          AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of January 25, 2002 and as amended and restated as of December 19, 2005 among COINMACH LAUNDRY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), COINMACH CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, the Subsidiary Guarantors listed on the signature page hereto, the lending institutions from time to time party hereto (each, a “Bank” and, collectively, the “Banks”), DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC., as Joint Lead Arranger and Book Manager, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ SECURITIES INC., as Joint Lead Arranger, Book Manager, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as sole Syndication Agent and FIRST UNION SECURITIES, INC., as Original Syndication Agent, and CREDIT LYONNAIS NEW YORK BRANCH, as Original Documentation Agent. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein and defined in Section 11 are used herein as therein defined.

W I T N E S S E T H :

          WHEREAS, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Banks are willing to make available to the Borrower the respective credit facilities provided for herein; and

          WHEREAS, the Borrower intends to prepay its Tranche B Term Loans under the Original Credit Agreement with the proceeds from the Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans; and

          WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend that (a) the Obligations under the Original Credit Agreement that remain unpaid and outstanding as of the Amendment Effective Date shall continue to exist under this Agreement on the terms set forth herein, (b) the loans under the Original Credit Agreement (other than the Tranche B Term Loans) outstanding as of the Amendment Effective Date shall be Loans under and as defined in this Agreement on the terms set forth herein, (c) any letters of credit outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement as of the Amendment Effective Date shall be Letters of Credit under and as defined in this Agreement, (d) the Security Documents shall continue to secure, guarantee, support and otherwise benefit the Obligations under the Original Credit Agreement as well as the other Obligations of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Obligations in respect of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans) and the other Credit Documents and (e) all schedules and exhibits to the Original Credit Agreement shall be incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis, except for and to the extent that Exhibits B-2 and D are expressly amended and restated in connection herewith and Exhibit B-1 and Schedule 8.11 to the Original Credit Agreement are deleted in their entirety;

          NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

          SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.

          1.01 The Commitments.

          (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Bank with an Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment (collectively, the “Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loan Banks”) severally agrees to make on the Amendment Effective Date a term loan (each such term loan, an “Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans”) to the Borrower, which Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans (i) shall be made and initially maintained as a single Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the option to convert such Tranche B-1 Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.07); provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.11(b), all Tranche B-1 Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, and (ii) shall equal for each Bank, in initial aggregate principal amount, an amount which equals the Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment of such Bank on the Amendment Effective Date (before giving effect to any reductions thereto

on such date pursuant to Section 3.03(a)). Once repaid, Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

          (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Bank with a Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment (collectively, the “Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Banks” and, together with the Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loan Banks, the “Tranche B-1 Term Loan Banks”) severally agrees to make on a Business Day on or before February 28, 2006 (such date, the “Second Draw Date”) a term loan (each such term loan, a “Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loans” and together with the Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans, the “Tranche B-1 Term Loans”) to the Borrower, which Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loans (i) shall be made and initially maintained as a single Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (subject to the option to convert such Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loans pursuant to Section 1.07); provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.11(b), all Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, and (ii) shall equal for each Bank, in initial aggregate principal amount, an amount which equals the Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment of such Bank on the Second Draw Date (before giving effect to any reductions thereto on such date pursuant to Section 3.03(b)). Once repaid, Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.

          (c) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Bank with a Revolving Loan Commitment (“Revolving Loan Banks”) severally agrees, at any time and from time to time prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, to make a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, which Revolving Loans (i) shall, at the option of the Borrower, be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans; provided that except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.11(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, and provided, further, that if made on the Original Effective Date or the three subsequent Business Days, as Base Rate Loans (subject to the option to convert such Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 1.07), (ii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iii) shall not exceed for any Bank at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when added to the product of (y) such Bank’s Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage and (z) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Outstandings plus all Swingline Loans then outstanding (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings and Swingline Loans which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time, equals the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Bank at such time and (iv) shall not exceed for all Banks at any time outstanding that aggregate principal amount which, when added to the amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding and all Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Revolving Loans) at such time, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect.

          (d) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, DBTCA agrees to make at any time and from time to time prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a loan or loans to the Borrower (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”), which Swingline Loans (i) shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (ii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iii) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, when combined with the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding and the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings relating to Letters of Credit which are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, the respective incurrence of Swingline Loans or Revolving Loans) at such time, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect and (iv) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum

Swingline Amount. DBTCA shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Bank Default exists unless DBTCA has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate DBTCA’s risk with respect to each Bank’s (including any Defaulting Bank’s) participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Bank’s or Banks’ Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans. DBTCA will not make a Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from the Borrower or the Required Banks stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as DBTCA shall have received a written notice of (i) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering the same or (ii) a waiver of such Default or Event of Default from the Required Banks.

          (e) On any Business Day, DBTCA may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Revolving Loan Banks and the Borrower that all outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (provided that each such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 10), in which case a Borrowing of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Revolving Loan Banks pro rata based on each Bank’s Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to repay DBTCA for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Loan Bank hereby irrevocably agrees to make Base Rate Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by DBTCA notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount of each Borrowing pursuant to Section 1.03 otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing and (v) any reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower), each Revolving Loan Bank (other than DBTCA) hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from DBTCA (without recourse or warranty) such assignment of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Revolving Loan Banks to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Percentages; provided that all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of DBTCA until the date the respective assignment is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased assignment, shall be payable to the Bank purchasing same from and after such date of purchase.

