information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, that If the Borrower so requests in any notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided, further that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the Issuing Bank not to permit such extension or (C) such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit is an Existing Letter of Credit.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments,

and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the

extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent

or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.06 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation

or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans; provided, that any payment made by the Borrower shall be made without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against the Lender failing to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07 Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.08 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the total Commitments) and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other receipt of funds, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.09 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.10 Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty but subject to amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.11 Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the actual daily amount by which such Lender’s Commitment exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.20, during the period from and

including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank in the Fee Letter on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Unless otherwise specified above, participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

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

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (other than in the case, and to the extent, of any overpayment thereof by the Borrower).

SECTION 2.12 Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Loan, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

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

SECTION 2.13 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

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

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Borrower of any such alternate interest rate and shall provide a calculation and explanation of the circumstances described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b).

SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section (containing a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis on which such amount or amounts were calculated and explaining the Change in Law by reason of which it has become entitled to be so compensated) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is

retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, this Section 2.13 shall have no application with respect to any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or any Excluded Taxes, which matters, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be dealt with exclusively under Section 2.16.

SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable

expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any documentation required to be delivered to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph. No Person shall be entitled to become a Lender or Participant unless it shall have complied with the requirements of the first sentence of this paragraph (if such requirements are applicable to it).

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03

shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

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

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative

Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.19 Increase in Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Commitments by an amount (for all such increases) not exceeding $100,000,000; provided that (i) any such increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three such increases and (iii) any such increase shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b) Increasing and Additional Lenders. The Borrower may, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, designate any Lender party to this Agreement (with the consent of such Lender, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion) or another Person (which may be, but need not be, an existing Lender) which qualifies as an Eligible Assignee (including that such Person shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if such Person is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund) and which at the time agrees in its sole discretion to (i) in the case of any such designated Lender that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment, and (ii) in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), become a party to this Agreement pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(c) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase in consultation with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(d) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date. The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(e) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17 or 9.02 to the contrary.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans or unreimbursed LC Disbursements may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of

payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent;

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; and

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; or

(v) if all or any portion of any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure are neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure are cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event shall occur with respect to a Person with respect to whom a Lender is a subsidiary following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b)(i)) payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the Issuing Bank and amounts payable under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b)(i) and interest on the Loans, LC Exposure and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

ARTICLE VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 8.01 Agency Matters. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

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

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its

Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor (which shall not be a Defaulting Lender) subject to the prior written consent (except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default) of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the

Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

SECTION 8.02 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the Issuing Bank (including in their capacities as potential Cash Management Bank and potential Hedge Bank) irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than any contingent indemnification or similar contingent obligation not yet due and payable) and the expiration or termination or cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or transferred, or to be sold or transferred, as part of or in connection with any sale or transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 9.02; (b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and (c) to subordinate any Lien, or to enter into or amend any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Lien, on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(d).

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 8.02. In each case as specified in this Section 8.02, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 8.02.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative

Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender or (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be and (y) the Fee Letter, each Secured Cash Management Agreement and each Secured Hedge Agreement may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except as set forth in Section 2.20(b).

(c) If, in connection with any proposed waiver, amendment or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 9.02(b), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) and shall grant its consent to the proposed waiver, amendment or modification; provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts).

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for

the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

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

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

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

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

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, it being understood and agreed that it shall be reasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent for an assignment to an assignee if such assignee is a Foreign Lender which would require the Borrower to withhold amounts in respect of interest payments to such Foreign Lender) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment; and

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

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

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this

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

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

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

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

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03); provided however, that no such assignment or transfer shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against such Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

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

notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

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

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties herein, in each other Loan Document and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Obligations are outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

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

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

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any

other Loan Document held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Secured Parties may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

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

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

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

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, in each case who have a need to know such Information in accordance with customary banking practices (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT

HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

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

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

DISCLOSED MATTERS

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are involved in various routine legal proceedings as both plaintiff and defendant incident to the ordinary course of its business, including proceedings to protect our intellectually property rights.

As part of the Borrower’s policing program for its intellectual property rights, from time to time, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries file lawsuits in the US and abroad alleging acts of trademark counterfeiting, trademark infringement, patent infringement, trade dress infringement, trademark dilution, and state or foreign law claims. At any given point in time, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may have a number of such actions pending. These actions often result in seizure of counterfeit merchandise or out of court settlements with defendants or both. From time to time, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are subject to claims where plaintiffs will raise, or defendants will raise, either as affirmative defenses or as counterclaims, the invalidity or unenforceability of certain of the intellectual properties owned by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, including the trademark registration for UGG Australia. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries also are aware of many instances throughout the world in which a third party is suing the UGG trademarks within its internet domain name, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have discovered and are investigating several manufacturers and distributors of counterfeit Teva and UGG products.

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries believe that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on their business or consolidated financial statements.

FORM OF OPINION OF LOAN PARTIES’ COUNSEL

August 30, 2011

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association,
as Administrative Agent, and the several Lenders

Re: Credit Agreement dated as of August 30, 2011

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Deckers Outdoor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Deckers Consumer Direct Corporation, an Arizona corporation (“Consumer Direct”), Deckers Retail, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Deckers Retail”), Tsubo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tsubo”), and Mozo, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Mozo” and collectively with Consumer Direct, Deckers Retail and Tsubo, each individually a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of August 30, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto (including JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of the Credit Agreement. The Borrower and the respective Guarantors are sometimes referred to in this letter individually as a “Loan Party,” and collectively as the “Loan Parties.” Unless specifically defined herein or the context requires otherwise, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the preparation of this opinion, we have examined the following documents:

(ix) the Articles of Organization of Deckers Retail, certified by the California Secretary of State as of September 28, 2010 and certified to us by an officer of said limited liability company as being complete, inclusive of all amendments to date, and in full force and effect as of the date of this opinion;

(x) the Operating Agreement of Deckers Retail, certified to us by an officer of said limited liability company as being complete, inclusive of all amendments to date, and in full force and effect as of the date of this opinion;

(xi) the Certificate of Formation of Tsubo, certified by the Delaware Secretary of State as of August 18, 2011 and certified to us by an officer of the corporation which is the manager of said limited liability company as being complete, inclusive of all amendments to date, and in full force and effect as of the date of this opinion;

(xii) the Operating Agreement of Tsubo, certified to us by an officer of the corporation which is the manager of said limited liability company as being complete, inclusive of all amendments to date, and in full force and effect as of the date of this opinion;

(xv) records of the corporate proceedings of each such Loan Party relating to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement certified to us by an officer of the respective Loan Party as constituting all records of proceedings relating to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement;

(xvi) originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such records, agreements, instruments and certificates of public officials and of the

Loan Parties as we have deemed necessary and relevant to form the basis for our opinions herein.

