Subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, if any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by Law. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, at the option of the Requisite Lenders and subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.3, Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by Law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations, at the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Administrative Agent shall provide notice to Borrower of the imposition of the Default Rate pursuant to this Agreement, provided that imposition of the Default Rate in each case shall be effective as of the date of the Event of Default or other event giving rise to such imposition, unless otherwise indicated in such notice.

3.4 Computation of Interest and Fees.

Computation of interest and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Advance for the day on which the Advance is made; interest shall not accrue on an Advance, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Advance or such portion is paid. Any Advance that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Notes, the total liability for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the limits imposed by applicable laws, if any, relating to limitations upon interest. If any payments in the nature of interest made under this Agreement or the Notes would exceed the limits imposed by such laws, then it is agreed that any such excess shall be deemed payment of principal and the indebtedness evidenced hereby and thereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, shall not exceed the limits imposed by such laws. In determining whether or not payments in the nature of interest exceed the limits imposed by applicable laws, Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent may, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law: (i) re-characterize non-principal payments as sums that are not considered interest for the purposes of such laws, including without limitation, reimbursement of expenses, late charges, and default interest; and (ii) spread or re-allocate the total amount of payments in the nature of interest due hereunder and/or under the Notes, including those previously made and those thereafter due, over the entire term of the obligation so that the interest rate is deemed to have been uniform throughout the entire term.

3.5 Non-Banking Days.

If any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party under any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Banking Day, payment shall instead be

considered due on the next succeeding Banking Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

3.6 Manner and Treatment of Payments.

(a) Each payment hereunder or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made, as applicable, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office or to the applicable Lender at such Lender’s Office, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. California time, on the day of payment (which must be a Banking Day). All payments received after such time, on any Banking Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Banking Day. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.10(b) hereof, each payment or prepayment on account of the Advances, regardless of when and how made, shall be made pro rata to each Lender according to the outstanding amount of Advances made by such Lender.

(c) Each Lender shall use its best efforts to keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to its Note and, subject to Section 10.6(g), such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts owing. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any Lender to keep such a record shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.

(d) Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower or any other Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental Agency, central bank or comparable authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by its overall net income and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is “doing business” (all such non-excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). To the extent that Borrower is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement, Borrower shall (1) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Agency and (2) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that Lender’s receiving a net after-Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding. If and when receipt of such payment results in an excess payment or credit to that Lender on account of such Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to Borrower.

(e) Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing if any payment to which it is entitled hereunder, under its Note or under any other Loan Document has not been made when due.

3.7 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver.

Any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.3), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment of any interest (including interest arising under Section 3.3), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

3.8 [Intentionally Omitted]

3.9 Fee Determination Detail.

The Administrative Agent, and any Lender, shall provide reasonable detail to Borrower regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or that Lender, under Article 3 has been determined, concurrently with demand for such payment.

Article 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders that:

4.1 Existence and Qualification; Power; Compliance With Laws.

Borrower is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. Borrower is duly qualified or registered to transact business and is in good standing in the State of California, and each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of its Properties makes such qualification or registration necessary, except where the failure so to qualify or register and to be in good standing would not constitute a Material Adverse Event. Borrower, has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business, to own and lease its Properties and to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a Party and to perform its Obligations. The chief executive offices of Borrower are located in Anaheim, California. All outstanding capital stock of Borrower is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and no holder thereof has any enforceable right of rescission under any applicable state or federal securities or other Laws. Except as disclosed in Schedule 4.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein, Borrower is in compliance with all Laws and other legal requirements applicable to its business, has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses and permits from, and has accomplished all filings, registrations and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the transaction of its business, except where the failure so to comply with Laws and other legal requirements applicable to its business, obtain authorizations, etc., file, register, qualify or obtain exemptions does not constitute a Material Adverse Event.

4.2 Authority; Compliance With Other Agreements and Instruments and Government Regulations.

The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and the other Obligors of the Loan Documents to which it is a Party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or company action, as applicable, and do not and will not:

(a) Require any consent or approval not heretofore obtained of any partner, director, stockholder, member, security holder or creditor of such Party;

(b) Violate or conflict with any provision of such Party’s charter, articles of incorporation, bylaws, articles or certificate of organization, operating agreement, or other organizational documents, as applicable;

(c) Result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) or Right of Others upon or with respect to any Property now owned or leased or hereafter acquired by such Party;

(d) Violate any Requirement of Law applicable to such Party;

(e) Result in a breach of or constitute a default under, or cause or permit the acceleration of any obligation owed under, any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other Contractual Obligation to which such Party is a party or by which such Party or any of its Property is bound or affected;

and, except as disclosed in Schedule 4.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein, such Party is not in violation of, or default under, any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation, or any indenture, loan or credit agreement described in Section 4.2(e), in any respect that constitutes a Material Adverse Event.

4.3 No Governmental Approvals Required.

Except as previously obtained or made, no authorization, consent, approval, order, license or permit from, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Agency is or will be required to authorize or permit under applicable Laws the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower or any other Obligor of the Loan Documents to which it is a Party.

