Upon Holding’s written notice to the Administrative Agent, on any Subsequent Effective Date, one or more Additional Lenders may, in their sole and absolute discretion, become parties to this Agreement (to the extent not already a party to this Agreement) for the purpose of making additional Term A Loans in an amount in excess of $25,000,000, provided that the aggregate amount of such additional Term A Loans shall not exceed the difference of (A) $150,000,000 minus (B) the total of (x) the amount (if any) by which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans has been increased on all Subsequent Effective Dates that shall have occurred prior to the relevant Subsequent Effective Date pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) plus (y) the amount (if any) by which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loans has been increased on all Subsequent Effective Dates that shall have occurred either prior to, or simultaneous with, the relevant Subsequent Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.01(e) plus (z) the amount (if any) by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitment has been increased on all such Subsequent Effective Dates that shall have occurred prior to, or simultaneous with, the relevant Subsequent Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.01(f) (each such additional commitment of the Additional Lenders to make additional Term A Loans, an “Additional Term A Commitment”). On the applicable Subsequent Effective Date, each Additional Lender holding an Additional Term A Commitment shall make a new single loan denominated in Dollars to Holdings in the amount of such Additional Lender’s Additional Term A Commitment (each such loan, an “Additional Term A Loan”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, as such terms and conditions may be amended pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof, and any such Additional Lenders not already party to this Agreement shall become parties to this Agreement by executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and shall be treated as a Term A Lender for all purposes of this Agreement from and after the relevant Subsequent Effective Date. Once the Additional Term A Loans shall have been made pursuant to this Agreement, (i) the schedule of Term A Loans maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have been amended to include all Additional Lenders holding Additional Term A Loans together with each Additional Lender’s respective Term A Proportionate Share, (ii) the schedule of Term A Loans maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have been amended to adjust the Term A Proportionate Share of all other Term A Lenders party hereto, and (iii) Schedule 2.09(a) hereto shall be deemed to have been amended to include the Additional Term A Loans in the then applicable Term A Loan amortization schedule based upon the percentages set forth therein. The Additional Term A Loans of the Additional Lenders shall be deemed to be Term A Loans of such Term A Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for all purposes.

(e) Additional Term B Loans. Upon Holding’s written notice to the Administrative Agent, on any Subsequent Effective Date, one or more Additional Lenders may, in their sole and absolute discretion, become parties to this Agreement (to the extent not already a party to this Agreement) for the purpose of making additional Term B Loans in an amount in excess of $25,000,000, provided that the aggregate amount of such additional Term B Loans shall not exceed the difference of (A) $150,000,000 minus (B) the total of (x) the amount (if any) by which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loans has been increased on all Subsequent Effective Dates that shall have occurred prior to the relevant Subsequent Effective Date pursuant to this Section 2.01(e) plus (y) the amount (if any) by which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans has been increased on all Subsequent Effective Dates that shall have occurred either prior to, or simultaneous with, the relevant Subsequent Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.01(d) plus (z) the amount (if any) by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitment has been increased on all Subsequent Effective Dates that shall have occurred prior to, or simultaneous with, the relevant Subsequent Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.01(f) (each such additional commitment of the Additional Lenders to make additional Term B Loans, an “Additional Term B Commitment”). On the applicable Subsequent Effective Date, each Additional Lender holding an Additional Term B Commitment shall make a new single loan denominated in Dollars to Holdings in the amount of such Additional Lender’s Additional Term B Commitment (each such loan, an “Additional Term B Loan”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, as such terms and conditions may be amended pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof, and any such Additional Lenders not already party to this Agreement shall become parties to this Agreement by executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and shall be treated as a Term B Lender for all purposes of this Agreement from and after the relevant Subsequent Effective Date. Once the Additional Term B Loans shall have been made pursuant to this Agreement, (1) the schedule of Term B Loans maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have been amended to include all Additional Lenders holding an Additional Term B Loan together with each such Additional Lender’s respective Term B Proportionate Share, (ii) the schedule of Term B Loans maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have been amended to adjust the Term B Proportionate Share of all other Term B Lenders party hereto, and (iii) Schedule 2.09(b) hereto shall be deemed to have been amended to include the Additional Term B Loans in the then applicable Term B Loan amortization schedule based upon the percentages set forth therein. The Additional Term B Loans of the Additional Lenders shall be deemed to be Term B Loans of such Term B Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for all purposes.

(f) Additional Revolving Commitments. Upon Holding’s written notice to the Administrative Agent, on any Subsequent Effective Date one or more Additional Lenders may, in their sole and absolute discretion, provide additional Revolving Commitments in an amount in excess of $25,000,000, provided that the aggregate amount of such additional Revolving Commitments shall not exceed the difference of (A) $150,000,000 minus (B) the total of (x) the amount (if any) by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitment has been increased on all Subsequent Effective Dates that shall have occurred prior to the relevant Subsequent Effective Date pursuant to this Section 2.01(f) plus (y) the amount (if any) by which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans has been increased on all Subsequent Effective Dates that shall have occurred either prior to, or simultaneous with, the relevant Subsequent Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.01(d) plus (z) the amount (if any) by which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loans has been increased on all Subsequent Effective Dates that shall have occurred prior to, or simultaneous with, the relevant Subsequent Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.01(e) (each such additional commitment, an “Additional Revolving Commitment”), which Additional Revolving Commitment may thereafter be made available to Holdings as Revolving Loans. Any Additional Lender not already party to this Agreement shall become a party to this Agreement by executing a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and shall be treated as a Revolving Lender for all purposes of this Agreement from and after the Subsequent Effective Date. Once such Additional Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to have been made available pursuant to this Agreement, (i) Schedule 2.01(c) hereto shall be deemed to have been amended to include all Additional Lenders holding an Additional Revolving Commitment together with such Additional Lender’s respective Revolving Commitment and Revolving Proportionate Share, (ii) Schedule 2.01(c) hereto shall be deemed to have been amended to adjust the Revolving Proportionate Share of all other Revolving Lenders party hereto, and (iii) the definition of “Aggregate Revolving Commitment” shall be deemed to have been amended to include the Additional Revolving Commitments provided by such Additional Lenders on the relevant Subsequent Effective Date. To effect the foregoing, on the Subsequent Effective Date, the amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding and held by each Revolving Lender shall be adjusted to reflect the changes in the Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Proportionate Shares, subject to Section 4.04. Each Revolving Lender having Revolving Loans, or participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans, then outstanding and whose Revolving Proportionate Share has been decreased on the Subsequent Effective Date shall be deemed to have assigned on the Subsequent Effective Date, without recourse, to each Revolving Lender increasing its Revolving Proportionate Share on the Subsequent Effective Date such portion of such Revolving Loans and participations as shall be necessary to effectuate such adjustment. Each Revolving Lender increasing its Revolving Proportionate Share on the Subsequent Effective Date shall (i) be deemed to have assumed such portion of such Revolving Loans and participations and (ii) fund on the Subsequent Effective Date such assumed amounts to the Administrative Agent for the account of the assigning Revolving Lender in accordance with the provisions hereof in the amount notified to such increasing Revolving Lender by the Administrative Agent. On and after each Subsequent Effective Date, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (i) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed the combined Revolving Commitments (inclusive of the Additional Revolving Commitments) of the Revolving Lenders; and (ii) the Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender plus the participation of such Revolving Lender in the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations and in the Effective Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not at any time exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment (inclusive of its Additional Revolving Commitment, if any). On and after the Subsequent Effective Date, each Additional Lender holding an Additional Revolving Commitment shall be a Revolving Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for all purposes with a Revolving Commitment and a Revolving Proportionate Share as set forth on Schedule 2.01(c), as deemed amended in clause (i) above, with the rights, duties and obligations of a Revolving Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.02 Loan Accounts. (a) The Loans made by each Lender and the Letters of Credit Issued by the L/C Issuer shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to Holdings and the Letters of Credit Issued for the account of Holdings, and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Holdings hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or any Letter of Credit.

(b) Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Loans made by such Lender may be evidenced by one or more Notes, instead of or in addition to loan accounts. Each such Lender shall endorse on the schedules annexed to its Note(s) the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by Holdings with respect thereto. Each such Lender is irrevocably authorized by Holdings to endorse its Note(s), and each Lender’s record shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender to make, or an error in making, a notation thereon with respect to any Loan shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Holdings hereunder or under any such Note to such Lender.

2.03 Procedure for Borrowing. (a) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall be made upon Holdings’ irrevocable written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (i) prior to 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans; and (ii) prior to 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, specifying:

(i) the amount of the Borrowing, which shall be in a Minimum Amount, and whether such Borrowing shall be of Term A Loans, Term B Loans or Revolving Loans;

(ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the Type of Loans comprising the Borrowing; and

(iv) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period applicable to such Loans included in such notice, subject to the provisions of the definition of “Interest Period” herein. If the Notice of Borrowing fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing comprised of Offshore Rate Loans, such Interest Period shall be one month;

provided, however, that with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Effective Date and on any Subsequent Effective Date, the Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) one (1) Business Day before the Effective Date or Subsequent Effective Date, as the case may be.

(b) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender, Term A Lender or Term B Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of any Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of that Borrowing.

