AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE TERM LOANS

SECTION 2.01. Term Loan Commitments. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make a term loan or loans (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrowers in two (2) advances, which shall, in each case, be deposited into the DIP Proceeds Controlled Account. The Borrowers shall only be entitled to withdraw amounts from the DIP Proceeds Controlled Account if (a) the aggregate amount of Controlled Cash in all accounts (other than the DIP Proceeds Controlled Account held by the Borrowers (whether or not subject to a Control Account Agreement) is less than $3,000,000 at such time, (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than with respect to the initial advance, any Default or Event of Default arising solely as a result of a breach of Section 5.04(b) hereof), and (c) the

Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the Chief Financial Officer of the Administrative Borrower, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, certifying as to the aggregate amount of Controlled Cash in all accounts (other than the DIP Proceeds Controlled Account) held by the Borrowers (whether or not subject to a Control Account Agreement). The first advance of Term Loans shall be made on the Closing Date in an aggregate amount for each Lender equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Percentage of the Interim Order Amount, but in no event shall such amount exceed such Lender’s Commitment. The second and final advance of Term Loans shall be made on the Final Order Funding Date in an aggregate amount for each Lender equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Percentage of the Final Order Amount; provided, that with respect to each Lender, the aggregate amount of the Term Loans made pursuant to this sentence and the previous sentence shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Each Term Loan may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Making the Term Loans. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the hearing for approval of the Interim Order or the Final Order, as the case may be, by the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telecopier or electronic communication. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or by telecopier or electronic communication, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested Interim Order Amount in the case of the Borrowing on the Closing Date or Final Order Amount in the case of the Borrowing on the Final Order Funding Date. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments under the Facility of the Lenders. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrowers by transfer of such funds to the DIP Proceeds Controlled Account in like funds as received.

(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Term Loans to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Term Loans, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable

portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.05 to Term Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Term Loans to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Term Loans on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Term Loans to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03. Repayment of Term Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on the Maturity Date (or on such earlier date on which the Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Article VI), together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (which amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.04).

SECTION 2.04. Prepayments. (a) Optional. Any Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (x) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (y) if any prepayment is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Term Loan, the Borrowers shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

(b) Mandatory. (i) If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property or assets, including, without limitation, any of the Canadian Refractive Centers, whether pursuant to a sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 5.02(e)) and sales or issuances by Parent of its Equity Interests referred to in clause (ii) below), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all such Net Cash Proceeds immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary. The Interim Order Amount and the Final Order Amount, as applicable, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of Net Cash Proceeds from any sale of property or assets described in this Section 2.04(b)(i) in excess of the amount applied to reduce the aggregate outstanding amount of the Term Loans to zero, unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders.

(ii) Upon the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any of its Equity Interests (other than sales or issuances of Equity

Interests in connection with customary compensation or benefit programs), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof.

(iii) Upon the incurrence or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 5.02(b)), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary.

(iv) Upon the receipt of any proceeds from an Extraordinary Receipt not otherwise included in this Section 2.04(b), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary.

(v) All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with (A) accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid, and (B) any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

(vi) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Section 2.04(b)(i) – (iv) shall not apply to any of the following transactions:

(A) incurrence of trade payables;

(B) vendor or leasehold financing; or

(C) distributions or dividends paid to minority partners or received from majority owners governed by existing operating agreements or practice,

in the case of each of (A), (B), and (C), in compliance with the Budget (subject to the proviso in Section 5.04(a)).

SECTION 2.05. Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan owing to each Lender from the date of such Term Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full at a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Term Loan to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Term Loan plus (B) ten percent (10.00%) per annum, payable in cash in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and the date such Term Loan shall be paid in full.

(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Term Loans and all other due and unpaid Obligations shall bear interest (“Default Interest”) at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2.00% per annum above the rate per annum described in Section 2.05(a). All such interest shall be payable on demand by the Required Lenders in cash.

(c) Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period,” the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Administrative Borrower and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period and the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a) above.

SECTION 2.06. Fees. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata accounts of the Lenders, (a) an exit fee (the “Exit Fee”) equal to 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Facility on the Closing Date, payable on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date, and (ii) the date on which the Facility is paid in full and all Commitments of the Lenders are terminated in full, (b) an extension fee (the “Extension Fee”) equal to 2.00% of the outstanding amount of the Facility, payable on any date the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof or otherwise, and (c) an unused fee equal to 0.75% of the average daily undrawn amount of the Facility during each calendar quarter, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September, and December, commencing December 31, 2009, and on the Maturity Date. The Borrowers further agree jointly and severally to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account or, as the case may be, for the account of the Lenders, the fees in the amounts and on the dates from time to time agreed to in writing by the Administrative Borrower on the one hand and the Administrative Agent and/or any Lenders, on the other.

