POST-PETITION LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS POST-PETITION LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “DIP Loan Agreement”), is entered into as of May 8, 2006, by and among the lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (such lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “DIP Lender” and collectively as the “DIP Lenders”), SILICON GRAPHICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and each of Parent’s Subsidiaries identified on the signature pages hereof (such Subsidiaries, together with Parent, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Borrower,” and collectively, jointly and severally, as the “Borrowers”).

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

All defined terms not otherwise defined above or in this Introductory Statement are as defined in Schedule 1.1 or as defined elsewhere herein.

Certain of the DIP Lenders are holders of 6.50% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2009 issued under that certain Indenture, dated December 24, 2003, by and between Parent and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America ( as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “6.50% Notes Indenture”);

On December 24, 2003, Parent entered into an Indenture with U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, with respect to 11.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2009 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “11.75% Notes Indenture” and, together with the 6.50% Notes Indenture, the “Pre-Petition Indentures”);

As of October 24, 2005, the Borrowers entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Pre-Petition Credit Facility”) with the lenders identified on the signature pages thereof (such lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Pre-Petition Senior Lender” and collectively as the “Pre-Petition Senior Lenders”) and Xxxxx Fargo Foothill, Inc., a California corporation, as the arranger and administrative agent for the Pre-Petition Senior Lenders (in such capacity, the “Pre-Petition Agent”) providing for a secured credit facility.

On May 8, 2006 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Borrowers filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the Bankruptcy Court;

The Borrowers desire to pursue a financial restructuring of the Borrowers and the Borrowers believe that the best way to effectuate financial restructuring of the Borrowers is by means of cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code;

An immediate and on-going need exists for the Borrowers to obtain additional funds in order to continue the operation of their businesses as debtors-in-possession under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and, accordingly, the Borrowers have requested that the DIP Lenders refinance a portion of the Pre-Petition Credit Facility and extend post-petition financing, and the DIP Lenders are willing to provide such post-petition financing and incur such additional obligations pursuant to sections 364(c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3) and (d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, but only for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this DIP Loan Agreement; and

To provide security for the repayment of the Loans and the payment of the other Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers will provide to the DIP Lenders the following (each as more fully described herein):

(a) an allowed administrative expense claim in each of the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code having priority over all administrative expenses of the kind specified in, or arising under, any Sections of the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, Sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c) or 726 thereof), pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether or not such claims or expenses may become secured by a judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or attachment;

(b) a perfected Lien, pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, on all unencumbered property of the Borrowers (subject, in the case of leaseholds, to any notices required under applicable law);

(c) a perfected Lien, pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, upon all property of the Borrowers (other than property subject to the senior liens and replacement liens granted to the Pre-Petition Senior Lenders, the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Lenders and the 11.75% Secured Notes Lenders), junior to existing valid and perfected Liens on such property, as provided in the Interim Order and the Final Order, as applicable; and

(d) perfected first priority priming Liens, pursuant to Section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, on all of the Collateral,

provided, however, that all of the claims and the Liens granted hereunder in the Chapter 11 Cases to the DIP Lenders shall be subject to (x) such valid and enforceable liens of record as of the date of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases as are listed on Schedule P-2, (y) the liens and replacement liens granted to the Pre-Petition Senior Lenders and (z) the Carve-Out to the extent provided herein.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each DIP Lender is willing to make loans to the Borrowers in an aggregate amount not in excess of its Commitment hereunder. In consideration of the terms and conditions contained herein, and of any loans or extensions of credit now or hereafter made to or for the benefit of the Borrowers by the DIP Lenders, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.

1.1 Definitions. Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used in this DIP Loan Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1.

1.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Borrowers” or the term “Parent” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

1.3 UCC. Any terms used in this DIP Loan Agreement that are defined in the UCC shall be construed and defined as set forth in the UCC unless otherwise defined herein, provided, however, that to the extent that the UCC is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the UCC, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 shall govern.

1.4 Construction. Unless the context of this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or,” and any provision that is set forth herein as part of a list or series is to be construed in a manner that does not result in duplication of any other provision in such list or series. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this DIP Loan Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this DIP Loan Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this DIP Loan Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this DIP Loan Agreement or in the other Loan Documents to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). Any reference herein to the satisfaction or repayment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in cash (or cash collateralization in accordance with the terms hereof) of all Obligations other than contingent indemnification Obligations. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any Record transmitted shall constitute a representation and warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained therein.

1.5 Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this DIP Loan Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

2.2 Term Loan.

(a) Making of Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this DIP Loan Agreement, on and after the Closing Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date, each DIP Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make term loans (collectively, the “Term Loan”) to Borrowers in an aggregate amount equal to such DIP Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the then extant Term Loan Commitment in the aggregate amounts set forth below on or after the dates set forth below (each a “Term Loan Availability Date”):


The Closing Date	$	10,000,000
May 12, 2006	$	5,000,000
May 19, 2006	$	5,000,000
May 26, 2006	$	3,000,000
Upon entry of the Final Order	$	32,000,000
June 30, 2006	$	10,000,000
July 14, 2006	$	5,000,000

The outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the date of termination of this DIP Loan Agreement, whether by its terms, by prepayment, or by acceleration. All amounts outstanding under the Term Loan shall constitute Obligations. No portion of the Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid may be reborrowed.

2.3 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.

(a) Procedure for Borrowing of Term Loan. Each Borrowing of a Term Loan shall be made by an irrevocable written request by an Authorized Person delivered to each DIP Lender. Such notice must be received by each DIP Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date for the initial Borrowing and, thereafter, five (5) Business Days prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day. In lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give each DIP Lender telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrowers agree that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing to each DIP Lender within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.

