(ii) The Funds Administrator shall notify the Agent in writing of the names of the officers of the Funds Administrator authorized to request Loans on behalf of Borrowers and specifying which of those officers are also, or, if none are, the other officers that are, authorized to direct the disbursement of Loans in a manner contrary to standing disbursement instructions, and shall provide the Agent with a specimen signature of each such officer. In the absence of a specification of those officers who are authorized to vary standing disbursement instructions, the Agent may assume that each officer authorized to request Loans also has such authority. The Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the authority of such officers of the Funds Administrator to request Loans on behalf of Borrowers, or to vary standing disbursement instructions, until the Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Agent shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any Notice of Borrowing or other writing delivered pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to an oral or electronic E mail request for Loans, the Agent shall have no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself as one of the officers of the Funds Administrator authorized to make such request on behalf of Borrowers. Neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall incur any liability to the Funds Administrator or any of the Borrowers as a result of (A) acting upon any telephonic or electronic E mail notice referred to in this Section 2.2(a) if the Agent believes in good faith such notice to have been given by a duly authorized officer of the Funds Administrator or other individual authorized to request Loans on behalf of Borrowers or to direct the disbursement thereof in a manner contrary to standing disbursement instructions, or (B) otherwise acting in good faith under this Section 2.2(a) and an advance made and disbursed pursuant to any such telephonic or electronic E-mail notice shall be deemed to be a Loan for all purposes of this Credit Agreement.

(iii) In its Notice of Borrowing, the Funds Administrator may request one or more Borrowings on a single day. Each such Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Loans of the same Type and shall, in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, be in an aggregate amount for all Lenders of not less than $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. The right of the Funds Administrator to choose LIBOR Rate Loans is subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(c).

(b) (i) In the event Borrowers are unable to comply with (A) the Borrowing Base limitation set forth in the proviso to Section 2.1(a) or (B) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2 to a Credit Event, the Lenders authorize the Agent, in its sole discretion, to make Loans (“Interim Advances”) to Borrowers during the period commencing on the date the Agent first receives a Notice of Borrowing requesting an Interim Advance until the earliest of (1) the twentieth (20th) Business Day after such date, (2) the date Borrowers are again able to comply with such Borrowing Base limitation and conditions precedent, or obtains an amendment or waiver with respect thereto and (3) the date the Majority Lenders instruct the Agent, or the Agent determines, to cease making Interim Advances (in each case, the “Interim Advance Period”).

(ii) The Agent shall not, in any event, (A) make any Interim Advance during any Interim Advance Period if, after giving effect to such Interim Advance, Total Exposure would exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of Total Exposure on the first day of such Interim Advance Period (calculated without giving effect to Interim Advances made on such day) and (B) make any Interim Advance if, after giving effect to such Interim Advance, Total Exposure would exceed the Line of Credit.

(iii) All amounts received by the Agent during an Interim Advance Period on account of the Obligations, whether in the form of payments from any Borrower, collections on the Collateral or otherwise, shall, so long as any Interim Advances made during such Interim Advance Period are outstanding, be applied by the Agent, first, to the repayment of such Interim Advances and, second, in accordance with Section 2.5(c).

(c) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(d) In addition to being evidenced, as provided in Section 2.6, by Borrowers’ Accounts, each Lender’s Loans and Borrowers’ joint and several obligations to repay such Loans with interest in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by this Credit Agreement, the records of such Lender and such Lender’s Note. The records of each Lender shall be prima facie evidence of such Lender’s Loans and accrued interest thereon and of all payments made in respect thereof.

(e) Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Article 4, on outstanding Loans which it has funded to the Agent; provided that if any amount received by the Agent in respect of such interest and distributed by it is thereafter recovered from the Agent, such Lender shall, upon request, repay to the Agent its Proportionate Share of the amount so recovered to the extent received by it, but without interest (unless the Agent is required to pay interest on the amount recovered, in which case such Lender shall be required to pay interest at a like rate).

(f) Notwithstanding the obligation of the Funds Administrator to send written confirmation of a Notice of Borrowing made by telephone or electronic E mail transmission if and when requested by the Agent, in the event that the Agent agrees to accept a Notice of Borrowing made by telephone or electronic E mail transmission, such Notice of Borrowing shall be binding on the Funds Administrator and each Borrower whether or not written confirmation is sent by the Funds Administrator or requested by the Agent. The Agent may act prior to the receipt of any requested written confirmation, without any liability whatsoever, based upon telephonic or electronic E mail notice believed by the Agent in good faith to be from the Funds Administrator or its agents. The Agent’s records of the terms of any telephonic or electronic E mail transmission Notices of Borrowing shall be conclusive on the Funds Administrator, each Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent in connection therewith.

2.3 Settlements Among the Agent and the Lenders.

(a) Except as provided in Section 2.3(b), the Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of each Notice of Borrowing by telecopy or facsimile transmission. No later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) (i) with respect to Prime Rate Loans, on the date of receipt of each Notice of Borrowing requesting a Prime Rate Loan (unless such Notice of Borrowing specifies the Closing Date as the date of Borrowing, in which case no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Closing Date) and (ii) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, on the date for which a LIBOR Rate Loan has been requested, each Lender will make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, to the Agent at the address of the Agent set forth on Annex I, in immediately available funds, its Proportionate Share of such Borrowing requested to be made. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent its portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to the Agent on the Settlement Date and the Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may but shall not be obligated to make available the amount of the Borrowing to be provided by such Lender. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made available to the Agent its Proportionate Share on such date and the Agent shall have so made available to Borrowers a corresponding amount on behalf of such Lender, the Agent may recover such amount on demand from such Lender in accordance with Section 11.18. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount promptly upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent may promptly notify the Funds Administrator and Borrowers shall immediately repay such corresponding amount to the Agent together with accrued interest thereon at the applicable rate or rates provided in Sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.4.

(b) Unless the Majority Lenders have instructed the Agent to the contrary, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may but shall not be obligated to make Prime Rate Loans under Section 2.2 without prior notice of the proposed Borrowing to the Lenders, subject to the following settlement arrangements:

(i) The amount of each Lender’s Proportionate Share of Loans shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Loans as of 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of the period specified by the Agent (such date, the “Settlement Date”). The Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after the Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for such period. The Lenders shall transfer to the Agent, or, subject to Section 11.18(c)(i), the Agent shall transfer to the Lenders, such amounts as are necessary so that (after giving effect to all such transfers) the amount of Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement is received by the Lenders prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, each Lender shall make the transfers described above in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day such summary statement was received; and if such summary statement is received by the Lenders after 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such day, each Lender shall make such transfers no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Agent. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to xxxx its books and records on

the Settlement Date to show at all times the dollar amount of its Proportionate Share of the outstanding Loans.

(ii) To the extent that the settlement described above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of Loans by Borrowers, the Agent may first apply such amounts repaid directly to the amounts made available by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(b).

(iii) Because the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans prior to the time when the Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by the Agent to each Lender and the Agent in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.4 or actually settled by the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.3(b).

2.4 Mandatory Payment; Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Borrowers shall prepay first, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and then cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Obligations on any date on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Loans together with the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any other repayments or prepayments on such day) exceeds the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment then in effect, (y) the Borrowing Base then in effect and (z) prior to the Final Financing Order Date, the maximum amount of Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations permitted by the Interim Financing Order in the amount of such excess.

Agreement shall be terminated and (B) once reduced the amount of any such reductions in the Line of Credit may not be reinstated.

(iii) The amount by which Total Exposure exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time shall be immediately due and payable without the necessity of any notice or demand. Repayments of such excess amounts shall be applied, first, to the repayment of Loans, second, to the payment of outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect Letters of Credit, and, third, to the securing, with cash or Cash Equivalents as provided in the second paragraph of Section 9.2 (but without the requirement of any demand provided for in such paragraph), of the Letter of Credit Obligations (in each case to the extent the same are such by virtue of clause (a) of the definition thereof).

(c) Simultaneously with any Change of Control, the Commitments shall be reduced to zero and Borrowers shall prepay, in full, the outstanding principal amount of any outstanding Loans (and cash collateralize any outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations), together with all accrued interest, fees, and other expenses incurred by Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders as a result of such prepayment.

(d) On the Business Day on which any Asset Sale occurs which decreases the Eligible Inventory and/or Eligible Accounts Receivable amounts that are included in computation of the Borrowing Base, the Funds Administrator shall deliver to Agent a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared on a pro forma basis (a “Pro Forma Borrowing Base Certificate”) giving effect to such Asset Sale and setting forth the value of the Eligible Inventory and Eligible Accounts Receivables previously included in the Borrowing Base and disposed of in such Asset Sale. On such Business Day, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (i) if all of the conditions specified in Section 5.2 are met at such time, the amount by which the Total Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Base as reflected in such Pro Forma Borrowing Base Certificate or (ii) if any condition specified in Section 5.2 is not met at such time, the amount by which the Borrowing Base is reduced as a result of such Asset Sale as reflected in such Pro Forma Borrowing Base Certificate.

(e) If at any time the Available Cash Surplus exceeds $2,000,000 for any period of two (2) consecutive Business Days, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans at the close of such second Business Day in the amount of such excess.

The aggregate amount of the Financial Advisory Fee shall be reduced by the amounts paid in this Section 2.4(f) in connection therewith, and any unused portion of any reserves for such fee established pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) shall be paid to the Agent for application pursuant to this Section 2.4(f). All amounts deposited in a reserve in accordance with this Section 2.4(f) shall be effected in a

manner and pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent such that the Agent shall have a continuing first perfected security interest and lien in the excess (after taking into account the reserves) of such Net Sale Proceeds (subject to Senior Permitted Liens and the Carve-Out Reserve) until the same have been applied and reapplied as required by this Section 2.4(f).

(ii) Amounts payable by Borrowers in respect of any Letter of Credit should be made by Borrowers to the Agent until the Funds Administrator shall have received notice from the Agent that the Agent has received payments equal to the aggregate amount of all drawings thereunder, plus interest thereon from the date such drawings were disbursed at the L/C Interest Rate.

