(1) if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, the amount of such Indebtedness shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds thereof;

(2) if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness that was outstanding as of the end of such Reference Period or if any Indebtedness is to be repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged on the date of the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Leverage Ratio (other than, in each case, Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving credit agreement), the aggregate amount of Indebtedness shall be calculated on a pro forma basis and EBITDA shall be calculated as if the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary had not earned the interest income, if any, actually earned during the Reference Period in respect of cash or Temporary Cash Investments used to repay, repurchase, defease or otherwise discharge such Indebtedness;

(3) if since the beginning of the Reference Period the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have made any Asset Disposition, the EBITDA for the Reference Period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Disposition for the Reference Period or increased by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for the Reference Period;

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition of assets, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations shall be determined in good faith by a responsible Financial Officer of the Borrower. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness is Incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation to the extent such Indebtedness was Incurred solely for working capital purposes.

(B) the Borrower’s equity in a net loss of any such Person for such period shall be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income to the extent that such loss has been funded with cash by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary;

(2) any net income (or loss) of any Person acquired by the Borrower or a Subsidiary in a pooling of interests transaction (or any transaction accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests) for any period prior to the date of such acquisition;

(3) any net income of any Restricted Subsidiary if such Restricted Subsidiary is subject to restrictions, directly or indirectly, on the date of determination, on the payment of dividends or the making of distributions by such Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to the Borrower, except that:

(A) subject to the exclusion contained in clause (4) below, the Borrower’s equity in the net income of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in such Consolidated Net Income up to the aggregate amount of cash actually distributed by such Restricted Subsidiary during such period to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary as a dividend or other distribution (subject, in the case of a dividend or other distribution paid to another Restricted Subsidiary, to the limitation contained in this clause); and

(B) the Borrower’s equity in a net loss of any such Restricted Subsidiary for such period shall be included in determining such Consolidated Net Income;

The amount of any Disqualified Stock that does not have a fixed redemption, repayment or repurchase price will be calculated in accordance with the terms of such Disqualified Stock as if such Disqualified Stock were redeemed, repaid or repurchased on any date on which the amount of such Disqualified Stock is to be determined pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that if such Disqualified Stock could not be required to be redeemed, repaid or repurchased at the time of such determination, the redemption, repayment or repurchase price will be the book value of such Disqualified Stock as reflected in the most recent financial statements of such Person.

Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.

SECTION 1.05. Effectuation of Transfers. Each of the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Agreement (and all corresponding definitions) are made after giving effect to the Transactions, unless the context otherwise requires.

SECTION 2.01. Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make a loan (individually, an “Initial Loan” and collectively, the “Initial Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Loan Commitment.

(b) The Loan Commitments shall terminate on the earliest of (i) the consummation of the Acquisition without any borrowing under this Agreement, (ii) the termination or lapse of the Merger Agreement, (iii) any date on which the Borrower provides notice to the Lenders that it does not intend to proceed with the Acquisition, and (iv) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 31, 2004, if the Initial Loans are not made on or before such date.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Loan Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. Procedure for Borrowing and Extension. (a) The Borrower shall deliver by hand or by telecopy to the Administrative Agent a notice (the “Borrowing Request”), which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the Closing Date. The Borrowing Request shall be duly completed, irrevocable, signed by or on behalf of the Borrower and shall specify the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, the aggregate amount of the Initial Loans to be borrowed and the date of borrowing. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender. Not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Closing Date, each Lender shall make available by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate an amount equal to such Lender’s Loan Commitment. Loan proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall promptly be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent’s crediting the account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request, with the aggregate amount actually received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(b) If the Borrower will not repay an Initial Loan in full on or prior to the Initial Maturity Date or any Extended Maturity Date applicable to an Extended Loan, then the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), at least 10 Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date or such Extended Maturity Date, requesting an extension of the Maturity Date of the Initial Loans or Extended Loan, as the case may be. Upon receipt of such Officers’ Certificate the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender.