4.4 Subsidiaries.

(a) Schedule 4.4 hereto correctly sets forth, as of the Closing Date, the names, form of legal entity, number of shares of capital stock or membership or other equity interests, as applicable, issued and outstanding, and number of shares of capital stock or membership or other equity interests, as applicable, owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower (specifying such owner) and jurisdictions of organization of all Subsidiaries of Borrower. Except as described in Schedule 4.4, Borrower does not own, as of the Closing Date, any capital stock, membership interest, other equity interest or debt security which is convertible, or exchangeable, for capital stock, membership interests or other equity interests in any Person. As of the Closing Date, unless otherwise

indicated in Schedule 4.4, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, all of the outstanding membership interests or all of the units of other equity interest, as the case may be, of each Subsidiary are owned of record and beneficially by Borrower, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase capital stock of any such Subsidiary, and all such shares, membership interests or other equity interests so owned are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities and other Laws, and are free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Encumbrances and other encumbrances permitted pursuant to Section 6.9.

(b) Each Subsidiary is a legal entity of the type described in Schedule 4.4 duly formed, validly existing and, if such concept is legally recognized in such Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of organization, in “good standing” under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, is duly qualified to do business as a foreign organization and, if such concept is legally recognized in any applicable jurisdiction, is in “good standing” as such in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of its Properties makes such qualification necessary (except where the failure to be so duly qualified and in good standing does not constitute a Material Adverse Event), and has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own and lease its Properties.

(c) Each Subsidiary is in compliance with all Laws and other requirements applicable to its business and has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, and permits from, and each such Subsidiary has accomplished all filings, registrations, and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the transaction of its business, except where the failure to be in such compliance, obtain such authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, and permits, accomplish such filings, registrations, and qualifications, or obtain such exemptions, does not constitute a Material Adverse Event.

4.5 Financial Statements. To the best knowledge and belief of the Senior Officers of Borrower, the draft financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Years ending December 31, 2004 (dated June 1, 2006, together with additional net income adjustment information provided July 5, 2006), and December 31, 2005 (dated June 1, 2006), and for the five months ending May 31, 2006 (provided July 5, 2006), copies of which have heretofore been provided to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, are true and complete, fairly present the financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such dates and the results of their operations for the periods then ended and were prepared in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that the balance sheet as of December 31, 2004 and the above-referenced draft financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2005, and for the five months ending May 31, 2006, shall be subject to audit adjustments which individually or in the aggregate could be material.

4.6 No Other Liabilities; No Material Adverse Changes.

Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any material liability or material contingent liability required under GAAP to be reflected or disclosed, and not reflected or disclosed, in the balance sheet included in the financial statements described in Section 4.5(b), other than liabilities and contingent liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business since the date of such balance sheet. Except as disclosed to Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date, no circumstance or event has occurred, as of the Closing Date, that constitutes a Material Adverse Event since April 30, 2006.

4.7 Title to and Location of Property.

Borrower and its Subsidiaries have valid title to the Property (other than assets which are the subject of a Capital Lease Obligation) reflected in the balance sheet included in the financial statements described in Section 4.5(b), other than items of Property or exceptions to title which are in each case immaterial and Property subsequently sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business (or otherwise disposed of in a manner permitted by this Agreement). Such Property is free and clear of all Liens and Rights of Others, other than Liens or Rights of Others described in Schedule 4.7A and Permitted Encumbrances, other encumbrances permitted pursuant to Section 6.9, and Permitted Rights of Others. All Property of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is located at one of the locations described in Schedule 4.7B or at such other locations within the United States of America as Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries, subsequent to the Closing Date, shall move such Property (other than deposit (whether a demand, time, savings, passbook or similar account) and investment accounts) and shall have notified Administrative Agent in writing prior to any such move. Schedule 4.7B sets forth (a) all office, warehouse and manufacturing and other space of Borrower and its Subsidiaries where any Property of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is located and (b) all deposit (whether a demand, time, savings, passbook or similar account) and investment accounts of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, identifying such account by account number, type, location of depositary institution and applicable owner thereof.

4.8 Intangible Assets.

Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, or possess the right to use to the extent necessary in their respective businesses, all material trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent rights, computer software, licenses and other Intangible Assets that are used in the conduct of their businesses as now operated, and no such Intangible Asset, to the best knowledge of Borrower, conflicts with the valid trademark, trade name, copyright, patent, patent right or Intangible Asset of any other Person to the extent that such conflict constitutes a Material Adverse Event. Except as described in Schedule 4.8, in the enforcement of its rights as a secured creditor, the Administrative Agent (or any applicable Lender) will not be required to own or otherwise possess the right to use any patent, trademark or other intellectual property, or any license to use the same, in order to sell any Inventory of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the occurrence of an Event of Default. Schedule 4.8 sets forth all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade names and trade styles used by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at any time within the five (5) year period ending on the Closing Date.

4.9 Public Utility Holding Company Act.

None of Borrower or any of the other Obligors is a “holding company”, or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or, as the case may be, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, enacted as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Pub. L. No. 109-58 as codified at §§ 1261 et seq., as amended.