          1.02 Additional Loan Commitments.

          (a) At any time on or after the Amendment Effective Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, request on one or more occasions that the Total Revolving Loan Commitment be increased by, in each such case, not less than $5,000,000 up to an aggregate amount of $25,000,000; provided, further that the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, after giving effect to all such increases, shall not exceed $100,000,000; and provided that none of the Revolving Loan Banks as of the date of such request shall be under any obligation to increase its Revolving Loan Commitment. Such notice shall specify (i) the amount by which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is requested to increase, (ii) the effective date of such requested increase, which date shall not be less than five (5) Business Days nor more than 60 days following the date of such written notice, (iii) the name and contact information of the New Bank or New Banks (which may include one or more existing Banks) the Borrower is requesting provide such increase to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, and (iv) contain a certification

from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower stating that the applicable conditions precedent in Section 6.01 have been met as of the date of such notice.

          (b) If the Borrower has requested that one or more financial institutions that at such time are not Banks hereunder but that shall qualify as Eligible Transferees (each a “New Bank”) provide a requested increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, then such New Bank or New Banks shall be permitted by the Administrative Agent to, and thereafter shall, provide such Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that any increase in Total Revolving Loan Commitment provided by a New Bank shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. Following satisfaction of the notice requirement in clause (a) above and the conditions in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section, upon the effective date set forth in such notice, each New Bank shall thereafter be a Revolving Loan Bank party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges afforded a Revolving Loan Bank hereunder and subject to the obligations of a Revolving Loan Bank hereunder to the extent of its Revolving Loan Commitment. Annex I to this Agreement shall be deemed amended to reflect the increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment caused by the inclusion of the Revolving Loan Commitment of the New Bank or New Banks. Concurrently with the effectiveness of such increase, (i) the New Bank or New Banks shall fund an amount to the Administrative Agent such that, after giving effect thereto and to all prior fundings by such New Bank hereunder (if any), its Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding, together with its pro rata share of outstanding Swingline Loans and Unpaid Drawings, if any (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings and Swingline Loans that are repaid with the proceeds of, and simultaneously with the incurrence of, Revolving Loans), shall be outstanding and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Loan Bank (excluding such New Bank or New Banks) its pro rata share of such funding, in each case so that after giving effect thereto, each Revolving Loan Bank’s, including the New Bank’s or New Banks’, participation in the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Unpaid Drawings, if any, will be pro rata based on its Percentage after giving effect to the adjustments in such Percentages necessary to reflect such increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. Further, the Borrower shall pay to each Revolving Loan Bank all amounts due under Section 1.12 as a result of adding any New Banks.

          (c) Any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is subject to, without limitation, the conditions precedent that the Borrower shall have executed such Revolving Notes and the Borrower, the Banks and the New Banks, if any, shall have executed and delivered such other documentation as shall be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to evidence such increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and the addition of such New Bank as a Bank hereunder.

          1.03 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall not be less than $1,000,000 and, in each case, if greater, shall be, in each case, in an integral multiple of $500,000. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of any Tranche of Revolving Loans shall not be less than $500,000 and, if greater, shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than twelve Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans. The principal amount of each Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall not be less than $250,000 and, if greater, shall be in an integral multiple of $50,000.

          1.04 Notice of Borrowing.

          (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing hereunder (excluding Borrowings of Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), it shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior written (or telephonic promptly confirmed in writing) notice of each Base Rate Loan and at least three Business Days’ prior

written (or telephonic promptly confirmed in writing) notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be made hereunder; provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 12:00 Noon (New York time) on such day (each such written notice or written confirmation of telephonic notice a “Notice of Borrowing”). Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.11, whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, it shall provide DBTCA with a Notice of Borrowing not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the day such Swingline Loan is to be made hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall (x) specify in each case the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (y) be given by the Borrower in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed to specify the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), whether the Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing shall constitute Tranche B-1 Term Loans or Revolving Loans and whether, subject to the other terms and provisions hereof, the Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Bank which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Bank’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

          (b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing of Loans, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing reasonably believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. The Administrative Agent’s or DBTCA’s, as the case may be, record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (c) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 1.01(e), with the Borrower hereby irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section 1.01(e).

          1.05 Disbursement of Funds. No later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Bank with a Commitment of the respective Tranche will make available its pro rata portion of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, DBTCA shall make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts shall be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Banks. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the date of Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Bank, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Bank. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from such Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding

amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Bank, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 1.09. Nothing in this Section 1.05 shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any failure by such Bank to make Loans hereunder.

Failure to make any such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

The Borrower shall also have the option at the end of any Interest Period to continue all or a portion of any Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period. Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least three Business Days’ prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Borrowing(s) pursuant to which such Loans were made and, if to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Bank prompt notice of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice shall not affect the rights or obligations of the Borrower hereunder.

          1.08 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans, Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loans and Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Banks pro rata on the basis of their respective Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitments, Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitments or Revolving Loan Commitments, as the case may be. It is understood that no Bank shall be responsible for any default by any other Bank of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Bank shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Bank to make its Loans hereunder.

          1.09 Interest.

          (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to the Borrower until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 1.07, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate in effect from time to time.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan for each day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Eurodollar Margin plus the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

          (c) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) 2% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche of Loans from time to time and (y) the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by the respective Loans, in each case with such interest to be payable on demand.

          (d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), upon conversion, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

          (e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to Eurodollar Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the applicable Banks thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

          (f) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.07(b).

          1.10 Interest Periods. At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six-month period; provided that:

     (i) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Loan of a different Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

     (ii) if any Interest Period relating to a Eurodollar Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

     (iii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

     (iv) no Interest Period may be selected at any time when a Default or Event of Default is then in existence;

     (v) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans;

     (vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall be selected which extends beyond any date upon which a mandatory repayment of such Tranche B-1 Term Loans will be required to be made under Section 4.02(c) or (d), as the case may be, if the aggregate principal amount of Tranche B-1 Term Loans which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Tranche B-1 Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required prepayment; and

     (vii) until (x) the 30th day following the Amendment Effective Date solely with respect to Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans and (y) the 30^th day following the Second Draw Date solely with respect to Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loans, no Interest Period shall be greater than one month, with any subsequent Interest Periods to begin on the last day of the prior one month Interest Period theretofore in effect.

