In the event that any Purchaser defaults or indicates its intent to default in its obligation to purchase all of the Notes under its Commitment hereunder on the Funding Date, such Purchaser shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.21, either (1) Administrative Co-Issuer, by giving written notice to Note Agent and such Purchaser of its election to do so, or (2) Note Agent, by giving written notice to Administrative Co-Issuer and such Purchaser of its election to do so, shall be entitled (but not obligated) (x) to elect to cause such Purchaser (and such Purchaser hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its Commitments in full to one or more Eligible Assignees in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 and (y) to execute and deliver such agreements and documentation on behalf of such Purchaser (and such execution shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.6), and such Purchaser or the Co-Issuers, at its election, shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, however, that (i) in the case of any such election by Administrative Co-Issuer to cause such Commitments to be assigned to any Eligible Assignee referred to in clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof, such Eligible Assignee shall be acceptable to Note Agent, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) in the case of any such election by Note Agent to cause such Commitments to be assigned to any Eligible Assignee referred to in clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof, such Eligible Assignee shall be acceptable to Administrative Co-Issuer, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld. The provisions of the preceding sentence shall not be construed to limit any rights or remedies that the Co-Issuers, the Note Agent or any Purchaser may have against the Defaulting Purchaser under this Agreement or applicable law. Nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Purchaser from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Co-Issuers may have against any Defaulting Purchaser as a result of any default by such Defaulting Purchaser hereunder

or to constitute a waiver of the condition set forth in Section 3.2 that no Purchaser shall be obligated to fund its Commitment on the Funding Date unless all Purchasers fund their respective Commitments on the Funding Date.

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

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

(b) Control of Proceeds Collateral Account. The Proceeds Collateral Account shall be subject to a Third Priority Lien in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Controlling Agent shall maintain exclusive control over the Proceeds Collateral Account at all times. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to clauses (c) and (d) below, (A) Vonage America shall have the right, from time to time but no more frequently than once each calendar month (unless Controlling Agent agrees to greater frequency), to request Controlling Agent to instruct the Proceeds Collateral Bank to transfer to the account specified by Vonage America in such request any interest and earnings on funds held in the Proceeds Collateral Account that have

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

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

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

(ii) To request a Withdrawal, Administrative Co-Issuer shall deliver to Controlling Agent (with a copy to the Note Agent) a fully completed and executed

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

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

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

(d) Conditions to Withdrawals. Each Co-Issuer’s right to request Withdrawals and to have instructions issued to the Proceeds Collateral Bank as contemplated by Section 2.4(c)(iv) are subject to the satisfaction or waiver in accordance with Section 11.5 of the following conditions precedent (and the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.4):

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

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

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

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

2.5 Evidence of Debt; Register; Holders’ Books and Records; Transfer and Exchange of Notes.

(a) Holders’ Evidence of Debt. (i) The Obligations of the Co-Issuers and the Guarantors pursuant hereto shall be evidenced by one or more Notes, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, which are a part of this Agreement. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement required by usage is in a form acceptable to the Co-Issuers). The Co-Issuers shall provide any such notations, legends or endorsements to Note Agent in writing. Each Note shall be dated the date of its issuance. The Notes may, but need not, have the corporate seals of the Co-Issuers or facsimiles thereof affixed thereto or imprinted thereon. In the event of any inconsistency between a Note and the Register, the recordations in the Register shall govern, absent manifest error.

(ii) The terms and provisions contained in the Notes will constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Agreement, and the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors and the Holders, by their execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and be controlling.

(iii) The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Co-Issuers by one Officer of each Co-Issuer. The signature of each such Officer the Notes may be manual or facsimile. Typographic and other minor errors or defects in any such facsimile signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Note. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was, at the time of the execution of the Notes, an Officer of a Co-Issuer shall bind such Co-Issuer, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the execution and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such office at the date of execution of such Notes.

(iv) The Co-Issuers may execute and deliver Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of up to $18,000,000. The Notes shall be issued only in registered form without coupons and shall initially be issued only in denominations of $100,000 in principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes may subsequently be issued or registered in minimum denominations of $1,000 in principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Register. Administrative Co-Issuer shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Holders, the Commitments and the Notes of each Holder from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Note Agent, and a redacted version of the Register showing the entries with respect to any Holder shall be available for inspection by such Holder, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Co-Issuer shall record in the Register the Commitments and the Notes, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Notes, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Note Agent and each Holder, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Purchasers’ Commitments or Co-Issuers’ Obligations in respect of any Note. Within three Business Days after the registration of the transfer or exchange of any Note pursuant to Section 2.5(c), Administrative Co-Issuer shall promptly notify Note Agent of such transfer and provide Note Agent with a copy of the updated Register reflecting such transfer or exchange together with such administrative details, tax forms and other information that Note Agent may reasonably request. Co-Issuers hereby designate Administrative Co-Issuer to serve as Co-Issuers’ agent for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.5. Administrative Co-Issuer shall not be required to make registrations of transfer or exchange of Notes during any periods designated in the text of the Notes or in this Agreement as periods during which such registration of transfers and exchanges need not be made.

(c) Transfer and Exchange of Notes. When Notes are presented to Administrative Co-Issuer with a request to register the transfer of such Notes or to exchange such Notes for an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, Administrative Co-Issuer shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(i) shall be accompanied by a Assignment Agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto, duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(ii) are being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to clause (x), (y) or (z) below, and are accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(x) if such Notes are being delivered to Administrative Co-Issuer by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or

(y) if such Notes are being transferred to one of the Co-Issuers, a certification to that effect (in the form set forth in Exhibit E); or

(z) if such Notes are being transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, (i) a certification (in the form set forth in Exhibit E, if applicable) that such Note is being transferred to either (A) an “accredited investor” (pursuant to Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Notes or (B) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) and (ii) if such transfer relates to Notes with an aggregate principal amount of less than $100,000 and Administrative Co-Issuer so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to them or it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend.

As used in this Section 2.5(c), the term “transfer” includes any sale, pledge, transfer, loan, hypothecation or other disposition of any Note. Administrative Co-Issuer shall not be required to accept for registration of transfer or exchange any Note if the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(c) are not complied with. In addition to any other assignment or transfer permitted pursuant to this Section 2.5(c), any Holder may pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Notes and the other Obligations owed to such Holder to secure obligations of such Holder, including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Holder, as between Co-Issuers and such Holder, shall be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Holder” or be entitled to require the assigning Holder to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

Subject to the requirements of this Section 2.5(c), upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to Administrative Co-Issuer duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of Administrative Co-Issuer, the Co-Issuers shall execute and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. The Co-Issuers shall not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Co-Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Notes from the Holder requesting such transfer or exchange. At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to Administrative Co-Issuer duly executed by the Holder or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of Administrative Co-Issuer. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Co-Issuers shall execute and deliver the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

(d) Actions of Holders Binding. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any such action taken by a Holder shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

(e) Legend. Notes shall bear a legend relating to the restrictions on transfer imposed on such Notes by the laws set forth on the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit B setting forth such restrictions (collectively, the “Legend”), and such Notes shall be subject to such transfer restrictions. If Notes are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Legends, the Notes so issued shall bear the Legend. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the sale of such Note pursuant to a registration statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Co-Issuers may execute and deliver a Note that does not bear the Legend. The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the transferability of any Note shall cease and terminate upon removal of the Legend. If the Legend is removed from the face of a Note and the Note is subsequently held by the Co-Issuers or an Affiliate (which, for purposes of this sentence, shall not give effect to the last sentence of the definition of “Affiliate”) of the Co-Issuers, the Legend shall be reinstated.

(f) Replacement Notes. If (i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to Administrative Co-Issuer, or (ii) the Co-Issuers and Administrative Co-Issuer receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and there is delivered to the Co-Issuers and Administrative Co-Issuer such Note and/or indemnity as may be required by Co-Issuers to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Co-Issuers that such Note has been acquired by a bonafide purchaser, the Co-Issuers shall execute and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Note or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Co-Issuers in their discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay or purchase such Note, as the case may be. Upon the issuance of any new Notes under this Section 2.5(f), the Co-Issuers may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of Note Agent, if any) connected therewith. Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.5(f) in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an additional obligation of the Co-Issuers and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section 2.5(f) are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

(g) Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes executed and delivered by the Co-Issuers, except for those cancelled by them, those delivered to them for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.5(g) as not outstanding. A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any of them holds the Note; provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have given or concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other act hereunder, Notes owned by the Credit Parties, a Subsidiary of the Credit Parties or an Affiliated Holder or any other obligor upon the Notes shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether Note Agent shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, only Notes which a Responsible Officer of Note Agent actually knows to be so owned shall be

so disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Notes outstanding at the time of such determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation, determinations pursuant to Section 11.5). If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.5(f), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Co-Issuers receive proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bonafide purchaser. If Note Agent holds, in accordance with this Agreement on the Stated Maturity Date, money or Notes, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then from and after such Stated Maturity Date, as the case may be, such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Notes shall cease to accrue. If a Note is converted in accordance with Section 2.11(b) or Section 10, then from and after the Conversion Date, such Note shall cease to be outstanding, and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall cease to accrue and the rights of the Holders therein shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Settlement Shares).

(h) Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, conversion or registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any person other than Administrative Co-Issuer, be delivered to Administrative Co-Issuer and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Co-Issuers may at any time deliver to Administrative Co-Issuer for cancellation any Notes previously executed and delivered hereunder which the Co-Issuers may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by Administrative Co-Issuer. The Co-Issuers may not issue new Notes to replace Notes they have paid or delivered to Administrative Co-Issuer for cancellation other than in connection with registrations of transfer or exchange or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Section 10. No Notes shall be executed in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Notes held by Administrative Co-Issuer shall be disposed of by Administrative Co-Issuer in accordance with Administrative Co-Issuer’s customary procedures.