(b) (i) Borrowers shall have established and shall maintain, at one or more financial institutions, one or more lockboxes (with respect to each Borrower, such Borrower’s “Lockboxes”) and depository accounts (“Depository Accounts”) and shall instruct all account debtors on the Accounts of such Borrower to remit all payments to such Borrower’s Lockboxes or Depository Accounts; provided, however, it shall be permissible for Borrowers to maintain a consolidated Lockbox or Depository Account. Each Borrower, the Agent and DBTCo. shall have entered into a Control Agreement providing, among other things, that all receipts in the Lockboxes or Depository Accounts, as applicable, shall be transferred by the end of each day to one of the Credit Parties’ concentration accounts at DBTCo. (each, a “Concentration Account”). All amounts received by any Borrower from any account debtor, shall following receipt, be deposited into a Concentration Account.

(ii) The closing of any Lockbox, Depository Account or Concentration Account and the termination of any related account agreement shall require in each case the prior written consent of the Agent which will not be unreasonably withheld.

(c) (i) Except as set forth in Section 9.5, all amounts received by the Agent for distribution hereunder shall, subject to Section 2.2(b)(iii), be distributed in the following order and, if to Lenders, according to each Lender’s Proportionate Share with respect to each category set forth below:

first, to the payment of any Fees, Expenses or other Obligations due and payable to the Agent under any of the Credit Documents, including

amounts advanced by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3(b);

second, to the ratable payment of any Fees and other Obligations due and payable to the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, other than to a Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank and other than those Obligations specifically referred to in this Section 2.5(c)(i).

third, to the ratable payment of interest due on the Loans;

fourth, to the ratable payment of principal due on the Loans;

fifth, to the ratable payment of other Liabilities not specifically referred to in this Section 2.5(c) due and payable to the Lenders (in their capacities as such, and not in their capacity as an Issuing Bank) under the Credit Documents; and

sixth, to the ratable payment of other Liabilities not specifically referred to in this Section 2.5(c) due and payable to the Issuing Banks under L/C Applications and Letters of Credit.

(ii) Each Person receiving a payment from the Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(c)(i) shall, for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and other Credit Documents, be deemed to have applied that payment in the order specified in Section 2.5(c)(i).

2.6 Maintenance of Account. The Agent shall maintain a separate account on its books and records in the name of the Funds Administrator (the “Borrowers’ Accounts”) in which each Borrower will be charged or credited with (a) the proceeds, if any, of each Loan received by or for the account of such Borrower, (b) payments made to the Agent on account of the Obligations of such Borrower, whether from collection of proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, (c) the aggregate face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or an appropriate allocation thereof, if the Letters of Credit are issued for the direct benefit of more than one Borrower) issued for the benefit of such Borrower, and (d) all other Fees, Expenses and other Obligations attributable to such Borrower as determined by Agent. The Agent will use its best efforts to give the Funds Administrator three (3) days advance notice of such Fees, Expenses and other Obligations in reasonable detail, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability of the Agent or affect any of the Agent’s rights hereunder. In no event shall prior recourse to any Accounts or other Collateral be a prerequisite to the Agent’s right to demand payment of any Obligation upon its maturity.

2.7 Statement of Account. After the end of each month, the Agent shall send the Funds Administrator a statement accounting for the charges, loans, advances and other transactions occurring among and between the Agent, the Lenders, the Funds Administrator and Borrowers during that month. The monthly statements shall, absent manifest error, be an account stated, which is final, conclusive and binding on Borrowers; provided that any failure to so record any transaction or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations.

2.8 Withholding and Other Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Borrowers hereunder, under the Notes or in respect of Letters of Credit which are made to or for the benefit of any Lender (whether in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank, and as used in this Section 2.8, the term “Lender” shall mean a Lender in each such capacity, and shall also include each Serving Affiliate of such Lender) or the Agent shall be made, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and penalties, interests and all other liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), excluding, (i) in the case of each such Lender or the Agent, Taxes imposed on its net income (including any Taxes imposed on branch profits) and franchise taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender, or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) in the case of each such Lender, Taxes imposed on its net income (including any Taxes imposed on branch profits) and franchise Taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (iii) in the case of any Foreign Lender, any Taxes that are in effect and that would apply to a payment hereunder, under the Notes or in respect of Letters of Credit made to such Foreign Lender as of the Closing Date, and (iv) if any Person acquires any interest in this Credit Agreement, any Note or any L/C Participation pursuant to the provisions hereof, or a Lender or the Agent changes the office in which any Loan or any L/C Participation is made, accounted for or booked, to an office outside the United States, or a Lender if an Issuing Bank, changes the office at which any Letter of Credit is maintained to an office outside the United States (any such Person, or such Lender or the Agent in that event, being referred to as a "Tax Transferee”), any Taxes to the extent that they are in effect and would apply to a payment to such Tax Transferee as of the date of the acquisition of such interest or change in office, as the case may be, except to the extent Covered Taxes (as defined below) would have resulted from such payments made hereunder, under the Notes or in respect of Letters of Credit made to a Lender or the Agent immediately prior to such acquisition of such interest or such change in office (all such nonexcluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Covered Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Covered Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, under any Note or in respect of any Letter of Credit to or for the benefit of any Lender, the Agent or any Tax Transferee, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings of Covered Taxes (including deductions or withholdings of Covered Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.8) such Lender, the Agent or such Tax Transferee, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (B) such Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings and (C) such Borrower shall pay the full amount so deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, privilege, property, intangible or similar levies that arise at any time or from time to time (i) from any payment made under any and all Credit Documents, (ii) from the transfer of the rights of any Lender under any Credit Documents to any transferee or (iii) from the execution or delivery by the Funds Administrator or any Borrower of, or from the filing or recording or maintenance of, or otherwise with respect to the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of their rights under, any and all Credit Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Borrowers will jointly and severally indemnify each Lender, the Agent, and any Tax Transferee for the full amount of (i) Covered Taxes imposed on or with respect to amounts payable hereunder, under any Note or in respect of any Letter of Credit, (ii) Other Taxes and (iii) any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.8, paid by such Lender, the Agent or such Tax Transferee, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing or other Governmental Authority. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date such Lender, the Agent or such Tax Transferee certifies and sets forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof as to the amount and type of such Taxes. Any such certificate submitted by such Lender, the Agent or such Tax Transferee in good faith to the Funds Administrator shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all parties.

(d) Within 60 days after the date of payment of any Covered Taxes or Other Taxes, the Funds Administrator will furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.5, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) On or before the Closing Date, each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Agent and the Funds Administrator (i) two valid, duly completed copies of IRS Form W 8BEN or W 8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, and any other required form, certifying in each case that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any Letter of Credit payable to it without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or with such withholding imposed at a reduced rate (the “Reduced Rate”) and (ii) a valid, duly completed IRS Form W 8BEN or W 9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each such Foreign Lender shall also deliver to the Agent and the Funds Administrator two further copies of said Forms or other manner of required certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or otherwise is required to be resubmitted as a condition to obtaining an exemption from a required withholding of United States federal income tax or entitlement to having such withholding imposed at the Reduced Rate or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Funds Administrator and the Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Funds Administrator and the Agent, certifying (A) in the case of a Form W 8BEN or W 8ECI, that such Foreign Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any Letter of Credit payable to it without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or with such withholding imposed at a Reduced Rate, unless in any such case any change in a tax treaty to which the United States is a party, or any change in law or regulation of the United States or official interpretation thereof has occurred after the Closing Date and prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would prevent such Foreign Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, and such Foreign Lender advises the Funds Administrator and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax or with such withholding at the Reduced Rate, as the case may be, or (B) in the case of a Form W 8BEN or W 9, or otherwise establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

(f) If a Tax Transferee that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States acquires an interest in this Credit Agreement or any Note or L/C Participation or a Lender changes the office through which Loans or any L/C Participation are made, accounted for or booked, to an office outside the United States or a Foreign Lender if an Issuing Bank, changes the office at which any Letter of Credit is maintained to an office outside the United States, the transferor, or the applicable Lender, in the case of a change of office, shall cause such Tax Transferee to agree that, on or prior to the effective date of such acquisition or change, as the case may be, it will deliver to the Funds Administrator and the Agent (i) two valid, duly completed copies of IRS Form W 8BEN or W 8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, and any other required form, certifying in each case that such Tax Transferee is entitled to receive payments under this Credit Agreement, the Notes and any Letter of Credit payable to it without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax or with such withholding imposed at a Reduced Rate and (ii) a valid, duly completed IRS Form W 8BEN or W 9 or successor applicable form, as the case may be, to establish an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Tax Transferee further undertakes to deliver two further copies of the said Forms or other manner of required certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or otherwise is required to be resubmitted as a condition to obtaining an exemption from a required withholding of United States federal income tax or entitlement to having such withholding imposed at the Reduced Rate or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Funds Administrator and the Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Funds Administrator and the Agent, certifying (A) in the case of a Form W 8BEN or W 8ECI that such Tax Transferee is entitled to receive payments under this Credit Agreement, the Notes and any Letter of Credit without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or with such withholding imposed at the Reduced Rate, unless any change in treaty, law or regulation or official interpretation thereof has occurred after the effective date of such acquisition or change and prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would prevent such Tax Transferee from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, and such Tax Transferee advises the Funds Administrator and the Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax or with such withholding at the Reduced Rate, as the case may be, or (B) in the case of a Form W 8BEN or W 9, or otherwise establishing an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

(g) If any Taxes for which any Borrower would be required to make payment under this Section 2.8 are imposed, the applicable Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, shall use its best efforts to avoid or reduce such Taxes by taking any appropriate action (including assigning its rights hereunder to a related entity or a different office) which would not in the sole opinion of such Lender or the Agent be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be.

(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrowers contained in this Section 2.8 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

(i) Each Lender shall cause each of its Serving Affiliates that is a Foreign Lender to take the actions required to be taken by such Serving Affiliate as a Foreign Lender under Sections 2.8(e), (f) and (g).