(c) If an Initial Loan has not been repaid in full on or prior to the Initial Maturity Date, then any affected Lender may elect to receive Exchange Notes in exchange for the Loan of such Lender; provided, however, that such Lender may not elect to exchange its outstanding Loan for Exchange Notes in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 unless (i) such Lender intends at the time of such exchange of such Loan promptly to sell the Exchange Notes received in such exchange to a third party or (ii) following such exchange such Lender will not hold any Loan. The Lender may exercise such option to receive Exchange Notes by delivering to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days (or ten Business Days, in the case of any exchange other than on a Maturity Date) prior to the relevant date of exchange a Notice of Extension or Exchange specifying (i) the principal amount of the Loan to be exchanged for Exchange Notes and (ii) if all or any portion of the Exchange Notes are to be sold by such Lender to a third party, the principal amount of such Exchange Notes to be so sold and the principal amount, if any, to be represented by a Fixed Rate Note. The principal amount of the Exchange Notes will equal the entire aggregate principal amount of the Loan for which they are exchanged. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such exchange, any notices given or cure periods commenced while the Loan was outstanding shall be deemed given or commenced (as of the actual dates thereof) for all purposes with respect to the Exchange Note (with the same effect as if the Exchange Note had been outstanding as of the actual dates thereof).

(d) Upon receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent provided for in Section 2.03(b) that an Initial Loan will not be repaid in full on or prior to the Initial Maturity Date or an Extended Loan will not be repaid in full on or prior to the Extended Maturity Date, each affected Lender (unless it has exercised its option to receive Exchange Notes in exchange for the entire aggregate principal amount of its Loan) at least five Business Days prior to a Maturity Date, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Notice of Extension or Exchange specifying (i) the principal amount of such Loan to be extended, which shall be the aggregate principal amount of the Loan of such Lender (unless a portion thereof is being exchanged for Exchange Notes in accordance with Section 2.04(c)) and (ii) the Extended Maturity Date selected by such Lender, which shall be an Interest Payment Date, but in any event shall not be later than the Final Maturity Date.

(e) If the Lender has not delivered a Notice of Extension or Exchange at least five Business Days prior to the relevant Maturity Date and the Loan is not repaid in full on or prior to such Maturity Date, the Loan shall automatically be extended until the last day of the next Interest Period, but in no event to a date later than the Final Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.05. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.07.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form of Exhibit E. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.06. Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that if a Eurocurrency Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10; provided, further, that on or after the Initial Maturity Date, any optional prepayment pursuant to this clause (a) may be applied pro rata among the Loans and any Exchange Notes that are then callable.

(b) If (i) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall Incur any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness Incurred under Section 6.01(b)(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12) or (13), but including any debt Securities issued pursuant to a Securities Demand) or (ii) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall issue any Capital Stock (other than (A) to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) any issuance of Capital Stock in settlement of outstanding litigation and (C) to employees pursuant to a compensation plan in effect on the Closing Date), then an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied promptly (but in no event later than five Business Days) after the receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Loans; provided, however, that, after the Initial Maturity Date, in the event that any callable Exchange Notes are then outstanding, such amount may be applied pro rata to the redemption of such Exchange Notes in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Note Indenture.

(c) (i) If, prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall consummate any Asset Disposition, then an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash therefrom shall be applied promptly (but in no event later than five Business Days) after the receipt thereof toward the prepayment of the Loans; provided, however, that a pro rata portion of such Net Available Cash may be applied toward the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to the extent required by the terms thereof as they existed as of the Closing Date.

