(vi) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Lender's obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are -------- subject to the condition that Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 3.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made, or the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived by the Requisite Lenders prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default or (B) at a time when a Funding Default exists unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate Swing Line Lender's risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender's participation in such Swing Ling Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans. 2.3. ISSUANCE OF LETTERS OF CREDIT AND PURCHASE OF PARTICIPATIONS THEREIN. (a) Letters of Credit. During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Company in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall be an amount not less than $100,000; (iii) after giving effect to such FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 30 issuance, in no event shall the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect; (iv) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect; (v) in no event shall any standby Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such standby Letter of Credit; and (vi) in no event shall any commercial Letter of Credit (x) have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is 270 days from the date of issuance of such commercial Letter of Credit or (b) be issued if such commercial Letter of Credit is otherwise unacceptable to Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Issuing Bank may agree that a standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period; provided, Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension; provided, further, in the event a Funding Default exists, Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate Issuing Bank's risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage. (b) Notice of Issuance. Whenever Company desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Issuance Notice no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by Issuing Bank in any particular instance) in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with Issuing Bank's standard operating procedures. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender's respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3(e). (c) Responsibility of Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between Company and Issuing Bank, Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 31 any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, other than the failure to submit to the Issuing Bank documents under such Letter of Credit that appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Bank's rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, and in the absence of gross negligence on the part of the Issuing Bank, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of Issuing Bank to Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.3(c), Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank. (d) Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify Company and Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse Issuing Bank on or before the second Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the "REIMBURSEMENT DATE") in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Company shall have notified Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the date such drawing is honored that Company intends to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to Administrative Agent requesting Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 3.2, Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, Company shall reimburse Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.3(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.3(d). (e) Lenders' Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 32 deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Company shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.3(d), Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender's respective participation therein based on such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender shall make available to Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Issuing Bank specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to Issuing Bank on such business day the amount of such Lender's participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.3(e), Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.3(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.3(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.3(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender's Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Bank from Company in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Lender may request. (f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Company to reimburse Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.3(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.3(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Company or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Bank, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Company, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Company or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 33 party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question. (g) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of Company under Section 10.2 or 10.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, Company hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank or (2) the wrongful dishonor by Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act. 2.4. PRO RATA SHARES; AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS. (a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender's obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby. (b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender's Loan requested on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Company a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent's demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Company and Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.4(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Company may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 34 2.5. USE OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit shall be applied by Company for working capital and general corporate purposes of Company and its Subsidiaries, including Capital Expenditures and Permitted Acquisitions. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act. 2.6. EVIDENCE OF DEBT; REGISTER; LENDERS' BOOKS AND RECORDS; NOTES. (a) Lenders' Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Company to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender's Revolving Commitments or Company's Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender's records, the recordations in the Register shall govern. (b) Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The Register shall be available for inspection by Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Company and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender's Revolving Commitments or Company's Obligations in respect of any Loan. Company hereby designates Foothill to serve as Company's agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.6, and Company hereby agrees that, to the extent Foothill serves in such capacity, Foothill and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute "Indemnitees." (c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Company shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Company's receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender's Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. 2.7. INTEREST ON LOANS. (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows: FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 35 (i) in the case of Revolving Loans: (1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus 2.25%; or (2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 3.25%; and (ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus 2.25%. (b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans only), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by Company and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. (c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than six (6) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Company fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender. (d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day's interest shall be paid on that Loan. FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 36 (e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan; (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date. (f) Company agrees to pay to Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Company at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. (g) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.7(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.7(f), Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.3(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by Company. 2.8. CONVERSION/CONTINUATION. (a) Subject to Section 2.16 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Company shall have the option: (i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Revolving Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Company shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.16 in connection with any such conversion; or FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 37 (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan. (b) Company shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Company shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. 2.9. DEFAULT INTEREST. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans); provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.9 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender. 2.10. FEES. (a) Company agrees to pay to Lenders having Revolving Exposure: (i) commitment fees equal to (1) the average of the daily difference between (a) the Revolving Commitments, and (b) the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans (but not any outstanding Swing Line Loans) plus (y) the Letter of Credit Usage, times (2) 1.25% per annum; and (ii) letter of credit fees equal to (1) 3.25% per annum, times (2) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all such Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination). All fees referred to in this Section 2.10(a) shall be paid to Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and upon receipt, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof. FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 38 (b) Company agrees to pay directly to Issuing Bank, for its own account, the following fees: (i) a fronting fee equal to 0.30%, per annum, times the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit (determined as of the close of business on any date of determination); and (ii) such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with Issuing Bank's standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be. (c) All fees referred to in Section 2.10(a) and 2.10(b)(i) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year during the Revolving Commitment Period, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. (d) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Company agrees to pay to Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon. 2.11. VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS/COMMITMENT REDUCTIONS. (a) Voluntary Prepayments. (i) Any time and from time to time: (1) with respect to Base Rate Loans, Company may prepay any such Revolving Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount; (2) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, Company may prepay any such Revolving Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount; and (3) with respect to Swing Line Loans, Company may prepay any such Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000, and in integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of that amount. FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 39 (ii) All such prepayments shall be made: (1) upon not less than one Business Day's prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Base Rate Loans; (2) upon not less than three Business Days' prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans; and (3) upon written or telephonic notice on the date of prepayment, in the case of Swing Line Loans; in each case given to Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for Revolving Loans by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender) or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.13(a). (b) Voluntary Commitment Reductions. (i) Company may, upon not less than three Business Days' prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided, any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount.

FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 41 (e) Revolving Loans and Swing Loans. Company shall from time to time prepay first, the Swing Line Loans, and second, the Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

APPLICATION OF PREPAYMENTS/REDUCTIONS. (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied as specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided, in the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied as follows: first, to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof; and second, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof.

GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING PAYMENTS. (a) All payments by Company of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 42 York City time) on the date due at Administrative Agent's Principal Office for the account of Lenders; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding Business Day. (b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid. (c) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address or by wire transfer to such account as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender's applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter. (e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of "Interest Period", whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder. (f) Company hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge Company's accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose). (g) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Company hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Company and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.9 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full. (h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 43 applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 7.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement. 2.15. RATABLE SHARING. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the "AGGREGATE AMOUNTS DUE" to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. 2.16. MAKING OR MAINTAINING EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS. (a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Company with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Company. FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 44 (b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Company and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an "AFFECTED LENDER" and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender's obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the "AFFECTED LOANS") shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Company shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.16(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.16(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof. (c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 45 prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company. (d) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender. (e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.16 and under Section 2.17 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.16 and under Section 2.17. 2.17. INCREASED COSTS; CAPITAL ADEQUACY. (a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.18 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.17(a)) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or initial applicability after the Closing Date of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 46 to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.17(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. (b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.17(b)) shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or initial applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Company from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.17(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. 2.18. TAXES; WITHHOLDING, ETC. (a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment. (b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 47 payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.18(b)) under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Company shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it; (ii) Company shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (iii) above except to the extent that any change after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date hereof or at the date of such Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender. (c) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a "NON-US LENDER") shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a "bank" or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 48 Documents. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.18(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI , or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under Section 2.18(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the second sentence of this Section 2.18(c), or (2) to notify Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.18(c) on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.18(c) shall relieve Company of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.18 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein. (d) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank determines, in its sole judgment, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18, it shall pay to the Company an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Company under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Company, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person. FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 49 2.19. OBLIGATION TO MITIGATE. Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.19 unless Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described in clause (i) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Company pursuant to this Section 2.19 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 2.20. DEFAULTING LENDERS. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender defaults (a "DEFAULTING LENDER") in its obligation to fund (a "FUNDING DEFAULT") any Revolving Loan or its portion of any unreimbursed payment under Section 2.2(b)(iv) or 2.3(e) (in each case, a "DEFAULTED LOAN"), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a "Lender" for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall, if Company so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b); (c) such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and such Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Revolving Commitment fee payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.10 with respect to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 50 such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. No Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.20, performance by Company of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.20.

No material liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan (other than for routine and reasonable claims for benefits in the ordinary course) or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not materially exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is not material. Company, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material "default" (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan. 4.21. CERTAIN FEES. No broker's or finder's fee or commission will be payable with respect hereto or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. 4.22. SOLVENCY.

Company has delivered to Syndication Agent and Administrative Agent complete and correct copies of each Related Agreement and of all exhibits and schedules thereto as of the date hereof. (b) Representations and Warranties. Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth herein or in the schedules hereto, and subject to the qualifications set forth therein, each of the representations and warranties given by any Credit Party in any Related Agreement is true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (or as of any earlier date to which such representation and warranty specifically relates). Notwithstanding anything in the Related Agreement to the contrary, the representations and warranties of each Credit Party set forth in this Section 4.23 shall, solely for purposes hereof, survive the Closing Date for the benefit of Lenders. FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 63 (c) Governmental Approvals. All Governmental Authorizations and all other authorizations, approvals and consents of any other Person required by the Related Agreements or to consummate the Refinancing have been obtained and are in full force and effect. (d) Conditions Precedent. On the Closing Date, (i) all of the conditions to effecting or consummating the Refinancing set forth in the Related Agreements have been duly satisfied or, with the consent of Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent, waived, and (ii) the Refinancing has been consummated, except with respect to the Unpaid Refinancing Amount, in accordance with the Related Agreements and all applicable laws. 4.24. COMPLIANCE WITH STATUTES, ETC. Each of Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Real Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such Real Estate Asset or the operations of Company or any of its Subsidiaries), except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 4.25. DISCLOSURE. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of Company or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to Company, in the case of any document not furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Company to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to Company (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, in the offering circular for the Senior Subordinated Notes). SECTION 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS Each Credit Party covenants and agrees that so long as any Commitment is in effect and until payment in full of all Obligations and cancellation or expiration of all Letters of Credit, each Credit Party shall perform, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants in this Section 5. 5.1.

Section 362(a)) (collectively, the "GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS"). 7.2. CONTRIBUTION BY GUARANTORS. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the "CONTRIBUTING GUARANTORS"), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a "FUNDING GUARANTOR") under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor's Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. "FAIR SHARE" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. "FAIR SHARE CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 83 or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the "FAIR SHARE CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT" with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. "AGGREGATE PAYMENTS" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2. 7.3. PAYMENT BY GUARANTORS. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Company's becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid. 7.4. LIABILITY OF GUARANTORS ABSOLUTE. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows: (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectibility. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety; (b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty, to the extent otherwise enforceable in accordance with its terms, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default; FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 84 (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Company is joined in any such action or actions; (d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor's liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor's covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor's liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Company or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or the Hedge Agreements; and (f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 85 otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or the Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary's consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Company or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Company may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) 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 any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. 7.5. WAIVERS BY GUARANTORS. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary's errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor's FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 86 liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof. 7.6. GUARANTORS' RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION, CONTRIBUTION, ETC. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Company, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Company, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof. 7.7. SUBORDINATION OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS. Any Indebtedness of Company or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the "OBLIGEE GUARANTOR") is hereby FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 87 subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof. 7.8. CONTINUING GUARANTY. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations. 7.9. AUTHORITY OF GUARANTORS OR COMPANY. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Company or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them. 7.10. FINANCIAL CONDITION OF COMPANY. Any Credit Extension may be made to Company or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Company at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor's assessment, of the financial condition of Company. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Company and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Company now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary. 7.11. BANKRUPTCY, ETC. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Company or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Company or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding. (b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 88 interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Company of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced. (c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Company, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder. 7.12. DISCHARGE OF GUARANTY UPON SALE OF GUARANTOR. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale. Administrative Agent agrees to execute and deliver, at the written request of Company and at its sole cost and expense, such documents as may be reasonably requested by Company in order to evidence and confirm the discharge and release provided by this Section 7.12.