          If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

          1.11 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

          (a) In the event that any Bank shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

     (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the Original Effective Date affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

     (ii) at any time, that such Bank shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any Change in Law since the Original Effective Date, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in Covered Taxes resulting from the payment to any Bank of the principal of or interest such Eurodollar Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder, but without duplication of any amounts payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to Section 4.04(a), or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (y) other circumstances since the Original Effective Date affecting such Bank or the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Bank in such market; or

     (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Bank in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of

law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Original Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Bank (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Banks). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall at the option of the Borrower (i) be deemed rescinded by the Borrower or (ii) be deemed to constitute a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion to, as applicable, Base Rate Loans, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Bank reasonably in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Bank for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Bank, showing the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Bank in good faith shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, each Eurodollar Loan of the affected Bank(s) shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either on the last day of the then current Interest Period or, if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully maintain and fund such Eurodollar Loan to such day, immediately. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Bank agrees that if it gives notice to the Borrower of any of the events described in clause (i) or (iii) above, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and, in the case of any such Bank, the Administrative Agent, if such event ceases to exist. If any such event described in clause (iii) above ceases to exist as to a Bank, the obligations of such Bank to make Eurodollar Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans on the terms and conditions contained herein shall be reinstated.

          (b) At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Bank pursuant to Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Bank to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided that, if more than one Bank is affected at any time, then all affected Banks must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.11(b).

          (c) If at any time after the Original Effective Date, any Bank determines that the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank based on the existence of such Bank’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to such Bank, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Bank or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Bank or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Bank or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. Such Bank’s reasonable good faith

determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.11(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Bank, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.11(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 1.11(c) upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

          1.12 Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Bank, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the reason for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Bank to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding any loss of anticipated margin or profit) which such Bank may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Bank) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.11(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Bank or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 1.11(b) or Section 1.14. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Bank under this Section 1.12 shall be made as though that Bank had actually funded its relevant Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Loan, having maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of that Bank to a domestic office of that Bank in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Bank may fund each of its Eurodollar Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 1.12.

          1.13 Change of Lending Office. Each Bank agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.11(c), Section 2.05 or Section 4.04 with respect to such Bank, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable good faith efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Bank) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Bank and its lending office suffer no significant economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Bank provided in Sections 1.11, 2.05 and 4.04.

          1.14 Replacement of Banks. (x) If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, (y) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.11(c), Section 2.05 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Bank which results in such Bank charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Banks or becoming incapable of making Eurodollar Loans, or (z) as provided in Section 13.12(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Bank to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Banks, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective replacement, to replace such Bank (the “Replaced Bank”) with one or more other Eligible Transferee or Eligible Transferees,

none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Bank at the time of such replacement, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Replacement Bank”); provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 1.14, the Replacement Bank shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Bank) pursuant to which the Replacement Bank shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and in each case where a Replacement Bank becomes a Revolving Loan Bank participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans by, the Replaced Bank and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Bank in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Bank, (B) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings and Swingline Loans that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Bank, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Bank pursuant to Section 3.01 and (y) DBTCA an amount equal to such Replaced Bank’s Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage (for this purpose, determined as if the adjustment described in clause (y) of the immediately succeeding sentence had been made with respect to such Replaced Bank) of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) or Swingline Loans to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Bank, and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Bank (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 1.12) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Bank concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Bank, delivery to the Replacement Bank of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, (x) the Replacement Bank shall become a Bank hereunder and, unless the respective Replaced Bank continues to have outstanding Tranche B-1 Term Loans hereunder, the Replaced Bank shall cease to constitute a Bank hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2.05, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06) and the other Credit Documents, which shall survive as to such Replaced Bank and (y) the Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentages or Adjusted Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Percentages, as applicable, of the Banks shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement (and to give effect to the replacement of a Defaulting Bank with one or more Non-Defaulting Banks).

          SECTION 2. Letters of Credit.

          2.01 Letters of Credit.

          (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Borrower may request that any Issuing Bank issue, at any time and from time to time prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, an irrevocable standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Bank or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Bank (each such standby letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit”) in support of such L/C Supportable Indebtedness.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of, and prior to the issuance of the respective Letter of Credit) at such time, would exceed either (x) $15,000,000 or (y) when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made by Non-Defaulting Banks and then outstanding, an amount equal to the

Adjusted Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, (ii) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof but not beyond the 10th Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (although any such Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but not beyond the 10th Business Day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date), on terms acceptable to the Issuing Bank thereof) and (iii) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued on a sight basis.

          (c) The letters of credit issued under the Existing Credit Agreement that are outstanding on the Amendment Effective Date shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued on the Amendment Effective Date.

          2.02 Letter of Credit Requests.

          (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Bank at least two Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Bank) written notice thereof. Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C to the Original Credit Agreement (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

          (b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 2.01(b). Unless the respective Issuing Bank has received notice from any Bank before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Sections 5 or 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.01(b), then such Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any amendment thereto, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of such issuance or amendment.

          2.03 Letter of Credit Participations.

          (a) Immediately upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Bank with a Revolving Loan Commitment, other than a Defaulting Bank or such Issuing Bank (each such Bank, in its capacity under this Section 2.03, a “Participant”), and each such Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentages of the Banks pursuant to Section 1.14 or 13.04 or as a result of a Bank Default, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.03 to reflect the new Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentages of the assignor and assignee Bank or of all Banks with Revolving Loan Commitments (other than Defaulting Banks), as the case may be.