(i) Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors, Note Agent, Administrative Co-Issuer and any agent of the foregoing may treat the person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal amount of the Note or any portion thereof, or the payment of any Make-Whole Amount in respect thereof, and interest, Additional Amounts or Liquidated Damages thereon, for the purpose of conversion and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none of the Co-Issuers, the Guarantors, Note Agent, Administrative Co-Issuer nor any agent of the foregoing shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(j) CUSIP Numbers. The Co-Issuers may issue the Notes with one or more “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, Note Agent shall use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Co-Issuers shall promptly notify Note Agent of any change in the “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or other similar numbers.

2.6 Interest on Notes.

For each of the interest periods from the date of this Agreement through the interest period ending on October 30, 2011 (the “Initial Interest Periods”), interest (“Initial Interest”) shall accrue on the sum of (x) the principal amount of the Notes plus (y) all Initial Interest that had accrued as of the beginning of such Initial Interest Period, at a rate of 20.00% per annum, compounding on each Interest Payment Date, and may be paid (in whole and not in part) in cash by the Co-Issuers on October 31, 2011. For each of the interest periods after the interest period ending on October 30, 2011 (the “Subsequent Interest Periods”), if the Initial Interest has not been paid in full on October 31, 2011, interest shall accrue on the Initial Interest and any interest accrued thereon, at a rate of 20.00% per annum, compounding on each Interest Payment Date, and shall be payable by the Co-Issuers in cash on the Stated Maturity Date. For each of the Subsequent Interest Periods, if the First Lien Obligations outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement have been Refinanced in full as of the beginning of such Subsequent Interest Period, interest shall accrue at a rate of 20.00% per annum on the principal amount of the Notes and shall be payable by the Co-Issuers in cash, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date. For each of the Subsequent Interest Periods, if the First Lien Obligations outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement have not been Refinanced in full as of the beginning of such Subsequent Interest Period, (i) interest shall accrue at a rate of 14.00% per annum on the principal amount of the Notes and shall be payable by the Co-Issuers in cash, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date, and (ii) interest shall accrue on each Interest Payment Date at a rate of 6.00% per annum on the principal amount of Notes (“Unpaid Subsequent Interest”) and shall be payable by the Co-Issuers on the Stated Maturity Date. For each of the Subsequent Interest Periods, interest (“Accruing Subsequent Interest”) shall accrue at a rate of 20.00% per annum, compounding on each Interest Payment Date, on the sum of (x) the amount of Unpaid Subsequent Interest that had accrued as of the beginning of such Subsequent Interest Period (if any) plus (y) the amount of Accruing Subsequent Interest that had accrued as of the beginning of such Subsequent Interest Period (if any), and shall be payable by the Co-Issuers on the Stated Maturity Date.

Interest on the Notes that is payable on each Interest Payment Date shall accrue for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance and ending on and including the day preceding such Interest Payment Date. The first interest period shall commence on and include the Funding Date and end on and exclude October 31, 2008. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and actual days elapsed. Interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be payable to Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the Close of Business on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such Interest Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. Within two Business Days after each Interest Record Date, Administrative Co-Issuer shall provide to Note Agent a copy of the Register as of such Interest Record Date, together with such other relevant administrative details, tax forms and other information as Note Agent may reasonably request in connection with the payment of the interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

2.7 Representations, Warranties and Agreements of the Purchaser. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with the Co-Issuers, as of, unless otherwise specified, the Effective Date and as of the Funding Date, as follows:

(a) Organization. If such Purchaser is not a natural person, such Purchaser is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted.

(b) Authorization. If such Purchaser is not a natural person, such Purchaser has all requisite corporate, limited liability company, partnership or similar power to enter into this Agreement and to carry out and perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and all corporate, member or partnership action on the part of such Purchaser or its stockholders, members or partners necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been taken.

Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.8 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Note Agent or any Purchaser.

2.9 Fees.

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

(b) The Co-Issuers agree to pay a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) to Note Agent for the ratable account of the Purchasers in an aggregate amount equal to the Commitment Fee Rate multiplied by the aggregate amount of the Note Commitments for the number of days in the period from and including October 10, 2008 up to but excluding the earlier of (i) the Funding Date and (ii) the Outside Date, computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days

elapsed during the period in which they accrue. Except as provided in the next sentence, the Commitment Fee shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Funding Date and (ii) the Outside Date.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Co-Issuers hereby acknowledge that all fees payable to the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.9 are fully earned as of the Funding Date (or, in the case of the Commitment Fee if the Funding Date has not occurred, the Outside Date).

(b) The Credit Parties and their respective Controlled Affiliates have not taken nor will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that has constituted or that would reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Credit Parties in connection with the offering of the Notes (and the related Guaranties).

(c) None of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates have taken or will take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act, in connection with the offering of the Notes (and the related Guaranties).

2.11 Redemption and Mandatory Conversion.

(a) No Repurchase at the Option of the Co-Issuers. The Notes may not be redeemed at the option of the Co-Issuers. To the extent any prepayments of the Notes are made in spite of the foregoing (including, without limitation, as a result of a bankruptcy of one or both of the Co-Issuers or acceleration pursuant to Section 8.1, but excluding any repurchase in a tender offer made in accordance with Section 6.25), the amount to be prepaid shall equal the sum of the Make-Whole Amount and Liquidated Damages for such Notes.

(b) Mandatory Conversion.

(i) On or after the third anniversary of the Funding Date, Holdings may, by written notice (a “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) to Note Agent and to each of the Holders:

(A) Cause the automatic conversion into Common Stock at the then Applicable Conversion Rate, of up to an aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes such that the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding after such conversion is not less than $12,000,000, if the Common Stock has, as of the Trading Day prior to the date the Mandatory Conversion Notice is given, a 30-Day VWAP of greater than $3.00 per share;

(B) Cause the automatic conversion into Common Stock at the then Applicable Conversion Rate, of up to an aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes such that the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding after such conversion is not less than $6,000,000, if the Common Stock has, as of the Trading Day prior to the date the Mandatory Conversion Notice is given, a 30-Day VWAP of greater than $4.50 per share; and

(C) Cause the automatic conversion into Common Stock at the then Applicable Conversion Rate, of up to all of the then-outstanding Notes, if the Common Stock has, as of the Trading Day prior to the date the Mandatory Conversion Notice is given, a 30-Day VWAP of greater than $6.00 per share.

All of the stock prices used in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C) shall be subject to proportional adjustment in a manner similar to the adjustment that would be made to the Applicable Conversion Price from the application of Section 10.4(a) to the Applicable Conversion Rate, as determined reasonably by Note Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holdings may not issue a Mandatory Conversion Notice if (1) another Mandatory Conversion Notice has been given in the preceding 90 days; (2) Holdings, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates purchases or takes call equivalent positions (within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act) with respect to, the Common Stock (or any derivative securities relating thereto) on the open market during the period when the relevant 30-Day VWAP is measured; or (3) any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(ii) The conversion of the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall occur on the 20th Trading Day after the date the Mandatory Conversion Notice is given

to the Holders. The conversion mechanics of Section 10.3 shall apply to the conversion of the Notes pursuant to this Section 2.11(b), except that the “Conversion Date” shall be the 20th Trading Day after the date the Mandatory Conversion Notice is given to the Holders, and the “Conversion Settlement Date” shall be the third Trading Day after the Conversion Date. Holders of Notes shall surrender their Notes for conversion pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) on the Conversion Date; provided, however, that the surrender of a Note for conversion by the Holder thereof shall not be a condition to the automatic conversion of such Note into Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.11(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the mandatory conversion of a Note shall not occur, and the Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be deemed revoked automatically with respect to such Note if, as of the Conversion Settlement Date, (1) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Note are not able to be sold under the Registration Statement, and (2) the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Note are not otherwise able to be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act without limitation as to volume or manner of sale by the holder thereof. The Co-Issuers shall comply with all applicable securities laws in the conversion of Notes pursuant to this Section 2.11(b).

(iii) The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state:

(A) The aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted pursuant to Section 2.11(b);

(B) The aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding;

(C) Which subpart of Section 2.11(b)(i) is being relied upon to entitle Holdings to send out the Mandatory Conversion Notice;

(D) Reasonably detailed price and volume information for the Common Stock and calculations demonstrating that the conditions described in the relevant subpart of Section 2.11(b)(i) have been met;

(E) If not all of the outstanding Notes are to be converted, that each Holder’s pro rata portion of the Notes it holds will be converted;

(F) The date on which the conversion will occur;

(G) The Applicable Conversion Rate then in effect;

(H) The CUSIP, “ISIN” or other similar number(s), if any, as the case may be, of the Notes being converted;

(I) That interest on the Notes to be converted shall cease to accrue from and after the Conversion Date; and

(J) That the Notes to be converted must be surrendered for conversion on or prior to the Conversion Date.

(iv) If Holdings elects to exercise its mandatory conversion right pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) with respect to less than all of the Notes then outstanding, then the Notes of each Holder to be converted shall be selected on a pro rata basis, based on the proportion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes held by such Holder; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of Notes of any Holder to be converted pursuant this Section 2.11(b) shall be rounded down to the nearest integral multiple of $1,000; and provided further, however, that if as a result of such conversion, the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such Holder would be less than $1,000, such Holder’s Notes shall be converted in full.

2.14 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) The Co-Issuers shall make all payments in respect of the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes or pursuant to this Agreement. All payments made by Co-Issuers of principal, interest, the Make-Whole Amount, Liquidated Damages, Additional Amounts (other than Additional Amounts payable under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to shares of Common Stock, which shall be paid to the record holder thereof), fees and other Obligations payable in cash shall be made in Dollars in same-day funds, without, recoupment, setoff, counterclaim or other defense free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Note Agent (provided that any payments made pursuant to Section 10.3(b) shall be made to the relevant Holder and not to Note Agent) not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due to Note Agent’s Account for the account of Holders or Note Agent, as applicable; funds received by Note Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Co-Issuers on the next Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Note shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest and Additional Amounts (if any) accrued on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid and any Make-Whole Amount and Liquidated Damages, as applicable, payable in connection therewith.

(c) Note Agent shall promptly distribute to each Holder at such address as such Holder shall indicate in writing, such Holder’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Note Agent. Within three Business Days after each Interest Record Date, Administrative Co-Issuer shall provide to Note Agent a copy of the Register as of such Interest Record Date, together with such other relevant administrative details, tax forms and other information as Note Agent may reasonably request in connection with the payment of the interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date.