(g) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the "Effective Date" specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a "Lender" hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a "Lender" for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (y) Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Revolving Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Company shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. (h) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Revolving Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant's participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Revolving Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant's participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 102 Company agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16(c), 2.17 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.17 or 2.18 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 Company's prior written consent and (ii) a participant that would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless Company is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of Company, to comply with Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender. (i) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, (i) any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between Company and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a "Lender" or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. 10.7. INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. 10.8. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension.

NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 103 right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy. 10.10. MARSHALLING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. 10.11. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 10.12. OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL; INDEPENDENT NATURE OF LENDERS' RIGHTS. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Revolving Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. 10.13. HEADINGS. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. 10.14. APPLICABLE LAW.

Each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding Company and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Company and provided to such Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Company that, in any event, a Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender and to their agents and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), provided that each of such Persons is advised of and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.17, (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) in Hedge Agreements (provided, such counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, and (iv) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify Company of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each party (and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitations of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to any such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the parties hereto, their respective Affiliates, and their and their respective Affiliates' directors and employees to comply with applicable securities laws. For this purpose, "tax structure" means any facts relevant to the federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement but does not include information relating to the identity of any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates. 10.18. USURY SAVINGS CLAUSE. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION 106 interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Company shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender's option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Company. 10.19. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. 10.20. EFFECTIVENESS. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Company and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. 10.21. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "PATRIOT ACT"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the security interest of the Collateral Agent shall attach to all Investment Related Property immediately upon any Grantor's acquisition of rights therein and shall not be affected by the failure of any Grantor to deliver a supplement to Schedule 4.4 as required hereby; (ii) except as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor receives any dividends, interest or distributions on any Investment Related Property, or any securities or other property upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any Investment Related Property, then (a) such dividends, interest or distributions and securities or other property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without further action and (b) such Grantor shall immediately take all steps, if any, necessary or advisable to ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, control of the Collateral Agent over such Investment Related Property (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral Agent) and pending any such action such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends, interest, distributions, securities or other property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall segregate such dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other property of such Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent authorizes each Grantor to retain all ordinary cash dividends and distributions paid in the normal course of the business of the issuer and consistent with the past practice of the issuer and all scheduled payments of interest; (iii) each Grantor consents to the grant by each other Grantor of a Security Interest in all Investment Related Property to the Collateral Agent. (b) Delivery and Control. Each Grantor agrees that with respect to any Investment Related Property in which it currently has rights it shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) on or before the Credit Date and with respect to any Investment Related Property hereafter acquired by such Grantor it shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) promptly upon acquiring rights therein, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

With respect to any Investment Related Property having a value in excess of $100,000 that is an "uncertificated security" for purposes of the UCC (other than any "uncertificated securities" credited to a Securities Account), it shall use its 16 commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of such uncertificated security to either (i) register the Collateral Agent as the registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or (ii) execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, pursuant to which such issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Agent's instructions with respect to such uncertificated security without further consent by such Grantor.