          (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the other Banks other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to comply on

their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Bank.

          (c) In the event that any Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(a), such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant, of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Bank the amount of such Participant’s Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to such Issuing Bank in Dollars such Participant’s Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage of the amount of such payment available to such Issuing Bank, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Bank at the overnight Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any Participant to make available to such Issuing Bank its Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Bank its Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage of any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Bank such other Participant’s Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage of any such payment.

          (d) Whenever any Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Bank shall pay to each Participant which has paid its Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentage thereof, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

          (e) Upon the request of any Participant, the Administrative Agent shall furnish to such Participant copies of any Letter of Credit or amendment.

          (f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions

(including any underlying transaction between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

     (iii) any draft, certificate or any 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;

          2.04 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Payments.

          (a) The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the respective Issuing Bank, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by it under any Letter of Credit (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”), no later than one Business Day after the date of such payment or disbursement, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Bank, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Bank was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin for Revolving Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day following such payment or disbursement, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Bank (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on demand. The respective Issuing Bank shall give the Borrower prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

          (b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.04 to reimburse the respective Issuing Bank with respect to drawings on Letters of Credit (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against any Bank (including in its capacity as issuer of the Letter of Credit or as Participant), or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, the respective Issuing Bank’s only obligation to the Borrower being to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability to the Borrower.

          2.05 Increased Costs. If at any time after the Original Effective Date, any Change in Law by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Bank or any Participant with any request or directive by any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in GAAP, shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable

any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Bank or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Bank or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Bank or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Bank or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit, but without duplication of any amounts payable in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 4.04(a), then, upon demand to the Borrower by such Issuing Bank or any Participant (a copy of which demand shall be sent by such Issuing Bank or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Issuing Bank or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Bank or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.05, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Borrower by such Issuing Bank or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Bank or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall, if delivered in good faith and absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower.

          SECTION 3. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

          3.01 Fees.

          (a) (i) The Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Bank with a Revolving Loan Commitment a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from the Effective Date (or in the case of a New Bank, the date as of which such New Bank incurs a Revolving Loan Commitment) to and including the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at a rate equal to the Applicable Percentage on the daily Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Bank. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date or such earlier date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

          (ii) The Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Bank with a Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment (based on their respective Adjusted Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment Percentage) a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) for the period from the Amendment Effective Date to and including the Second Draw Date computed at a rate equal to 1.25% per annum on the Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Bank. Accrued Commitment Fee shall be due and payable on the earliest of (x) the date any Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment is reduced in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof (solely with respect to such reduced Commitment), (y) the Second Draw Date or (z) February 28, 2006.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Bank with a Revolving Loan Commitment (based on their respective Adjusted Revolving Loan Percentages) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Eurodollar Margin for Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time on the daily Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit.

Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated and such Letter of Credit has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

          (d) The Borrower shall pay, upon each drawing under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit, such amounts as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which the respective Issuing Bank is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

          (e) The Borrower shall pay to each of the Agents, for their own respective accounts, such other fees as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower and such Agent, in each case, when and as due.

          (f) All computations of fees hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.07(b).

          (b) In the event of certain refusals by a Bank as provided in Section 13.12(b) to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Banks, and subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b), the Borrower may, upon five Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Banks) terminate all of the Revolving Loan Commitments of such Bank so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Bank (other than amounts owing in respect of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans maintained by such Bank, if such Loans are not being repaid pursuant to Section 13.12(b)) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which

time Annex I shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts), and at such time, unless the respective Bank continues to have outstanding Loans and/or commitments hereunder, such Bank shall no longer constitute a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2.05, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06) and the other Credit Documents, which shall survive as to such repaid Bank.

          3.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.

          (a) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the aggregate Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment (and the Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment of each Bank) shall terminate in its entirety on the Amendment Effective Date (after giving effect to the making of the Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans on such date).

          (b) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the aggregate Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment (and the Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment of each Bank) shall terminate in its entirety on the earlier to occur of the Second Draw Date (after giving effect to the making of the Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loans on such date) or, if the Second Draw Date does not occur on or before February 28, 2006, then February 28, 2006.

          (c) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the applicable Revolving Loan Commitment of each Bank) shall terminate in its entirety on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

          (d) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Swingline Commitment shall terminate in its entirety on the Swingline Expiry Date.

          SECTION 4. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

not be continued as a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the Borrower shall have no force or effect; (iii) prepayments of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to this Section 4.01 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be accompanied by the amounts required under Section 1.12; (iv) each prepayment in respect of any Tranche B-1 Term Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall, except as set forth below, be applied pro rata among such Tranche B-1 Term Loans; and (v) in the event of certain refusals by a Bank as provided in Section 13.12(b) to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Banks, the Borrower may, upon five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (which notice, except in the case of Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Banks) repay all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees, and other amounts owing to such Bank (or owing to such Bank with respect to each Tranche which gave rise to the need to obtain such Bank’s individual consent) in accordance with said Section 13.12(b) so long as (A) in the case of the repayment of Revolving Loans for any Bank pursuant to this clause (v) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Bank is terminated concurrently with such repayment, and (B) the consents required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (v) have been obtained; provided that at the Borrower’s election (and with the consent of the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Bank) in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01, such prepayment shall not be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Bank. Each prepayment of principal of Tranche B-1 Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be applied to reduce, in order of maturity for Scheduled Repayments, the Scheduled Repayments remaining for the next succeeding 12 months (as of the date of such prepayment) of such Tranche B-1 Term Loans and thereafter, to the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of such Tranche B-1 Term Loans pro rata based upon the then remaining principal amount of each Scheduled Repayment.

          (b) On any day on which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans made by any Defaulting Bank exceeds the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Defaulting Bank, the Borrower shall upon prior written notice from such Defaulting Bank prepay principal of Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Bank in an amount equal to such excess.

