The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make a Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed its Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

(b) Each Lender having an Incremental Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees, subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its Incremental Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Loans. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (except, with respect to any Incremental Borrowing, to the extent otherwise provided in the related Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement) or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch

or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than eight Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan or Incremental Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Closing Date or the proposed date of Borrowing thereof, as applicable, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly wire transfer the amounts so received in accordance with instructions received from the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, e-mail or fax to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Borrowing of Loans or a Borrowing of Incremental Loans and whether such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing (provided that, until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the primary syndication of the Commitments has been completed (which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days after the Closing

Date), the Borrower shall not be permitted to request a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period in excess of one month); provided, however, that the initial Interest Period of any Eurodollar Borrowing made on the Closing Date shall commence on the Closing Date and end on March 31, 2013; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the principal amount of each Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

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

(d) The entries made in the Register maintained pursuant to Section 2.04(c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at all times thereafter (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

SECTION 2.05. Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative fees set forth in the Fee Letter at the times and in the amounts specified therein (the “Administrative Agent Fees”). In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay on the Closing Date to each Lender that is party to this Agreement as a Lender on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s Loan, a closing fee (collectively, the “Participation Fees”) in an amount equal to 1.00% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Loan, payable to such Lender from the proceeds of its Loan as and when funded on the Closing Date. Such Participation Fees will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date.

All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to but excluding the date of repayment thereof) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07. Default Interest. If any Event of Default under Sections 7.01(a), 7.01(f) or 7.01(g) has occurred and is continuing then, until such defaulted amount shall have been paid in full, to the extent permitted by law, such defaulted amounts shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum.

SECTION 2.08. Alternate Rate of Interest. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined (a) that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the

London interbank market, (b) that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period or (c) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09. Termination of Commitments. (a) The Commitments (other than any Incremental Loan Commitments, which shall terminate as provided in the related Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement) shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Loans on the Closing Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.

(c) Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments.

SECTION 2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable notice (including by telephone or e-mail, which in the case of telephonic notice, shall be promptly followed by written notice) to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior to conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(ii) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(iii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the limitations

(iv) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(v) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

(vi) any portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(vii) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing;

(viii) no Interest Period may be selected for any Eurodollar Borrowing that would end later than a Repayment Date occurring on or after the first day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of (A) the Eurodollar Borrowings comprised of Loans or Other Loans, as applicable, with Interest Periods ending on or prior to such Repayment Date and (B) the ABR Borrowings comprised of Loans or Other Loans, as applicable, would not be at least equal to the principal amount of Borrowings to be paid on such Repayment Date; and

(ix) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at

the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing.

(f) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated pro rata between the Loans, the Other Loans and the Extended Loans (unless Other Loans or Extended Loans agreed to receive less than their pro rata share) and applied first, to the next four succeeding scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Loans, Other Loans and Extended Loans under Sections 2.11(a)(i) and (ii), respectively, second, pro rata against the remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of the Loans, Other Loans and the Extended Loans under Sections 2.11(a)(i) and (ii), respectively (excluding the final payments on the Maturity Date of the Loans (or the maturity date in respect of such Other Loans or Extended Loans) under Sections 2.11(a)(i) and (ii), respectively and third, to the final payment on the Maturity Date of the Loans (or the final payment on the maturity date of such Other Loans or Extended Loans).

(g) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13, (i) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable (except in respect of prepayments required under Section 2.13(d)), at least three Business Days prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.14. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity requirement, Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.20 and Excluded Taxes) or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth (i) the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, and (ii) the calculations supporting such amount or amounts, as specified in Sections 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the

Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under Sections 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or would reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.15. Change in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in Section 2.15(b).

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clauses (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.16. Breakage. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of

any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. Each Lender shall provide a certificate setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 to the Borrower within 180 days after the Breakage Event and such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Section 2.15 or otherwise stated herein, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18. Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the

express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Affiliates of the Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall apply). The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19. Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices described on Schedule 9.01(b) (or as otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the Borrower from time to time). Any payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, may, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. Subject to Article VIII, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

SECTION 2.20. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or other Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions, (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative Agent and each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions as required by law and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower and any other Loan Party, as the case may be, shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or otherwise with respect to any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes

imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Not later than 30 days after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date it becomes a Lender hereunder and thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any previously delivered documentation or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, two original, properly completed IRS Forms W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an applicable tax treaty), W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY (together with any required attachments) or, if the Foreign Lender is relying on the so-called “portfolio interest exemption,” two properly completed IRS Forms W-8BEN and two executed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit O hereto stating that the Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a “10-percent shareholder” within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code or (iii) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Loan Party within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code, in the case of any of the foregoing certifying that the Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption or reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax on payments hereunder. Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the date it becomes a Lender hereunder and thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any previously delivered documentation or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, two original, properly completed IRS Forms W-9 or shall otherwise establish an exemption from U.S. backup withholding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2.20(e) shall not require any Lender to provide any forms or documentation that it is not legally entitled to provide.

(f) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its withholding obligations, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s

obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.21. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20 or (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14 and 2.16 and, in the case of any such assignment occurring in connection with a Repricing Event occurring prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the prepayment fee pursuant to Section 2.12(c) (with such assignment being deemed to be a voluntary prepayment for purposes of determining the applicability of Section 2.12(c), such amount to be payable by the Borrower)); provided, further, that if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.21(b)), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of

such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a).

(b) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

SECTION 2.22. Incremental Loans. (a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Loan Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Loan Amount from one or more Incremental Lenders, all of which must be Eligible Assignees. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining Incremental Loan Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice), and (iii) whether such Incremental Loan Commitments are commitments to make additional Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Loans (“Other Loans”).

(b) The Borrower may seek Incremental Loan Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Incremental Lenders in connection therewith; provided that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to the extent the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, would be required if such institution were receiving an assignment of Loans pursuant to Section 9.04 (provided, further, that the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required with respect to an additional bank, financial institution, or other institutional lender that is an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund). The Borrower and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Loan Commitment of each Incremental Lender. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Loans shall be identical to those of the Loans except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Loans shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date, (ii) the average life to maturity of the Other Loans shall be no shorter than the

remaining average life to maturity of the Loans, (iii) if the initial yield on such Other Loans (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Other Loans (taking into account any interest rate floors with respect to such Other Loans) and (y) if such Other Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Other Loans and (B) four) exceeds the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Loans by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Loans and (iv) the other terms and documentation in respect of such Other Loans, to the extent not consistent with the Term Facility, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.08 to the contrary, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Loan Commitment and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments. Incremental Loans and Other Loans shall have the same guarantees as, and be secured on a pari passu basis with, the Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.22 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, (x) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III and in each other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects to the extent qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) on and as of such date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects to the extent qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect) on and as of such earlier date and (y) at the time of and immediately after the giving effect to the Borrowing of Incremental Loans, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, (ii) the Borrower’s Total Secured Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 2.50:1.00 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Incremental Loan Commitment, the incurrence of the Incremental Loans thereunder the use of proceeds thereof and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect showing such calculations in reasonable detail dated such date and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, (iii) all fees and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of such increase shall have been paid, (iv) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 and (v) to the extent reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of the Mortgages on the Real Estate Collateral Properties as security for the Obligations, as determined by the

Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, (x) the applicable Loan Party to any Mortgages shall have entered into, and delivered to the Administrative Agent, at the direction and in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent a mortgage modification or new Mortgage in proper form for recording in the relevant jurisdiction and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (y) the Borrower shall have caused to be delivered to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an endorsement to the title insurance policy, date down(s) or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent insuring that the priority of the Lien of such Mortgages as security for the Obligations has not changed and confirming and/or insuring that since the issuance of the title insurance policy there has been no change in the condition of title and there are no intervening liens or encumbrances that may then or thereafter take priority over the Lien of such Mortgages (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and (z) the Borrower shall have delivered, at the request of the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent and/or all other relevant third parties all other items reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of such Mortgages as security for the Obligations.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower, take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Loans (other than Other Loans), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Loan, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Loan to each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.16. If any Incremental Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Loan Assumption Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Loans are not Other Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.11(a)(i) required to be made after the making of such Incremental Loans shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Loans and shall be further increased for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the Lenders were entitled before such recalculation.

SECTION 2.23. Extension Amendments. (a) So long as no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing (after giving effect to any amendments and/or waivers that are or become effective on the date of the relevant conversion), the Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of any Class of Loans then outstanding selected by the Borrower (such series, the “Original Loans”) be converted to extend the maturity date thereof and to provide for other terms permitted by this Section 2.23 (any portion thereof that have been so extended, the “Extended Loans” and the remainder not so extended, the “Non-Extended Loans”). Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Original Loans, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each Lender who has Original Loans) in such form as approved from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth the terms of the proposed Extended Loans, as applicable, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Original Loans, except for Section 2.23 Additional Agreements or as otherwise permitted by this Section 2.23 and except (w) the maturity date of

Extended Loans may be delayed to a date after the Fixed Maturity Date, (x) Extended Loans may have different amortization payments than the Original Loans; provided that the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Extended Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Original Loans from which they were converted and (y) the initial yield (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) of the Extended Loans may be higher or lower than the initial yield (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) of the Original Loans; provided, however, that if the initial yield on such Extended Loans (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Adjusted LIBO Rate on such Extended Loans (taking into account any interest rate floors with respect to such Extended Loans) and (y) if the Extending Lenders agreeing to extend their Loans receive a fee directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such fee, expressed as a percentage of the Extended Loans, being referred to herein as the “Extension Fee”), the amount of such Extension Fee divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Extended Loans and (B) four) exceeds the Applicable Margin for the Original Loans by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Extended Loan Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then for such Loans shall automatically be increased by the Extended Loan Yield Differential, effective upon the extension of the Extended Loans. In addition to any other terms and changes required or permitted by this Section 2.23, each Extension Amendment establishing a Class of Extended Loans shall amend the scheduled amortization payments provided under Section 2.11 with respect to the related Non-Extended Loans to reduce each scheduled installment for such Non-Extended Loans to an aggregate amount equal to the product of (1) the original aggregate amount of such installment with respect to the Original Loans, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of such related Non-Extended Loans and (y) the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of such Original Loans prior to the effectiveness of such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any installment payable with respect to any individual Non-Extended Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof without the consent of the holder of such individual Non-Extended Loan). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Original Loans converted into Extended Loans pursuant to any Extension Request.

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least seven Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Lenders are requested to respond (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree). Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Original Loans converted into Extended Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (such notice to be in such form as approved from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request (which shall in any event be no less than three Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Extension Amendment) of the amount of its Original Loans that it has elected to convert into Extended Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of the applicable Original Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of the applicable Extended Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the applicable Original Loans subject to such Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the applicable Original Loans included in each such Extension Election.