(ii) If, following the Initial Maturity Date, the Borrower is required pursuant to the Exchange Note Indenture to redeem Increasing Rate Notes and/or offer to purchase Fixed Rate Notes from the Net Available Cash from any Asset Disposition by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, the Borrower shall apply a portion of such Net Available Cash toward the prepayment of Loans such that the Loans are prepaid on a pro rata basis with (a) the Increasing Rate Notes so redeemed, (b) the amount of such offer to purchase (it being acknowledged that such offer to purchase may be made ratably to holders of Fixed Rate Notes and holders of other Senior Indebtedness, pursuant to Section 4.06 of the Exchange Note Indenture) and (c) the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement to the extent required by the terms thereof as they existed on the Closing Date. Amounts of Net Available Cash offered to and rejected by any holder of a Fixed Rate Note (or other Senior Indebtedness to which such offer is made in accordance with the Exchange Note Indenture) shall be ratably applied to (1) prepay the Loans, (2) redeem any Increasing Rate Notes, (3) purchase any Fixed Rate Notes (and such other Senior Indebtedness) with respect to which the offer to purchase was made and accepted and (4) to the extent required by the terms thereof as they existed as on the Closing Date, repay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The distribution of the relevant prepayment amount hereunder to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent shall be made promptly (but in no event later than five days) after the expiration of any offer to purchase if Fixed Rate Notes are outstanding. If no such Fixed Rate Notes are outstanding, the distribution of the relevant prepayment amount hereunder to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent shall be made as soon as practicable (but in no event later than five days) after receipt thereof.

(d) If the Borrower shall optionally redeem any Exchange Notes pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Note Indenture, then the Borrower shall prepay Loans on a pro rata basis with the Exchange Notes so redeemed.

(e) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loans or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given, the Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.

SECTION 2.07. Interest and Fees. (a) (i) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07(b) and 2.08, Initial Loans shall bear interest for each Interest Period commencing on or after the Closing Date and ending on or before the Initial Maturity Date on the unpaid principal thereof at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of Initial Loans bearing interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate)) equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate in effect for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(b) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any of the Loans or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such Loan shall, without limiting the rights of the Lenders under Article VII, bear interest at a rate per annum that is (A) prior to the Initial Maturity Date, 2.0% above the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin (or 2.0% above the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, as the case may be) and (B) on or after the Initial Maturity Date, 2.0% above the Adjusted Rate plus the Adjusted Margin, in each case from the date of such nonpayment until the amount not so paid is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

(e) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account (for distribution, if and as appropriate, to the Lenders), the fees agreed upon in the Fee Letter at the times, in the amounts and on the terms set forth therein.

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event that the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Interest Period, or the Administrative Agent is advised by any Lender that such Lender is unable to maintain a Loan accruing interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the affected Initial Loans will accrue interest until the Initial Maturity Date at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.10. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the failure to borrow, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (c) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.11. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document (other than the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Note Indenture) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.09, 2.10 or 2.11, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Bridge Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.11 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Bridge Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Bridge Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Bridge Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or under any other Bridge Loan Document, when combined with any payment received by the Trustee under the Exchange Note Indenture, is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Trustee, the Lenders and the Holders of Exchange Notes under this Agreement and the Exchange Note Indenture, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the following order, with appropriate adjustment being made to account for any payment received by the Trustee in respect of the Exchange Notes: first, to the payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates under and in connection with this Agreement, except any amounts payable to any such Person in its role as Lender, as provided in clause “second” of this Section 2.12(b), and to the fees and expenses due and payable to the Trustee under the Exchange Note Indenture; second, to the payment of all expenses due and payable under Section 2.10 and 9.03 and any equivalent section of the Exchange Note Indenture, ratably among the Lenders and the Exchange Note Holders in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each Lender and Exchange Note Holder; third, to the payment of interest and amounts under Sections 2.09 and 2.11, if any, then due and payable on the Loans and the Exchange Notes ratably among the Lenders and Exchange Note Holders in accordance with the aggregate amount of interest owed to each Lender and Exchange Note Holder; and fourth, to the payment of the principal amount of the Loans and the Exchange Notes that is then due and payable, ratably among the Lenders and the Exchange Note Holders in accordance with the aggregate principal amount owed to each such Lender and Exchange Note Holder.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.01(c), 2.12(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.13. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except for Disclosed Matters, and except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Bridge Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legally valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or the order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (d) will not conflict with, or result in a default or event of default under, any agreement binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, (e) will not give rise to a right under any agreement binding upon the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets to require any material payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (f) will not result in the creation or imposition of any material Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except, in the case of clauses (a), (b) and (d), as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) audited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of each of the Borrower and the Target Company for the three most recently completed fiscal years, (ii) unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of each of the Borrower and the Target Company for each subsequent fiscal quarter ended at least 30 days before the Effective Date (and comparable periods for the prior fiscal year), which, in the case of such statements of the Borrower, are certified by its chief financial officer and (iii) monthly financial performance reports prepared for the Board of Directors for each fiscal month after the most recent fiscal period for which financial statements were received by the Lenders as described above and ended at least 30 days before the Effective Date. The financial statements described in clauses (i) and (ii) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries and of (to the knowledge of the Borrower) the Target Company as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