(d) If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity Date, Conversion Settlement Date or other date when payment is required to be made under this Agreement falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then the required payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date that the payment was due, and no additional interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after the Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity Date, Conversion Settlement Date or other payment date, as the case may be, to that next succeeding Business Day.

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

(f) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived and any remedy shall have been exercised pursuant to Section 8, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations shall be applied first, to pay any costs and expenses then due Collateral Agent in connection with the foreclosure or realization upon, the disposal, storage, maintenance or otherwise dealing with any of, the Collateral or otherwise, and indemnities and other amounts then due to Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents until paid in full, second, to pay any costs, expenses, indemnities, fees or premiums then due to Note Agent under the Credit Documents until paid in full, third, ratably to pay any expenses or indemnities then due to any of the Holders under the Credit Documents, until paid in full, fourth, ratably to pay interest and Additional Amounts (if any) due in respect of the Notes until paid in full, and fifth, ratably to pay any Make-Whole Amount and Liquidated Damages then due to the Holders under the Credit Documents until paid in full.

2.15 Ratable Sharing. Holders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Notes made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Holder hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Holder) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Holder in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Holder, then the Holder receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (A) notify Note Agent and each other Holder of the receipt of such payment and (B) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the

Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Holders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Holders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, (x) if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Holder is thereafter recovered from such Holder upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Co-Issuer or otherwise, those purchases to that extent shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Holder ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (y) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Co-Issuers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Holder from any transferee, assignee or participant as consideration for the transfer, assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Notes to such transferee, assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or any Subsidiaries thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall apply). Co-Issuers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agree that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by any Co-Issuer to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.16 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.17 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Holder shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Holder with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Holder (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the Overall Net Income of such Holder) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Holder (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Holder; or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Holder (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Holder of agreeing to purchase or hold Notes hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Holder (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Co-Issuers shall promptly pay to such Holder, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Holder in its sole discretion

shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Holder for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Holder shall deliver to Administrative Co-Issuer (with a copy to Note Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Holder under this Section 2.17(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the above, the Co-Issuer shall not be required to compensate such Holder for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Holder notifies the relevant Co-Issuer of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided, that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Holder shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability after the Effective Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Holder (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Holder or any corporation controlling such Holder as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Holder’s Commitments, Notes or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Notes to a level below that which such Holder or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Holder or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Administrative Co-Issuer from such Holder of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Co-Issuers shall pay to such Holder such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Holder or such controlling corporation on an after tax basis for such reduction. Such Holder shall deliver to Administrative Co-Issuer (with a copy to Note Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Holder under this Section 2.17(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

2.18 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

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

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Administrative Co-Issuer shall notify Note Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as reasonably practicable after

the relevant Co-Issuer becomes aware of it; (ii) the relevant Credit Party shall pay such Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority before the date on which penalties attach thereto; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction or withholding is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after any such deduction or withholding, Note Agent or such Holder, as the case may be, and each of their Tax Related Persons receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after making any such deduction or withholding, the Administrative Co-Issuer shall deliver to Note Agent evidence satisfactory to Note Agent of such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

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

(d) Indemnification. The Credit Parties shall indemnify each Agent and each Holder, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes paid or incurred by such Agent or such Holder or their respective Tax Related Persons, as the case may be, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with any Credit Document or any payment or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the provisions of this Section 2.18; provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall not be required to indemnify the Agents and Holders for (i) any Taxes that would be excluded from a gross-up under Section 2.18(b), (ii) in duplication of Taxes covered by Section 2.18(b) or (c) or (iii) Taxes on the Overall Net Income, other than in the case of (A) any matters addressed in Section 2.18(c) and any indemnification thereof and (B) any payments of expenses and costs made pursuant to this Section 2.18(d)(iii)(A), in which instances any such indemnification shall be made on an after-Tax basis, such that after all required deductions and payments of all Taxes (including Taxes on the Overall Net Income applicable to amounts covered by this Section 2.18(d)(iii)(A) or (B), the Agents, the Holders and each of their respective Tax Related Persons receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had it not paid or incurred or been subject to such Taxes or expenses and costs. A certificate from the relevant Holder or Agent, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such Taxes, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Each Agent and each Holder hereby agrees to cooperate with the Administrative Co-Issuer in taking such actions as may be reasonably requested of it to pursue from the relevant Governmental Authority all available means for obtaining a refund for the benefit of the Administrative Co-Issuer of any Taxes that have been the subject of an indemnification payment hereunder; provided, that (i) the Administrative Co-Issuer has agreed in writing to pay all of such Agent’s or such Holder’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to such claim, (ii) such Agent or such Holder determines, in its good faith judgment, that it would not be disadvantaged, unduly burdened, or prejudiced as a result of such actions and (iii) the Administrative Co-Issuer furnishes, upon request of such Agent or such Holder, an opinion of tax counsel (such opinion and such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to such Agent or such Holder) to the effect that such Taxes were wrongly or illegally imposed.

(e) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Holder that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Holder”) shall deliver to Note Agent for transmission to Administrative Co-Issuer, on or prior to the Effective Date (in the case of each Holder listed on the signature pages hereof on the Effective Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Holder (in the case of each other Holder), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Administrative Co-Issuer or Note Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Holder, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Co-Issuer if such forms or documentation would establish that any payments to such Holder of principal, interest, fees or other amounts under any of the Credit Documents are not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax or are subject to deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, or (ii) if such Holder is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Holder, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Administrative Co-Issuer if such forms, certificates or documentation would establish that such Holder is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Holder of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents. Each Holder required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.18(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Holder of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Holder shall promptly deliver to Note Agent for transmission to Administrative Co-Issuer two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Holder, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Administrative Co-Issuer if such forms, certificates or other evidence would confirm or establish that such Holder is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Holder under the Credit Documents or is subject to deduction or withholding at a reduced rate, or notify Note Agent and Co-Issuer of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Co-Issuers shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-U.S. Holder under Section 2.18(b) if such Holder shall have failed to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the second sentence of this Section 2.18(e) that it is legally entitled to deliver and that would have confirmed or established that such Holder is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Holder under the Credit Documents or is subject to deduction or withholding at a reduced rate; provided, if such Holder shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.18(e) on the Effective Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Holder, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.18(e) shall relieve Co-Issuers of their obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.18 in the event that, as a result of any change in any

applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Holder is no longer entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Holder is not subject to withholding as described herein. Nothing in this Section 2.18 shall be construed to require a Holder or Agent to provide any forms or documentation that it is not legally entitled to provide.

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

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

rights and remedies against a Defaulting Purchaser under this Section 2.20 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Co-Issuers may have against such Defaulting Purchaser with respect to any Funding Default and which Note Agent or any Purchaser may have against such Defaulting Purchaser with respect to any Funding Default.

2.21 Removal or Replacement of a Holder. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Holder (an “Increased Cost Holder”) shall give notice to Administrative Co-Issuer that such Holder is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.17 or 2.18, (ii) the circumstances which entitle such Holder to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Holder shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Administrative Co-Issuer’s request for such withdrawal; (b) (i) any Purchaser shall become a Defaulting Purchaser, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Purchaser shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Purchaser shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Purchaser within five Business Days after Administrative Co-Issuer’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 11.5(b), the consent of Note Agent and Requisite Holders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Holder (each a “Non-Consenting Holder”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Holder, Defaulting Purchaser or Non-Consenting Holder (the “Terminated Holder”), Note Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) (which, in the case of an Increased Cost Holder, only after receiving written request from Administrative Co-Issuer to remove such Increased Cost Holder (which notice may not be given by the Administrative Co-Issuer if any Default or Event of Default is then continuing)), by giving written notice to Administrative Co-Issuer and any Terminated Holder of its election to do so, (x) to elect to cause such Terminated Holder (and such Terminated Holder hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Notes and its Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Holder”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 and (y) to execute and deliver such agreements and documentation on behalf of such Terminated Holder (and the execution thereof by Note Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.6) and the Terminated Holder shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Holder shall pay to Terminated Holder an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Notes of the Terminated Holder and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Holder pursuant to Section 2.9; (2) on the date of such assignment, Co-Issuers shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Holder pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18; and (3) in the event such Terminated Holder is a Non-Consenting Holder, each Replacement Holder shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Holder was a Non-Consenting Holder. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Holder and the assumption by the Replacement Holder of such Terminated Holder’s Commitment, if any, such Terminated Holder shall no longer constitute a “Holder” or “Purchaser” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Holder to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Holder. Each Replacement Holder shall cure any existing Funding Default of the applicable Defaulting Purchaser.

2.22 Joint and Several Liability of Co-Issuers.

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

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

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

(d) Each of the Co-Issuers agrees that the Obligations of such Co-Issuer under the provisions of this Section 2.22 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Co-Issuer enforceable against each Co-Issuer to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Co-Issuer hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Note Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Holder under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement). Each Co-Issuer hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Note Agent, Collateral Agent or any Holder at any time or times in respect of any default by any Co-Issuer in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Note Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Co-Issuer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Co-Issuer assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of Note Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Holder with respect to the failure by any Co-Issuer to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.22, afford

grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Co-Issuer, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.22, it being the intention of each Co-Issuer that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Co-Issuer under this Section 2.22 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Co-Issuer under this Section 2.22 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Co-Issuer or Note Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Holder.

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

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

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

(i) Note Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders may collect from such Co-Issuer without first foreclosing on the Collateral pledged by Co-Issuers.

(ii) If either Note Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Holder forecloses on any Collateral pledged by Co-Issuers:

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

(2) Note Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders may collect from such Co-Issuer even if Note Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Holder, by foreclosing on the Collateral, has destroyed any right such Co-Issuer may have to collect from the other Co-Issuers.

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

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

(j) Each Co-Issuer hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Co-Issuer with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, any payments made by it to Note Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Holder with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Co-Issuer may have against any other Co-Issuer with respect to any payments to Note Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Holder hereunder or under any other Credit Documents is hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Co-Issuer, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Co-Issuer therefor.

