Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be subject to mandatory prepayment under this clause (ii): (1) asset disposition proceeds that are reinvested in similar assets within one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt thereof; provided that (x) if such proceeds exceed $500,000 for any one disposition, such Borrower notifies Agent of its intent to reinvest at the time such proceeds are received and when such reinvestment occurs, (y) no Event of Default exists from and including the date of such disposition through and including the date of such reinvestment (and upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, Agent may automatically, or Borrowers shall at the instruction of the Agent, apply any such proceeds to prepayment of the Loans) and (z) at all times prior to such reinvestment such proceeds shall be deposited in a Bank Account (except to the extent the Agent, in its discretion, requires such Borrower to deposit such amounts in a blocked account); and (2) asset disposition proceeds invested in a Borrower and used to pay off such Borrower’s obligations arising under the terms of the Bridge Loan and to terminate any commitments arising thereunder. To the extent such funds are placed in a blocked account, they shall be made available to such Borrower to reinvest in similar assets upon any written request by such Borrower for the release of funds necessary for such reinvestment, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such request. To the extent (x) not used to reinvest in similar assets, or (y) if any Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, such asset disposition proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c).

(iii) If any Borrower issues Stock after the Closing Date or Indebtedness for borrowed money (whether or not permitted pursuant to this Agreement), such Borrower shall promptly (but in no event later than the second Business Day following the date of receipt of the proceeds thereof) prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs, fees and expenses paid in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.2(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be subject to prepayment under this clause (iii): (1) proceeds of Stock used to fund Permitted Acquisitions; (2) proceeds of the issuance of additional Indebtedness under this Agreement; (3) proceeds of any Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(a); and (4) proceeds of Stock issued for the purpose of paying off the Borrowers’ obligations arising under the terms of the Bridge Loan, provided that, as to any of the above, (x) Borrower notifies Agent of its intent to issue any such Stock, if applicable, and (y) no Event of Default exists at the time of receipt of such proceeds (and at all times prior to such permitted use, such proceeds shall be deposited into a Bank Account) and, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Agent may automatically, or Borrowers shall at the instruction of the Agent, apply any such proceeds to prepayment of the Loans).

(c) Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment made on the Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to Fees and reimbursable expenses (previously documented for the Borrowers) of Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to interest then due and payable on the Loan, ratably; and third, to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan until the same has been paid in full. The Commitments shall be permanently reduced by the amount of any such prepayments (other than such payments under clause (b)(i) above). Agent may charge Borrowers a wire fee for any prepayment hereunder.

(d) No Implied Consent. Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall be construed to constitute Agent’s or any Lender’s consent to any transaction that is not permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

2.3 Use of Proceeds.

The Borrowers shall utilize the proceeds of the Loans as set forth in Recital A. Disclosure Schedule (2.3) contains a description of the Borrowers’ sources and uses of funds as of the Closing Date, including the Advance to be made or incurred on that date, and a funds flow memorandum detailing how funds from each source are to be transferred to particular uses.

2.4 Interest and Applicable Margins.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay interest to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders in accordance with the various Loans being made by each Lender, in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date, at the following rates: (i) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin per annum, or (ii) at the election of the Borrowers, the applicable LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin per annum.

(b) The Applicable Margins shall be established by reference to the following Levels of Applicable Margins set forth below:


If Qualified Retail RMR
Leverage Ratio is:		Level of Applicable Margins:
£ 18.0x		Level I
> 18.0x but £ 20.0x		Level II
> 20.0x but £ 22.0x		Level III
> 22.0x but £ 24.0x		Level IV
> 24.0x but £ 25.0x		Level V
> 25.0x but £ 26.0x		Level VI

The Applicable Margins shall be as follows:


	Level I			Level II			Level III			Level IV			Level V			Level VI
Applicable Base Rate Margin		1.50	%		2.00	%		2.50	%		3.00	%		3.75	%		4.25	%
Applicable LIBOR Margin		3.25	%		3.25	%		3.75	%		4.25	%		5.25	%		5.75	%

From the Closing Date until the first adjustment as described below, the Applicable Margins shall be set at Level VI. The Applicable Margins shall be adjusted monthly and retroactively effective as of the first day of a calendar month based upon the information set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate for the prior month. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any reduction in the Applicable Margins is to be implemented, that reduction shall be deferred until the first day following the date on which such Event of Default is waived or cured.

(c) If any payment on any Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except as set forth in the definition of LIBOR Period) and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. The foregoing shall not be given effect, however, in respect of the calculation of Financial Covenants relating to scheduled principal payments.

(d) All computations of Fees calculated on a per annum basis and interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be made by Agent on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable. All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by Agent on the basis of a 365/366-day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest and Fees are payable. The Base Rate is a floating rate determined for each day. Each determination by Agent of interest rates and Fees hereunder shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the correctness of such rates and Fees.

(e) So long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under Section 10.1(a), (h) or (i), the interest rates applicable to the Loans shall be increased by four percentage points (4%) per annum, and so long as any other Event of Default (except under Section 10.1(a) to the extent the following sentence shall apply) has occurred and is continuing and at the election of Requisite Lenders confirmed by written notice from Agent to the Borrowers, the interest rates applicable to the Loans shall be increased by two percentage points (2%) per annum, above the rates of interest otherwise applicable hereunder unless Agent or Requisite Lenders elect to impose a smaller increase (the “Default Rate”), and all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate applicable to such Obligations. Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the initial date of the applicable Event of Default until that Event of Default is cured or waived and shall be payable upon demand.

(f) Subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.2, the Borrowers shall have the option to (i) request that any Advance be made as a LIBOR Loan, (ii) convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Loans from Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans, (iii) convert any LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan, subject to payment of LIBOR breakage costs in accordance with Section 2.10(b) if such conversion is made prior to the expiration of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, or (iv) continue all or any portion of any Loan as a LIBOR Loan upon the expiration of the applicable LIBOR Period and the succeeding LIBOR Period of that continued Loan shall commence on the first day after the last day of the LIBOR Period of the Loan to be continued. Any Loan or group of Loans having the same proposed LIBOR Period to be made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan must be in a minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of such amount. Any such election must

be made by noon (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to (1) the date of any proposed Advance which is to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, (2) the end of each LIBOR Period with respect to any LIBOR Loans to be continued as such, or (3) the date on which the Borrowers wish to convert any Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan for a LIBOR Period designated by the Borrowers in such election. If no election is received with respect to a LIBOR Loan by noon (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the end of the LIBOR Period with respect thereto (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or the additional conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 shall not have been satisfied), that LIBOR Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of its LIBOR Period. The Borrowers must make such election by notice to Agent in writing, by telecopy or overnight courier. In the case of any conversion or continuation, such election must be made pursuant to a written notice (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) in the form of Exhibit 2.4(f).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.4, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final order that the rate of interest payable hereunder exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall exceed any such Maximum Lawful Rate, then, the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit, and, if Borrowers shall have paid interest or any other charges of any kind which might be deemed to be interest under applicable law in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, then such excess shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and charges hereunder, then to unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers hereunder, and if the then remaining excess interest is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Agent shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 2.4(g) shall control to the extent any other provision of any Loan Document is inconsistent herewith.

2.5 Cash Management Systems.

Each Borrower will maintain until the Termination Date, the cash management systems described below (the “Cash Management Systems”).

