(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth,

(i) each Revolving Loan Lender severally (but not jointly or jointly and severally) agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower at any time and from

time to time from the Effective Date to the Final Maturity Date, or until the earlier reduction of its Revolving Credit Commitment to zero in accordance with the terms hereof or termination thereof pursuant to Section 9.01, in an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans at any time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (1) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (2) its Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the difference of (x) the then current Borrowing Base and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations and (II) the aggregate amount of Reserves as the Administrative Agent shall establish from time to time, except for Collateral Agent Advances;

(ii) each Term Loan Lender agrees to make its portion of the Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at any time to the Borrower shall not exceed the lower of (A) the difference between (x) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and (y) the sum of (I) the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations plus (II) the aggregate amount of Reserves as the Administrative Agent shall establish from time to time and (B) the difference between (x) the then current Borrowing Base and (y) the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations plus (II) the aggregate amount of Reserves as the Administrative Agent shall establish from time to time. The Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced to zero on the Final Maturity Date. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans, on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Final Maturity Date, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth herein.

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan made on the Effective Date shall not exceed the Total Term Loan Commitment. Any principal amount of the Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(c) Anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01 notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish Reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against availability, the Borrowing Base, any component thereof or eligibility, including, without limitation, Reserves (i) with respect to (A) sums that any Loan Party is required to pay by any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay, and (B) amounts owing by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral, such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, bailees, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, processors, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, customs, or other taxes, fees or governmental charges in and to such item of the Collateral, (ii) with respect to terminations of Material Contracts or changes in revenue recognition, (iii) to reflect acts, conditions, contingencies or risks which adversely affect or have a reasonable likelihood of adversely affecting, any of the Collateral or its value, including without limitation, reserves for inventory shrinkage and (iv) with respect to such other matters, as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate.

Section 2.02 Making the Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior telephonic notice (immediately confirmed in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (a “Notice of Borrowing”)), not later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) 3 Business Days before the borrowing date of the proposed Loan. Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the proposed Loan, (ii) in the case of Loans requested on the Effective Date, whether such Loan is requested to be a Revolving Loan or the Term Loan, (iii) the use of the proceeds of such proposed Loan, and (iv) the proposed borrowing date, which must be a Business Day, and, with respect to the Term Loans, must be the Effective Date. The Administrative Agent and Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent). The Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of any such telephonic Notice of Borrowing. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request a Loan on behalf of the Borrower until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith. Each Revolving Loan (other than the initial Revolving Loan on the Effective Date) shall be made in a minimum amount of $300,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. No more than one Notice of Borrowing may be given within any five consecutive Business Day period.

(c) (i) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 2.02(c), all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the Lender simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the Total Term Loan Commitment, as the case may be, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), and the Borrower and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, fund, on behalf of the Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment, Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.01; provided, however, that (a) the Administrative Agent shall in no event fund any such Revolving Loans if the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Collateral Agent or the

Required Lenders on a Business Day prior to the time of the proposed Revolving Loan that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 4.03 will not be satisfied at the time of the proposed Revolving Loan, and (b) the Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent in Section 4.03 have been satisfied. If the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing requesting a Revolving Loan and the Administrative Agent elects not to fund such Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, then promptly after receipt of the Notice of Borrowing requesting such Revolving Loan, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the specifics of the requested Revolving Loan and that it will not fund the requested Revolving Loan on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders. If the Administrative Agent notifies the Revolving Loan Lenders that it will not fund a requested Revolving Loan on behalf of such Revolving Loan Lenders, each Revolving Loan Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, in the Administrative Agent’s Account, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Revolving Loan. The Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower on the day of the proposed Revolving Loan by causing an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s Account or the amount funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by the Borrower.

(iii) If the Administrative Agent has notified the Revolving Loan Lenders that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Revolving Loan Lenders, will fund a particular Revolving Loan pursuant to subsection 2.02(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent may assume that each such Revolving Loan Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such day and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to the Borrower on such day. If the Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any such Revolving Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(iv) Nothing in this subsection 2.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment

hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder.

In no event shall the same be commingled with the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s own funds. The Borrower agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank or other financial institution at which a Cash Management Account or any other deposit account or investment account is established or any other bank, financial institution or other person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Cash Management Accounts arising out of Administrative Agent’s payments to or indemnification of such bank, financial institution or other person.

and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(i) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Collateral Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.07) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

(f) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.

(A) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Administrative Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower and Administrative Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and the Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, the Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment.