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

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

The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, the First Lien Credit Documents and the Second Lien Credit Documents do not and, assuming that their performance were to occur on the date hereof, will not (A) violate any provision of (i) any material law or any governmental rule or regulation applicable to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any of the Organizational Documents of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any material order, judgment or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; (B) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any material Contractual Obligation of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; (C) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Liens created under any of the Credit Documents in favor of Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations); (D) result in any default, noncompliance, suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to its operations or any of its properties or (E) require any approval of stockholders, members or partners or any approval or consent of any Person under any material Contractual Obligation of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, except for such approvals or consents which will be obtained on or before the Effective Date and disclosed in writing to Purchasers.

Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the execution, delivery and performance by each of the Credit Parties of the Credit Documents to which they are parties and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, the First Lien Credit Documents and the Second Lien Credit Documents do not and, assuming that their performance were to occur on the date hereof, will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, (i) any Governmental Authority except for (A) filings and recordings with respect to the Collateral to be made, or otherwise delivered to Collateral Agent for filing and/or recordation and (B) filings, registrations, consents and other Governmental Authorizations that are contemplated to be obtained under the Registration Rights Agreement in connection with the registration, offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted Securities, or (ii) any commercial vendor, as of the Effective Date.

4.6 Binding Obligation. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability (whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law) and except that the indemnification provisions thereof relating to liabilities under the federal securities laws may be unenforceable.

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

For the avoidance of any doubt, it is understood that the information contained in the Historical Financial

Statements delivered by Holdings to Note Agent on or before September 15, 2008 shall not, in and of itself, form the basis for a determination by Note Agent or any Holder that the representation set forth in this Section 4.9 is not correct.

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

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

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

4.13 Properties.

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

(b) Real Estate. As of the Effective Date, Schedule 4.13 contains a true, accurate and complete list of (i) all Real Estate Assets, and (ii) all leases, subleases or assignments of leases (together with all amendments, modifications, supplements, renewals or extensions of any

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

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

4.14 Environmental Matters. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (i) neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or operations are subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity; (ii) neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law; (iii) there are and, to each of Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which would reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, any predecessor of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and none of Holdings’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260 270 or any state equivalent; (v) compliance with all current requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws would not be reasonably expected to result in increased costs or reduced operations; and (vi) no event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which would reasonably be expected to result in liability of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

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

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

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

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

4.19 Employee Matters. Holdings, its Subsidiaries, and their respective employees, agents and representatives have not committed any material unfair labor practice as defined in the National Labor Relations Act. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has been or is engaged in any unfair labor practice that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been and is (A) no unfair labor practice charge or complaint pending against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of Credit Parties, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board or any other Governmental Authority and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement or similar agreement that is so pending against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge of Credit Parties, threatened against any of them, (B) no labor dispute, strike, lockout, slowdown or work stoppage in existence or threatened against, involving or affecting Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (C) no labor union, labor organization, trade union, works council, or group of employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries has made a pending demand for recognition or certification, and there are no representation or certification proceedings or petitions seeking a representation proceeding presently pending or threatened to be brought or filed with the National Labor Relations Board or any other Governmental Authority, and (D) to the best knowledge of Credit Parties, no union representation question existing with respect to any of the employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of Credit Parties, no labor union organizing activity with respect to any employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (A), (B), (C), or (D) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.20 Employee Benefit Plans. Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which has caused or would reasonably be expected to cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments) has been or is expected to be incurred by Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Pension Plan. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their ERISA Affiliates has engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction described in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.20, no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.20, and except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, or otherwise funded entirely by the participants thereof, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates.

be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) comply at all times with the provisions of all material leases to which it is a party as lessee or under which it occupies property, so as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5 Insurance. The Credit Parties will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, (i) business interruption insurance reasonably satisfactory to the Note Agent (it being understood that the business interruption insurance set forth on Schedule 4.27 is satisfactory to the Note Agent), and (ii) casualty insurance, such public liability insurance, third party property damage insurance with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and businesses of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as are customarily carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation of similar size and engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such amounts (giving effect to self insurance which comports with the requirements of this Section and provided that adequate reserves therefor are maintained in accordance with GAAP), with such deductibles, covering such risks and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for such Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Parties will maintain or cause to be maintained (a) flood insurance with respect to each Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, in each case in compliance with any applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and (b) replacement value casualty insurance on the Collateral under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and covering such risks as are at all times carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation of similar size and engaged in similar businesses. Each such policy of insurance shall (i) name Collateral Agent, on behalf of Holders as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear, and (ii) in the case of each property insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent, that names Controlling Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, as the loss payee thereunder and provides for each insurer to endeavor to provide at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Controlling Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy and that no act or default of Holdings or any other Person shall affect the right of Controlling Agent to recover under such policy or policies in case of loss or damage.

5.6 Books and Records; Inspections. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) keep adequate books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries, in all material respects, are made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities and (b) permit any representatives designated by Note Agent (including employees of Note Agent or any consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by Note Agent) (and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, permit any representatives designated by any Holder (including employees of a Holder or any consultants, accountants, lawyers and appraisers retained by a Holder), in each case other than any Affiliated Holder) to visit and inspect any of the properties of any Credit Party and any of its respective Subsidiaries, to inspect, copy and take extracts from its and their financial and accounting records, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with its and their officers and independent accountants, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and no more than twice during any Fiscal Year (or, upon the occurrence and continuance of any

106

Event of Default, as often as Note Agent may reasonably require) and by this provision the Credit Parties authorize such accountants to discuss with Note Agent and (and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default any Holder (other than any Affiliated Holder)) and such representatives the affairs, finances and accounts of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. The Credit Parties acknowledge that Note Agent, after exercising its rights of inspection, may prepare and distribute to the Holders certain reports pertaining to the Credit Parties’ assets for internal use by Note Agent and the Holders (whether before, during or after an Event of Default); provided, that Note Agent shall have no obligation to distribute any such report to any Affiliated Holder. After the occurrence and during the continuance of (i) any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1(a), (ii) any Event of Default pursuant to 8.1(c) that results from any failure to be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.7 or (iii) the exercise of any remedy pursuant to Section 8 after the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, if Note Agent determines that it is reasonably necessary in connection therewith, each Credit Party shall cooperate with Note Agent to arrange for Note Agent, with prior written notice to such Credit Party, to contact its suppliers (including service providers and business partners).

5.7 Holders’ Meetings. Co-Issuers will, upon the request of Note Agent or Requisite Holders (other than Affiliated Holders), participate in a meeting of Note Agent and Holders (other than Affiliated Holders) once during each Fiscal Year to be held at Holdings’ corporate offices (or at such other location as may be agreed to by Holdings and Note Agent) at such time as may be agreed to by Holdings and Note Agent.

5.8 Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party will comply, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and all other Persons, if any, on or occupying any Facilities to comply, with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including all Environmental Laws), except where noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party shall take all reasonable and necessary actions to ensure that no portion of the proceeds of the Notes will be used, disbursed or distributed for any purpose, or to any Person, directly or indirectly, in violation of any of the Terrorism Laws and shall take all reasonable and necessary action to comply in all material respects with all Terrorism Laws with respect thereto.

5.9 Environmental.

(a) Environmental Disclosure. Holdings will deliver to Note Agent and Holders:

(i) as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, copies of all environmental audits, investigations, analyses and reports in the possession of Holdings, of any kind or character, whether prepared by personnel of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or by independent consultants, governmental authorities or any other Persons, with respect to significant environmental matters at any Facility or with respect to any material Environmental Claims;

(ii) promptly upon the occurrence thereof, written notice describing in reasonable detail (1) any Release required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency under any applicable Environmental Laws, (2) any

107

remedial action taken by Holdings or any other Person in response to (A) any Hazardous Materials Activities the existence of which has a reasonable possibility of resulting in one or more Environmental Claims having, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) any Environmental Claims that, individually or in the aggregate, have a reasonable possibility of resulting in a Material Adverse Effect, and (3) Holdings’ discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of any Facility that could cause such Facility or any part thereof to be subject to any material restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any Environmental Laws;

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

(iv) prompt written notice describing in reasonable detail (1) any proposed acquisition of stock, assets, or property by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to (A) expose Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Claims that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (B) affect the ability of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to maintain in full force and effect all material Governmental Authorizations required under any Environmental Laws for their respective operations and (2) any proposed action to be taken by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to modify current operations in a manner that would reasonably be expected to subject Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to any additional material obligations or requirements under any Environmental Laws.

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

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

108

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

(ii) Any observations, tests or investigations of the Facilities by or on behalf of Note Agent shall be solely for the purpose of protecting the Holders’ security interests and rights under the Credit Documents. The exercise of Note Agent’s rights under this Subsection (c) shall not constitute a waiver of any default of any Credit Party or impose any liability on Note Agent or any of the Holders. In no event will any observation, test or investigation by or on behalf of Note Agent be a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on or under any of the Facilities, or that there has been or will be compliance with any Environmental Law and Note Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty to any party regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of any report or findings with regard thereto. Neither any Credit Party nor any other party is entitled to rely on any observation, test or investigation by or on behalf of Note Agent. Note Agent and the Holders owe no duty of care to protect any Credit Party or any other party against, or to inform any Credit Party or any other party of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse condition affecting any of the Facilities; provided, that the failure of Note Agent to so protect or inform any Credit Party or any other party shall not result in any liability to Note Agent except to the extent such liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Note Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Note Agent may, in its sole discretion, disclose to the applicable Credit Party, or to any other party if so required by law, any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, its observations, tests or investigations. If a request is made of Note Agent by any Governmental Authority to disclose any such report or finding that is non-public to any third party (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Holder by such Governmental Authority), then, unless specifically prohibited by Environmental Law, Note Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Credit Party prior to such disclosure and afford such Credit Party the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure at its own and sole cost; provided, that the failure of Note Agent to give any such notice or afford such Credit Party the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure

109

shall not result in any liability to Note Agent except to the extent such liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Note Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Credit Party acknowledges that it may be obligated to notify relevant Governmental Authorities regarding the results of any observation, test or investigation disclosed to such Credit Party, and that such reporting requirements are site and fact-specific and are to be evaluated by such Credit Party without advice or assistance from Note Agent.