(c) Subject to the requirements of this Section 2.23, so long as no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing (after giving effect to any amendments and/or waivers that are or become effective on the date that such Extended Loans are established), Extended Loans may be established pursuant to a supplement (which shall set forth the effective date of such extension) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent otherwise expressly contemplated by this Section 2.23(c), shall require the consent only of the Lenders who elect to make the Extended Loans established thereby) in such form as approved from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the reasonable exercise of its discretion (each, an “Extension Amendment”) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. Any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms (other than those referred to or contemplated in this Section 2.23 or in the form of the Extension Request or Extension Amendment (each, a “Section 2.23 Additional Agreement”)) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that no such Section 2.23 Additional Agreement shall become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.23 Additional Agreement has been consented to by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as would be required (including, without limitation, under the requirements of Section 9.08) if such Section 2.23 Additional Agreement were a separate and independent amendment of this Agreement. In connection with any Extension Amendment, (i) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to any matters reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and (ii) to the extent reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of the Mortgages on the Real Estate Collateral Properties as security for the Obligations, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, (x) the applicable Loan Party to any Mortgages shall have entered into, and delivered to the Administrative Agent, at the direction and in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent a mortgage modification or new Mortgage in proper form for recording in the relevant jurisdiction and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (y) the Borrower shall have caused to be delivered to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an endorsement to the title insurance policy, date down(s) or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent insuring that the priority of the Lien of such Mortgages as security for the Obligations has not changed and confirming and/or insuring that since the issuance of the title insurance policy there has been no change in the condition of title and there are no intervening liens or encumbrances that may then or thereafter take priority over the Lien of such Mortgages (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and (z) the Borrower shall have delivered, at the request of the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent and/or all other relevant third parties all other items reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Lien of such Mortgages as security for the Obligations.

(d) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into technical amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the applicable Loan Parties as may be necessary or advisable in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.23.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

Schedule 3.01 annexed hereto sets forth, as of the Closing Date, each Loan Party’s name as it appears in official filings, state of incorporation or organization, organization type, organization number, if any, issued by its state of incorporation or organization, and its federal employer identification number.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; No Contravention.

(a) The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is a party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (i) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organization Documents; (ii) conflict with or result in any breach, termination, or contravention of, or constitute a default under or require any payment to be made under (x) any Material Contract or any Material Indebtedness to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject, in each case under this clause (ii), which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) result in or require the creation of any Lien upon any asset of any Loan Party or any guarantee by any Loan Party (other than Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent under the Security Documents and guarantees in favor of the Administrative Agent); (iv) violate any applicable Law where such violation has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (v) result in any “change of control” offer or similar offer being required to be made under any Material Indebtedness to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries; or (vi) result in the application of any of the consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease of assets (however so denominated) provisions of any Material Indebtedness to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of the representations set forth in this Section 3.02(a) that are made on the Closing Date, (i) the terms “Material Contract” and “Material Indebtedness” shall

(b) The consummation of the Transactions does not and will not (i) contravene the terms of the Organization Documents of the Borrower, NAI or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (ii) conflict with or result in any breach, termination, or contravention of, or constitute a default under or require any payment to be made under (x) any Material Contract or any Material Indebtedness to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject, in each case under this clause (ii), which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) result in or require the creation of any Lien upon any asset of the Borrower, NAI or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any guarantee by any such Person (other than Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent under the Security Documents and guarantees in favor of the Administrative Agent); (iv) violate any applicable Law where such violation has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; (v) result in any “change of control” offer or similar offer being required to be made under any Material Indebtedness to which the Borrower, NAI or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or affecting any such Person or the properties of any such Person or any of its Subsidiaries; or (vi) result in the application of any of the consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease of assets (however so denominated) provisions of any Material Indebtedness to which the Borrower, NAI or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or affecting any such Person or the properties of any such Person or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of the representations set forth in this Section 3.02(b) that are made on the Closing Date, (i) the terms “Material Contract” and “Material Indebtedness” shall be deemed to include Material Contracts and Material Indebtedness (including the NAI Notes, the NAI Indenture, the ASC Notes and the ASC Indenture) of NAI and its subsidiaries as if NAI and its subsidiaries were Subsidiaries of the Borrower, and (ii) the dollar amount set forth in the definition of the term “Material Indebtedness” shall be deemed to be $75,000,000.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Authorization; Other Consents. No approval, consent (including, the consent of equity holders or creditors of any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary), exemption, authorization, license or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body or any other Person is necessary or required for the grant of the security interest by such Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary of the Collateral pledged by it pursuant to the Security Documents or for the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for (a) the perfection or maintenance of the Liens created under the Security Documents (including the first priority (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) nature thereof), (b) such consents which have been obtained or made prior to the date hereof and are in full force and effect and (c) such consents which are required for the exercise of remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, if any, under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 3.04. Binding Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document, when delivered, will have been, duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against each Loan Party that is party thereto in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.05. Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect.

(a) The Audited Financial Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and (ii) fairly present the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (prior to giving effect to the Transactions) as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein.

(b) The unaudited Consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (prior to giving effect to the Transactions) dated December 1, 2012, and the related Consolidated statements of income or operations and cash flows for the Fiscal Quarter ended on such date (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and (ii) fairly present the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (prior to giving effect to the Transactions) as of the date thereof and their results of operations for the period covered thereby, subject, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments.

(c) Since February 25, 2012, as of the Closing Date, there has not occurred any Closing Date Material Adverse Effect or any event, condition, change or effect that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Closing Date Material Adverse Effect. Since the end of the most recent period for which financial statements were required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), as applicable, as of each date of the making of representations and warranties under this Article III (other than the Closing Date), there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no Internal Control Event exists or has occurred since the date of the Audited Financial Statements that has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in a misstatement in any material respect, in any financial information delivered or to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, of (i) the covenant compliance calculations provided hereunder or (ii) the assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis.

(e) The Consolidated forecasted balance sheet and statements of income and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) were prepared in good faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were fair in light of the conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts (it being understood that projections

by their nature are inherently uncertain and that, even though such forecasts are prepared in good faith on the basis of assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time such forecasts were prepared, the results reflected in such forecasts may not be achieved and actual results may differ and such differences may be material).

(f) The deal basis financial statements described in Section 4.01(n) (the “Deal Basis Financial Statements”) have been prepared to reflect the historical financial information of the remaining operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries following the Transactions and exclude the financial information of NAI’s business operations expected to be sold to the Buyer, other than the assets and liabilities of NAI and its subsidiaries that are expected to be retained by the Borrower pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement. The Deal Basis Financial Statements reflect periods during which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries operated as a consolidated entity inclusive of the operations of NAI and its subsidiaries, and accordingly, the presentation to exclude such operations has relied on assumptions and allocations to separate the operations of NAI and its subsidiaries, and are not necessarily indicative of the future operations or financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries following the Transactions. The Borrower believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the Deal Basis Financial Statements are reasonable and appropriate, but such assumptions and allocations are preliminary and based on estimates and are subject to change.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties after due and diligent investigation, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its properties, rights or revenues that (a) purport to materially and adversely affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 3.06, either individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since the Closing Date, there has been no material adverse change in the status, or financial effect on any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary, of the matters described on Schedule 3.06.

SECTION 3.07. No Default. No Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary is in default under or with respect to any Material Indebtedness. No Event of Default (other than an Event of Default arising from the inaccuracy of the representation set forth in the second sentence of Section 3.15(a)) has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any corporate restriction that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.08. Ownership of Properties; Liens.

(a) Each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary has good and marketable title in fee simple to or valid leasehold interests in, all Real Estate necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business and each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary has good title to, valid leasehold interests in, or valid licenses or service agreements for all personal property material to the ordinary conduct of its business, except, in each case, as does not have and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The property of each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary is subject to no Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances.

(b) Schedule 3.08(b) sets forth the street address, county and state of each site of land that is fee-owned by any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary as of the Closing Date.

No Lien imposed under the Code or ERISA exists or is likely to arise on account of any Plan.

(b) There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

actuarial methods and assumptions employed for such valuation (determined in accordance with the assumptions used for funding such Pension Plan pursuant to Sections 412 or 430 of the Code or Sections 302 or 303 of ERISA), as of the date hereof the aggregate current value of accumulated “benefit liabilities” of such Pension Plan under Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA is in excess of the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan, but the scheduled payments with respect to such underfunding do not have, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect and the Loan Parties have complied, and shall continue to comply, with the requirements of ERISA and the PBGC Agreement with respect to the funding of each of their Pension Plans; (iii) neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA and amounts payable under the PBGC Agreement) that, individually or in the aggregate, has or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan, that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (v) neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that would be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13, there are no outstanding rights to purchase any Equity Interests in any Restricted Subsidiary. All of the outstanding Equity Interests in the Loan Parties have been validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable and, with respect to the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower and Excluded Subsidiaries), are owned in the amounts specified on Part (c) of Schedule 3.13 free and clear of all Liens.

None of the proceeds of the Loans shall be used directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin stock or for any other purpose that might cause any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X.

No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Loan Parties represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (based upon accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements of the Borrower) and using due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial statement or certificate.

(b) No material written report, financial statement, certificate or other information (other than projections and other than information that is accurately disclosed by the Borrower and is covered by one of the other representations set forth in this Article III or in the other Loan Documents) furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) that is customarily used by financing sources in making credit or underwriting decisions in transactions of this type and that is relevant to the Term Facility contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent; Etc.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and

125

neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including releases and the Security Documents) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and (ii) negotiate, enforce or the settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders, which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender.

(b) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof (subject to securities law and other requirements of applicable law) as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(c) Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that neither Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Article VII or Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own

126

gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final non-appealable judgment. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. Neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

(d) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(e) Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Term Facility as well as activities as Agent. Neither Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

(f) Either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (prior to the occurrence of a Specified Event of Default), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 60 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a

127

successor Agent which shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 60th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation shall become effective (and such Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder) and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, with the consent of the Borrower (prior to the occurrence of a Specified Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

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

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limitation of the foregoing, neither the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agents nor the Documentation Agents in their respective capacities as such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, Loan Party or any other Person.

(i) In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall have made any

128

demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Agents under Section 9.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same and, in either case, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each other Secured Party to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event that such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to such Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due such Agent under Section 9.05.

(j) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the IRS or any other Governmental Authority, or the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

(f) The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (i) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC” and the Borrower agrees that the following documents may be distributed to all Lenders (including Public Lenders) unless, solely with respect to the

131

documents described in clauses (B) and (C) below, the Borrower advises the Administrative Agent in writing (including by e-mail) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such material should only be distributed to Lenders other than Public Lenders (it being agreed that the Borrower and its counsel shall have been given a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comply with applicable securities law disclosure obligations): (A) the Loan Documents; (B) administrative materials prepared by the Administrative Agent for prospective Lenders; (C) term sheets and notification of changes in the terms of the Term Facility; and (D) the Audited Financial Statements, the Deal Basis Financial Statements and the financial statements and certificates furnished pursuant to Sections 5.01(a) and 5.01(b).

(g) Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(h) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

(i) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan

132

Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

SECTION 9.02. Survival of Agreement. Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.