(b) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(i) Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), and subject to the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.3(h), each DIP Lender shall make the amount of such DIP Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Administrative Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds to the Designated Account; provided, however, that no DIP Lender shall have the obligation to make any portion of the Term Loan if such DIP Lender shall have actual knowledge that (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing, when combined with prior Borrowings under Section 2.2, would exceed the amount of the Term Loan available to be borrowed pursuant to Section 2.2 on such Funding Date.

(ii) The failure of any DIP Lender to make any Term Loan on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other DIP Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Term Loan on such Funding Date, but no DIP Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other DIP Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by such other DIP Lender on any Funding Date.

(iii) Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents, any Defaulting DIP Lender shall be deemed not to be a “DIP Lender” and such DIP Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. This Section 2.3(c)(iii) shall remain effective with respect to such DIP Lender until (x) the Obligations under this DIP Loan Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting DIP Lenders and Administrative Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting DIP Lender’s default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting DIP Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Term Loan and pays to the Borrowers all amounts owing by such Defaulting DIP Lender in respect thereof. The operation of this Section 2.3(c)(iii) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any DIP Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting DIP Lender or any other DIP Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their duties and obligations hereunder to the DIP Lenders other than such Defaulting DIP Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting DIP Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting DIP Lender of this DIP Loan Agreement and shall entitle Administrative Borrower at its option, upon written notice to the DIP Lenders, to arrange for a substitute DIP Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting DIP Lender, such substitute DIP Lender to be reasonably acceptable to the Required DIP Lenders]. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute DIP Lender, the Defaulting DIP Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute DIP Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever; provided, however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting DIP Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the DIP Lenders’ or Borrowers’ rights or remedies against any such Defaulting DIP Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund.

(d) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(e) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(f) Notation. Administrative Borrower shall record on its books the principal amount of the Term Loan owing to each DIP Lender and the interests therein of each DIP Lender, from time to time and such records shall, absent manifest error, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Administrative Borrower, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.

(g) DIP Lenders’ Failure to Perform. The Term Loan and all other extensions of credit shall be made by the DIP Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and subject to Section 2.2. It is understood that (i) no DIP Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other DIP Lender to perform its obligation to make any Term Loan (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any DIP Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other DIP Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any DIP Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other DIP Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(h) Procedure for Borrowing of Term Loan.

(i) Each Borrowing of a portion or all of the Term Loan shall be made by an irrevocable written request by an Authorized Person delivered to the DIP Lenders. Such notice must be received by the DIP Lenders no later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) on the Closing Date and thereafter on the Business Day that is 5 (five) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day. At the DIP Lenders’ election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give the DIP Lenders telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrowers agree that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.

(ii) Borrowers may borrow up to the then extant Term Loan Commitment in accordance with the amounts set forth pursuant to the Term Loan Availability Dates pursuant to Section 2.2. .

2.4 Payments.

(a) Payments by Borrowers.

(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers shall be made in Dollars to the DIP Lenders’ Accounts, to be apportioned ratably among the DIP Lenders, and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by any DIP Lender later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day, and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.

(ii) Unless the DIP Lenders receive notice from Administrative Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the DIP Lenders that Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and when required, the DIP Lenders may assume that Borrowers have made (or will make) such payment in full to the DIP Lenders on such date in immediately available funds.

(b) Apportionment and Application.

(i) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting DIP Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the DIP Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each DIP Lender), and payments of fees and expenses shall be apportioned ratably among the DIP Lenders. All payments shall be remitted to the DIP Lenders’ Accounts, apportioned ratably among the DIP Lenders, and all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by the DIP Lenders, shall be applied as follows:

(A) first, ratably to pay any DIP Lender Expenses then due to any of the DIP Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

(B) second, ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the DIP Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full,

(iv) For purposes of the foregoing (other than clause (G)), “paid in full” means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest, default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements; provided, however, that for the purposes of clause (G), “paid in full” means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest, default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, whether or not the same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(v) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern.

(vi) The provisions of this Section 2.4 constitute an agreement among Borrowers and the DIP Lenders as to the application of payments, Collections and proceeds of Collateral and do not constitute any subordination of (x) any Obligations or (y) the right to payment of any Obligations.

(i) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(ii) Immediately upon any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition by Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of property or assets (other than sales or dispositions of Inventory or Equipment in the ordinary course of business), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding Obligations in accordance with clause (d) below in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such sales or dispositions to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (and not paid to the DIP Lenders as a prepayment of the Obligations) for all such sales or dispositions shall exceed $500,000 in any fiscal year; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to prepay hereunder, and any Foreign Subsidiary may retain, that portion of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Foreign Subsidiary from such sale or disposition as, and only so long as, is required to comply with the applicable laws or regulations of such Foreign Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of organization. Nothing contained in this subclause (ii) shall permit Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries to sell or otherwise dispose of any property or assets other than in accordance with Section 6.4.

(iii) Immediately upon the receipt by Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year of Parent ending after the Closing Date, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding Obligations in accordance with clause (d) below in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year of Parent ending after the Closing Date, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to prepay hereunder, and any Foreign Subsidiary may retain, that portion of the Extraordinary Receipts otherwise required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.4(c)(iii) and received by such Foreign Subsidiary as, and only so long as, is required to comply with the applicable laws or regulations of such Foreign Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of organization.

occurred and be continuing, be applied first to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, until paid in full and (B) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(i).