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

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

5.11 Additional Material Real Estate Assets. In the event that any Credit Party acquires a Material Real Estate Asset after the Effective Date or a Real Estate Asset owned or leased on the Effective Date becomes a Material Real Estate Asset and such interest has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, then such Credit Party, contemporaneously with acquiring such Material Real Estate Asset, or promptly after a Real Estate Asset owned or leased on the Effective

110

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

5.12 Interest Rate Protection. Holdings shall comply with Section 5.12 of the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement, each as in effect as of the Effective Date (or the substantially equivalent provision in any successor or amendment to either such agreement).

5.13 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time upon the reasonable request of Note Agent, each Credit Party will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as Note Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of the Credit Documents (other than the Registration Rights Agreement), including providing Holders with any information reasonably requested pursuant to Section 11.22. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Credit Party shall take such actions as Note Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guarantied by the Guarantors and are secured by substantially all of the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries and all of the outstanding Capital Stock of Holdings’ Subsidiaries (subject to limitations contained in the Credit Documents with respect to Foreign Subsidiaries) and shall give Collateral Agent prompt written notice of its acquisition of any asset or assets with a value in excess of $250,000 to the extent that Collateral Agent’s security interest therein to secure the Obligations will not be perfected by the UCC filings or other documents currently in effect at such time.

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

111

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

5.16 Certain Provisions Relating to the Concentration Account.

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

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

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Controlling Agent shall have exclusive control over the Concentration Account and may apply any and all amounts on deposit in the Concentration Account to prepay the Notes and to pay any other Obligation in any order or manner as Note Agent may deem advisable. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and subject to the prior payment of the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Controlling Agent may apply any and all amounts on deposit in the Proceeds Collateral Account to prepay the Obligations in any order or manner as Controlling Agent may deem advisable. No third party shall have any rights in or claims to the Concentration Account, except (i) Permitted Depository Claims or (ii) pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement as provided therein.

112

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

5.17 Source Code Escrow Arrangements. Holdings shall comply with Section 5.17 of the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement (or the substantially equivalent provision in any successor or amendment to either such agreement)

113

(g) All network equipment and patents (other than with respect to the Sprint patent that is owned by Vonage America as of the date of this Agreement), including all related operation contracts shall be owned by VN, or a wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary thereof that is a Guarantor.

5.19 Intercompany Arrangements.

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

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

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

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

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

Not later than the Close of Business on the sixth Business Day prior to November 3, 2008, Holdings shall remove any financing condition to the Tender Offer and file with the SEC an amendment to its Statement on Schedule TO relating to the Tender Offer, to the effect that such financing condition has been removed. Holdings shall allow the Tender Offer to expire on or prior to the Funding Date. Holdings shall accept and pay for all Tendered Notes on the Funding Date using funds that have been deposited into the Proceeds Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.4 of this Agreement or, to the extent provided in Section 2.4(e) of this Agreement, into the Tender Offer Account.

5.26 Ratings. In the event Holdings at any time obtains ratings from either Xxxxx’x or S&P for the Notes, Holdings shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such ratings for so long as rating agents are in the business of rating loans and securities of a type similar to the Notes (it being acknowledged and agreed that Holdings shall not be required to maintain any minimum credit ratings).

In the event that any such material breach constitutes an activity prohibited by any restrictive covenant contained in the Citron Employment Agreement or Lefar Employment Agreement, as appropriate, Holdings shall also seek a temporary restraining order or a preliminary or permanent injunction, or both, without bond or other security, restraining the breaching party from engaging in such activity, or such other relief as may be required specifically to enforce the applicable restrictive covenant.

SECTION 7. GUARANTY

7.1 Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Note Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all

139

Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

7.2 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (A) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by, (B) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of foreign or domestic, federal or state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2.

7.3 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Co-Issuers to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Note Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount

140

equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Co-Issuers’ becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Co-Issuer for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

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

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

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

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

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

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (it being understood that no such renewal, extension, acceleration, increase or other change relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be effective, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement); (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or

141

subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement (including the Collateral Documents), including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Co-Issuer or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which any Co-Issuer may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

142

7.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby, to the fullest extent it may legally do so, waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (A) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Co-Issuer, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Co-Issuer, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of any Co-Issuer or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (B) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Co-Issuer or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Co-Issuer or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (C) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (D) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Co-Issuer and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

7.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Co-Issuer or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Co-Issuer with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any Co-Issuer, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor shall withhold

143

exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any Co-Issuer or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against any Co-Issuer, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Note Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Note Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

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

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

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

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

144

7.11 Bankruptcy, etc.

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

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

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Co-Issuer, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

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

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

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

145

(c) Notice of Default. Note Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to Events of Default in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Note Agent for the account of the Holders, unless Note Agent shall have received written notice from a Holder or Administrative Co-Issuer referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Note Agent will notify the Holders of its receipt of any such notice. Note Agent shall take such action with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Requisite Holders in accordance with Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until Note Agent has received any such direction, Note Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Holders.

9.4 Agents Entitled to Act as Holder. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Holder hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Notes, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Holder and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Holder” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Holdings or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Co-Issuers for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Holders.

9.5 Holders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment. Each Holder represents and warrants to the Agents that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, without reliance upon any Agent or any other Holder and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries.

152

Holder with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Notes or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Holders.

9.6 Right to Indemnity. Each Holder, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, its Affiliates and its respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees, representatives and agents (each, an “Indemnitee Agent Party”), to the extent that such Indemnitee Agent Party shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee Agent Party in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AGENT; provided, no Holder shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order.

9.7 Successor Note Agent.

(a) Note Agent and Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Holders and Administrative Co-Issuer. Upon any such notice of resignation, Requisite Holders shall have the right (subject to the consent of the Administrative Co-Issuer (not to be unreasonably withheld) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would have been continuing but for a forbearance agreement or waiver that is not permanent being in effect), upon five Business Days’ notice to Administrative Co-Issuer, to appoint a successor Note Agent and Collateral Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Holders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Note Agent and Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Note Agent and Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Holders (subject to the consent of the Administrative Co-Issuer (not to be unreasonably withheld) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would have been continuing but for a forbearance agreement or waiver that is not permanent being in effect), appoint a successor Note Agent and Collateral Agent from

153

After any retiring Note Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Note Agent and Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Note Agent hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Note Agent may assign its rights and duties as Note Agent hereunder to an Affiliate of a Silver Point Party or to any Holder without the prior written consent of, or prior written notice to, Administrative Co-Issuer or the Holders; provided that Co-Issuers and the Holders may deem and treat such assigning Note Agent as Note Agent for all purposes hereof, unless and until such assigning Note Agent provides written notice to Administrative Co-Issuer and the Holders of such assignment. Upon such assignment such Affiliate or Holder shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Note Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

(c) Delegation of Duties. Note Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Note Agent. Note Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of Section 9.3 and Section 9.6 shall apply to any the Affiliates of Note 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 Note Agent. All of the rights, benefits and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of Section 9.3 and of Section 9.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by Note Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights, benefits and privileges of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Holders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Note Agent and not to any Credit Party, Holder or any other Person and no Credit Party, Holder or any other Person shall have the rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

154

9.8 Collateral Documents and Guaranty.

(a) Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Holder hereby further irrevocably authorizes Note Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Holders, to be the agent for and representative of Holders with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to Section 11.5, without further written consent or authorization from Holders, Note Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted hereby or to which Requisite Holders (or such other Holders as may be required to give such consent under Section 11.5) have otherwise consented, (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Requisite Holders (or such other Holders as may be required to give such consent under Section 11.5) have otherwise consented or (iii) release the UK Collateral Documents if the UK Subsidiary Deaccession Date shall have occurred.

9.9 Posting of Approved Electronic Communications.

(a) Delivery of Communications. Each Credit Party hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by Note Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by Note Agent to such Credit Party that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to Note Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to Note Agent or to the Holders pursuant to the Credit Documents, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Funding Notice, (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Note or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the

In addition, each Credit Party agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to Note Agent or the Holders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Credit Documents but only to the extent requested by Note Agent.

(b) Platform. Each Credit Party further agrees that Note Agent may make the Communications available to the Holders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that certain of the Holders may be “public-side” Holders (i.e., Holders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to any Credit Party or its securities) (each, a “Public Holder”). Each Credit Party agrees to make each Communication that such Credit Party does not intend to be made available to Public Holders clearly and conspicuously designated by such Credit Party as “PRIVATE” on both the Communication itself and on the electronic message pursuant to which such Communication is transmitted to Note Agent. Each Credit Party authorizes each Communication (except any Communication that is designated as “PRIVATE” in the manner provided in the preceding sentence) to be made available to a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor,” and acknowledges that such information will not be subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 11.18 and will be deemed by the Holders to be information that is either publicly available or not material information (though it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Credit Parties and their securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws.

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

(d) Delivery Via Platform. Note Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by Note Agent at its electronic mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to Note Agent for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Holder agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the

156

Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Holder for purposes of the Credit Documents. Each Holder agrees to notify Note Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Holder’s electronic mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such electronic mail address.

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

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

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

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

(c) any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to Note Agent and, in the event that Note Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to Note Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Note Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Note Agent and other agents hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Note Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Holders or to authorize Note Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. Further, nothing contained in this Section 9.10 shall affect or preclude the ability of any Holder to (i) file and prove such a claim in the event that Note Agent has not acted within ten (10) days prior to any applicable bar date and (ii) require an amendment of the proof of claim to accurately reflect such Holder’s outstanding Obligations.

Each Holder acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any arranger in deciding to enter into this Agreement and each other Credit Document to which it is a party or in taking or not taking action hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 10. CONVERSION

10.1 Conversion Privilege; Applicable Conversion Rate; Fractional Shares. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 10, a Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note by notice at the office of the Administrative Co-Issuer prior to the Close of Business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity Date into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share) of Common Stock (the “Settlement Shares”) at a rate (the “Applicable Conversion Rate”) equal to 3,448.2759 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that the conversion privilege granted pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall survive any bankruptcy, insolvency or acceleration of maturity of the Notes. The Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 10.4 hereof, but shall not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest or Additional Amounts, if any.