SECTION 2.07. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case after the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date on which the affected Lender became a Lender under this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Term Loans (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.07, any such increased costs resulting from (A) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.09 shall govern) and (B) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; and provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be responsible for costs under this Section 2.07(a) arising more than 180 days prior to receipt by the Administrative Borrower of the demand from the affected Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07(a); and provided further that a Lender claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.07(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Administrative Borrower by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), in each case after the date of this Agreement or, if later, the date on which the affected Lender became a Lender under this Agreement, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder, then, upon written demand by such Lender to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be responsible for costs under this Section 2.07(b) arising more than 180 days prior to receipt by the Administrative Borrower of the demand from the affected Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07(b). A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Administrative Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Term Loans as to which the rate of interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate or to continue to fund or maintain Term Loans hereunder as to which the rate of interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Administrative Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make Term Loans as to which the rate of interest is determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist (but such Lender shall make Term Loans in an amount equal to the amount of Term Loans that would have been made by such Lender at such time in the absence of such circumstances and such Term Loans shall bear interest at the rate equal to such Lender’s actual costs of making or maintaining such Term Loans plus ten percent (10.00%) per annum), and (ii) such Lender’s Term Loans then bearing interest at a rate of interest determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate, if any, shall be converted automatically to Term Loans bearing interest at the rate equal to such Lender’s actual costs of making or maintaining such Term Loans plus ten percent (10.00%) per annum on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Term Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Term Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Term Loans and would not, in the commercially reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(d) In the event that any Lender demands payment of costs or additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.07 or Section 2.09 or asserts, pursuant to Section 2.07(c), that

it is unlawful for such Lender to make Term Loans bearing interest at a rate of interest determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate or becomes a Defaulting Lender then (subject to such Lender’s right to rescind such demand or assertion within ten (10) days after the notice from the Administrative Borrower referred to below) the Administrative Borrower may, upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, elect to cause such Lender to assign its Term Loans and Commitments in full to one or more Persons selected by the Administrative Borrower so long as (i) each such Person satisfies the criteria of an Eligible Assignee and is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) such Lender receives payment in full in cash of the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans made by it and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable to such Lender as of the date of such assignment (including, without limitation, amounts owing pursuant to this Section 2.07 and Section 2.09) and (iii) each such assignee agrees to accept such assignment and to assume all obligations of such Lender hereunder in accordance with Section 9.07.

SECTION 2.08. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12), not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrowers is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to more than one Lender, to such Lenders for the account of their respective Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lenders and (ii) if such payment by the Borrowers is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender, to such Lender for the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) The Borrowers hereby authorize each Lender and each of its Affiliates, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrowers’ accounts with such Lender or such Affiliate any amount so due.

(c) All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate, as applicable, and each computation of interest or of fees, as applicable, shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each

determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

(e) If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Secured Party in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in a receipt by that Secured Party of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, that would not be so prohibited by applicable law or so result in a receipt by that Secured Party of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows:

(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and

(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).

(f) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Term Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Administrative Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(h) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, unless otherwise directed by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, after the payment of all expenses due under the Loan Documents, shall distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s pro rata share of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding at such time, in payment of such of the outstanding Term Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

SECTION 2.09. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender or any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.08 or the applicable provisions of such other Loan Document, if any, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, fees, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and each Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States, including any branch profit taxes, and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof), including any branch profits taxes, by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof), including any branch profits taxes by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or where such Lenders are otherwise conducting business (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or any Agent, (i) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.09) such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made by such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender and each Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.09, imposed on or paid by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed by the relevant

Governmental Authority. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the appropriate Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or on behalf of a Loan Party through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of a Loan Party by a payor that is not a United States person, if such Loan Party determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Loan Party shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.09, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) Each Lender entitled to an exemption from, or reduction or, withholding tax shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender party to this Agreement as of the date hereof and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Administrative Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN or (in the case of a Lender that has certified in writing to the Administrative Agent that it is not (i) a “bank” (as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code), (ii) a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of any Loan Party or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Loan Party (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code)), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, or any such form or forms as may be required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax in such jurisdiction, certifying that such Lender is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or, in the case of a Lender that has certified that it is not a “bank” as described above, certifying that such Lender is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the forms provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States or other interest withholding tax rate, as applicable, in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 2.09 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to

in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or the related certificate described above, or any forms required by any jurisdiction other than the United States that the applicable Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Administrative Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.09 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

SECTION 2.10. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment or participation pursuant to Section 9.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all Lenders at such time, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and each such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (B) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (1) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (2) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Loan

Parties agree that any Lender so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Loan Parties in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.11. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used solely in accordance with the Budget in compliance with Section 5.04(a).