(iii) Each prepayment pursuant to subclauses (c)(ii) above and (c)(iii) with respect to insurance proceeds and condemnation awards related to a casualty or loss of Collateral, shall, (A) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied as follows:

(2) subject to clause (3) below, if the proceeds are from the sale or disposition of any other assets or any insurance policy or condemnation award not described in clause (1) above, such proceeds shall be applied first to the outstanding principal amount of Term Loan until paid in full, provided, however, that, except during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied to the extent that such proceeds are used to replace, repair, or restore the properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid if (i) the amount of proceeds received in respect of such sales, dispositions, insurance policies, or condemnation awards are less than $2,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this DIP Loan Agreement, and (ii) Borrowers deliver a certificate to the DIP Lenders within 10 days after such sale or 20 days after the date of such loss, destruction, or taking, as the case may be, stating that such proceeds shall be used to replace, repair, or restore such properties or assets within a period specified in such certificate not to exceed the earlier of (x) 90 days after the receipt of such proceeds, and (y) the Maturity Date (which certificate shall set forth estimates of the proceeds to be so expended). If all or any portion of such proceeds not so applied to the prepayment of the Obligations in accordance with this clause (2) are not used in accordance with the preceding sentence within the period specified in the relevant certificate furnished pursuant hereto, such remaining portion shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with this clause (2) on the last day of such specified period; and

(3) if the proceeds are from a sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or Stock of any Person or any insurance, which sale, disposition, or proceeds of insurance includes both Accounts or Inventory and other assets, such proceeds shall be applied first to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, until paid in full; and

(B) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.4(b)(i).

(iv) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(e) Optional Prepayment of Term Loan.

2.5 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

2.6 Interest Rates: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(A) Interest Rates. Except as provided in clause (c) below, any portion of the Term Loan that has been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the Base Rate plus seven percentage points (7.00%) and (ii) 250 basis points higher than the rate at which cash interest is then payable (excluding any interest not currently due and subject to waiver) under the Pre-Petition Senior Loan Documents; provided that if any interest that is accruing but not currently payable is in fact paid, an additional interest payment shall be made on the Term Loan to reflect such higher interest rate.

The foregoing notwithstanding, at no time shall any portion of any Obligations bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate less than: (i) the highest rate that may be applicable to “Obligations” (as defined in the Pre-Petition Credit Facility) under the Pre-Petition Credit Facility as in effect on the Closing Date (exclusive of any default rate); plus (ii) 2.50%. To the extent that interest accrued hereunder at the rate set forth herein would be less than the foregoing minimum daily rate, the interest rate chargeable hereunder for such day automatically shall be deemed increased to such minimum rate.

(b) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(c) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (and at the election of the Required DIP Lenders), all Obligations that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to 2.0 percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.

(d) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

(e) Payment. Except as provided to the contrary in Section 2.11, interest and all other fees payable hereunder shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations or Commitments are outstanding.

(f) Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.

(g) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this DIP Loan Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and the DIP Lenders, in executing and delivering this DIP Loan Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this DIP Loan Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

2.7 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

2.8 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

2.9 Designated Account. Administrative Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving portions of the Term Loan requested by Borrowers and made by the DIP Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by the DIP Lenders, any portion of the Term Loan requested by Borrowers and made by the DIP Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.

2.10 Maintenance of Loan Accounts; Statements of Obligations. Each DIP Lender shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (collectively, the “Loan Accounts”) on which such Borrower will be charged with the Term Loan and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and DIP Lender Expenses. The Loan Accounts will be credited with all payments received by the applicable DIP Lender from Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account. Each DIP Lender shall render statements regarding its Loan Account to Administrative Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting DIP Lender Expenses owing, and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be rebuttably presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the DIP Lenders unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Administrative Borrower, Administrative Borrower shall deliver to any DIP Lender a written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.

2.11 Fees. Borrowers shall pay to the DIP Lenders, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

2.12 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

2.13 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

2.14 Capital Requirements. If, after the date hereof, any DIP Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or change after the date hereof in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or any change after the date

hereof in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such DIP Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), imposed after the date hereof, has the effect of reducing the return on such DIP Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such DIP Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such DIP Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such DIP Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such DIP Lender to be material, then such DIP Lender may notify Administrative Borrower and the DIP Lenders thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay such DIP Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 90 days after presentation by such DIP Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such DIP Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such DIP Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

2.15 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers. Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the DIP Lenders under this DIP Loan Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.15), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

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

(d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.15 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this DIP Loan Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this DIP Loan Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of the making of any Term Loan pursuant to this DIP Loan Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this DIP Loan Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the DIP Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this DIP Loan Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this DIP Loan

Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the DIP Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this DIP Loan Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the DIP Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any DIP Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.15 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.15, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.15 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any DIP Lender.

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

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

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

(i) The DIP Lenders may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any Real Property or other Collateral pledged by Borrowers.

(ii) If any DIP Lender forecloses on any Real Property pledged by Borrowers:

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

(B) The DIP Lenders may collect from such Borrower even if the DIP Lenders, by foreclosing on the Real Property, have destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers.

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

(i) The provisions of this Section 2.15 are made for the benefit of the DIP Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any such DIP Lender, successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any DIP Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.15 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(j) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against any other Borrower with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the DIP Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to any DIP Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor.

(k) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any Indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the DIP Lenders, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to the DIP Lenders for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(b).

2.16 Registered Notes. The Administrative Borrower, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers (or in the case of an assignment not recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 14.1(i), the assigning DIP Lender) agrees to record the Commitments and Term Loan on the Register (or in the case of an assignment not recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 14.1(i), a Related Party Register). Each Commitment

and Term Loan recorded on the Register (or Related Party Register) may not be evidenced by promissory notes other than Registered Notes (as defined below). Upon the registration of each Commitment and Term Loan, each Borrower agrees, at the request of any DIP Lender, to execute and deliver to such DIP Lender a promissory note, in conformity with the terms of this DIP Loan Agreement, in registered form to evidence such Registered Loan, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such DIP Lender, and registered as provided in Section 14.1(i) (a “Registered Note”), payable to the order of such DIP Lender or its registered assigns and otherwise duly completed. Once recorded on the Register (or Related Party Register), no Commitment or Term Loan may be removed from the Register (or Related Party Register) so long as it remains outstanding, and a Registered Note may not be exchanged for a promissory note that is not a Registered Note.