(c) Each Lender will make the amount of its Proportionate Share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of Holdings at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office by 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the Borrowing Date requested by Holdings in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. The proceeds of each such Borrowing will then be made available to Holdings by the Administrative Agent at such office by crediting the account of Holdings on the books of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent, or if requested by Holdings, by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by Holdings of such funds as received by the Administrative Agent, unless on the date of the Borrowing all or any portion of the proceeds thereof shall then be required to be applied to the repayment of any outstanding Loans, in which case such proceeds or portion thereof shall be applied to the payment of such Loans.

(d) After giving effect to any Borrowing, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than eight different Interest Periods in effect.

2.04 Conversion and Continuation Elections. (a) Holdings may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(b):

(i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans, or as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of any Offshore Rate Loans, to convert any such Loans (or any part thereof in a Minimum Amount) into Loans of any other Type; or

(ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any Offshore Rate Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in a Minimum Amount);

provided that if at any time the aggregate amount of Offshore Rate Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $5,000,000, such Offshore Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right of Holdings to continue such Loans as, and convert such Loans into, Offshore Rate Loans, shall terminate.

(b) Holdings shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Conversion/ Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as Offshore Rate Loans; and (ii) prior to 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans, specifying:

(i) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date;

(ii) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;

(iii) the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation;

(iv) other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period, subject to the provisions of the definition of “Interest Period” herein; and

(v) whether such conversion or continuation shall be of Term A Loans, Term B Loans or Revolving Loans.

(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to Offshore Rate Loans, Holdings has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Offshore Rate Loans, or if any Default or Event of Default then exists, Holdings shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Offshore Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term A Lender, Term B Lender and Revolving Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by Holdings, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

(e) Unless the Majority Lenders otherwise consent, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, Holdings may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as an Offshore Rate Loan.

(f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than eight (8) different Interest Periods in effect.

2.05 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Holdings may, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Commitments, or permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments, provided that the aggregate amount of any partial reduction is in a Minimum Amount; unless, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of any Loans made on the effective date thereof, (i) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations together would exceed the combined Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders then in effect, or (ii) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment then in effect. Once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.05, the Revolving Commitments may not be increased (except pursuant to Section 2.01(f)). Any reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to each Revolving Lender according to its Revolving Proportionate Share. If and to the extent specified by Holdings in the notice to the Administrative Agent, some or all of the reduction in the Revolving Commitments shall be applied to reduce the L/C Commitment. All accrued commitment and letter of credit fees to, but not including, the effective date of any reduction or termination of Revolving Commitments, shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination.

(b) At no time shall the Swingline Commitment exceed the combined Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, and any reduction of the Revolving Commitments which reduces the combined Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders below the then-current amount of the Swingline Commitment shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swingline Commitment to the amount of the combined Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, as so reduced, without any action on the part of the Swingline Lender.

2.06 Swingline Loans. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the Revolving Commitment available to Holdings by making swingline loans denominated in Dollars (individually, a “Swingline Loan”, and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to Holdings on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.06 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000), notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with any other Revolving Loans made by or Letters of Credit participated in by the Swingline Lender, may exceed the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Commitment (the amount of such commitment of the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans to Holdings pursuant to this Section 2.06(a), as the same shall be reduced pursuant to Section 2.05 or Section 2.08 or as a result of any assignment pursuant to Section 11.08, the Swingline Lender’s “Swingline Commitment”); provided that at no time shall (i) the sum of the Effective Amount of all Swingline Loans plus the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans plus the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations exceed the combined Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, or (ii) the Effective Amount of all Swingline Loans exceed the Swingline Commitment. Additionally, no more than three Swingline Loans may be outstanding at any one time, and all Swingline Loans shall at all times accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (for Base Rate Loans) or at such other rate as may be agreed to by the Swingline Lender and Holdings. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Holdings may borrow under this Section 2.06(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.07 and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.06(a).

(b) Holdings shall provide the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (including notice via facsimile confirmed immediately by a telephone call) in the form of a Notice of Borrowing of any Swingline Loan requested hereunder (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be in a Minimum Amount, and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day. Unless the Swingline Lender has received notice prior to 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on such Borrowing Date from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) (A) directing the Swingline Lender not to make the requested Swingline Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso set forth in Section 2.06(a); or (B) that one or more conditions specified in Article V are not then satisfied; then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender will, not later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the Borrowing Date specified in such Notice of Borrowing, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to Holdings by crediting the account of Holdings on the books of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo or if requested by Holdings, by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by Holdings. The Administrative Agent will notify the Revolving Lenders on a quarterly basis if any Swingline Loan Borrowings occurred during such quarter.

(c) Holdings shall repay to the Swingline Lender in full on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(d) For one (1) Business Day during each successive ten (10) Business Day period, the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans shall be $0 (a “Clean-Up Day”); Holdings shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans in whole to the extent required so that a Clean-Up Day may occur in each such ten (10) Business Day period as provided in this Section 2.06(d) (which Swingline Loans may not be reborrowed until such Clean-Up Day has ended).

(e) If:

(i) any Swingline Loans shall remain outstanding at 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on any day required to be a Clean-Up Day (by virtue of there being Swingline Loans outstanding for ten consecutive Business Days) and by such time on such Business Day the Administrative Agent shall have received neither: (A) a Notice of Borrowing delivered pursuant to Section 2.03 requesting that Revolving Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01 on the Clean-Up Day in an amount at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Swingline Loans; nor (B) any other notice indicating Holdings’ intent to repay such Swingline Loans with funds obtained from other sources; or

(ii) any Swingline Loans shall remain outstanding during the existence of an Event of Default and the Swingline Lender shall in its sole discretion notify the Administrative Agent that the Swingline Lender desires that such Swingline Loans be converted into Revolving Loans;

then the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have received a Notice of Borrowing from Holdings pursuant to Section 2.03 requesting that Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans be made pursuant to Section 2.01(c) on such Clean-Up Day (in the case of the circumstances described in clause (i) above) or on the first Business Day subsequent to the date of such notice from the Swingline Lender (in the case of the circumstances described in clause (ii) above) in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loans, the proceeds of which Revolving Loans shall be applied to repay such Swingline Loans, and the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(b) and Section 2.03(c) shall be followed in making such Revolving Loans; provided, that such Revolving Loans shall be made notwithstanding Holdings’ failure to comply with Section 5.04; and provided, further, that if a Borrowing of Revolving Loans becomes legally impracticable and if so required by the Swingline Lender at the time such Revolving Loans are required to be made by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with this Section 2.06(e), each Revolving Lender agrees that in lieu of making Revolving Loans as described in this Section 2.06(e), such Revolving Lender shall purchase a participation from the Swingline Lender in the applicable Swingline Loans in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Swingline Loans, and the procedures set forth in Section 2.03(b) and Section 2.03(c) shall be followed in connection with the purchases of such participations. Upon such purchases of participations the prepayment requirements of Section 2.06(d) shall be deemed waived with respect to such Swingline Loans. If any Swingline Loan shall remain outstanding in lieu of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans as provided above, interest on such Swingline Loan shall be due and payable on demand and shall accrue at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans. A copy of each notice given by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.06(e) with respect to the making of Revolving Loans, or the purchases of participations, shall be promptly delivered by the Administrative Agent to Holdings. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Loans, or purchase the participations, as contemplated by this Section 2.06(e), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, Holdings or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (3) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.07 Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 4.04, Holdings may, at any time or from time to time, in the case of Offshore Rate Loans, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of Base Rate Loans, upon irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent provided prior to 9:00 a.m. on the day of such prepayment (provided that in the case of Base Rate Loans, if such prepayment is received by the Administrative Agent on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on any day, such payment shall be applied against the outstanding Loans on the same day), ratably prepay Loans in whole or in part, in Minimum Amounts without penalty. Such notice of prepayment shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such prepayment of Loans is of Term A Loans, Term B Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans (or a combination thereof) and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Term A Lenders, the Term B Lenders, the Revolving Lenders or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of any such notice and of such prepayment. If such notice is given by Holdings, Holdings shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (other than in the case of Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to each such date on the amount prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to Section 4.04. Optional prepayments of Term A Loans shall be applied to reduce the Term A Loans with respect to each remaining installment of principal pro rata in accordance with the then remaining installments payable under Section 2.09(a). Optional prepayments of Term B Loans shall be applied to reduce the Term B Loans with respect to each remaining installment of principal pro rata in accordance with the then remaining installments payable under Section 2.09(b).

2.08 Mandatory Prepayments of Loans; Mandatory Commitment Reductions.

(a) Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(i) If at any time the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the L/C Commitment, Holdings shall Cash Collateralize on such date the outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the excess of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit over the L/C Commitment.

(ii) If at any time, the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans plus the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the combined Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, Holdings shall immediately, and without notice or demand, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and L/C Advances by an amount equal to the applicable excess.

(iii) If Holdings, the Company or any other Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time during any fiscal year make or agree to make a Disposition, then (A) Holdings shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in advance of such Disposition (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by Holdings, the Company or such other Subsidiary in respect thereof), and (B) if, after giving effect to such Disposition, the Net Proceeds of all Dispositions which have occurred in such fiscal year are greater than $20,000,000 in the aggregate, then promptly upon, and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after, receipt by Holdings, the Company or the other Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition, Holdings shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount by which the Net Proceeds of such Disposition when added to the Net Proceeds received by Holdings, the Company or any other Subsidiary on account of all other Dispositions which have occurred in such fiscal year, less the amount, if any, of Net Proceeds already so applied in such fiscal year, exceeds $20,000,000; provided, however, that with respect to any Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, Holdings shall only be required to prepay the Term Loans as provided above in an amount equal to the ratable portion of the Net Proceeds received by such Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary based on Holdings’ direct or indirect interest in such Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary.