(B) If for any reason LIBOR is no longer available or ascertainable, or the LIBOR Rate no longer fairly reflects the cost to a Lender of making or maintaining Loans at the LIBOR Rate or Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans at the LIBOR Rate are not generally available in the London interbank market, or in the event that any change in market conditions or any law, regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation of application thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Loans by reference to LIBOR or to continue such funding or maintaining, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Administrative Agent and the Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and in the case of any such Loans of such Lender or Lenders, LIBOR shall then be determined by the Administrative Agent based on comparable replacement sources as it considers appropriate to as nearly approximate LIBOR.

(C) Each of the Loan Parties agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender and to hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Administrative Agent or such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of a Loan bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and/or

(ii) the making of a prepayment of any Loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a day which is not the last day of an interest period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or extended, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or extend to the last day of the applicable interest period, in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate provided for herein over (B) the amount of interest (as determined by Administrative Agent or such Lender) which would have accrued to Administrative Agent or such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank LIBOR market. This covenant shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 2.05 Reduction of Commitment; Prepayment of Loans.

(a) (i) Term Loan. The Total Term Loan Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Effective Date.

(ii) Revolving Credit Commitments. The Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Final Maturity Date. After the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower may, without premium or penalty, reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any concurrent payment), (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a Notice of Borrowing has been given by the Borrower under Section 2.02, (C) the Letter of Credit Obligations at such time and (D) the stated amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been made. Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (unless the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in effect immediately prior to such reduction is less than $1,000,000), shall be made by providing not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof. Prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment may only be (i) partially reduced on five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and (ii) reduced in its entirety together with the payment of the Early Termination Fee, all Letter of Credit Obligations and all outstanding Term Loans and Revolving Loans and other Obligations and the termination and return of all Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Guarantees.

(b) Optional Prepayment.

(i) Term Loan. After the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay without penalty or premium the principal of the Term

Loan, in whole or in part. Prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower may, upon at least 5 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay the principal of the Term Loans in whole, together with the payment of the Early Termination Fee and all outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations, reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment to zero and the termination of all Letters of Credit and Letter of Credit Guarantees. Each prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b)(i) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal due on the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity.

(ii) Revolving Loans. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, prepay without penalty or premium the principal of any Revolving Loan, in whole or in part, except for payment of the Early Termination Fee (to the extent required above). The prepayment of any Revolving Loans pursuant to this subsection shall not result in a corresponding permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment.

(i) (x) The Borrower will immediately prepay the Revolving Loans at any time when the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus all Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the amount permitted to be outstanding pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i) to the full extent of any such excess. On each day that any Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding, the Borrower shall hereby be deemed to represent and warrant to the Agents and the Lenders that the Borrowing Base calculated as of such day equals or exceeds the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding on such day.

(y) The Borrower will immediately prepay the Loans at any time when a Term Loan Borrowing Base Deficiency exists in the full amount necessary to eliminate such Term Loan Borrowing Base Deficiency. Each prepayment pursuant to this subsection (c)(i)(y) shall be applied first, to prepay Revolving Loans until such Term Loan Borrowing Base Deficiency no longer exists (after giving effect to the application of such prepayment); and second, to prepay the Term Loan which shall be applied against remaining installments of principal installments of the Term Loans in inverse order of maturity until prepaid in full.

(z) If at any time after the Borrower has complied with Section 2.05(c)(i)(x) and (y) and the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations is greater than the then current Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall provide cash collateral to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 110% of such excess, which cash collateral shall be deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and, provided further that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, returned to the Borrower, at such time as the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans no longer exceeds the then current Borrowing Base.

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall on each Business Day apply all funds transferred to or deposited in the Administrative Agent’s Account, to the payment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding Obligations in accordance with Section 4.04.

(iii) Within ten (10) days of delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of audited annual financial statements pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii), commencing with the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2005 or, if such financial statements are not delivered to the Agent and the Lenders on the date such statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii), ten (10) days after the date such statements are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year (or in the case of the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2005, from March 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005).

(iv) Immediately upon any Disposition by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.02(c)(i)(B) or (C), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such Disposition to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by all Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries (and not paid to the Agent as a prepayment of the Term Loan) shall exceed for all such Dispositions $75,000 in any month; provided that any proceeds not reinvested within 4 months of the date of the Disposition giving rise to such proceeds must be immediately paid to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan. Nothing contained in this subsection (v) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a Disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.02(c)(i).

(v) Upon the issuance or incurrence by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness referred to in the definition of Permitted Indebtedness), or the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any shares of its Capital Stock (other than the exercise of employee or former employee options in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate per fiscal year or any amounts received in connection with options exercised prior to the Closing Date), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this subsection (vi) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(vi) Upon the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting and other amounts paid in connection with such Extraordinary Receipts.

(d) Application of Payments. Each prepayment pursuant to subsections (c)(iii), (c)(iv), (c)(v) and (c)(vi) above shall be applied, first, against remaining installments of principal installments of the Term Loan in inverse order of maturity, until such Term Loan shall have been prepaid in full; second, to prepay the Revolving Loans in full; third, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 110% of the then extant Letter of Credit Obligations, until paid in full.