2.17 Priority and Liens.

(a) The Borrowers hereby covenant, represent and warrant that, upon entry of the Interim Order or Final Order, as applicable, the Obligations of each of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (i) pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall at all times constitute allowed Super-Priority Claims, (ii) pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall at all times be secured by a perfected first priority Lien on all of the unencumbered Collateral (including without limitation, (x) real and tangible personal property subject to Liens which may be avoided pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, but only to the extent so avoided and (y) to the extent set forth in the Final Order, any avoidance actions arising under the Bankruptcy Code), (iii) pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be secured by a perfected Lien upon all Collateral (other than the Primed Assets, as to which the Lien in favor of the DIP Lenders will be as described in clause (iv) of this sentence) that is subject to a Permitted Lien, including without limitation, valid and perfected Liens in existence on the Petition Date or valid Liens perfected (but not granted) thereafter to the extent such post-Petition Date perfection in respect of a pre-Petition Date claim is expressly permitted under the Bankruptcy Code, junior to such Permitted Liens, provided that the Liens granted in favor of the DIP Lenders shall be senior to any Permitted Lien which is expressly stated herein to be junior to the Liens in favor of the DIP Lenders, and (iv) pursuant to Section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be secured by a perfected first priority, senior priming Lien on all of the Primed Assets, subject and subordinate in each case with respect to subclauses (i) through (iv) above, only to, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (x) such valid and enforceable liens of record as of the date of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases as are listed on Schedule P-2, (y) the liens and replacement liens granted to the Pre-Petition Senior Lenders and (z) the Carve-Out. Without prejudice to any DIP Lender’s right to object to the interim or final allowance of any compensation or reimbursement of expenses, and subject to the Agreed Budget, the DIP Lenders agree that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrowers shall be permitted to pay compensation and reimbursement of expenses allowed and payable under Sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code and pursuant to any order of the Bankruptcy Court, as the same may be due and payable, and the amounts so paid shall not reduce the Carve-Out.

(b) As to all Collateral, including without limitation, all real property the title to which is held by the Borrowers or the possession of which is held by the Borrowers pursuant to leasehold interests, each of the Borrowers, subject to (x) such valid and enforceable liens of record as of the date of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases as are listed on Schedule P-2, (y) the liens and replacement liens granted to the Pre-Petition Senior Lenders and (z) the Carve-Out, hereby assigns and conveys as security, grants a security interest in, hypothecates,

mortgages, pledges and sets over unto the DIP Lenders, all of the right, title and interest of such Borrower in all of such Collateral, including without limitation, all owned real property and all such leasehold interest, together in each case with all of the right, title and interest of such Borrower in and to all buildings, improvements, and fixtures related thereto, any lease or sublease thereof, all general intangibles relating thereto and all proceeds thereof. Each of the Borrowers acknowledges that, pursuant to the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable, the Liens granted in favor of the DIP Lenders in all of the Collateral shall be perfected without the recordation of any UCC financing statements, notice of Lien or other instruments of mortgage, deed of trust or assignment. Each of the Borrowers further agrees that if requested by the Required DIP Lenders, the Borrowers shall enter into separate security agreements, pledge agreements and fee and leasehold mortgages with respect to such Collateral on terms satisfactory to the Required DIP Lenders.

3. CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT.

3.1 Conditions Precedent to the Initial Extension of Credit. The obligation of each DIP Lender to make its initial extension of credit provided for hereunder, is subject to the fulfillment, to the satisfaction of each DIP Lender, of each of the conditions precedent set forth on Schedule 3.1 (the making of such initial extension of credit by a DIP Lender being conclusively deemed to be its satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent).

(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension of credit, nor shall either result from the making thereof;

The foregoing notwithstanding, the DIP Lenders, upon the election of the Required DIP Lenders, shall have the right to terminate their obligations under this DIP Loan Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1.

3.4 Effect of Termination. On the date of termination of this DIP Loan Agreement, all Obligations immediately shall become due and payable without notice or demand. No termination of this DIP Loan Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrowers of their duties, Obligations, or covenants hereunder or under any other Loan Document and the DIP Lenders’ Liens in the Collateral shall remain in effect until all Obligations have been paid in full and the DIP Lenders’ obligations to provide additional credit hereunder have been terminated. When this DIP Loan Agreement has been terminated and all of the Obligations have been paid in full and the DIP Lenders’ obligations to provide additional credit under the Loan Documents have been terminated irrevocably, the DIP Lenders will, at Borrowers’ sole expense, execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, mortgage releases, re-assignments of trademarks, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, the DIP Lenders’ Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by any DIP Lender with respect to the Obligations.

3.5 Early Termination by Borrowers. Borrowers have the option, at any time upon 10 days prior written notice by Administrative Borrower to each DIP Lender, to terminate this DIP Loan Agreement by paying to the DIP Lenders, in cash, the Obligations in full, on the date set forth as the date of termination of this DIP Loan Agreement in such notice.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default, the Required DIP Lenders (at their election but without notice of their election and without demand) may do any one or more of the following on behalf of the DIP Lenders, all of which are authorized by Borrowers:

(a) Declare all or any portion of the Obligations, whether evidenced by this DIP Loan Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable;

(b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrowers under this DIP Loan Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or under any other agreement between Borrowers and the DIP Lenders;

(c) Terminate this DIP Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as to any future liability or obligation of the DIP Lenders, but without affecting any of the DIP Lenders’ Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the Obligations; and

(d) The DIP Lenders shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Loan Document.

9.2 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the DIP Lenders under this DIP Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The DIP Lenders shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the DIP Lenders of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the DIP Lenders of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the DIP Lenders shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. In addition to all such rights and remedies, the DIP Lenders shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, by the DIP Lenders after an Event of Default may be for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and any DIP Lender may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such purchase price against the Obligations then owing. Any sales of the Collateral may be adjourned from time to time with or

without notice. The DIP Lenders shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Borrowers’ premises, at the Borrowers’ expense, or elsewhere, on such occasion or occasions as the DIP Lenders may see fit.

