Excess Cash accepted by the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6(f) shall be applied to the Loans as follows: (x) first, to pay the Term Loan until no amounts remain outstanding thereon, (y) second, to prepay the Revolving Loan but without a contemporaneous permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitment, and (z) third, to pay any other outstanding Obligations. For purposes of this Section 2.6(f), “Excess Cash” means, at any time, the

13

aggregate amount of cash, cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, and investments in money market funds, in each case, held or owned by (whether directly or indirectly), the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or which are otherwise assets of a nature that would be reflected as cash on the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower excluding (i) any cash held to pay, in the ordinary course of business, amounts then due and owing to third parties and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) has issued checks or has initiated wires or ACH transfers in order to pay such amounts, (ii) cash to be used within two (2) Business Days to pay the purchase price for any acquisition of any assets or property, and (iii) any cash constituting deposits or advance payments held in escrow by a third party subject to customary provisions regarding the payment and refunding of such deposits or advance payments.

2.7Interest.

(a)The Loans will bear interest at the lower of (i) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Loans will bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at an annual rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lower of (i) 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to the Loans as provided in Section 2.7(a) and (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate.

(c)Accrued interest on each Loan will be payable in arrears in cash on each Interest Payment Date and upon termination of the Revolving Commitment, except (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.7(b) will be payable on demand and (ii) unless otherwise elected by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date, in lieu of a cash interest payment, accrued interest pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to increase the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan (any interest so deemed to increase the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan is referred to as “PIK Interest”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Lender shall deem any interest not paid in cash in Dollars on an Interest Payment Date to be automatically deemed to increase the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan on such Interest Payment Date without any further action on the part of either the Lender or the Borrower.

(d)All interest payable under this Agreement will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The Lender shall determine the applicable LIBOR Rate, and such determination will be conclusive absent manifest error.

14

2.8Payments Generally.

Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments must be made to the Lender at the address on file pursuant to Section 8.1. If any payment hereunder is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon will be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under this Agreement must be made in Dollars.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, and fees (after giving effect to the provisions of Section 2.7(c)) then due under this Agreement, such funds will be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due or otherwise as directed by the Lender in its sole discretion.

(b)The Borrower or the Lender may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other party. All notices and other communications given to a party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

8.2Waivers; Amendments.

(a)No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or

28

power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies it would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom will in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by clause (b) of this Section 8.2, and then such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the funding of an increase in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan or the increase in the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan as a result of PIK Interest will not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)This Agreement or any provision hereof may not be waived, amended, or modified, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower from any provision hereof or thereof shall be effective, except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Lender.

8.3Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Lender, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges, and disbursements of counsel to the Lender in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications, or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender, including the fees, charges, and disbursements of counsel to the Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring, or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender (other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against any and all losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges, and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnitees (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest in which case each such Person may retain its own counsel to the extent required to avoid such conflict) in defending any such claims, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of: (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations under

29

this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom; or (iii) any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation, or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c)To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party hereto shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above will be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, except to the extent such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(d)All amounts due under this Section 8.3 will be payable on demand.

(e)Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.3 will survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Obligations.

8.4Successors and Assigns; Register. The provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender, and the Lender may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except to any current or future Affiliate of the Lender or by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest, and following any such assignment such assignee shall be solely liable for all obligations to fund any increase in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan in accordance with Article II hereunder. Any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto will be null and void. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, will be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties to this Agreement, their respective successors and permitted assigns and, to the extent expressly

30

contemplated by this Agreement, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. The Lender shall record any assignment or transfer of rights by the Lender under this Agreement (including the name and address of such assignee or transferee, the principal amount of Loans and stated interest owing thereto) on a register maintained by the Lender, and no such assignment or transfer shall be effective unless so recorded. Such register shall be conclusive and the Borrower shall treat the Person set forth therein as the Lender for all purposes hereunder.

8.5Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement will be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender and will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and will continue in full force and effect until the Final Payment Date. The provisions of Section 8.3 will survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitment or the termination of this Agreement, or any provision hereof.

8.6Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which constitutes an original, but all of which when taken together constitute a single contract. This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement will become effective when it has been executed by the Lender and when the Lender has received counterparts hereof bearing the signature of the Borrower, and thereafter will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic communication will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

8.7Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction will not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

31

8.8Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender, at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, may set off and apply any obligations at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not the Lender has made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The Lender shall notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application, but the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

8.9Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent To Service Of Process.

(b)Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action, litigation, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment. All claims in respect of any such action, litigation, or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such federal court. A final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Nothing in this Agreement will affect any right that any party hereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party hereto or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(d)Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

32