The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. SECTION 7. REMEDIES. 7.1 GENERALLY. (a) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, subject to the terms of and in the manner contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously: (i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process; (iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and (iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. (b) The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose 28 of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it may not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, in any case so long as such action would be commercially reasonable under the circumstances. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. (c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. (d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral. 7.2 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement , and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Agent against, the Secured Obligations in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable and actual compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, liabilities and advances made or 29 incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent and not as a Lender) and all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Lender Counterparties; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of such Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. 7.3 SALES ON CREDIT. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. 7.4 DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply the balance from any Deposit Account or instruct the bank at which any Deposit Account is maintained to pay the balance of any Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent. 7.5 INVESTMENT RELATED PROPERTY. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 30 7.6 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. (a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default: (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent's sole discretion, to enforce any Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably required by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 10 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce any Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use all reasonable measures, whether by action, suit, proceeding or otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantor's rights in the Intellectual Property by others and for that purpose agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation; (ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent an absolute assignment of all of such Grantor's right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement; (iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent (or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon, the Intellectual Property; (iv) within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor's power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor's employ on the date of such Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks, Trademark Licenses, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent's behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Agent at such Grantor's expense on a per diem, pro-rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Event of Default; and (v) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done; 31 (1) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7 hereof; and (2) Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon. (b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver, modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of any rights, title and interests in and to the Intellectual Property shall have been previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantor's sole cost and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid, subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agent's security interest granted pursuant hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties. (c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 7 and at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located. 7.7 CASH PROCEEDS. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing. SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT. The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action 32 (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement; provided, the Collateral Agent shall, after payment in full of all Obligations (excluding contingent obligations in respect of customary indemnification liabilities that survive termination of the Credit Documents or such Person's release or discharge therefrom) under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein in accordance with the instructions of the holders of a majority of the aggregate notional amount (or, with respect to any Hedge Agreement that has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the amount then due and payable (exclusive of expenses and similar payments but including any early termination payments then due) under such Hedge Agreement) under all Hedge Agreements. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lenders/Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section. Collateral Agent may resign or be removed and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed, all in accordance with Section 9.7 of the Credit Agreement. SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (excluding contingent obligations in respect of customary indemnification liabilities that survive termination of the Credit Documents or such Person's release or discharge therefrom), the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the cancellation or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Thereafter, this Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Grantor or any other Person or otherwise, all as though the payment had not been made. Upon any such termination the Collateral Agent shall, at Grantors' expense, execute and deliver to Grantors such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if 33 such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement. SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Credit Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAWS). 34 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned in the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of February 4, 2004, (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT") among the Pledgor and the Collateral Agents. All references herein to the "UCC" shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York. SECTION 1. PRIORITY OF LIEN. Pursuant to that certain Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of February 4, 2004 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "FIRST LIEN SECURITY AGREEMENT"), among the Pledgor, the other grantors party thereto and the First Lien Collateral Agent, and that certain Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of February 4, 2004 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "SECOND LIEN SECURITY AGREEMENT"; and together with the First Lien Security Agreement, the "SECURITY AGREEMENTS"), among the Pledgor, the other grantors party thereto and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Pledgor has granted a security interest in all of the Pledgor's rights in the Pledged Shares referred to in Section 2 below to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, respectively. The First Lien Collateral Agent and Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Pledgor and the Issuer are entering into this Agreement to perfect each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent's security interest in such Pledged Shares. As between the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have a first priority security interest in such Pledged Shares and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have a second priority security interest in such Pledged Shares in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. The Issuer hereby acknowledges that it has received notice of the security interests of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent in such Pledged Shares and hereby acknowledges and consents to such liens. SECTION 2. REGISTERED OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. The Issuer hereby confirms and agrees that as of the date hereof the Pledgor is the registered owner of __________ shares of the Issuer's [common] stock (the "PLEDGED SHARES") and the Issuer shall not change the registered owner of the Pledged Shares without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agents. SECTION 3. INSTRUCTIONS. If at any time the Issuer shall receive instructions originated by the First Lien Collateral Agent relating to the Pledged Shares, the Issuer shall comply with such EXHIBIT B-1 instructions without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person. If at any time the Issuer shall receive instructions originated by the Second Lien Collateral Agent relating to the Pledged Shares, the Issuer shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the Pledgor or any other person; provided that, prior to receipt by the Issuer of a Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto ("NOTICE OF TERMINATION OF FIRST LIEN OBLIGATIONS"), in the event the Issuer receives conflicting instructions from the Collateral Agents, the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby instructs the Issuer to comply with the instructions of the First Lien Collateral Agent. The Issuer may comply with instructions from the Pledgor until such time as either of the Collateral Agents may instruct the Issuer otherwise. If the Pledgor is otherwise entitled to issue instructions and such instructions conflict with any instructions issued by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent (either with the consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent or following the receipt by Issuer or a Notice of Termination of First Lien Obligations), if applicable, the Issuer shall follow the instructions issued by the applicable Collateral Agent. SECTION 4. ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE ISSUER.