9.3 Entry Upon Premises and Access to Information. The DIP Lenders shall have the right (i) to cause the Collateral to remain on the Borrowers’ premises, without any obligation to pay rent, (ii) to enter upon the premises of the Borrowers or of any their Subsidiaries where the Collateral is located or any other place or places where the Collateral is believed to be located and kept, without any obligation to pay rent, to render the Collateral useable or saleable, or to remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of any DIP Lender or any agent of a DIP Lender, at the Borrowers’ expense, for such time as the Required DIP Lenders may desire in order effectively to collect or liquidate the Collateral, and (iii) to require the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the DIP Lenders at a place or places to be designated by the Required DIP Lenders; provided, however, that the automatic stay shall not be deemed vacated and modified with respect to the exercise by the DIP Lenders of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral following an Event of Default unless and until the Required DIP Lenders have given the Borrowers, the Office of the United States Trustee and the Committee three (3) Business Days’ prior notice of the DIP Lenders’ intention to exercise such remedies. Upon acceleration of the Obligations, the DIP Lenders shall have the right to take possession of the Borrowers’ original books and records, to obtain access to the Borrowers’ data processing equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and to use all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner the Required DIP Lenders deem appropriate; and the DIP Lenders shall have the right to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery of the Borrowers’ mail to an address designated by the Required DIP Lenders and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to the Borrowers and to take possession of all checks or other original remittances contained in such mail.

9.4 Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral by the DIP Lenders. Upon acceleration of the Obligations, any notice required to be given by the DIP Lenders of a sale, lease or other disposition or other intended action by the DIP Lenders with respect to any of the Collateral which is deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid and duly addressed to the Borrowers at the address specified herein, at least three (3) days prior to such proposed action, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to the Borrowers of any such action. The net proceeds realized by the DIP Lenders upon any such sale or other disposition, after deduction for the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, transporting, preparing for sale, selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral incurred by the DIP Lenders in connection therewith, shall be applied as provided herein toward satisfaction of the Obligations. The DIP Lenders shall account to the Borrowers for any surplus realized upon such sale or other disposition, and the Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable, or the rendering of any judgment or decree for any deficiency shall not affect the DIP Lenders’ Liens on the Collateral until the Obligations are fully paid. The Borrowers agree that no DIP Lender has any obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against any other Person. For the purpose of enabling the DIP Lenders to exercise their rights, powers and remedies under this Section 9 in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, at such time as the DIP Lenders shall be entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each DIP Lender is hereby granted a license, lease or other right to use, without charge, the Borrowers’ General Intangibles, Intellectual Property, Equipment, Fixtures and Real Property, whether part of the Collateral or not, including, without limitation, any patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names,

trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any other Property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale or lease and selling or leasing any Inventory or other Collateral and the Borrowers’ rights under all licenses, leases and franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of the DIP Lenders until all Obligations are paid in full.

9.5 Automatic Stay. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the automatic stay provided in section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed automatically vacated as to the DIP Lenders without further order of the Bankruptcy Court and the DIP Lenders shall be immediately permitted, to, inter alia, pursue any and all of their remedies against the Borrowers and/or the Collateral and seek payment in respect of all Obligations; provided, however, that the automatic stay shall not be deemed vacated and modified with respect to the exercise by the DIP Lenders of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral following an Event of Default unless and until the Required DIP Lenders have given the Borrowers, the Office of United States Trustee and the Committee two (2) Business Days’ prior notice of the DIP Lenders’ intention to exercise such remedies.

9.6 Waiver of Notice. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 9.3, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING OF ANY KIND PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY THE DIP LENDERS OF RIGHTS TO REPOSSESS THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS OR TO REPLEVY, ATTACH OR LEVY UPON THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING. THE BORROWERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO THIS TRANSACTION AND THIS DIP LOAN AGREEMENT.

10. TAXES AND EXPENSES.

10.1 Third Party Expenses. If any Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as and to the extent required under the terms of this DIP Loan Agreement, then, the Required DIP Lenders, in their sole discretion and without prior notice to any Borrower, may do any or all of the following, provided, however, that if any failure by any Borrower described above in this Section 10 does not constitute an Event of Default and occurs when there has not occurred any Event of Default which is continuing, then the Required DIP Lenders may do any or all of the following only if the Required DIP Lenders shall have given notice of such failure to Administrative Borrower and such failure is not cured within 5 Business Days after the date of such notice: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof or (b) in the case of the failure to comply with Section 5.8 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in Section 5.8 and take any action with respect to such policies as the Required DIP Lenders deem prudent. Any such amounts paid by any DIP Lender shall constitute DIP Lender Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by the DIP Lenders to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the DIP Lenders of any Event of Default under this DIP Loan Agreement. The DIP Lenders need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.

10.2 DIP Lender Expenses. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay all (a) out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the DIP Lenders (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and consultants) incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, including, without limitation, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the funding contemplated thereby and any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document and (b) out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the DIP Lenders (including all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and consultants) incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, including, without limitation, in connection with the administration and enforcement or protection of any of their rights and remedies under the loan documentation.

11. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION; RELEASE.

11.1 Demand; Protest; etc. Each Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor (other than any notice required under this DIP Loan Agreement), notice of payment and nonpayment (other than any notice required under this DIP Loan Agreement), nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the DIP Lenders on which any such Borrower may in any way be liable.

11.2 The DIP Lenders’ Liability for Collateral. Each Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as the DIP Lenders complies with its obligations, if any, under the UCC, the DIP Lenders shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.