(iv) If Holdings, the Company or any other Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time issue any debt securities or otherwise borrow money (other than any Loans) for cash consideration in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate for all such issuances and borrowings from and after the Effective Date, then (i) Holdings shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in advance of the estimated Net Issuance Proceeds of such issuance or borrowing, and (ii) promptly upon, and in no event later than one (1) Business Day after, receipt by Holdings, the Company or the other Subsidiary of the Net Issuance Proceeds of such issuance or borrowing, Holdings shall prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of all Net Issuance Proceeds received by Holdings, the Company or any such other Subsidiary on account of such issuance or borrowing; provided, however, that with respect to any Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, Holdings shall only be required to prepay the Term Loans as provided above in an amount equal to the ratable portion of the Net Issuance Proceeds received by such Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary in respect of such issuance or borrowing based on Holdings’ direct or indirect interest in such Non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary.

(v) Any prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be subject to Section 4.04 and applied, first, to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to Offshore Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining; provided, however, that if the amount of Base Rate Loans then outstanding is not sufficient to satisfy the entire prepayment requirement, Holdings may, at its option, place any amounts which it would otherwise be required to use to prepay Offshore Rate Loans on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor into an interest-bearing account pledged to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders until the end of such Interest Period at which time such pledged amounts will be applied to prepay such Offshore Rate Loans. Holdings shall pay, together with each prepayment under this Section 2.08, accrued interest on the amount of any Offshore Rate Loans prepaid and any amounts required pursuant to Section 4.04. Prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be applied pro rata to the Term A Loans and Term B Loans then outstanding. Within each Term Loan tranche, such prepayments of Term A Loans shall be applied to reduce the Term A Loans with respect to each remaining installment of principal pro rata in accordance with the then remaining installments payable under Section 2.09(a), and such prepayments of Term B Loans shall be applied to reduce the Term B Loans with respect to each remaining installment of principal pro rata in accordance with the then remaining installments payable under Section 2.09(b).

(b) Mandatory Commitment Reductions.

(i) The Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(ii) If, on the Effective Date, the Aggregate Term A Commitment shall exceed the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loans made on the Effective Date, such unused portion of the Aggregate Term A Commitment shall thereafter automatically terminate on the Effective Date.

(c) Optional Waiver of Prepayments. Any Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent in writing (or by telephone or telecopy promptly confirmed in writing) at least one Business Day prior to any prepayment of the Term Loans required to be made by Holdings for the account of such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.08, to waive all or a portion of such prepayment. In the event one or more Term Lenders elects to waive all or a portion of any such prepayment, the pro rata allocation of the prepayment across the applicable Term Loan tranche shall be adjusted accordingly.

2.09 Repayment. (a) The Term A Loans. Holdings shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term A Lenders the aggregate principal amount of Term A Loans in quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on September 30, 2006, in the applicable amounts set forth on Schedule 2.09(a) hereto (or as such Schedule may be amended pursuant to Section 2.01(d) hereof).

(b) The Term B Loans. Holdings shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term B Lenders the aggregate principal amount of Term B Loans in quarterly installments on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on June 30, 2005, in the applicable amounts set forth on Schedule 2.09(b) hereto (or as such Schedule may be amended pursuant to Section 2.01(e) hereof).

(c) The Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans. Holdings shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders and Swingline Lender on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans outstanding on such date.

2.10 Interest. (a) (i) Subject to Section 2.10(c) below, each Revolving Loan and Term Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the Offshore Rate or the Base Rate, as the case may be (and subject to Holdings’ right to convert to other Types of Loans under Section 2.04), plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (for Base Rate Loans), or at such other rate as may be agreed to by the Swingline Lender.

(b) Interest on each Revolving Loan, Term Loan and Swingline Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any prepayment of Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) under Section 2.07 or Section 2.08 for the portion of such Loans so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment) in full thereof, and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the Term A Loan Maturity Date or Term B Loan Maturity Date, as applicable. During the existence of any Event of Default, interest shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Majority Lenders.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 2.10(a), while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, Holdings shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans and other Obligations of Holdings, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding 2% per annum to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Loans and other Obligations and, in the case of Obligations not subject to an Applicable Margin, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans, plus 2% per annum; provided, however, that on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Offshore Rate Loan outstanding on the date of occurrence of such Event of Default or acceleration, the principal amount of such Loan shall, during the continuation of such Event of Default or after acceleration, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Base Rate Loans, plus 2% per annum.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of Holdings to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event Holdings shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

2.11 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Section 3.08:

(a) Arrangement and Agency Fees. Holdings shall pay the fees specified in that certain letter agreement (the “Fee Letter”) between Holdings and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank dated May 18, 2005.

(b) Commitment Fees. Holdings shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily unused portion of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment (the “Available Commitment”), computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon the daily utilization for that quarter as calculated by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Amount (such fees, the “Commitment Fees”). For purposes of calculating the Available Commitment under this Section 2.11, the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed used to the extent of the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding plus the Effective Amount of L/C Obligations then outstanding (other than L/C Obligations consisting of the aggregate undrawn amount of all Commercial Letters of Credit then outstanding). Swingline Loans shall not constitute utilization for purposes of calculating Available Commitment. Such Commitment Fees shall accrue from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on September 30, 2005, to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; provided that in connection with any termination of Commitments hereunder, the accrued Commitment Fees calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid on the date of termination. The Commitment Fees provided in this Section 2.11(b) shall accrue at all times after the Effective Date, including at any time during which one or more conditions in Article V are not met.

2.12 Computation of Fees and Interest. (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on Holdings and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent will, at the request of Holdings or any Lender, deliver to Holdings or the Lender, as the case may be, a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate and the resulting interest rate.

2.13 Payments by Holdings. (a) All payments to be made by Holdings shall be made without set off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Holdings shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office, and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Proportionate Share (or other applicable share as expressly provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from Holdings prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Holdings will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Administrative Agent may assume that Holdings has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Holdings has not made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

2.14 Payments by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent. (a) Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Effective Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Effective Date, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Administrative Agent for the account of Holdings the amount of that Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Holdings on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds and the Administrative Agent in such circumstances has made available to Holdings such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Administrative Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period. A notice of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 2.14(a) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent will notify Holdings of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, Holdings shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

(b) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any Borrowing Date or to make any payment under Section 10.07 shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date or to make such payment under Section 10.07, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Borrowing Date or to make such payment under Section 10.07.

2.15 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein:

(i) Each Revolving Loan and reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment shall be made or shared among the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares;

(iii) Each Term B Loan shall be made or shared among the Term B Lenders pro rata according to their respective Term B Proportionate Shares;

(vi) Each payment of Commitment Fees pursuant to this Agreement shall be shared among the Revolving Lenders (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according to (A) their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares and (B) in the case of each Revolving Lender which becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Revolving Lender so became a Revolving Lender;

(vii) Each payment of any fees due in connection with any amendment hereto or any waiver of or forbearance from any Event of Default existing hereunder shall be shared among those Lenders consenting to such amendment, waiver or forbearance or as otherwise agreed to by such Lenders;

(viii) Each payment of interest (other than interest on Loans) and fees (other than Commitment Fees) shall be shared among the Lenders and the Administrative Agent owed the amount upon which such interest accrues pro rata according to (A) the respective amounts so owed such Lenders and the Administrative Agent and (B) the dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and

(ix) All other payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be for the benefit of the Person or Persons specified.

(b) If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder), such Lender shall immediately (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase from the other applicable Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Holdings agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set off, but subject to Section 11.10) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Holdings in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.15(b) and will in each case notify the applicable Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.

2.16 Security and Guaranty. (a) All Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and all other Loan Documents shall be secured in accordance with the Collateral Documents.

(b) The L/C Issuer is under no obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the L/C Issuer in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it;

3.02 Issuance, Amendment and Renewal of Letters of Credit. (a) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon the irrevocable written request of Holdings received by the L/C Issuer (with a copy sent by Holdings to the Administrative Agent) at least four (4) Business Days (or such shorter time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of issuance. Each such request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, in the form of an L/C Application, and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (i) the proposed date of issuance of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (vii) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require.

(b) At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Issuance of any Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of the L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application from Holdings and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received notice on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the date the L/C Issuer is to issue a requested Letter of Credit from the Administrative Agent (A) directing the L/C Issuer not to issue such Letter of Credit because such issuance is not then permitted under Section 3.01(a) as a result of the limitations set forth in clauses (x) through (z) thereof or Section 3.01(b)(ii); or (B) that one or more conditions specified in Article V are not then satisfied; then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Holdings in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.

(c) From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the L/C Issuer will, upon the written request of Holdings received by the L/C Issuer (with a copy sent by Holdings to the Administrative Agent) at least four (4) Business Days (or such shorter time as the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of amendment (including a renewal or extension thereof), amend any Letter of Credit issued by it. Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed immediately in an original writing, made in the form of an L/C Amendment Application and shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Revolving Lenders of the Issuance of any Standby Letter of Credit notified to it by the L/C Issuer. The Revolving Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent will not notify them of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any L/C Application or L/C Amendment Application or of the Issuance of any Commercial Letter of Credit. From time to time the Administrative Agent will notify the Revolving Lenders of the amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit hereunder.