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Secured Property and all parts, rights, members, and appurtenances thereof, in fee simple, unto Mortgagee and its successors and assigns forever. THIS INSTRUMENT is given to secure the following obligations (collectively, the "Secured Indebtedness") in such order of priority as may be determined pursuant to the Credit Agreement: (i) all obligations and liabilities of every nature of Mortgagor now or hereafter existing under or arising out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents; (ii) all obligations and liabilities of every nature of the Guarantors now or hereafter existing under or arising out of or in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents to which it may become a party; (iii) any and all future advances made pursuant to the Credit Agreement by the Lenders to or for the benefit of Mortgagor or any Guarantor, direct or indirect, together with interest, fees, costs, and other amounts hereafter arising; (iv) the full and prompt payment and performance of any and all other "Obligations" (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and covenants of Mortgagor and Guarantors to Mortgagee and the Lenders under the terms of any other agreements, assignments or other instruments now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the indebtedness evidenced by the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, any assignment of rents and leases given by Mortgagor or any Guarantor to Mortgagee; EXHIBIT J-3 EXHIBITS TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION (v) any and all additional advances made by the Lenders to protect or preserve the Secured Property or the lien hereof on the Secured Property, or to pay taxes, to pay premiums on insurance on the Secured Property or to repair or maintain the Secured Property, or to complete improvements on the Secured Property (whether or not the original Mortgagor remains the owner of the Secured Property at the time of such advances and whether or not the original Lenders remain the owner of the Secured Indebtedness and this Instrument); and (vi) any and all expenses incident to the collection of the Secured Indebtedness and the foreclosure hereof by action in any court or by exercise of the power of sale herein contained, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of collection actually incurred. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to provide Mortgagor with a revolving credit facility which permits Mortgagor to borrow certain principal amounts, repay all or a portion of such principal amounts, and reborrow the amounts previously paid to the Lenders, all upon satisfaction of certain conditions stated in the Credit Agreement. The amount of such revolving credit facility may increase or decrease from time to time as the Lenders advance, Mortgagor repays, and the Lenders re-advance sums on account of the revolving credit, all as more fully described in the Credit Agreement. The term "Secured Indebtedness" includes without limitation all advances and re-advances under the revolving credit feature of the Credit Agreement. [THIS INSTRUMENT SHALL CONTINUE TO SECURE THE ENTIRE SECURED INDEBTEDNESS UP TO A MAXIMUM PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS ($50,000,000) UNTIL THE ENTIRE SECURED INDEBTEDNESS IS PAID IN FULL.] THIS INSTRUMENT is given for the purpose of creating a lien on real property in order to secure future advances under the Credit Agreement, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of the Lenders, or otherwise, and whether made before or after default or maturity or other similar events, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the execution hereof, even if no advance was made at the time of such execution. The lien of this Instrument, as to third persons, with or without actual knowledge hereof, shall be valid as to all such indebtedness and such future advances, from the date of recordation of this Instrument, shall have priority. THIS INSTRUMENT shall be voided only upon (i) the complete repayment and satisfaction of all Secured Indebtedness and (ii) the termination of the Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof or the written agreement of the Lenders and Mortgagor. All the personal property which comprises a part of the Secured Property shall, as far as permitted by law, be deemed to be affixed to the aforesaid Land and conveyed therewith. To the extent any portion of the Secured Property is not or may not be deemed to be affixed to the Land, this Instrument shall be considered to be a security agreement which creates a security interest in such items for the benefit of the Mortgagee. In that regard, to secure the Secured Indebtedness the Mortgagor grants to the Mortgagee such a security interest with all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State in which the Land is located ("Uniform Commercial Code"). Mortgagor further covenants and agrees with Mortgagee as follows: ARTICLE 1 Covenants of Mortgagor Section 1.1 Title to the Secured Property. Mortgagor warrants that: (i) it has title to the Secured Property in fee simple subject only to such encumbrances approved and permitted by Mortgagee in Schedule B, Section 2 of the Commitment for Title Insurance issued by Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company with EXHIBIT J-4 EXHIBITS TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION respect to the Secured Property (the "Permitted Encumbrances"); (ii) it has full power and lawful authority to encumber the Secured Property in the manner and form herein set forth; (iii) it owns or will own all Improvements; (iv) this Instrument creates a valid and enforceable security title, security interest, and lien on the Secured Property; and (v) it will preserve such title, and will forever warrant and defend the same to Mortgagee and will forever warrant and defend the validity and priority of the lien hereof against the claims of all persons and parties whomsoever. Section 1.2 Maintenance of the Secured Property. Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall maintain the Secured Property in good repair (normal wear and tear excepted) and shall comply with the requirements of any governmental authority claiming jurisdiction over the Secured Property. Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, threaten, commit, permit, or suffer to occur any waste, material alteration, demolition, or removal of the Secured Property or any part thereof, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement. Section 1.3 Insurance; Restoration. Mortgagor shall maintain insurance with respect to the Secured Property in accordance with the requirements set forth in the Credit Agreement, with Mortgagee named as loss payee and additional insured. All proceeds of insurance policies maintained hereunder shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Section 1.4 Taxes and Other Charges. Except as otherwise provided by the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, Mortgagor's right to contest charges, taxes and claims contained in Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall pay and discharge prior to the delinquency date thereof all taxes of every kind and nature, all water charges, sewer rents and assessments, levies, permits, inspection and license fees, and all other charges imposed upon or assessed against the Secured Property or any part thereof or upon the revenues, rents, issues, income, and profits of the Secured Property and, unless Mortgagor is making monthly deposits with Mortgagee in accordance with Section 1.11 hereof, Mortgagor shall exhibit to Mortgagee validated receipts (or other commercially reasonable evidence of payment) showing the payment of such taxes, assessments, water charges, sewer rents, levies, fees, and other charges which may be or become a lien on the Secured Property within ten (10) days after Mortgagee's request therefor. Should Mortgagor default in the payment of any of the foregoing taxes, assessments, water charges, sewer rents, or other charges, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, pay the same or any part thereof, and amounts so paid shall be secured by this Instrument, and Mortgagor shall, on demand, reimburse Mortgagee for all amounts so paid. Section 1.5 Mechanics' and Other Liens. Except as otherwise provided by the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall pay, from time to time when the same shall become due, all lawful claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers, and others which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a lien or claim of lien on the Secured Property or any part thereof and, in general, Mortgagor shall do, or cause to be done, at the cost of Mortgagor and without expense to Mortgagee, everything necessary to fully preserve the lien of this Instrument. In the event Mortgagor fails to make payment of such claims and demands, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, make payment thereof, and all sums so expended shall be secured by this Instrument, and Mortgagor shall, on demand, reimburse Mortgagee for all sums so expended. Section 1.6 Condemnation Awards. Mortgagor, immediately upon written notice of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Secured Property or any portion thereof, will notify Mortgagee of the pendency of such proceedings. Mortgagee may participate in any such proceedings and Mortgagor from time to time will deliver to Mortgagee all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. All awards and compensation for condemnation or other taking or purchase in lieu thereof, of the Secured Property or any part thereof, are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to collect and receive such awards and compensation; and, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor. All such awards and compensation shall be applied in the same manner as provided in the Credit Agreement relating to insurance proceeds. Mortgagor, upon request by Mortgagee, shall make, execute, and deliver any and all instruments requested for the purpose of confirming the assignment of the EXHIBIT J-5 EXHIBITS TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION aforesaid awards and compensation to Mortgagee free and clear of any liens, charges, or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever. Section 1.7 Costs of Defending and Upholding the Lien. If any action or proceeding is commenced to which action or proceeding Mortgagee is made a party or in which it becomes necessary for Mortgagee to defend or uphold the lien of this Instrument, Mortgagor shall, on demand, reimburse Mortgagee for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and appellate attorneys' fees) actually incurred by Mortgagee in any such action or proceeding and all such expenses shall be secured by this Instrument. In any action or proceeding to foreclose this Instrument or to recover or collect the Secured Indebtedness, the provisions of law relating to the recovering of costs, disbursements and allowances shall prevail unaffected by this covenant, provided that any such recovery shall not exceed Mortgagee's reasonable, actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses. Section 1.8 Additional Advances and Disbursements. Mortgagor shall pay when due all payments and charges on all mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, security agreements, liens, encumbrances, ground and other leases, and security interests which may be or become superior or inferior to the lien of this Instrument, and in default thereof, Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay, without notice to Mortgagor, such payments and charges, and Mortgagor shall, on demand, reimburse Mortgagee for amounts so paid. In addition, upon default of Mortgagor in the performance of any other terms, covenants, conditions, or obligations by it to be performed under any such prior or subordinate lien, encumbrance, lease, or security interest, Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to cure such default in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Mortgagee pursuant to this Section 1.8 or as otherwise provided