SECTION 2.12. Defaulting Lenders. (a) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Loan to the Borrowers and (iii) the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally required to make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers (or any of them) may, so long as no Default shall occur or be continuing at such time and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the Borrowers to make such payment to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Loan. In the event that, on any date, the Borrowers (or any of them) shall so set off and otherwise apply their obligation to make any such payment against the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Loan on or prior to such date, the amount so set off and otherwise applied by the Borrowers shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents a Term Loan by such Defaulting Lender made on the date of such setoff under the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted Loan was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Term Loans shall be considered, for all purposes of this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Loan was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. The Administrative Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any time the Borrowers(or any of them) exercise their right of set-off pursuant to this subsection (a) and shall set forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Loan required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such Defaulted Loan pursuant to this subsection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required to be made by the Borrowers to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the Borrowers, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by the Borrowers pursuant to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 2.12.

(b) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to any Agent or any of the other Lenders and (iii) the Borrowers shall make any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Agents or such other Lenders and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by the Borrowers to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to such extent, of such

Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by the Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the Administrative Agent to such other Agents or such other Lenders in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the Agents for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to the Agents;

(ii) second, to the Lenders for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing to them; and

(iii) third, to such Defaulting Lender.

Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender remaining after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender and applied by such Lender to the Obligations owing to such Lender at such time under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Obligations outstanding at such time.

(c) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.12 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Loan and that any Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.

SECTION 2.13. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Term Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrowers agree that upon notice by any Lender to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Term Loans owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto payable to the order of such Lender (or, at such Lender’s request, payable to such Lender and its registered assigns), in a principal amount equal to the Term Loans of such Lender. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall record (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or in such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.14. Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) Requests for Extension. The Administrative Borrower may, upon no less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice from the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent, request that the Maturity Date be extended by up to sixty (60) days. Such request may be made by the Administrative Borrower not more than once.

(b) Conditions to Extension of Maturity Date. The agreement of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to extend the Maturity Date shall be subject, in each case, to the satisfaction, or waiver by the Required Lenders, of the following conditions precedent:

(i) the Administrative Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, a certificate of each Loan Party, executed by a duly authorized officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such extension of the Maturity Date and (B) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such extension of the Maturity Date, (I) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the existing Maturity Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; provided, that any representation or warranty that is qualified by “materiality”, “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such respective dates, and (II) no Default or Event of Default exists or is continuing;

(ii) the Administrative Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, projections demonstrating compliance, on a pro forma basis, with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.04, for the period through which the Administrative Borrower has requested such extension of the Maturity Date;

(iii) the Administrative Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders, an updated Budget for the period through which the Borrower has requested such extension of the Maturity Date;

(iv) no Default or Event of Default shall exist or be continuing or will occur as a result of or immediately after giving effect to any such extension;

(v) the Administrative Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of each Lender, the Extension Fee payable pursuant to Section 2.06; and

(vi) the Administrative Borrower shall have delivered all such instruments, documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, duly executed and delivered by each party thereto.

SECTION 2.15. Joint and Several Obligations; Administrative Borrower.

(a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b) Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.15), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several Obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(d) The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 2.15 constitute full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstance whatsoever.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each of the Borrowers hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Term Loans made under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Lenders under or in respect of any of the Obligations, and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Each of the Borrowers hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any

default by any of the Borrowers in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any of the Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, each of the Borrowers assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Lenders with respect to the failure by any of the Borrowers to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.15, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any of the Borrowers, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.15, it being the intention of each of the Borrowers that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Borrowers under this Section 2.15 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each of the Borrowers under this Section 2.15 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, re-construction or similar proceeding with respect to any of the Borrowers or the Lenders. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any of the Borrowers or the Lenders.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.15 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and permitted assigns, and may be enforced in good faith by them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as the occasion therefor may arise and, to the extent permitted by law, without requirement on the part of the Lenders first to marshal any of their claims or to exercise any of their rights against any other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to them against any other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.15 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement Obligations in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto) shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders, the provisions of this Section 2.15 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(g) Any notice, request, waiver, consent or other action made, given or taken by any Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents shall bind all Borrowers.