2.9 Affected Lenders. If any Borrower is obligated to pay to any Lender (whether in its capacity as a Lender or an Issuing Bank) or any Serving Affiliate of such Lender any amount under Sections 2.8 or 4.9, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Borrowers may, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, replace such Lender or Serving Affiliate with another lender reasonably acceptable to the Agent, and such Lender hereby agrees to be so replaced or to cause such Serving Affiliate to be replaced, subject to the following:

(a) (i) The obligations of Borrowers hereunder to the Lender to be replaced (in its capacity as a Lender, and including such increased or additional costs incurred from the date of notice to the Funds Administrator of such increase or additional costs through the date such Lender is replaced hereunder) shall be paid in full to such Lender concurrently with such replacement; and

(ii) the obligations of Borrowers hereunder to the Lender to be replaced in its capacity as an Issuing Bank, or to its Serving Affiliate in such capacity, shall continue until (A) each Letter of Credit issued by that Person has expired or been drawn in full, (B) all outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, together with interest thereon at the L/C Interest Rate, shall have been paid in full, and (C) all Liabilities under each L/C Application, to the extent due, have been paid in full and, to the extent not due, been secured to the satisfaction of such Person, to the extent due, have been paid in full and, to the extent not due, been secured to the satisfaction of such Person.

(b) If such replacement is a result of increased costs under Sections 2.8 or 4.9, the replacement Lender shall be a bank or other financial institution that is not subject to such increased costs which caused Borrowers’ election to replace any Lender hereunder, and each such replacement Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent such documentation satisfactory to the Agent pursuant to which such replacement Lender is to become a party hereto, conforming to the provisions of Section 11.6, with a Commitment equal to that of the Lender being replaced and shall make Loans in the aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans of the Lender being replaced;

(c) Upon such execution of such documents referred to in clause (b) and repayment of the amounts referred to in clause (a), the replacement lender shall be a “Lender” with a Commitment as specified herein above and the Lender being replaced shall cease to be a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Credit Agreement, which shall survive as to such replaced Lender and except to the extent such Lender continues to be an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii);

(d) The Agent shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of any Lender under this Section 2.9, but at no time shall the Agent be obligated to initiate any such replacement;

(e) Any Lender replaced under this Section 2.9 shall be replaced at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent or any of the Lenders; and

(f) If Borrowers propose to replace any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9 because the Lender seeks reimbursement under either Section 2.8 or 4.9, then it must also replace any other Lender who seeks similar levels of reimbursement (as a percentage of such Lender’s Commitment) under such Sections.

2.10 Sharing of Payments. (a) (i) If any Lender (including a Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank) shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, and whether through the exercise of any right of set-off by virtue of its claim in any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding being deemed secured by a Liability owed by it to any Credit Party, including a claim deemed secured under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) (each a “Payment”), on account of (A) the Loans made by it, (B) its L/C Participations or (C) any of the other Obligations due and payable to it in excess of its Proportionate Share of payments on account of the Loans or L/C Participations or such other Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, in their participation in Letters of Credit or their other such Obligations as shall be then due and payable as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; however, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (1) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (2) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect to the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 2.10, the unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank shall be deemed to constitute “Loans” made by such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank agrees that it shall apply all Payments received by it in its capacity as an Issuing Bank to the payment or the collateralization of the Liabilities of Borrowers to it that constitute unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit issued by it before applying them to any other Liabilities due it.

(b) If an Issuing Bank is an Affiliate of a Lender, such Lender shall cause such Affiliate to comply with the provisions of Section 2.10(a) as fully as though such Affiliate were a Lender subject to such section.

2.11 Superpriority Nature of Obligations; Priming Lien.

(a) The Obligations shall be secured by Liens in the Collateral under Sections 364(c)(2) and (d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, senior to all other Liens other than (i) Permitted Senior Liens, (ii) the Carve-Out Reserve, and (iii) pari passu Liens in the Collateral securing the Approved Secured Derivative Transaction Liabilities. The Obligations shall also be secured by Liens pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Collateral junior to Permitted Senior Liens.

(b) The Obligations shall have the status in the Chapter 11 Cases of superpriority administrative expenses under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. Subject to the Carve-Out Reserve (as defined in Section 2.11(c) below), such administrative claim shall have priority over all other claims, costs and expenses of the kinds specified in, or ordered pursuant to, Sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c) (subject to entry of the Final Financing Order), 507(a), 507(b), 726, 1113, 1114 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code and shall at all times be senior to the rights of any Credit Party, any Credit Party’s estate, and any successor trustee or estate representative in the Chapter 11 Cases or any subsequent proceeding or case under the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) Agent’s Liens on the Collateral under Sections 364(c)(2), (c)(3) and (d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and the superpriority administrative claim under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code afforded the Obligations shall be subject only to the following (the “Carve-Out Reserve”): (a) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee under section 1930(a) of title 28 of the United States Code plus interest at the statutory rate, and (b) following notice to the Funds Administrator, its counsel (in accordance with the notice procedures in Section 11.5) and to counsel for any official committee by the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the payment of accrued and unpaid professional fees and expenses incurred by the Credit Parties and any official committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases and allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, in an aggregate amount not exceeding $2,500,000 (plus all unpaid professional fees and expenses allowed by the Bankruptcy Court incurred prior to delivery of the notice referred to in this clause (b) at any time) (the “Professional Carve-out Reserve”), provided that (i) the Carve-Out Reserve shall not be available to pay any such professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with the initiation or prosecution of any claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings or other litigation against any agent or lender under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement, or any of the Lenders or Agent under this Agreement (collectively, “Excluded Actions”), (ii) so long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Carve-Out Reserve shall not be reduced by the payment of fees and expenses allowed by the Bankruptcy Court and payable under Sections 328, 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) nothing herein shall impair the right of any party to object to the reasonableness of any such fees or expenses to be paid by the estates of the Credit Parties.

Subject to the provisions of the Financing Orders and this Section 2.11, the Credit Parties shall be permitted to pay as the same may become due and payable (i) administrative expenses of the kind specified in Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code incurred in the ordinary course of their businesses, (ii) compensation and reimbursement of expenses to professionals allowed or otherwise permitted to be paid by the Bankruptcy Court and payable under Sections 330 and 331 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) any other Pre-Petition or Post-Petition expenses of the Credit

Parties, including adequate protection payments, to the extent approved by the Bankruptcy Court and not otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents. Except for the Carve-Out Reserve, no costs or expenses of administration shall be imposed against Agent, Lenders or any of the Collateral under Sections 105, 506(c) or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, and, subject to entry of the Final Financing Order, Borrowers and each of the other Credit Parties hereby waives, for itself and on behalf of its estate in bankruptcy, any and all rights under Sections 105, 506(c) or 552, or otherwise, to assert or impose or seek to assert or impose, any such costs or expenses of administration against Agent or the Lenders.

2.12 Waiver of any Priming Rights. Upon the Effective Date, and on behalf of themselves and their estates, and for so long as any Obligation shall be outstanding, each Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives any right, pursuant to Sections 364(c) and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, to grant any Lien of equal or greater priority than the Liens securing the Obligations or to approve a claim of equal or greater priority than the Obligations.

2.13 Payment of Obligations. Upon the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of any of the Obligations under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations without further application to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, subject to Required Notice under Section 9.3.

2.14 No Discharge; Survival of Claims. Each of the Credit Parties agrees that (a) the Obligations hereunder shall not be discharged by the entry of an order confirming a Reorganization Plan in any Chapter 11 Case (and each of the Credit Parties, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge) and (b) the superpriority administrative claims granted to Agent and Lenders pursuant to the Interim Financing Order and Final Financing Order and described in Section 2.8, and the Liens granted to Agent pursuant to the Financing Orders and the other Security Documents and described in Section 2.8, shall not be affected in any manner by the entry of an order confirming a Reorganization Plan in any Chapter 11 Case.

ARTICLE III

LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) Prior to the Closing Date, Letters of Credit (as such term is defined in the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement; such letters of credit are listed on Schedule B, Part 3.1 and are hereinafter referred to as the “Original Letters of Credit”) were issued by DBTCo on behalf of Borrowers from time to time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Credit Agreement, such outstanding Original Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit under this Credit Agreement from and after the Closing Date as fully as if such outstanding Original Letters of Credit had been issued under this Credit Agreement and shall henceforth be governed by the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement in all respects. The Funds Administrator may from time to time request the Agent to direct an Issuing Bank to issue a Letter of Credit for the account of a Borrower. All such Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars. No such request shall be granted if, after such issuance:

(i) (A) Total Exposure would exceed the lesser of (1) the Line of Credit and (2) the Borrowing Base or (B) Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed $40,000,000 or (C) any Lender’s Exposure would exceed its Commitment;

(ii) (A) (1) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall enjoin or restrain such Borrower from procuring, such Issuing Bank from issuing, or a Lender from acquiring an L/C Participation in, such Letter of Credit, or (2) any Requirement of Law applicable to such Borrower, such Issuing Bank or a Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Borrower, such Issuing Bank or a Lender shall prohibit, or request that, any such Person refrain from procuring, issuing or acquiring an L/C Participation in, such Letter of Credit, as applicable, or, from performing its obligations under such Letter of Credit or its L/C Participation thereunder, as applicable;

(B) any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or a Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank or a Lender shall impose upon such Issuing Bank or such Lender (1) any restriction or reserve or capital requirement or (2) any cost or expense with respect to, in the case of such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit and, in the case of such Lender, such L/C Participation (for which such Issuing Bank or such Lender shall not otherwise be compensated) not in effect as of the Closing Date, and which such Issuing Bank or such Lender deems in good faith to be material to it;

(iii) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Agent and Issuing Bank have entered into satisfactory arrangements with Borrowers to eliminate the Agent’s and such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Lender, including cash collateralization of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of Letter of Credit Obligations; or

(iv) Agent has determined that any of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 shall not be satisfied.