SECTION 9.03. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received executed counterparts hereof from each of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Person who is a Lender on the Closing Date.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that (i) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to any assignment made (x) to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund, (y) in connection with the initial syndication of the Term Facility to Persons identified by the Joint Lead Arrangers to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date or (z) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Specified Event of Default (provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), (ii) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required to any assignment (x) made by an

133

assigning Lender to a Related Fund of such Lender or (y) of an amount less than $1,000,000 by an assigning Lender to a Related Fund of such Lender, (iii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in an integral multiple of, and not less than, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans of the relevant Class); provided that simultaneous assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments to or from two or more Related Funds by a single Lender and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable tax forms. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 9.04(e), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20 and 9.05, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any

134

Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b), if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 9.04(e).

(f) Each Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) no Lender shall, without the written consent of the Borrower, sell participations in Loans or Commitments

135

to any Competitor of the Borrower, (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iv) the participating banks or other Persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant unless a greater payment results from a Change in Law occurring after such particular participant acquired the applicable participation or the sale of such participation was approved in writing by the Borrower), (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or Person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or Person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or Person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or Person has an interest or releasing all or substantially all of the value of the Facility Guaranty or all or substantially all of the Collateral) and (v) such Lender shall maintain a register on which it records the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of each participant’s participating interest with respect to the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder, which entries shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, further, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose any portion of such register to any Person except to the extent disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder are in registered form for United States federal income tax purposes. To the extent permitted by law, each participating bank or other Person also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such participating bank or other Person agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.

(h) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

136

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.

(j) Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Loans owing to it to the Borrower on a non-pro rata basis (provided, however, that each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan), subject to the following limitations:

(i) The Borrower shall conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Loans, provided that, (A) notice of the Auction shall be made to all Lenders and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with this

137

Section 9.04(k) and the Auction Procedures set forth on Exhibit Q and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to Borrower, the Auction Manager and Administrative Agent;

(ii) With respect to all repurchases made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.04(k), (A) the Borrower shall deliver to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such repurchase, (B) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any loans under the ABL Facility to acquire such Loans, (C) Loans so purchased shall not constitute a prepayment of Loans hereunder for the purposes of calculating Excess Cash Flow, (D) the assigning Lender and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent a Borrower Assignment and Acceptance and (E) no representation or warranty regarding the possession of any information that has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent or non-Public Lenders and that may be material to a Lender’s decision to participate in such repurchase shall be required;

(iii) Following repurchase by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.04(k), the Loans so repurchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In connection with any Loans repurchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 9.04(k), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation; and

(l) Each Lender acknowledges that (i) the Borrower currently may have information regarding the Loan Parties, their ability to perform their Obligations or any other matter that may be material to a decision by any Lender to participate in any repurchase contemplated by Section 9.04(k) and that has not previously been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (“Excluded Information”), (ii) the Excluded Information may not be available to it, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders and (iii) it has independently and without reliance on any other party made its own analysis and determined to participate in any repurchase contemplated by Section 9.04(k) thereby notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information.

SECTION 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agents and the Documentation Agents in connection with the syndication of the Term Facility and, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the

Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for such Persons taken as a whole (and, to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, and one special or regulatory counsel in each relevant specialty), and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest or a potential conflict of interest, one additional primary counsel (and, to the extent deemed reasonably necessary or advisable by the affected persons in their good faith discretion, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and one special or regulatory counsel in each relevant specialty) to the affected persons, taken as a whole.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the Term Facility and the syndication thereof), (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or equity holders) or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available (A) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted primarily from (1) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (2) disputes solely among Indemnitees (or their Related Persons) (other than claims against any Indemnitee (x) in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as agent or arranger or any similar role under the Term Facility or (y) arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) or (B) in respect of legal fees or expenses of the Indemnitees, other than the reasonable invoiced fees, expenses and charges of one primary counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole (and, to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction and one special or regulatory counsel in each relevant specialty), and solely in the case of a conflict of interest or a potential conflict of interest, one additional primary counsel (and, to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion, one local counsel in each relevant

139

jurisdiction and one special or regulatory counsel in each relevant specialty) to the affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under Sections 9.05(a) or 9.05(b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, and no Indemnitee shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Loan Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing contained in this sentence will limit the indemnity obligations of any Loan Party to the extent indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) No Indemnitee seeking indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement will, without the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), settle, compromise, consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any claim, litigation, action, investigation or proceeding referred to herein; provided that the foregoing indemnity will apply to any such settlement in the event that (i) the Borrower was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to so assume or (ii) such settlement is entered into more than seventy-five (75) days after receipt by the Borrower of a request by the applicable Indemnitee for reimbursement of its legal or other expenses incurred in connection with such claim, litigation, action, investigation or proceeding and the Borrower not having reimbursed such Indemnitee in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement (provided that the foregoing indemnity will not apply to any settlement made in accordance with this clause (ii) if the Borrower is disputing such expenses in good faith in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 9.05), and the foregoing indemnity will also apply to any settlement with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff against an Indemnitee in any such proceeding.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee (and its Related Persons) shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid by the Loan Parties under Section 9.05(b) to such Indemnitee (or such Related Person) for any such fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Indemnitee (or such Related Person) is not entitled

140

to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.06. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

SECTION 9.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.08(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the

141

Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any Fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the provisions of Section 9.04(k) or the provisions of this Section 9.08 or release all or substantially all of the value of the Facility Guaranty or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) change the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class, (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPV, (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the date hereof) or (vii) modify any other provision, if any, of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent of each Lender or each directly affected Lender without the prior written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

(c) The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Loan Document.

SECTION 9.09. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

142

SECTION 9.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Fee Letter and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

SECTION 9.12. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tif”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.15. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or

143

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction if required to realize upon the Collateral as determined in good faith by the Person bringing such action or proceeding.

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

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

SECTION 9.16. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, numbering, administration and settlement service providers and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested or required by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as or no less restrictive than those of this Section 9.16, to any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (f) with the consent of the Borrower, (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16, (h) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as or no less restrictive than those of this Section 9.16, to actual or proposed direct or indirect counterparties in connection with any Swap Contract relating to the Loan Parties or their obligations or (i) 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 Loan Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender. In addition, each Agent and each

144

Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. For the purposes of this Section 9.16, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.17. Lender Action; Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 9.17 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

(b) Each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement (and including any and all amendments, amendments and restatements, modifications, supplements and acknowledgments thereto) from time to time, and agree to be bound by the provisions thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender and the Agents acknowledge that the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent thereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of a conflict or any inconsistency between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall prevail.

SECTION 9.18. USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and the Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the Guarantors, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and the Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and the Guarantors in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 9.19. No Fiduciary Duty. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that each Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of any Loan Party, its stockholders and/or their respective Affiliates. The Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and each

145

other Loan Party, that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Loan Party, its stockholders or their respective Affiliates on the other hand. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (ii) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party.

The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Goldman Sachs & Co. has been retained by the Borrower as financial advisor and Barclays Capital Inc. has been retained by Cerberus as financial advisor (each in such capacity, a “Financial Advisor”), in each case in connection with the potential sale of all or a portion of the businesses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the NAI Sale. Each party hereto agrees to such retention, and further agrees not to assert any claim it might allege based on any actual or potential conflicts of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from (x) on the one hand, the engagement of Goldman Sachs & Co, in its capacity as a Financial Advisor and, on the other hand, Goldman Sachs’ and its affiliates’ relationships with such party as described and referred to herein or (y) on the one hand, the engagement of Barclays Capital Inc., in its capacity as a Financial Advisor and, on the other hand, Barclays’ and its affiliates’ relationships with such party as described and referred to herein. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the agreements and obligations between the Borrower and Goldman Sachs & Co. as a Financial Advisor.

SECTION 9.20. Collateral and Guarantee Matters. Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent, unasserted indemnification obligations) (the occurrence of the events described in this clause (i), the “Discharge of Obligations”), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (including, without limitation, in connection with a receivables facility described in clause (k) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness) or under any other Loan Document and, in the case of any

146

Lien on any Real Estate Collateral Property, which sale or other disposition is made in accordance with the requirements of Section 9.21, (iii) in connection with a release permitted by and in accordance with Section 9.21 or (iv) subject to Section 9.08, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; and

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under each of the Security Agreement and the Facility Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.20. In each case as specified in this Section 9.20, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the Facility Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.20.

The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

SECTION 9.21. Substitution, Release and Addition of Term Loan Priority Collateral. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.21 and the requirements of Section 5.25, the Borrower may, after the Closing Date, (i) substitute one or more fee-owned or ground leased Real Estate sites (and the Equipment located thereon owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) as Term Loan Priority Collateral (each, a “Substitute Property”), in lieu of any one or more Real Estate Collateral Properties (each, a “Replaced Property”) and the Related Real Estate Collateral located thereon (each such substitution, once the requirements of Section 5.25 and this Section 9.21 have been satisfied with respect to such Replaced Property, a “Term Loan Priority Collateral Substitution”), provided that no such substitution shall affect the amount of time permitted for taking any action in accordance with Section 5.25, (ii) request that the Collateral Agent release its Lien on any Real Estate Collateral Property and the Related Real Estate Collateral located thereon, or on the Related Real Estate Collateral located on any Material Related Collateral Location (each, a “Release Property”) and, with respect to such Release Property, to the extent the relevant requirements of this Section 9.21 are satisfied, the Collateral Agent shall release such Lien in accordance with Section 9.20 (each, a “Term Loan Priority Collateral Release”) and (iii) add one or more fee-owned or ground leased Real Estate sites (and the Equipment located thereon owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) or Related Real Estate Collateral on additional Material Related Collateral Locations (in each case including pursuant to the requirements of Section 5.12 or Section 5.17) (each, an “Additional Property”) as Term Loan Priority Collateral (each, a “Term Loan Priority Collateral Addition”); provided that the following conditions have been satisfied:

In order to further evidence the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, each Grantor represents, warrants and agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, with respect to the following Collateral that:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. As of the date hereof (i) no amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral in excess of $10,000,000 is evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper other than such Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 3.4(a) hereto and (ii) each Instrument and each item of Tangible Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 3.4(a) hereto, to the extent requested by the Collateral Agent, has been properly endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment and letters of direction duly executed in blank.

(b) Deposit Accounts. Such Grantor does not have any Deposit Accounts as of the date hereof, except as set forth in Schedule 3.21(a) of Credit Agreement.

(i) As of the date hereof (A) it has no Securities Accounts containing any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral, and (B) it does not hold, own or have any interest in any certificated securities or uncertificated securities evidencing any Collateral or proceeds of

(ii) If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities evidencing any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral having a value in excess of $10,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly (A) notify the Collateral Agent thereof and endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or (B) deliver such securities into a Securities Account with respect to which a Securities Account Control Agreement is in effect in favor of the Collateral Agent. If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor evidencing any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral having a value in excess of $10,000,000 are uncertificated, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (1) grant Control to the Collateral Agent and cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, (2) cause a security entitlement with respect to such uncertificated security to be held in a Securities Account with respect to which the Collateral Agent has Control or (3) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.