(b) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) pro forma statements of operations of the Borrower for the most recently completed fiscal year and the interim period of the current fiscal year ending on the last day of the last fiscal quarter ended at least 30 days before the Effective Date, prepared to give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on the first day of the most recently completed fiscal year and (ii) a pro forma consolidated and consolidating balance sheet of the Borrower as of the last day of the fiscal quarter most recently ended prior to the Effective Date, prepared to give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on such date. Such pro forma financial statements (A) have been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable, (B) are based on the best information available to the Borrower after due inquiry and (C) present fairly, in all material respects, the pro forma financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods indicated as if the Transactions had occurred on the dates indicated.

(c) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto and except for the Disclosed Matters, after giving effect to the Transactions, none of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries has, as of the Effective Date, any material contingent liabilities, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses.

(d) Since December 31, 2003, there has not occurred any event, condition or circumstance that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations or liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Borrower or the Target Company or their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.05, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes.

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) Except for the Disclosed Matters, there are no governmental or judicial actions, actual or (to the knowledge of the Borrower) threatened, or litigation or arbitration with any third party (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that could reasonably be expected to restrain, prevent or impose burdensome conditions on, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the ability of the parties to consummate, the Transactions.

(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters and except with respect to any other matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all laws, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except for Disclosed Matters, and except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3.08. Investment and Holding Company Status. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or (b) a “holding company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Except for the Disclosed Matters, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) any Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA. Except for the Disclosed Matters, no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of June 30, 2004, exceed by more than $25.0 million the fair market value of the assets of such Plan.

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to any of them, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains (solely with respect to the Target Company, to the knowledge of the Borrower) any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

SECTION 3.12. Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures. The Borrower does not have any Subsidiaries other than the Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 3.12. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary holds any Capital Stock in any joint venture other than those set forth on Schedule 3.12. Schedule 3.12 sets forth as of the Effective Date the name of, and the ownership interest of the Borrower in (i) each Subsidiary of the Borrower and (ii) each joint venture in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary holds any Capital Stock, in each case as of the Effective Date. Schedule 3.12 sets forth as of the Effective Date each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor.

SECTION 3.13. Insurance. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, all premiums in respect of such insurance have been paid. The Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is adequate.

SECTION 3.14. Labor Matters. As of the Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters. All payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound.

SECTION 3.15. Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Effective Date and immediately following the making of each Loan made on the Effective Date and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, on a consolidated basis, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Effective Date.

SECTION 4.01. Effective Date. The obligations of the Lenders to make Initial Loans hereunder shall not become effective until the date on which each of the following conditions is satisfied (or waived in accordance with Section 9.02):

(a) The Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received from each party hereto either (i) a counterpart of this Agreement signed on behalf of such party or (ii) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy transmission of a signed signature page of this Agreement) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have received a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and dated the Effective Date) of Latham & Watkins LLP, counsel for the Borrower, substantially in the form of Exhibit B. The Borrower hereby requests such counsel to deliver such opinion.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall have received such documents and certificates as the Administrative Agent or its counsel may reasonably request relating to the organization, existence and good standing of each Loan Party, the authorization of the Transactions and any other legal matters relating to the Loan Parties, the Bridge Loan Documents or the Transactions, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the Effective Date and signed by the President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Borrower, confirming compliance with the conditions set forth in paragraph (l) of this Section 4.01.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable on or prior to the Effective Date, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) required to be reimbursed or paid by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall have received evidence that the insurance required by Section 5.06 is in effect.