(e) Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05 (other than prepayments made pursuant to subsections (c)(i) or (c)(ii) of this Section 2.05) shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment, and if such prepayment would reduce the amount of the Term Loan to zero, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of all fees accrued to such date pursuant to Section 2.06.

(f) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.05, payments with respect to any subsection of this Section 2.05 are in addition to payments made or required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.05.

Section 2.06 Closing Fee. On or prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, a non-refundable closing fee (the “Closing Fee”) equal to 2.0% of the Total Commitments, which shall be deemed fully earned on the Effective Date.

Section 2.07 Unused Line Fee. From and after the Effective Date and until the Final Maturity Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Loan Lenders, in accordance with a written agreement among such Revolving Loan Lenders, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate per annum of 0.50% on the excess, if any, of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment over the sum of the average principal amount (on a monthly basis) of all Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month commencing March 2005.

Section 2.08 Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the letter of credit fees in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof.

Section 2.09 Early Termination Fee. On the Early Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent the Early Termination Fee, which fee shall be non-refundable. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the Early Termination Fee is agreed to by each Loan Party in consideration of, among other things, the agreement of the Lenders to permit the Borrower to reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and repay the Term Loan prior to the Final Maturity Date.

Section 2.10 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Agent or any Lender by the jurisdiction in

which such Person is organized or has its principal lending office (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Agents or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.09 the Agents or such Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (“Other Taxes”). Each Loan Party shall deliver to the Agents and each Lender official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold each Agent and each Lender harmless from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.10) paid by such Person, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(d) Each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), agrees that it shall, no later than the Effective Date (or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof after the Effective Date, promptly prior to the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto) deliver to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of an assignee of a Lender which (x) is an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender and (y) does not deliver an Assignment and Acceptance to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 11.07(b) for recordation pursuant to Section 11.07(e), to the assigning Lender only) two properly completed and duly executed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof, in each case claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax and payments of interest hereunder and shall provide the Administrative Agent with updated versions of or replacements for such forms at any point such forms become inaccurate or superceded (and shall provide the same to Borrower, upon Borrower’s reasonable request). In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non-U.S. Lender (and each assignee so represents as of the date it becomes Lender) hereby represents to the Agent and the Borrower that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Parent and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the

Parent (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code)), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in the event any such representation is no longer accurate. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from the Administrative Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.10, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver after the date hereof any form pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) The Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of clause (d) above.

(f) Any Lender claiming any indemnity payment or additional payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amount which may thereafter accrue, would not require such Lender (or Transferee) to disclose any information such Lender (or Transferee) deems confidential and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender (or Transferee), be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee).

(g) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.11 Securitization. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may seek to sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or

through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Xxxxx’x, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). The Loan Parties shall cooperate with such Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by any of the Lenders in connection with the Securitization, provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose material additional costs on the Loan Parties and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Loan Parties the financial terms of the Loans, (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization, and (c) providing in connection with any rating of the Loans a certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lenders and their Affiliates, any of the Rating Agencies, or any party providing credit support or otherwise participating in the Securitization (collectively, the “Securitization Parties”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which the Lenders, their Affiliates or such Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lenders in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or assigns of the Loans and (ii) agreeing to reimburse the Lenders and their Affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Liabilities.

Section 2.12 Overadvances. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders from time to time, in its absolute and sole discretion to make or permit to remain outstanding such additional Revolving Loans on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, intentionally and with actual knowledge that such Revolving Loans will cause the total outstanding Revolving Loans plus all Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed the Borrowing Base, as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, provided that: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the additional Revolving Loans to the Borrower which the Administrative Agent may make or provide (after obtaining such actual knowledge that the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans equal or exceed the Borrowing Base) plus the amount of Collateral Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 10.08(a) then outstanding (but excluding Collateral Agent Term Advances), shall not exceed the aggregate amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Borrowing Base and $3,500,000 (whichever is less) at any time and shall not cause the total principal amount of the Revolving Loans (and Collateral Agent Advances) and Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) no such additional Revolving Loan shall be outstanding more than ninety (90) days after the date such additional Revolving Loan is made or issued or deemed made (as the case may be), except as the Required Lenders may otherwise agree. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall be obligated, upon request of the Administrative Agent, to immediately pay the Administrative Agent the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any such additional Revolving Loans.

ARTICLE III

LETTER OF CREDIT

Section 3.01 Letters of Credit.