          (c) [Reserved]

repayment of principal of outstanding Tranche B-1 Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(k) and (l).

          (j) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, solely to the extent the Merger Event has not been consummated on or before June 19, 2006, on each date on or after June 19, 2006, upon which any of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives any proceeds in cash or Cash Equivalents from any capital contribution from or sale or issuance of its equity to any Person (other than (x) Holdings to the extent such proceeds are from a capital contribution from the sale or issuance of equity by any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower to GTCR or (y) the Borrower or its Subsidiaries), an amount equal to 50% of the net proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other costs associated therewith including, without limitation, legal and other professional fees and expenses) of such capital contribution or sale or issuance of its equity shall be applied as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Tranche B-1 Term Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.02(k) and (l); provided that, in addition to the exceptions set forth above, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, the proceeds from any capital contribution or sale or issuance of such equity shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent such proceeds are used to consummate a Permitted Acquisition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no mandatory prepayments shall be required under this Section 4.02(j) at any time on or after the consummation of the Merger Event.

          (k) Any amount required to be applied to Tranche B-1 Term Loans pursuant to Sections 4.02(e), (f), (h), (i) and (j) shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal amount of Tranche B-1 Term Loans then outstanding and, if no Tranche B-1 Term Loans remain outstanding, all such amounts shall be applied to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Loans. The amount of each principal repayment of Tranche B-1 Term Loans made as required by Section 4.02(e), (f), (h), (i) and (j) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments of Tranche B-1 Term Loans pro rata based upon the then remaining principal amount of each Scheduled Repayment.

          (l) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans of the respective Tranche which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings of the respective Tranche pursuant to which made; provided that (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the respective Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base Rate Loans of the respective Tranche have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than (x) in the case of Tranche B-1 Term Loans, $5,000,000 and (y) in the case of Revolving Loans, $1,000,000, such Borrowing shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

          (m) [Reserved]

          (n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, all other then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Loans.

          4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Bank or Banks entitled thereto not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date when due and

shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

          4.04 Net Payments.

          (a) Except as provided in this Section 4.04, all payments made by the Borrower to each Bank or any Agent under this Agreement or under any Note shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and, free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Covered Taxes levied or imposed by any Governmental Authority with respect to such payments. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any current or future stamp, intangible or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including mortgage recording taxes and similar fees but not including any Excluded Taxes) that arise from the execution, delivery or registration of or otherwise with respect to (other than as to any payments, Taxes on which shall be governed by the preceding sentence) this Agreement, or any other document in connection with this Agreement or any Note (all such taxes, charges and levies are hereinafter referred to as, collectively, “Other Taxes”).

          (b) If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Covered Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank or any Agent, then except as provided in this Section 4.04, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.04) such Bank or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made; (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings; and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Covered Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and each Agent for (i) the full amount of Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 4.04) which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any Note and are paid by such Bank or such Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, and (ii) any Taxes paid or payable by such Bank or such Agent (the amount of which will be determined by such Bank or such Agent in its sole discretion, and will be binding on all parties to this Agreement unless manifestly unreasonable) which were levied or imposed by any Governmental Authority on any additional amounts paid by the Borrower under this Section 4.04. A certificate as to the amount of any such required indemnification payment prepared with a reasonable basis by the Bank or such Agent shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Bank or such Agent makes written demand therefor by the delivery of such certificate.

          (d) If a Bank or Agent receives a refund or credit of Taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 4.04, then such Bank or such Agent shall promptly repay the Borrower such amount as the Bank or Administrative Agent determines will leave it, after such payment, in no better or worse financial position than if the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit had never been imposed in the instance; provided, however, that if, due to any adjustment of such Taxes, such Bank

or such Agent loses the benefit of all or any portion of such refund or credit, the Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless such Bank or such Agent in accordance with this subsection; provided, further, however, that such Bank will determine the amount of any such refund or credit, and the amount of any lost benefit in respect thereof, in its sole discretion, and such determinations will be binding on all parties to this Agreement unless manifestly unreasonable. Nothing in this Section 4.04(d) shall require any Bank to disclose its tax returns to any of Holdings, the Borrower, any of their respective Subsidiaries or GTCR.

          (e) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Bank or any Agent on behalf of any Bank pursuant to this Section 4.04, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office or take other appropriate action so as to eliminate any such additional payment by the Borrower which may thereafter accrue, if such change or other action in the reasonable judgment of such Bank is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

          (f) (a) Each Bank which is a U.S. Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees that it shall, no later than the Original Effective Date (or, (x) in the case of a Bank that first makes a Tranche B-1 Term Loan or first has a Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitment on the Amendment Effective Date, the Amendment Effective Date or (y) in the case of a Bank which becomes a party hereto after the Amendment Effective Date, the date upon which such Bank becomes a party hereto), deliver to the Administrative Agent and to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete signed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor thereto, as appropriate.

     (ii) Each Bank shall, before or promptly after the occurrence of any event (including the passing of time) requiring a change in or renewal of the most recent Form W-9, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Section 4.04(f) Certificate previously delivered by such Bank, deliver to the Administrative Agent and to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of Form W-9, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or a Section 4.04(f) Certificate, as the case may be, in replacement of the forms previously delivered by such Bank.

     (iii) Each Bank shall, unless unable to do so by virtue of a Change in Law occurring after the date such Bank becomes a party hereto, certify (to the extent it has not already done so in clause (i) or clause (ii)) (x) either (1) that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or (2) in the case of

an assignee Bank that becomes a party hereto after the Original Effective Date, that it is subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes at a rate no greater than the rate applicable to the assignor Bank, and (y) that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

     (iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection (f) or any other provision of this Section 4.04 following the date it becomes a party hereto, no Bank shall be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 4.04 if such Bank is not then legally able to do so as result of a Change in Law that occurs following the date it becomes a party hereto.