11.3 Indemnification. Each Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the DIP Lender-Related Persons and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and consultants), joint or several, at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) arising out of or in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this DIP Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds hereof or in connection with the monitoring of Borrowers’ or their Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding or the preparation of any defense in connection therewith related to this DIP Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.3 applies, such indemnity shall be

effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrowers, any of their directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Person or any other person, or an Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrowers further agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort, or otherwise) to the Borrowers or any of their security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except for direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This provision shall survive the termination of this DIP Loan Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrowers were required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.1(c) hereof, from and after the date that Administrative Borrower notifies the assigning DIP Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a DIP Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning DIP Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 11.3 hereof) and be released from any future obligations under this DIP Loan Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning DIP Lender’s rights and obligations under this DIP Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such DIP Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall effect a novation between Borrowers and the Assignee; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning DIP Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this DIP Loan Agreement, including such assigning DIP Lender’s obligations under Article 16 and Section 17.7 of this DIP Loan Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 14.1 to the contrary, a DIP Lender may assign any or all of its rights hereunder to a Qualified Affiliate of such DIP Lender or a Qualified Related Fund of such DIP Lender without (i) providing any notice to any Person or (ii) delivering an executed Assignment and Acceptance to Administrative Borrower; provided, however, that (x) Borrowers may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning DIP Lender until an Assignment and Acceptance has been delivered to Administrative Borrower, (y) the failure of such assigning DIP Lender to deliver an Assignment and Acceptance to Administrative Borrower or any other Person shall not affect the legality, validity or binding effect of such assignment, and (z) an Assignment and Acceptance between an assigning DIP Lender and its Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund shall be effective as of the date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance.

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning DIP Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (1) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning DIP 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 DIP Loan Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (2) such assigning DIP Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility

with respect to the financial condition of Borrowers or the performance or observance by Borrowers of any of their obligations under this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (3) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this DIP Loan Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (4) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon such assigning DIP Lender or any other DIP 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 DIP Loan Agreement and (5) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this DIP Loan Agreement are required to be performed by it as a DIP Lender.

(e) Immediately upon Administrative Borrower’s receipt of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance (or, in the case of an assignment from a DIP Lender to one or more of its Qualified Affiliates or Qualified Related Funds pursuant to Section 14.1(c), upon the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance), this DIP Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning DIP Lender pro tanto.

(f) Any DIP Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, the Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that DIP Lender (the “Originating DIP Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the Originating DIP Lender shall remain a “DIP Lender” for all purposes of this DIP Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating DIP Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “DIP Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating DIP Lender’s obligations under this DIP Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating DIP Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers and the DIP Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating DIP Lender in connection with the Originating DIP Lender’s rights and obligations under this DIP Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Originating DIP Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this DIP Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such DIP Lender, or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal

repayments or prepayments or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such DIP Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this DIP Loan Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this DIP Loan Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a DIP Lender under this DIP Loan Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating DIP Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this DIP Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other DIP Lenders, Borrowers, the Collections of Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the DIP Lenders among themselves. The provisions of this Section 14.1(f) are solely for the benefit of the DIP Lenders, and Borrowers shall not have any rights as third party beneficiaries of any such provisions.

(g) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation, a DIP Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.7, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.

(h) Any other provision in this DIP Loan Agreement notwithstanding, any DIP Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this DIP Loan Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24 or any other Person and such Person may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law; provided, that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a DIP Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party (or any transferee thereof) for such DIP Lender as a party hereto unless such pledgee or secured party (or transferee) becomes a DIP Lender hereunder.

(i) The Administrative Borrower shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it shall enter the names and addresses of the DIP Lenders and the Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Term Loan (and stated interest thereon) owing to each DIP Lender from time to time. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 14.1(i), the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers and the DIP Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a DIP Lender hereunder for all purposes of this DIP Loan Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any DIP Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable notice. In the case of an assignment to a Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund pursuant to Section 14.1(c) as to which an Assignment and Acceptance is not delivered to Administrative Borrower, the assigning DIP Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register (the “Related Party Register”) comparable to the Register on behalf of Borrowers.

(j) 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 DIP Lenders and Borrowers 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(k) In the event that a DIP Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such DIP Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of the Registered Loan that is the subject of the participation (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.

(l) Notwithstanding anything contained in this DIP Loan Agreement to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no DIP Lender may assign or participate all or any portion of its Term Loan or Commitments or otherwise assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any Person organized under the laws of a Tier 3 or 4 Country absent prior review and approval by the DSS.

14.2 Successors. This DIP Loan Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrowers may not assign this DIP Loan Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the DIP Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the DIP Lenders shall release any Borrower from its Obligations. A DIP Lender may assign this DIP Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 14.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, no consent or approval by any Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.

15. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.

15.1 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrowers therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required DIP Lenders and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Borrowers) and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the DIP Lenders and Administrative Borrower (on behalf of all Borrowers), do any of the following:

(a) increase or extend any Commitment of any DIP Lender,

(b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document,

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document,

(d) change the Pro Rata Share that is required to take any action hereunder,

(e) amend or modify this Section or any provision of this DIP Loan Agreement providing for consent or other action by all DIP Lenders,

(f) other than as permitted by Section 16.12, release DIP Lenders’ Liens in and to any of the Collateral,

(g) change the definition of “Required DIP Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share,”

(h) contractually subordinate any of the DIP Lenders’ Liens,

(i) release any Borrower from any obligation for the payment of money,

(j) change the definition of Term Loan Amount, or Sections 2.1 or 2.4(b), or

(k) amend any of the provisions of Section 16.

The foregoing notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the DIP Lenders among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrowers, shall not require consent by or the agreement of Borrowers.

15.2 Replacement of Holdout DIP Lender.

(a) If any action to be taken by the DIP Lenders hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all DIP Lenders, and a DIP Lender (“Holdout DIP Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then the Required DIP Lenders, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout DIP Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout DIP Lender with one or more substitute DIP Lenders (each, a “Replacement DIP Lender”), and the Holdout DIP Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout DIP Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date such notice is given.