(a) In order to assist the Borrower in establishing or opening standby letters of credit, which shall not have expiration dates that exceed one year from the date of issuance (each a “Letter of Credit”), with the L/C Issuer, the Borrower has requested the Administrative Agent to join in the applications for such Letters of Credit, and/or guarantee payment or performance of such Letters of Credit and any drafts thereunder through the issuance of a Letter of Credit Guaranty, thereby lending the Administrative Agent’s credit to that of the Borrower, and the Administrative Agent has agreed to do so. These arrangements shall be coordinated by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to be the issuer of any Letter of Credit. The Borrower will be the account party for the application for each Letter of Credit, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.01(a) hereto or on a computer transmission system approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, or such other written form or computer transmission system as may from time to time be approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, and shall be duly completed in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with such other certificates, agreements, documents and other papers and information as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may reasonably request (the “Letter of Credit Application”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 (“UCP 500”), and any amendments or revision thereof adhered to by the Issuer or the International Standby Practices (ISP98 – International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), as determined by Administrative Agent.

(b) The Letters of Credit listed on Schedule 3.01(b) attached hereto (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) were issued under the Existing Credit Facility by the Existing Lender, as issuer, and such Existing Letters of Credit shall for all purposes, hereunder, including without limitation all fees owing in respect thereof, constitute Letters of Credit hereunder.

(c) The aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the lowest of (i) the difference between (A) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment less all Reserves established by the Administrative Agent from time to time and (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, (ii) the difference between (A) the Borrowing Base and (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (iii) the L/C Sublimit. In addition, the terms and conditions of all Letters of Credit and all changes or modifications thereof by the Borrower and/or the L/C Issuer shall in all respects be subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent in the reasonable exercise of its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that (i) the expiry date of all Letters of Credit shall be no later than 15 days prior to the Final Maturity Date unless, on or prior to 15 days prior to the Final Maturity Date either (A) such Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized in an amount equal to 110% of the face amount of such Letters of Credit by deposit of cash in such amount in

an account under the sole and exclusive control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and/or the L/C Issuer (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) or (B) the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders with an indemnification, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from a commercial bank or other financial institution acceptable to the Agents for any Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit and (ii) the Letters of Credit and all documentation in connection therewith shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, to charge the Loan Account with the amount of any and all Indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of any kind (including indemnification for breakage costs, capital adequacy and reserve requirement charges) incurred by the Agents or the Revolving Loan Lenders under the Letter of Credit Guaranty or incurred by the L/C Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit at the earlier of (i) payment by the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders under the Letter of Credit Guaranty or (ii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall also have the right, without notice to the Borrower, to charge the Loan Account with the amount of any cash collateral or other collateral support that the L/C Issuer may require from any Agent or any Lender under a Letter of Credit Guaranty or otherwise, or at the Administrative Agent’s option, to require the Borrower to provide such required amounts of cash collateral to the Administrative Agent in connection to the Administrative Agent’s obligations under any such Letter of Credit Guaranty or otherwise with respect to any such Letter of Credit. Any amount charged to the Loan Account shall be deemed a Revolving Loan hereunder made by the Revolving Loan Lenders to the Borrower, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders and subject to Section 2.02(c) of this Agreement. Any charges, fees, commissions, costs and expenses charged to the Administrative Agent for the Borrower’s account by the L/C Issuer in connection with or arising out of Letters of Credit or transactions relating thereto, including all amounts drawn on Letters of Credit, will be charged to the Loan Account in full when charged to or paid by the Administrative Agent and, when charged, shall be conclusive on the Borrower absent manifest error, and Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the L/C Issuer all such amounts when charged to the Loan Account. Each of the Revolving Loan Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 5.02 have been satisfied.

(e) The Borrower unconditionally indemnifies each Agent and each Lender and holds each Agent and each Lender harmless from any and all loss, claim or liability incurred by any Agent or any Lender arising from any transactions or occurrences relating to Letters of Credit, any drafts or acceptances thereunder, the Collateral relating thereto, and all Obligations in respect thereof, including any such loss or claim due to any action taken by the L/C Issuer, other than for any such loss, claim or liability arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer, any Agent or any Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower further agrees to hold each Agent and each Lender harmless from any errors or omission, negligence or misconduct by the L/C Issuer. The Borrower’s unconditional obligations to each Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit hereunder shall not be modified or diminished for any reason or in any

manner whatsoever, other than as a result of such Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that any charges incurred by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer for the Borrower’s account hereunder may (and, at any time prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of written notice from Collateral Agent or any Lender that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (which Default or Event of Default has not been cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith), shall) be charged to the Loan Account.