(b) The Agent may assume, as to any Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, that none of the conditions specified in Section 3.1(a) are applicable as to such Person, unless the Agent shall have received a notice from such Person specifically entitled “Notice under Section 3.1(a),” specifying the condition or conditions that are applicable to such Person. Any such notice shall continue in effect until the Agent shall have received from the Person originally sending such notice a subsequent notice, entitled “Revocation of Notice under Section 3.1(a),” stating that the condition or conditions specified in such Person’s earlier notice are no longer applicable.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance. (a) The Funds Administrator may from time to time request the Agent to direct the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Agent, with a copy to the applicable Issuing Bank, a Letter of Credit Request in the form of Exhibit C-2 to this Credit Agreement (a “Letter of Credit Request”), not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank) in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Prior to date of

issuance or in conjunction with the submission of a Letter of Credit Request, the Funds Administrator shall provide to the Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank a precise description of the format of the Letter of Credit or information and documents adequate to allow for the Issuing Bank to prepare the requested Letter of Credit and shall specify that the only drawings permitted under the Letter of Credit shall be sight drawings. The Issuing Bank shall not issue any Letter of Credit until it has received authorization to do so from the Agent. Promptly after the issuance or amendment of any standby Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and the Funds Administrator, in writing, of such issuance or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance and amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender the Agent shall provide such Lender with copies of such issuance or amendment. With regards to commercial Letters of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall on the first Business Day of each week, provide to the Agent by facsimile a report detailing the daily aggregate outstanding commercial Letters of Credit for the previous week.

(b) The transmittal by the Funds Administrator of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made by each of the Borrowers, both at the time of such transmittal and at the time of the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit, that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with and will not violate any of the requirements of Section 3.1.

3.3 Terms of Letters of Credit. The Agent shall not direct the issuance of any Letter of Credit unless:

(a) if it is a standby Letter of Credit, its term does not exceed one year from the date of issuance (except that any such Letter of Credit may provide for annual renewals on terms reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Bank);

(b) if it is a commercial Letter of Credit, its term does not exceed 120 days;

(c) in the case of any Letter of Credit, it expires no later than thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date.

(d) Each Letter of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder shall have an expiration date of not later than 365 days after the Closing Date.

(e) If the Facility Termination Date occurs prior to the expiration date of any outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall either (i) make arrangements satisfactory to Issuing Bank with respect to a back-up letter of credit or the assumption of the outstanding Letters of Credit by the lenders under any exit facility or (ii) deliver cash in an amount equal to 105% of the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to Issuing Bank to be held by and deposited in an account in the name of Issuing Bank as cash collateral for the payment and performance of all Letter of Credit Obligations. Issuing Bank shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Monies in such account shall automatically be applied by Issuing Bank to reimburse Issuing Bank for Unpaid Drawings for which Issuing Bank has not been reimbursed, and any remaining amounts will either (A) be held for the satisfaction of the Letter of Credit Obligations of Borrowers at such time or (B) if the

maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy all Letter of Credit Obligations as such Letter of Credit Obligations become due and payable.

3.4 Lenders’ Participation. (a) Immediately upon issuance by any Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally acquired from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such Lender’s Proportionate Share, in such Issuing Bank’s rights to be paid the principal amount of, together with interest accrued on, drawings under such Letter of Credit and in any security therefor or Guaranty pertaining thereto.

(b) (i) Each Issuing Bank shall remit to the Agent, for the account of each Lender such Lender’s Proportionate Share of each payment of principal and interest (to the extent such interest does not exceed the L/C Interest Rate) received by such Issuing Bank on account of any drawing under such Letter of Credit (A) with respect to which such Issuing Bank has delivered an L/C Notice of Drawing to the Agent during a Bankruptcy Default and (B) that is received by such Issuing Bank on or after the date of such L/C Notice of Drawing; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by any Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Bank, such Lender shall return to such Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by it to the Agent, but without interest thereon (unless such Issuing Bank is required to pay interest on the amount returned, in which case such Lender shall be required to pay interest at the same rate).

(ii) (A) Payments required to be made by any Issuing Bank to the Agent for the account of a Lender, together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 3.4(b)(ii)(B), shall be made to the Agent, if the amount in respect of which the payment is to be made to the Agent is received by such Issuing Bank on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) of such Issuing Bank’s time on a Business Day, on the day received and, if received after such time, on or before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) of such Issuing Bank’s time, on the next succeeding Business Day.

(B) Interest shall be payable by each Issuing Bank on amounts required to be paid by it to the Agent pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(ii)(A) from the date such payments are due until such amounts are paid in full at, for the first three Business Days, the Federal Funds Rate, and, thereafter, the Prime Lending Rate.

3.5 Maturity of Drawings; Interest Thereon. (a) Drawings under any Letter of Credit shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained therein, mature and become due and payable, and shall be repaid to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank by Borrowers in full, together with interest accrued thereon, from the date and at the rate specified in Section 3.5(b), on the Effective Date of the L/C Notice of Drawing in respect of such drawing.

(b) Borrowers shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Letter of Credit, pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of each drawing under such Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 4.2 (the “L/C Interest Rate”) from the date such drawing is disbursed by the applicable Issuing Bank to the date such drawing is reimbursed by Borrowers. Interest on each such drawing shall be payable when such

drawing shall be due (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) and, prior to such time, on demand.

3.6 Payment of Amounts Drawn Under Letters of Credit. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may deliver an L/C Notice of Drawing to the Agent and the Agent shall treat each L/C Notice of Drawing on its Effective Date as a Notice of Borrowing requesting Prime Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to the amount of such drawing plus interest on the amount of such drawing at the L/C Interest Rate from the day such drawing was disbursed until the date of such L/C Notice of Drawing (unless such drawing was disbursed and repaid on the same day, in which case interest shall be payable for such day); and each such L/C Notice of Drawing shall have the same force and effect as a Notice of Borrowing given by the Funds Administrator for and on behalf of Borrowers, except that the conditions to borrowing specified in Section 2.2 and Section 5.2 shall not apply.

3.7 Nature of Issuing Bank’s Duties. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank issuing such Letter of Credit shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. As between Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and each Lender, Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of any Issuing Bank, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the respective beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither any Issuing Bank, the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible (a) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (b) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (c) for failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to strictly comply with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, (d) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher, (e) for errors in interpretation of technical terms, (f) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of an document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof and (g) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing honored under such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall not create any liability on the part of the Agent or any Lender to any Borrower.

3.8 Obligations Absolute. The joint and several obligations of Borrowers to reimburse each Issuing Bank for drawings honored under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, together with interest as herein provided, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 3.6 shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, without any reduction or deduction whatsoever, including any reduction or deduction for any set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, under all circumstances including the following circumstances:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(b) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the applicable Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction;

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

(d) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents;

(e) payment by the applicable Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to any Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof);

(f) failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing; or

(g) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided that no payment by a Borrower or a Lender to any Issuing Bank shall constitute a waiver or release by such Borrower or such Lender of any right it may have against such Issuing Bank, including, in the case of a Borrower, a claim that such Issuing Bank acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

ARTICLE IV

INTEREST, FEES AND EXPENSES

4.1 Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4, each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on its unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan, at the date of Conversion of such LIBOR Rate Loan (or a portion thereof) to a Prime Rate Loan and at maturity of such LIBOR Rate Loan, and after maturity of such LIBOR Rate Loan (whether by acceleration or otherwise), upon demand. The Agent upon determining the Adjusted LIBOR

Rate for any Interest Period shall promptly notify the Funds Administrator and the Lenders by telephone (confirmed promptly in writing) or in writing thereof. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

4.2 Interest on Prime Rate Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4, each Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest on its unpaid principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Lending Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Such interest shall be payable monthly, in arrears, as of the last day of each calendar month, at the date of conversion of such Prime Rate Loan (or a portion thereof) to a LIBOR Rate Loan and at maturity of such Prime Rate Loan, and after maturity of such Prime Rate Loan (whether by acceleration or otherwise), upon demand. In the event of any change in said Prime Lending Rate, the rate hereunder shall change, effective as of the day the Prime Lending Rate changes. Each determination by the Agent of any interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

4.3 Notice of Continuation and Notice of Conversion.

(a) With respect to any Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrowers may (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(c)), elect to maintain such Borrowing or any portion thereof as consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans by selecting a new Interest Period for such Borrowing, which new Interest Period shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period (a “Continuation”) shall be made by notice given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation relating to LIBOR Rate Loans, by the Funds Administrator to the Agent. Such notice by the Funds Administrator of a Continuation (a "Notice of Continuation”) shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1, specifying (i) the date of such Continuation, (ii) the aggregate amount of Loans subject to such Continuation and (iii) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Borrowers may elect to continue more than one Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans by combining such Borrowings into one Borrowing and selecting a new Interest Period pursuant to this Section 4.3(a); provided that each of the Borrowings so combined shall consist of Loans having Interest Periods ending on the same date. If Borrowers shall fail to select a new Interest Period for any Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with this Section 4.3(a), such Loans will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Prime Rate Loans.