(b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout DIP Lender and each Replacement DIP Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout DIP Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout DIP Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of

such replacement, the Holdout DIP Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout DIP Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 14.1. Until such time as the Replacement DIP Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout DIP Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout DIP Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout DIP Lender’s Pro Rata Share of portions of the Term Loan.

15.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any DIP Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by any DIP Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by any DIP Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by any DIP Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish each DIP Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this DIP Loan Agreement. Each DIP Lender’s rights under this DIP Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that any DIP Lender may have.

16.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. No DIP Lender be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to such DIP Lenders and except with respect to Events of Default of which such DIP Lender has actual knowledge, unless such DIP Lender shall have received written notice from another DIP Lender or Administrative Borrower referring to this DIP Loan Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any DIP Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such DIP Lender promptly shall notify the other DIP Lenders of such Event of Default. Each DIP Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any.

16.6 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

16.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. The Required DIP Lenders may incur and pay DIP Lender Expenses to the extent the Required DIP Lenders reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of the DIP Lenders’ functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse the DIP Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this DIP Loan Agreement or otherwise. In the event any DIP Lender is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from the Collections of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries received by such DIP Lender, each DIP Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse such DIP Lender for the amount of such DIP Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. No DIP Lender shall be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting DIP Lender in failing to make any portion of the Term Loan or any other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each DIP Lender shall reimburse any other DIP Lender upon demand for such DIP Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and

expenses of attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by any DIP Lender in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this DIP Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such DIP Lender is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers and such expenses were incurred pursuant to the terms hereof. The undertaking in this Section 16.7 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder.

16.8 DIP Lender in Individual Capacity. Any DIP Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, hold obligations from, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such DIP Lender were not a DIP Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other DIP Lenders. The other DIP Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such DIP Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the DIP Lenders, and the DIP Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such DIP Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such DIP Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

16.9 Withholding Taxes.

(a) All payments made by any Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without set off, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required, each Borrower shall comply with the penultimate sentence of this Section 16.11(a), subject to receipt of the necessary forms from the DIP Lenders. “Taxes” shall mean, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein measured by or based on the net income or net profits of DIP Lender) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto. If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, each Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this DIP Loan Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16.11(a) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from such DIP Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Each Borrower will furnish to DIP Lender as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by any Borrower.

(b) (i) If a DIP Lender claims an exemption from United States withholding tax, such DIP Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower (or, in the case of an assignee of a DIP Lender which is (x) a Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund of such DIP Lender, and (y) for which an Assignment and Acceptance is not delivered to the Administrative

Borrower pursuant to Section 14.1(c), to the assigning DIP Lender only, and in the case of a participant, to the DIP Lender granting the participation only):

(A) if such DIP Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN before receiving its first payment under this DIP Loan Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable;

(B) if such DIP Lender claims that interest paid under this DIP Loan Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such DIP Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before receiving its first payment under this DIP Loan Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable; or

(C) such other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this DIP Loan Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable.

(ii) If a DIP Lender claims an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, such DIP Lender represents that such DIP Lender is not (x) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (y) a 10% shareholder of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (z) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC and such DIP Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower (or, in the case of an assignment to a Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund that is made pursuant to Section 14.1(c), to the assigning DIP Lender) a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, before receiving its first payment under this DIP Loan Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such DIP Lender may provide a form W-8IMY, where applicable, with appropriate forms attached thereto.

Each DIP Lender agrees promptly to notify Administrative Borrower or the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable, of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 16.11, no DIP Lender shall be required to deliver any form that such DIP Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(c) If a DIP Lender claims an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such DIP Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower (or, in the case of an assignee of a DIP Lender which is (x) a Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund of such DIP Lender, and (y) for which an Assignment and Acceptance is not delivered to the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 14.1(c), to the assigning DIP Lender only, and in the case of a participant, to the DIP Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this DIP Loan Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Borrower or the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable.

Each DIP Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Borrower or the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable, of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(d) If any DIP Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Borrowers may withhold from any interest payment to such DIP Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 16.11 are not delivered in accordance with such subsections, then the Borrowers or the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable, may withhold from any interest payment to such DIP Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

(e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Borrower or the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable, did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any DIP Lender due to a failure on the part of the DIP Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such DIP Lender failed to notify the proper Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such DIP Lender shall indemnify and hold the Administrative Borrower or the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable, harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Borrower or the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable, as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable by the Administrative Borrower or the assigning DIP Lender, as applicable, under this Section 16.11, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the DIP Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations.

16.10 Collateral Matters.

Each DIP Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Required DIP Lenders, at their option and in their sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Administrative Borrower certifies to the DIP Lenders that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 of this DIP Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and the Required DIP Lenders may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which no Borrower or its Subsidiaries owned any interest at the time the DIP Lenders’ Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to a Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this DIP Loan Agreement. Except as provided above, no DIP Lender will execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the DIP Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required DIP Lenders.

16.11 Restrictions on Actions by DIP Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the DIP Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of the Required DIP Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of the Required DIP Lenders, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such DIP Lender to Borrowers or any Deposit Accounts of Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such DIP Lender. Each of the DIP Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by the Required DIP Lenders, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) If, at any time or times any DIP Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set off, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such DIP Lender pursuant to the terms of this DIP Loan Agreement, or (ii) payments in excess of such DIP Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by the Borrower, such DIP Lender promptly shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other DIP Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the DIP Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

16.12 Agency for Perfection. Each DIP Lender hereby appoints each other DIP Lender as its agent (and each DIP Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the DIP Lenders’ Liens in assets notwithstanding perfection pursuant to the Interim Order or Final Order, as applicable, which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any DIP Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such DIP Lender shall notify each other DIP Lender thereof, and, promptly upon any DIP Lender’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to the other DIP Lenders, ratably in accordance with the DIP Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares.