(f) Upon any payments made to the L/C Issuer under the Letter of Credit Guaranty, the Agents or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as the case may be, shall, without prejudice to their rights under this Agreement (including that such unreimbursed amounts shall constitute Loans hereunder), acquire by subrogation, any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by the Borrower in favor of the L/C Issuer in any application for Letters of Credit, any standing agreement relating to Letters of Credit or otherwise, all of which shall be deemed to have been granted to the Agents and the Revolving Loan Lenders and apply in all respects to the Agents and the Revolving Loan Lenders and shall be in addition to any rights, remedies, duties or obligations contained herein.

Section 3.02 Participations.

(a) Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance by the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement, each Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in all obligations of the Administrative Agent in such Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto pursuant to the Letter of Credit Guaranty or otherwise).

(b) Sharing of Payments. In the event that the Administrative Agent makes any payment in respect of the Letter of Credit Guaranty and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall charge the Loan Account in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation, in accordance with Section 3.01(d) and 4.02 of this Agreement.

(c) Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of a Revolving Loan Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Agents, the Revolving Loan Lenders or the L/C Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, without any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in such Letter of Credit or

any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, such Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower or any other party and the beneficiary named in such Letter of Credit);

(iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(v) any failure by any Agent to provide any notices required pursuant to this Agreement relating to such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

(vii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

Section 3.03 Letter of Credit Issuance and Fees.

(a) Request for Issuance. The Borrower may, upon notice not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, at least 15 Business Days in advance of the issuance thereof, request the Administrative Agent to assist the Borrower in establishing or opening a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to the L/C Issuer, a Letter of Credit Application, together with any necessary related documents.

The Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any amount due and payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Any amount charged to the Loan Account of the Borrower shall be deemed a Revolving Loan hereunder made by the Revolving Lenders to the Borrower, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders and subject to Section 2.02 hereof. The Lenders and the Borrower confirm that any charges which the Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the Borrower as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to the Borrower and solely at the Administrative Agent’s discretion, provided that the Administrative Agent shall from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Agent, charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any amount due and payable under any Loan Document.

Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

Section 4.03 Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Section 2.02 hereof, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.03 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(a) The Loan Parties shall (i) establish and maintain cash management services of a type (including lockboxes) and on terms satisfactory to Administrative Agent at each of the banks set forth on Schedule 8.01 (each a “Cash Management Bank” and which shall include each account listed on Schedule 6.01(v) other than payroll accounts with an aggregate average daily balance of no more than $25,000 and the inactive Bank of America accounts so long as such accounts remain inactive), shall irrevocably instruct its Account Debtors to remit all payments to a Cash Management Account and subject to clause (f) below, shall take such reasonable steps to enforce, collect and receive all amounts owing on the Accounts Receivable of Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all proceeds in respect of any Collateral and all Collections and other amounts received by any Loan Party (including payments made by the Account Debtors directly to any Loan Party) into a Cash Management Account.

(b) On the Effective Date, the Loan Parties shall, with respect to each Cash Management Account, deliver to the Administrative Agent, a Cash Management Agreement with respect to such Cash Management Account.

(c) Upon request of the Administrative Agent during the existence of a Default or Event of Default all amounts received in any Cash Management Account shall be wired each Business Day into the Administrative Agent’s Account to be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.04.

(d) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may amend Schedule 8.01 to add or replace a Cash Management Bank or Cash Management Account; provided, however, that (i) such prospective Cash Management Bank shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall have consented in writing in advance to the opening of such Cash Management Account with the prospective Cash Management Bank, and (ii) prior to the time of the opening of such Cash Management Account, the applicable Loan Party and such prospective Cash Management Bank shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent a Cash Management Agreement. Each Loan Party shall close any of its Cash Management Accounts (and establish replacement cash management accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within thirty (30) days of notice from Administrative Agent that the creditworthiness of any Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within sixty (60) days of notice from Administrative Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer, or availability procedures or performance of the Cash Management Bank with respect to Cash Management Accounts or Administrative Agent’s liability under any Cash Management Agreement with such Cash Management Bank is no longer acceptable in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment.

(e) The Cash Management Accounts shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Obligations, and in which the Loan Parties are hereby deemed to have granted a Lien to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Agents and Lenders. All checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences of Indebtedness received directly by any Loan Party as proceeds of any Collateral shall be held by such Loan Party in trust for the Agents and the Lenders and upon

100

receipt be deposited by such Loan Party in original form and no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof into a Cash Management Account; provided, however, except to the extent provided in this Agreement, all Net Cash Proceeds received directly by such Loan Party pursuant to an event described in Section 2.05, shall be held by such Loan Party in trust for the Agents and the Lenders and upon receipt be deposited by the Loan Party in original form and no later than the next Business Day after receipt thereof into the Administrative Agent’s Account. A Loan Party shall not commingle such collections with such Loan Party’s own funds or the funds of any Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Loan Party or with the proceeds of any assets not included in the Collateral. No checks, drafts or other instrument received by the Administrative Agent shall constitute final payment to the Administrative Agent unless and until such instruments have actually been collected.