(g) All consents and approvals required to be obtained from any Governmental Authority or other Person in connection with the Transactions shall have been obtained, and all applicable waiting periods and appeal periods (including any extensions thereof) shall have expired, in each case without the imposition of any burdensome conditions. The Acquisition shall have been, or substantially simultaneously with the funding of Loans on the Effective Date shall be, consummated in accordance with the Acquisition Documents and applicable law, without any amendment to or waiver of any material terms or conditions of the Acquisition Documents not approved by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 6.03. Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Borrower, (b) make any loans or advances to the Borrower or (c) transfer any of its property or assets to the Borrower, except:

(B) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to an agreement relating to any Indebtedness Incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary on or prior to the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Borrower (other than Indebtedness Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Borrower) and outstanding on such date;

(C) any encumbrance or restriction pursuant to an agreement effecting a Refinancing of Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in Section 6.03(1)(A) or (B) or this clause (C) or contained in any amendment to an agreement referred to in Section 6.03(1)(A) or (B) or this clause (C); provided, however, that the encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in any such refinancing agreement or amendment are no less favorable to the Borrower than encumbrances and restrictions with respect to such Restricted Subsidiary contained in such predecessor agreements;

(D) any encumbrance or restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary pending the closing of such sale or disposition; and

(E) any encumbrance or restriction arising by reason of applicable law, rule or regulation; and

(F) any encumbrance or restriction consisting of customary nonassignment provisions in leases and licenses governing leasehold interests or licenses to the extent such provisions restrict the transfer of the lease or license or the property leased or licensed thereunder; and

(G) any encumbrance or restriction (including Permitted Liens) contained in security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness (including Capital Lease Obligations) of a Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such encumbrance or restriction restricts the transfer of the property subject to such security agreements or mortgages.

The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Disposition unless (1) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition and (2) at least 75% of the consideration thereof received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or cash equivalents.

For the purposes of this Section 6.04, the following are deemed to be cash or cash equivalents: (i) the assumption or discharge of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition and (ii) securities received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted within 90 days by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion.

SECTION 6.05. Limitation on Affiliate Transactions. (a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into or permit to exist any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, employee compensation arrangements or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Borrower (an “Affiliate Transaction”) unless (1) the terms thereof are no less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained at the time of the Affiliate Transaction in arm’s-length dealings with a Person who is not an Affiliate; (2) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $5.0 million, the terms of the Affiliate Transaction are set forth in writing and a majority of the directors of the Borrower disinterested with respect to such Affiliate Transaction have determined in good faith that the criteria set forth in clause (1) are satisfied and have approved the relevant Affiliate Transaction as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors; and (3) if such Affiliate Transaction involves an amount in excess of $10.0 million, the Board of Directors shall also have received a written opinion from an Independent Qualified Party to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries or is not less favorable to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries than could reasonably be expected to be obtained at the time in an arm’s-length transaction with a Person who was not an Affiliate.

(b) The provisions of Section 6.05(a) shall not prohibit (1) any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) or other Restricted Payment, in each case permitted to be made pursuant to (but only to the extent included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments made pursuant to paragraph (a)(3) of) Section 6.02; (2) employment agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and benefit plans approved by the Board of Directors, and any issuance of securities, or other payments, awards or grants in cash, securities or otherwise pursuant to, or the funding of, employment arrangements, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Board of Directors, (3) loans or advances to employees in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the past practices of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, but in any event not to exceed $3.0 million in the aggregate outstanding at any one time; (4) the payment of reasonable fees to directors of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries who are not employees of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (5) customary arrangements for indemnity provided for the benefit of directors, officers or employees of the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; (6) any transaction with the Borrower, a Restricted Subsidiary or joint venture or similar entity which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Restricted Subsidiary, joint venture or similar entity; (7) the issuance or sale of any Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Borrower; and (8) transfers of lease receivables and related assets to Symbolease Funding LLC pursuant to the Bank of Tokyo Securitization consistent with past practice.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Line of Business. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, to engage in any business other than a Related Business.