None of Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any executive officer of any such Persons has been indicted or convicted in connection with or is engaging in any criminal conduct which constitutes a felony, or is currently subject to any lawsuit or proceeding or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, under investigation in connection with any anti-racketeering or criminal conduct or activity which constitutes a felony.

4.11 Binding Obligations.

Each of the Loan Documents to which Borrower and any of the other Obligors is a Party will, when executed and delivered by such Party, constitute the legal, valid and binding

obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws or equitable principles relating to the granting of specific performance and other equitable remedies as a matter of judicial discretion.

4.12 No Default.

No event has occurred and is continuing that is a Default or Event of Default.

(i) such Pension Plan complies in all material respects with ERISA and any other applicable Laws to the extent that noncompliance could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(ii) such Pension Plan has not incurred any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(iii) no “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA, but excluding such events as to which the PBGC has by regulation waived the requirement therein contained that it be notified within thirty days of the occurrence of such event) has occurred that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(iv) neither Borrower nor any of the other Obligors has engaged in any non-exempt “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither Borrower nor any of the other Obligors have incurred or expects to incur any withdrawal liability to any Multiemployer Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.14 Regulation U; Investment Company Act.

No part of the proceeds of any Advance hereunder will be used to purchase or carry, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, any Margin Stock in violation of Regulation U. Neither Borrower nor any of the other Obligors is or is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.15 Disclosure.

No written statement made by a Senior Officer of Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with any Advance, as of the date thereof contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted a material fact necessary to make the statement made not misleading in light of all the circumstances existing at the date the statement was made.

4.16 Tax Liability.

Borrower and the other Obligors have filed all tax returns which are required to be filed (other than such tax returns as pertain to immaterial taxes and with respect to which (a) Borrower and/or the other Obligors have inadvertently neglected to file such returns and (b) no material Property of Borrower or any Subsidiary is at impending risk of being seized, levied upon or forfeited), and have paid, or made provision for the payment of, all taxes with respect to the periods, Property or transactions covered by said returns, or pursuant to any assessment received by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except (a) such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been established and maintained and (b) immaterial taxes so long as no material Property of Borrower or any Subsidiary is at impending risk of being seized, levied upon or forfeited.

4.17 Projections.

To the best knowledge of the Senior Officers of Borrower (a) as of the date of the preparation of the Projections, the assumptions set forth therein were reasonable and consistent with each other and with all facts known to Borrower, and the Projections were reasonably based on such assumptions, and (b) nothing has occurred since the date the Projections were prepared which would make the representations and warranties made in clause (a) hereof untrue in any material respect if made as of the Closing Date and with the assumption that such Projections were prepared on such date. Nothing in this Section 4.17 shall be construed as a representation or covenant that the Projections in fact will be achieved.

4.18 Hazardous Materials.

Except as described in Schedule 4.18, (a) neither Borrower nor any of the other Obligors at any time has disposed of, discharged, released or threatened the release of any Hazardous Materials on, from or under the Real Property in violation of any Hazardous Materials Law that would individually or in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Event, (b) no condition exists that violates any Hazardous Material Law affecting any Real Property except for such violations that would not individually or in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Event, (c) no Real Property or any portion thereof is or has been utilized by Borrower or any Subsidiary as a site for the manufacture of any Hazardous Materials except any such usage that would not individually or in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Event and (d) to the extent that any Hazardous Materials are used, generated or stored by Borrower or any Subsidiary on any Real Property, or transported to or from such Real Property by Borrower, or any Subsidiary, such use, generation, storage and transportation are in compliance in all material respects with all Hazardous Materials Laws.

4.19 Security Interests.

Upon the execution and delivery of the Security Agreement, the Security Agreement will create a valid security interest in the Collateral described therein securing the Obligations (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, Permitted Rights of Others and other matters permitted by Section 6.9 and to such qualifications and exceptions as are contained in the UCC with respect to the priority of security interests perfected by means other than the filing of a

financing statement or with respect to the creation of security interests in Property to which Division 9 of the UCC does not apply) and all actions necessary to perfect the security interests so created, other than filing of the UCC-1 financing statements delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.1 with the appropriate Governmental Agency, have been taken and completed. Upon the execution and delivery of any Deposit Account Control Agreement by the depositary institution party thereto and the Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary, such Deposit Account Control Agreement will create a valid security interest in the Collateral described therein (subject only to Liens permitted by the terms of such Deposit Account Control Agreement and Liens permitted by Section 6.9) securing the Obligations and all actions necessary to perfect the security interests so created will have been taken and completed. Upon the execution and delivery of the Pledge Agreement, the Pledge Agreement will create a valid security interest in the Pledged Collateral described therein and all action necessary to perfect the security interest so created as a first priority security interest will have been taken and completed.

4.20 Employee Matters.

There is no strike, work stoppage or labor dispute with any union or group of employees pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower overtly threatened involving Borrower or any Subsidiary that would constitute a Material Adverse Event.

4.21 Fiscal Year.

Borrower and its Subsidiaries each operate on a fiscal year ending on December 31.