(e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If such Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor that constitutes Related Collateral, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of, and to pay to the Collateral Agent, the proceeds of, any drawing under the Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

Each Grantor shall take such further actions, and execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or appropriate, wherever required by Law, in order to perfect, preserve and protect the security interest in the Collateral (other than agreements under 17 U.S.C. § 201(d)(2) and to the extent such further actions require registrations with respect to Intellectual Property in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, excluding Registered Intellectual Property, except as required under Section 6.4 of this Security Agreement) as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, or better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent or permit the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall make, execute,

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Grantor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection thereof in the Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors. The Grantors and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that this Security Agreement is intended to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in and Lien upon the Collateral and shall not constitute or create a present assignment of any of the Collateral.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

In addition to, and without limitation of, each of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

SECTION 4.1 Title. No financing statement, mortgage, or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit Agreement. The security interests granted pursuant to this Security Agreement constitute a legal and valid security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, securing the payment and performance of each Grantor’s Obligations and upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3.3 hereto (all of which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on such Schedule, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in duly completed and duly executed form, as applicable, and may be filed by the Collateral Agent at any time) and payment of all filing fees, will constitute fully perfected security interests in all of the Collateral (other than agreements under 17 U.S.C. § 201(d)(2) and Intellectual Property, other than Registered Intellectual Property to the extent such perfection requires registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office, except to the extent such registration is required under Section 6.4 of this Security Agreement) prior to all other Liens on the Collateral except for Permitted Encumbrances arising by operation of law that have priority under such law and Permitted Encumbrances permitted by clause (t) of the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances” in the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Grantor has taken all actions necessary or desirable, including without limitation those specified in Section 3.4(c) hereof to: (a) establish the Collateral Agent’s “control” (within the meanings of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC) over any portion of the Related Collateral constituting Certificated Securities, Uncertificated Securities, Securities Accounts, Securities Entitlements or Commodity Accounts (other than as provided for in Sections 3.1 and 3.4(c) hereof), (b) establish the Collateral Agent’s “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) over all Deposit Accounts (other

than Excluded DDAs), (c) establish the Collateral Agent’s “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-107 of the UCC) over all Related Collateral constituting Letter-of-Credit Rights, (d) establish the Collateral Agent’s control (within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC) over all Related Collateral constituting Electronic Chattel Paper and (e) establish the Collateral Agent’s “control” (within the meaning of Section 16 of the UETA) over all Related Collateral constituting “transferable records” (as defined in the UETA).

SECTION 4.2 Limitation on Liens; Defense of Claims; Transferability of Collateral. Each Grantor, as to Collateral now owned by it or acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, is or will be the sole direct and beneficial owner of such Collateral free from any Lien or other right, title or interest of any Person other than the Liens and security interest created by this Security Agreement and Permitted Encumbrances. Each Grantor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Collateral Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all Persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Encumbrances. There is no agreement, and no Grantor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the Collateral or otherwise impair or conflict with such Grantors’ obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

SECTION 4.3 Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization.

(a) The exact legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, federal taxpayer identification number, organizational identification number and the mailing address for purposes of completing a UCC-1 financing statement of such Grantor is indicated next to its name in Schedules I(A) and I(B) of the Perfection Certificate. No Grantor has, during the four months prior to the date of this Security Agreement, been known by or used any other legal or fictitious name or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in Schedule 4.3(a) hereto.

(b) The Collateral Agent may rely on advice of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Grantors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in any Periodic Update Schedule or Occurrence Update Schedule. If any Grantor fails to provide information to the Collateral Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Grantor’s property constituting Collateral, for which the Collateral Agent needed to have information relating to such changes. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Grantor does not inform the Collateral Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Collateral Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Grantor.

SECTION 4.4 Location of Inventory. As of the Closing Date, all Inventory of such Grantor is located at one of the locations listed in Schedule 3.08(b) and Schedule 3.08(c) to the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 4.7 No Conflicts, Consents, etc. No consent of any party (including, without limitation, equityholders or creditors of such Grantor) and no consent, authorization, approval, license or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body or other Person is required for the grant of the security interest by such Grantor of the Collateral pledged by it pursuant to this Security Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance hereof by such Grantor, except for the perfection or maintenance of the Liens created under this Security Agreement (including the first priority nature thereof, subject to Permitted Encumbrances having priority by operation of law and, with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, to Permitted Encumbrances permitted by clause (t) of the definition of “Permitted Encumbrances” in the Credit Agreement) and such consents which have been obtained or made prior to the date hereof and are in full force and effect. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent desires to exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Security Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other Person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Collateral Agent to obtain as soon as commercially practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.

SECTION 4.8 Collateral. All information set forth herein, including the schedules annexed hereto, and all information contained in any documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to any Secured Party in connection with this Security Agreement, in each case, relating to the Collateral, is accurate and complete in all material respects. The Collateral described on the schedules annexed hereto constitutes all of the property of such type of Collateral owned or held by the Grantors.

In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.9, including

reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 4.10 Payment of Taxes; Compliance with Laws; Contested Liens; Claims. Each Grantor represents and warrants that all Claims imposed upon or assessed against the Collateral have been paid and discharged except to the extent such Claims constitute a Lien not yet due and payable or a Permitted Encumbrance. Each Grantor shall comply with all applicable Law relating to the Collateral the failure to comply with which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Grantor may at its own expense contest the validity, amount or applicability of any Claims so long as the contest thereof shall be conducted in accordance with, and permitted pursuant to the provisions of, the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.10, no contest of any such obligation may be pursued by such Grantor if such contest would expose the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to (a) any possible criminal liability or (b) any additional civil liability for failure to comply with such obligations unless such Grantor shall have furnished a bond or other security therefor satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, as the case may be.

SECTION 4.11 [Reserved].

SECTION 4.12 New Subsidiaries. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries (whether by acquisition or creation) of any Grantor are required to enter into this Security Agreement by executing and delivering in favor of the Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement by any such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Collateral Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, from time to time in respect of the Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein, under applicable Law or otherwise available to it, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:

(a) Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from any Grantor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon any Grantor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located, remove such Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Collateral and use in connection with such removal and possession any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Grantor;

(b) Demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Collateral including, without limitation, instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, that, in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Grantor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, such Grantor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent;

(c) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Grantor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;

(d) Take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Grantor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Grantor shall at its own expense: (i) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Collateral Agent and therewith delivered to the Collateral Agent, (ii) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent and (iii) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. Each

Grantor’s obligation to deliver the Collateral as contemplated in this Section 8.1 is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by any Grantor of such obligation;

(e) Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of any Grantor constituting Collateral for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement;

(f) Retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement;

(g) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Collateral, including, without limitation, perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Collateral; and

(h) Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, and the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in Section 8.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such Person as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable by such Person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by 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. 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. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, 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, assigned or licensed 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.

SECTION 8.2 Notice of Sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by applicable Law and unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Collateral Agent shall provide such Grantor such advance notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), 10 days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale

or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Grantor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying (as permitted under Law) any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

SECTION 8.3 Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Grantor would otherwise have under law, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law: (a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (b) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (c) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable Law. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article VIII in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Grantor.

SECTION 8.4 Certain Sales of Collateral.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable Law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

(b) 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 Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to limit purchasers to Persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or Investment 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 sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, 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 Securities Collateral or

Investment 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 agree to do so.

(c) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Grantor shall from time to time furnish to the Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral or Investment Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(d) Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8.4 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 Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 8.5 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy; nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law.

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Security Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case, the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 8.6 Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof to the extent such assignment does not result in any loss of rights therein under applicable Law. Within five Business Days of written notice thereafter 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 the Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold by such Grantor under the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights, and such Persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf.

SECTION 8.7 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Security Agreement, in accordance with and as set forth in Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 8.8 Third Party Agreements. Pursuant to the Collateral Access Agreements (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement), DDA Notifications and Credit Card Notifications, the Collateral Agent has the right to give notice to certain Persons who are parties thereto or recipients thereof. With respect to each DDA Notification and Credit Card Notification, the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not deliver any notice instructing the recipient thereof to transfer funds to any account other than the account identified in such notice until after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Additionally, with respect to each Credit Card Notification, the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not deliver any request for statements or other information until after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 9.1 Concerning the Collateral Agent.

(a) The Collateral Agent has been appointed as agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent 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 action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with this Security Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Security Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof

shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Security Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have responsibility for, without limitation (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Security Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

(d) If any item of Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or provisions shall control.

SECTION 9.2 Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Grantor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Security Agreement or in the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, such Grantor’s covenants to (a) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (b) pay Claims, (c) make repairs, (d) discharge Liens or (e) pay or perform any other obligations of such Grantor with respect to any Collateral) or if any warranty on the part of any Grantor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, that, the Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, lien, imposition or other obligation which such Grantor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Grantors in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3 hereof. Neither the provisions of this Section 9.2 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Security Agreement nor any breach of warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes

hereof. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

SECTION 9.4 Continuing Security Interest; Assignment.

No other Persons (including, without limitation, any other creditor of any Grantor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Security Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject, however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9.5 Termination; Release.

(a) This Security Agreement, the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties) and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate with respect to all Secured Obligations, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto, when (i) the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated and (ii) the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other Secured Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash; provided, that, in connection with the termination of this Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent may require such indemnities and collateral security as it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Secured Parties against (A) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Secured Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, (B) any obligations that may thereafter arise with respect to the Bank Product Obligations and (C) any Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) that may thereafter arise under Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) (i) Upon the consummation of a transaction expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, which results in a Grantor ceasing to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower, such Grantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Security Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate with respect to such Grantor and all rights to the Collateral of such Grantor shall revert to such Grantor or any other Person entitled thereto.

(ii) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement (other than a sale or other transfer to a Loan Party), or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.20 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall terminate with respect to such Collateral and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto.

(iii) At such time as any of the foregoing contained Sections 9.5(a), 9.5(b)(i) and 9.5(b)(ii) hereof, upon the Borrower’s written request and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent will (A) assign, transfer and deliver to the Grantors, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent, such of the Collateral to be released (in the case of a release) or all of the Collateral (in the case of the satisfaction of Sections 9.5(a), 9.5(b)(i) and 9.5(b)(ii) hereof) as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (B) with respect to any other Collateral, authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements and other documents (including UCC termination statements or releases) to terminate such security interests.

(c) At any time that the respective Grantor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action described in Section 9.5(b) hereof, such Grantor shall, upon request of the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to Sections 9.5(a) or 9.5(b) hereof.

TERM LOAN GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”), dated as of March 21, 2013, by each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on the signature pages hereto (each such Person, individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of (a) Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”) for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties and (b) the Secured Parties.

W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of March 21, 2013 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated hereafter, the “Credit Agreement”), among SUPERVALU Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors, the Lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrower pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it is an integral part of a consolidated enterprise and that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the availability of the credit facility provided for in the Credit Agreement and from the making of the Loans by the Lenders.

WHEREAS, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of a guaranty in the form hereof. As consideration therefor, and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Guaranty.

Accordingly, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

SECTION 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance by the Borrower of all Obligations (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), including all such Guaranteed Obligations which shall become due but for the operation of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon this Guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

SECTION 2. Guaranteed Obligations Not Affected. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from, and protest to, any Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of protest for nonpayment and all other notices of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise or against any other party with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, with respect to any Loan

Party or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or (d) the lack of legal existence of any Loan Party or legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Loan Party for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, in any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party.