(xvii) Certificates of Status or equivalent instruments, each of recent date, certified by the Secretary of State of each respective Loan Party’s state of incorporation, organization or formation, with respect to the “good standing” or equivalent status of such Loan Party;

(xviii) a certificate of certain officers of the Loan Parties identifying certain agreements and instruments (in each case including all amendments to date) to which the Borrower and/or one or more Guarantors is a party or by which the Borrower and/or one or more Guarantors’ properties or assets are bound (the “Certificate Relating to Agreements”);

(xix) a copy, certified to us as being a true and correct copy of the original, of each of the agreements and instruments identified in the Certificate Relating to Agreements (the “Material Agreements”);

(xx) the following UCC financing statements (collectively, the “Financing Statements”):

a. Form UCC1 naming the Borrower as debtor and the Administrative Agent as secured party, to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Filing Office”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B-1;

b. Form UCC1 naming Consumer Direct as debtor and the Administrative Agent as secured party, to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona (the “Arizona Filing Office”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B-2;

(xxi) a certificate of certain officers of the Loan Parties as to certain factual matters relevant to this opinion.

We have made no additional state-level investigation after the respective dates stated in items (v), (vii), (ix), (xi) and (xiii) above of those items in rendering our opinion expressed in Paragraph 1.

Each of the documents identified in items (i) through (iv) above is sometimes referred to herein as a “Loan Agreement.” We have also examined such other documents and made such further legal and factual examination and investigation as we deem necessary for purposes of rendering the following opinions.

For purposes of the below, (i) “Article 9 Collateral” means the Collateral described in the Security Agreement in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York (the “NY UCC”) and (ii) “Filing Collateral” means that portion of the Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement (other than a fixture filing) under the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) as in effect in the state of filing.

We have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, faxes or .pdf files, and the genuineness of all signatures. We have also assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons and that, with respect to all parties to agreements or instruments relevant hereto (other than the Loan Parties), such parties had the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform such agreements or instruments, that such agreements or instruments have been duly authorized by all requisite action have been duly, executed and delivered by such parties, and that such agreements or instruments are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of such parties. We have also assumed that all Loan Agreement promissory notes executed and delivered after the Closing Date will have been executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Borrower then duly authorized to do so. We have also assumed, for purposes of the opinions expressed herein, that:

(a) each Lender is (i) a subsidiary of a bank holding company (as such term is defined in Section 3707 of the California Financial Code) or is a bank organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, (ii) a foreign (other nation) bank described in Section 1716 of the California Financial Code meeting the criteria for exemption set forth therein, (iii) licensed under the California Finance Lenders Law (Cal. Fin. Code § 22000 et seq.), or (iv) a lending institution otherwise belonging to an exempt class of persons and, as a result thereof, that the Lender is exempt from the restrictions of Section 1 of Article XV of the Constitution of the State of California relating to rates of interest upon the loan of money;

(b) the Loans will be made by the Lenders for their own accounts or for the account of another person that qualifies for an exemption from the interest rate limitations of California and other applicable law; and

(c) there is no agreement by the Lenders (or any of them) to sell participations or any other interest in the Loans to be made under the Loan Agreements to any person other than a person that qualifies for an exemption from the interest rate limitations of California and other applicable law.

We have also assumed that:

(a) the description of the Collateral contained in the Loan Agreements and the Financing Statements “reasonably identifies” the Collateral;

(b) each Loan Party has sufficient “rights” or “power to transfer rights” in each item within the Collateral consistent with and sufficient for purposes of the Loan Agreements to which such Loan Party is a party; and

(c) the Loan Parties have each received legally sufficient consideration and “value” for their respective obligations under the Loan Agreements and for the granting of security interests in their property as security for such obligations, for the granting of guarantees, or for the pledge of the Pledged Securities (as defined below).

As to questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied upon the representations of each party made in the Loan Agreements and the matters and statements contained in other documents and certificates delivered in connection therewith, certificates of officers of the Loan Parties furnished to us, and certificates and advices of public officials and have made no independent investigation of such matters.

We have assumed with your permission that there are no documents or agreements between or among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or any of them), on the one hand, and the Loan Parties (or any of them), on the other hand, which would expand or otherwise modify the respective rights and obligations of such parties as set forth in the Loan Agreements and the documents required or contemplated thereby. We also have assumed with your permission that there are no facts or circumstances relating to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent that might prevent such parties from enforcing any of the rights to which our opinion relates (for example, lack of due incorporation or good standing or qualification to conduct business, or statutory or regulatory prohibitions applicable to any of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent by virtue of its failure to pay applicable state taxes).

Where a statement herein is qualified by “known to us” or “to our knowledge” or any similar phrase, that knowledge is limited to the actual knowledge of lawyers currently in this firm who have been involved in representing the Borrower and the Guarantors in connection with the Loan Agreements (and not including any constructive or imputed notice of any information). Except as otherwise expressly indicated, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of any such statement (for example, we have not searched the dockets of any courts), and any limited inquiry undertaken by us during the preparation of this opinion letter should not be regarded as such an investigation; and no inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Loan Parties or the rendering of the opinions set forth below.

We are members of the State Bar of California and not of the bars of other States and accordingly we do not express any opinion herein concerning any laws other than the laws of the State of California, the Delaware General Corporation Law, the federal law of the United States and the UCC as in effect in the States of Arizona, Colorado, Delaware and New York.

We advise you that (a) our opinion in Paragraphs 10 and 13 with respect to the State of Delaware is based solely upon a review of Article 9 of the Delaware UCC (as defined below) as

currently set forth in the UCC Reporter Digest for such State, as published by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Company, Inc., and excludes any review of judicial or official decisions interpreting these sections or any other review; (b) our opinion in Paragraph 11 with respect to the State of Arizona is based solely upon a review of Article 9 of the Arizona UCC (as defined below) as currently set forth in the UCC Reporter Digest for such State, as published by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Company, Inc., and excludes any review of judicial or official decisions interpreting these sections or any other review; (c) our opinion in Paragraph 14 with respect to the State of Colorado is based solely upon a review of Article 9 of the Colorado UCC (as defined below) as currently set forth in the UCC Reporter Digest for such State, as published by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Company, Inc., and excludes any review of judicial or official decisions interpreting these sections or any other review; and (d) our opinion in Paragraph 9 with respect to the NY UCC is based solely upon a review of Article 9 of the NY UCC as currently set forth in the UCC Reporter Digest for such State, as published by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx & Company, Inc., and excludes any review of judicial or official decisions interpreting these sections or any other review.