(d) The L/C Issuer and the Revolving Lenders agree that, while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to authorize the renewal of any Letter of Credit issued by it. The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to so renew any Letter of Credit if: (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue or amend such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms of this Agreement; or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed renewal of the Letter of Credit. If any outstanding Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be automatically renewed unless the beneficiary thereof receives notice from the L/C Issuer that such Letter of Credit shall not be renewed, and if at the time of renewal, the L/C Issuer would be entitled to authorize the renewal of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 3.02(d) upon the request of Holdings, but the L/C Issuer shall not have received any written direction by Holdings with respect thereto, the L/C Issuer shall nonetheless be permitted to allow such Letter of Credit to renew, and Holdings and the Revolving Lenders hereby authorize such renewal, and, accordingly, the L/C Issuer shall be deemed to have received an L/C Amendment Application from Holdings requesting such renewal.

(e) The L/C Issuer may, at its election (or as required by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Majority Revolving Lenders), deliver any notices of termination or other communications to any Letter of Credit beneficiary or transferee, and take any other action as necessary or appropriate, at any time and from time to time, in order to cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to be a date not later than the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

(f) This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any L/C Related Document (other than any Letter of Credit).

(g) The L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Administrative Agent, concurrently or promptly following its delivery of a Letter of Credit, or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit, to an advising bank or a beneficiary, a true and complete copy of each such Letter of Credit or amendment to or renewal of a Letter of Credit.

3.03 Risk Participations, Drawings and Reimbursements. (a) Immediately upon the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to the product of (i) the Revolving Proportionate Share of such Revolving Lender, times (ii) the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively. Each Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to utilize the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender by an amount equal to the amount of such participation.

(b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the L/C Issuer will promptly notify Holdings and specify in such notice the date such drawing will be honored by the L/C Issuer (the “Honor Date”). If the L/C Issuer so notifies Holdings prior to 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the Honor Date, Holdings, as account party under such Letter of Credit, shall reimburse the L/C Issuer no later than 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the Honor Date for the amount paid by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit or, if the L/C Issuer shall so notify Holdings after 9:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the Honor Date, Holdings, as account party under such Letter of Credit, shall reimburse the L/C Issuer no later than 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the next succeeding Business Day for the amount paid by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit on the Honor Date (each such date, a “Reimbursement Date”), in each case, in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the L/C Issuer. In the event Holdings fails to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the required time as provided above on the Reimbursement Date, the L/C Issuer will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof (including the amount thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share thereof), and Holdings shall be deemed to have requested that Base Rate Loans be made by the Revolving Lenders to Holdings to be disbursed on the Reimbursement Date for such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.04. Holdings hereby directs that the proceeds of any such Loans deemed to be borrowed by it shall be used to pay its reimbursement obligations in respect of any such drawing. Solely for the purposes of making such Loans, the Minimum Amount limitations set forth in Section 2.03 shall not be applicable. Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing (including by facsimile); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. In the event that any amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit is not reimbursed by Holdings on the Honor Date, such unreimbursed amount shall bear interest until it is either deemed to be an L/C Borrowing as provided in Section 3.03(d) or deemed to be converted to a Base Rate Loan as provided in this Section 3.03(b), at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans.

(c) Each Revolving Lender shall, upon receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 3.03(b), make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon such Revolving Lender shall (subject to Section 3.03(f)) be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan consisting of a Base Rate Loan to Holdings in that amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Reimbursement Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice on the Reimbursement Date or in sufficient time to enable any Revolving Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Revolving Lender from its obligations under this Section 3.03.

(d) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Loans in whole or in part, because of Holdings’ failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 5.04 or for any other reason, Holdings shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of such drawing, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Revolving Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans, plus 2% per annum. In such event, each Revolving Lender shall upon receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 3.03(b) make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer an amount in Dollars and in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of the drawing. Each Revolving Lender’s payment to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.03(d) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3.03.

(e) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the amount of any drawing by no later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the Reimbursement Date, then interest shall accrue on such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Reimbursement Date to the date such Revolving Lender makes such payment, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time during the period commencing on the Reimbursement Date and ending on the date three (3) Business Days thereafter, and (ii) thereafter at the Base Rate as in effect from time to time, payable on demand of the Administrative Agent.

(f) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make or participate in the Revolving Loans or L/C Advances, as contemplated by this Section 3.03, as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute and unconditional and without recourse to the L/C Issuer and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, Holdings or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, an Event of Default or a Material Adverse Effect; or (iii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans under this Section 3.03 is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.04; and provided, further, however, that a Revolving Lender may have recourse against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to a Revolving Lender, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Revolving Lender which such Revolving Lender proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.

3.04 Repayment of Participations. (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer of immediately available funds from Holdings (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Revolving Lender has paid the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer for such Revolving Lender’s participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.03 or (ii) in payment of interest thereon, the Administrative Agent will pay to each Revolving Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such funds, and the L/C Issuer shall receive the amount of the Revolving Proportionate Share of such funds of any Revolving Lender that did not so pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(b) If the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to Holdings, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Holdings to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.04(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Revolving Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer the amount of its Revolving Proportionate Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

3.05 Role of the L/C Issuer. (a) Each Revolving Lender and Holdings agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft and certificates expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.

(b) No Administrative Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Revolving Lender (including the Majority Revolving Lenders, as applicable); (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any L/C-Related Document.

(c) Holdings hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Holdings pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Administrative Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 3.06; provided, however, anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, that Holdings may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to Holdings, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Holdings which Holdings proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

3.06 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Holdings under this Agreement and any L/C-Related Document to reimburse the L/C Issuer for a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and to repay any L/C Borrowing and any drawing under a Letter of Credit converted into Revolving Loans, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each such other L/C-Related Document under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any L/C-Related Document;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of Holdings in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C-Related Documents;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Holdings may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the L/C-Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit;

(v) any payment by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding;

(vi) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of Holdings in respect of any Letter of Credit; or

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Holdings or a Guarantor.

3.07 Cash Collateral Pledge. (a) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request on any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing hereunder, or (b) if, as of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (c) the occurrence of the circumstances described in Section 2.08(a)(i) requiring Holdings to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, then, Holdings shall immediately Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such L/C Obligations. Holdings shall, to the extent necessary, make such additional pledges from time to time as shall be necessary to ensure that all L/C Obligations remain at all times fully Cash Collateralized. Cash collateral held under this Section 3.07 or Section 9.02 shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo pursuant to the Security Agreement.

3.08 Letter of Credit Fees. (a) Holdings shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each of the Revolving Lenders in accordance with its respective Revolving Proportionate Share a letter of credit fee with respect to the Standby Letters of Credit equal to the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Amount of the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn of the outstanding Standby Letters of Credit, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon Standby Letters of Credit outstanding for that quarter as calculated by the Administrative Agent. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during which Standby Letters of Credit are outstanding, commencing on the first such quarterly date to occur after the Effective Date, to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such later date upon which the outstanding Letters of Credit shall expire), with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such later expiration date). Such fees are fully earned when due and, once paid, are non-refundable.

(b) Holdings shall pay to the L/C Issuer, for the L/C Issuer’s sole account, a letter of credit fee with respect to the amount from time to time available to be drawn under Commercial Letters of Credit in such amount and on such dates as shall separately be agreed upon between the L/C Issuer and Holdings. Such fees are fully earned when due and, once paid, are non-refundable.

(c) Holdings shall pay to the L/C Issuer, for the L/C Issuer’s sole account, a letter of credit fronting fee for each Standby Letter of Credit Issued by the L/C Issuer equal to 0.125% per annum of the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn of the outstanding Standby Letters of Credit, computed on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter based upon Standby Letters of Credit outstanding for that quarter as calculated by the L/C Issuer. Such letter of credit fronting fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter during which Standby Letters of Credit are outstanding, commencing on the first such quarterly date to occur after the Effective Date, to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such later date upon which the outstanding Letters of Credit shall expire), with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such later expiration date). Such fees are fully earned when due and, once paid, are non-refundable.

(d) Holdings shall pay to the L/C Issuer from time to time on demand the normal issuance, presentation, transfer, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.

(e) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section 3.08, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, Holdings shall pay a letter of credit fee (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn of the outstanding Letters of Credit, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding 2% per annum to the rate otherwise then in effect hereunder for such Letters of Credit.

3.09 Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and Holdings when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (the “UCP”), as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (including the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each Commercial Letter of Credit.

3.10 Trade Bank as L/C Issuer. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, at its option, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo, as L/C Issuer, may arrange for Letters of Credit to be issued by Trade Bank as agent for ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo. All parties hereto understand and agree that to the extent any Letters of Credit are issued by Trade Bank as agent for ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo, (i) Trade Bank is agent only to ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo and not to Holdings and has no obligations to Holdings, (ii) the Letters of Credit issued by Trade Bank will be deemed Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer for all purposes hereunder and (iii) any of the obligations performed or rights exercised pursuant to or in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Trade Bank shall be deemed obligations performed or rights exercised by ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo as L/C Issuer. To the extent that the L/C Issuer is required to provide any notices to, or take any other actions for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent hereunder, with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by Trade Bank, no such notice or action shall be required.