4.22 Solvency.

After giving effect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including after giving effect to Advances under this Agreement as of the Closing Date), Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be Solvent.

Article 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS (OTHER THAN INFORMATION AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS)

So long as any portion of any Advance remains unpaid, or any other Obligation remains unpaid, Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, unless the Administrative Agent (with the written approval of the Requisite Lenders) otherwise consents:

5.1 Payment of Taxes and Other Potential Liens.

Pay and discharge promptly all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon any of them, upon their respective Property or any part thereof and upon their respective income or profits or any part thereof, except that Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to pay or cause to be paid (a) any tax, assessment, charge or levy that is not yet past due, or is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as the relevant entity has established and maintains adequate reserves for the payment of the same or

(b) any immaterial tax so long as no material Property of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is at impending risk of being seized, levied upon or forfeited.

5.2 Preservation of Existence.

Preserve and maintain their respective existences (except as permitted by this Section 5.2 or Section 6.3 hereof) in the jurisdiction of their formation and all material authorizations, rights, franchises, privileges, consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits, or registrations from any Governmental Agency that are necessary for the transaction of their respective business and qualify and remain qualified to transact business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of their respective business or the ownership or leasing of their respective Properties except where the failure to so qualify or remain qualified would not constitute a Material Adverse Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary of Borrower whose only assets were at a Company Owned Location which was the subject of a Disposition and which has no remaining assets, liabilities or continuing operations may liquidate, dissolve or merge into Borrower or another of Borrower’s Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no Domestic Subsidiary may dissolve or merge into a Foreign Subsidiary.

5.3 Maintenance of Properties.

Maintain, preserve and protect all of their respective Properties in good order and condition, subject to wear and tear in the ordinary course of business, and not permit any waste of their respective Properties, except (i) that the failure to maintain, preserve and protect a particular item of Property that is at the end of its useful life or that is not of significant value, either intrinsically or to the operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, shall not constitute a violation of this covenant, and (ii) this covenant shall not be construed to prohibit any Disposition of assets otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.4.

5.4 Maintenance of Insurance.

(a) Maintain insurance on all insurable tangible Property against fire, casualty and such other hazards (including extended coverage and workmen’s compensation) in such amounts, with such deductibles and with such insurers (rated “B” or better by “A.M. Best’s Insurance Reports”) as are customarily used by companies operating in the same industry as Borrower and its Subsidiaries and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Borrower shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a schedule of all such insurance prepared by their insurance broker, and certificates of insurance with respect thereto (including the text of the lender’s loss payable clause in favor of the Administrative Agent required below), or such other evidence of insurance as the Administrative Agent may require within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. Borrower shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a copy of each applicable policy within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date. In the event Borrower fails to procure or cause to be procured any such insurance or to timely pay or cause to be paid the premium(s) on any such insurance, the Administrative Agent may do so for Borrower but Borrower shall continue to be liable for the same. All casualty insurance policies shall contain standard lender’s loss payable clauses issued in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) indicating that the Administrative Agent is sole lender loss

payee, under which all losses thereunder shall be paid to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) as the Administrative Agent’s interest may appear. Such policies shall expressly provide that the requisite insurance cannot be altered or canceled without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and shall insure the Administrative Agent notwithstanding the act or neglect of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Borrower hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, exercisable at the Administrative Agent’s option only during the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and only to the extent the Obligations are outstanding, to endorse any check which may be payable to Borrower and to file proofs of loss with respect to any insurance claims, in order to collect the proceeds of such insurance and any amount or amounts collected by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph may be applied by the Administrative Agent to the Obligations. Borrower further covenants that all insurance premiums due and owing under its current casualty policies have been paid. Borrower also agrees to notify the Administrative Agent, promptly, upon any receipt of a notice of termination, cancellation, or non-renewal from its insurance company of any such policy.

(b) Maintain, and deliver to the Administrative Agent upon the Administrative Agent’s request evidence of, public liability, products liability and business interruption insurance in such amounts as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, but in any event not more than are customary for companies in the same or similar businesses located in the same or similar area. The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) shall be named as additional insured with respect to all such liability insurance. The foregoing insurance shall be obtained from such insurers (rated “A” or better by “A.M. Best’s Insurance Reports”) as are customarily used by companies operating in the same industry as Borrower and its Subsidiaries and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

5.5 Compliance With Laws.

Comply with all Requirements of Law noncompliance with which constitutes a Material Adverse Event, except for matters disclosed in Schedule 4.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein, and except that that Borrower and its Subsidiaries need not comply with a Requirement of Law then being contested by any of them in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

5.6 Inspection Rights.

Upon reasonable notice, at any time during regular business hours and, as requested by the Administrative Agent (but not so as to materially interfere with the business of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) permit the Administrative Agent, or any Lender, or any authorized employee, agent or representative thereof, to examine, audit and make copies and abstracts from the records and books of account of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including any software or CD Rom programs relating thereto), and to visit and inspect the Properties of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of Borrower and its Subsidiaries with any of their officers, key employees or accountants and, upon request, furnish promptly to the Administrative Agent or any Lender true copies of all financial

information made available to the board of directors or audit committee of the board of directors of Borrower. If any of the Properties, books or records of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are in the possession of a third party, Borrower authorizes that third party to permit the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any agents thereof to have access to perform inspections or audits and to respond to the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s request for information concerning such Properties, books and records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice of any such examination, audit, visit, inspection or discussion shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and remains in effect or if the Administrative Agent has reason to believe that a Default or Event of Default then exists.