We further call your attention to the fact that the Loan Agreements state that they are governed by New York law and that our opinions below are based on our assumption (with your permission) that the internal laws of the State of New York are the same as the internal laws of the State of California and would be applied to the Loan Agreements in a similar manner. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of the State of New York or the laws of the State of California, or the law of any other jurisdiction, would be held to govern the interpretation and enforcement of the Loan Agreements, nor as to whether the internal laws of the State of New York are in fact the same as the internal laws of the State of California nor as to whether they would be applied to the Loan Agreements in a similar manner.

Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to compliance with any law, rule or regulation that as a matter of customary practice is understood to be covered only when an opinion refers to it expressly. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion on local or municipal or regional law, antitrust, environmental, land use, safety, hazardous material, securities, tax, margin, antiterrorism, money laundering, or investment company laws, rules or regulations, or, except with respect to creation or perfection of a security interest, any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property matter (or the statutes, regulations, treaties or common laws of any nation, state or jurisdiction with regard thereto) or on any local, municipal or regional law, rule or regulation requiring licenses, permits and approvals necessary for the conduct of the Borrower’s business. We expressly do not comment upon or render any opinion with respect to any documents contemplated by or referenced in or forms of which are attached to the Loan Agreements, other than the Loan Agreements themselves.

Based upon the foregoing and our examination of such matters of fact and questions of law as we have deemed advisable or appropriate for our opinion, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, limitations and qualifications expressed in this opinion letter, it is our opinion that:

1. The Borrower is a corporation validly incorporated and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each Guarantor is a corporation or limited liability company

incorporated, organized or formed in, and in good standing under, such Guarantor’s state of incorporation, organization or formation.

2. Each of the Loan Parties has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to own its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as, to our knowledge, it is presently conducted.

3. Each of the Loan Parties has the corporate or limited liability company power to enter into and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Agreements to which it is a party.

4. Each of the Loan Parties has taken all corporate or limited liability company action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, each of the Loan Agreements to which it is a party; and each of the Loan Parties has duly executed and delivered the Loan Agreements to which it is a party.

5. Each of the Loan Agreements to which the Borrower or a Guarantor is a party is a valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be subject to or limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting rights of creditors generally; and (b) general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, commercial reasonableness, and good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

6. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Loan Agreements and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority of California, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.

7. The execution and delivery by the Borrower and each respective Guarantor of the Loan Agreements to which it is a party do not, and the performance by it of its respective obligations under those Loan Agreements will not: (a) violate the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Borrower or the Articles or Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or the Articles of Organization or the Certificate of Formation or the Operating Agreement, of such Guarantor; (b) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any Material Agreement listed on Exhibit A or result in the creation of a security interest in, or Lien upon, such Loan Party’s properties or assets under any Material Agreement listed on Exhibit A; or (c) violate any federal, Delaware corporate or California rule or regulation applicable to it.

8. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, or proceeding against any Loan Party, or the property of any Loan Party, in any court or tribunal or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental authority, pending or overtly threatened in writing against any Loan Party (A) asserting the invalidity of any of the Loan Agreements or any document to be delivered by any Loan Party thereunder, or (B) seeking any determination or ruling that might reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (i) the performance by any Loan Party of its obligations under the Loan Agreements or any document to be delivered thereunder (other than simply by financially weakening such Loan Party), or (ii) the validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreements or any documents to be delivered thereunder.

9. The provisions of the Security Agreement are effective under the NY UCC to create in favor of the Administrative Agent a security interest in each Loan Party’s rights in such Loan Party’s Article 9 Collateral and in any identifiable cash proceeds thereof.

10. When and if, pre-bankruptcy, the Financing Statement naming the Borrower as the debtor attached as Exhibit B-1 is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”)) in the Delaware Filing Office, under the provisions of Delaware UCC the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Borrower’s rights in its Filing Collateral and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof will be perfected.

11. When and if, pre-bankruptcy, the Financing Statement naming Consumer Direct as the debtor attached as Exhibit B-2 is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Arizona (the “Arizona UCC”)) in the Arizona Filing Office, under the provisions of Arizona UCC the Administrative Agent’s security interest in Consumer Direct’s rights in its Filing Collateral and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof will be perfected.

12. When and if, pre-bankruptcy, the Financing Statement naming Deckers Retail as the debtor attached as Exhibit B-3 is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of California (the “California UCC”)) in the California Filing Office, under the provisions of California UCC the Administrative Agent’s security interest in Deckers Retail’s rights in its Filing Collateral and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof will be perfected.

13. When and if, pre-bankruptcy, the Financing Statement naming Tsubo as the debtor attached as Exhibit B-4 is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the Delaware UCC) in the Delaware Filing Office, under the provisions of Delaware UCC the Administrative Agent’s security interest in Tsubo’s rights in its Filing Collateral and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof will be perfected.

14. When and if, pre-bankruptcy, the Financing Statement naming Mozo as the debtor attached as Exhibit B-5 is filed (within the meaning of Section 9-516 of the UCC as in effect in the State of Colorado (the “Colorado UCC”)) in the Colorado Filing Office, under the provisions of Colorado UCC the Administrative Agent’s security interest in Mozo’s rights in its Filing Collateral and in identifiable cash proceeds thereof will be perfected.

15. Pursuant to Sections 9-301(2) and 9-305(a)(1) of the California UCC, the local law of the jurisdiction where certificated securities are actually located governs perfection of a possessory security interest in such securities. Assuming that, pre-bankruptcy, the Administrative Agent (in good faith and without notice of any liens, adverse claims or encumbrances other than the Borrower’s ownership interest therein and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein) takes delivery and, after such taking of delivery, retains possession (as such terms are used in Section 8-301 and Section 9-313 of the California UCC in the State of California of certificates in registered form representing the securities pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement (the “Pledged Securities”), and further assuming the Pledged Securities are “securities” and are each duly indorsed to the Administrative Agent or in blank by an effective endorsement or are accompanied by undated stock powers with respect thereto duly indorsed to the Administrative Agent or in blank by an effective endorsement, the

Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Borrower’s rights in the Pledged Securities will be perfected by “control” (within the meaning of the California UCC).