(b) Borrowers may on any Business Day (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), upon notice (each such notice, a “Notice of Conversion”) given by the Funds Administrator to the Agent, and subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(c), Convert the entire amount of or a portion of all Loans of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Loans of another Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loans into Loans of another Type shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans and, upon Conversion of any Loans into Loans of another Type, Borrowers shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount Converted. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 12:00 Noon

(New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Prime Rate Loans and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Rate Loans. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1 hereto specifying (i) the requested date of such Conversion, (ii) the Type of Loans to be Converted, (iii) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (iv) the Type of Loan such Loans are to be Converted into and (v) if such Conversion is into LIBOR Rate Loans, the duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Conversion shall be in an aggregate amount for the Loans of all Lenders of not less than $2,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Borrowers may elect to Convert the entire amount of or a portion of all Loans of one Type comprising more than one Borrowing into Loans of another Type by combining such Borrowings into one Borrowing consisting of Loans of another Type; provided that if the Borrowings so combined consist of LIBOR Rate Loans, such Loans shall have Interest Periods ending on the same date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in subsections (a) and (b) above or elsewhere in this Credit Agreement to the contrary,

(i) (A) if the Agent is unable to determine the LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Rate Loans comprising any requested Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion, the right of Borrowers to select or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans for such Borrowing or any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Funds Administrator and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Loan comprising such Borrowing shall be a Loan of a Type that is unaffected by such circumstances, as selected by Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement;

(B) if a Lender shall, at any time, notify the Agent that, because of a change in applicable law after the date such Lender became a Lender, it has become unlawful for such Lender to participate in any requested Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans, to continue its LIBOR Rate Loans, or to comply with its obligations hereunder in respect thereof, that Lender’s obligation to participate in any such requested Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion shall be discharged by such Lender’s making its participation therein in the form of a Prime Rate Loan, and any of such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans not otherwise being Converted shall be Converted into Prime Rate Loans on the earlier of (1) the last day of the applicable Interest Period and (2) the last day such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, provided that any Prime Rate Loan that, but for this clause (B), would have been a LIBOR Rate Loan shall constitute part of the Borrowing of which any such LIBOR Rate Loan was or would have been a part;

(ii) if the Majority Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, Continuation or Conversion, notify the Agent that the LIBOR Rate for Loans comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or funding their respective Loans for such Borrowing, the right of Borrowers to select LIBOR Rate Loans for such Borrowing shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Funds Administrator and the Lenders that the circumstances

causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Loan comprising such Borrowing shall be a Loan of a Type that is unaffected by such circumstances, as selected by Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement; and

(iii) Borrowers shall borrow, prepay, convert and continue Loans in a manner such that (A) the aggregate principal amount of LIBOR Rate Loans having the same Interest Period shall at all times be not less than $2,000,000, (B) there shall not be, at any one time, more than eight Interest Periods in effect with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans and (C) no payment of LIBOR Rate Loans will have to be made prior to the last day of an applicable Interest Period in order to repay the Loans in the amounts and on the date specified in Section 2.4(b).

(d) Each Notice of Continuation and Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable (subject to Section 4.3(c)) by and binding on Borrowers.

4.4 Interest After Event of Default. At the election of Agent or the Majority Lenders, Interest on any amount of overdue interest on or overdue principal of the Loans, and interest on the amount of principal under the Loans outstanding as of the date an Event of Default occurs, and at all times thereafter until the earlier of the date upon which (a) all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full or (b) such Event of Default shall not be continuing, shall be payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the rate at which the Loans are bearing interest pursuant to Section 4.2 above, plus two percent (2.0%). In the event of any change in said applicable interest rate, the rate hereunder shall change, effective as of the day the applicable interest rate changes, so as to remain two percent (2.0%) per annum above the then applicable interest rate.

4.5 Fees. (a) Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a non-refundable fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to three eighths of one percent (0.375%) per annum of the unused portion of the Line of Credit (with any outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations constituting usage of the Line of Credit). The Unused Line Fee shall accrue daily from the Closing Date until the Facility Termination Date, and shall be due and payable monthly in arrears, on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the Facility Termination Date.

(b) On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay to the Agent (i) the fees set forth in the Fee Letter to the extent due on such date and (ii) the Upfront Fees for distribution to the Lenders.

4.6 Letter of Credit Fees. (a) The Agent shall be entitled to charge to the account of the Funds Administrator on the first Business Day of each calendar month, a fee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders for distribution to each Lender, in an amount equal to the LIBOR Margin for Loans with respect to all Letters of Credit on the daily undrawn amounts outstanding during the immediately preceding calendar month; provided that from the date an Event of Default occurs, and at all times thereafter until the earlier of the date upon which (A) all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full and (B) such Event of Default shall not be continuing, such fee shall be equal to two (2%) percent per annum above the LIBOR Margin, otherwise applicable hereunder and shall be payable on demand (such fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”); and

(b) The Agent shall be entitled to charge to the account of the Funds Administrator on the first Business Day of the month immediately succeeding each Fiscal Quarter, a fee for the benefit of the Issuing Bank equal to the greater of (X) $500 per annum and (Y) 0.25% per annum with respect to all Letters of Credit on the daily undrawn amounts outstanding during the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter (the “Fronting Fee”). In addition to the Fronting Fee, the Agent shall be entitled to charge the account of the Funds Administrator, as and when incurred, the customary charges, fees, costs and expenses of the Issuing Bank for the issuance, transfer, amendment or payment of any Letter of Credit (the “Issuing Bank Fees”). Each determination of the Fronting Fee and Issuing Bank Fees shall be made by the Issuing Bank and provided in writing to the Agent and shall be conclusive and binding for purposes of Agent’s right to collect and distribute such fees, absent manifest error.

4.7 Reimbursement of Expenses.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, Borrowers shall promptly reimburse the Agent for all Expenses of the Agent as the same are incurred by the Agent and upon receipt of invoices therefor and, if requested by the Funds Administrator, such reasonable backup materials and information as any Borrower shall reasonably request.

(b) Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, upon request, such amount or amounts as such Lender determines in good faith are necessary to compensate it for any breakage loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (i) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan or (ii) a LIBOR Rate Loan for any reason not being made or Converted, or any payment of principal thereof or interest thereon not being made, on the date therefor determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement. At the election of such Lender, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but without duplication, such compensation on account of breakage losses may include an amount equal to the excess of (A) the interest that would have been received from Borrowers under and in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement on any amounts to be reemployed during an Interest Period or its remaining portion over (B) the interest component of the return that such Lender determines it could have obtained had it placed such amount on deposit in the interbank Dollar market selected by it for a period equal to such Interest Period or its remaining portion.

4.8 Authorization to Charge Borrowers’ Accounts. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to charge the account of any Borrower maintained with the Agent with the amount of all Fees, Expenses and other payments to be paid hereunder, under the Fee Letters and under the other Credit Documents as and when such payments become due and agrees that it shall pay interest thereon from the date such amount is to be charged to such Borrower’s Account to the date the same is paid (whether by the making of a Loan or otherwise) at the then applicable rate for Prime Rate Loans. Each Borrower confirms that any charges which the Agent may so make to such Borrower’s Account as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to Borrowers and solely at the Agent’s discretion. The Agent will use its best efforts to give the Funds Administrator three (3) days advance notice of such Fees, Expenses and other payments in reasonable detail, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not result in any liability of the Agent.

4.9 Indemnification in Certain Events. If after the Closing Date, either (a) any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation is introduced, including with respect to reserve requirements, applicable to DBTCo., Deutsche Bank or any other banking or financial institution from whom any of the Lenders borrows funds or obtains credit (a “Funding Bank”), the Agent or any of the Lenders, or (b) the Agent, a Funding Bank or any of the Lenders complies with any future guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (c) the Agent, a Funding Bank or any of the Lenders determines that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof has or would have the effect described below, or the Agent, a Funding Bank or any of the Lenders complies with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether of not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, and in the case of any event set forth in this clause (c), such adoption, change or compliance has or would have the direct or indirect effect of reducing the rate of return on any of the Lenders’ capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under any L/C Participation to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Agent’s or such Funding Bank’s or Lender’s policies as the case may be with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, or any of the foregoing events described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) increases the cost to the Agent, or any of the Lenders of (i) funding or maintaining the Line of Credit, or (ii) acquiring or maintaining any L/C Participation in any Letter of Credit, or reduces the amount receivable in respect thereof, or in respect of such Letter of Credit, by the Agent, the Issuing Bank of such Letter of Credit or any Lender, then Borrowers shall upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent, for the account of each applicable Lender or, as applicable, an Issuing Bank or a Funding Bank, additional amounts sufficient to indemnify such Person against such increase in cost or reduction in amount receivable. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof shall, if requested by the Funds Administrator, be submitted to the Funds Administrator by the Person making such claim, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, in no event shall any party seek indemnification for any amounts described in this Section 4.9 if such amounts arose more than 180 days prior to the date on which reimbursement is being sought.

4.10 Calculations and Determinations. (a) All calculations of (i) interest hereunder and (ii) Fees, shall be made by the Agent, on the basis of a year of 360 days, or, if such computation would cause the interest and fees chargeable hereunder to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, 365/366 days, in each case to the extent applicable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable.

(b) In making the determinations contemplated by Article 4, the Agent and each Lender may make such estimates, assumptions, allocations and the like that such Person in good faith determines to be appropriate.

(c) Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or payment hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Upon entry of each Financing Order, the provisions of each Security Agreement are effective to create in favor of Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the relevant Credit Party in the Collateral, subject to no other prior Liens other than Permitted Senior Liens and the Carve-Out Reserve. Upon the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Interim Financing Order (or the Final Financing Order, when applicable) no additional filings or recordings shall be necessary to perfect the security interests created in the Collateral under the Security Documents; provided, however, that additional filings may be required in the United States Copyright Office and/or United States Patent and Trademark Office to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Lien on any Intellectual Property acquired after the date hereof.

Upon the entry by the Bankruptcy Courts of the Interim Financing Order (or the Final Financing Order, when applicable) each of the Credit Parties has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of such Credit Documents. Upon the entry by the Bankruptcy Courts of the Interim Financing Order (or the Final Financing Order, when applicable) each of the Credit Parties has duly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

6.4 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrowers of any of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, nor consummation of the transactions contemplated therein (i) will contravene in any material respect any Requirement of Law, (ii) will conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of any Borrower or any such Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other agreement, contract or instrument, to which a Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject, except to the extent a conflict, breach or default results from the rejection of such agreement, contract or instrument approved pursuant to an applicable order of the Bankruptcy Court, or entered into or confirmed Post-Petition or (iii) will violate or conflict with the Governing Documents of any Credit Party.