5.7 Keeping of Records and Books of Account.

Keep adequate records and books of account reflecting all financial transactions in conformity with GAAP, consistently applied, and in material conformity with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Agency having regulatory jurisdiction over Borrowers and its Subsidiaries.

5.8 Compliance With Agreements.

Promptly and fully comply with all Contractual Obligations to which any one or more of them is a party, except for any such Contractual Obligations (a) the performance of which would cause a Default or (b) then being contested by any of them in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (c) if the failure to comply does not constitute a Material Adverse Event.

5.9 Use of Proceeds.

Use the proceeds of the Advances in accordance with the provisions of the Schedule 5.9.

5.10 Hazardous Materials Laws.

rehabilitator or similar officer for it or for all or any material part of its Property; or any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer is appointed without the application or consent of that Person and the appointment continues undischarged or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days; or any proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law relating to any such Person or to all or any part of its Property is instituted without the consent of that Person and continues undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) calendar days; provided, however, that the institution by or against any Nonmaterial Subsidiary of any proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law relating to it or to all or any material part of its Property shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if a voluntary filing has been made (or a determination not to contest an involuntary filing has been made) with the approval of the Board of Directors of Borrower; or

(k) A Change in Control occurs; or

(l) To the extent not permitted by Section 6.3, the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or Borrower or any such Subsidiary, any of their partners, members, directors or stockholders, as the case may be, shall take action seeking to effect the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or such Subsidiary; or

(m) The occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is or may hereafter be specifically defined in any other Loan Document) under any other Loan Document; or

(n) Any Pension Plan maintained by Borrower is finally determined by the PBGC to have a material “accumulated funding deficiency” as that term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA in excess of an amount equal to 5% of the consolidated total assets of Borrower as of the most-recently ended Fiscal Quarter; or

(o) Any holder of a Subordinated Obligation asserts in writing that such Subordinated Obligation is not subordinated to the Obligations in accordance with its terms and Borrower does not promptly deny in writing such assertion and contest any attempt by such holder to take action based on such assertion;

(p) Any event occurs which gives the holder or holders of any Subordinated Obligation (or an agent or trustee on its or their behalf) the right to declare such Subordinated Obligation due before the date on which it otherwise would become due, or the right (other than by reason of a Change in Control) to require the issuer thereof, to redeem or purchase, or offer to redeem or purchase, all or any portion of any Subordinated Obligation, or a final judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction that any Subordinated Obligation is not subordinated in accordance with its terms to the Obligations; or

(q) In the good faith judgment of the Administrative Agent, any Material Adverse Event shall have occurred.

9.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

Without limiting any other rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, or by applicable Law, or in equity, or otherwise:

(a) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j):

(1) all obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of Borrower and any other Parties under the Loan Documents shall be suspended without notice to or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower, except that all of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders (as the case may be, in accordance with Section 11.2) may waive an Event of Default or, without waiving, determine, upon terms and conditions satisfactory to the Lenders or Requisite Lenders, as the case may be, to reinstate such obligations and rights, which waiver or determination shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders; and

(2) the Requisite Lenders may request the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(j), the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or any of them, without notice to (except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower (except as to notices expressly provided for in any Loan Document), may proceed (but only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) to protect, exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents against Borrower and any other Party and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity.

(d) The order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender) of the Administrative Agent and of the Lenders,

and thereafter paid pro rata to the Lenders in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders. Regardless of how each Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing Borrower’s Obligations hereunder and under the Notes, payments shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and third, to the payment of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. No application of payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

Article 10.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment and Authorization.

Subject to Section 10.8, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably incidental, as determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto. This appointment and authorization is intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Facility and does not constitute appointment of the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Lender or as representative of any Lender for any other purpose and, except as specifically set forth in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall take such action and exercise such powers only in an administrative and ministerial capacity.

10.2 Administrative Agent and Affiliates.

Each Administrative Agent which is at any time also a Lender hereunder has the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” includes such Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Each Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof, or any Affiliate of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent need not account to any other Lender for any monies received by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses as Administrative Agent hereunder, or (subject to Section 11.10) for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,

duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

10.3 Proportionate Interest in any Collateral.

The Administrative Agent, on behalf of all the Lenders, shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of any collateral or interests therein received or held by the Administrative Agent. Subject to the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other professional services and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in accordance with Section 9.2(d), each Lender shall have an interest in the Lenders’ interest in such collateral or interests therein in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed such Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders.

10.4 Lenders’ Credit Decisions.

(a) Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.