(h) Each Borrower hereby authorizes Holdco to act as agent for each Borrower (in such capacity, the “Administrative Borrower”) and to execute and deliver on behalf of each Borrower such notices, requests, waivers, consents, certificates and other documents, and to take any and all actions required or permitted to be delivered or taken by any Borrower hereunder.

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Obligations of the Loan Parties), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or if so required under this Agreement, all Lenders), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in such Agent’s reasonable opinion, could expose such Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VII (including, without limitation, Section 7.05) as though the Collateral Agent were an “Agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(c) Each Lender hereby appoints the Collateral Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders as secured party. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

(d) Any Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

(e) With respect to the release of Collateral, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any property covered by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to release a Subsidiary from its obligations as Guarantor, if applicable, and to execute and deliver all documents referred to in Section 9.11 (i) upon termination or expiration of the Commitments, the payment and satisfaction of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement Obligations in respect to which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto) arising with respect to the Term Loans (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents); or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents (and the Collateral Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any certificate stating that the property is being sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, without further inquiry); provided, however, that (A) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any release on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (B) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair any Liens upon all interests retained, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral covered by the Loan Documents.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents. The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” herein or in the other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)

obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

SECTION 7.02. Agents’ Reliance, Etc.

SECTION 7.03. Rights as a Lender. Each Lender serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include each Lender serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under the indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if such Lenders were not Agents and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders No Agent shall have any duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as such Agent.

SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any other Agent Party have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs or property of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party or any acceptance or consent to any such review, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including as to whether Agent Parties have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender also acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agents hereunder, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of an Agent or Agent Party.

SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify each Agent and each other Agent Party (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrowers) from and against such Lender’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent or Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent’ under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s or Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action by any Agent or Agent Party taken or refrained from in accordance with the directions or consent of the Required Lenders (or if so required under this Agreement, all Lenders) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or Agent Party for purposes of this Section 7.05. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrowers under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.

(b) For purposes of this Section 7.05, each Lender’s ratable share of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding at such time and owing to such Lender and (ii) the aggregate unused portion of such Lender’s Commitments at any time prior to the Final Order Funding Date. The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender to such Agent as provided herein

shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 7.06. Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders upon 3 Business Days notice; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it has also been replaced as Collateral Agent and released from all of its obligations in respect thereof; provided, further, that the successor Administrative Agent shall not be required, but shall be permitted, to act as replacement Collateral Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent and, in the case of a successor Collateral Agent, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 7.06 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (a) the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (b) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.07. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.

The Borrower further agrees that the Agents may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on IntraLinks® or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.

Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay on demand (i) all reasonable costs and expenses of each Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of, or any consent or waiver under, the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for each Agent with respect thereto, with respect to advising such Agent as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency, refinancing or restructuring of the financing under the Loan Documents in the nature of a “work-out” or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto), (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Required Lenders (including, without limitation, Special Counsel, Stikeman Elliott LLP, as Canadian counsel, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, as Delaware counsel) with respect to any matter referred to in clause (a)(i) hereof to the same extent as if it were an Agent thereunder, and (iii) all costs and expenses of each Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Agents and each Lender with respect thereto).

(b) The Borrowers agree to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, disbursements associated with monitoring of the Cases, all appraisal charges and other liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Loans, the Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, disbursement, charge, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors, any Indemnified Party or any other Person, and whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto. The Borrowers also agree not to assert any claim against any Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the

proceeds of the Term Loans, the Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

(d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in Section 2.07 and Section 2.09 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.05. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or (b) the acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Agent, such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have.

SECTION 9.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrowers, Guarantors and each Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each initial Lender that such initial Lender has executed it, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, Guarantors, each Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that none of the Borrowers shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender.

SECTION 9.07. Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if demanded by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(d) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, will assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Term Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, except during the initial syndication of the Commitments and the Term Loans, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Administrative Borrower), (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iii) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(d) shall be arranged by the Borrowers after consultation with the Administrative Agent and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (iv) no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(d) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrowers or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and (v) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, and shall deliver any Note or Notes (if any) subject to such assignment (provided such delivery may occur after an assignment is effective), and shall pay a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(d), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent the applicable processing and recordation fee.