Our opinions are subject to the following additional qualifications:

1. We advise you that, on statutory or public policy grounds, waivers or limitations of the following may not be enforced: (i) broadly or vaguely stated rights, (ii) the benefits of statutory, regulatory or constitutional rights, (iii) unknown future defenses or unknown future rights, (iv) rights to one or more types of damages, and (v) indemnities.

2. We express no opinion regarding the enforceability of Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement and similar provisions of the other sections of the Loan Agreements, relating to the payment of attorneys’ fees and costs, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy.

3. We express no opinion regarding the enforceability of Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement and the provisions of the other sections of the Loan Agreements, which purports to establish a choice of law and/or fix the venue of proceedings relating to the Loan Agreements.

4. We express no opinion regarding the enforceability of Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement and the provisions of the other sections of the Loan Agreements, which purport to waive the parties’ rights to a jury trial.

5. We express no opinion with respect to:

a. the priority of any security interest;

b. any provision of any Loan Agreement that purports to permit the Administrative Agent or any other person to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral subject thereto except in compliance with the NY UCC, any other applicable federal and state laws and any agreement governing such Collateral, or to impose on the Administrative Agent standards of care of Collateral in the Administrative Agent’s possession other than as provided in Section 9-207 of the NY UCC; or

c. Collateral consisting of real property, copyrights, farm products, consumer goods, as-extracted collateral, commercial tort claims (as such terms are defined in the NY UCC) or timber to be cut, or Collateral which is subject to a state statute or a statute or treaty of the United States which provides for a certificate of title or national or international registration.

6. Other than the opinion in Paragraphs 10 through 15 above, our opinions do not include any opinion as to the perfection or perfectibility of, or the filings and other steps needed to perfect, any security interest or Lien.

7. We advise you that we have not made or undertaken to make any investigation as to the existence of or state of title to the Collateral and we express no opinion as to the existence, condition or location of the Collateral.

8. We advise you of California statutory provisions and case law to the effect that a guarantor may be discharged, in whole or in part, if the beneficiary of the guaranty alters the obligation of the principal, fails to inform the guarantor of material information pertinent to the principal or any collateral, elects remedies that may impair either the subrogation or reimbursement rights of the guarantor against the principal or the value of any collateral, fails to

accord the guarantor the protections afforded a debtor under Division 9 of the California Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise takes any action that prejudices the guarantor, unless, in any such case, the guarantor has effectively waived such rights or the consequences of such action or has consented to such action. While we believe that a California court should hold that the explicit language contained in the Guaranty waiving such rights should be enforceable, we express no opinion with respect to the effect of: (i) any modification to or amendment of the obligations of the Borrower that materially increases such obligations; (ii) any election of remedies by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement; or (iii) any other action by the Administrative Agent that materially prejudices a Guarantor, if, in any such instance, such modification, election, or action occurs without notice to such Guarantor and without granting to such Guarantor an opportunity to cure any default by the Borrower.

9. We advise you that principles of commercial reasonableness, materiality and good faith and fair dealing, as applied to the Loan Agreements, require you to act reasonably, in good faith and in a manner that is not arbitrary or capricious in the administration and enforcement of the Loan Agreements and will preclude you from invoking penalties (including, if deemed to constitute a penalty, liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies) or other remedies for defaults that bear no reasonable relation to the damage suffered or that would otherwise work a forfeiture.

10. We advise you that no security interest created by the Loan Agreements in a particular item of Collateral can be first perfected after the bankruptcy of the Loan Party which granted such security interest in such particular item of Collateral.

11. We advise you that Section 552 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case.

12. We express no opinion regarding the applicability or effect of Sections 544 and 548 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and Section 3439 et seq. of the California Civil Code or any other federal or state fraudulent transfer or similar law on the Loan Agreements.

13. We express no opinion regarding the effect upon the enforceability of the Loan Agreements of the sections of Article 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code which impose procedural limitations on the exercise of remedies by a secured creditor.

14. We express no opinion as to any state or federal laws, rules or regulations applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreements because of the nature of the business of any party thereto other than the Loan Parties.

15. We express no opinion with respect to:

(a) the effect of applicable law providing that a court may refuse to enforce, or may limit the application of, a contract or any clause thereof which the court finds as a matter of law to have been unconscionable at the time it was made;

(b) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations;

(d) provisions to the effect that a guarantor is liable as a primary obligor, and not as a surety; and

(e) provisions for the severability of provisions which are invalid for being violative of public policy.

16. We express no opinion with respect to enforceability under certain circumstances of:

(a) any provisions prohibiting waivers of any terms of the Loan Agreements other than in writing, or prohibiting oral modifications thereof or modification by trade practice or course of conduct. In addition, our opinions are subject to the effect of judicial decisions which may permit the introduction of extrinsic evidence to interpret the terms of written contracts such as the Loan Agreements;

(b) any provisions to the effect that rights or remedies may be exercised without notice, or that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy; and

(c) any provisions to the effect that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy, or that election of a particular remedy or remedies does not preclude recourse to one or more remedies.

17. We express no opinion as to the effect on or under the Material Agreements of: (i) financial covenants or similar provisions therein requiring financial calculations or determinations to ascertain compliance, (ii) provisions therein relating to the occurrence of a “material adverse event” or words of similar import or (iii) parol evidence bearing on interpretation or construction. Moreover, to the extent that any of such Material Agreements is governed by the laws of any jurisdiction other than California, the opinion relating to those Material Agreements is based solely upon the plain meaning of their language without regard to interpretation or construction that might be indicated by the laws governing those Material Agreements, and is further based on the result that would be obtained if a court were to apply the internal laws of the State of California (excluding conflicts of law principles) to the interpretation and enforcement of such Material Agreements.

The foregoing opinions speak as of the date hereof only, and this letter may be relied upon solely by the Lenders and Administrative Agent for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. The foregoing opinions are being furnished to you solely for your benefit and may not be relied upon by any other person, nor may copies be delivered to any other person, without our prior written consent. Our opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters relating to the Loan Parties, the Loans or the Loan Agreements. We disclaim any obligation to advise you of any change of law that occurs, or any facts, circumstances, events or developments of which we become aware, after the date of this opinion letter, even if they would alter, affect or modify the opinion expressed herein.