(a) Each Borrower shall (i) maintain all of it deposit and other bank accounts (“Bank Accounts”) at the banks set forth in Disclosure Schedule (4.19), and (ii) deposit and cause all of its Subsidiaries to deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the third Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all cash, checks, drafts or other similar items of payment relating to or constituting payments made in respect of any and all Collateral into one or more such Bank Accounts in a Borrower’s name or any such Subsidiary’s name and at a bank identified in Disclosure Schedule (4.19) (each, a “Relationship Bank”).

(b) As of the Closing Date, each Relationship Bank shall have entered into an Account Control Agreement with Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, and the applicable

Borrower, governing all Bank Accounts with such Relationship Bank. As of the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall maintain one or more lockbox accounts (individually and collectively, the “Lockbox Account”) with one or more banks acceptable to Agent (each, a “Lockbox Bank”), and shall execute with each Lockbox Bank one or more agreements acceptable to Agent (individually and collectively, the “Lockbox Agreement”), and such other agreements related thereto as Agent may require. Borrowers shall ensure that all collections of Borrowers’ Accounts and all other cash payments received by Borrowers are paid and delivered directly from Account Debtors and other Persons into the appropriate Lockbox Account. The Lockbox Agreements shall provide that upon receipt of written notice from Agent the Lockbox Banks immediately will transfer all funds paid into the Lockbox Accounts into a depository account or accounts (specified in the Lockbox Agreement or to be specified in such written notice) maintained by Agent or an Affiliate of Agent at such bank as Agent may communicate to Borrower from time to time (the “Concentration Account”). Notwithstanding and without limiting any other provision of any Loan Document, Agent shall apply, on a daily basis, all funds transferred into the Concentration Account pursuant to the Lockbox Agreement and this Section 2.5(b) in such order and manner as determined by Agent. Except to the extent applied to reduce the obligations under the Bridge Loan and related Bridge Loan Documents, all funds transferred to the Concentration Account for application to the Obligations under this Agreement shall be applied to reduce the Obligations under this Agreement. If as the result of collections of Accounts and/or any other cash payments received by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) a credit balance exists with respect to the Concentration Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of a Borrower, but shall be available to Borrowers upon Borrowers’ written request. If applicable, at any time prior to the execution of all or any of the Lockbox Agreements and operation of all or any of the Lockbox Accounts, Borrowers and each Affiliate of a Borrower shall direct all collections or proceeds it receives on Accounts or from other Collateral to the account(s) and in the manner specified by Agent in its sole discretion.

(c) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may amend Disclosure Schedule (4.19) to add or replace a Relationship Bank or Bank Account; provided, that prior to the time of the opening of such account, any Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and such bank shall have executed and delivered to Agent an Account Control Agreement and a Lockbox Agreement. Each Borrower shall close any of its accounts (and establish replacement accounts in accordance with the foregoing sentence) promptly and in any event within sixty (60) days following notice from Agent that the creditworthiness of any bank holding an account is no longer acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment, or as promptly as practicable and in any event within ninety (90) days following notice from Agent that the operating performance, funds transfer or availability procedures or performance with respect to accounts of the bank holding such accounts or Agent’s liability under any Account Control Agreement with such bank is no longer acceptable in Agent’s reasonable judgment.

(d) The Bank Accounts shall be cash collateral accounts, with all cash, checks and other similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Loans and all other Obligations, and in which each Borrower and each Subsidiary thereof shall have granted a Lien to Agent, on behalf of itself and Lenders, pursuant to the Security Agreement.

(e) Each Borrower shall and shall cause its Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, directors or other Persons acting for or in concert with Borrower (each a “Related

Person”) to (i) hold in trust for Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders all checks, cash and other items of payment received by such Borrower or any such Related Person in respect of such Borrower or any of the Collateral, and (ii) within five (5) Business Day after receipt by such Borrower or any such Related Person of any such checks, cash or other items of payment, deposit the same into a Lockbox Account. Each Borrower on behalf of itself and each Related Person acknowledges and agrees that all cash, checks or other items of payment constituting proceeds of Collateral are part of the Collateral. All proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral not paid directly to the Agent shall be deposited directly into a Lockbox Account.

(f) Each Bank Account shall at all times be subject to an Account Control Agreement and each Lockbox Account shall at all times be subject to a Lockbox Agreement.

2.6 Fees.

(a) On the Closing Date, as additional compensation, the Borrowers shall pay to Agent solely for Agent’s benefit a commitment fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) As additional compensation for the Lenders, the Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable (as may be adjusted to reflect the revision of Commitments during any Fiscal Quarter as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.15 hereof) benefit of Lenders, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month prior to the Commitment Termination Date for the immediately preceding month, commencing with the month ending on November 30, 2005 (which first payment shall cover the period from the Closing Date to such date), and on the Commitment Termination Date, an unused commitment fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter (the “Unused Line Fee”) for the Borrowers’ non-use of available funds.

(c) In the event the Agent and the Requisite Lenders approve a Commitment Increase, the Borrowers agree to pay to Agent solely for Agent’s benefit, as additional compensation, an additional commitment fee in the amount set forth in the Fee Letter (the “Additional Commitment Fee”), which additional fee shall be due and payable at the time Agent notifies the Borrowers in writing that sufficient Increase Lenders have committed to funding such Commitment Increase.

(d) In the event Borrowers terminate the Commitments prior to the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers shall pay the applicable Termination Fee in accordance with Section 2.2(a).

2.7 Receipt of Payments.

The Borrowers shall make each payment under this Agreement not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds in Dollars to the Collection Account. For purposes of computing interest and Fees and determining Borrowing Availability as of any date, all payments shall be deemed received on the Business Day on which immediately available funds therefor are received in the Collection Account prior to 2:00 p.m. New York time. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. New York time on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall for such purposes be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

2.8 Application and Allocation of Payments.

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (i) payments matching specific scheduled payments then due shall be applied to those scheduled payments; (ii) voluntary prepayments shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(a); and (iii) mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and 2.2(c), as applicable. All payments and prepayments applied to a particular Loan shall be applied ratably to the portion thereof held by each Lender as determined by its Pro Rata Share. As to any other payment, and as to all payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following the Termination Date, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by Agent in the Loan Account or any other books and records or anything in this Agreement to the contrary. In the absence of a specific determination by Agent with respect thereto, payments shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order: (1) to Agent’s and any Lender’s expenses reimbursable hereunder (including, without limitation, to the extent reimbursable under Section 13.3); (2) to any outstanding Fees; (3) to interest on Base Rate Loans; (4) to interest on LIBOR Loans, ratably in the order of maturity; (5) to all then outstanding obligations under any interest rate cap, swap or collar agreements, or other agreements or arrangements secured by the Loan Documents designed to provide protection against fluctuations in interest rates permitted hereunder, to the extent the amount owed corresponds to interest on the notional amount thereof; (6) to the principal amount of the Loan and all other outstanding Obligations; and (7) to all other outstanding obligations under any interest rate cap, swap or collar agreements, or other agreements or arrangements secured by the Loan Documents designed to provide protection against fluctuations in interest rates permitted hereunder.

(b) Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Loan balance on behalf of the Borrowers and cause to be paid all Fees, expenses, Taxes, Charges, costs (including insurance premiums in accordance with Section 6.4(a)) and interest and principal, other than principal of the Loan, owing by the Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if and to the extent the Borrowers fail to pay promptly any such amounts as and when due, after receipt of notice from Agent, even if the amount of such charges would exceed Borrowing Availability at such time. At Agent’s option and to the extent permitted by law, any charges so made shall constitute part of the Loan hereunder.