(b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender

hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Section 2.07 and Section 2.09 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Term Loans shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon a register (the “Register”) maintained by the Administrative Agent as Registrar (the “Registrar”), acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers. The Registrar shall maintain the Register at its address referred to in Section 9.02 for the recordation of the names and addresses of the owners of the Term Loans and any related Notes from time to time. The Registrar shall record each transfer of the Term Loans and any related Notes to a transferee on the Register upon written notification by the registered owner of such transfer (with the Registrar being allowed to rely conclusively on any such notification). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agents and Lenders may deem and treat the Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of the Term Loans and any related Notes for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal and interest due on the Loans and any related Notes and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided that, failure to make any such recordation, or

any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Term Loan. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and the Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrowers’ agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 9.07, and each Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the Administrative Agent and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents shall constitute an “Indemnified Party” under Section 9.04(b).

At the request of the registered owner of any Term Loan and any related Notes, the Registrar shall note a collateral assignment of such Term Loan and any related Notes on the Register and, provided that the Registrar has been given the name and address of such collateral assignee, the Registrar (i) shall not permit any further transfers of such Term Loan and any related Notes on the Register absent receipt of written consent to such transfers from such collateral assignee and (ii) shall record the transfer of such Term Loan and any related Notes on the Register to such collateral assignee (or such collateral assignee’s designee, nominee or assignee) upon written request by such collateral assignee.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Borrower and each other Agent. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Administrative Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of and in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes (if any) if such Note is requested by the Eligible Assignee, a new Note in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender that had a Note or Notes prior to such assignment has retained a Commitment hereunder, upon such Lender’s request a new Note in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Term Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers, the Agents 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 and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Term Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to

such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Term Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or substantially all of the Collateral or the value of the Guaranties.

(g) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any Information received by it from such Lender in accordance with Section 9.09(f).

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Term Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Term Loans owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that, unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 9.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

(j) In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 9.07, the Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that (i) the Lenders, their Affiliates and Approved Funds (“Securitizing Parties”) may sell or securitize the Term Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Term Loans as collateral security for loans to a Securitizing Party or the assignment or issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Term Loans (such as, for instance, collateralized loan obligations), and (ii) such Securitization may be rated by a rating agency. The Loan Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Securitizing Parties to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (A) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization; provided that (1) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose material additional costs on Borrowers and (2) any such amendment or additional documentation does not materially adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Borrowers the financial terms of the Term Loans, (B) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders or rating agencies in connection with the rating of the Term Loans or the Securitization, and (C) providing a certificate (1) agreeing to indemnify the Securitizing Parties, or any party providing credit support or otherwise participating in the Securitization, including any investors in a securitization entity (collectively,

the “Securitization Parties”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Securitization Liabilities”) to which the Securitizing Parties or such Securitization Parties may become subject insofar as the Securitization Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Securitizing Parties in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by the Lenders or their successors or assigns of the Term Loans, and (2) agreeing to reimburse the Loan Parties and the other Securitization Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Securitization Liabilities.

SECTION 9.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.09. Confidentiality. Each Agent and Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, advisors, investors, and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), or to rating agencies, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to any assignee or pledgee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee or pledge of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, provided that such parties agree to be bound by confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those hereunder, and to the Representatives of the foregoing parties, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers, or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.09 or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Representatives on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. The terms of this provision shall supersede and replace any previous agreement regarding the non-disclosure of confidentiality of the Information. This provision shall terminate upon termination of this Agreement. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.09 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.10. Public Disclosure. (a) Other than pleadings filed in the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, no Loan Party or Affiliate thereof will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of any Agent or its Affiliates or any Lender or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and without the prior written consent of the relevant party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless (and only to the extent that) such Loan Party or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Loan Party or Affiliate will consult with the Administrative Agent before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.

(b) No Lender or Affiliate thereof will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure (including, without limitation, the publication of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement) using the name of any Borrower or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Borrower and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless (and only to the extent that) such Lender or Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event, such Lender or Affiliate will consult with the Administrative Borrower before issuing such press release or other public disclosure. The Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

SECTION 9.11. Release or Subordination of Collateral/Release of Guarantor. Upon the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral or the incurrence of Liens permitted under Section 5.02(a)(iv) or Section 5.02(a)(v) (or the sale of a Loan Party that is a Subsidiary of any Borrower) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent will release its Lien on and security interest in such Collateral, or release or subordinate its Lien in case of Liens permitted under Section 5.02(a)(iv) or Section 5.02(a)(v), and, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or subordinate the Lien of the applicable Agent on such item of Collateral to such Lien in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.12. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by any Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Agents and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.13. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, and any appellate court therefrom, in any action or

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Bankruptcy Court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(c) Each of Holdco, TLC Management and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Borrower as its authorized agent to accept service of process in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and agrees that such service of process may be made upon the Administrative Borrower and that the failure of the Administrative Borrower to give any notice of any such service of process shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Each of Holdco, TLC Management and each Guarantor hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing thereof by any Lender by registered or certified mail, postage pre-paid, to it at its address specified herein.