This opinion letter is based on the customary practice of lawyers who regularly give, and lawyers who regularly advise opinion recipients regarding, opinions of the kind involved, including customary practice as described in bar association reports.

Very truly yours,

GUARANTY

THIS GUARANTY (“Guaranty”), dated as of August 30, 2011, is executed and delivered by each Domestic Subsidiary (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) of Deckers Outdoor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), listed on the signature pages hereof and, as required by the Credit Agreement (as defined below), any future Domestic Subsidiary that executes and delivers a Joinder hereto (each a “Guarantor” and, collectively with the Borrower, the “Loan Parties”), in favor of the Lenders, the Cash Management Banks, the Hedge Banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”, and collectively with the Lenders, the Cash Management Banks and the Hedge Banks, the “Secured Parties”) for the Lenders.

WHEREAS, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (said Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented, modified or restated from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”; the terms defined therein and not otherwise defined herein being used herein as therein defined) with the Borrower;

WHEREAS, certain Hedge Banks and Cash Management Banks may enter into Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements with the Loan Parties;

WHEREAS, each of the Guarantors will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, the Secured Hedge Agreements and the Secured Cash Management Agreements;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and in order to induce the Lenders to make the credit extensions contemplated under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors hereby agree, jointly and severally, as follows:

1. Construction. Unless the context of this Guaranty clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the part includes the whole, the term “including” is not limiting, and the term “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and other similar terms refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guaranty. Any reference in this Guaranty to any of the following documents includes any and all alterations, amendments, extensions, modifications, renewals, supplements or restatements thereto or thereof, as applicable: the Loan Documents; the Credit Agreement; and this Guaranty. Neither this Guaranty nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against Secured Parties or any Guarantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Guaranty has been reviewed by Guarantors, Secured Parties, and their respective counsel, and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of Secured Parties and Guarantors.

2. Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties to Secured Parties, as and for its own debt, until final

111

and indefeasible payment thereof has been made, the due and punctual payment of all Obligations (collectively, the “Guarantied Obligations”), in each case when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise; it being the intent of each Guarantor that the guaranty set forth herein shall be a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection; provided, however, that each Guarantor shall be liable under this Guaranty for the maximum amount of such liability that can be incurred without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount.

Each Guarantor represents and warrants to Secured Parties that (i) this Guaranty has not been given with an intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor of such Guarantor; (ii) such Guarantor is not engaged, or about to engage, in any business or transaction for which its assets (other than those necessary to satisfy its obligations under this Guaranty) are unreasonably small in relation to the business or transaction, nor does such Guarantor currently intend to incur, or believe or reasonably should believe that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they become due; and (iii) such Guarantor is not insolvent at the time it gives this Guaranty, and the giving of this Guaranty will not result in such Guarantor’s becoming insolvent. Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that, as long as this Guaranty remains in effect, such Guarantor (i) shall incur no indebtedness beyond its ability to repay the same in full in accordance with the terms thereof; and (ii) shall not take any action, or suffer to occur any omission, which could be reasonably likely to give rise to a claim by any third party to set aside this Guaranty, or in any manner materially impair Secured Parties’ rights and privileges hereunder or thereunder.

3. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty includes Guarantied Obligations arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guarantied Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guarantied Obligations after prior Guarantied Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future Guarantied Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by Secured Parties, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations in existence on such date (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Secured Parties in existence on the date of such revocation, (d) no payment by any Guarantor, Borrower, or from any other source, prior to the date of such revocation, shall reduce the maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder, and (e) any payment by Borrower or from any source other than such Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Guarantied Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

4. Performance under this Guaranty. In the event that Borrower fails to make any payment of any Guarantied Obligations on or before the due date thereof, each Guarantor immediately shall cause such payment to be made.

112

5. Primary Obligations. This Guaranty is a primary and original obligation of each Guarantor, is not merely the creation of a surety relationship, and is an absolute, unconditional, and continuing guaranty of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions, including any change of law. Each Guarantor agrees that it is directly, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, liable to Secured Parties, that the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower or any other Guarantor, and that a separate action may be brought against such Guarantor, whether such action is brought against Borrower or another Guarantor or whether Borrower or any such other Guarantor is joined in such action. Each Guarantor agrees that its liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by Secured Parties of whatever remedies they may have against Borrower or any other Guarantor, or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any security Secured Parties may at any time possess. Each Guarantor agrees that any release which may be given by Secured Parties to Borrower or any other Guarantor shall not release such Guarantor. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that Secured Parties shall be under no obligation to marshal any property or assets of Borrower or any other Guarantor in favor of such Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guarantied Obligations.

6. Waivers.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Credit Agreement, or the creation or existence of any Guarantied Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Guarantied Obligations, subject, however, to such Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of Administrative Agent to ascertain the amount of the Guarantied Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any promissory note or any other instrument; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to a Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which such Guarantor is party) and demands to which such Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives the right by statute or otherwise to require Secured Parties to institute suit against Borrower or to exhaust any rights and remedies which Secured Parties have or may have against Borrower. In this regard, each Guarantor agrees that it is bound to the payment of each and all Guarantied Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter accruing, as fully as if such Guarantied Obligations were directly owing to Secured Parties by such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guarantied Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower in respect thereof.

(c) To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives: (i) any rights to assert against Secured Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any

113

other party liable to Secured Parties; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations, other than the defense that the Guarantied Obligations have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Secured Parties; (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantied Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and (v) all other rights and defenses the assertion or exercise of which would in any way diminish the liability of Guarantor hereunder, other than the defense that the Guarantied Obligations have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6(c) shall not be deemed to waive any portion of any right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification or similar right that would not be waived pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(e).