(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender severally represents and warrants to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (i) that such Lender has been furnished with all information that it has requested for the purpose of evaluating its proposed acquisition of the Note and Warrants to be issued to it pursuant hereto, (ii) that it is acquiring such Note and Warrants for its own account for investment and not for distribution in any manner that would violate applicable securities laws, but without prejudice to its rights to dispose of such Note and Warrants or a portion thereof to a transferee or transferees in accordance with such laws and the terms hereof if at some future time such Lender deems it advisable to do so, (iii) that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D of the Securities Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (iv) the such Lender is not subject to ERISA nor are any of the funds used to acquire the Note and Warrants derived from an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA. Each Lender understands that such Note and Warrants are being issued to it in a transaction which is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and that Borrower is relying upon Lender’s representations and warranties in connection therewith.

10.5 Action by Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may assume that no Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent (or the Lender that is then the Administrative Agent) has received notice from Borrower stating the nature of the Default or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature of the Default and that such Lender considers the Default to have occurred and to be continuing.

(b) The Administrative Agent has only those obligations under the Loan Documents as are expressly set forth therein.

(c) Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act, except that the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 11.2) and those instructions shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent.

(d) If the Administrative Agent has received a notice specified in clause (a), the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice thereof to the Lenders and shall act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 11.2), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent, and except that if the Requisite Lenders (or all the Lenders, if required under Section 11.2) fail, for five (5) Banking Days after the receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, to instruct the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may act or not act as it deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Lenders.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Lender for acting, or not acting, as instructed by the Requisite Lenders (or all the Lenders, if required under Section 11.2), notwithstanding any other provision hereof.

10.6 Liability of Administrative Agent.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:

(a) May treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by the payee, and may treat each Lender as the owner of that Lender’s interest in the Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by that Lender;

(b) May consult with legal counsel (including in-house legal counsel), accountants (including in-house accountants) and other professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts for Borrower or any other Obligor and/or any of their Affiliates or the Lenders, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts;

(c) Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statement, warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement (written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents;

(d) Except to the extent expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Obligor of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect any Collateral or any Property, books or records of Borrower or any other Obligor;

(e) Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any other instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or any Collateral;

(f) Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement, request or other instrument or writing believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and

(g) Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in computing any amount paid or payable by Borrower or any other Obligor or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any Lender under any Loan Document, including principal, interest, Advances and other amounts; provided that, promptly upon discovery of such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and (to the extent applicable) Borrower and/or any other applicable Obligor shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to restore the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the error not occurred.

10.7 Indemnification.

Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its proportion of the aggregate Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or

disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of Borrower to pay the Indebtedness represented by the Notes) or any action taken or not taken by it as Administrative Agent thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that Borrower or any other Party are required by Section 11.3 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand. Nothing in this Section 10.7 shall entitle the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above to recover any amount from the Lenders if and to the extent that such amount has theretofore been recovered from Borrower or any of the other Obligors. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above is later reimbursed such amount by Borrower or any of the other Obligors, it shall return the amounts paid to it by the Lenders in respect of such amount.

10.8 Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon reasonable notice to the Lenders and Borrower effective upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by Borrower (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10, and Sections 11.3 and 11.11, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.

10.9 No Obligations of Borrower.

Nothing contained in this Article 10 shall be deemed to impose upon Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the Administrative Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and Borrower shall have no liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Borrower’s obligations to the Lenders in respect of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided by this Agreement. In addition, Borrower may rely on a written statement by the Administrative Agent to the effect that it has obtained the written consent of the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable under Section 11.2, in connection with a waiver, amendment, consent, approval or other action by the Lenders hereunder, and shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the same.

Article 11.
MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver.

The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of Article 8 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Borrowing without prejudicing the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Borrowing.

11.2 Amendments; Consents.

No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by Borrower or any other Party therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the written approval of the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which Borrower is a Party, signed by Borrower, and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement to Article 10, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given;

and, without the approval in writing of all the Lenders, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be effective:

(a) To amend or modify the principal of, or the amount of principal, principal prepayments or the rate of interest payable on, any Note, or the amount of the Facility or the Pro Rata Share of the Facility of any Lender or the amount of any commitment fee payable to any Lender, or any other fee or amount payable to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) under the Loan Documents or to waive an Event of Default consisting of the failure of Borrower to pay when due principal, interest or any fee;

(b) To postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest on, any Note or any installment of any fee, or to extend the term of the Facility;

(d) To release any Guarantor from its Guaranty or to release any Collateral from the Lien of the Collateral Documents with a book value (as determined in accordance with GAAP) in excess of $50,000 except if such release of Collateral occurs in connection with a Disposition of assets permitted under Section 6.4 or other action permitted under the Loan Documents, in which case such release shall not require the consent of any of the Lenders; or

(e) To amend or waive Article 8 or this Section 11.2; or

(f) To amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all the Lenders.