under the terms and provisions of this Instrument or under applicable law shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the "Default Rate" as provided in the Credit Agreement (herein called the "Default Rate"). Section 1.9 Costs of Enforcement. Mortgagor agrees to bear and pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs of collection) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of any provision hereof, or the enforcement, compromise, or settlement of this Instrument or the Secured Indebtedness, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Mortgagee in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. All rights and remedies of Mortgagee shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Mortgagor: (a) will not (i) at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any stay or extension or moratorium law, any exemption from execution or sale of the Secured Property or any part thereof, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of performance of this Instrument, nor (ii) claim, take, or insist upon any benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Secured Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales thereof which may be made pursuant to any provision herein, or pursuant to the decree, judgment, or order of any court of competent jurisdiction, nor (iii) after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof; (b) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws; and (c) covenants not to hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted. Mortgagor, for itself and all who may claim under it, waives, to the extent that it lawfully may, all right to have the Secured Property marshaled upon any foreclosure hereof. Section 1.10 Intangible and Other Taxes. Mortgagor shall pay any and all taxes, charges, filing, registration and recording fees, excises, and levies imposed upon Mortgagee by reason of its ownership of this Instrument and the other Credit Documents, or by reason of the recording or filing thereof, or any security instrument supplemental hereto, any security instrument or Uniform Commercial Code financing statement with respect to any fixtures or personal property owned by Mortgagor at the Secured Property and any instrument of EXHIBIT J-6 EXHIBITS TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION further assurance (other than income, franchise and doing business taxes), and shall pay all stamp or intangible taxes and other taxes required to be paid on any of the Credit Documents. In the event Mortgagor fails to make such payment after demand by Mortgagee then Mortgagee shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to pay the amount due, and Mortgagor shall, on demand, reimburse Mortgagee for said amount, and until so paid said amount shall become part of the Secured Indebtedness. The provisions of this Section shall survive the repayment of the Secured Indebtedness. Section 1.11 Escrow Deposits. At Mortgagee's request at any time after an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) has occurred, Mortgagor shall deposit with Mortgagee, monthly, one twelfth (1/12th) of the insurance premiums and real estate taxes, assessments, water, sewer, and other charges which might become a lien upon the Secured Property. In addition, if required by Mortgagee at any time after an Event of Default has occurred, Mortgagor shall simultaneously therewith deposit with Mortgagee a sum of money which together with the monthly installments aforementioned will be sufficient to make each of the payments aforementioned at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such payments are deemed delinquent. Should said charges not be ascertainable at the time any deposit is required to be made with Mortgagee, the deposit shall be made on the basis of the charges for the prior year, and when the charges are fixed for the then current year, Mortgagor shall deposit any deficiency with Mortgagee. All funds so deposited with Mortgagee shall be held by it without interest, may be commingled by Mortgagee with its general funds and shall be applied in payment of the charges aforementioned when and as payable, to the extent Mortgagee shall have such funds on hand. If deposits are being made with Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall furnish Mortgagee with bills for the charges for which such deposits are required to be made hereunder and/or such other documents necessary for the payment of same, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the charges first become payable. In the event Mortgagor fails to pay any such amount, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, make payment thereof, and Mortgagor shall, on demand, reimburse Mortgagee for all sums so expended, and until Mortgagee has been so reimbursed, such amount shall be added to the Secured Indebtedness. Section 1.12 TRANSFER OF THE SECURED PROPERTY. EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, MORTGAGOR SHALL NOT SELL, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ENCUMBER, CREATE A SECURITY INTEREST IN, OR OTHERWISE HYPOTHECATE, ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE SECURED PROPERTY, OR ANY ASSETS INCLUDED THEREIN, WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF MORTGAGEE. THE CONSENT BY MORTGAGEE TO ANY SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE, CREATION OF A SECURITY INTEREST IN, OR OTHER HYPOTHECATION OF, ANY PORTION OF THE SECURED PROPERTY SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A NOVATION OR A CONSENT TO ANY FURTHER SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE, CREATION OF A SECURITY INTEREST IN OR OTHER HYPOTHECATION, OR TO WAIVE THE RIGHT OF MORTGAGEE, AT ITS OPTION, TO DECLARE THE SECURED INDEBTEDNESS IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE, WITHOUT NOTICE TO MORTGAGOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, UPON ANY SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ENCUMBRANCE, CREATION OF A SECURITY INTEREST OR OTHER HYPOTHECATION TO WHICH MORTGAGEE SHALL NOT HAVE CONSENTED. Section 1.13 Leases, Contracts, Etc. In addition to, and cumulatively with, all assignments, rights, and remedies granted by Mortgagor to Mortgagee in any assignment of leases and rents now or hereafter executed by Mortgagor to Mortgagee in respect of the Secured Property, Mortgagor hereby further agrees as follows: (a) Mortgagor does hereby assign to Mortgagee, the Leases and Revenues (reserving only to Mortgagor the right to collect currently due and payable Revenues so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder), and Mortgagor agrees to execute and deliver to Mortgagee such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, as may hereafter be requested by Mortgagee further to evidence and confirm said assignment; provided, however, that acceptance of any such assignment shall not be construed to impose upon Mortgagee any obligation with respect to any Lease EXHIBIT J-7 EXHIBITS TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION (including, without limitation, any liability under the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in any lease or in any law of any applicable state in the event that any lessee shall have been joined as a party defendant in any action to foreclose this Instrument and shall have been barred and foreclosed thereby of all right, title, and interest and equity of redemption in the Secured Property). Mortgagor shall not cancel or permit the cancellation of any Lease, or materially modify or amend any Lease affecting the Secured Property, or accept, or permit to be made, any prepayment of any installment of rent or fees thereunder (except for security deposits and the usual prepayment of rent which results from the acceptance by a landlord on the first day of each month of the rent for that month). Mortgagor shall faithfully keep and perform, or cause to be kept and performed, all of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in each of said instruments, now or hereafter existing, on the part of Mortgagor to be kept and performed and shall at all times do all things reasonably necessary to compel performance by each other party to said instruments of all obligations, covenants and agreements by such other party to be performed thereunder. (b) Mortgagor shall not execute an assignment of the Leases or Revenues, or any part thereof unless Mortgagee shall first consent to such assignment and unless such assignment shall expressly provide that it is subordinate to the collateral assignment contained in this Instrument and any collateral assignment executed pursuant hereto or concerning the Secured Indebtedness. (c) Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee, within twenty (20) days after a written request by Mortgagee to do so, a sworn statement setting forth the names of all lessees and tenants of the Secured Property, the terms of their respective Leases, the space occupied, and the rentals payable thereunder, and stating to Mortgagor's best knowledge whether any material defaults, off-sets or defenses exist in connection with any of said Leases. Any and all Leases, entered into after the date of this Instrument shall provide for giving by the lessees or tenants thereunder of certificates with respect to the status of such Leases and Mortgagor shall exercise Mortgagor's right to request such certificates promptly upon any demand therefor by Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall provide Mortgagee with a copy of any written notice of default received by it from any tenant under any Lease. (d) Mortgagee shall have the absolute and continuing right, at all times hereafter, to review and approve any and all Leases and any other contracts, licenses or permits which, pursuant to their operation and effect, will (or are reasonably likely to) affect, the Secured Property, or any part thereof, and any and all modifications to existing agreements, licenses, and permits which are proposed to be entered into subsequent to the date of this Instrument prior to their execution and delivery by Mortgagor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in any event, each such Lease, shall contain a provision that the rights of the parties thereunder are expressly subordinate to all of the rights and title of Mortgagee under this Instrument. Section 1.14 Estoppel Certificates. Mortgagor, within twenty (20) days after receipt of written request, shall furnish to Mortgagee a written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth to its knowledge the amount due under this Instrument, the terms of payment and maturity date related to all amounts advanced pursuant to or outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the date to which interest has been paid, whether any offsets or defenses exist against the Secured Indebtedness and, if any are alleged to exist, the nature thereof shall be set forth in detail. Section 1.15 Security Deposits. To the extent required by law or, after an Event of Default has occurred and during its continuance, if required by Mortgagee, all security deposits of tenants of the Secured Property shall be treated as trust funds not to be commingled with any other funds of Mortgagor.