          (g) The Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amount in respect of Taxes pursuant to this Section 4.04 to any Bank or to the Administrative Agent with respect to any Bank if (i) the obligation to pay such additional amount would not have arisen but for a failure by such Bank to comply with its obligations under subsection 4.04(f) or (ii) in the case of an assignee Bank, to the extent Borrower would not have been obligated to pay such additional amount to the assignor Bank, except to the extent the obligation to pay an excess additional amount to the assignee Bank resulted from a Change in Law occurring after the date the assignee Bank became a party hereto.

          (b) On and as of the Original Effective Date and the Amendment Effective Date, after giving effect to the Indebtedness (including the Loans) being incurred and Liens created by the Borrower in connection therewith (assuming the full utilization of all Commitments on the Original Effective Date or Amendment Effective Date as the case may be), (a) the sum of the assets, at a going business value (i.e., the amount that may be realized within a reasonable time, considered to be six months to one year, either through collection or sale at the regular market value, conceiving the latter as the amount that would be obtained for such assets within such period by a capable and diligent businessman from an interested buyer who is willing to purchase under ordinary selling conditions), of the Borrower will exceed its debts; (b) the Borrower has not incurred and does not intend to incur, and does not believe that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as such debts mature; and (c) the Borrower will have sufficient capital with which to conduct its business. For purposes of this Section 7.05(c), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured; provided that to the extent any such “claim” is not fixed, liquidated and contingent, the amount thereof shall equal the Borrower’s good faith estimate of the maximum amount thereof.

          (c) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.05(a), and except for the Indebtedness incurred under this Agreement and (i) the Original Transaction, there were as of the Original Effective Date and (ii) the Transactions, there was as of the Amendment Effective Date, in each case no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in aggregate, would be material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As of the Original Effective Date, the Borrower knew and as of the Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower knows of no basis for the assertion against it of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.05(a) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (d) On and as of the Amendment Effective Date, the financial projections (the “Projections”) previously delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Banks have been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time of preparation thereof and there are no statements or conclusions in any of the Projections which are based upon or include information known to the Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein. On the Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower believed that the Projections were reasonable and attainable; it being recognized by the Banks, however, that projections as to future events are not viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections are likely to differ from the projected results and the differences could be material.

          7.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened that could reasonably be expected to, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

          7.07 True and Complete Disclosure. To the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, no factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to any of the Agents or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein contained, and no other such factual information (taken as a whole) furnished since the Original Effective Date by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to any of the Agents or any Bank will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          7.08 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. iii) All proceeds of the Initial Tranche B-1 Term Loans will be used solely to refinance the Tranche B Term Loans and any Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall be used by the Borrower solely to redeem the 9% Senior Notes and in each case to pay all costs, fees and expenses in connection therewith and, to the extent any proceeds remain after the 9% Senior Notes Redemption, for general corporate purposes.

          (a) All proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be used (subject to the terms and conditions contained herein) for the general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

          (b) No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock in violation of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

          7.09 Tax Returns and Payments. Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and each of their respective Subsidiaries are members of an affiliated group of corporations filing consolidated returns for federal income tax purposes, of which Parent is the “common parent” (within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code) of such group. Each of Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and each of their respective Subsidiaries have timely filed or caused to be timely filed, on the due dates thereof or within applicable grace periods, with the appropriate taxing authority, all federal Tax Returns and all material state or other Tax Returns required to be filed by Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries and each such Tax Return is complete and correct in all material respects. Each of Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and each of their respective Subsidiaries have paid all material Taxes due and payable by them other than those which are not delinquent or which are contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 7.05(a), there is no material action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by any authority regarding any Taxes relating to Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Parent and its Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, in material conformity with GAAP. As of the Original Effective Date, none of Holdings or the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries had and as of the Amendment Effective Date, none of Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of Taxes of Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and the Borrower is not aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of Parent, Holdings, the

Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations.

          7.10 Compliance with ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $5,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans. Each ERISA Entity is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each ERISA Entity to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          Each Foreign Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary have incurred any material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Plan which is funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of the Borrower or Subsidiary on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Plan, and for each Foreign Plan which is not funded, the obligations of such Foreign Plan are properly accrued.

          7.11 The Security Documents. iv) The provisions of the Security Agreement are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors in the Security Agreement Collateral described therein, as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Loans and the other Obligations, and the Security Agreement, upon the filing of Form UCC-1 financing statements or the appropriate equivalent (which filings have been made) or other methods of perfection (which have been completed to the extent required by the Security Agreement), creates, a fully (and to the extent required by the Security Agreement) perfected first lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest in all of the Security Agreement Collateral described therein, which security interest shall be subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens. The recordation of the Security Agreement in U.S. Patents and Trademarks in the United States Patent and Trademark Office together with filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Security Agreement are effective, under applicable law, to perfect the security interest, as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Loans and the other Obligations, granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in the trademarks and patents covered by such Security Agreement in U.S. Patents and Trademarks and the recordation of the Security Agreement in U.S. Copyrights with the United States Copyright Office together with filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Security Agreement are effective under federal law to perfect the security interest, as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Loans and the other Obligations, granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors in the copyrights covered by such Security Agreement in U.S. Copyrights. Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor has good and marketable title to all Security Agreement Collateral pledged by it under the Security Agreement, free and clear of all Liens except those described above in this clause (a) and except for Permitted Liens.