(f) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Agent may send a notice of assignment and/or notice of the Lenders’ security interest to any and all Account Debtors or third parties holding or otherwise concerned with any of the Collateral, and thereafter the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right to enforce, collect and receive the Account Receivables and/or take possession of the Collateral and the books and records relating thereto. Except as provided in Section 7.02(o), the Loan Parties shall not, without prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, grant any extension of time of payment of any Account Receivable, compromise or settle any Account Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, release, in whole or in part, any Person or property liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon.

(g) Each Loan Party hereby appoints each Agent or its designee on behalf of such Agent as the Loan Parties’ attorney-in-fact with power exercisable during the continuance of an Event of Default to endorse any Loan Party’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Accounts, to sign any Loan Party’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Accounts, drafts against Account Debtors with respect to Accounts Receivable, assignments and verifications of Accounts Receivable and notices to Account Debtors with respect to Accounts Receivable, to send verification of Accounts, and to notify the Postal Service authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Loan Party to such address as such Agent may designate and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law; this power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until all of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations under the Loan Documents are paid in full and all of the Loan Documents are terminated.

(h) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute any Agent as agent of any Loan Party for any purpose whatsoever, and the Agents shall not be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof (other than from acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents shall not, under any

101

circumstance or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Accounts or any instrument received in payment thereof or for any damage resulting therefrom (other than acts of omission or commission constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agents, by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, do not assume any of the obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to any Agent and shall not be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

(i) If any Account Receivable includes a charge for any tax payable to any Governmental Authority, each Agent is hereby authorized (but in no event obligated) in its discretion to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the Loan Parties’ account and to charge the Loan Parties therefor. The Loan Parties shall notify the Agents if any Account Receivable includes any taxes due to any such Governmental Authority and, in the absence of such notice, the Agents shall have the right to retain the full proceeds of such Account Receivable and shall not be liable for any taxes that may be due by reason of the sale and delivery creating such Account.

(j) Notwithstanding any other terms set forth in the Loan Documents, the rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders herein provided, and the obligations of the Loan Parties set forth herein, are cumulative of, may be exercised singly or concurrently with, and are not exclusive of, any other rights, remedies or obligations set forth in any other Loan Document or as provided by law.

Section 8.02 Accounts Receivable Documentation. The Loan Parties will at such intervals as the Agents may reasonably require, execute and deliver confirmatory written assignments of the Accounts to the Agents and furnish such further schedules and/or information as any such Agent may reasonably require relating to the Accounts Receivable, including, without limitation, sales invoices or the equivalent, credit memos issued, remittance advices, reports and copies of deposit slips and copies of original shipping or delivery receipts for all merchandise sold. In addition, the Loan Parties shall notify the Agents of any non-compliance in respect of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Section 8.03. The items to be provided under this Section 8.02 are to be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agents and are to be executed and delivered to the Agents from time to time solely for their convenience in maintaining records of the Collateral. The Loan Parties’ failure to give any of such items to the Agents shall not affect, terminate, modify or otherwise limit the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral. The Loan Parties shall not re-date any invoice or sale or make sales on extended dating beyond that customary in the Loan Parties’ industry, and shall not re-xxxx any Accounts without promptly disclosing the same to the Agents and providing the Agents with a copy of such re-billing, identifying the same as such. If the Loan Parties become aware of anything materially detrimental to any of the Loan Parties’ customers’ credit, the Loan Parties will promptly advise the Agents thereof.

fees necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (viii) subject to Section 10.03 of this Agreement, to take such action as such Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to administer the Loans and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers delegated to each such Agent by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the power to give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make determinations and calculations) together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes hereof and thereof. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Term Loan), neither Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but each shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders and all makers of Loans; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of such Agent, exposes itself to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law.

Section 10.02 Nature of Duties. Neither Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties of each Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Neither Agent shall have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon either Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value of the Collateral, and the Agents shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender, the Agents shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to the Agents by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If either Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Each Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders have instructed such Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

Section 10.03 Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Agent and nor its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof until such Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to such Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Agent or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants,

111

and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vi) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectibility of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall any Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Neither Agent shall be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 4.04, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled. Each Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents each such Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, each such Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against either Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

Section 10.04 Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

Section 10.05 Indemnification. To the extent that any Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by any Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 10.08; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements for which there has been a final judicial determination that such liability resulted

112

from either Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.06 Agent Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment hereunder and the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms “Lenders” or “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower as if it were not acting as the Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders.

Section 10.07 Successor Agent.

(a) Each Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and each Lender. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent, and the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the resigning Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as the Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

Section 10.08 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Collateral Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Collateral Agent Advances”) which the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrower of the Loans, and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 11.04. The Collateral Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Collateral Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 4.02.