SECTION 3. Security. Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and each of the other Secured Parties may (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, the Borrower, other Guarantors or other obligors, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 4. Guaranty of Payment. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and performance when due of all Guaranteed Obligations and not of collection and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the Collateral or other security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or to any other guarantor of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any payment required to be made by the Guarantors hereunder may be required by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party on any number of occasions and shall be payable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 6. Defenses of Loan Parties Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent that the

Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Pursuant to, and to the extent permitted by, applicable Law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election and waives any benefit of and right to participate in any such foreclosure action, even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not assert any claim in competition with the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in respect of any payment made hereunder in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or any other proceeding.

SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Loan Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligations. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower or any other Loan Party may make payments to any Guarantor on account of any such indebtedness. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, none of the Guarantors will demand, sue for, or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination or expiration of the Commitments. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (a) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (b) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 8. Limitation on Guaranty of Guaranteed Obligations.

(a) In any action or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor involving any state corporate law, the Bankruptcy Code or any other state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, including, without limitation, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the guaranty set forth herein and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, if the obligations of such Guarantor under Section 1 hereof would otherwise be determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, in such action or proceeding on account of the amount of its liability under Section 1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Lender, Administrative Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

(b) In such circumstances, to effectuate the foregoing, the amount of the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be determined, unless such Guarantor is a borrower under the ABL Facility, after taking into account such Guarantor’s liability under the ABL Facility based on the fraction, the

numerator of which is the then outstanding total liability under the ABL Facility and the denominator of which is the sum of the then outstanding total liability under the ABL Facility and the then outstanding total liability under the Term Facility as of the applicable date of determination. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, this Section 8(b) hereof shall be for the benefit solely of creditors and representatives of creditors of each Guarantor and not for the benefit of such Guarantor or the holders of any Equity Interest in such Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under this Section 8 without impairing the guaranty contained in Section 1 hereof or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.

SECTION 9. Information. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any of the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10. Termination; Release.

(a) This Guaranty (i) shall terminate upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent, unasserted indemnification obligations) and (ii) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise.

(b) A Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 11. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Guaranty any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Guaranty shall bind and inure to the benefit of each of the Guarantors and its respective successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void), except as expressly permitted by this Guaranty or the Credit Agreement. This Guaranty shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 12. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under applicable Law (herein, the “Administrative Agent’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have. No delay or omission by the Administrative Agent in exercising or enforcing any of the Administrative Agent’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Administrative Agent of any Event of Default or of any default under any other agreement shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or under any other agreement. No single or partial exercise of any of the Administrative Agent’s Rights or Remedies, and no express or implied agreement or transaction of

whatever nature entered into between the Administrative Agent and any Person, at any time, shall preclude the other or further exercise of the Administrative Agent’s Rights and Remedies. No waiver by the Administrative Agent of any of the Administrative Agent’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a waiver on any subsequent occasion, nor shall it be deemed a continuing waiver. The Administrative Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Administrative Agent may determine. The Administrative Agent’s Rights and Remedies may be exercised without resort or regard to any other source of satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations. No waiver of any provisions of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12(b) hereof, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor or any other Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Administrative Agent and a Guarantor or the Guarantors with respect to whom such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 13. Copies and Facsimiles. This instrument and all documents which have been or may be hereinafter furnished by the Guarantors to the Administrative Agent may be reproduced by the Administrative Agent by any photographic, microfilm, xerographic, digital imaging, or other process. Any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in the regular course of business). Any facsimile or other electronic transmission which bears proof of transmission shall be binding on the party which or on whose behalf such transmission was initiated and likewise so admissible in evidence as if the original of such facsimile or other electronic transmission had been delivered to the party which or on whose behalf such transmission was received.

SECTION 14. Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

SECTION 15. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided, that communications and notices to the Guarantors may be delivered to the Borrower on behalf of each of the Guarantors.

SECTION 16. Survival of Agreement; Severability.

(a) All covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Loans by the Lenders, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any other

Secured Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended, and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated as provided in Section 10 hereof.

(b) Any provision of this Guaranty held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 17. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Guaranty by facsimile transmission or by other electronic transmission (including “.pdf” or “.tif”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Guaranty.

SECTION 18. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty.

SECTION 19. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents against a Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction if required to realize upon the Collateral as determined in good faith by the Person bringing such action or proceeding.

(b) Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Guaranty irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 17 hereof. Nothing in this Guaranty will affect the right of any party to this Guaranty to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

10. Leases. Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not lease, sublease, license, or sublicense all or any portion of, or any interest in, the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor may revise, modify, or amend any Lease without the

consent of Mortgagee, provided that the Lease, as modified, is or would be expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement.

11. Further Assurances. Mortgagor agrees to execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents), that may be required under any applicable Law, or which Mortgagee may reasonably request, to grant, preserve, protect or perfect the Lien created or intended to be created by this Mortgage or the validity or priority of such Lien, all at the expense of Mortgagor.

12. Mortgagee’s Right to Perform. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor hereunder (other than with respect to the failure to maintain insurance as required hereunder, in which case Mortgagee can immediately perform), and such failure constitutes an Event of Default, without waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation or default under this Mortgage, Mortgagee may, at any time (but shall be under no obligation to) pay or perform the same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement, shall constitute Protective Advances secured by this Mortgage and shall be a Lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to any right, title to, interest in or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching subsequent to the Lien of this Mortgage. No payment or advance of money or performance rendered by Mortgagee under this Section 1221 shall be deemed or construed to cure any default or Event of Default or waive any right or remedy of Mortgagee.

13. Hazardous Material. Mortgagor shall comply with all provisions of the Credit Agreement regarding Hazardous Materials and Environmental Laws with respect to itself and the Mortgaged Property.

14. Protective Advances. All Protective Advances shall: (a) become part of the Secured Obligations and be secured by this Mortgage; (b) bear interest at the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement (commencing from the date that the funds are advanced by or on behalf of Mortgagee and continuing until Mortgagor has actually repaid such advances in full), the payment of which interest this Mortgage shall secure; and (c) be repaid by Mortgagor immediately or upon demand, which obligation shall survive repayment of all other Obligations or any foreclosure in connection with this Mortgage. As used herein, the term “Protective Advance” means any amount that Mortgagee advances or expends in its sole and absolute discretion to cure or seek to cure any default or in exercising any remedy of Mortgagee hereunder.

15. Events of Default. The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

16. Remedies. (a) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein, under applicable Law, under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or

21 For leasehold mortgages, change to “Section 12” to “Section 13.”

otherwise available to it (including, to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, declaring amounts secured by this Mortgage to be due and payable, in whole or in part, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable), immediately take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:

(i) Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (A) take immediate possession of all of the Mortgaged Property and take such action as Mortgagee, in its sole judgment, deems necessary to protect and preserve the Mortgaged Property, (B) institute, maintain and complete an action of mortgage foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and cause the Mortgaged Property to be sold in total or in parts, (C) purchase the Mortgaged Property at foreclosure sale, (D) enforce any judgment received in connection with the exercise of remedies under the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents, (E) sell all or part of the Mortgaged Property (Mortgagor expressly granting to Mortgagee the power of sale), or (F) take any other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage. Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon.

(ii) Mortgagee may personally, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other Collateral as security for the Secured Obligations, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without limitation, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease, and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

(iii) Mortgagee may, with respect to personal property included in the Mortgaged Property, exercise all of the applicable rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code in effect in the state in which the Premises are located (the “State”).

(b) In case of a foreclosure sale, the Premises may be sold, at Mortgagee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically empowered, (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held.

(c) Except as expressly provided above in this Section 1622 or elsewhere in this Mortgage, presentment, demand, and protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

17. Sale of the Properties; Application of Proceeds. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the proceeds or avails of a foreclosure sale and all moneys received by Mortgagee pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Mortgage shall be applied in accordance with, and subject to, Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

18. Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. Upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage, whether made under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Secured Obligations or other sums secured by this Mortgage the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, any Note, the Facility Guaranty and documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the Person conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Secured Obligations as having been paid.

19. Appointment of Receiver. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein, under applicable Law or otherwise available to it as a matter of right and without notice to Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Secured Obligations or the interest of Mortgagor therein, apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by applicable Law). Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.

20. Extension, Release, etc. (a) Without affecting the Lien or charge of this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Secured Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice, release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property in accordance with, and subject to, Section 9.20 of the Credit Agreement. [If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Secured Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the

22 For leasehold mortgages, change to “Section 16” to “Section 17.”

Secured Obligations shall not reduce the amount of the Lien of this Mortgage until the Lien amount shall equal the principal amount of the Secured Obligations outstanding.]23

(b) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect the Lien of this Mortgage or any Liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such Liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired until this Mortgage is terminated or released in accordance with Section 39.

(c) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the Lien of this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property. The failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Secured Obligations or to foreclose the Lien of this Mortgage.

(d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that ownership of this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same Person, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid Lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.

21. Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a Security Agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State (the “Code”). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein, under applicable Law or otherwise available to it under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents at Mortgagee’s option either (i) proceed under the Code and exercise such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the Code with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) treat such property as real property and proceed with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the Code shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the Code, then ten days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

(a) Mortgagor and Mortgagee agree, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, that: (i) this Mortgage upon recording or registration in the real estate records of the proper office shall constitute a financing statement filed as a “fixture filing” within the meaning of the Code; (ii) [ ] is the record owner of the Premises; (iii) the addresses of Mortgagor

23 To be deleted in States where no mortgage recording tax is imposed.

and Mortgagee are as set forth in the initial paragraph of this Mortgage; and (iv) the organization identification number of Mortgagor is [ ].

(b) Mortgagor, upon request by Mortgagee from time to time, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Mortgagee one or more separate security agreements, in form reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, covering all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and will further execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, any financing statement, affidavit, continuation statement or certificate or other document as Mortgagee may reasonably request in order to perfect, preserve, maintain, continue or extend the security interest under and the priority of this Mortgage and any such security agreements. Mortgagor further agrees to pay to Mortgagee on demand all costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee in connection with the preparation, execution, recording, filing and re-filing of any such document and all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements Mortgagee shall reasonably require. Pursuant to the provisions of the Code, Mortgagor hereby authorizes Mortgagee to file any such financing and continuation statements as required by the Credit Agreement. The filing of any financing or continuation statements in the records relating to personal property or chattels shall not be construed as in any way impairing the right of Mortgagee to proceed against any personal property encumbered by this Mortgage as real property, as set forth above.

22. Assignment of Rents. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the Rents as further security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, and to apply the Rents on account of the Secured Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Secured Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations) are paid in full, but Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Mortgage; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under this Mortgage by giving not less than five days’ written notice of such revocation to Mortgagor. In the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any Lease security deposits. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).

23. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement to Mortgagor in care of Borrower and to Mortgagee at the address of the Collateral Agent as specified therein.

24. No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any agreement made by

Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the effective date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate Lien or encumbrance.

25. Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Mortgage or in any provisions of the Loan Documents, the obligations of Mortgagor and of any other obligor under the Loan Documents to repay the Secured Obligations shall be subject to the limitation that Mortgagee shall not charge, take or receive, nor shall Mortgagor or any other obligor be obligated to pay to Mortgagee, any amounts constituting interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by Law to be charged by Mortgagee, as provided by Section 9.09 of the Credit Agreement.

26. Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all Laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Secured Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale, and (iii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process. To the fullest extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any Law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all Persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of foreclosure of the Liens hereby created.

27. Remedies Not Exclusive. In addition to any rights and remedies that Mortgagee may have under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Mortgagee shall be entitled to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any applicable Laws now or hereafter in force with respect hereto, notwithstanding that some or all of the Secured Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, security agreement, pledge, Lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall not be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties and that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be

exclusive of any other remedy herein or by Law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which Mortgagee is otherwise entitled may be exercised concurrently or independently from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee in accordance therewith. In no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

28. Multiple Security. If (a) the Premises shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold one or more additional mortgages, Liens, deeds of trust or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Secured Obligations upon other property in the State (whether or not such property is owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Secured Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of any county in the State in which any of such collateral is located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action in the State is a specific inducement to Mortgagee to extend the Secured Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Secured Obligations, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State, Mortgagee may commence or continue foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor waives any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State) which directly or indirectly secures the Secured Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also waives any right to

seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other proceedings or any action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action in the State at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Secured Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

29. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Mortgage any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party as permitted by the Credit Agreement; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Mortgagor or Mortgagee that are contained in this Mortgage shall run with the Premises and bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

30. No Waivers, etc. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate Lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in anywise impairing or affecting the Lien of this Mortgage or the priority of such Lien over any subordinate Lien. No failure or delay of Mortgagee in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. No waiver of any provision of this Mortgage or consent to any departure by Mortgagor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted as provided in Section 24,24 and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Mortgagor in any case shall entitle Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

31. Governing Law, etc. The provisions of this Mortgage regarding the creation, perfection, priority, and enforcement of the Liens and security interests granted herein shall be governed by and construed under the Laws of the State. All other provisions of this Mortgage and the rights and obligations of Mortgagor and Mortgagee, including the provisions of the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document incorporated or referenced herein shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof that would result in the application of any Law other than the Law of the State of New York.

32. Certain Definitions. The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it reads “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of Mortgagors shall be joint and several. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee

or any successor Collateral Agent or other permitted agent for the Lenders permitted by the Credit Agreement,” and the words “Mortgaged Property” shall include any portion of the Mortgaged Property or interest therein. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa. The captions in this Mortgage are for convenience or reference only and in no way limit or amplify the provisions hereof.

33. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) MORTGAGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OR OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND MORTGAGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN THE AFORESAID COURTS. MORTGAGOR AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS MORTGAGE SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT MORTGAGEE MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE AGAINST MORTGAGOR OR THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION IF REQUIRED TO REALIZE UPON THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY OR ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT.

(b) MORTGAGOR FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MORTGAGE IN ANY OF THE AFORESAID COURTS IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE. MORTGAGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(c) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MORTGAGOR IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 23,25 EXCLUDING SERVICE OF PROCESS BY MAIL. NOTHING IN THIS MORTGAGE WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF MORTGAGOR OR MORTGAGEE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

35. Mortgagee as Agent; Successor Agents. (a) Mortgagee has been appointed to act as agent hereunder by the other Secured Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Mortgagee 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 (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of the Mortgaged Property) in accordance with the Credit Agreement, any related agency agreement among the Loan Parties, Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties (collectively, as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified or replaced from time to time, the “Agency Documents”) and this Mortgage. Mortgagor and all other Persons shall be entitled to rely on releases, waivers, consents, approvals, notifications and other acts of Mortgagee, without inquiry into the existence of required consents or approvals of the Secured Parties therefor.

(b) Mortgagee shall at all times be the same Person that is the Collateral Agent or other permitted agency role under the Agency Documents. Mortgagee may resign and a successor agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement, and written notice of resignation by the Collateral Agent or other permitted agent pursuant to the Agency Documents shall also constitute notice of resignation as Mortgagee under this Mortgage. Removal of the Collateral Agent or other permitted agent pursuant to any provision of the Agency Documents shall also constitute removal as Mortgagee under this Mortgage. Appointment of a successor Collateral Agent or other permitted agent pursuant to the Agency Documents shall also constitute appointment of a successor Mortgagee under this Mortgage. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent or other permitted agent by a successor Collateral Agent or other permitted agent under the Agency Documents, that successor Collateral Agent or other permitted agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent or other permitted agent as Mortgagee under this Mortgage, and the retiring or removed Mortgagee shall promptly (i) assign and transfer to such successor Mortgagee all of its right, title and interest in and to this Mortgage and the Mortgaged Property, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Mortgagee such assignments and amendments and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Mortgagee of the Liens and security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Mortgagee shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Mortgage.

Subject Lease. (a) Mortgagor represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

(i) Mortgagor has delivered to Mortgagee a true, correct and complete copy of the Subject Lease, including all amendments and modifications, existing as of the date hereof.

(ii) Mortgagor has not executed or entered into any modifications or amendments of the Subject Lease, either orally or in writing, other than written amendments that have been disclosed to Mortgagee in writing. Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not enter into any new leases of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any modifications or amendments of the

H-1

Subject Lease except with Mortgagee’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) The Subject Lease is in full force and effect, and Mortgagor is in no default of its obligations under the Subject Lease that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would entitle Lessor to terminate the Subject Lease or avoid its obligations thereunder. To Mortgagor’s knowledge, no other event has occurred that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would entitle Lessor to terminate the Subject Lease or avoid its obligations thereunder. Mortgagor has no knowledge of any material default of Lessor’s obligations under the Subject Lease or the occurrence of any event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such a default or entitle Mortgagor to terminate the Subject Lease or avoid its obligations thereunder.

(iv) Except for Permitted Exceptions, Mortgagor has not executed any assignment or pledge of the Subject Lease or of Mortgagor’s right, title or interest in the same.

(v) This Mortgage has been granted in conformity with the Subject Lease, does not constitute a violation or default under the Subject Lease, and shall at all times constitute a valid Lien (subject only to matters permitted by this Mortgage) on Mortgagor’s interests in the Subject Lease.

(vi) Mortgagor shall pay, when due and payable, the rentals, additional rentals, and other charges required to be paid by Mortgagor under the terms of the Subject Lease.

(vii) Mortgagor shall perform and observe all terms, covenants, and conditions that Mortgagor is required to perform and observe as lessee under the Subject Lease (including maintenance of insurance as required thereby and under the Credit Agreement), and will not do or suffer to be done anything the doing of which, or refrain from doing anything the omission of which, will impair the security of this Mortgage. Mortgagor will enforce the obligations of the Lessor under the Subject Lease, to the end that Mortgagor may enjoy all of the rights granted to it as lessee under the Subject Lease. Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee any and all documentary evidence received by it or in its possession showing compliance by Mortgagor with the provisions of the Subject Lease that Mortgagee may reasonably request from time to time.

(viii) Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of any written notice of default or termination under the Subject Lease that it receives from the Lessor. Mortgagor shall promptly notify Mortgagee of any request that either party to the Subject Lease makes for arbitration pursuant to the Subject Lease and the guidelines of the institution of any such arbitration. Mortgagor shall promptly deliver to Mortgagee a copy of the arbitrators’ determination in each such arbitration. Mortgagee may participate in any such arbitration in such manner as Mortgagee shall determine appropriate, including, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the exclusion of Mortgagor if so determined by Mortgagee in its reasonable discretion.

H-2

(ix) Mortgagor shall not, without Mortgagee’s consent, consent or refuse to consent to any action that the Lessor or any third party takes or desires to take pursuant to the terms and provisions of such Subject Lease if such action has a material adverse effect on the Subject Lease or Mortgagor’s rights thereunder.

(x) Mortgagor’s obligations under this Mortgage are independent of and in addition to Mortgagor’s obligations under the Subject Lease. Nothing in this Mortgage shall be construed to require Mortgagor or Mortgagee to take or omit to take any action that would cause a default under the Subject Lease.

(b) Treatment of Subject Lease in Bankruptcy. (i) If the Lessor rejects or disaffirms, or seeks or purports to reject or disaffirm, the Subject Lease pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law, then Mortgagor shall not suffer or permit the termination of any Lease by exercise of the 365(h) Election or otherwise without Mortgagee’s consent. Mortgagor acknowledges that because the Subject Lease is a primary element of Mortgagee’s security for the Secured Obligations, it is not anticipated that Mortgagee would consent to termination of the Subject Lease. If Mortgagor makes any 365(h) Election in violation of this Mortgage, then such 365(h) Election shall be void and of no force or effect.

(ii) Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the 365(h) Election with respect to the Subject Lease until the earlier of (i) satisfaction in full of the Secured Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations), and (ii) release of Mortgagee’s security interest in the Subject Lease. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing assignment of the 365(h) Election and related rights is one of the rights that Mortgagee may use at any time to protect and preserve Mortgagee’s other rights and interests under this Mortgage. Mortgagor further acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of terminating the Subject Lease would constitute waste prohibited by this Mortgage. Mortgagor acknowledges and agrees that the 365(h) Election is in the nature of a remedy available to Mortgagor under the Subject Lease, and is not a property interest that Mortgagor can separate from the Subject Lease as to which it arises. Therefore, Mortgagor agrees and acknowledges that exercise of the 365(h) Election in favor of preserving the right to possession under the Subject Lease shall not be deemed to constitute Mortgagee’s taking or sale of the Land (or any element thereof) and shall not entitle Mortgagor to any credit against the Secured Obligations secured hereunder or otherwise impair Mortgagee’s remedies.

(iii) Mortgagor acknowledges that if the 365(h) Election is exercised in favor of Mortgagor’s remaining in possession under the Subject Lease, then Mortgagor’s resulting occupancy rights, as adjusted by the effect of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall then be part of the Mortgaged Property and shall be subject to the Lien of this Mortgage.

(iv) If the Lessor rejects or disaffirms the Subject Lease or purports or seeks to disaffirm such Subject Lease pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law, and the

H-3

365(h) Election is exercised in favor of Mortgagor’s remaining in possession under the Subject Lease, then:

(1) Mortgagor shall remain in possession of the Land demised under the Subject Lease and shall perform all acts necessary for Mortgagor to remain in such possession for the unexpired term of such Subject Lease (including all renewals), whether the then existing terms and provisions of such Subject Lease require such acts or otherwise; and

(2) All the terms and provisions of this Mortgage and the Lien created by this Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect and shall extend automatically to all of Mortgagor’s rights and remedies arising at any time under, or pursuant to, Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, including all of Mortgagor’s rights to remain in possession of the Land.