The Co-Issuers shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock in connection with any conversion of Notes, but instead shall make a cash payment (calculated to the nearest cent) equal to such fraction multiplied by the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the third Trading Day before the Conversion Settlement Date.

10.2 Conversion Rights Upon Occurrence of Fundamental Change. Within three Business Days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Co-Issuers shall provide a Notice of Occurrence of Fundamental Change (substantially in the form of Exhibit Q) to Note Agent and to each Holder (and to beneficial owners if required by applicable law). On the date of mailing such Notice, the Co-Issuers will issue a press release. Such Notice shall state:

(A) briefly, the events causing a Fundamental Change and the date of such Fundamental Change;

(B) the name and address of Note Agent;

(C) briefly, the conversion rights, if any, that exist on the Notes at the date of the Co-Issuer Notice and as a result of such Fundamental Change;

(D) the Applicable Conversion Rate and the number of Additional Shares to which the Holder would be entitled per $1,000 of Notes upon conversion; and

(E) the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar number(s), if any, as the case may be, of the Notes.

158

In the event that a Fundamental Change is announced prior to the Stated Maturity Date and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Fundamental Change (regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated due to an Event of Default), the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be permanently increased to effect the delivery of an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described below.

The number of Additional Shares to be added to the Applicable Conversion Rate as described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be determined by reference to the formula contained in Exhibit R hereto, based on the effective date of such Fundamental Change transaction and the Stock Price paid in connection with such transaction. The “effective date” with respect to a Fundamental Change transaction means the date that such Fundamental Change becomes effective.

The total number of Additional Shares that may be issued in respect of the Notes issued on the Funding Date shall not exceed 62,000,000 (the “Additional Share Maximum”). The number of Additional Shares and Additional Share Maximum shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Applicable Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 10.4.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase in the Applicable Conversion Rate (together with any adjustments to such Applicable Conversion Rate associated with such increase pursuant to Section 10.4) pursuant to this Section 10.2 that resulted from the occurrence of a Fundamental Change as defined in clause (C) of the definition thereof shall be reversed as of the date the Settlement Shares (or other Capital Stock into which the Notes are then convertible in lieu of Common Stock) are listed for trading on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange.

10.3 Conversion Procedure. (a) Before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same, such Holder shall (1) surrender such Note to the Administrative Co-Issuer and give written notice to Administrative Co-Issuer (with a copy to Note Agent) in the form on the reverse of the certificate representing such Note (the “Conversion Notice”) that such Holder elects to convert the same and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted (which shall be equal to or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount) and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock representing the Settlement Shares to be registered, and (2) if the Conversion Date is to occur after an Interest Record Date but prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, pay to Holdings, at the time such Holder gives the Conversion Notice, an amount in cash equal to the amount of interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) payable in cash on such Interest Payment Date on the Notes to be converted.

Before any such conversion, a Holder also shall pay all taxes or duties, if any, as provided in Section 10.7 and any amount payable pursuant to Section 10.3(f).

If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full Settlement Shares that shall be deliverable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

159

(b) Upon conversion, the Co-Issuers shall make a payment to Holders of the Notes being converted with respect to any accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Amounts, if any) up to but not including the Conversion Settlement Date on the Notes converted. All interest payable to Holders of the Notes to be converted shall be paid in cash on the Conversion Settlement Date. No payment shall be made in respect of dividends on the Common Stock with a record date prior to the Conversion Settlement Date.

(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately before the Close of Business on the Business Day (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements of Section 10.3(a) if all such requirements shall have been satisfied by noon (New York City time) on such Business Day, and, in all other cases, the Conversion Date shall be the next succeeding Business Day.

(d) The Co-Issuers shall, on the Conversion Settlement Date, issue, or cause to be issued, and deliver to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates for the number of full Settlement Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled upon conversion. The Co-Issuers shall not be required to deliver certificates for Settlement Shares while the stock transfer books for such stock or the security register are duly closed for any purpose, but certificates for Settlement Shares shall be issued and delivered as soon as practicable after the opening of such books or security register, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Settlement Shares upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Settlement Shares, as of the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Settlement Date.

(e) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Co-Issuers shall execute and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such Holder (subject to the provisions of Section 10.7 hereof), a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.

(f) By delivering to the Holder surrendering any Note or such Holder’s nominee or nominees Settlement Shares, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares, with respect to any Note surrendered for conversion, Co-Issuers shall have satisfied in full their obligation to convert such Note, and upon such delivery, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such Note shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited, and such amounts shall no longer accrue.

10.4 Adjustment of Applicable Conversion Rate. The Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, without duplication, from time to time by Holdings in accordance with this Section 10.4, except that Holdings will not make any adjustment if Holders of Notes are entitled to participate on the relevant distribution or payment date, as a result of holding the Notes, in the transactions described in Section 10.4(b), (d) or (e) below without having to convert their Notes (based on the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the relevant Ex-Dividend Date):

(a) If Holdings, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of Common Stock, or if Holdings effects a share split or share combination, then the Applicable Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

160

where


CR₀	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

CR'	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately on and after such Ex-Dividend Date, or effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable; and

OS'	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, but after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or combination, as applicable.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 10.4(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted, as of the date that is the earlier of (i) the public announcement of the non-payment of the dividend or distribution and (ii) the date that the dividend or distribution was to be paid, to the Applicable Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) If Holdings, at any time or from time to time while any of the Notes are outstanding, issues or sells (i) any Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Common Stock Trading Price or (ii) any Common Stock Equivalents that entitle the Holder thereof to subscribe for, purchase or exercise a conversion or exchange right for, shares of Common Stock at price per share of Common Stock that is less than the Common Stock Trading Price, then, in each case, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where


CR₀	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale;

CR'	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately on and after such issuance or sale;

161


OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance or sale;

X	=	(i) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued (in the case of an issuance or sale of Common Stock) or (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of the Common Stock Equivalents issued or sold (in the case of an issuance or sale of Common Stock Equivalents); and

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable (i) in respect of such shares of Common Stock issued or sold (in the case of an issuance or sale of Common Stock) or (ii) in respect of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of the Common Stock Equivalents issued or sold (in the case of an issuance or sale of Common Stock Equivalents) divided by (B) the Common Stock Trading Price.

To the extent Common Stock Equivalents are not exercised, exchanged or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability, exchangeability or convertibility thereof, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of such expiration date, to the Applicable Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the distribution of such Common Stock Equivalents been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In determining whether any Common Stock Equivalents entitle the Holders to subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a conversion or exchange right for, shares of Common Stock at less than the Common Stock Trading Price, and in determining the aggregate exercise, conversion or exchange price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such Common Stock Equivalents and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Holdings, with the advice of a nationally-recognized valuation or investment advisory firm.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate in respect of any issuance or sale of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents would be required pursuant to this Section 10.4(b) and also pursuant to Section 10.4(c), only the adjustment that results in the higher as-adjusted Applicable Conversion Rate shall be made.

(c) If Holdings, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, issues or sells (i) any Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the Applicable Conversion Price then in effect or (ii) any Common Stock Equivalents that entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for, purchase or exercise a conversion or exchange right for, shares of Common Stock at price per share of Common Stock that is less than the Applicable Conversion Price then in effect, (in each case, such price per share of Common Stock, the “New Issue Price”) then, and in each such case, the Applicable Conversion Rate will be adjusted to equal the “Adjusted Conversion Rate”. For purposes of determining the New Issue Price, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, and the value of such consideration, if other than cash, shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Holdings, with the advice of a nationally-recognized valuation or investment advisory firm.

162

The Adjusted Conversion Rate shall be determined according to the following formula:

where


CR₀	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale;

CR'	=	the Adjusted Conversion Rate;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such issuance or sale;

X	=	(i) the total number of shares of Common Stock issued (in the case of an issuance or sale of Common Stock) or (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of the Common Stock Equivalents issued or sold (in the case of an issuance or sale of Common Stock Equivalents); and

Y	=	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable (i) in respect of such shares of Common Stock issued or sold (in the case of an issuance or sale of Common Stock) or (ii) in respect of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange of the Common Stock Equivalents issued or sold (in the case of an issuance or sale of Common Stock Equivalents) divided by (B) the Applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately preceding such issuance or sale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate in respect of any issuance or sale of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents would be required pursuant to this Section 10.4(c) and also pursuant to Section 10.4(b), only the adjustment that results in the higher as-adjusted Applicable Conversion Rate shall be made.

(d) If Holdings, at any time or from time to time while the Notes are outstanding, distributes shares of any class of Capital Stock of Holdings, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of Holdings to all, or substantially all, holders of its Common Stock, excluding:

(i) dividends or distributions referred to in Section 10.4(a);

(ii) shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents referred to in Section 10.4(b) and Section 10.4(c);

(iii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and

163

(iv) Spin-Offs (as defined below) to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 10.4(d) shall apply;

then the Applicable Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where


CR₀	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR'	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately on and after such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

SP₀	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

FMV	=	the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Holdings) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the earlier of the Record Date or the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit, in each case, that is listed on a national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following and including the effective date of the Spin-Off shall be increased based on the following formula:

where


CR₀	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;

CR'	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;

164


FMV₀	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to Holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; and

MP₀	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off.

An adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph will occur at the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Days following the effective date of any Spin-Off, references within this Section 10.4(d) to “10 Trading Days” shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate.