2.9 Loan Account and Accounting.

Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record: all Advances, all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loans or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to Agent and Lenders by the Borrowers; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise

affect the Borrowers’ duty to pay the Obligations. Upon request (but not more frequently than monthly), Agent shall render to the Borrowers a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Loans setting forth the balance of the Loan Account for the immediately preceding month. Unless the Borrowers notify Agent in writing of any objection to any such accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection), within fifteen (15) days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall be presumptive evidence of all matters reflected therein. Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, any Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance of any Notes to that Lender and may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it.

2.10 Indemnity.

(a) Each Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless each of Agent, Lenders and their respective Affiliates, and each such Person’s respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable in-house and external attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as the result of the execution, delivery and/or performance of the Loan Documents, credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the administration of such credit, and in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder and any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, including any and all Environmental Liabilities and legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that no such Borrower shall be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent that any such suit, action, proceeding, claim, damage, loss, liability or expense results from that Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

(b) To induce Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate option on the terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Loans are repaid in whole or in part prior to the last day of any applicable LIBOR Period (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or occurs as a result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) the Borrowers shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan; (iii) the Borrowers shall refuse to accept any borrowing of, or shall request a termination of any borrowing, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after

the Borrowers have given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith; or (iv) the Borrowers shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after the Borrowers have given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then the Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing. Such indemnification shall include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained. For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant LIBOR Period; provided, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the any Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. As promptly as practicable under the circumstances, each Lender shall provide the Borrowers with its written calculation in reasonable detail of all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(b), and such calculation shall be binding on the parties hereto unless the Borrowers shall object in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt thereof, specifying the basis for such objection in detail.

2.11 Access.

Each Borrower that is a party hereto shall, during normal business hours, from time to time not more than four times in any year, at Borrower’s expense, except if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case no such notice shall be required: (a) provide Agent and any of its officers, employees and agents access to its properties, facilities, advisors, officers and employees, books, records, contracts and Accounts of each Borrower and to the Collateral (provided that access to officers, employees and agents shall be provided promptly, but in no event upon more than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice), (b) permit Agent, and any of its officers, employees, designees and agents, to inspect, audit and make extracts from any Borrower’s books and records, contracts and Accounts, and (c) permit Agent, and its officers, employees, designees and agents, to inspect, review, evaluate and make test verifications and counts of the contracts, Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral of any Borrower. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Borrower shall provide such access to Agent and to each Lender (and their respective agents and designees) during normal business hours without advance notice. Furthermore, so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers shall provide Agent and each Lender with access to its suppliers and Subscribers. Lenders agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate all such access with those of Agent and Agent and Lenders shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Borrowers copies of any written correspondence with Subscribers, provided that no liability shall accrue to the Agent or any Lender for failure to deliver any such correspondence to the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall make available to Agent and its counsel, reasonably promptly, originals or copies of all books, records, contracts and Accounts that Agent may reasonably request. Each Borrower shall deliver any document or instrument necessary for Agent, as it may from time to time reasonably request, to obtain records from any storage facility, bailee, service bureau or other Person that maintains records for such Borrower.

2.12 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder or under any Note shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.12, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes. If the Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under the any Note, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12), Agent or Lenders, as applicable, shall receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law (except for any Indemnified Taxes or other liabilities that the Borrowers are contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings). Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, to the extent such a receipt has been issued therefor, or such other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(b) Each Borrower that is a signatory hereto shall indemnify and, within thirty (30) days of written demand therefor, pay Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.12) paid by Agent or such Lender, as appropriate, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Agent and such Lender, as applicable, shall include with any such written demand a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of any such payment or indemnity hereunder, which statement shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof.

(c) On or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender that is listed on the signature pages of this Agreement, and on or prior to the date of the assignment pursuant to Section 11.1 pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so):

(i) each Lender that is a Non-Corporate Domestic Lender shall provide to the Borrowers (with a copy to Agent) an original IRS Form W-9, or any successor or other form prescribed by the IRS, properly completed and duly executed under penalties of perjury; and

(ii) each Lender that is a Foreign Lender shall provide to the Borrowers (with a copy to Agent) either:

(A) an original IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the IRS, properly completed and duly executed

under penalties of perjury, certifying that such Lender is entitled to a zero (0) rate of United States withholding tax on payments made pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes,

(B) an original IRS Form W-8ECI, or any successor other form prescribed by the IRS, properly completed and duly executed under penalties of perjury, certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding tax on payments made pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes, or

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Code Section 881(c), a certificate, duly executed under penalties of perjury, that it is not (I) a “bank” (within the meaning of Code Section 881(c)(3)(A)), (II) a “ten percent shareholder” (within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B)) of any Borrower, or (III) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower (within the meaning of the Code Section 864(d)(4)), and an original IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the IRS, properly completed and duly executed under penalties of perjury, certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding tax on payments made pursuant to this Agreement or any Notes.

Each Lender shall deliver such new forms and documents prescribed by the IRS upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms or other documents referred to in this Section 2.12(c) or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms or other documents delivered by such Lender. Such Lender shall promptly provide written notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to Agent) at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or other document (or any other form of certification adopted by the IRS for such purpose).

(d) No Default. In no event shall any withholding by any Borrower, as contemplated by this Section 2.12, on any payment under this Agreement or any Note give rise to a Default under Section 10.1.

(e) Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that it shall, to the extent reasonable and without any additional cost (other than costs which the Borrowers have paid to such Lender, unless waived by the Lender) or risk to it, (i) take all actions reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent to maintain all exemptions, if any, available to it from United States withholding tax (whether available by treaty, statute, or existing administrative waiver), and (ii) otherwise cooperate with the Borrowers to minimize any amounts payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.12.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it is entitled to receive a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by offset) of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that would reasonably be considered allocable to or resulting from any increase in the amounts paid by the Borrowers or any indemnification by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the availability of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a request from the Borrowers at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, apply for such refund with the Borrowers being responsible for any incremental costs associated with such refund request. If Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund (as described in the

preceding sentence), it shall pay to the Borrowers, within thirty (30) days from the date of such receipt, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of Agent or such Lender to the Borrowers, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

2.13 Capital Adequacy; Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a) If any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law), in each case, adopted or made after the Closing Date, from any central bank or other Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Lender and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, then the Borrowers shall from time to time promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent) pay to Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any such additional amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of the change in law giving rise to such additional amount; provided further, that if the change resulting in such increased costs is retroactive, then such six month period shall be extended to include the retroactive period. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing in reasonable detail the basis of the computation thereof submitted by such Lender to the Borrowers and to Agent shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein.

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) or (ii) the compliance with any published guideline from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) applicable generally to banks or any class of banks within the same jurisdiction (but not any guideline specifically required of a single bank), in each case adopted or made after the Closing Date, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Loan (other than any such increase in cost resulting from (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern), (B) the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender, or (C) changes reflected in the LIBOR Rate) then Borrowers shall from time to time promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to Agent), pay to Agent promptly for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to

this Section for any such additional amount incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of the change in law giving rise to such additional amount; provided further, that if the change resulting in such increased costs is retroactive, then such six (6) month period shall be extended to include the retroactive period. A certificate showing in reasonable detail the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Borrowers and to Agent by such Lender, shall be presumptive evidence of the matters set forth therein. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstances referred to above which would result in any such increased cost, the affected Lender shall, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.13(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) after the date hereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert after the date hereof that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s reasonable opinion, materially adversely affecting it or its Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to Borrowers through Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans shall terminate and (ii) Borrowers shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Loans owing to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless Borrowers, within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, converts all LIBOR Loans of such Lender into Base Rate Loans.