(d) WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY, GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL BENEFITS OR DEFENSES THAT MAY BE DERIVED FROM OR AFFORDED BY LAW WHICH LIMITS THE LIABILITY OF OR EXONERATES GUARANTIES OR SURETIES OR REQUIRES SECURED PARTIES TO EXHAUST REMEDIES AGAINST THE BORROWER PRIOR TO COMMENCING ANY ACTION OR FORECLOSURE AGAINST SUCH GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE BENEFITS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §§2787 THROUGH AND INCLUDING §2855, CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §§2899 AND 3433, CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE §§580A, 580B, 580C, 580D, AND 726, AND CHAPTER 2 OF TITLE 14 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, AND ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISIONS OF SUCH SECTIONS, OR ANY SIMILAR LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF ANY OTHER WAIVER OR OTHER PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS GUARANTY, GUARANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY ANY SECURED PARTY, EVEN THOUGH SUCH ELECTION OF REMEDIES, SUCH AS A NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO SECURITY FOR THE GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS, HAS DESTROYED GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST BORROWER BY THE OPERATION OF APPLICABLE LAW INCLUDING §580D OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR ANY SIMILAR LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

(e) (1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document, until full and final payment of the Guarantied Obligations, each Guarantor hereby waives with respect to Borrower and its respective successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other party any and all rights at law or in equity, to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to setoff or to any other rights that could

114

accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker and which such Guarantor may have or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any other party in connection with or as a result of Borrower’s execution, delivery and/or performance of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not have or assert any such rights against Borrower or Borrower’s successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against such Guarantor by Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity) or any other Person until the Guarantied Obligations have been fully and finally repaid to the Secured Parties. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the Borrower’s liability hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which Borrower is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.

(2) To the extent any waiver of subrogation contained in subparagraph (e)(1) is unenforceable, each Guarantor shall, until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated or canceled (or the reimbursement obligations in respect thereof shall have been secured with cash collateral or letters of credit in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank), withhold exercise of (a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower 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 (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by the Secured Parties, and (b) any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other Guarantor (including without limitation any such right of contribution). Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the 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 Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Guarantor may have against any such other Guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Secured Parties may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest the Secured Parties may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right the Secured Parties may have against such other Guarantor. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may use, sell or dispose of any item of collateral or security as it sees fit without regard to any subrogation rights any Guarantor may have, and upon any such disposition or sale any rights of subrogation Guarantors may have shall terminate. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification rights at any time when all Guarantied Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders to be

115

credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 12 of this Guaranty.

7. Releases. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Guarantor and without affecting or impairing the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder, Secured Parties may, by action or inaction, compromise or settle, extend the period of duration or the time for the payment, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to, or otherwise not enforce, or may, by action or inaction, release all or any one or more parties to, any one or more of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or may grant other indulgences to Borrower in respect thereof, or may amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any one or more of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or may, by action or inaction, release or substitute any other Guarantor, if any, of the Guarantied Obligations, or may enforce, exchange, release, or waive, by action or inaction, any security for the Guarantied Obligations (including any collateral) or any other guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations, or any portion thereof.

8. No Election. Secured Parties shall have the right to seek recourse against any Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein and no election by Secured Parties to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any Guarantor or other party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Secured Parties’ right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Guarantor or other parties unless Secured Parties have expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Secured Parties under any document or instrument evidencing the Guarantied Obligations shall serve to diminish the liability of Guarantors under this Guaranty except to the extent that Secured Parties finally and unconditionally shall have realized indefeasible payment by such action or proceeding.

9. Indefeasible Payment. The Guarantied Obligations shall not be considered indefeasibly paid for purposes of this Guaranty unless and until all payments to Secured Parties are no longer subject to any right on the part of any person whomsoever, including Borrower, Borrower as a debtor in possession, or any trustee (whether appointed under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise) of Borrower’s assets to invalidate or set aside such payments or to seek to recoup the amount of such payments or any portion thereof, or to declare same to be fraudulent or preferential. In the event that, for any reason, all or any portion of such payments to Secured Parties is set aside or restored, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, after the making thereof, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied thereby shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment or payments had not been made and each Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount Secured Parties are required to repay plus any and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) paid by Secured Parties in connection therewith.

10. Financial Condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to Secured Parties that it is currently informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor further represents and warrants to Secured Parties that it has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby covenants that it will continue to keep itself informed of Borrower’s financial condition, the financial condition of

116

other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guarantied Obligations.

11. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default any and all present and future indebtedness of Borrower owing to such Guarantor shall be postponed in favor of and subordinated to payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that amounts paid over to Secured Parties pursuant to the subordination provisions of this Section 11 shall be separate and apart from, and shall not be credited to, the liability of such Guarantor pursuant to Section 2.

12. Payments; Application. All payment to be made hereunder by any Guarantor shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America at the time of payment, shall be made in immediately available funds, and shall be made without setoff, deduction (whether for Taxes or otherwise) or counterclaim.

15. Cumulative Remedies. No remedy under this Guaranty, under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other remedy given under this Guaranty, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and those provided by law. No delay or omission by Secured Parties to exercise any right under this Guaranty shall impair any such right nor be construed to be a waiver thereof. No failure on the part of Secured Parties to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Guaranty preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

16. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable under applicable law, shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty is prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision will be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. Consistent with the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, in the event that any action or proceeding is brought in whatever form and in whatever forum seeking to invalidate any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty under any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer theory, or similar avoidance theory, whether under state or federal law, such Guarantor (the “Affected Guarantor”), automatically and without any further action being required of the Affected Guarantor or any Secured Party, shall be liable under this Guaranty only for an amount equal to the maximum amount of liability that can be incurred under applicable law by the Affected Guarantor without rendering the obligations of the Affected Guarantor under this Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or any other grounds for avoidance (such highest amount

118

determined hereunder being the Affected Guarantor’s “Maximum Guaranty Amount”), and not for any greater amount, as if the stated amount of this Guaranty as to the Affected Guarantor had instead been the Maximum Guaranty Amount. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties under this Guaranty to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither the Affected Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to the limitation described in this Guaranty, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Affected Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.

17. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement among each Guarantor and Secured Parties pertaining to the subject matter contained herein. This Guaranty may not be altered, amended, or modified, nor may any provision hereof be waived or noncompliance therewith consented to, except by means of a writing executed by each Guarantor and Administrative Agent. Any such alteration, amendment, modification, waiver, or consent shall be effective only to the extent specified therein and for the specific purpose for which given. No course of dealing and no delay or waiver of any right or default under this Guaranty shall be deemed a waiver of any other, similar or dissimilar, right or default or otherwise prejudice the rights and remedies hereunder.

18. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Guaranty shall be binding each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Secured Parties; provided, however, no Guarantor shall assign this Guaranty or delegate any of its duties hereunder without Secured Parties’ prior written consent and any unconsented to assignment shall be absolutely void. In the event of any assignment or other transfer of rights by Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the rights and benefits herein conferred upon Secured Parties shall automatically extend to and be vested in such assignee or other transferee.