(xviii) The entry of an order in any of the Chapter 11 Cases confirming a Reorganization Plan, which plan does not require as a condition to its becoming effective cash payments to the Agent and Lenders sufficient to entitle the Credit Parties to a release of the Collateral under Section 10.10;

(xix) Upon closing the Xxxxxxx Sale and disbursement of the Net Sale Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.4(f), Borrowers are not entitled to a release of the Collateral under Section 10.10; or

9.2 Acceleration and Cash Collateralization. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and which is continuing, the Agent may, but shall upon the request of the Majority Lenders, and by delivery of notice to the Funds Administrator from the Agent, take any or all of the following actions: (a) declare all Obligations to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other action or obligation of the Agent or any Lender; and (b) immediately terminate the Commitments hereunder.

In addition, upon demand by the Agent or the Majority Lenders upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and which is continuing, Borrowers shall deposit with the Agent cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations. Such deposit shall be held by the Agent as security for, and to provide for the payment of, Letter of Credit Obligations.

If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations, Borrowers shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in Section 4.4) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans and other Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived, then by written notice to the Funds Administrator, the Majority Lenders may elect, in the sole discretion of such Majority Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences and return any cash collateral; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Majority Lenders; they are not intended to benefit Borrowers and do not give any Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder or to return any cash collateral, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

9.3 Remedies. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, without any application, motion or notice to, or order from, the Bankruptcy Court (but upon Required

Notice), the Agent may, in addition to exercising any other rights and remedies now or hereafter existing under any Credit Document or applicable law: (a) make copies of any and all documents, instruments, files and records (including the copying of any computer records), and any receptacles or cabinets containing same, relating to any or all of the Collateral, or the Agent may use (at the expense of Borrowers) such of the supplies or space of any Borrower at any Borrower’s place of business or otherwise, as may be necessary to properly administer and control any or all of the Collateral or the handling of collections and realizations thereon; (b) bring suit, in the name of a Borrower or the Lenders and generally shall have all other rights respecting any or all of the Collateral, including the right to: accelerate or extend the time of payment, settle, compromise, release in whole or in part any amounts owing on any or all of the Collateral and issue credits in the name of a Borrower or the Lenders; and (c) foreclose the security interests created pursuant to the Credit Documents by any available judicial procedure, or to take possession of any or all of the Collateral without judicial process and enter any premises where any Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing same. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Agent shall have the right, without notice or advertisement, to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, whether in its then condition or after further preparation or processing, in the name of a Borrower or the Lenders, or in the name of such other party as the Agent may designate, either at public or private sale or at any broker’s board, in lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, with or without warranties or representations, and upon such other terms and conditions as the Agent in its sole discretion may deem advisable, and the Agent or any other Lender shall have the right to purchase at any such sale. If any Collateral shall require rebuilding, repairing, maintenance or preparation, the Agent shall have the right, at its option, to do such of the aforesaid as is necessary, for the purpose of putting such Collateral in such saleable form as the Agent shall deem appropriate. Each Borrower agrees, at the request of the Agent, to assemble the Collateral and to make it available to the Agent at the premises of such Borrower, and to make available to the Agent the premises and facilities of such Borrower for the purpose of the Agent’s taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable form. However, if notice of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, it is agreed that ten (10) days notice shall constitute reasonable notification. Unless expressly prohibited by the licensor thereof; if any, the Agent is hereby granted a license to use all Intellectual Property, computer software programs, data bases, processes and materials used by each Borrower in connection with its businesses or in connection with the Collateral. The net cash proceeds resulting from the Agent’s exercise of any of the foregoing rights (after deducting all charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be applied by the Agent to the payment of the Obligations, whether due or to become due, in such order as the Agent may elect, and pending such payment shall be held as security for such payment. Each Borrower shall remain liable to the Agent and the Lenders for any deficiencies. The enumeration of the foregoing rights is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights, all of which shall be cumulative.

9.4 Actions in Concert. Anything in this Credit Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Majority Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to

100

protect or enforce rights under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Majority Lenders.

9.5 Distributions. Upon Agent commencing any action under Section 9.3 (unless the Xxxxxxx Sale has occurred in which event Section 2.4(f) shall govern with respect to the proceeds thereof), and thereafter, all payments and proceeds received by Agent or any Lender shall be applied as follows:

First, to the payment, or reserve for payment, of the obligations included in the Carve-Out Reserve, provided that any funds remaining after satisfying the obligations included in the Carve-Out Reserve shall be paid to the Agent for application pursuant to this Section 9.5;

Second, to the payment of any amounts owed to Agent under Sections 10.6 or 11.8 or under any Credit Document and any expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the maintenance, preservation or protection of any Collateral;

Third, to all Lenders pro rata according to the then outstanding amount of Obligations held by each such Lender other than the stated amount of Letters of Credit;

Fourth, to cash collateralize 105% of the stated amount of Letters of Credit; and

Fifth, if any balance remains after the Obligations under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement have been paid in full, then to Borrowers or as otherwise required by applicable law or court order.

All amounts deposited in a reserve in accordance with the first clause of this Section 9.5 shall be accomplished in a manner and pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent such that the Agent shall have a continuing first perfected security interest and lien in the funds reserved (subject to Permitted Senior Liens and the Carve-Out Reserve) until the same have been applied and reapplied as required by this Section 9.5.

THE AGENT

10.1 Appointment of Agent.

(a) Each Lender hereby designates DBTCo. as its contractual representative to act as herein specified. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of a Note or an L/C Participation by the acceptance of such Note or participation shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall hold all Collateral and all payments of principal, interest, Fees, charges and Expenses received pursuant to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document for the benefit of the Lenders and the

101

Issuing Banks to be distributed as provided herein. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.

(b) The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and none of the Credit Parties shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof (other than Section 10.9). In performing its functions and duties under this Credit Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party.

10.2 Nature of Duties of Agent. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, and nothing in this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

10.3 Lack of Reliance on the Agent.

(a) Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial or other condition and affairs of each Credit Party in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of (A) the creditworthiness of each Credit Party, and (B) the Collateral, and, except as expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the initial Credit Event or at any time or times thereafter.

(b) The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any other Credit Document or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial or other condition of any Credit Party. The Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of any Credit Party, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by any Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

10.4 Certain Rights of the Agent. The Agent shall have the right to request instructions from the Lenders at any time. If the Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the failure to act) in connection with this

102

Credit Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Agent shall have received instructions from the Majority Lenders (or, to the extent required pursuant to Section 11.10, all Lenders), and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender or Issuing Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders.

10.5 Reliance by the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex or facsimile transmission, E-mail, telecopier message, cablegram, order or other documentary, teletransmission or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrowers with respect to matters concerning Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The Agent may, but shall not be required to, rely on Borrowing Base Certificates and any other schedules or reports delivered to the Agent in connection herewith in determining the amount of the Borrowing Base and the then eligibility of Accounts and Inventory of the respective Borrowers. Reliance thereon by the Agent from time to time shall not be deemed to limit the right of the Agent to revise advance rates or standards of eligibility as provided in the definition of the term "Borrowing Base” set forth herein.

10.6 Indemnification of Agent. To the extent the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify the Agent, in proportion to its respective Commitment, for and against any and all Liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including all Expenses) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent, in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender, shall be liable for any portion of such Liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent it is determined by a judgment of a court that is binding on the Agent, final and not subject to review on appeal, to be the result of acts or omissions on the part of the Agent, constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10.7 The Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to lend under this Credit Agreement, the Loans made by it and the Notes issued to it, and its participation in Letters of Credit, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a Note or participation interests and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders,” “Majority Lenders,” “holders of Notes,” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Borrower or any Affiliate of any Borrower as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower for services in connection with this Credit Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders or any Issuing Bank.

103

10.8 Holders of Notes.

(a) The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefore.

10.9 Successor Agent.

(a) The Agent may, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and the Funds Administrator, resign at any time (effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.9) by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Funds Administrator. Upon such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) days’ notice to the Funds Administrator, to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent (i) shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and (ii) shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then, upon five (5) days’ notice, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. Resignation of the Agent under this Credit Agreement shall also constitute a resignation of the Agent under the other Credit Documents and appointment of a successor Agent shall constitute an appointment of the successor Agent under all other Credit Documents.

(b) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Credit Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Credit Agreement. The retiring Agent shall assign to the successor Agent all liens granted under the Collateral Documents and deliver to the successor Agent all pledged Collateral in its possession, and take all such other actions, at the expense of Borrowers, as may be reasonably requested to effect the succession of the successor Agent under the Credit Documents.

(c) In the event of a material breach by the Agent of its duties hereunder, the Agent may be removed by the Majority Lenders for cause and the provisions of this Section 10.9 shall apply to the appointment of a successor Agent. Such removal of the Agent shall also operate, if at the time any such Person is serving as such, as a removal of DBTCo. and each of its Serving Affiliates, if any, as an Issuing Bank, subject to Section 10.9(d).

(d) No removal of DBTCo., Deutsche Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Serving Affiliates pursuant to Section 10.9(c), as an Issuing Bank, shall be effective unless its Liabilities under each Letter of Credit are secured with cash or by letters of credit in form and substance, and issued by issuers, satisfactory to DBTCo., Deutsche Bank, such Lender or such Serving Affiliate.

104

10.10 Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of such Person.

The Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders and all the Issuing Banks, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender or any Issuing Bank from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

(b) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all of the Obligations at any time arising under or in respect of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or, in the case of outstanding Letters of Credit, cash collateralization in accordance with Section 3.3(e)), (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of (other than pursuant to the Xxxxxxx Sale, which shall be subject to satisfaction of clause (i) or (iii) hereof) upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale by the Agent, if the Funds Administrator certifies to the Agent that such sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 8.5 (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders, unless such release or subordination is required to be approved by all of the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.10; provided that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), such release of Liens shall not be effective unless and until the Agent shall have received adequate cash collateral in its reasonable judgment to secure payment of the estimated amount of any known or unliquidated Obligations that have been asserted by the Agent prior to such release. Upon request by the Agent at any time, each Lender and each Issuing Bank will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.10.