(d) Within sixty (60) days after receipt by Borrowers of written notice and demand from any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) for payment of additional amounts or increased costs as provided in Sections 2.12(a), 2.12(b), 2.13(a) or 2.13(b), Borrowers may, at its option, notify Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to replace the Affected Lender. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers, with the consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may obtain, at the Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for the Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender must be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. If the Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender within one hundred eighty (180) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender must sell and assign its Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Affected Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale and such assignment shall not require the payment of an assignment fee to Agent; provided, that Borrowers shall have reimbursed such Affected Lender for the additional amounts or increased costs that it is entitled to receive under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not have the right to obtain a Replacement Lender if the Affected Lender rescinds its demand for increased costs or additional amounts with in fifteen (15) days following its receipt of the Borrowers’ notice of intention to replace such Affected Lender. Furthermore, if the Borrowers give a notice of intention to replace and does not so replace such Affected Lender within one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, the Borrowers’ rights under this Section 2.13(d) shall terminate with respect to such

Affected Lender in respect of the circumstances giving rise to such notice of termination, and the Borrowers shall promptly pay all increased costs or additional amounts demanded by such Affected Lender pursuant to Sections 2.12(a), 2.12(b), 2.13(a) and 2.13(b).

(e) If Lender requests payment of additional amounts or increased costs as provided in Sections 2.12(a), 2.12(b), 2.13(a) or 2.13(b), then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce the additional amounts or increased costs payable pursuant to Sections 2.12(a), 2.12(b), 2.13(a) or 2.13(b), as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender or otherwise be prohibited by applicable law. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.14 Single Loan. All Loans, including all Advances, to Borrowers, and all of the other Obligations of the Borrowers arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall constitute one general joint and several obligation of Borrowers secured, until the Termination Date, by all of the Collateral.

2.15 Uncommitted Incremental Commitment Increase. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, prior to the Commitment Termination Date, the total aggregate Commitment may be increased at the request of the Borrowers and with the prior written consent of the Agent (each such increase being the “Commitment Increase”), provided that the aggregate total of all Commitment Increases shall never exceed $30,000,000 and the total aggregate of all Lenders’ Commitments shall never exceed $100,000,000. The Borrowers may request no more than three (3) Commitment Increases, with a minimum of $10,000,000 (or increments of $2,500,000 in excess thereof) for such request and shall pay to Agent the Additional Commitment Fee in accordance with Section 2.6(c). A Commitment Increase shall be effectuated pursuant to the following procedures:

(a) Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of a Commitment Increase, the Borrowers shall notify the Agent in writing of its request for a Commitment Increase (an “Increase Request”), including the intended date and amount thereto. All other terms and conditions applicable to such Commitment Increase shall be the same as applicable to the Commitment in general. Such Increase Request shall be accompanied by (i) a certificate from the Borrowers certifying to the Agent that (A) no other approvals or consents from any Person are required by any such Person except to the extent they have been received, including without limitation, any other Indebtedness permitted to exist in accordance with the terms of Section 7.3 or otherwise and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) financial projections in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent and demonstrating compliance with the Financial Covenants throughout the term of this Agreement after giving effect to the Commitment Increase.

(b) Upon receipt of such Increase Request and the other information required by subsection (a) above, the Agent and the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion shall

determine whether to consent to such an increase. The Agent shall promptly notify existing Lenders of such request by the Borrowers and each such Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days in which to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s approval or rejection of the Commitment Increase and intent to participate in such increase (each an “Existing Increase Lender”), and the amount of the Commitment Increase such Existing Increase Lender is willing to commit to (which amount shall be allocated to each Existing Increase Lender according to their existing Pro Rata Shares should there be an over-commitment) which notice shall be irrevocable once received by Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Agent be obligated to agree to any Commitment Increase nor shall any Lender be obligated to agree to or participate in any Commitment Increase. Participation in any such Commitment Increase shall be completely optional and at the sole discretion of each Lender. Agent’s failure to notify Borrowers of Agent’s and the Requisite Lenders decision with respect to a Commitment Increase within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the Increase Request and the information set forth in subsection (a) above shall be deemed a rejection of such Increase Request.

(c) To the extent that the entire Commitment Increase requested by the Borrowers and consented to by Agent and the Requisite Lenders is not accepted by Existing Increase Lenders, the Borrowers may propose to Agent additional new lenders acceptable to Agent and Requisite Lenders (“New Lenders”) who agree to commit to that portion of the Commitment Increase not accepted by Existing Increase Lenders. Thus, any Commitment Increase shall be effected by an increase in any one or more of the Existing Increase Lenders’ Commitments, and/or by the addition of the Commitments of New Lender(s) (in each case, the “Increase Lenders”).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, final allocation of the Commitment Increase shall be at the sole discretion of the Agent in consultation with Borrowers; and each Increase Lender shall commit to an amount not less than $5,000,000, but shall accept any allocation amount designated by the Borrowers and the Agent that is equal to or less than its proposed portion of the Commitment Increase.

2.16 Borrower Funds Administrator.

(a) The Borrowers maintain an integrated cash management system reflecting their interdependence on one another and the mutual benefits shared among them as a result of their respective operations. In order to efficiently fund and operate their respective businesses and minimize the number of borrowings which they will make under this Agreement and thereby reduce the administrative costs and record keeping required in connection therewith, including the necessity to enter into and maintain separately identified and monitored borrowing facilities, The Borrowers have requested, and Agent and Lenders have agreed that, subject to Section 2.17, all the Loans and all Advances will be advanced to and for the account of the Borrowers on a joint and several basis in accordance with the other provisions hereof. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that it will be receiving a direct benefit from each Loan made pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Each Borrower hereby designates, appoints, authorizes and empowers Holdings as its agent to act as specified in this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents and Holdings hereby acknowledges such designation, authorization and empowerment, and

accepts such appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Holdings to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any other instruments, documents and agreements referred to herein or therein, and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Holdings by the respective terms and provisions hereof and thereof, and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, without limitation, to take the following actions for and on such Borrower’s behalf:

(i) to submit on behalf of each Borrower Notices of Advances to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;

(ii) to receive on behalf of each Borrower the proceeds of Loan in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such proceeds to be disbursed to or for the account of the applicable Borrower as soon as practicable after its receipt thereof; and

(iii) to submit and receive on behalf of each Borrower, Compliance Certificates and all other certificates, notices and other communications given or required to be given hereunder.

Holdings is further authorized and directed by each Borrower to take all such actions on behalf of such Borrower necessary to exercise the specific power granted in clauses (i) through (iii) above and to perform such other duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and deliver such documents as delegated to or required of Holdings by the terms hereof or thereof. The agency relationship established pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) is for administrative convenience only and such agency relationship shall not extend to any matter outside the scope of the Loan Documents.

(c) The administration by the Agent and the Lenders of the credit facilities under this Agreement as a co-borrowing facility with a funds administrator in the manner set forth herein is solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and at their request and neither the Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to any Borrower as a result thereof.

(d) If the Borrowers intend at any time that a Borrower other than Holdings act as funds administrator for the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.16, all Borrowers shall notify the Agent in writing of such intent and, upon the written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), such newly appointed Borrower shall act in the capacity of funds administrator pursuant to this Section 2.16.