If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 10.4(d) is declared but not paid or made, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, as of the date that is the earlier of (i) the public announcement of the non-payment of the dividend or distribution and (ii) the date that the dividend or distribution was to have been paid, in which case, the Applicable Conversion Rate will be the Applicable Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

For the purposes of this Section 10.4(d), rights, warrants or options distributed by Holdings to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the capital stock of Holdings (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, warrants or options until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 10.4(d) (and no adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate under this Section 10.4(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 10.4(d). If any such right, warrant or option, including any such existing rights, warrants or options distributed prior to the date of this Agreement, is subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, warrants or options become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights, warrants or options with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, warrants or options without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, warrants or options or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate under this Section 10.4(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, warrants or options which shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final purchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though

165

it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights, warrants or options (assuming such holder had retained such rights, warrants or options), made to all applicable holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, warrants or options which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, warrants or options had not been issued.

(e) If any cash dividend or other distribution is made to all, or substantially all, holders of Common Stock, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where


CR₀	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR'	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately on or after the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

SP₀	=	the Closing Sale Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the earlier of the Record Date and the day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

C	=	the amount in cash per share Holdings distributes to Holders of Common Stock.

An adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate made pursuant to this Section 10.4(e) shall become effective on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 10.4(e) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, as of the date that is the earlier of (i) the public announcement of the non-payment of the dividend or distribution and (ii) the date that the dividend or distribution was to be paid, to the Applicable Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(f) If Holdings or any Subsidiary makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, where the cash and value (which will be, except for the value of traded securities, determined by the Board of Directors of Holdings or such Subsidiary, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence thereof) of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as of immediately after the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the date the tender or exchange offer expires based on the following formula:

166

where


CR₀	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the 10^th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR'	=	the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the 10^th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC	=	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors of Holdings) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS₀	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

OS'	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Trading Day immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange offer); and

SP'	=	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate under this Section 10.4(f) shall occur on the 10^th Trading Day from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references within this Section 10.4(f) to “10 Trading Days” shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer and the Conversion Date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate.

If Holdings is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but Holdings is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Applicable Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange had not been made.

(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.4, no adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate will be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Applicable Conversion Rate. If the adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Applicable Conversion Rate by at least 1%, then the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustments. In addition, the Co-Issuers will make any carry forward adjustments not otherwise effected on every

167

one year anniversary from the original issue date and on the Record Date immediately prior to the Stated Maturity Date of the Notes. Adjustments to the Applicable Conversion Rate will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one-hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., 0.76545 would be rounded up to 0.7655).

(h) The Co-Issuers from time to time may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the Applicable Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 days if the Board of Directors of Holdings shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Co-Issuers, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Applicable Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to this Section 10.4(h) or Section 10.4(i) below, the Co-Issuers shall mail to Holders of record of the Notes a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Applicable Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Applicable Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(i) The Co-Issuers may (but are not required to) make such increases in the Applicable Conversion Rate, in addition to any adjustments required by Section 10.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (h), as the Board of Directors of Holdings considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish income tax to Holders resulting from any dividend or distribution of Capital Stock issuable on conversion of the Notes (or rights to acquire shares) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

(j) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all calculations under this Section 10 shall be made by the Administrative Co-Issuer. No adjustment shall be made for the issuance by Holdings of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 10.4. The Administrative Co-Issuer shall make such calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, such calculations shall be binding on the Holders.

(k) Whenever the Applicable Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Co-Issuers shall promptly file with Note Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Applicable Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of Note Agent shall have received such Officer’s Certificate, Note Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Applicable Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Co-Issuers shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Applicable Conversion Rate, a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate to each Holder at such Holder’s last address appearing on the list of Holders provided for in Section 2.5(b), within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(l) For purposes of this Section 10.4, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of Holdings so long as Holdings does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Holdings, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

168

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, no adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be made:

(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to Holdings’ 2006 Incentive Plan, as in effect on the date of this Agreement(at or above the then current market price at the time of the grant of such shares, options or rights), representing, in the aggregate, not more than 6.0% of the fully-diluted outstanding shares of Common Stock after giving effect to the issuance of the Notes issued on the date of this Agreement;

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options, rights or warrants to purchase those shares, representing, in the aggregate, not more than 10.0% of the fully-diluted outstanding shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the issuance of the Notes issued on the date of this Agreement, (A) pursuant to future employee stock purchase plans (at or above 95.0% of the then current market price at the time of the grant of such shares), (B) pursuant to future employee benefit plans (at or above the then current market price at the time of the grant of such shares, options or rights) or (C) issued in acquisition transactions with respect to businesses reasonably related to the business of Holdings as currently conducted or to vendors, joint venture partners, suppliers, customers in connection with other transactions entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(iii) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(iv) for accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Amounts, if any.

10.5 [Intentionally Omitted].

10.6 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (a) If any of the following events (each, a “Corporate Transaction”) occurs, namely (i) any reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination to which Section 10.4(d) applies or a change in par value) as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property (such property, the “Exchange Property”) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, (ii) any consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or combination of Holdings with another person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Exchange Property with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all the properties and assets of Holdings to any other person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Exchange Property with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, then the Co-Issuers or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall execute with Note Agent a supplemental agreement providing for the conversion and settlement of the Notes as set forth in this Agreement. Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 10. If, in the case of any such Corporate Transaction, the Exchange Property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Corporate Transaction, then such supplemental agreement shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors of Holdings shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

169

(b) Holdings’ obligation to convert Notes following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction shall be satisfied by delivering to Holders surrendering Notes for conversion, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, a settlement amount (the “Settlement Amount”) calculated (as provided in clause (c) below) based on the Exchange Property. In the event holders of the Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such Corporate Transaction, the form of consideration into which all of the Notes, treated as a single class, shall be convertible from and after the effective date of such Corporate Transaction shall be that which is selected by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Such determination shall be made pursuant to Section 11.5 and shall be subject to any limitations to which all of the holders of the Common Stock are subject, such as pro-rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable in such Corporate Transaction and shall be conducted in such a manner as to be completed by the date which is the earliest of (A) the deadline for elections to be made by holders of the Common Stock in connection with such Corporate Transaction, and (B) two Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such Corporate Transaction. The Co-Issuers shall provide notice of the opportunity to determine the form of such consideration, as well as notice of the determination made by Holders of the Notes by issuing a press release and providing a copy of such notice to Note Agent. The Co-Issuers shall not become a party to any such Corporate Transaction unless its terms are consistent with the preceding.

(c) The Settlement Amount in respect of any Notes converted following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction shall equal the product of (x) the Applicable Conversion Rate and (y) the sum of (A) 100% of the value of any Exchange Property consisting of cash received per share of Common Stock, (B) the Daily VWAP for the 10 Trading Days prior to any Exchange Property received per share of Common Stock consisting of securities that are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange, and (C) the Fair Market Value of any other Exchange Property received per share, as determined by an independent nationally recognized valuation firm or investment bank selected by Holdings for this purpose. The Settlement Amount will be delivered in Exchange Property on the Conversion Settlement Date. If the Exchange Property includes more than one kind of property, the amount of Exchange Property of each kind to be delivered shall be in the proportion that the value of the Exchange Property (as calculated pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)) of such kind bears to the value of all such Exchange Property. If the foregoing calculations would require Holdings to deliver a fractional share or unit of Exchange Property to a Holder of Notes being converted, Holdings shall deliver cash in lieu of such fractional share or unit based on the value of the Exchange Property.

(d) The Co-Issuers shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental agreement to be mailed to each Holder of Notes, at its address appearing on the Note register provided for in Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental agreement.

(e) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Corporate Transactions.

170

(f) If this Section 10.6 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 10.4 shall not apply to such event or occurrence.

10.7 Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Notes shall be made without charge to the converting Holder for any tax in respect of the issue thereof, except for applicable withholding, if any. The Co-Issuers shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the Holder or beneficial owner of any Notes converted, and Holdings shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to Holdings the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of Holdings that such tax has been paid or that none is due.

10.8 Reservation of Shares, Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements. (a) Holdings shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock for the conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.

(b) Before (i) taking any action which would cause an adjustment increasing the Applicable Conversion Rate to an amount that would cause the Applicable Conversion Price to be reduced below the then par value, if any, of the Settlement Shares or (ii) taking any action or completing any transaction that would result in Additional Shares being issued upon conversion of the Notes, Holdings shall take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that Holdings may validly and legally issue such Settlement Shares at such adjusted Applicable Conversion Rate or such Additional Shares upon conversion of the Notes (as the case may be).

(c) Each of the Co-Issuers covenants that all Settlement Shares shall upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by Holdings and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(d) Each of the Co-Issuers covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion, Holdings shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

10.9 No New Classes of Common Stock. For as long as any of the Notes are outstanding, Holdings shall not create any other class of common equity and shall not distribute, issue or sell any rights, warrants, convertible securities or options exercisable into shares of any new class of common equity.

10.10 Responsibility of Note Agent. Note Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine the Applicable Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental note purchase agreement provided to be

171

employed, in making the same. Note Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and Note Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Note Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of Holdings to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of Holdings contained in this Section 10. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Note Agent shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental agreement entered into pursuant to Section 10.6 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 10.6 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon the Officer’s Certificate (which Holdings shall be obligated to file with Note Agent prior to the execution of any such supplemental agreement) with respect thereto.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

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

11.2 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Credit Parties agree to pay promptly, and in any event within five (5) days after written demand therefore, (a) the fees, and reasonable expenses and disbursements of counsel to Agents (including allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of the Credit Documents, (ii) any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto, and any other documents or matters requested by Co-Issuers and (iii) any Holders’ meetings pursuant to Section 5.7; (b) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses of creating and perfecting Liens in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties pursuant hereto, including filing and recording fees, expenses and amounts owed pursuant to Section 2.18(c) and (d), search fees, title insurance premiums and fees, reasonable expenses and disbursements of counsel to each Agent and of counsel providing any opinions that any Agent or Requisite Holders may reasonably request in respect of the Collateral or the Liens created pursuant to the Collateral Documents; (c) all the actual and reasonable costs and fees, expenses and disbursements of any auditors, accountants, consultants or appraisers, whether internal or external, employed by the Agents in connection with the Transactions; (d) all the actual and reasonable costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel (including

11.3 Indemnity.

(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 11.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent, its Affiliates and its respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees, representatives and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH AGENT; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable order. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against Agents and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Note or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

11.4 Set Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of

173

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

11.5 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Requisite Holders’ Consent. Subject to Sections 11.5(b) and 11.5(c), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents (other than the Registration Rights Agreement), or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of (I) in the case of this Agreement, the Co-Issuers, Note Agent and the Requisite Holders or (II) in the case of any other Credit Document (other than the Registration Rights Agreement), Note Agent and, if party thereto, Collateral Agent, with the consent of the Requisite Holders and, if required by this Agreement and such other Credit Documents (other than the Registration Rights Agreement), the applicable Credit Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document (other than the Registration Rights Agreement), no Affiliated Holder shall (i) have the right to vote in respect to any amendments, modifications, terminations, waivers or consents in connection with the Credit Documents (other than the Registration Rights Agreement) or any other action in respect thereof (and its Notes shall not be counted in determining whether any such vote has been obtained), (ii) participate in any meetings of Note Agent and the Holders at any time, (iii) receive any information regarding Holdings or its Subsidiaries generated by entities other than Holdings, or (iv) have any other rights under the Credit Documents (other than the Registration Rights Agreement) other than economic rights, provided, that “economic rights” shall include, without limitation, rights to (x) receive any fees paid generally to Holders or to consenting Holders in connection with waivers and amendments under this Agreement, (y) sell or grant assignments of and participations in its Notes in a manner that otherwise complies with the requirements of this Agreement in respect of assignments and participations of Notes and (z) vote on matters affecting its economic rights pursuant to Section 11.5.