ARTICLE IV

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

4.01 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by Holdings to each Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes. In addition, Holdings shall pay all Other Taxes.

(b) If Holdings shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, then:

(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this section), such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

(ii) Holdings shall make such deductions and withholdings;

(iii) Holdings shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law; and

(iv) Holdings shall also pay to each Lender or the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, at the time interest is paid, Further Taxes in the amount that the respective Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed.

(c) Holdings agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of (i) Taxes, (ii) Other Taxes, and (iii) Further Taxes in the amount that the respective Lender or the Administrative Agent specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield such Lender or the Administrative Agent would have received if such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed, and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by Holdings of Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes, Holdings shall furnish to each Lender or the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Lender or the Administrative Agent.

(e) If Holdings is required to pay any amount to any Lender pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this Section, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by Holdings which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the sole judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 4.01 shall override any term or provision of any Specified Swap Contract regarding withholding taxes relating to Swap Contracts.

4.02 Illegality. (a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make Offshore Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Holdings through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of that Lender to make Offshore Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and Holdings that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

(b) If a Lender determines that it is unlawful to maintain any Offshore Rate Loan, Holdings shall, upon its receipt of notice of such fact and demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay in full such Offshore Rate Loans of that Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon and amounts required under Section 4.04, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Offshore Rate Loan. If Holdings is required to so prepay any Offshore Rate Loan, then concurrently with such prepayment, Holdings shall borrow from the affected Lender, in the amount of such repayment, a Base Rate Loan.

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans has been so terminated or suspended, Holdings may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Offshore Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

(d) Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent under this Section 4.02, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its Offshore Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

4.03 Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. (a) If any Lender determines that, due to either (i) the introduction of, or any change (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of the Offshore Rate) in, or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance by that Lender with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Offshore Rate Loans or participating in Letters of Credit, or, in the case of the L/C Issuer, any increase in the cost to the L/C Issuer of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any unpaid drawing under any Letter of Credit, then Holdings shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to be sent to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such increased costs.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that (i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (iv) compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender with any Capital Adequacy Regulation, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitment, loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, upon demand of such Lender to Holdings through the Administrative Agent, Holdings shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase.

4.04 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, Holdings shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by Holdings (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Holdings; or

(c) any assignment of a Offshore Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by Holdings pursuant to Section 4.07;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Holdings shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Holdings to the Lenders under this Section 4.04, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Offshore Rate Loan made by it at the Offshore Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Offshore Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

4.05 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Offshore Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Borrowing of Offshore Rate Loans or conversion into or continuation of Offshore Rate Loans, or that the Offshore Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.10(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Borrowing of Offshore Rate Loans, or a conversion into or continuation of Offshore Rate Loans does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loans, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Holdings and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Offshore Rate Loans, as the case may be, hereunder shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, Holdings may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation then submitted by it. If Holdings does not revoke such Notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by Holdings, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by Holdings, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Offshore Rate Loans, as the case may be.

4.06 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article IV shall deliver to Holdings (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder, and the basis for calculation of such amount, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Holdings in the absence of manifest error.

4.07 Substitution of Lenders. Upon the receipt by Holdings from any Lender of a claim for compensation under Section 4.03, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (in each case, an “Affected Lender”), Holdings may: (i) request one or more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitment; or (ii) designate a replacement lending institution (which shall be an Eligible Assignee) to acquire and assume all of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitment (a “Replacement Lender”); provided, however, that Holdings shall be liable for the payment upon demand of all costs and other amounts arising under Section 4.04 that result from the acquisition of any Affected Lender’s Loan and/or Commitment (or any portion thereof) by a Lender or Replacement Lender, as the case may be, on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to any Offshore Rate Loan then outstanding. Any such designation of a Replacement Lender under clause (ii) shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the assignment provisions contained in Section 11.08, and shall in any event be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

4.08 Survival. The agreements and obligations of Holdings in this Article IV shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the payment of all other Obligations.

(d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law;

except, in each case referred to in clauses (b)(i), (c) or (d) of this Section 6.01, to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.02 Corporate Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which such Loan Party is party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or other applicable organizational action, and do not and will not:

(a) contravene the terms of any of that Person’s Organization Documents;

(b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Person or its property is subject; or

6.03 Governmental Authorization. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority (except for recordings or filings in connection with the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under the Collateral Documents) is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

6.04 Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

6.05 Litigation. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 6.05, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending, or to the best knowledge of Holdings and the Company, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, against Holdings or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties which:

(a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; or

(b) are reasonably likely to result in an adverse result for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, which adverse result would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.01 Appointment and Authorization; “Administrative Agent”. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 10.09) appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “Administrative Agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit Issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Majority Lenders to act for the L/C Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit Issued by it or proposed to be Issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent,” as used in this Article X, included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the L/C Issuer.

10.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.

10.03 Liability of Administrative Agent. None of the Administrative Agent Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Holdings or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Holdings, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value of or title to any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Administrative Agent Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Lenders, the Majority Revolving Lenders, the Majority Term A Lenders, or the Majority Term B Lenders, as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.03 each Lender (including each Additional Lender) that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent (or made available) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.

10.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Lenders in accordance with Article IX; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

10.06 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, the value of and title to any Collateral, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to any Loan Party hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Loan Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Holdings or any Subsidiary which may come into the possession of any of the Administrative Agent Related Persons.

10.07 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company or Holdings and without limiting the obligation of the Company and Holdings to do so), in accordance with the Lenders’ Proportionate Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Administrative Agent Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent they are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative 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, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Holdings and the Company. The undertaking in this Section 10.07 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, the payment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

10.08 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Holdings and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Holdings or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Holdings or such Subsidiary or Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer.

10.09 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Holdings, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.04 and Section 11.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.

10.10 Withholding Tax. (a) If any Lender is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code and such Lender claims exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Lender agrees with and in favor of the Administrative Agent, to deliver to the Administrative Agent:

(i) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN before the payment of any interest or fees in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest or fees in each third succeeding calendar year during which interest or fees may be paid under this Agreement;

(ii) if such Lender claims that interest or fees paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before the payment of any interest or fees is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and in each succeeding taxable year of such Lender during which interest or fees may be paid under this Agreement; and

(iii) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax.

Such Lender agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(b) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W 8BEN and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Holdings owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Holdings owing to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, the Administrative Agent will treat such Lender’s IRS Form W 8BEN as no longer valid.

(c) If any Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W 8ECI with the Administrative Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Holdings owing to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(d) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. However, if the forms or other documentation required by subsection (a) of this section are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction.

(e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this section, together with all costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, the payment of all other Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

(f) (i) Each Lender party to this Agreement as of the Effective Date represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Holdings as of the Effective Date and (ii) each Additional Lender party to this Agreement as of each Subsequent Effective Date represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Holdings as of the relevant Subsequent Effective Date, that under applicable law and treaties no tax is required to be withheld by Holdings or the Administrative Agent with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender hereunder.

10.11 Collateral Matters.

(b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations known to the Administrative Agent and payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder; (iii) constituting property in which Holdings or any Subsidiary owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to Holdings or any Subsidiary in a transaction permitted under this Agreement; (v) consisting of an instrument evidencing Indebtedness or other debt instrument, if the indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; (vi) constituting real property to be excluded from the Collateral pursuant to matters arising under Section 7.15; or (vii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders or all the Lenders, as the case may be, as provided in Section 11.01(l).

104

(ii) In no event shall any site visit, observation, or testing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any contractee of the Administrative Agent or any Lender) be deemed a representation or warranty that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on, or under, the site, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Environmental Law. Neither Holdings nor any other Person is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation, or testing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender owes any duty of care to protect Holdings or any other Person against, or to inform Holdings or any other Person of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse condition affecting any site or property. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to disclose to Holdings or any other Person any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation, or testing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) The obligations in this section shall survive payment of all other Obligations. At the election of any Indemnified Person, Holdings shall defend such Indemnified Person using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Person’s sole discretion, at the sole cost and expense of Holdings. All amounts owing under this Section 11.05(c) shall be paid within thirty (30) days after demand.

11.06 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Holdings or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

11.07 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that a Loan Party may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

105

11.08 Assignments, Participations, Etc. (a) Any Lender may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender, and in the case of an assignment of Revolving Loans, Holdings (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld), at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitment, the L/C Obligations and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that (i) no written consent of Holdings shall be required during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default; (ii) no written consent of Holdings or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Eligible Assignee that is another Lender or an Affiliate of such assigning Lender or within the same “family of funds” as such assigning Lender, provided that if the proposed Assignee is another Lender, the Lender seeking to assign its interests hereunder shall consult with Holdings and the Administrative Agent before entering into such assignment; (iii) except in connection with an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to its Commitment, Loans and L/C Obligations, any such assignment to an Eligible Assignee that is not a Lender hereunder shall be equal to or greater than $1,000,000; and (iv) each such partial assignment shall be of a ratable part of the Loans, the Commitment and the other interests, rights and obligations hereunder of such assigning Lender; and provided further, however, that Holdings and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (A) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to Holdings and the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E (“Assignment and Acceptance”), together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment; (B) a written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, in substantially the form of the Notice of Assignment and Acceptance attached as Schedule 1 to the Assignment and Acceptance, shall have been given to Holdings and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (C) the assignor Lender or Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (it being understood that with respect to an assignment to more than one Eligible Assignee within the same “family of funds” or by more than one Lender within the same “family of funds” to a single Eligible Assignee, only one such processing fee is payable for the series of simultaneous assignments) and (D) the Administrative Agent, Holdings, the L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender each shall have provided any required consent to such assignment in accordance with this Section 11.08(a). In connection with any assignment by ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo, its Swingline Commitment may be assigned in whole (and not part) and only in connection with an assignment transaction involving an assignment of all of its Commitment and Loans, and the Assignment and Acceptance may be appropriately modified to include an assignment and delegation of its Swingline Commitment and any outstanding Swingline Loans.