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

11.3 Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

Borrower shall pay within five (5) Banking Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Closing Date Lenders in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and any amendment thereto or waiver thereof; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Closing Date Lenders in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents executed on or before the Closing Date shall be payable on the Closing Date and the amount of such legal fees shall not exceed $200,000. Borrower shall also pay on demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related thereto. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees,

and other out-of-pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including reasonably allocated costs of legal counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether or not such costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with or during the course of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any Borrower, any other Obligor or any Subsidiary thereof Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by a Lender’s overall net income imposed on it by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is “doing business”, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Obligor (or any Subsidiary thereof) to perform any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Section 11.3 shall bear interest from the fifth Banking Day following the date of demand for payment at the Default Rate.

11.4 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations.

The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with Borrower, any other Obligor or any Affiliate of any Obligor. A default by any Lender will not increase the Commitment of any other Lender or the Pro Rata Share of the Facility attributable to any other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume (in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree) the obligations of any Lender in default, but no Lender is obligated to do so.

11.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or more of the Parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the Advances hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.

11.6 Notices.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under any

other Loan Document must be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched by commercial courier or delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as to any party to any Loan Document, at any other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other parties to such Loan Document in accordance with this Section. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or permitted by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective on the earlier of receipt or the fourth Banking Day after deposit in the United States mail with first class or airmail postage prepaid; if given by telegraph or cable, when delivered to the telegraph company with charges prepaid; if given by telecopier, when sent; if dispatched by commercial courier, on the scheduled delivery date; or if given by personal delivery, when delivered.

11.7 Execution of Loan Documents.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution of any such counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party. The execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.

11.8 Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a Party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign its rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the Lenders. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such Lender). Any Lender may at any time pledge its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

(b) From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Advances owing to it and the Note held by it); provided that, subject to subsection (f) below, (i) such Eligible Assignee, if not then a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and Borrower (neither of which approvals shall be unreasonably

withheld or delayed); provided, however, that any such assignment by Camden Partners (or either of them) to any Person which is not an Affiliate of the transferor shall require the approval of Borrower, which may be given or withheld in Borrower’s sole discretion, (ii) such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment and Acceptance, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iii) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the entire remaining rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, the assignment shall not assign a portion of such Advances owing to such assigning Lender that is equivalent to less than $3,000,000, and (iv) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date which is five (5) Banking Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Assignment and Acceptance. Upon the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Advances therein set forth and, to the extent of such Advances, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver (against delivery by the assigning Lender to Borrower of such Lender’s Notes) to such assignee Lender, Notes evidencing that assignee Lender’s Advances, and to the assigning Lender, Notes evidencing the remaining balance of the Advances retained by the assigning Lender.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the rights and obligations hereunder being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance by Borrower of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments held by each Lender, giving effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. The Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection

by Borrower or any Lender upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. After receipt of a completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Lender or Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, provide to Borrower and the Lenders a revised Schedule 1.1 giving effect thereto. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the Pro Rata Shares of the Facility listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder shall be effective, in each case unless and until an Assignment and Acceptance effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Pro Rata Shares of the Facility shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Pro Rata Shares of the Facility.

(e) Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Section 11.11 but only to the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would have incurred in respect of the Lender granting such participation absent the participation, (iv) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Facility as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the Facility, or in the granting Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby and (vi) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which (A) extend any Maturity Date or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to the Lenders, (B) reduce the rate of interest on the Notes, any fee or any other monetary amount payable to the Lenders, (C) reduce the amount of any installment of principal due under the Notes, or (D) release any Guarantor from its Guaranty.

(f) Borrower agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender shall be entitled to assign its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents, or grant participation interests in its rights under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, to any Person, in whole or in any part thereof, notwithstanding any provisions contained herein (including those set forth in subsection (b) above) or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, except that, other

than (i) assignments by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or (ii) pledges described in the last sentence of subsection (a) above, no assignment shall be made without the approval of the Administrative Agent.

11.9 Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Requisite Lenders have declared all or any part of the unpaid principal balance of the Notes to be forthwith due and payable (for purposes hereof, an “Acceleration”), the Administrative Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) may exercise its rights under Article 9 of the UCC and other applicable Laws and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any Property of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations. Without limitation of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree (and, by their execution of the Subsidiary Guaranty, each of the Guarantors does also acknowledge and agree) that following an Acceleration and during the continuance thereof Alkhaleej shall have the right to offset any or all franchise payments of any and all types owed by it to any Obligor against delinquent Obligations owed to it by such Obligor.

11.10 Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 11.10(b), each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an

Obligation so purchased pursuant to this Section 11.10 may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.10(a) above, the parties hereto do acknowledge and agree that Alkhaleej shall have no obligation to share with any other Lender any amount received or deemed to have been received by it in connection with the exercise of its right to offset franchise payments owed by it to any Obligor against delinquent Obligations owed to it by such Obligor as further described in Section 11.9 above. The amount of any such offset shall reduce dollar-for-dollar the outstanding amount of the Advances owed to Alkhaleej.