(b) Affected Holders’ Consent. In addition to the consents required by 11.5(a), without the written consent of each Holder (other than any Affiliated Holder in the case of clauses (vii) through (x) below only) that would be affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(i) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Note of such Holder;

174

(ii) waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment due such Holder (including, without limitation, the payment of the Make-Whole Amount and Liquidated Damages;

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

(iv) extend the time for payment of any such interest, Additional Amounts or fees to such Holder;

(v) reduce the principal amount of or previously accrued interest on any Note;

(vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of this Section 11.5(b) or Section 11.5(c);

(ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Co-Issuer of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document (other than the Registration Rights Agreement);

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

(xi) impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Note; or

(xii) impair the right of the Holders of the Notes to convert any Note as provided in Section 10 or reduce the number of shares of Common Stock or other consideration due upon conversion, except as otherwise contemplated by Section 10;

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

175

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

(d) Execution of Amendments, etc. Note Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Holder (other than any Affiliated Holder), execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Holder. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 11.5 shall be binding upon each Holder at the time outstanding, each future Holder and each Credit Party.

11.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Holders and Purchasers. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Holders (or, prior to the Funding Date, all Purchasers) (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents, Holders and Purchasers) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Assignments and transfers of the Notes shall be governed by Section 2.5(c).

(b) Register of Commitments. Prior to the Funding Date, the Credit Parties, Administrative Agent and Purchasers shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Purchasers in the Register as the holders of the corresponding Commitments for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment shall be effective, in each case, unless and until a Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been delivered to and accepted by Note Agent and the Credit Parties and recorded in the Register as provided in

176

Section 11.6(e). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment shall be paid to the Purchaser listed in the Register as the holder thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Purchaser, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments.

(c) Right to Assign Commitments. Each Purchaser shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Commitment or other obligations under this Agreement:

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

(ii) to any Person otherwise constituting an Eligible Assignee with the consent of Note Agent; provided, each such assignment pursuant to this Section 11.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Holdings and the Note Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of Commitments of the assigning Purchaser); provided that the foregoing minimum assignment amounts shall not apply (x) to any assignment of all or any portion of a Commitment to another Purchaser, an Affiliate of any Purchaser or a Related Fund of the assignor; or (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing; and provided further that, solely with respect to any assignment effected during the period prior to the Funding Date, (A) if the proposed assignee is a Person constituting an Eligible Assignee under clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof, such assignment prior to the Funding Date shall be subject to the consent of Administrative Co-Issuer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld and (B) if the assignee fails to fund any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Notes on the Funding Date and the Administrative Co-Issuer or Note Agent does not elect to cause such assignee’s Commitment in respect of such portion to be assigned to an Eligible Assignee as provided in Section 2.2, then (x) the assigning Purchaser shall be required to fund such portion on the Funding Date, (y) such assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Purchaser for all purposes hereunder and (z) the assigning Purchaser shall be automatically reinstated as a Purchaser with respect to such portion of the Notes for all purposes hereunder.

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

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

177

(f) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Purchaser, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, (i) represents and warrants as of the Effective Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that it is an Eligible Assignee; and (ii) makes all of the representations and warranties required to be made by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 2.7.

(g) Effect of Assignment with Respect to Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11.6, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Purchaser” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement; (ii) the assigning Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 11.9) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Purchaser shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Purchaser as a Purchaser hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Purchaser, if any.

11.7 Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Purchaser (“Granting Purchaser”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Purchaser to Note Agent and Administrative Co-Issuer, the option to purchase from Co-Issuers all or any part of any Note that such Granting Purchaser would otherwise be obligated to purchase from Co-Issuers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to purchase any Notes and (y) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Note, the Granting Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase such Note pursuant to the terms hereof. The purchase of a Note by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Note Commitment of the Granting Purchaser to the same extent, and as if, such Note were purchased by such Granting Purchaser. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Purchaser). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, any Co-Issuer or Note Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Notes to the Granting Purchaser or to any financial institutions (consented to by Administrative Co-Issuer and Note Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Notes and (ii) disclose on

178

a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Notes to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This Section may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC. Co-Issuers acknowledge and agree, subject to the next sentence, that, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each SPC, for purposes of Sections 2.15, 2.17, 2.18, 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4, shall be considered a Purchaser and a Holder. Co-Issuers shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 2.15, 2.17, 2.18, 11.2, 11.3 and 11.4 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no grant been made by a Granting Purchaser to a SPC.

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

11.9 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the issuance of any Note. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.17, 2.18, 11.2 and 11.3 and the agreements of Holders set forth in Sections 2.15, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Notes and the termination hereof.

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

11.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Holder shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Note Agent or Holders (or to Note Agent, on behalf of Holders), or Note Agent, Collateral Agent or Holders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other foreign or domestic, federal or state law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

179

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

11.13 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Purchasers’ and Holders’ Rights. The obligations of Purchasers and Holders hereunder are several and no Purchaser or Holder shall be responsible for the obligations or Note Commitment of any other Purchaser or Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Purchasers or Holders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Purchasers or Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Purchaser or Holder shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Purchaser or Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser or Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

11.14 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

11.15 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Each Holder shall hold all non-public information regarding Co-Issuers and their Subsidiaries and their businesses clearly identified as such by Holdings and obtained by such Holder pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Holder’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Co-Issuers that, in any event, a Holder may make (i) on a need to know, confidential basis only, disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Holder and to their directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Holder or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 11.18), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bonafide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Holder of any Notes or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) (provided, such bonafide or potential assignees, transferees and participants and such counterparties and advisors referred to in this clause (ii) are advised of and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.18), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided, that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Holder, (iv) disclosures to any Holder’s financing sources, provided that prior to any disclosure, such financing source is informed of the confidential nature of the information and that such information is being provided on a confidential basis only, (v) disclosure of information which (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.18 or (B) becomes available to Note Agent or any Holder on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties that is not, to the knowledge of Note Agent or such Holder, acting in violation of a confidentiality agreement with any Credit Party, and (vi) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Holder shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Administrative Co-Issuer of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Holder by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after the Effective Date, Note Agent may, at its own expense, issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other appropriate media. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.18, the parties (and each employee, representative, or other agent of the parties) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the Tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided, however, that no party (and no employee, representative, or other agent thereof) shall disclose any other information that is not relevant to an understanding of the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the transaction (including the identity of any party and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of any party), or any other information to the extent that such disclosure could reasonably result in a violation of any applicable securities law.

11.19 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under

182

applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Notes made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Notes made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Co-Issuers shall pay to Note Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Purchasers, Holders and Co-Issuers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Purchaser or Holder contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Purchaser’s or Holder’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Notes made hereunder or be refunded to Co-Issuers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Note Agent, a Purchaser or Holder exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (B) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (C) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

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

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

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

11.23 Disclosure and Equity Holder Information. Each Credit Party and each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that Note Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, and make other loans to, or have other relationships with any of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, including the ownership, purchase and sale of equity interests in Holdings and each Credit Party and each Holder hereby expressly consents to such relationships. In addition, each Credit Party and each Holder hereby acknowledges that (i) Co-Issuers have also borrowed term loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement,

183

and (ii) Silver Point, which is acting as Note Agent and Collateral Agent as of the Effective Date (and is also purchasing some of the Notes, either directly or through its Affiliates) is also (A) the First Lien Administrative Agent and the First Lien Collateral Agent under the First Lien Credit Agreement and (B) the Second Lien Administrative Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. Each Holder acknowledges that Note Agent, its Affiliates and/or their respective Related Funds (i) may have representatives on the board of directors of Holdings and (ii) will have information related to the Credit Parties (“Equity Holder Information”) that is not provided or made available to the Holders. All information provided to Note Agent, its Affiliates and/or their respective Related Funds regarding the Credit Parties shall be deemed to be Equity Holder Information, unless expressly stated to be, or expressly required or contemplated by this Agreement or a Collateral Document to be delivered to Note Agent in its capacity as such. Note Agent shall have no obligation to provide any Holder with Equity Holder Information.

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

11.25 Advertising and Publicity. No Credit Party shall issue or disseminate to the public (by advertisement, including without limitation any “tombstone” advertisement, press release or otherwise), submit for publication or otherwise cause or seek to publish any information describing the credit or other financial accommodations made available by Holders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents without the prior written consent of Note Agent. Nothing in the foregoing shall be construed to prohibit any Credit Party from making any submission or filing which it is required to make by applicable law or pursuant to judicial process; provided, that, (i) such filing or submission shall contain only such information as is necessary to comply with applicable law or judicial process and (ii) unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, Co-Issuer shall promptly notify Note Agent of the requirement to make such submission or filing and provide Note Agent with a copy thereof.

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