(b) From and after the date that the Administrative Agent notifies the assignor Lender that the Administrative Agent has received (and, if required, provided its consent with respect thereto and received any other consents required under this Section 11.08) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, (ii) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments, Loans and L/C Obligations arising therefrom, and (iii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that the assignor Lender shall not relinquish its rights under Article IV or under Section 11.04 and Section 11.05 to the extent such rights relate to the time prior to the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance. The Commitment, Loans and L/C Obligations allocated to each Assignee shall reduce the Commitment, Loans and L/C Obligations of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

106

(c) Within five (5) Business Days after Holding’s receipt of notice by the Administrative Agent that it has received (and, if necessary, consented to) an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee (and provided that the L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender and Holdings each consent to such assignment in accordance with Section 11.08(a)), Holdings shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any new Note requested by such Assignee evidencing such Assignee’s assigned Loans and Commitment and, if the assignor Lender has retained a portion of its Loans and its Commitment, replacement Notes as requested by the assignor Lender evidencing the Loans and Commitment retained by the assignor Lender (such Note to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Note held by such Lender, if any).

(d) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of Holdings (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Holdings, the L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver would require unanimous consent of the Lenders as described in the first proviso to Section 11.01. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 4.01, 4.03 and 11.05 as though it were also a Lender hereunder, and except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

107

(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 11.08 to the contrary, no registration or processing fee shall be payable in connection with any assignment by ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo.

11.09 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to take and to cause its Affiliates to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information identified as “confidential” or “secret” by Holdings or the Company and provided to it by Holdings, the Company or any Subsidiary, or by the Administrative Agent on Holdings’, the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with Holdings, the Company or any Subsidiary; except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Lender, or (ii) was or becomes available on a non confidential basis from a source other than Holdings or the Company, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with Holdings or the Company known to such Lender; provided, however, that any Lender may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which such Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to such Lender’s independent auditors, legal counsel and other professional advisors; (G) to any pledgee referred to in Section 11.08(e) or any Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, or any actual or proposed contractual counterparty (or its advisors) to any securitization, hedge, or other derivative transaction relating to the parties’ obligations hereunder, provided that such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder; (H) as to any Lender or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which Holdings, the Company or any Subsidiary is party or is deemed party with such Lender or such Affiliate; and (I) to its Affiliates and provided, further, however, that the parties hereto (and each employee, representative or other agent thereof) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the “structure” and “tax aspects” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4T) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such Person relating to such structure and tax aspects, except that, with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning such tax structure or tax aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby as well as other information, this proviso shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to such tax structure or tax aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.10 Set off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Loan Party, any such notice being waived by such Loan Party to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of such Loan Party against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE, OR ATTEMPT TO EXERCISE, ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE, AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF HOLDINGS OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OF HOLDINGS HELD OR MAINTAINED BY THE LENDER WITHOUT THE UNANIMOUS PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE LENDERS.

Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Holdings that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Holdings, which information includes the name and address of Holdings and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Holdings in accordance with the Act.

(b) Separate Obligation. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees (i) that the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and distinct from any indebtedness, obligations or liabilities arising under or in connection with any other agreement, instrument or guaranty, including under any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 11.12, executed at any time by such Guarantor in favor of any Guaranteed Person, and (ii) such Guarantor shall pay and perform all of the Guaranteed Obligations as required under this Section 11.12, and each Guaranteed Person may enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder, without regard to any other agreement, instrument or guaranty, including any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 11.12, at any time executed by such Guarantor in favor of any Guaranteed Person, regardless of whether or not any such other agreement, instrument or guaranty, or any provision thereof or hereof, shall for any reason become unenforceable or any of the indebtedness, obligations or liabilities thereunder or hereunder shall have been discharged, whether by performance, avoidance or otherwise. Each Guarantor acknowledges that in providing benefits to Holdings and such Guarantor, the Guaranteed Persons are relying upon the enforceability of this Section 11.12 and the Guaranteed Obligations as separate and distinct indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor, and each Guarantor agrees that each Guaranteed Person would be denied the full benefit of their bargain if at any time this Section 11.12 or the Guaranteed Obligations were treated any differently. The fact that the Guaranty of each Guarantor is set forth in this Agreement rather than in a separate guaranty document is for the convenience of Holdings and the Guarantors and shall in no way impair or adversely affect the rights or benefits of any Guaranteed Person under this Section 11.12. Each Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver a separate agreement, immediately upon request at any time of any Guaranteed Person, evidencing such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 11.12. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a separate action or actions may be brought against each Guarantor, whether or not Holdings or any other Guarantor or Person is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Holdings or any other Guarantor or Person.

(c) Limitation of Guaranty. To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall impose by final judgment under applicable law (including the California Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and §§544 and 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) any limitations on the amount of any Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations which any Guaranteed Person can enforce under this Section 11.12, each Guaranteed Person by its acceptance hereof accepts such limitation on the amount of such Guarantor’s liability hereunder to the extent needed to make this Section 11.12 fully enforceable and nonavoidable.

(d) Liability of Guarantor. The liability of each Guarantor under this Section 11.12 shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance which might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(i) such Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon any Guaranteed Person’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against Holdings or any other Person, or against any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectibility;

110

(iii) such Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and

(iv) such Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall such Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:

(A) any Insolvency Proceeding;

(B) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of Holdings or any other guarantor or Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents;

(C) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of Holdings or any other Guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of Holdings or any other Guarantor or other Person;

(D) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of any Guaranteed Person’s interests in and rights under this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents;

(E) any claim, defense, counterclaim or set-off, other than that of prior performance, that Holdings, such Guarantor, any other guarantor or other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the Loan Documents;

(F) any Guaranteed Person’s amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document or any Guaranteed Obligations;

(G) any Guaranteed Person’s exercise or nonexercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral;

(H) any Guaranteed Person’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any Insolvency Proceeding; or

(I) any other guaranty, whether by any Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any Guaranteed Person.

(e) Consents of Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from such Guarantor:

(i) the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of Holdings under the Loan Documents may be incurred and the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document be extended or changed, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

111

(ii) the time for Holdings’ (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as any Guaranteed Person (or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be) may deem proper;

(iii) each Guaranteed Person may request and accept other guarantees and may take and hold other security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof;

(iv) each Guaranteed Person may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Guarantor against Holdings.

(f) Guarantor’s Waivers. Each Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:

(i) any right to require the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender to marshal assets in favor of Holdings, the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against Holdings, any other guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral, to give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of personal property security constituting the Collateral or other collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or comply with any other provisions of Chapter 6 of Division 9 of the UCC (or any equivalent provision of any other applicable law) or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender whatsoever;

(ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iii) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of Holdings, such Guarantor or any other Person;

(iv) any defense based upon any Guaranteed Person’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

(vi) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Section 11.12;

112

(vii) any defense based upon an election of remedies (including, if available, an election to proceed by nonjudicial foreclosure) which destroys or impairs the subrogation rights of such Guarantor or the right of such Guarantor to proceed against Holdings or any other obligor of the Guaranteed Obligations for reimbursement;

(viii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Section 11.12, including any and all benefits that otherwise might be available to such Guarantor under California Civil Code §§1432, 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure §§580a, 580b, 580d and 726 or Texas Property Code §§51.003 - 51.005. Accordingly, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because Holdings’ debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (A) the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by Holdings or such Guarantor; and (B) if the Administrative Agent forecloses on any real property Collateral pledged by Holdings or such Guarantor: (1) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders may collect from such Guarantor even if the Administrative Agent, by foreclosing on the real property Collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from Holdings. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Guarantor may have because Holdings’ debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights of defenses based upon section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or sections 51.003 - 51.005 of the Texas Property Code; and

(ix) any and all notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by any Guaranteed Person upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon Holdings, such Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(g) Financial Condition of Holdings. No Guarantor shall have any right to require any Guaranteed Person to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: the financial condition or character of Holdings or the ability of Holdings to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations; the Guaranteed Obligations; any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; any action or inaction on the part of any Guaranteed Person or any other Person; or any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has undertaken its own independent investigation of the financial condition of Holdings and the other Loan Parties and all other matters pertaining to this Guaranty and further acknowledges that it is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of any Guaranteed Person with respect thereto.

113

(h) Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full and the Commitments shall be terminated, each Guarantor shall not have, and shall not directly or indirectly exercise (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Section 11.12, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Section 11.12 or (iii) any other right which it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) which could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of any Guaranteed Person as against Holdings or other guarantors, whether in connection with this Section 11.12, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of each Guaranteed Person and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

(i) Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Guarantor until termination of the Commitments and payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist.