11.11 Indemnity by Borrower.

Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any amount excluded from the definition of “Taxes” in Section 3.6(d)) if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrower, any other Obligor, any Affiliate of any Obligor or any partner, officer, director, stockholder, or other equity interest holder of any Obligor relating to the Facility, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Borrowing, or the relationship of Borrower and the Lenders under this Agreement; (b) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and (c) any and all liabilities, losses, reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by any Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any liability, loss, cost or expense caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or for any liability, loss, cost or expense asserted against it by another Indemnitee. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower’s right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided. Such Indemnitee may (and shall, if requested by Borrower in writing) contest the validity, applicability and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower to participate in such contest. Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 11.11 against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by the same legal counsel (which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or attorneys employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected by the Indemnitees, provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good faith that

representing all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each affected Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnitee, with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further provided that the Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to representation by separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or a combination of the foregoing). Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.11 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Borrowings and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.

11.12 Nonliability of the Lenders.

Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) Any inspections of any Property of Borrower or any other Obligor made by or through the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Facility only and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the expense of Borrower);

(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;

(c) The relationship between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates of any matter in connection with their Property or the operations of Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates; Borrower, the other Obligors and their respective Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the

Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and

(d) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower, any other Obligor and/or any of their respective Affiliates and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

11.13 No Third Parties Benefited.

This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Facility, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ successors and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 11.8 and 11.11, no other Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

11.14 Confidentiality.

Each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information that it may receive from Borrower pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure: (a) to other Lenders or Affiliates of a Lender; (b) to legal counsel and accountants for Borrower, any other Obligor or any Lender; (c) to other professional advisors to Borrower or any other Obligor or any Lender, provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 11.14; (d) to regulatory officials having jurisdiction over that Lender; (e) as required by Law or legal process, provided that each Lender agrees to notify Borrower of any such disclosures unless prohibited by applicable Laws, or in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender and Borrower or any other Obligor are adverse parties; and (f) to another financial institution in connection with a disposition or proposed disposition to that financial institution of all or part of that Lender’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Note(s), provided that the recipient has accepted such information subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially similar to this Section 11.14. For purposes of the foregoing, “confidential information” shall mean any information respecting Borrower or any other Obligor reasonably considered by Borrower to be confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with any Governmental Agency and available to the public, (ii) information previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, that Lender, and (iii) information previously disclosed by Borrower or such other Obligor to any Person not associated with Borrower or such other Obligor which does not owe a professional duty of confidentiality to Borrower or such other Obligor or which has not executed an appropriate confidentiality agreement with Borrower or such other Obligor. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to Borrower or any other Obligor.

11.15 Further Assurances.

Borrower shall, at its expense and without expense to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring and confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan Document.

11.16 Integration.

This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and the Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document or the Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document or in the Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document and the Preferred Stock Exchange Agreement was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

11.17 Governing Law.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED THEREIN, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF CALIFORNIA. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, OR, AT THE SOLE OPTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER, IN ANY OTHER COURT IN WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND/OR ANY LENDER SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THEY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND HEREBY CONSENT TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY ANY SUCH COURT. FURTHERMORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF “FORUM NON CONVENIENS” OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 11.17.

11.18 Severability of Provisions.

Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

11.19 Headings.

Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

11.20 Time of the Essence.

Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

11.21 [Intentionally Omitted].

11.22 Hazardous Material Indemnity.

Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and expenses to the extent that the defense of any such action has not been assumed by Borrower), arising directly or indirectly out of (a) the presence on, in, under or about any Real Property of any Hazardous Materials, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from any Real Property and (b) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off any Real Property by Borrower, any other Obligor or any of their predecessors in title, whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement, and whether by Borrower, any other Obligor or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors of Borrower, any other Obligor or any predecessor in title, or any third persons at any time occupying or present on any Real Property, in connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean-up, transport or disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on, in, under or about any Real Property. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination on, in, under or about any Real Property, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Property or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of whether any of such activities were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to Hazardous Materials on, in, under or about any Real Property, the presence of which is caused by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the obligations of Borrower under this Section shall be unlimited obligations of Borrower and shall not be secured by any Lien on any Real Property. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.22 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Advances and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the Lenders.

11.23 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

11.24 Purported Oral Amendments.

BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY ONLY BE AMENDED OR MODIFIED, OR THE PROVISIONS HEREOF OR THEREOF WAIVED OR SUPPLEMENTED, BY AN INSTRUMENT IN WRITING THAT COMPLIES WITH SECTION 11.2. BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT RELY ON ANY COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH SECTION 11.2 TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, WAIVER OR SUPPLEMENT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

11.25 Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.

Each party to this Agreement specifically represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that neither it nor any of its Affiliates (a) is a Person designated by the U.S. Government on the list of the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (the “SDN List”) with which a U.S. Person cannot deal with or otherwise engage in business transactions, (b) is a Person who is otherwise the target of U.S. economic sanctions laws such that a U.S. Person cannot deal or otherwise engage in business transactions with such Person; or (c) is owned or controlled, in whole or in part, by (including without limitation by virtue of such Person being a director or owning voting shares or interests), or acts, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of, any Person on the SDN Lists or a foreign government that is the target of U.S. economic sanctions prohibitions such that the entry into this Agreement would be prohibited under U.S. law.

EXHIBIT A

ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