113

The Collateral Agent shall notify each other Agent and Lender and the Borrower in writing of each such Collateral Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Collateral Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Collateral Agent, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Collateral Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Collateral Agent by such Lender, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Collateral Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.08(a) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may (in its sole discretion) elect to convert a Collateral Agent Advance to a Term Loan Advance (an “Collateral Agent Term Advance”), subject to receipt of the prior written approval of the Term Loan Lenders holding more than 50% of the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans (but without any approval of any Loan Party). Upon such conversion, such Collateral Agent Term Advance shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of such Term Loan and shall otherwise bear interest and be payable hereunder as if it had originally been part of the outstanding principal of such Term Loan.

(b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment and satisfaction of the Loans, and all other Obligations which have matured and which the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.08(b).

(c) Without in any manner limiting the Collateral Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Collateral Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Collateral Agent under Section 10.08(b). Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by any Loan Party, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party.

114

(d) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Section 10.08 or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 10.09 Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints the Collateral Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Agents and the Lenders as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

116

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Agent, affect the rights or duties of each Agent (but not in its capacity as a Lender) under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.03 No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of any Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Agent and the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person.

Section 11.04 Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower will pay on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of each of the Agents (and, in the case of clauses (c) through (k) below, each Lender), regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, including, without limitation, reasonable fees, costs, client charges and expenses of counsel for each of the Agents (and, in the case of clauses (c) through (k) below, each Lender), accounting, due diligence, periodic field audits, physical counts, audit fees and expenses, valuations, investigations, searches and filings, rating agency fee, monitoring of assets, appraisals of Collateral, title searches and reviewing environmental assessments, miscellaneous disbursements, photocopying, notarization, couriers, messengers, telecommunications, costs and expenses in the disbursement of funds to the Borrower, examination, travel, lodging and meals, arising from or relating to: (a) the structuring, negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the preparation of any additional Loan Documents pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or the review of any of the agreements, instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.01(f)), (b) any requested amendments, waivers or consents to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents whether or not such documents become effective or are given, (c) the preservation and protection of any of the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (d) the defense of any claim or action asserted or brought against any Agent or any Lender by any Person that arises from or relates to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Agent’s or the Lenders’ claims against any Loan Party, or any and all matters in connection therewith, (e) the commencement or defense of, or intervention in, any court or judicial proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including in connection with any bankruptcy, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, foreclosures or other similar proceedings related to any Loan Party or the Collateral, including in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by, on behalf of, or against any Loan Party or its estate, and any appeal or review thereof, or participation in the filing of any petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleading by the Agent or any Lender, or the taking of any action in respect of the Collateral or other security, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (f) the protection, collection, maintaining, handling, storing, shipping, preparing for sale, advertising, lease, sale, taking possession of or liquidation of, any Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (g) terminating any attempt to enforce or defend any

Without limitation of the foregoing or any other provision of any Loan Document: (x) the Borrower agrees to pay all stamp, document, transfer, recording (including mortgage recording) or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter determined by any Agent or any Lender to be payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the Borrower agrees to save each Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all present or future claims, liabilities or losses with respect to or resulting from any omission to pay or delay in paying any such taxes, fees or impositions, (y) the Borrower agrees to pay all broker fees that may become due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (z) if the Borrower fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any Agent may itself perform or cause performance of such covenant or agreement, and the expenses of each Agent and Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed on demand by the Borrower.

Each Agent and each Lender agrees to notify such Loan Party promptly after any such set-off and application made by such Agent or such Lender provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under this Section 11.05 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Agents and the Lenders may have under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents of law or otherwise.

Section 11.06 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

118

Section 11.07 Assignments and Participations.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, and each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and any such assignment without the Lenders’ prior written consent shall be null and void.

(b) Each Lender may, with the written consent of each Agent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more other lenders or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loan made by it); provided, however, that (i) such assignment is in an amount which is at least $2,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender’s Commitment) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to any Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund), (ii) except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 11.07(b), the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such assignment and such parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $5,000 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund), and (iii) no written consent of any Agent shall be required (1) in connection with any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or (2) if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of any or all substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of such Lender. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least three Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the parties to such assignment), (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Section 11.07(b), a Lender may assign any or all of its rights under the Loan Documents to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund without delivering an Assignment and Acceptance to the Agents or to the Borrower (a “Related Party Assignment”); provided, however, that (I) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender until an Assignment and Acceptance has been delivered to the Administrative Agent for recordation on the Register, (II) the Collateral Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender until receipt by the Collateral Agent of a copy of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 11.07(e), (III) the failure of such assigning Lender to deliver Assignment and Acceptance to Agents shall not affect the legality, validity, or binding effect of such assignment, and (IV) an Assignment and Acceptance between the assigning Lender and an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the failure to obtain any assigning Lender’s assignee’s consent prior to receipt by Collateral Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance result in the unenforceability of any action or inaction by any Lender as the same relates to the Borrower.