19. Discharge of Guaranty upon Sale of Guarantor. Pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement, if any Guarantor shall cease to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower as the result of a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall release such Guarantor from this Guaranty and shall, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

20. CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THE VALIDITY OF THIS GUARANTY, ITS CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT, AND THE RIGHTS OF EACH GUARANTOR AND SECURED PARTIES, SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTOR AND EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. GUARANTOR AND EACH

119

SECURED PARTY REPRESENT THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS GUARANTY MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

21. Joint and Several Liability. The liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall be joint and several.

22. California Judicial Reference. If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the State of California by or against any party hereto in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, (a) the parties agree, and hereby agree to advise the applicable court, that the adjudication of any such action or proceeding (and all related claims) shall be made pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 by a referee (who shall be a single active or retired judge) who shall hear and determine all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and report a statement of decision, provided that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any such issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the court, and (b) without limiting the generality of Section 13, the Borrower shall be solely responsible to pay all fees and expenses of any referee appointed in such action or proceeding.

The Administrative Agent, however, may, at any time that a Default exists, whether before or after any revocation of such power and authority or the maturity of any of the Liabilities, notify any parties obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder and enforce collection of any of the Non-Tangible Collateral by suit or otherwise and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby. Upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent during the existence of a Default, each Grantor will, at its own expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Non-Tangible Collateral to make payment to the Administrative Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

Upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent during the existence of a Default, (i) each Grantor will forthwith, upon receipt, transmit and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in the form received, all cash, checks, drafts and other instruments or writings for the payment of money (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Administrative Agent) which may be received by such Grantor at any time in full or partial payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral, and (ii) except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise consent in writing, any such items which may be so received by any Grantor during the existence of a Default will not be commingled with any other of its funds or property, but will be held separate and apart from its own funds or property and upon express trust for the Administrative Agent until delivery is made to the Administrative Agent. Each Grantor will comply with the terms and conditions of any consent given by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing sentence.

A-8

During the existence of a Default, (i) all items or amounts which are delivered by any Grantor to the Administrative Agent on account of partial or full payment or otherwise as proceeds of any of the Collateral shall be deposited to the credit of a deposit account (each an “Assignee Deposit Account”) under which the Administrative Agent is the depositary bank of such Grantor, as security for payment of the Liabilities, and (ii) no Grantor shall have any right to withdraw any funds deposited in the applicable Assignee Deposit Account. The Administrative Agent may, from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, and shall upon reasonable request of the applicable Grantor, apply all or any of the then balance, representing collected funds, in the Assignee Deposit Account, toward payment of the Liabilities, whether or not then due, in such order of application as the Administrative Agent may determine, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, in its reasonable discretion, release all or any of such balance to the applicable Grantor.

During the existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent is authorized to endorse, in the name of the applicable Grantor, any item, howsoever received by the Administrative Agent, representing any payment on or other proceeds of any of the Collateral.

Any such schedule, certificate or report shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of such Grantor and shall be in such form and detail as the Administrative Agent may reasonably specify. Each Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of any event causing any loss or depreciation in the value of its Inventory or other Goods which is material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and such notice shall specify the amount of such loss or depreciation.

Section 6.Agreements of the Grantors. Each Grantor (a) will, upon reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, execute such financing statements and other documents (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices reasonably deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent) and do such other acts and things (including, without limitation, delivery to the Administrative Agent of any Instruments or Certificated Securities which constitute Collateral), all as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, to establish and maintain a valid perfected security interest in the Collateral (free of all other liens, claims and rights of third parties whatsoever, other than Permitted Liens) to secure the payment of the Liabilities (and the Borrower hereby agrees to deliver Certificated Securities representing

Whenever a Default shall be existing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to bring suit to enforce any or all of the Intellectual Property or licenses thereunder, in which event the applicable Grantor shall at the request of the Administrative Agent do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents required by the Administrative Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Section 6, except to the extent any of the foregoing result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as set forth in

A-10

Section 8, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligations or liabilities regarding the Collateral or any thereof by reason of, or arising out of, this Agreement.

Section 0.Xx to Intellectual Property Collateral. Each Grantor covenants and agrees to comply with the following provisions as such provisions relate to any Intellectual Property Collateral material to the operations or business of such Grantor:

(a) Grantors shall not perform or fail to perform any act whereby any material Owned Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become abandoned or dedicated to the public or unenforceable, unless such Grantor (A) reasonably and in good faith determines that the relevant Owned Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer material to the Grantor’s business as it is then currently conducted, or (B) reasonably and in good faith determines that the maintenance of such Owned Intellectual Property Collateral would be commercially impracticable.

(b) On the date of this Agreement, each Grantor has delivered to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Patent Security Agreement, Trademark Security Agreement or Copyright Security Interest in the form of Exhibit A, Exhibit B or Exhibit C, as applicable (collectively, the “IP Agreements”), with respect to all Intellectual Property constituting Collateral. Concurrently with any supplement to Schedule IV, in the event that any Grantor has filed any new application to register any Intellectual Property, or has obtained any ownership interest in any Intellectual Property, in each case, since the most recent date on which such financial statements were delivered, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to modify this Agreement or the IP Agreements after obtaining such Grantor’s written approval of or signature to such modification by amending Schedule IV (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) or such IP Agreements to include reference to such new application, registration or ownership interest, and each Grantor that has not executed an applicable IP Agreement shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed IP Agreement with respect to such new application, registration or ownership interest. In each case such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any other document required to acknowledge or register, record or perfect the Administrative Agent’s interest in any part of such item of Intellectual Property unless such Grantor shall determine in good faith using its commercially reasonable business judgment (with the consent of the Administrative Agent) that any such Intellectual Property is not material and is of negligible economic value to such Grantor.

(c) Each Grantor shall take all necessary steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, to maintain and pursue any application (and to obtain the relevant registration) filed with respect to, and to maintain any registration of, the Owned Intellectual Property Collateral, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and the payment of fees and taxes, unless (i) such Grantor shall reasonably and in good faith determine (x) that any of such Owned Intellectual Property Collateral is of negligible economic value to such Grantor and (y) that the loss of such Owned Intellectual Property Collateral would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, or (ii) such Grantor shall reasonably and in good faith determine that the maintenance of such Owned Intellectual Property Collateral would be commercially impracticable.