(c) Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral (including pursuant to the Xxxxxxx Sale) which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement, or consented to in writing by the Majority Lenders (or all Lenders, if such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders pursuant to Section 11.10), and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Funds Administrator, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank, to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to or create any Liability or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or

105

warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Borrower or any Credit Party in respect of) all interests retained by any Borrower or any Credit Party, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the Expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

(d) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Agent herein or in any of the Collateral Documents or pursuant hereto or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section 10.10 or in any of the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10.11 Actions with Respect to Defaults. In addition to the Agent’s right to take actions on its own accord as permitted under this Credit Agreement, the Agent shall take such action with respect to a Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders; provided that until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; and, further, provided that the Agent shall not be required under any circumstances to take any action that, in its judgment, (a) is contrary to any provision of the Credit Documents or applicable law or (b) will expose it to any liability or expense against which it has not been indemnified to its satisfaction. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

10.12 Delivery of Information. The Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender or any Issuing Bank originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by the Agent from the Funds Administrator, any Borrower, any Subsidiary of any Borrower, the Majority Lenders, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person under or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document except (a) as specifically provided in this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and (b) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender, or any Issuing Bank with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of the Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

Upon such execution and delivery of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Agent, from and after the date specified as the effective date in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (A) 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 Assumption Agreement, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have pursuant to Section 11.8, which rights will survive) and be released from its obligations (other than any obligations it may have pursuant to Section 11.7, which obligations will survive under this Credit Agreement) (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

109

(d) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Credit Agreement, the Notes, or any other Credit Document; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower, any other Credit Parties or any Issuing Bank, the value of the Collateral, or the performance or observance by (A) any Borrower or any other Credit Parties of any of its obligations under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or (B) any Issuing Bank of any of its obligations under any Letter of Credit; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Credit Agreement, together with copies of the Financial Statements referred to in Section 7.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (iv) such assignee will continue, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the Agent by their terms, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(e) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.5 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Funds Administrator, Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Assumption shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with the Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption Agreement has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Funds Administrator. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note or Notes to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder, a new Note or Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall re evidence the

110

Indebtedness outstanding under the old Note or Notes and shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the Note or Notes subject to such assignments.

(g) Each Lender may sell participations (without the consent of the Agent, any Borrower or any other Lender) to one or more parties in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement (including its Commitment to Borrowers hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, (iv) the Funds Administrator, Borrowers, the Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and such Notes and (v) such Lender shall not transfer, grant, assign or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment or waiver of this Credit Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (A) extend the final maturity date or the date for the payments of any installment of fees or principal or interest of any Loans or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations in which such participant is participating; (B) reduce the amount of any installment of principal of the Loans or the amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit in which such participant is participating; (C) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, reduce the interest rate applicable to the Loans or the amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit in which such participant is participating; or (D) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, reduce any Fees payable hereunder in which such participant participates. Each Lender selling or granting a participation, including a participation sold pursuant to Section 2.10, shall indemnify Borrowers and the Agent for any Taxes and Liabilities that either may sustain as a result of such Lender’s failure to withhold and pay any Taxes applicable to payments by such Lender to its participant in respect of such participation.

(h) Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of Borrowers and the Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan, Note or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United States of America or of any jurisdiction.

(i) In connection with the efforts of any Lender to assign its rights or obligations or to participate interests, such Lender may disclose any information in its possession regarding any Borrower, subject to the confidentiality provisions of Section 11.7.

11.7 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of Borrowers (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors, Affiliates and counsel, or to another Lender if the disclosing Lender or such disclosing Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information) any information with respect to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, which is furnished pursuant to this Credit Agreement and which is designated by such Borrower to the Lenders in writing as confidential, provided that any Lender may disclose

111

any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to or examination conducted by any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender, (c) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any Requirement of Law, (e) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, to the extent such transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Section 11.7, (f) to other financial institutions with respect to which the respective Lender has a contractual relationship in accordance with such Lender’s regular banking procedures, provided that each such other financial institution agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 11.7, (g) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information regarding the respective Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with such rating agency’s issuance of ratings with respect to such Lender, provided that such Lender advises such rating agency of the confidential nature of such information, (h) as may be required or appropriate in connection with protecting, preserving, exercising or enforcing (or planning to exercise or enforce) any of its rights in, under or related to the Collateral or the Credit Documents and (i) as may be required or appropriate in consulting with any Person with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

11.8 Indemnification. (a) Borrowers shall and hereby agree jointly and severally to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, counsel, advisors and Affiliates (each, an "Indemnified Person”) from and against (i) any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses incurred by any of them (except to the extent that it is finally judicially determined to have resulted from their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct) (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or by reason of any litigations, investigations, claims or proceedings which arise out of or are in any way related to (A) this Credit Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby; (B) the issuance of Letters of Credit; (C) the failure of an Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit, as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority; (D) any actual or proposed use by any Borrower of (1) the proceeds of any Loans or (2) any Letter of Credit; or (E) the Agent’s, the Lenders’ or any Issuing Bank’s entering into this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other agreements and documents relating thereto, including amounts paid in-settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection with any of the foregoing; and (ii) any Losses that arise directly or indirectly from or in connection with any Environmental Laws. If and to the extent that the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder are unenforceable for any reason, Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such Obligations which is permissible under applicable law. Borrowers’ joint and several Obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment in full of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of its Obligations. In addition, Borrowers shall, upon demand, pay to the Agent and each Lender all costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other professionals) paid or incurred by the Agent or such Lender

112

in (w) enforcing or defending its rights under or in respect of this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any other document or instrument now or hereafter executed and delivered in connection herewith, (x) collecting the Loans, (y) foreclosing or otherwise collecting upon the Collateral or any part thereof and (z) obtaining any legal, accounting or other advice in connection with any of the foregoing. Borrowers agree (without duplication) to pay promptly (i) upon written request by Agent, which shall include reasonable detail, all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the review of pleadings and documents related to any Chapter 11 Case and any subsequent Chapter 7 case, attendance at all hearings and meetings related to any Chapter 11 Case and any subsequent Chapter 7 case, including, in each case without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Winston & Xxxxxx LLP, special counsel to Agent, and any local counsel retained by Agent relative thereto, other attorney costs, independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by Agent in connection with the administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (ii) upon written request by any other member of the Steering Committee, which shall include reasonable detail, all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with review of pleadings and documents related to any Chapter 11 Case and any subsequent Chapter 7 case in their capacity as members of the Steering Committee, including without limitation, recoverable attorney fees and out-of-pocket expenses in such capacity.

If any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding is commenced by a third party as to which an Indemnified Person proposes to demand indemnification, it shall notify Xxxxxxx with reasonable promptness; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Person to notify Xxxxxxx shall not relieve Borrowers from their obligations hereunder (except to the extent that Borrowers are materially prejudiced by such failure to promptly notify). Borrowers shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to counsel of its own choice to represent it, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) Borrowers have failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person in accordance with the preceding sentence or (ii) the Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that there exist actual or potential conflicting interests between Borrowers and such Indemnified Person, including situations in which one or more legal defenses may be available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations be liable for fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Persons; and such counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with Borrowers and any counsel designated by Borrowers.

Borrowers further agree that they will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Agent or any other Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Agent and each other Indemnified Person from all liability and obligations arising therefrom. However, Borrowers will not be liable hereunder for

113

any amount paid by an Indemnified Person if such Indemnified Person settles or compromises any claims or actions or consents to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding and such settlement, compromise or consent to entry is entered into without Xxxxxxx’x prior written consent (which consent may not be withheld or delayed unless such settlement is unreasonable in light of such claims or actions against, and defenses available to, such Indemnified Person) unless such Indemnified Person has provided notice of such settlement or compromise and Xxxxxxx does not within five (5) Business Days (or such shorter time as is reasonable under the circumstances) provide the Indemnified Person with evidence that the Credit Parties have the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Person for all potential amounts payable in connection with the underlying claim or proceeding to which such settlement or compromise relates. Borrowers further agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to Xxxxxxx or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of or in connection with the proposed transactions giving rise to or contemplated by this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document except for such liability for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent they have resulted from the applicable Indemnified Person’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. No Indemnified Person shall be responsible or liable to any Borrower or any other Person for consequential, special or punitive damages which may be alleged as a result of this Credit Agreement or the financing contemplated hereby.

11.9 Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Funds Administrator, Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders (in their capacities as such and not in their capacity, if any, as an Issuing Bank), supersedes any prior agreements among them, and shall bind and benefit the Funds Administrator, Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.10 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, nor consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Lenders (or by the Agent on their behalf), or if the Lenders shall not be parties thereto, by the parties thereto and consented to by the Majority Lenders (or by the Agent on their behalf), and each such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders, increase the percentages in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of the definition of the term Borrowing Base.

(b) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders, do any of the following: (i) increase the Commitments of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations (except pursuant to an increase in Commitments or obligations arising under Section 11.6 hereof); (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any drawing under any Letter of Credit or any fees hereunder; (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment in respect of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or for the reimbursement of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or any fees hereunder; (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments, or any minimum requirement necessary for the Lenders or the Majority Lenders to take any action

114

hereunder; (v) amend or waive this Section 11.10, or change the definition of Majority Lenders; (vi) except in connection with the financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of any Collateral of Borrowers permitted under this Credit Agreement, release Agent’s Liens on all or a substantial portion of the Collateral; or (vii) release any Borrower or Subsidiary Guarantor (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor that is an Immaterial Subsidiary) from its obligations under the Credit Documents except pursuant to a transaction permitted by this Credit Agreement; and, provided that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of the Agent or any Issuing Bank under, (x) in the case of the Agent, any term or provision of this Credit Agreement and (y) in the case of any Issuing Bank, (1) Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6 and 3.8 of this Credit Agreement, (2) any Letter of Credit or (3) any L/C Application, shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by the Agent or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the consent of Borrowers shall not be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions of Article 10 (other than the provisions of Section 10.9). In addition, Borrowers and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to modify this Credit Agreement by unilaterally amending or supplementing Annex I from time to time in the manner requested by Borrowers, the Agent or any Lender in order to reflect any assignments or transfers of the Loans as provided for hereunder; however, provided that the Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of any such modification to the Funds Administrator and each Lender.