2.17 Acknowledgement of Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that it is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Borrowers are all affiliated entities by common ownership, (ii) each Borrower desires to have the availability of one common credit facility instead of separate credit facilities, (iii) each Borrower has requested that the Lenders extend such a common credit facility on the terms herein provided, (iv) the Lenders will be lending against, and relying on a lien upon, all of the each Borrower’s assets even though the proceeds of any particular loan made hereunder may not be advanced directly to a particular Borrower, (v) each Borrower will

nonetheless benefit by the making of all such loans by each Lender and the availability of a single credit facility of a size greater than each could independently warrant, (vi) all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in the Loan Documents shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon each Borrower (provided that no Borrower is deemed, by this statement, to have made any representation, warranty or covenant that is intended, by its terms to apply specifically to another Borrower or to the extent that such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date), and (vii) the Borrowers have each executed any Note as co-makers of such Note and that it would not be able to obtain the credit provided by the Lenders hereunder without the financial support provided by the other Borrowers.

(b) Each Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by Agent and/or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to Agent and/or any Lender, (iv) the failure by Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower, (v) Agent’s and/or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of Agent’s and/or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower (other than actual indefeasible payment in full in cash). With respect to any Borrower’s obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of Borrowers hereunder with respect to Advances made to or for any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which Agent and/or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, or any endorser of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to Agent and/or any Lender. During the existence of any Event of Default, Agent may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

(c) Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Advances made to or for

another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrowers making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (i) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (ii) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification, and reimbursement under this Section 2.17 shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 2.17 shall, to the extent inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

(d) If (i) any court holds that Borrowers are guarantors and not jointly and severally liable or (ii) bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings at any time are instituted by or against any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar debtor relief law, each Borrower hereby: (A) until indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, expressly and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent possible, on behalf of such Borrower, any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to indemnification, to set off or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, to a holder or transferee against a maker, or to the holder of a claim against any Person, and which such Borrower may have or hereafter acquire against any Person in connection with or as a result of such Borrower’s execution, delivery and/or performance of this Agreement, or any other documents to which such Borrower is a party or otherwise; (B) expressly and irrevocably waives any “claim” (as such term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code) of any kind against any other Borrower, and further agrees that it shall not have or assert any such rights against any Person (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted set off to any action commenced against such Borrower by Agent or a Lender or any other Person; and (C) acknowledges and agrees (I) that this waiver is intended to benefit Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Agreement, and (II) that Agent and Lenders and their successors and assigns are intended beneficiaries of this waiver, and agreements set forth in this Section 2.17 and their rights under this Section 2.17 shall survive payment in full of the Obligations.

(e) This Agreement shall in all respects be continuing, absolute and unconditional, and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each Borrower until all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly fully paid. No compromise, settlement, release or discharge of, or indulgence with respect to, or failure, neglect or omission to enforce or exercise

any right against, any one or more of the Borrowers shall release or discharge any other Borrowers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purpose of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (i) Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the six (6) month period ending November 30, 2005 shall be calculated as Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the one (1) month period ending November 30, 2005 multiplied by six, (ii) Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the six (6) month period ending December 31, 2005 shall be calculated as Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the two (2) month period ending December 31, 2005 multiplied by three, (iii) Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the six (6) month period ending January 31, 2006 shall be calculated as Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the three (3) month period ending January 31, 2006 multiplied by two, (iv) Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the six (6) month period ending February 28, 2006 shall be calculated as Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the four (4) month period ending February 28, 2006 multiplied by one and one-half and (v) Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the five (5) month period ending March 31, 2006 shall be calculated as Fixed Charges and EBITDA for the five (5) month period ending March 31, 2006 multiplied by one and two-tenths.

9.3 Maximum Capital Expenditures.

Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall not incur more than $1,500,000 of Capital Expenditures in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year (other than Capital Expenditures for Inventory installed pursuant to Alarm Contracts).

9.4 Maximum Attrition Ratio.

Holdings and its Subsidiaries shall maintain on a consolidated basis, at the end of each Fiscal Month, commencing with November 30, 2005, an Attrition Ratio of not greater than eleven percent (11%).

9.5 Accounting Changes.

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in the Agreement shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations hereunder shall be computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. That certain items or computations are explicitly modified by the phrase “in accordance with GAAP” shall in no way be construed to limit the foregoing. If any Accounting Changes (as defined below) occur and such changes result in a change in the calculation of the financial covenants, standards or terms used in the Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Borrowers, Agent and Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of the Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that

the criteria for evaluating the Borrowers’ and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made, provided, however, that the agreement of the Agent and the Requisite Lenders to any required amendments of such provisions shall be sufficient to bind all Lenders. “Accounting Changes” means (i) changes in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successor thereto or any agency with similar functions), (ii) changes in accounting principles concurred in by the Borrowers’ certified public accountants; and (iii) the reversal of any reserves established as a result of purchase accounting adjustments. All such adjustments resulting from expenditures made subsequent to the Closing Date (including capitalization of costs and expenses or payment of pre-Closing Date liabilities) shall be treated as expenses in the period the expenditures are made and deducted as part of the calculation of EBITDA in such period. If Agent, the Borrowers and Requisite Lenders agree upon the required amendments, then after appropriate amendments have been executed and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has been implemented, any reference to GAAP contained in the Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP, consistently applied after giving effect to the implementation of such Accounting Change. If Agent, the Borrowers and Requisite Lenders cannot agree upon the required amendments within thirty (30) days following the date of implementation of any Accounting Change, then all Financial Statements delivered and all calculations of financial covenants and other standards and terms in accordance with the Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be prepared, delivered and made without regard to the underlying Accounting Change.

10.2 Remedies.

(a) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may (and at the written request of the Requisite Lenders shall), without notice, suspend the Commitment with respect to additional Advances, whereupon any additional Advances shall be made or incurred in the sole discretion of the Requisite Lenders so long as such Event of Default is continuing. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no action permitted under Article 7 hereof may be taken unless approved by Agent in writing and Agent may (and at the written request of Requisite Lenders shall), without prior notice except as otherwise expressly provided herein, increase the rate of interest applicable to the Loans to the Default Rate; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 10.1(a), (h) or (i), the Default Rate shall immediately be applicable to the Loans. The Agent agrees to notify the Borrowers following an election as set forth above to apply the Default Rate to the Loans, provided that the Agent shall

have no liability to the Borrowers for any failure to provide such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Event of Default which gave rise to any suspension of the Commitment was as a result of an Event of Default arising under Section 10.1(a), no additional Advances shall be made or incurred following such suspension without the consent of all Lenders and Agent.