(c) Assignment of Claims to Mortgagee. Mortgagor, immediately upon learning that the Lessor has failed to perform any material term or provision under the Subject Lease (including by reason of a rejection or disaffirmance or purported rejection or disaffirmance of such Subject Lease pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law), shall notify Mortgagee of any such material failure to perform. Mortgagor unconditionally assigns, transfers, and sets over to Mortgagee any and all Lease Damage Claims. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable, and unconditional assignment of the Lease Damage Claims, and shall continue in effect until the earlier of (i) satisfaction in full of the Secured Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations), and (ii) release of Mortgagee’s security interest in the Subject Lease. So long as no Event of Default exists, Mortgagee grants Mortgagor a revocable license to exercise, collect and receive any sums arising in connection with any Lease Damage Claims (the “Lease Damages”). While any Event of Default exists, Mortgagee may (x) revoke such license, with or without notice (“Revocation of License”), or (y) collect all Lease Damages directly under the foregoing absolute assignment of all Lease Damage Claims to Mortgagee. Upon any Revocation of License, Mortgagor promptly shall pay to Mortgagee all Lease Damages paid to Mortgagor to the extent that the same are allocable to any period from and after such Revocation of License, and Mortgagor shall hold in trust all Lease Damages (to be applied as required pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement).

(d) Offset by Mortgagor. If pursuant to Section 365(h)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other similar Debtor Relief Law, Mortgagor seeks to offset against any rent under the Subject Lease the amount of any Lease Damage Claim, then Mortgagor shall notify Mortgagee of its intent to do so at least 20 days before effecting such offset. Such notice shall set forth the amounts proposed to be so offset and the basis for such offset. If Mortgagee reasonably objects to all or any part of such offset, then Mortgagor shall not effect any offset of the amounts to which Mortgagee reasonably objects. If Mortgagee approves such offset, then Mortgagor may effect such offset as set forth in Mortgagor’s notice. Neither Mortgagee’s failure to object, nor any objection or other communication between Mortgagee and Mortgagor that relates to such offset, shall

(b) Each Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties for whom such Agent is acting, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the other Agent and any officer or agent of such Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Agent with the junior Lien or such holder or in the Agent’s own name, from time to time in such Agent’s (holding the senior Lien) discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 3.2, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.2, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which each Loan Party is a party by such Loan Party and the borrowing and repayment of debt, the use of proceeds thereof as required by the Credit Agreement, and providing of security for such borrowing pursuant to such Transaction Documents will not violate or cause a breach of any of the judgments, orders or decrees identified on Schedule 6 attached hereto, which the Loan Parties have informed us are the only judgments, orders or decrees applicable to the Loan Parties of any court, governmental authority or arbitrator.

(i) choice of law or forum selection provisions, or any provision which purports to confer jurisdiction upon any court or other tribunal, other than the choice of New York laws to govern the Transaction Documents, on which our opinion is rendered in reliance upon Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of New York and is subject to the qualifications that such enforceability may be limited by public policy considerations of any jurisdiction other than the courts of the State of New York in which

enforcement of such provisions, or of a judgment upon an agreement containing such provisions, is sought;

(i) the grant of a security interest in Collateral under the Transaction Documents or the transfer of rights in such security interest or Collateral may, in some instances, require or be conditioned upon receipt of consent of third parties, but such requirements or conditions may not be effective as to assignments or grants of security

interests in certain types of Collateral, including accounts, chattel paper, payment intangibles, promissory notes, leasehold or landlord’s residual interests, certain general intangibles and letter of credit rights, as provided in Sections 9-404 through 9-409 of the UCC-New York;

(vii) we express no opinion with respect to the validity, perfection or priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in any portion of the property of any Loan Party to the extent the Security Agreement does not describe such property specifically, but references to types of collateral that are defined in Section 9-102 of the UCC-New York are sufficiently specific;

(viii) we express no opinion with respect to the perfection of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in any Collateral which may only be perfected by “control” or “possession” within the meaning given to such term in the UCC-New York; and

(ix) we note that the enforcement of, and certain other matters affecting, security interests are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

(g) We express no opinion concerning any Loan Party’s rights in or title to, or the priority of any security interest, pledge, lien, or other similar interest in, any personal property, or the creation, perfection or priority of any lien, mortgage or other similar interest in any real property.

(h) Our opinions in clause (i) of Paragraph 5 and in Paragraph 7 are limited to (x) to our actual knowledge, if any, of the specifically regulated business activities and properties of each respective Company based solely upon an officer’s certificate in respect of such matters and without any independent investigation or verification on our part and (y) laws and regulations normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in the Transaction Documents and do not extend to licenses, permits and approvals necessary for the conduct of the such

Company’s business. In addition and without limiting the previous sentence, we express no opinion herein, in Paragraphs 5 or 7 or otherwise, with respect to the effect of any state or federal securities laws, land use, safety, hazardous material, environmental or similar law, or any local or regional law. In rendering such opinions, we have not conducted any independent investigation of the Companies or consulted with other attorneys in our firm with respect to the matters covered thereby. No inference as to our knowledge with respect to the factual matters upon which we have so qualified our opinions should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Companies.

(i) Except as set forth in clause (i) of each of Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5, and as set forth in Paragraphs 6 and 7, we express no opinion as to compliance or the effect of noncompliance by any Loan Party with any laws or regulations applicable to such entity in connection with the transactions described in the Transaction Documents.

(k) Our opinion in Paragraph 8 as to the Guaranty is subject to the defenses available to a guarantor under applicable law, but the waivers of such defenses set forth in the Guaranty are enforceable, subject to the other exceptions set forth herein.

(l) Section 290.371, subd. 4, of the Minnesota Statutes provides that any corporation required to file a Notice of Business Activities Report does not have a cause of action upon which it may bring suit under Minnesota law unless the corporation has filed a Notice of Business Activities Report and that the use of the courts of the State of Minnesota for all contracts executed and all causes of actions that arose before the end of any period for which a corporation failed to file a required report is precluded. Insofar as the foregoing opinion may relate to the enforceability of any agreement under Minnesota law or in a Minnesota court, we have assumed that any party seeking to enforce the agreement has at all times been, and will continue at all times to be, exempt from the requirement of filing a Notice of Business Activities Report or, if not exempt, has duly filed, and will continue to duly file, all Notice of Business Activities Reports.

(m) In rendering our opinion in Paragraphs 6 and 7, we are only opining as to consents, approvals, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings necessary for any Loan Party to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, and we express no opinion with respect to any consent, approval, authorization from, or any registration, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority or agency required generally in connection with the day-to-day business or operations of such entity.

This opinion is solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each other Secured Party, their respective successors and assigns, and any assignee pursuant to Section 9.04(b) of the Credit Agreement, in connection with the transaction described in this letter, may not be relied upon for any other purpose, and may not be relied upon or used by, nor may copies hereof

This letter relates to the Account Numbers referenced on Exhibit A annexed hereto and any other depository account(s) (collectively the “Account”) which [ ], a [ ] with an address at [ ] (the “Borrower”), now or hereafter maintains with you. The term “Account” shall also mean any certificates of deposit, investments, or other evidence of indebtedness heretofore or hereafter issued by you to or for the account of the Borrower.

The Borrower and certain of its affiliates have entered into separate financing agreements with each of (a) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, with an office at One Boston Place, 18th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02108-4407, as administrative and collateral agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, and any replacement agent pursuant to a replacement asset-based revolving credit financing, the “Revolving Loan Agent”) for its own benefit and the benefit of a syndicate of revolving lenders and certain other credit parties (together with their successors and assigns, and any replacement lenders pursuant to a replacement asset-based revolving credit financing, the “Revolving Credit Parties”), which are making loans or furnishing other financial accommodations to [ ]; and (b) Goldman Sachs Bank USA, with an office at 6031 Connection Drive, Irving, Texas 75039, c/o Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., as administrative and collateral agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, and any replacement agent pursuant to a replacement term loan credit financing, the “Term Loan Agent”) for its own benefit and the benefit of a syndicate of term lenders (together with their successors and assigns, and any replacement lenders pursuant to a replacement term loan credit financing, the “Term Credit Parties”), which are making term loans to the Borrower and certain of its affiliates.

For purposes of this letter, the term “Lender Representative” as used herein shall mean Revolving Loan Agent until such time as Revolving Loan Agent notifies you in writing (at your address above) that the Lender Representative shall be Term Loan Agent, and on and after

The Borrower has granted to the Revolving Loan Agent (for its own benefit and the benefit of the Revolving Credit Parties) and to the Term Loan Agent (for its own benefit and the benefit of the Term Credit Parties) security interests in and to, among other things, the Borrower’s accounts, accounts receivable, inventory, and proceeds therefrom, including, without limitation, the proceeds now or hereafter deposited in the Account or evidenced thereby. Consequently, the present and all future contents of the Account constitute the collateral of Revolving Loan Agent and Term Loan Agent.

Until you receive written notification from the Lender Representative that the interest of the Revolving Loan Agent, the other Revolving Credit Parties, the Term Loan Agent and the Term Credit Parties in the Accounts has been terminated, all funds from time to time on deposit in each of the Accounts, net of such minimum balance, not to exceed $[ ], shall be transferred [on each business day] [lesser frequency for remote accounts to be determined] as follows:

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

In addition to, and without limitation of, each of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

SECTION 4.1 Title(a) . No financing statement, mortgage, or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement or as are permitted by the Credit Agreement. The security interests granted pursuant to this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement constitute a legal and valid security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, securing the payment and performance of the Grantor’s Obligations and upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3.2 hereto (all of which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on such Schedule, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in duly completed and duly executed form, as applicable, and may be filed by the Collateral Agent at any time) and payment of all filing fees, will constitute fully perfected

security interests in all of the Collateral, prior to all other Liens on the Collateral except for Permitted Encumbrances arising by operation of law that have priority under such law.

SECTION 4.2 Limitation on Liens; Defense of Claims; Transferability of Collateral. The Grantor, as to Collateral now owned by it or acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, is or will be the sole direct and beneficial owner of such Collateral free from any Lien or other right, title or interest of any Person other than the Liens and security interest created by this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement and Permitted Encumbrances. The Grantor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Collateral Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all Persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Encumbrances. There is no agreement, and the Grantor shall not enter into any agreement or take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the Collateral or otherwise impair or conflict with the Grantor’s obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

SECTION 4.3 Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization.

(a) The exact legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, federal taxpayer identification number, organizational identification number and the mailing address for purposes of completing a UCC-1 financing statement of such Grantor is indicated next to its name in Schedules I(A) and I(B) of the Perfection Certificate. No Grantor has, during the four months prior to the date of this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement, been known by or used any other legal or fictitious name or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in Schedule 4.3(a) hereto.

(b) The Collateral Agent may rely on advice of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Grantors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement [or in any Periodic Update Schedule or Occurrence Update Schedule]. If any Grantor fails to provide information to the Collateral Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Grantor’s property constituting Collateral, for which the Collateral Agent needed to have information relating to such changes. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Grantor does not inform the Collateral Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Collateral Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Grantor.