16.16 Several Obligations; No Liability. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any DIP Lender any interest in, or subject any DIP Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other DIP Lender. Each DIP Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no DIP Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other DIP Lender. Except as provided in Section 16.7, no member of the DIP Lenders shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the DIP Lenders.

16.17 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

16.18 Disclosure of Classified Material.

(a) Borrowers and the DIP Lenders acknowledge that due to the nature of Borrowers’ business and their customers, certain items comprising the Collateral contain “classified” information and/or data (“Classified Material”) which may not be legally disclosed without proper authorization and/or security clearance (a “Security Clearance”). The DIP Lenders agree that to the extent any representation, warranty, or covenant of any Borrower or right or remedy of the DIP Lenders contained in this DIP Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents would otherwise require any Borrower to disclose Classified Material without a proper Security Clearance, such representation, warranty, covenant, right or remedy shall not apply with respect to obligations which would lead to such illegal disclosure; provided that any time a Borrower refuses, declines or otherwise fails to fulfill an obligation under this DIP Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents due to an invocation of this provision or the substance thereof, such Borrower shall promptly provide written notice to the DIP Lenders of that fact certifying that it has complied with its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to the fullest extent possible without illegally disclosing Classified Material and, upon the reasonable request of any DIP Lender, such Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to such DIP Lender that the requested items of Collateral or information are in fact “classified.”

(b) The DIP Lenders acknowledges that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no DIP Lender may assign or participate all or any portion of its Term Loan or Commitments or otherwise assign any or all of its rights hereunder to any Person organized under the laws of a Tier 3 or 4 Country absent prior review and approval by the DSS.

The DIP Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans shall be treated by the DIP Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by the DIP Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this DIP Loan Agreement, except: (a) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the DIP Lenders, (b) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the DIP Lenders, provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section 17.7, (c) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (d) as may be agreed to in advance by Administrative Borrower or its Subsidiaries or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, (e) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by the DIP Lenders), (f) in connection with any assignment, prospective assignment, sale, prospective sale, participation or prospective participations, or pledge or prospective pledge of any DIP Lender’s interest under this DIP Loan Agreement, provided that any such assignee, prospective assignee, purchaser, prospective purchaser, participant, prospective participant, pledgee, or prospective pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of this Section, and (g) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this DIP Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that, unless prohibited by applicable law, statute, regulation, or court order, such DIP Lender shall: (y) notify Administrative Borrower of any request by any court, governmental or administrative agency, or pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process for disclosure of any

The provisions of this Section 17.7 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

17.8 Integration. This DIP Loan 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.

17.9 Parent as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the DIP Lenders shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide the DIP Lenders with all notices with respect to portions of the Term Loan and all other notices and instructions under this DIP Loan Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain portions of the Term Loan and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this DIP Loan Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that the DIP Lenders shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the DIP Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the DIP Lenders and hold each member of the DIP Lenders harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the DIP Lenders by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, (b) the DIP Lenders’ relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the DIP Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant DIP Lender-Related Person under this Section 17.9 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such DIP Lender-Related Person, as the case may be.

17.10 Equitable Relief. The Borrowers recognize that, in the event the Borrowers fail to perform, observe or discharge any of their Obligations under this DIP Loan Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to any DIP Lender; therefor, the Borrowers agree that any DIP Lender, if such Person so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

17.11 The DIP Lenders as Parties in Interest. The Borrowers hereby stipulate and agree that each of the DIP Lenders are and shall remain parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases and shall have the right to participate, object and be heard in any motion or proceeding in connection therewith. Nothing in this DIP Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to be a waiver of any of the DIP Lenders’ rights or remedies under applicable law or

documentation. Without limitation of the foregoing, each of the DIP Lenders shall have the right to make any motion or raise any objection they deem to be in their interest (specifically including, but not limited to, objections to use of proceeds of the Loans, to payment of professional fees and expenses or the amount thereof, to sales or other transactions outside the ordinary course of business or to assumptions or rejection of any executory contract or lease).

17.12 Section 506(c) Waiver. In consideration of the Loans being made available to the Borrowers by the DIP Lenders, the Borrowers hereby agree not to assert and affirmatively waive any claim they otherwise might have under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and agree that the Collateral securing the Obligations to the DIP Lenders may be charged with costs or expenses only as provided for hereunder.

17.13 Waiver of Chapter 5 Claims. In consideration of the Loans being made available to the Borrowers by the DIP Lenders, the Borrowers hereby agree not to assert and hereby affirmatively waive any claim they may have under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code against the DIP Lenders in any form or manner whatsoever and affirmatively waive any right they may have to challenge the extent and validity of the Liens granted to the DIP Lenders pursuant to the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Loan Documents as security for the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Obligations and further release each DIP Lender from and affirmatively waive any and all other claims they may have against any DIP Lender from the beginning of time to the date hereof.

17.14 Reversal of Payments. To the extent the Borrowers make a payment or payments to the DIP Lenders or the DIP Lenders receive any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for the Borrowers’ benefit, which payment(s) or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations and the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received.

17.15 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

17.16 Acknowledgement of Security Interests. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that the Trustee, for the benefit of the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Lenders (including the DIP Lenders), has valid, enforceable and perfected second priority Liens on and security interests in all of the Primed Assets pursuant to the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Loan Documents as in effect on the Petition Date to secure all of the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Obligations.

17.17 Binding Effect of Documents. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge, confirm and agree that: (a) the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers that are parties thereto enforceable against them in accordance with their respective terms and the Borrowers have no valid defense, offset or counterclaim to the enforcement of such obligations (other than those arising as a consequence of the Chapter 11 Cases), and (b) the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Lenders (including the DIP Lenders) under the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Loan Documents are and shall be entitled to all of the rights, remedies and benefits provided for in the Pre-Petition Secured Notes Loan Documents (except to the extent that the exercise thereof is stayed pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code as a consequence of the Chapter 11 Cases).