          (a) The security interests created in favor of the Collateral Agent, as pledgee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors under each Pledge Agreement, upon the delivery of the Pledged Securities to the Collateral Agent, constitute first priority perfected security interests in the Pledged Securities described in each Pledge Agreement, as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Loans and the other Obligations, subject to no security interests of any other Person other than the Second Priority Lien of the IDS Collateral Agent in respect of the common stock of the Borrower (or, after the Merger Event, the Pledged Securities of Borrower’s Subsidiaries). No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect the security interests created in the Pledged Securities and the proceeds thereof under the Pledge Agreement other than filings on Form UCC-1 (which filings have been made) other than filings or recordings that may be made in connection with the Merger Event.

          (b) Each Mortgage is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in and Lien on the collateral described therein, and upon recording the Mortgages in the jurisdictions in which the property covered by such Mortgage is located, such security interests and Lien will, subject to the existence of Permitted Encumbrances, constitute first priority liens on, and perfected security interests in, all rights, title and interest of the Creditor party thereto in the collateral described therein.

          7.12 Representations and Warranties in Documents. All representations and warranties set forth in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects at the time as of which such representations and warranties were made (or deemed made) and will be true and correct in all material respects on the Amendment Effective Date.

On and as of the Original Effective Date, all of the Real Properties of each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) owned in fee are listed on Schedule 7.13 to the Original Credit Agreement under the heading “Fee Real Properties” (such Fee Real Properties, together with all Real Properties acquired after the Original Effective Date in fee by the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries, the “Fee Properties”; each, a “Fee Property”) and (ii) leased by it are (A) in the case of the Principal Leases, listed on Exhibit A to Amendment No. 1 to the Collateral Assignment of Leases and subject to the provisions of the Collateral Assignment of Leases and (B) in the case of the Location Leases, described in and subject to the provisions of the Collateral Assignment of Location Leases as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Collateral Assignment of Location Leases (such leased Real Properties, together with all Real Properties hereafter leased by the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries, the “Leased Properties”; each, a “Leased Property”).

          7.14 Capitalization. As of the Original Effective Date and the Amendment Effective Date, the authorized capital stock of the Borrower consists of 1,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, 100 of which are issued and outstanding.

          7.16 Compliance with Statutes, etc. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property, except such noncompliances as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, past or threatened Environmental Claims against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property now or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. There are no facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any Real Property now or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, on any property adjoining or in the vicinity of any such Real Property that, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, could reasonably be expected (i) to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any such Real Property, which Environmental Claim could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate with all other Environmental Claims, or (ii) to cause any such Real Property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such Real Property by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law.

Furthermore,

the Borrower shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent such opinions of counsel, title insurance, surveys and other related documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to assure themselves that this Section 8.10 has been complied with.

No later than the 30th day after all of the Second Draw Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitments are terminated in their entirety (either by operation of Section 3.02 or 3.03(b) or otherwise), the Borrower shall enter into, and for a minimum of two years and nine months thereafter maintain, Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements with terms and conditions acceptable to the Administrative Agent that result in at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Borrower’s Consolidated Indebtedness other than Revolving Loans being effectively subject to a fixed or maximum interest rate reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that such percentage shall be reduced to 40% upon consummation of the Merger Event.

Each Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

          12.02 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Security Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Bank or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

          12.03 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Bank and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Bank or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

          12.04 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Agent shall request instructions from the Required Banks with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Banks; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

          12.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

          12.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Banks will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, in proportion to their respective “percentages” as used in determining the Required Banks (with such “percentages” to be determined as if there are no Defaulting Banks), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its respective duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in any way relating to or

arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except to the extent such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are finally judicially determined to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          12.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Bank or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Bank or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

          13.06 Payments Pro Rata.

          (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Banks (other than any Bank that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

          (b) Each of the Banks agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Banks is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Bank bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Banks immediately prior to such receipt, then such Bank receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Banks an interest in the Obligations of the respective Party to such Banks in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Banks in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Banks as opposed to Defaulting Banks.

          13.07 Calculations; Computations.

          (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Banks pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Banks) (“GAAP”; provided that Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 141 and 142 shall be deemed to be in effect as of the Original Effective Date;

          (b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day (determined in accordance with the terms hereof) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable (except for interest payable in respect of Base Rate Loans based on the Prime Lending Rate, which shall be computed on the basis of a 365/66 day year).

          13.08 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

          (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN CERTAIN OF THE MORTGAGES, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and each of the Agents.

          13.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the “Amendment Effective Date”) on which each Credit Party and each of the Agents shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered the same to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will give the Borrower and each Bank prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Amendment Effective Date. Delivery of a signed counterpart by facsimile or Adobe “pdf” file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

          13.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc. vii) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto and the Required Banks; provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Bank (other than a Defaulting Bank) (with Obligations being directly affected in the case of following clause (i)), (i) extend the Final Scheduled Maturity Dates of or extend the stated maturity of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon, or reduce the principal amount thereof (except to the extent repaid in cash), (ii) release (x) the Guaranty or a Subsidiary Guarantor or (y) all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Security Documents in connection with a sale otherwise permitted hereby), (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12, (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Banks (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Banks, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Banks on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Tranche B-1 Term Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Amendment Effective Date) or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or Holdings of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (u) increase the Commitments of any Bank over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Bank (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Bank, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Bank shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Bank), (v) without the consent of DBTCA, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (w) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 as same applies to such Administrative Agent or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of such Administrative Agent, (x) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent, (y) without the consent of the Supermajority Banks of each Tranche which is being allocated a lesser prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction as a result of the actions described below (or without the

consent of the Supermajority Banks of each Tranche in the case of an amendment to the definition of Supermajority Banks), amend the definition of Supermajority Banks or alter the required application of any prepayments or repayments (or commitment reductions), as between the various Tranches, pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 (although the Required Banks may waive, in whole or in part, any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction, so long as the application, as amongst the various Tranches, of any such prepayment, repayment or commitment reduction which is still required to be made is not altered) or (z) without the consent of the Supermajority Banks of the respective Tranche, amend, modify or waive any Tranche B-1 Term Loan Scheduled Repayment.