119

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, any Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agents to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain, or cause to be maintained at its offices, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (the “Registered Loans”) owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the case of an assignment pursuant to the last sentence of Section 11.07(b) as to which an Assignment and Acceptance is not delivered to the Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a comparable register on behalf of the Borrower.

(e) Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance, and subject to any consent required from the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 11.07(b) (which consent of the Collateral Agent must be evidenced by the Collateral Agent’s execution of an acceptance to such Assignment and Acceptance), the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment, record the information contained therein in the Register and provide to the Collateral Agent a copy of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance.

(f) A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register or the Related Party Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register or the Related Party Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Agent shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(g) In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.

(h) Any non-U.S. Lender who is assigned an interest in any portion of such Registered Loan pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance shall comply with Section 2.10(d).

(i) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loan made by it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the Final Maturity Date or decrease in the principal amount of the Loans in which it is participating, (B) action directly decreasing the rate of interest payable on the Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement in which it is participating, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or substantially all of the Collateral or any material Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 10.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10 of this

121

Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the failure to obtain any participant’s consent to any of the foregoing result in the unenforceability of any action or inaction by any Lender as the same relates to the Borrower.

Section 11.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

Section 11.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED TO THE CONTRARY IN ANOTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN RESPECT OF SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 11.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS ITS AGENT FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.01 TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH

122

LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY LOAN PARTY HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Section 11.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH LOAN PARTY, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH LOAN PARTY CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF EACH AGENT OR ANY LENDER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT EACH AGENT OR ANY LENDER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH AGENT AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 11.12 Consent by the Agents and Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary, if the consent, approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an “Action”) of any Agent or any Lender shall be permitted or required pursuant to any provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to which any Loan Party is a party and to which any Agent or any Lender has succeeded thereto, such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by any Agent or such Lender, in its sole discretion, with or without any reason, and without being subject to question or challenge on the grounds that such Action was not taken in good faith.

Section 11.13 No Party Deemed Drafter. Each of the parties hereto agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.

Section 11.14 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon any Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, such Agent or such Lender shall give prompt notice of such claim to each Agent and other Lender and the Borrower, and if such Agent or such Lender repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such

123

Agent or such Lender or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Agent or such Lender with any such claimant, then and in such event each Loan Party agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to such Agent or such Lender hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Agent or such Lender.

Section 11.15 Indemnification.

(a) General Indemnity. In addition to each Loan Party’s other Obligations under this Agreement, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Lender and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of funds to the Borrower, including, without limitation, the management of any the Loans, (iii) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Environmental Indemnity. Without limiting Section 11.15(a) hereof, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnitees against any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and all other claims, demands, penalties, fines, liability (including strict liability), losses, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, consultant fees and laboratory fees), arising out of (i) any Releases or threatened Releases (x) at any property presently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest, or (y) of any Hazardous Materials generated and disposed of by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; (ii) any violations of Environmental Laws; (iii) any Environmental Action relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; (iv) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of exposure to Hazardous Materials used, handled, generated, transported or disposed by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; and (v) any breach of any warranty or representation regarding environmental matters made by the Loan Parties in Section 6.01(r) or

124

the breach of any covenant made by the Loan Parties in Section 7.01(j). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (b) regarding any potential environmental matter covered hereunder which is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.15 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The indemnities set forth in this Section 11.15 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.16 Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, including, without limitation, the Closing Fee, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

Section 11.17 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, the Agents and each Lender and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, the Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 11.07 hereof.

Section 11.18 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to the Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to the Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to each Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of

125

any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the Agent or such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to any Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 11.18 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 11.18.

For purposes of this Section 11.18, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction of the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of acceleration.

Section 11.19 Confidentiality. The Agents and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable commercial finance companies, any non-public information supplied to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which is identified in writing by the Loan Parties as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to such Person (and which at the time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person not to disclose such information), provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (i) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process,

126

(ii) to counsel for the Agents or any Lender, (iii) to examiners, auditors, accountants or Securitization Parties, (iv) in connection with any litigation to which the Agents or any Lender is a party or (v) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this Section 11.19. The Agent and each Lender agrees that, upon receipt of a request or identification of the requirement for disclosure pursuant to clause (iv) hereof, it will make reasonable efforts to keep the Loan Parties informed of such request or identification; provided that each Loan Party acknowledges that the Agent and each Lender may make disclosure as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof and that the Agent and each Lender may be subject to review by Securitization Parties or other regulatory agencies and may be required to provide to, or otherwise make available for review by, the representatives of such parties or agencies any such non-public information.

Section 11.20 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.