(c) Mortgagee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Instrument by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and, except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Mortgagee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.

Any such sale or sales made under or by virtue of this Article 2, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree EXHIBIT J-10 EXHIBITS TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim, and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Mortgagor. (e) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article 2 (whether made by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale) the entire Secured Indebtedness, if not previously due and payable, immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Credit Agreement, this Instrument, or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable. (f) Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Article 2 (whether made by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), Mortgagee, may bid for and acquire the Secured Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Secured Indebtedness the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Instrument. (g) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Secured Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect in any manner or to any extent, the lien and title of this Instrument upon the Secured Property or any part thereof, or any liens, titles, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such liens, titles, rights, powers and remedies of Mortgagee shall continue unimpaired as before. (h) Mortgagor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, neither Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Instrument, or the absolute sale of the Secured Property, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereat, and Mortgagor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprised in the security intended to be created hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien or title hereof. (i) The failure to make any such tenants of the Secured Property party to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted to be by Mortgagor, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Mortgagee to collect the sums secured hereby. Section 2.3 Possession of the Secured Property. Upon any foreclosure of the Secured Property, it is agreed that the then owner of the Secured Property, if it is the occupant of the Secured Property or any part thereof, shall immediately surrender possession of the Secured Property so occupied to Mortgagee, and if such occupant is permitted to remain in possession, the possession shall be as tenant of Mortgagee and, on demand, such occupant (a) shall pay to Mortgagee monthly, in advance, a reasonable rental for the space so occupied, and (b) in default thereof may be dispossessed by the usual summary proceedings. The covenants herein contained may be enforced by a receiver of the Secured Property or any part thereof. Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to be a waiver of the provisions of this Instrument prohibiting the sale or other disposition of the Secured Property without Mortgagee's consent. Section 2.4 Mortgagor's Actions After Default. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the commencement of a suit or the consent of Mortgagor as a condition precedent for Mortgagee's right to the appointment of a receiver or the exercise of any other rights or remedies available to Mortgagee. EXHIBIT J-11 EXHIBITS TO FIRST LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT EXECUTION Section 2.5 Control by Mortgagee After Default.