SECTION 6.07. Limitation on the Sale or Issuance of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower:

(1) shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary to any Person (other than to the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary); and

(2) shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any of its Capital Stock (other than, if necessary, shares of its Capital Stock constituting directors’ or other legally required qualifying shares) to any Person (other than the Borrower or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) unless

(A) immediately after giving effect to such issuance, sale or other disposition, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries own any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary; or

(B) immediately after giving effect to such issuance, sale or other disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary would no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person remaining after giving effect thereto is treated as a new Investment by the Borrower and such Investment would be permitted to be made under Section 6.02 if made on the date of such issuance, sale or other disposition.

For purposes of this Section 6.07, the creation of a Lien on any Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary to secure Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 6.07; provided, however, that any sale or other disposition by the secured party of such Capital Stock following foreclosure of its Lien will be subject to this Section 6.07.

SECTION 6.08. Change of Control. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Lender shall have the right to require that the Borrower prepay such Lender’s Loans at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment, in accordance with the terms contemplated in Section 6.08(b).

(b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall mail a notice to each Lender with a copy to the Administrative Agent (the “Change of Control Offer”) stating:

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Lender has the right to require the Borrower to prepay such Lender’s Loans at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment;

(3) the prepayment date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and

(4) the instructions, as determined by the Borrower, consistent with this Section, that a Lender must follow in order to have its Loans prepaid.

(c) Lenders electing to have Loans prepaid shall be required to give notice of such election, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Administrative Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the prepayment date. Lenders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Administrative Agent receives not later than one Business Day prior to the prepayment date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Lender, the principal amount of the Loan with respect to which a prepayment election was made and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing his election to have such Loan prepaid.

SECTION 6.09. Limitation on Liens. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist any Lien (the “Initial Lien”) of any nature whatsoever on any of its properties (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, securing any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Liens, without effectively providing that the Loans shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligations so secured for so long as such obligations are so secured.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Lenders pursuant to the preceding sentence shall provide by its terms that such Lien shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of the Initial Lien.

SECTION 6.10. Limitation on Sale/Leaseback Transactions. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale/Leaseback Transaction with respect to any property unless (1) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to (A) Incur Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale/Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 6.01 and (B) create a Lien on such property securing such Attributable Debt without equally and ratably securing the Loans pursuant to Section 6.09; (2) the net proceeds received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Sale/Leaseback Transaction are at least equal to the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of such property; and (3) the Borrower applies the proceeds of such transaction in compliance with Section 2.06(c).

SECTION 6.11. When Borrower May Merge or Transfer Assets. (a) The Borrower shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or a series of transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless:

(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor Company (if not the Borrower) shall expressly assume, by an amendment to this Agreement, executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, all the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents;

(2) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(3) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Successor Company is less than 3.0 to 1; and

(4) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such amendment to this Agreement (if any) comply with this Agreement;

provided, however, that clause (3) will not be applicable to (A) a Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with, merging into or transferring all or part of its properties and assets to the Borrower (so long as no Capital Stock of the Borrower is distributed to any Person) or (B) the Borrower merging with an Affiliate of the Borrower solely for the purpose and with the sole effect of reincorporating the Borrower in another jurisdiction.

For purposes of this Section 6.11, the sale, lease, conveyance, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Borrower, which properties and assets, if held by the Borrower instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower.

The Successor Company shall be the successor to the Borrower and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower under this Agreement, and the Borrower, except in the case of a lease, shall be released from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease, in one transaction or series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets to any Person unless: (1) except in the case of a Subsidiary Guarantor (A) that has been disposed of in its entirety to another Person (other than to the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower), whether through a merger, consolidation or sale of Capital Stock or assets or (B) that, as a result of the disposition of all or a portion of its Capital Stock (other than to an Affiliate of the Borrower), ceases to be a Subsidiary, in both cases, if in connection therewith the Borrower provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent to the effect that the Borrower will comply with its obligations under Sections 2.06(c) and 6.04 in respect of such disposition, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not such Subsidiary) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction under which such Subsidiary was organized or under the laws of the United States of America, or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and such Person shall expressly assume, by a Guaranty Agreement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, all the obligations of such Subsidiary, if any, under its Subsidiary Guaranty; (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee Person as a result of such transaction as having been issued by such Person at the time of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and (3) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such Guaranty Agreement, if any, comply with this Agreement.