(j) Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of Holdings (or receipt of any proceeds of collateral) shall be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to Holdings, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under the Bankruptcy Code or other state or federal law), or must otherwise be restored by any Guaranteed Person, whether as a result of Insolvency Proceedings or otherwise. All losses, damages, costs and expenses that any Guaranteed Person may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments shall be specifically covered by the indemnity in favor of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent contained in Section 11.05.

(k) Substantial Benefits. The funds that have been borrowed from the Lenders by Holdings have been and are to be contemporaneously used for the direct or indirect benefit of Holdings and each Guarantor. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that Holdings and each Guarantor have derived and will derive significant and substantial direct or indirect benefits from the accommodations that have been made by the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

114

(l) Knowing and Explicit Waivers. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT EITHER HAS OBTAINED THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN SUCH ADVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.12. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN ARE MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, AND THAT ALL SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS HEREIN ARE EXPLICIT AND KNOWING AND WHICH EACH GUARANTOR EXPECTS TO BE FULLY ENFORCEABLE.

(m) Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. Holdings may at any time deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate from a Responsible Officer of Holdings certifying as of the date of the certificate that, after the consummation of the transaction or series of transactions described in such certificate (which certification shall also state that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will be in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including to the extent applicable Section 8.02 and Section 8.03, and that no Event of Default existed, exists or will exist, as the case may be, immediately before, as a result of or immediately after giving effect to such transaction or transactions and termination), the Guarantor identified in such certification will no longer be a Subsidiary of Holdings. Effective upon the consummation of the transaction or series of transactions described in such certificate, the Subsidiary identified in such certification shall thereupon automatically cease to be a Guarantor hereunder and shall cease to be a party hereto and shall thereupon automatically be released from its obligations under this Section 11.12 and under the Security Agreement, and all Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Collateral Documents in respect of the property of such Subsidiary shall thereupon terminate. Holdings shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the consummation of any such transaction or series of transactions. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall, at Holdings’ expense, execute and deliver such instruments as Holdings may reasonably request to evidence such release and Lien termination.

11.13 Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to such Lender should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

11.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.

11.15 Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

11.16 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of Holdings, the Company, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent-Related Persons, the Indemnified Persons and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

115

11.17 Governing Law and Jurisdiction. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA; PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR OF THE UNITED STATES SITTING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. THE LOAN PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS EACH WAIVE PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY CALIFORNIA LAW.

11.18 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE LOAN PARTIES, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE LOAN PARTIES, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

116

11.19 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the Loan Parties, the L/C Issuer, the Swingline Lender, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

11.20 Treatment of Existing Credit Agreement. On the Effective Date, all loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be purchased by the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.01, and all outstanding letters of credit issued under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under this Agreement (and all accrued unpaid fees thereon shall begin to accrue at the rates set forth in this Agreement). On and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall amend, restate and supersede in its entirety and replace the Existing Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not (a) operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Existing Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other related documents, except to the extent expressly waived in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) extinguish, impair or constitute a novation of any obligations of Holdings or the Guarantors under the Existing Credit Agreement or the related documents except to the extent any such obligation is actually satisfied by Holdings or a Guarantor thereunder or (c) extinguish or impair any indemnification or similar rights under the Existing Credit Agreement which by their terms would survive the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement. Promptly upon the closing of this Agreement and the receipt by the Lenders of their respective Notes, such Lenders that were also Existing Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement shall return to Holdings any Notes delivered to such Existing Lender in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement marked “cancelled”.

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders from time to time, and in any event not less often than annually, each Grantor shall furnish the Administrative Agent with full information as to the insurance carved by it and, if so requested, copies of all such insurance policies. All insurance policies required under this subsection (t) shall provide that they shall not be terminated or cancelled nor shall any such policy be materially changed without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Grantor and the Administrative Agent (or 10 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative Agent consents to such shorter notice).

Exhibit I
19

All such insurance proceeds may be retained by the Administrative Agent as part of Collateral hereunder and held in the Proceeds Account, applied by the Administrative Agent toward payment of all or part of the Secured Obligations in such order as is provided herein, or released to such Grantor upon its request with the consent of the Majority Lenders.

(u) Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor will promptly notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of any commercial tort claim which is filed by such Grantor, or in which such Grantor obtains any beneficial right or interest, after the date hereof or which are not listed on Exhibit A.

SECTION 6. Administration of the Rights to Payment and Pledged Collateral.

(a) Collection of Rights to Payment. Until the Administrative Agent exercises its rights hereunder to collect Rights to Payment, each Grantor shall endeavor in the first instance diligently to collect all amounts due or to become due on or with respect to the Rights to Payment. At the request of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders, upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, all remittances received by any Grantor shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and, in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions, remitted to the Administrative Agent or deposited to an account with the Administrative Agent in the form received (with any necessary endorsements or instruments of assignment or transfer).

Exhibit I
20

(b) Investment Property and Instruments. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any cash dividend on or other cash distribution, if any, in respect of the Pledged Collateral, to the extent consistent with the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that, except in connection with transactions permitted under Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall not be entitled to receive (i) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for or in substitution of, any Pledged Collateral, or (ii) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution of such Grantor or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus or any other type of recapitalization. At the request of the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders, during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive all distributions and payments of any nature with respect to any Investment Property or Instruments, and all such distributions or payments received by any Grantor shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent and, in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions, remitted to the Administrative Agent or deposited to an account with the Administrative Agent in the form received (with any necessary endorsements or instruments of assignment or transfer). Following the occurrence of an Event of Default any such distributions and payments with respect to any Investment Property held in any securities account shall be held and retained in such securities account, in each case as part of the Collateral hereunder. Additionally, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, following prior written notice to any Grantor, to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers with respect to any Investment Property, Pledged Debt and Instruments, and to exercise all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining thereto, as if the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to exercise any of the foregoing rights afforded to it and shall not be responsible to any Grantor or any other Person for any failure to do so or delay in doing so.

(c) Voting Prior to an Event of Default. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing each Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Collateral and to give consents, ratifications and waivers in respect thereof, and shall retain the power to control the direction, management and policies of any Person comprising the Pledged Collateral to the same extent as such Grantor would if the Pledged Collateral were not pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would have the effect of materially impairing the position or interest of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties in respect of the Pledged Collateral or which would alter the voting rights with respect to the stock or other ownership interest in or of any such Person or be inconsistent with or violate any provision of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents. If applicable, such Grantor shall be deemed the beneficial owner of all Pledged Collateral for purposes of Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act and agrees to file all reports required to be filed by beneficial owners of securities thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this subsection (c) and to receive the distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to this subsection (c).

Exhibit I
21

(d) General Authority upon an Event of Default. During the continuance of any Event of Default:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive all distributions and payments of any nature with respect to the Pledged Collateral, to be held by the Administrative Agent as part of the Pledged Collateral; and

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right following prior written notice to the Grantor to vote or consent to take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral and exercise all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Collateral, as if the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof.

(e) Distributions to Be Held for Administrative Agent. Distributions and other payments which are received by the Grantor but which it is not entitled to retain as a result of the operation of this Section 6 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor, and be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received.

(f) Certain Other Administrative Matters. The Administrative Agent may cause any of the Pledged Collateral to be transferred into its name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (subject to the revocable rights specified in this Section 6) if, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or desirable to protect or exercise the Administrative Agent’s rights and interests hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall at all times have the right to exchange uncertificated Pledged Collateral for certificated Pledged Collateral, and to exchange certificated Pledged Collateral for certificates of larger or smaller denominations, for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.

SECTION 7. Authorization; Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to, in the name of any Grantor, or in the name of the Administrative Agent or otherwise, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and any of the Administrative Agent’s officers or employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to:

(i) sign any of the financing statements which must be executed or filed to perfect or continue perfected, maintain the priority of or provide notice of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and file any such financing statements by electronic means with or without a signature as authorized or required by applicable law or filing procedures;

(v) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Grantor (provided that the Administrative Agent agrees it will promptly deliver over to such Grantors any mail that does not relate to the Collateral);

(vi) send requests for verification of Rights to Payment to the customers or other obligors of any Grantor;

(vii) contact, or direct any Grantor to contact, all account debtors and other obligors on the Rights to Payment and instruct such account debtors and other obligors to make all payments directly to the Administrative Agent;

(xv) execute any and all such other documents and instruments, and do any and all acts and things for and on behalf of any Grantor, which the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders may deem necessary or advisable (A) to realize upon the Collateral, and (B) to maintain, protect and preserve the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent agrees that, except upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, it shall not exercise the power of attorney, or any rights granted to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to clauses (ii) through (xiii), (xiv)(A) and (xv)(A). The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as the Lenders have any Commitments or any Letter of Credit remains outstanding or the Secured Obligations have not been paid and performed in full. Each Grantor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that the Administrative Agent shall lawfully and in good faith do or cause to be done by virtue of and in compliance with this Section 7.

Exhibit I
24

SECTION 10. Remedies.

(a) Remedies. During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that:

(i) The Administrative Agent may peaceably and without notice enter any premises of any Grantor, take possession of any Collateral, remove or dispose of all or part of the Collateral on any premises of any Grantor or elsewhere, or, in the case of Equipment, render it nonfunctional, and otherwise collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, and demand, give receipt for, settle, renew, extend, exchange, compromise, adjust, or ▇▇▇ for all or any part of the Collateral, as the Administrative Agent may determine.

(ii) The Administrative Agent may require any Grantor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent, at any place and time designated by the Administrative Agent.