(c) If a Defaulting Lender exists or, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Majority Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.10(c) below being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, in respect of any Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (so long as Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender), at Funds Administrator’s request, Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, and such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, agrees that it shall, upon Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as applicable, and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

11.11 Nonliability of Agent and Lenders. The relationship between Borrowers and the Lenders and the Agent shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Funds Administrator or any Borrower. Neither the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank undertakes any responsibility to Borrowers to review or inform Borrowers of any matter in connection with any phase of any Borrowers’ business or operations.

11.12 Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so

115

executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

11.13 Effectiveness. This Credit Agreement shall become effective on the date on which all of the parties hereto shall have signed a copy hereof (whether the same or different copies) and shall have delivered the same to the Agent pursuant to Section 11.5 or, in the case of the Lenders, shall have given to the Agent written or facsimile notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been signed and mailed to it and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 have been satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 11.10).

11.14 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Credit Agreement or the Notes or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11.15 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Credit Agreement, and the Table of Contents, are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Credit Agreement.

11.16 Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Credit Agreement or in any other Credit Document, Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that all agreements among them under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to Borrowers and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrowers. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other Indebtedness of Borrowers to the Agent or any Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such Indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and all agreements among Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders.

116

11.17 Right of Setoff. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any Lender may have under applicable law, each Lender shall, subject to Section 9.4 (and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, without any application, motion or notice to, or order from, the Bankruptcy Court), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default subject to giving Required Notice pursuant to Section 9.3 and whether or not such Lender has made any demand or the Obligations of any Credit Party are matured, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations of such Credit Party all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) then or thereafter held by and other Indebtedness or property then or thereafter owing by such Lender, including any and all amounts in any Depository Account, Concentration Account or the DBTCo Loan Account. For purposes of this Section 11.17, the Obligations of a Credit Party to a Lender shall include, as fully as though such Obligations were the direct Obligations of such Credit Party to such Lender, the Obligations of such Credit Party in which such Lender has an L/C Participation, in each case, to the extent of such participation. No Lender may exercise such rights without the prior written consent of Agent or the Majority Lenders pursuant to Section 9.4. Any amount received as a result of the exercise of such rights shall be reallocated as set forth in Section 2.10.

11.18 Defaulting Lender.

(a) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender, prior to the time specified in such Section, that such Lender will not make available to the Agent a Loan required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.2, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amounts available to the Agent in accordance with such Sections and the Agent in its sole discretion may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers or the applicable Issuing Bank a corresponding amount on behalf of such Lender.

(b) If any amount referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 11.18 or in Section 2.3 is not made available to the Agent by a Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) and the Agent has made such amount available to Borrowers or an Issuing Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Defaulting Lender together with interest as hereinafter provided. If such Defaulting Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefore, the Agent shall promptly notify the Funds Administrator and Borrowers shall immediately (but in no event later than five Business Days after such demand) pay such amount to the Agent together with interest calculated as hereinafter provided. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Defaulting Lender and/or Borrowers, as the case may be, (i) interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to Borrowers to the date such amount is recovered by the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to either (A) if paid by such Defaulting Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate or (B) if paid by Borrowers, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, plus (ii) in each case, an amount equal to any costs (including legal expenses) and losses incurred as a result of the failure of such Defaulting Lender to provide such amount as provided in this Credit Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its duty to fulfill its obligations hereunder or to prejudice any rights which Borrowers or any Issuing Bank, may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder, including the right of Borrowers to seek reimbursement from any Defaulting Lender for any amounts paid by Borrowers under clause (ii) above on account of such Defaulting Lender’s default.

117

(c) (i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or has rejected its Commitment, the Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to such Lender (A) any payments made by Borrowers to the Agent for the benefit of such Lender or (B) any amounts contemplated by Section 2.3(b)(i); and, such Lender shall not be entitled to the sharing of any payments pursuant to Section 2.10. Amounts otherwise payable to such Lender under Section 2.10 shall instead be paid to the Agent.

(ii) For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Credit Documents and determining Proportionate Share, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0).

(iii) This Section 11.18(c) shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until (a) the Obligations under this Credit Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable or (b) the Majority Lenders, the Agent and Borrowers shall have waived such Lender’s default in writing.

(iv) No Lender’s Commitment shall be increased or otherwise affected, and performance by the respective Borrowers shall not be excused, by the operation of this Section 11.18(c). Any payments of principal or interest which would, but for this subsection (c), be paid to any Lender, shall be paid to the Lenders who shall not be in default under their respective Commitments and who shall not have rejected any Commitment, for application to the Loans then due and payable or to the other Obligations then due and payable or to provide cash collateral to secure Obligations not then due and payable in such manner and order as shall be determined by the Agent.

11.19 Rights Cumulative. Each of the rights and remedies of the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders under the Credit Documents shall be in addition to all of their other rights and remedies under the Credit Documents and applicable law, and nothing in the Credit Documents shall be construed as limiting any such rights or remedies.

11.20 Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Issuing Bank shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of its rights under this Credit Agreement, provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.10, such rights may be amended or waived, and any departure therefrom by any Credit Party consented to, without their respective consents.

11.21 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a) Each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder and under each of the other Credit Documents with respect to all Obligations, regardless of which of the Borrowers actually receives the proceeds of the Loans or the benefit of any other extensions of credit hereunder, or the manner in which the Funds Administrator, Borrowers, the Agent, the Lenders or any of the Issuing Banks account therefore in their respective books and records. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) each Borrower’s obligations and liabilities with respect to proceeds of Loans which it receives or Letters of Credit issued for its account, and related fees, costs and expenses, and (ii) each Borrower’s obligations and liabilities arising as a result of the joint and several liability of Borrowers hereunder with respect to proceeds of

118

Loans received by, or Letters of Credit issued for the account of, any of the other Borrowers, together with the related fees, costs and expenses, shall be separate and distinct obligations, both of which are primary obligations of such Borrower. Neither the joint and several liability of, nor the Liens granted to the Agent under the Collateral Documents by, any of the Borrowers shall be impaired or released by (A) the failure of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, any successors or assigns thereof, or any holder of any Note or any of the Obligations to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right, power or remedy against the Funds Administrator, any Borrower, any Subsidiary of any Borrower, any other Person, the Collateral or otherwise; (B) any extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) or exchange of any of the Obligations or the release or compromise of any obligation of any nature of any Person with respect thereto; (C) the surrender, release or exchange of all or any part of any property (including without limitation the Collateral) securing payment, performance and/or observance of any of the Obligations or the compromise or extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) of any obligations of any nature of any Person with respect to any such property; (D) any action or inaction on the part of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any other event or condition with respect to any other Borrower, including any such action or inaction or other event or condition, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Borrower, or a guarantor or surety of or for any or all of the Obligations; and (E) any other act, matter or thing (other than payment or performance of the Obligations) which would or might, in the absence of this provision, operate to release, discharge or otherwise prejudicially affect the obligations of such Borrower or any other Borrower.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the joint obligations of a Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law) then the Obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the federal Bankruptcy Code).

(c) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 11.21 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 11.21 without rendering such claim

119

voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. This Section 11.21(c) is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 11.21(c) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, including Section 11.21(a). Nothing contained in this Section 11.21(c) shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and Expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Credit Parties under this Section 11.21(c) shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

(d) The liability of Borrowers under this Section 11.21 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which such Borrower is a party, without any limitation as to amount.

11.22 Appointment and Authorization of Funds Administrator.

(a) Each Borrower hereby designates, appoints, authorizes and empowers Xxxxxxx as its agent to act as specified in the capacity of Funds Administrator under this Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents and Xxxxxxx hereby acknowledges such designation, authorization and empowerment, and accepts such appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Funds Administrator to take such action on its behalf under the respective provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and any other instruments, documents and agreements referred to herein or therein, and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Funds Administrator by the respective terms and provisions hereof and thereof, and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, without limitation, to take the following actions for and on such Borrower’s behalf:

(i) to submit on behalf of each Borrower Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion and Notices of Continuation to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, each such notice to be submitted by the Funds Administrator to Agent as soon as practicable after its receipt of a request to do so from a Borrower; and

(ii) to submit on behalf of each Borrower requests for the issuance of Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, each such request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit to be submitted by the Funds Administrator as soon as practicable after its receipt of a request to do so from any Borrower.

The Funds Administrator is further authorized and directed by each of the Borrowers to take all such actions on behalf of such Borrower necessary to exercise the specific powers granted in clauses (i) and (ii) above and to perform such other duties hereunder and under

120

the other Credit Documents, and deliver such documents as delegated to or required of the Funds Administrator by the terms hereof or thereof. Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Documents from the Funds Administrator as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to the Funds Administrator on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Funds Administrator shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

(b) The Funds Administrator may perform any of its duties hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents by or through its agents or employees.

11.23 Parties Including Trustees; Bankruptcy Court Proceedings. This Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and all Liens and other rights and privileges created hereby or pursuant to the Security Agreements or any other Loan Document shall be binding upon each Credit Party, the estate of each Credit Party, and any trustee or successor in interest of any Credit Party in the Chapter 11 Cases or any subsequent case commenced under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall not be subject to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. This Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors of Agent and each Lender and each of their respective assigns, transferees and endorsees. The Liens created by this Credit Agreement, the Security Agreements and the other Credit Documents shall be and remain valid and perfected in the event of the substantive consolidation or conversion of any Chapter 11 Case or any other bankruptcy case of any Credit Party to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or in the event of dismissal of any Chapter 11 Case or the release of any Collateral from the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for any reason, without the necessity that Agent file financing statements or otherwise perfect its security interests or Liens under applicable law; provided, however, that additional filings may be required in the United States Copyright Office and/or United States Patent and Trademark Office to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Lien on any Intellectual Property acquired after the date hereof.

11.24 Effect of Financing Orders. To the extent of any inconsistency with this Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the terms and provisions of the Financing Orders shall govern.

11.25 Reservation of Rights. Nothing contained in this Credit Agreement shall prevent the Agent or any Lender from appearing and being heard on any matter in the Chapter 11 Cases.