SECTION 6.12. Amendment of Material Documents. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, amend, modify or waive any of its rights under (a) the agreement governing the SAILs Debt in any manner that increases the Obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries thereunder or (b) the provisions of the Exchange Note Indenture relating to Asset Dispositions and the application of Net Available Cash therefrom, including Section 4.06 of the Exchange Note Indenture and the definitions related thereto as set forth in Exhibit C hereto, in any manner adverse to the Lenders.

SECTION 6.13. Prohibition on Negative Pledges. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Foreign Subsidiary) to, enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person which prohibits or limits the ability of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to create, Incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon its property, assets or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except such agreements, arrangements or understandings (i) as in effect on the Closing Date pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (ii) pursuant to the Bridge Loan Documents and (iii) in respect of Securities.

SECTION 6.14. Leverage Ratio. The Borrower will not permit, as of any date following the Closing Date and on or prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the ratio of (i) Total Debt as of such date to (ii) EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ended for which internal financial statements are available, to exceed 1.75 to 1.0.

SECTION 6.15. Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on any date following the Closing Date and on or prior to the Initial Maturity Date to be less than 4.0 to 1.0.

SECTION 6.17. SAILs Debt. The Borrower shall not elect to settle the SAILs Debt in cash or terminate the SAILs Debt in a manner that would require any payment of cash by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of such termination.

Prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the Events of Default and related provisions set forth in Section 7.01 shall apply. On and after the Initial Maturity Date, the Events of Default and related provisions set forth in Section 7.01 shall be deemed, without notice to, consent of or any action by any holder or beneficial owner of Loans or Exchange Notes or any other Person, to have been replaced by the Events of Default and related provisions set forth in Section 7.02 (which shall not apply prior to the Initial Maturity Date).

If a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Initial Maturity Date, the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall not affect any such Default or Event of Default (or the actions or circumstances necessary to cure any such Default or Event of Default) and any notices given or cure periods commenced prior to such date with respect to any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed given or commenced as of the actual dates thereof for all purposes.

SECTION 7.01. Events of Default Prior to Initial Maturity Date. Prior to the Initial Maturity Date (subject to the immediately preceding paragraph), each of the events set out in this Section 7.01 is an Event of Default:

(f) The Borrower or any Subsidiary shall fail to make any payment (whether of principal or interest and regardless of amount) in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable;

(g) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with or without the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity; provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness;

(h) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or its debts, or of a substantial part of its assets, under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Borrower or any Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 60 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered;

(i) the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or petition described in clause (h) of this Section, (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Borrower or any Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets, (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding, (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or (vi) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing;

(l) an ERISA Event (other than Disclosed Matters) shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect ; or

(m) any Guaranty purported to be created under any Bridge Loan Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party not to be, in full force and effect, except upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which the Subsidiary Guarantor providing such Guaranty ceases to be a Subsidiary;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Loan Commitments, and thereupon the Loan Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section, the Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

SECTION 7.02. Events of Default Following Initial Maturity Date. On and after the Initial Maturity Date, each of the events set out in this Section 7.02 is an Event of Default:

A Default under clause (d) or (e) is not an Event of Default until the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Loans notify the Borrower of the Default and the Borrower does not cure such Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”.

The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (f) or (j) and any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (d), (e) or (i), its status and what action the Borrower is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 7.02(g) or (h) with respect to the Borrower) occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent by notice to the Borrower, or the Lenders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Loans by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, may declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Loans to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 7.02(g) or (h) with respect to the Borrower occurs, the principal of and interest on all the Loans shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Required Lenders by notice to the Administrative Agent may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Bridge Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Bridge Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Bridge Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Bridge Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Bridge Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Bridge Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Bridge Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Bridge Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Bridge Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 9.01. Notices. (a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to paragraph (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

(i) if to the Borrower, to it at Symbol Technologies, Inc., One Symbol Plaza, Holtsville, New York 11742, Attention of Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and General Counsel (Telecopy No. (631) 738-5980);