(b) If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may (and at the written request of the Requisite Lenders shall), without notice: (i) terminate the Commitment with respect to further Advances; (ii) reduce the Commitment from time to time; (iii) declare all or any portion of the Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of hedging obligations or interest rate swaps obligations permitted hereunder), including all or any portion of the Loan to be forthwith due and payable, all without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by all Borrowers; or (iv) exercise any rights and remedies provided to Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC; provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 10.1(h) or (i), the Commitments shall be immediately terminated and all of the Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of hedging obligations or interest rate swaps obligations permitted hereunder), including the Loan, shall become immediately due and payable without declaration, notice or demand by any Person.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or limiting in any way the rights of the Lenders and Agent under the Loan Documents or otherwise under applicable law, at any time, and from time to time, after the earliest to occur of (i) acceleration of the Loan, (ii) the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default specified in Sections 10.1(a), (e) (g), (h), (i) or (k), or (iii) thirty (30) days following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default not specified in Sections 10.1(a), (e), (g), (h), (i) or (k), the Agent shall be, whether such action is undertaken at its option or at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, entitled to apply for and have a receiver or receiver and manager appointed under state, or Federal law by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Agent or Lenders to enforce their rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in order to manage, protect, preserve, sell and otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of Borrowers, and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership, including the compensation of the receiver, and to the payment of any Note until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated. EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT TO OR OTHERWISE CONTEST THE APPOINTMENT OF A RECEIVER AS PROVIDED ABOVE. EACH BORROWER GRANTS SUCH WAIVER AND CONSENT KNOWINGLY AFTER HAVING DISCUSSED THE IMPLICATIONS THEREOF WITH COUNSEL, ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE UNCONTESTED RIGHT TO HAVE A RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR THE FOREGOING PURPOSES IS CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL BY LENDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ENFORCEMENT OF THEIR RIGHTS AND REMEDIES HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS, AND THE AVAILABILITY OF SUCH APPOINTMENT AS A REMEDY UNDER THE FOREGOING CIRCUMSTANCES WAS A MATERIAL FACTOR IN INDUCING LENDERS TO MAKE (AND COMMIT TO MAKE) THE LOANS TO THE BORROWERS, AND AGREES TO ENTER INTO ANY AND ALL STIPULATIONS IN ANY LEGAL ACTIONS, OR AGREEMENTS OR OTHER INSTRUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE

FOREGOING AND TO COOPERATE FULLY WITH THE AGENT AND LENDERS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ASSUMPTION AND EXERCISE OF CONTROL BY THE RECEIVER OVER ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE COLLATERAL.

10.3 Waivers by Borrowers.

Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or by applicable law, each Borrower waives: (a) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, default, all defenses, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which any Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent may reasonably do in this regard, (b) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s taking possession or control of, or to Agent’s replevy, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any of its remedies, and (c) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal, marshaling and exemption laws. For the purposes of clarity and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to this Agreement the Borrowers’ obligations are absolute and unconditional without any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense for any reason against Agent or any Lender.

10.4 Intercreditor Agreements; Lenders Benefit.

(a) Borrowers, Agent and Lenders acknowledge that, upon the exercise of any rights and remedies by CapitalSource as the Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents and as Lender under the Bridge Loan Documents (including, the exercise of rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral), all proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied first to satisfy the Bridge Loan and all other obligations of Borrowers arising under the Bridge Loan Documents before being applied to the Loan or Obligations. For so long as any such Bridge Loan obligations remain unsatisfied, any payments (including payments from any proceeds of Collateral) with respect to the Loans and other Obligations received by the Agent or any Lender at any time (i) after all of the Obligations have become immediately due and payable, with or without declaration, pursuant to Section 10.2, or (ii) when an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Bridge Loan Documents and the occurrence or omission constituting such event of default has not been cured or waived, shall be applied first to satisfy the Bridge Loan and all other obligations of Borrowers arising under the Bridge Loan Documents before being applied to the Loans or other Obligations. In the event that any Lender under this Agreement shall receive any proceeds of Collateral in contravention of this Agreement, the Lenders shall promptly so notify CapitalSource and shall segregate and hold in trust any such payment or distribution, which amounts shall be paid over promptly on demand to CapitalSource for its benefit as Lender under the Bridge Loan, for application to the payment of the Bridge Loan and other obligations of Borrowers arising under the Bridge Loan Documents until the same shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The Lenders hereby waive any claim they may now or hereafter have arising out of the Requisite Lenders election, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by any Borrower.

(b) The provisions of this Section 10.4 and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure solely to the benefit of the CapitalSource in its capacity as Lender under the Bridge Loan Documents and its respective successors and permitted assigns thereunder and no other Person (including any Borrower) shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits under this Section 10.4.

10.5 Rights to Appoint Receiver.

Without limiting and in addition to any other rights, options and remedies Agent has for itself and the benefit of Lenders under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to apply for and have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Agent to enforce such rights and remedies in order to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the operation of the business or any Borrower and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership including the compensation of the receiver and to the payments as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally made and consummated.

11. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS; APPOINTMENT OF AGENT

11.1 Assignment and Participations.

Subject to the terms of this Section 11.1, any Lender may make an assignment of, or sale of participations in, at any time or times, the Loan Documents, Loans and any Commitment or any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder. Any assignment by a Lender shall: (i) require (x) the consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to a Qualified Assignee), and (y) the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 11.1 and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent; (ii) be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and Agent that it is purchasing the applicable Loans to be assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof; (iii) after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assignee Lender shall have Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and the assigning Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000; and (iv) include a payment to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 11.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all other Lenders hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment permitted hereunder shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrowers to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a “Lender”. In all instances, each Lender’s liability to make Loans hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event Agent or any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of the Obligations, Agent or any such Lender shall so notify the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, execute new Notes in exchange for the Notes, if any, being

assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.1, any Lender may at any time pledge the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, and any Lender that is an investment fund may assign the Obligations held by it and such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to another investment fund managed by the same investment advisor; provided, that no such pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank shall release such Lender from such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

(a) Any participation by a Lender of all or any part of its Commitments shall be made with the understanding that all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if that Lender had not sold such participation, and that the holder of any such participation shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Loan in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of any scheduled amortization of the principal amount of the Loan or the Maturity Date, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the other Loan Documents). Subject to Section 11.1(f), solely for purposes of Sections 2.10, 2.12, 2.13 and 11.8, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that a participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrowers to the participant and the participant shall be considered to be a “Lender”; provided, however, a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 2.13 or 11.8 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with any Borrower’s prior written consent. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence no Borrower shall have any obligation or duty to any participant. Neither Agent nor any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred.

(b) Except as expressly provided in this Section 11.1, no Lender shall, as between any Borrower and that Lender, or Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Loans, any Notes or other Obligations owed to such Lender.

(c) Each Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 11.1 as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement as shall be reasonably requested and the preparation of informational materials for, and the participation of management in meetings with, potential assignees or participants, provided that the requesting Lender shall bear its own costs in connection with any such assignment and shall not be entitled to reimbursement of such costs from any Borrower.

(d) A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrowers in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including potential assignees and participants); provided that such potential assignees or participants agree to confidentiality provisions substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 13.8.

(f) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall assign or sell participations in any portion of its Loans or Commitments to a potential Lender or participant, if, as of the date of the proposed assignment or sale, the assignee Lender or participant would be subject to capital adequacy or similar requirements under Section 2.13(a), increased costs under Section 2.13(b), or an inability to fund LIBOR Loans under Section 2.13(c). A participant that would be a Non-Corporate Domestic Lender or a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers to comply with Sections 2.12, 2.13(d) and 2.13(e) as though it were a Lender.

11.2 Appointment of Agent.

CapitalSource is hereby appointed to act on behalf of all Lenders as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 11.2 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no Borrower nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any other Person. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Account Debtor that is communicated to or obtained by CapitalSource or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

If Agent shall request instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (a) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) if such action would, in the opinion of Agent, expose Agent to Environmental Liabilities or (c) if Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or

refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.