The Company agrees that each Second Lien Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Collateral Agent): "Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2004 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT"), among Carmike Cinemas, Inc., Wells Fargo Foothill, Inc., as First Lien Collateral Agent, National City Bank, as Second Lien Collateral Agent and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control." In addition, the Company agrees that each Second Lien Mortgage covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Second Lien Mortgage to the First Lien Collateral Document covering such Collateral. (b) In the event any First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, the First Lien Credit Agreement or any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, such First Lien Claimholders, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder with respect thereto, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Comparable Second Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders and without any action by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Company or any other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets subject to the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 5.1 of this Agreement and provided that there is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the First Lien Obligations, (ii) imposing duties on the Second Lien Collateral Agent without its consent, (iii) permitting other liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second Lien Credit Documents or Section 6 hereof or (iv) increasing the aggregate amount of the First Lien Obligations in excess 14 of the amount permitted by Section 6.1(d) of the Second Lien Credit Agreement and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Second Lien Collateral Agent within five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent. 5.4 Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Company or any Guarantor Subsidiary that has guaranteed the Second Lien Obligation in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Credit Documents and applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest and principal and all other amounts payable so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Section 5.4 impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral. 5.5 Bailee for Perfection. (a) The First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the Uniform Commercial Code (such Collateral being the "PLEDGED COLLATERAL") as collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders and as bailee for the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the First Lien Credit Documents and the Second Lien Credit Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5. (b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents as if no bailee arrangement with the Second Lien Collateral Agent existed. The rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the First Lien Collateral Agent's rights under the First Lien Credit Documents. (c) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.5. 15 (d) The First Lien Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not have by reason of the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder. (e) Upon the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Credit Documents to which the First Lien Collateral Agent is a party, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the extent Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the Company to the extent no First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person in connection with such Person obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 5.6 When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If at any time a Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred as a result of any Refinancing of any First Lien Credit Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation which Refinancing is permitted under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and the obligations under such Refinancing First Lien Credit Document shall automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the First Lien Collateral Agent under such Refinancing First Lien Credit Documents shall be a First Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that the Company has entered into a new First Lien Credit Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new collateral agent, such agent, the "NEW AGENT"), the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to confirm to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral then held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First Lien Credit Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents. 5.7 Purchase Right. Without prejudice to the enforcement of the First Lien Claimholders remedies, the First Lien Claimholders agree at any time following an 16 acceleration of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, the First Lien Claimholders will offer the Second Lien Claimholders the option to purchase the aggregate amount of outstanding First Lien Obligations at par, without warranty or representation or recourse, on a pro rata basis across First Lien Claimholders. The Second Lien Claimholders shall accept or reject such offer within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof and the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter. If the Second Lien Claimholders accept such offer, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent. If the Second Lien Claimholders reject such offer, the First Lien Claimholders shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7 and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First Lien Credit Documents and this Agreement. SECTION 6. INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS. 6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral on which the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other entity under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (each, a "DIP FINANCING"), then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the First Lien Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3) and, to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto). The Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the First Lien Claimholders have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets. 6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent. 6.3 Adequate Protection. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other person contesting) (a) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection or (b) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders 17 claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) in the event the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Second Lien Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Lien Obligations and for any such DIP Financing provided by the First Lien Claimholders and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the First Lien Claimholders (and all Obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the First Lien Claimholders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such First Lien Obligations under this Agreement. 6.4 No Waiver. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a) of this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Credit Documents or otherwise. 6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor any amount (a "RECOVERY"), then such First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. 6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are 18 secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. 6.7 Post-Petition Interest. (a) Neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the First Lien Claimholder's Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral. (b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the First Lien Collateral). 6.8 Waiver. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of the election of any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. SECTION 7. RELIANCE; WAIVERS; ETC. 7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders under its First Lien Credit Documents, acknowledges that it and such First Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such First Lien Credit Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the First Lien Credit Agreement or this Agreement. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledges that it and the Second Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the Second Lien Credit Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will 19 continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Second Lien Credit Documents or this Agreement. 7.2 No Warranties or Liability.

The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Obligations, acknowledges and agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the First Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon.

(a) No right of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First Lien Credit Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any First Lien Claimholder or the First Lien Collateral Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First Lien Credit Documents or any of the Second Lien Credit Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with; (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Company and the other Grantors under the First Lien Credit Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(b)), the First Lien 20 Claimholders, the First Lien Collateral Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the First Lien Credit Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders, without incurring any liabilities to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the First Lien Obligations or any Lien on any First Lien Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of the Company or any other Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the First Lien Obligations, without any restriction as to the amount, tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Obligations or any of the First Lien Credit Documents; (ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the First Lien Collateral or any liability of the Company or any other Grantor to the First Lien Claimholders or the First Lien Collateral Agent, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof; (iii) settle or compromise any First Lien Obligation or any other liability of the Company or any other Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the First Lien Obligations) in any manner or order; and (iv) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against the Company or any security or any other Grantor or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with the Company, any other Grantor or any First Lien Collateral and any security and any guarantor or any liability of the Company or any other Grantor to the First Lien Claimholders or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof.