(ii) if to the Administrative Agent, to JPMorgan Chase Bank, Loan and Agency Services Group, 1111 Fannin Street, 10th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002, Attention of James DeLeon (Telecopy No. (713) 750-2666), with a copy to JPMorgan Chase Bank, 1411 Broadway, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10018, Attention of Jon Goplerud (Telecopy No. (212) 391-6251);

(iii) if to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Bridge Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Bridge Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Bridge Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Bridge Loan Document (other than the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Note Indenture) nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other such Bridge Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Loan Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan (except as expressly provided in this Agreement) or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Loan Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.12(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Bridge Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guaranty (except as expressly provided in this Agreement), or limit its liability in respect of such Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) place additional restrictions on the right to exchange Loans for Exchange Notes or modify the rate of such exchange or (viii) change any provisions of the Exchange Notes or the Exchange Notes Indenture that require (or would require if any Exchange Notes were outstanding) the approval of all Holders of Exchange Notes; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the requisite percentage in interest of the Lenders that will remain parties hereto after giving effect to such amendment if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Loan Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein (whose consent would otherwise be required) shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto (whose consent would otherwise be required) receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein (including expenses incurred in connection with due diligence), the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Bridge Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single transaction and documentation counsel and such other local counsel and special counsel as may be required in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Bridge Loan Documents, 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 Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single lead counsel and such other local counsel and special counsel as may be required in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, relating to, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Bridge Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Bridge Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective 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; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total outstanding Loans or unused Loan Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loan Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loan Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Loan Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.11 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Loan Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower (but subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent), sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loan Commitment or the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.09 or 2.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.11(e) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Bridge Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Bridge Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Loan Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.09, 2.10, 2.11 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Loan Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Bridge Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender constitute 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. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall 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 telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, 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 shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court 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 or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Bridge Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall 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 or any other Bridge Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER BRIDGE LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Bridge Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.01. Guaranties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each Lender and to the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns (a) the full and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Loans when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, and all other monetary obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Bridge Loan Documents (other than the Exchange Notes and the Exchange Note Indenture) and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and such other Bridge Loan Documents (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such Subsidiary Guarantor will remain bound under this Article X notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any default on the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (1) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this Agreement, the other Bridge Loan Documents or any other agreement or otherwise; (2) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (3) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the other Bridge Loan Documents or any other agreement; (4) the release of any security held by any Lender or the Administrative Agent for the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them; (5) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (6) except as set forth in Section 10.06, any change in the ownership of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guaranty herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Except as expressly set forth in Sections 10.02 and 10.06, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, the other Bridge Loan Documents or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Guaranty herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender or the Administrative Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Lender or the Administrative Agent has at law or in equity against any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay the principal of or interest on any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the sum of (A) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (B) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (C) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article VII for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guaranty herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VII, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Section.

SECTION 10.02. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations Guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby Guaranteed without rendering this Agreement, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

SECTION 10.03. Successors and Assigns. This Article X shall be, subject to Section 10.06, binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall enure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Agreement and in the other Bridge Loan Documents shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.04. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article X shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article X at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

SECTION 10.05. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article X, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 10.06. Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from its obligations under this Article X (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 10.07):

(1) upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or of such Subsidiary Guarantor) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of a Subsidiary Guarantor;

(2) upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor;

(3) upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(4) at such time as such Subsidiary Guarantor does not have any Indebtedness outstanding that would have required such Subsidiary Guarantor to enter into a Guaranty Agreement pursuant to Section 5.14 and the Borrower provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent certifying that no such Indebtedness is outstanding and that the Borrower elects to have such Subsidiary Guarantor released from this Article X;

(5) upon the full satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement;

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale or other disposition is made to a Person other than the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower, (ii) such sale or disposition is otherwise permitted by this Agreement and (iii) the Borrower provides an Officers’ Certificate to the Administrative Agent to the effect that the Borrower will comply with its obligations under Sections 2.06(c) and 6.04.

At the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.

SECTION 10.07. Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guaranty shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