11.3 Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for damages caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 signed by such payee and in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Borrower or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Borrower; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

11.4 CapitalSource and Affiliates.

With respect to its Commitments hereunder, CapitalSource shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include CapitalSource in its individual capacity. CapitalSource and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Borrower or any such Affiliate, all as if CapitalSource were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. CapitalSource and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. CapitalSource may also purchase equity interests in Affiliates of the Borrowers and may invest in a fund that has invested debt or equity directly or indirectly in the Borrowers. CapitalSource may also purchase equity interests in Parent or its Affiliates and may invest in a fund that has invested debt or equity directly or indirectly in Parent. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest between CapitalSource as a Lender holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, CapitalSource as a Stockholder, warrant holder of Parent or indirect investor in debt or equity issued by Parent, and CapitalSource as Agent. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents

to the contrary, (i) CapitalSource and its Affiliates shall not be required to execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement in connection with any transaction involving its Affiliates or lenders and (ii) there shall be no limitation or restriction on CapitalSource’s ability to assign or otherwise transfer any Loan Document to any such Affiliate or lender; provided, however, CapitalSource shall continue to be liable as a “Lender” under the Loan Documents unless such Affiliate or lender executes an Assignment Agreement.

11.5 Lender Credit Decision.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on the Financial Statements referred to in Section 4.4(a) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Borrowers and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent 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. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

11.6 Indemnification.

Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of Borrowers hereunder), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent in connection therewith; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable in-house and external counsel fees) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrowers.

11.7 Successor Agent.

Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to

accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution is organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $300,000,000. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, within thirty (30) days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Any successor Agent appointed by Requisite Lenders hereunder shall be subject to the written approval of the Borrowers, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be required if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

11.8 Setoff and Sharing of Payments.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and subject to Section 11.9(f), each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without prior notice to any Borrower or to any Person other than Agent, to offset and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to any Borrower) and any other properties or assets at any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations that are not paid when due; provided that the Lender exercising such offset rights shall give notice thereof to the affected Borrower promptly after exercising such rights. Any Lender exercising a right of setoff or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so offset or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, (other than offset rights exercised by any Lender with respect to Sections 2.10, 2.12 or 2.13). Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender may exercise its right to offset with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amounts so offset to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of offset, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the offset amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from

the Lender that has exercised the right of offset, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

11.9 Advances; Payments; Non-Funding Lenders; Information; Actions in Concert.

(a) Advances; Payments.

(i) Agent shall notify appropriate Lenders, promptly after receipt of a Notice of Advance and in any event prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date such Notice of Advance, is received, by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance available to Agent in each case in same day funds by wire transfer to Agent’s account as set forth in Section 11 not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested funding date, in the case of a Base Rate Loan, and not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the requested funding date, in the case of a LIBOR Loan. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Agent’s sole discretion, before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, Agent shall make the requested Advance to the Borrowers. All payments by each Lender shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) Provided that each Lender has funded all payments and Advances required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be purchased by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of any receipt of such payments by the Agent, Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of principal, interest and Fees paid by the Borrowers no later than the close of business with respect to any payments received prior to 2:00 p.m. New York time and no later than 2:00 p.m. New York time one Business Day thereafter with respect to all payments received by Agent after 2:00 p.m. New York time on any Business Day for the benefit of such Lender on the Loans held by it. To the extent that any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) has failed to fund all such payments and Advances or failed to fund the purchase of all such participations, Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding short-fall against that Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from the Borrowers. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender in writing from time to time) not later than the times set forth above.

(b) Availability of Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Advance available to Agent on each funding date. If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to Agent by such Lender when due, Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon Agent’s demand, Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Agent. Nothing in this Section 11.9(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender or hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances funds to the Borrowers on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as

such Advance is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Advance until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

(i) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from the Borrowers and such related payment is not received by Agent, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under this Agreement must be returned to the Borrowers or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to the Borrowers or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(d) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Advance or any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance or purchase such participation on such date, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance, purchase a participation or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” hereunder), and the outstanding amounts of any Loans held by a Non-Funding Lender shall not be deemed to be outstanding, for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document. At the Borrowers’ request, Agent, another Lender or a Person acceptable to Agent shall have the right (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent, another Lender or such Person, all of the Commitments of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(e) Dissemination of Information. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any notice of Default or Event of Default received by Agent from, or delivered by Agent to, any Borrower, with notice of any material Event of Default of which Agent has actually become aware and with notice of any action taken by Agent following any such Event of Default; provided, that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lenders acknowledge that the Borrowers are required to provide Financial Statements and Collateral Reports to Lenders in accordance with Section 5 hereof and to provide other

100

documentation and information in connection with Advances or other provisions of this Agreement, and agree that Agent shall have no duty to provide the same to Lenders and Agent shall not be liable to Lenders should Agent fail to enforce any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(f) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any Notes (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and any Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent and Requisite Lenders.

11.10 Other Lender Rights.

Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligations owing to it and any Notes held by it and the other Loan Documents and Collateral.

12. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

12.1 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of each Borrower, Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns (including, in the case of any Borrower, a debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Borrower), except as otherwise provided herein or therein. No Borrower may assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the prior express written consent of Agent and Lenders. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by any Borrower without the prior express written consent of Lenders shall be void. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of each Borrower, Agent and Lenders with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as otherwise provided for herein, no Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement.

The Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and may not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 13.2. Any letter of interest, fee letter, fee letter or confidentiality agreement, if any, between any Borrower and Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, predating this Agreement and relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect shall be superseded by this Agreement, except to the extent that the Fee Letter is, by the terms thereof, intended to survive.

101

13.2 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrowers and by Requisite Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable. Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders shall require the written consent of Requisite Lenders.

(b) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby: (i) increase the principal amount of any Lender’s Commitment (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders); (ii) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or Fees payable with respect to any Loan of any affected Lender; (iii) extend any scheduled payment date (other than payment dates of mandatory prepayments under Section 2.2(b)(ii)-(iii)) or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Loan of any affected Lender; (iv) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest or Fees as to any affected Lender (provided that the waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to be an extension or postponement of any payment that otherwise would have been required due to acceleration thereof); (v) except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, release, or permit any Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of, or otherwise subordinate (except Permitted Encumbrances), all or substantially all of the Collateral (which action shall be deemed to directly affect all Lenders and (vi) amend or waive this Section 13.2 or the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section 13.2. Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Agent, in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for Agent to take additional Collateral pursuant to any Loan Document. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the holder of that Note. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower or any other Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 13.2 shall be binding upon each holder of any Note at the time outstanding and each future holder of any Note.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (i) and in clauses (ii) and (iii) below being referred to as “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as Agent is not a Non Consenting Lender, at the Borrowers’ request any other Lender or a Person reasonably acceptable to Agent, shall have the right with Agent’s consent (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non Consenting Lenders, and such Non Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon Agent’s request, sell and assign to such Lender or such Person, all of

102

the Commitments of such Non Consenting Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non Consenting Lenders and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(d) Upon indefeasible payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Obligations (other than indemnification Obligations), termination of the Commitments and a release of all claims against Agent and Lenders, and so long as no suits, actions proceedings, or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense, termination statements, mortgage releases and other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Obligations.