          (a) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Banks is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Banks whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Banks whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Bank or Banks (or, at the option of the Borrower if the respective Bank’s consent is required with respect to less than all Tranches of Loans (or related Commitments), to replace only the respective Tranche or Tranches of Commitments and/or Loans of the respective non-consenting Bank which gave rise to the need to obtain such Bank’s individual consent) with one or more Replacement Banks pursuant to Section 1.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Bank consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Bank’s Revolving Loan Commitment (if such Bank’s consent is required as a result of its Revolving Loan Commitment) and/or repay outstanding Tranche B-1 Term Loans of such Bank which gave rise to the need to obtain such Bank’s consent, in accordance with Sections 3.02(b) and/or 4.01(v); provided that, unless the Commitments are terminated, and Loans repaid, pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Banks or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Banks (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Banks (determined before giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto; provided, further, that in any event the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Bank, terminate its Revolving Loan Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Bank’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Bank) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

          13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 1.11, 1.12, 2.05, 4.04, 13.01 and 13.06 shall, subject to Section 13.15 (to the extent applicable), survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Loans (it being understood and agreed that all such indemnities shall also survive as to any Bank that has assigned all of its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 13.04(b) with respect to the period of time in which such Bank was a “Bank” hereunder).

          13.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 1.11, 1.12, 2.05 or 4.04 from those being charged by the respective Bank prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

          13.15 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Banks, the Loans made by each of the Banks and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Bank. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Bank, the transfer of the Commitments of such Bank and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective unless and until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Bank shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Bank and/or the new Bank. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15.

          13.16 Confidentiality.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each Bank agrees that it will use its best efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of Holdings or the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Bank if the Bank or such Bank’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information; provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Bank) any information with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which has been since the Original Effective Date or in the future is furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and which is designated by Holdings to the Banks in writing as confidential; provided that any Bank may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Bank or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Bank, (e) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (f) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Bank, and (g) or to any pledge referred to in Section 13.04(c) or any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such pledge or contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16); provided that such prospective transferee or participant agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section.

          (b) Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledge and agrees that each Bank may share with any of its affiliates any information related to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Parent

and its Subsidiaries); provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Bank.

          13.17 Rules of Construction. After the Merger Event, any reference herein to “Parent” or “Holdings” shall be disregarded or shall be deemed to be references to Borrower unless the context otherwise requires.

          13.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Bank that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower 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 the Borrower, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Borrower and other information regarding the Borrower that will allow such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Act and is effective as to the Banks and the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 14. Guaranty.

          14.01 The Guaranty. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Creditor and the Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code) on the Borrowings made by each Bank to, and the Notes held by each Bank of, the Borrower, and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Banks or the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, under this Agreement and under the Notes and by any Credit Party under any of the other Credit Documents, and all Obligations of the Credit Parties to any Secured Creditors, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or otherwise perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

          14.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 14.01 are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

     (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

     (ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

     (iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

     (iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Creditor or the Collateral Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected or shall fail to have the priority contemplated by the Security Documents; or

     (v) the release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor.

          The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Bank or Affiliate thereof exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Subsidiary Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Creditor or Affiliate thereof or the Administrative Agent upon this guarantee or acceptance of this guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Bank or Affiliate thereof and the Administrative Agent shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guarantee. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Bank or Affiliate thereof and the Administrative Agent, and the obligations and liabilities of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Bank or Affiliate thereof or the Administrative Agent or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Subsidiary Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Creditors, and its successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

          14.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 14 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank or Affiliate thereof on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Bank or Affiliate thereof in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference,

fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or expenses resulting from the gross negligence or bad faith of such Person.

          14.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Banks under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 14.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor on the Original Effective Date or thereafter owing to any Subsidiary Guarantor by reason of any payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee in this Section 14 is hereby subordinated to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it will not demand, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of the Borrower to such Subsidiary Guarantor until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall prior to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent, and the Banks and Affiliates thereof and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of the guarantee contained herein.

          14.05 Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Banks, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 10 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 10.05) for purposes of Section 14.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 14.01.

          14.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 14 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Bank or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

          14.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 14 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

          14.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 14.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 14.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, any Bank, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

          14.09 Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the United States. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the Credit Party Pledge Agreement executed and delivered by the Credit Parties require that, among other things, all promissory notes executed by, and all (or 65%, as the case may be) of the capital stock and other equity interests in, various Persons owned by the respective Credit Party be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the Credit Party Pledge Agreement. To the extent the Credit Party Pledge Agreement requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or capital stock or other equity interests in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States, it is acknowledged that, as of the Initial Borrower Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect under any local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose capital stock or other equity interests are pledged, under the Security Documents. The Credit Parties hereby agree that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or Required Banks to do so in respect to any such asset that is material, each Credit Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take such actions under U.S. law or the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks to be necessary or desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests in such assets granted pursuant to the Credit Party Pledge Agreement under the laws of such jurisdictions. If requested to do so pursuant to this Section 14.09, all such actions shall be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.09 as promptly as practicable. All conditions and representations contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing and so that same are not violated by reason of the failure to take actions under U.S. Federal or local law (but only with respect to capital stock of, other equity interests in, and promissory notes issued by, Persons organized under laws of jurisdictions other than the United States) not required to be taken in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.09; provided that, to the extent any representation or warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken, the respective representation or warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at such time as the respective action is required to be taken in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.09.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver this Agreement as of the date first above written.