SECTION 4.4 No Conflicts, Consents, etc. No consent of any party (including, without limitation, equityholders or creditors of the Grantor) and no consent, authorization, approval, license or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or regulatory body or other Person is required for the grant of the security interest by the Grantor of the Collateral pledged by it pursuant to this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance hereof by the Grantor, except for the perfection or maintenance of the Liens created under this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement

(including the first priority nature thereof, subject to Permitted Encumbrances having priority by operation of law) and such consents which have been obtained or made prior to the date hereof and are in full force and effect. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if the Collateral Agent desires to exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other Person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, the Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Collateral Agent to obtain as soon as commercially practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.

SECTION 4.5 Collateral. All information set forth herein, including the schedules annexed hereto, and all information contained in any documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to any Secured Party in connection with this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement, in each case, relating to the Collateral, is accurate and complete in all material respects. The Collateral described on the schedules annexed hereto constitutes all of the property of such type of Collateral owned or held by the Grantor.

SECTION 4.6 Insurance(c) . The Grantor shall (a) maintain or shall cause to be maintained such insurance as is required pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement; (b) maintain such other insurance as may be required by applicable Law; and (c) furnish to the Collateral Agent, upon written request, full information as to the insurance carried. The Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as the Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact), exercisable only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of the Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of the Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that the Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantor hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.6, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantor to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 4.7 Payment of Taxes; Compliance with Laws; Contested Liens; Claims(d) . The Grantor represents and warrants that all Claims imposed upon or assessed against the Collateral have been paid and discharged except to the extent such Claims constitute a Lien not yet due and payable or a Permitted Encumbrance. The Grantor shall comply with all applicable Law relating to the Collateral the failure to comply with which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Grantor may at its own expense contest the validity, amount or applicability of any Claims so long as the contest thereof shall be conducted in accordance with, and permitted pursuant to

the provisions of, the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.7, no contest of any such obligation may be pursued by the Grantor if such contest would expose the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to (a) any possible criminal liability or (b) any additional civil liability for failure to comply with such obligations unless the Grantor shall have furnished a bond or other security therefor satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, as the case may be.

ARTICLE V

The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such Person as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Collateral payable by such Person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantor, and the Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by 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. 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. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the 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, assigned or licensed 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.

SECTION 5.2 Notice of Sale. The Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by applicable Law and unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Collateral Agent shall provide the Grantor such advance notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), 10 days’ prior notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No

notification need be given to the Grantor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying (as permitted under Law) any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

SECTION 5.3 Waiver of Notice and Claims(e) . The Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which the Grantor would otherwise have under law, and the Grantor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law: (a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (b) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (c) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable Law. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article V in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under the Grantor.

SECTION 5.4 Certain Sales of Collateral.

(a) The Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. The Grantor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable Law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

SECTION 5.5 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(b) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case, the Grantor, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 5.6 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement, in accordance with and as set forth in Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 5.7 Third Party Agreements. Pursuant to the Collateral Access Agreements (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement), the Collateral Agent has the right to give notice to certain Persons who are parties thereto or recipients thereof. With respect to each Collateral Access Agreement (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement), the Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not deliver any notice to such Persons in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement, this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents until after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Grantor in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof. Neither the provisions of this Section 6.2 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Related Real Estate Collateral Security Agreement nor any breach of warranty from constituting an Event of Default. The Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes hereof.

(ii) At such time as any of the foregoing contained Sections 6.5(a), 6.5(b)(i) and 6.5(b)(ii) hereof, upon the Borrower’s written request and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantor, the Collateral Agent will (A) assign, transfer and deliver to the Grantor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent, such of the Collateral to be released (in the case of a release) or all of the Collateral (in the case of the satisfaction of Sections 6.5(a), 6.5(b)(i) and 6.5(b)(ii) hereof) as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (B) with respect to any other Collateral, authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements and other documents (including UCC termination statements or releases) to terminate such security interests.

Exhibit Q
to the Credit Agreement

MODIFIED DUTCH AUCTION PROCEDURES

This Outline is intended to summarize certain basic terms of the modified Dutch auction procedures pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 9.04(k) of the Credit Agreement, of which this Exhibit Q is a part (the “Auction Procedures”). It is not intended to be a definitive statement of all of the terms and conditions of a modified Dutch auction, the definitive terms and conditions for which shall be set forth in the applicable auction procedures set for each Auction (the “Auction Documents”). None of the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager and any other Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates, makes any recommendation pursuant to the Auction Documents as to whether or not any Lender should sell its Loans to Borrower (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to the Auction Documents, nor shall the decision by the Administrative Agent, the Auction Manager or any other Agent (or any of their Affiliates) in its capacity as a Lender be deemed to constitute such a recommendation. Each Lender should make its own decision on whether to sell any of its Loans and, if it decides to do so, the principal amount of and price to be sought for such Loans. In addition, each Lender should consult its own attorney, business advisor or tax advisor as to legal, business, tax and related matters concerning this Auction and the Auction Documents. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Exhibit have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

Summary. The Purchaser may conduct one or more modified Dutch auctions in order to purchase Loans (each, an “Auction”) pursuant to the procedures described herein.

Notice Procedures. In connection with each Auction, the Purchaser will provide notification to the Auction Manager (for distribution to the Lenders) of the Loans substantially in the form of Annex A to this Exhibit Q that will be the subject of the Auction (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall contain (i) the maximum principal amount of Loans that the Purchaser is willing to purchase in the Auction (the “Auction Amount”), which shall be no less than $[ ] or an integral multiple of $[ ] in excess thereof; (ii) the range of discounts to par (the “Discount Range”), expressed as a range of prices per $1,000 (in increments of $5), at which the Purchaser would be willing to purchase Loans in the Auction; and (iii) the date on which the Auction will conclude, on which date Return Bids (as defined below) will be due by [1:00 p.m. New York time], as such date and time may be extended (such time, the “Expiration Time”) for a period not exceeding three Business Days upon notice by the Purchaser to the Auction Manager received not less than 24 hours before the original Expiration Time; provided, however, that only one extension per auction shall be permitted. An Auction shall be regarded as a “Failed Auction” in the event that either (x) Purchaser withdraws such Auction in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) the Expiration Time occurs with no Qualifying Bids having been received. In the event of a Failed Auction, Purchaser shall not be permitted to deliver a new Auction Notice prior to the date occurring five (5) Business Days after such withdrawal or Expiration Time, as the case may be.

Reply Procedures. In connection with any Auction, each Lender holding Loans wishing to participate in such Auction shall, prior to the Expiration Time, provide the Auction Manager

Q-2

with a notice of participation substantially in the form of Annex B to this Exhibit Q (the “Return Bid”) which shall specify (i) a discount to par expressed as a price per $1,000 (in increments of $5) of Loans (the “Reply Price”) within the Discount Range and (ii) the principal amount of Loans, in an amount not less than [$1,000,000] or an integral multiple in excess thereof, that such Lender is willing to offer for sale at its Reply Price (the “Reply Amount”); provided, that Lender may submit a Reply Amount that is less than the minimum amount and/or incremental amount requirements described above only if the Reply Amount comprises the entire amount of Loans held by such Lender. Lenders may only submit one Return Bid per Auction but each Return Bid may contain up to [three] component bids, each of which may result in a separate Qualifying Bid (as defined below) and each of which will not be contingent on any other component bid submitted by such Lender resulting in a Qualifying Bid. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Lender must execute and deliver, to be held by the Auction Manager, a Borrower Assignment and Acceptance. The Purchaser will not purchase any Loans at a price that is outside of the applicable Discount Range, nor will any Return Bids (including any component bids specified therein) submitted at a price that is outside such applicable Discount Range be considered in any calculation of the Applicable Threshold Price (as defined below).

Acceptance Procedures. Based on the Reply Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Auction Manager, the Auction Manager, in consultation with the Purchaser, will calculate the lowest purchase price (the “Applicable Threshold Price”) for the Auction within the Discount Range for the Auction that will allow the Purchaser to complete the Auction by purchasing the full Auction Amount (or such lesser amount of Loans for which the Purchaser has received Qualifying Bids (as defined below)). The Purchaser shall purchase Loans from each Lender whose Return Bid is within the Discount Range and contains a Reply Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable Threshold Price (each, a “Qualifying Bid”). All Loans included in Qualifying Bids (including multiple component Qualifying Bids contained in a single Return Bid) received at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the applicable Reply Price and shall not be subject to proration unless the aggregate principal amount of all such Loans at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the Auction Amount.

Proration Procedures. All Loans offered in Return Bids (or, if applicable, any component bid thereof) constituting Qualifying Bids at the Applicable Threshold Price will be purchased at the Applicable Threshold Price; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of all Loans for which Qualifying Bids have been submitted in any given Auction at the Applicable Threshold Price would exceed the remaining portion of the Auction Amount (if any, after deducting all Loans to be purchased at a Reply Price lower than the Applicable Threshold Price), the Purchaser shall purchase the Loans for which the Qualifying Bids submitted were at the Applicable Threshold Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts offered and in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to complete the purchase of the Auction Amount. No Return Bids (or any component thereof) will be accepted above the Applicable Threshold Price.

Notification Procedures. Auction Manager will calculate the Applicable Threshold Price and post the Applicable Threshold Price and proration factor(s) onto an internet site (including an IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other electronic workspace) in accordance with the Auction Manager’s standard dissemination practices by [4:00 p.m. New York time] on the same

ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT

1. Representations and Warranties.

1.1 Assignor. The Assignor (a) represents and warrants that (i) it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Assigned Interest, (ii) the Assigned Interest is free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim, (iii) its Commitment and the outstanding balances of its Loans, without giving effect to assignments thereof that have not become effective, are as set forth in this Assignment and (iv) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Assignment and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) except as set forth in clause (a) above, makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to (i) any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement, (ii) the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document delivered pursuant thereto, other than this Assignment (herein, collectively, the “Loan Documents”), (iii) the financial condition of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) the performance or observance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any of their respective obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (c) has read and agrees to all the terms and conditions (including the proration procedures) of the Auction Procedures set forth in the Auction Documents. The Assignor acknowledges that (i) the Borrower currently may have information regarding the Loan Parties, their ability to perform their Obligations or any other matter that may be material to a decision by such Assignor to participate in this Assignment and that has not previously been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and such Assignor (“Excluded Information”), (ii) the Excluded Information may not be available to it, the Administrative Agent or the Assignor and (iii) it has independently and without reliance on any other party made its own analysis and determined to participate in this Assignment notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information.

Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement and (ii) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender; and (c) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Following repurchase by the Borrower pursuant to this Assignment, the Assigned Interest shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower), for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. In connection with the Assigned Interest, the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.

2. Payments. Payment to the Assignor by the Assignee in respect of the settlement of the assignment of the Assigned Interest shall be paid by Assignee directly to the Assignor and shall include all unpaid interest that has accrued in respect of the Assigned Interest through the Borrower Assignment Effective Date. No interest shall accrue with respect to the Assigned Interest from and after the Borrower Assignment Effective Date and such Assigned Interest shall, from and after the Borrower Assignment Effective Date, and without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding.

3. General Provisions. This Assignment shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Assignment may be executed in any number of counterparts, which together shall constitute one instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Assignment by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Assignment.