13.3 Fees and Expenses.

The Borrowers shall reimburse (i) Agent for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all of its in-house and external counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors) and (ii) Agent (and, with respect to clauses (c) and (d) below, all Lenders; provided that in the case of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than Agent, such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders) for all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including the documented reasonable fees, costs and expenses of in-house and external counsel or other advisors (including environmental and management consultants and appraisers) incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and filing and/or recordation of the Loan Documents and incurred in connection with:

(a) any amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, or termination of, any of the Loan Documents or advice in connection with the syndication and administration of the Loans made pursuant hereto or its rights hereunder or thereunder; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, upon the Borrowers’ written request, the Agent shall consult with the Borrowers with respect to estimated fees and expenses of counsel in connection with any proposed amendment, modification or waiver of any of the Loan Documents;

(b) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person and whether as a party, witness or otherwise) in any way relating to the Collateral, any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a case commenced by or against any or all of the Borrowers or any other Person that may be obligated to Agent by virtue of the Loan Documents, including any such litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of one or more Events of Default; provided, that no Person shall be entitled to reimbursement under this clause (b) in respect of any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action to the extent any of the foregoing results from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction;

103

(c) any attempt to enforce any remedies of Agent or any Lender against any or all of the Borrowers or any other Person that may be obligated to Agent or any Lender by virtue of any of the Loan Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such remedies in the course of any work-out or restructuring of the Loans, in any case during the pendency of one or more Events of Default; provided, that in the case of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than Agent, such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders;

(d) any workout or restructuring of the Loans during the pendency of one or more Events of Default; and provided, that in the case of reimbursement of counsel for Lenders other than Agent, such reimbursement shall be limited to one counsel for all such Lenders;

(e) efforts to (i) monitor the Loans or any of the other Obligations, (ii) evaluate, observe or assess any of the Borrowers or their respective affairs, and (iii) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral; and

(f) portfolio management and CapitalAnalytics or other underwriting services.

including, as to each of clauses (a) through (e) above, all reasonable in-house and external attorneys’ and other professional and service providers’ fees arising from such services and other advice, assistance or other representation, including those in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all reasonable expenses, costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 13.3, all of which shall be payable, on demand, by the Borrowers to Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees may include: reasonable fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and in-house and external paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges; telegram or telecopy charges; secretarial overtime charges; and reasonable expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred in connection with the performance of such in-house and external legal or other advisory services.

13.4 No Waiver.

Agent’s or any Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent or such Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or Event of Default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. Subject to the provisions of Section 13.2, none of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Borrower contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Default or Event of Default by any Borrower shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Agent or any Lender, unless such waiver or suspension is by an

104

instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other authorized employee of Agent (to the extent required) and the applicable required Lenders and directed to the Borrowers specifying such suspension or waiver.

13.5 Remedies.

Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Agent or any Lender may have under any other agreement, including the other Loan Documents, by operation of law or otherwise. Recourse to the Collateral shall not be required.

13.6 Severability.

Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or such other Loan Document.

13.7 Conflict of Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision in any of the other Loan Documents, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

13.8 Confidentiality.

(a) Agent and each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Agent or such Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all financial information (including compliance certificates) provided to them by the Borrowers which is marked confidential, and all other information which the Borrowers have designated in writing as confidential, at all times prior to the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the acceleration of the Loan, except that Agent and each Lender may disclose such information: (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Agent or such Lender or its affiliates; (b) to any bona fide assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenant contained in this Section 13.8 (and any such bona fide assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) above); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or reasonably believed by Agent or such Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process or any other regulation, order or decree; (d) to any of the parties that provide funding to any Lender or any party engaged as an administrative agent with respect to such funding; (e) to its affiliates, auditors, agents, officers or directors, or otherwise, as, on the advice of Agent’s or such Lender’s counsel, is required by law; (f) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents (whether prior to or after acceleration), or in connection with

105

any Litigation to which Agent or such Lender is a party; or (g) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of Agent or any Lender.

(b) Except as required by law, Borrower(s) agree, and agree to cause each of their Affiliates, (i) not to transmit or disclose provision of any Loan Document to any Person (other than to Borrowers’ advisors and officers on a need-to-know basis, including without limitation ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers for the purpose of raising equity capital) without Agent’s prior written consent, (ii) to inform all Persons, including its advisors and officers, of the confidential nature of the Loan Documents and to direct them not to disclose the same to any other Person and to require each of them to be bound by these provisions. Borrowers agree that Agent shall have the right to review and approve all materials (other than Parent’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC Filings”) or other disclosure required by law) that any Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates prepares or proposes to transmit or disclose that contain the Agent’s or any Lender’s name or describe or refer to any Loan Document, any of the terms thereof or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Nothing contained in any Loan Document is intended to permit or authorize any Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates to contract on behalf of the Agent or any Lender. To the extent a Borrower is required by law (other than with respect to the SEC Filings) to disclose any provision of this Loan Agreement or an Agent or Lender’s name, such Borrower shall give Agent prompt notice of such disclosure upon becoming aware of the need for such disclosure. The parties hereto agree that Agent, Lenders and their respective Affiliates may (i) disclose a general description of transactions arising under the Loan Documents for advertising, marketing or other similar purposes, and (ii) use any Borrower’s name, logo or other indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising, marketing or other similar purposes.

13.9 GOVERNING LAW.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN MARYLAND, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE BORROWERS, AGENT AND LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT AGENT, LENDERS AND THE BORROWERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF MARYLAND AND; PROVIDED, FURTHER THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT. EACH BORROWER EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH

106

JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH BORROWER MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.10 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH CREDIT PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

13.10 Notices.

Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other parties, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any other parties any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and five (5) Business Days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by telecopy or other similar facsimile transmission during normal business hours of the recipient (with such telecopy or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 13.10); (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number indicated below or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than to the Borrowers or Agent) designated below to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication. In addition, any delivery required to be made by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Agreement will be deemed effective if delivered to the Agent as required; provided that the Borrowers shall have no liability hereunder if any delivery of documentation and information required hereunder shall have been furnished to Agent as required.

13.12 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.

13.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG , LENDERS AND ANY BORROWER ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED THEREIN) OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

13.14 Press Releases and Related Matters.

Each Borrower executing this Agreement agrees that neither it nor its controlled Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of CapitalSource or its affiliates or referring to this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to CapitalSource and without the prior written consent of CapitalSource unless (and only to the extent that) such Borrower or Affiliate is required to do so under law or by a Governmental Authority and then, in any event, such Borrower or Affiliate will use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with CapitalSource before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

13.15 Reinstatement.

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, should any Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Borrower’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or to be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any

109

payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations (and Agent’s Liens) shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

13.16 Advice of Counsel.

Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 13.9 and 13.13, with its counsel.

13.17 No Strict Construction.

The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

13.18 Collateral Matters.

The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Encumbrance; and

(c) to release any Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of a Borrower as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Requisite Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 13.18.

13.19 Release.

Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, each Borrower voluntarily, knowingly, unconditionally and irrevocably, with specific and express intent, for and on behalf of itself (the “Releasing Party”), hereby fully and completely releases and forever discharges each Indemnified Person and any other Person or insurer which may be responsible or liable for the acts or omissions of any of the Indemnified Persons, or who may be liable for the injury or damage resulting therefrom (collectively, with the Indemnified Persons, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all actions, causes of action, damages, claims, obligations,

110

liabilities, costs, expenses and demands of any kind whatsoever, at law or in equity, matured or unmatured, vested or contingent, that the Releasing Party has against any of the Released Parties as of the Closing Date (“Losses”), other than Losses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Released Party. Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing release is a material inducement to (a) Lender’s decision to extend to Borrower the financial accommodations hereunder and has been relied upon by each Lender in agreeing to make the Advances (b) CapitalSource’s decision to serve as Agent.