(iii) The Administrative Agent may use or transfer any of any Grantor’s rights and interests in any Intellectual Property Collateral, by license, by sublicense (to the extent permitted by an applicable license) or otherwise, on such conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent may determine.

(iv) The Administrative Agent may secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof (to the extent and in the manner provided by applicable law).

(v) The Administrative Agent may withdraw (or cause to be withdrawn) any and all funds from any Deposit Accounts or securities accounts.

(vi) The Administrative Agent may sell, resell, lease, use, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of any Grantor’s assets, without charge or liability to the Administrative Agent therefor) at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, for cash or credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, all as the Administrative Agent deems advisable; provided, however, that such Grantor shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption each Grantor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by law. Each Grantor hereby agrees that the sending of notice by ordinary mail, postage prepaid, to the address of such Grantor set forth in the Credit Agreement, of the place and time of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made, shall be deemed reasonable notice thereof if such notice is sent ten days prior to the date of such sale or other disposition or the date on or after which such sale or other disposition may occur, provided that the Administrative Agent may provide any Grantor shorter notice or no notice, to the extent permitted by the UCC or other applicable law. Each Grantor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to make a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral, by reason of prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws or otherwise, and expressly agrees that a private sale to a restricted group of purchasers for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale.

Exhibit I
25

(b) License. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 10 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive and assignable license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property Collateral.

(c) Proceeds Account. To the extent that any of the Secured Obligations may be contingent, unmatured or unliquidated at such time as there may exist an Event of Default (including with respect to undrawn amounts under any Letter of Credit), the Administrative Agent may, at its election (in accordance with the direction of the Majority Lenders), (i) retain the proceeds of any sale, collection, disposition or other realization upon the Collateral (or any portion thereof) in a special purpose non-interest-bearing restricted deposit account (the “Proceeds Account”) created and maintained by the Administrative Agent for such purpose (which shall constitute a Deposit Account included within the Collateral hereunder) until such time as the Administrative Agent may elect to apply such proceeds to the Secured Obligations, and each Grantor agrees that such retention of such proceeds by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed strict foreclosure with respect thereto; (ii) in any manner elected by the Administrative Agent, estimate the liquidated amount of any such contingent, unmatured or unliquidated claims and apply the proceeds of the Collateral against such amount; or (iii) otherwise proceed in any manner permitted by applicable law. Each Grantor agrees that the Proceeds Account shall be a blocked account and that upon the irrevocable deposit of funds into the Proceeds Account, such Grantor shall not have any right of withdrawal with respect to such funds. Accordingly, each Grantor irrevocably waives until the termination of the security interests granted under this Agreement in accordance with Section 22 the right to make any withdrawal from the Proceeds Account and the right to instruct the Administrative Agent to honor drafts against the Proceeds Account.

Exhibit I
26

(d) Application of Proceeds. Subject to subsection (c), cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral, and any other amounts received in respect of the Collateral the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8 or Section 14) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against all or any part of the Secured Obligations in the following order: (i) first, to any fees due under the Loan Documents; (ii) next, to any interest due under the Loan Documents; and (iii) last, to any principal due under the Loan Documents and to any other Secured Obligations. Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations shall be promptly paid over to Holdings and the Company or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable law. Each Grantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties for any deficiency which exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral.

(e) Actions by the Administrative Agent. In taking any action under this Section 10 or otherwise taking action as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and exercising such powers and performing such duties under this Agreement as are granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act in each case in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that, without the consent of all Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall not, and may not be directed to, release any of the Collateral or terminate this Agreement, except in connection with a sale or other disposition of Collateral under this Section 10, as otherwise contemplated or permitted hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or as contemplated by Section 22 hereof.

SECTION 11. Certain Waivers. Each Grantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Secured Obligations; (ii) any right to require the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (A) to proceed against any Person, (B) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Secured Obligations, (C) to pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or any of the Lenders’ power, or (D) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Collateral; and (iii) all claims, damages, and demands against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral.

SECTION 12. Notices. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be given in the manner and to the addresses specified in, and shall be effective as provided in, the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 13. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

C. The Collateral Agent, the Company and Securities Intermediary are entering into this Agreement to provide for the control of the Account and to perfect the security interest of the Collateral Agent, for itself and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in the Account.

Exhibit I
41

ACCORDINGLY, the Collateral Agent, the Company and Securities Intermediary hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. The Account. Securities Intermediary hereby represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, and the Company that (a) the Account has been established in the name of the Company as recited above, (b) the copy of the Customer Agreement heretofore delivered to the Collateral Agent is a true, correct and complete copy of the Customer Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, (c) Schedule 1 attached hereto is a complete and accurate statement of the Account and the financial assets carried therein and any free credit balance thereunder as of the date thereof, (d) Schedule 1 does not reflect any financial assets which are registered in the name of the Company, payable to its order, or specially endorsed to hires which have not been endorsed to Securities Intermediary or in blank, (e) the security entitlements arising out of the financial assets carried in the Account and such free credit balance are valid and legally binding obligations of Securities Intermediary, and (f) except for the claims and interest of the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Company in the Account (subject to any claim in favor of Securities Intermediary permitted under Section 2), Securities Intermediary does not know of any claim to or interest in the Account. Securities Intermediary will treat all property held by it in the Account as financial assets under Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of California.

SECTION 2. Priority of Lien. Securities Intermediary hereby acknowledges the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent by the Company. Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that the Account is a cash account and that it will not advance any margin or other credit to the Company therein, either directly by executing purchase orders in excess of any credit balance or money market mutual funds held in the Account, by executing sell orders on securities not held in the Account or by allowing the Company to trade in instruments such as options and commodities contracts that create similar obligations, nor will it hypothecate any securities carried in the Account. Securities Intermediary hereby waives and releases all liens, encumbrances, claims and rights of setoff it may have against the Account or any financial asset carried in the Account or any credit balance in the Account and agrees that, except for payment of its customary fees and commission pursuant to the Customer Agreement, it will not assert any such lien, encumbrance, claim or right against the Account or any financial asset carried in the Account or any credit balance in the Account. Securities Intermediary will not agree with any third party that Securities Intermediary will comply with entitlement orders concerning the Account originated by such third party without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the Company.

SECTION 3. Control. Securities Intermediary will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Agent concerning the Account without further consent by the Company. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2 above and 4 below, Securities Intermediary shall make trades of financial assets held in the Account at the direction of the Company, or its authorized representatives, and comply with entitlement orders concerning the Account from the Company, or its authorized representatives, until such time as the Collateral Agent delivers a written notice to Securities Intermediary stating that (a) an Event of Default under and as defined in the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing and (b) from and after such Event of Default, the Collateral Agent is assuming exclusive control over the Account. Such notice may be referred to herein as the “Notice of Exclusive Control.” After Securities Intermediary receives the Notice of Exclusive Control, it will immediately cease complying with entitlement orders or other directions concerning the Account originated by the Company or its representatives.

Exhibit I
42

SECTION 4. No Withdrawals. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 above, Securities Intermediary shall neither accept nor comply with any entitlement order from the Company withdrawing any financial assets from the Account nor deliver any such financial assets to the Company nor pay any free credit balance or other amount owing from Securities Intermediary to the Company with respect to the Account without the specific prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5. Statements, Confirmations and Notices of Adverse Claims. Securities Intermediary will send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Account simultaneously to the Company and the Collateral Agent at their respective addresses set forth in Schedule 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against the Account or in any financial asset carried therein, Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Company thereof.

SECTION 6. Responsibility of Securities Intermediary. Except for permitting a withdrawal or payment in violation of Section 4 above or advancing margin or over credit to the Company in violation of Section 2 above, Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility or liability to the Collateral Agent for making trades of financial assets held in the Account at the direction of the Company, or its authorized representatives, or complying with entitlement orders concerning the Account from the Company, or its authorized representatives, which are received by Securities Intermediary before Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Exclusive Control. Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or complying with entitlement orders concerning the Account originated by the Collateral Agent. Securities Intermediary shall have no duty to investigate or make any determination as to whether a default exists under any agreement between the Company and the Collateral Agent and shall comply with a Notice of Exclusive Control even if it believes that no such default exists. This Agreement does not create any obligation or duty of Securities Intermediary other than those expressly set forth herein.

SECTION 7. Tax Reporting. All items of income, gain, expense and loss recognized in the Account shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Company.

SECTION 8. Customer Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any other agreement between Securities Intermediary and the Company, including, without limitation, the Customer Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. Regardless of any provision in any such agreement, California shall be deemed to be Securities Intermediary’s location for the purposes of this Agreement and the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Account.

Exhibit I
43

SECTION 9. Termination. The rights and powers granted herein to the Collateral Agent have been granted in order to perfect its security interest in the Account, are powers coupled with an interest and will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of either Holdings nor the Company nor by the lapse of time. The obligations of Securities Intermediary under Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 above shall continue in effect until the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Account has been terminated and the Collateral Agent has notified Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing. Upon receipt of such notice the obligations of Securities Intermediary under Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 above with respect to the operation and maintenance of the Account after the receipt of such notice shall terminate, the Collateral Agent shall have a further right to originate entitlement orders concerning the Account and Securities Intermediary may take such steps as Holdings or the Company may request to vest full ownership and control of the Account in the Company, including, but not limited to, transferring all of the financial assets and credit balances in the Account to another securities account in the name of the Company or its designee.