A-11

Section 8.Default. Whenever a Default shall be existing, the Administrative Agent may exercise from time to time any and all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law, in addition to those described in this section below.

(a) Each Grantor agrees, in case of Default, (i) at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble, at its expense, all its Inventory and other Goods (other than Fixtures) at a convenient place or places acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) at the Administrative Agent’s request, to execute all such documents and do all such other things which may be necessary or desirable in order to enable the Administrative Agent or its nominee to be registered as owner of the Intellectual Property with any competent registration authority.

(b) Notice of the intended disposition of the Collateral may be given by first-class mail, hand-delivery (through a delivery service or otherwise), facsimile or E-mail, and shall be deemed to have been “sent” upon deposit in the U.S. Mails with adequate postage properly affixed, upon delivery to an express delivery service or upon the electronic submission through telephonic or Internet services, as applicable. Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that (i) with respect to collateral that is: (A) perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or (B) is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (including but not limited to, Investment Property), no notice of disposition need be given; and (ii) with respect to Collateral not described in clause (i) above, notification sent after the occurrence of and during the continuance of a Default and ten days before any proposed disposition provides notice within a reasonable time before disposition.

(c) Each Grantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that a commercially reasonable disposition of Inventory, Equipment, Computer Hardware and Software, or Intellectual Property may be by lease or license of, in addition to the sale of, such Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees and acknowledges that a disposition: (i) made in the usual manner on any recognized market, or (ii) a disposition at the price current in any recognized market at the time of disposition, or (iii) a disposition in conformity with reasonable commercial practices among dealers in the type of property subject to the disposition; shall be deemed commercially reasonable.

(d) Any cash proceeds of any disposition by the Administrative Agent of any of the Collateral shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to payment of expenses in connection with the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, and thereafter to the payment of any and all of the Liabilities in the order of application set forth in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement, and thereafter any surplus will be paid promptly to the Grantor. The Administrative Agent need not apply or pay over for application noncash proceeds of collection and enforcement unless: (i) the failure to do so would be commercially unreasonable and (ii) the affected Grantor has provided the Administrative Agent with a written demand to apply or pay over such noncash proceeds on such basis.

Section 9.General. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession if it treats such Collateral with the same care it affords its own property or if it takes such action for that purpose as any applicable Grantor requests in writing, but failure of the Administrative Agent to comply with any such request shall not, of itself, be deemed a failure to exercise

A-12

reasonable care, and no failure of the Administrative Agent to preserve or protect any rights with respect to such Collateral against prior parties, or to do any act with respect to the preservation of such Collateral not so requested by any Grantor, shall be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of such Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that the cost of obtaining or perfecting a security interest in assets (including Equity Interests) of any Grantor is excessive in relation to the benefit expected to be afforded to the Lenders thereby, then, with respect to such assets, the Grantor shall not be required to comply with the terms and covenants of this Agreement that would otherwise be applicable to such assets.

All notices and requests hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile or electronic transmission) and shall be sent (i) if to the Administrative Agent, to its address shown in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement or such other address as it may, by written notice to the Borrower, have designated as its address for such purpose, and (ii) if to any Grantor, to its address shown on Schedule I hereto or to such other address as such Grantor may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given five Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier shall be deemed to have been given when received.

Upon the execution and delivery by any other Person of a supplement in the form of Annex I hereto, such Person shall become a “Grantor” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party to this Security Agreement and named as a “Grantor” hereunder. The execution and delivery of such supplement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder, and the rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.

No delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Liabilities have been paid in full and all Commitments have terminated (other than any contingent indemnification or similar contingent obligation not yet due and payable). If at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Secured Party to any of the Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by such Secured Party for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor), such Liabilities shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by such Secured Party, and this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Liabilities, all as though such application by such Secured Party had not been made.

A-13

Upon the payment in full of all Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit (other than any contingent indemnification or similar contingent obligation not yet due and payable), the security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantors. Upon any such termination the Administrative Agent will, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. In addition, upon the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by Grantors in compliance with the Credit Agreement for which such Grantor desires to obtain a security interest release from the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall deliver a certificate of an authorized officer (an “Officer’s Certificate”) (x) stating that the Collateral subject to such disposition is being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and (y) specifying the Collateral being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the proposed transaction. Upon the receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, the Administrative Agent shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver such releases of its security interest in such Collateral which is to be so sold, transferred or disposed of, as may be reasonably requested by such Grantor.

This Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York (except to the extent that pursuant to New York law, the perfection, the effect of perfection or nonperfection, or the priority of the security interest granted hereunder may be determined in accordance with the laws of a different jurisdiction). Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

The rights and privileges of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall inure to the benefit of its successors.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. At any time after the date of this Agreement, one or more additional persons or entities may become parties hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a counterpart of this Agreement (including supplements to the Schedules hereto). Immediately upon such execution and delivery (and without any further action), each such additional person or entity will become a party to, and will be bound by all the terms of, this Agreement.

ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE BORROWER, EACH GRANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE BORROWER, EACH GRANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

A-14

IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH OF THE BORROWER, EACH GRANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

If any action or proceeding is filed in a court of the State of California by or against any party hereto in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 to a referee (who shall be a single active or retired judge) to hear and determine all of the issues in such action or proceeding (whether of fact or of law) and to report a statement of decision, provided that at the option of any party to such proceeding, any such issues pertaining to a “provisional remedy” as defined in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.8 shall be heard and determined by the court.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and pursuant to Section 7 of the Security Agreement, the Grantor is required to execute and deliver this Agreement and to grant to the Administrative Agent a continuing security interest in all of the Patent Collateral (as defined below) to secure all Liabilities; and

WHEREAS, the Grantor has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Grantor agrees, for the benefit of each Secured Party, as follows:

(A) Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, terms used in this Agreement, including its preamble and recitals, have the meanings provided in the Security Agreement.

(14) Include if any Grantor other than the Borrower is a party.

A-29

(B) Grant of Security Interest. The Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of each other Secured Party, a continuing security interest in all of the Grantor’s right, title and interest within the United States, whether now or hereafter existing or acquired by the Grantor, in and to the following (“Patent Collateral”):

(i) all letters patent and applications for letters patent in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including all patent applications in preparation for filing, including all reissues, divisionals, continuations, continuations-in-part, extensions, renewals and reexaminations of any of the foregoing (“Patents”), including each Patent and Patent application identified in Item A of Schedule I;