SECTION 9.14. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.15. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Agents and the Lenders irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to any of the Loan Documents, the Term Loans, or the actions of any Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

SECTION 9.16. Release. Subject to applicable terms of the Interim Order and Final Order, each Loan Party hereby acknowledges effective upon entry of the Final Order, that no Loan Party has a defense, counterclaim, offset, recoupment, cross-complaint, claim or demand of any kind or nature whatsoever that can be asserted to reduce or eliminate all or any part of such Loan Party’s liability to repay the Agents or any Lender as provided in this Agreement or to seek affirmative relief or damages of any kind or nature from the Agents or any Lender. Each Loan Party, in its own right, on behalf of their bankruptcy estates, and on behalf of all their successors, assigns, Subsidiaries and any Affiliates and any Person acting for and on behalf of, or claiming through them, (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby fully, finally

and forever releases and discharges the Agents and Lenders and all of their respective past and present officers, directors, servants, agents, attorneys, assigns, heirs, parents, subsidiaries, and each Person acting for or on behalf of any of them (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from any and all past, present and future actions, causes of action, demands, suits, claims, liabilities, Liens, lawsuits, adverse consequences, amounts paid in settlement, costs, damages, debts, deficiencies, diminution in value, disbursements, expenses, losses and other obligations of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether in law, equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, those arising under Sections 541 through 550 of the Bankruptcy Code and interest or other carrying costs, penalties, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses, and incidental, consequential and punitive damages payable to third parties), whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, direct, indirect, or derivative, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, suspected or unsuspected, now existing, heretofore existing or which may heretofore accrue against any of the Released Parties, whether held in a personal or representative capacity, and which in each case are based on any act, fact, event or omission or other matter, cause or thing occurring at or from any time prior to and including the date hereof in any way, directly or indirectly arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement, the Orders, and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all other agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents and statements (whether written or oral) related to any of the foregoing.

12.1.3. The Collateral Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

12.2. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

12.2.1.

12.2.2. All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 12(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

13. As to Letter-of-Credit Rights. 13.1. Each Grantor, by granting a security interest in its Receivables consisting of letter-of-credit rights to the Collateral Agent, intends to (and hereby does) assign to the Collateral Agent its rights (including its contingent rights) to the

proceeds of all Related Contracts consisting of letters of credit of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or assignee. Each Grantor will promptly use its best efforts to cause the issuer of each letter of credit and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the proceeds thereof pursuant to a consent in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and deliver written evidence of such consent to the Collateral Agent.

13.2. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will, promptly upon reasonable request by the Collateral Agent, (i) notify (and such Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to notify) the issuer and each nominated person with respect to each of the Related Contracts consisting of letters of credit that the proceeds thereof have been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder and any payments due or to become due in respect thereof are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee and (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of letter of credit.

14. Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor will promptly give notice to the Collateral Agent of any commercial tort claim that may arise after the date hereof and will immediately execute or otherwise authenticate a supplement to this Agreement, and otherwise take all necessary action, to subject such commercial tort claim to the first priority (subject to the Carve Out and Liens permitted to be equal or superior in priority pursuant to the Credit Agreement) security interest created under this Agreement.

15. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares. 15.1. Each Grantor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of such Grantor except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created under this Agreement and Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement.

15.2. Each Grantor agrees that it will (i) cause each issuer of the Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor not to issue any Equity Interests or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Equity issued by such issuer, except to such Grantor, and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional Equity Interests or other securities of each issuer of the Pledged Equity.

16. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney in Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent such Grantor’s attorney in fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

16.1. to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9,

16.2. to ask for, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral,

16.3. to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and

16.4. to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of any Assigned Agreement or the rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.

17. Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein on or after the date required for performance thereof, the Collateral Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under, and to the extent provided in, Section 20.

18. The Collateral Agent’s Duties. 18.1. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.

18.2. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein in relation to

any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.

19. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

19.1. The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), the Bankruptcy Code, or any other applicable law, and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

19.2. Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral

for, and/or then or at any time thereafter paid (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 20) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement claims in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto), in the following manner:

19.2.1. first, paid to the Collateral Agent for any amounts then owing to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise under the Loan Documents; and

19.2.2. second, ratably, paid to the Secured Parties for any amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, under the Loan Documents and the ratably in accordance with the amounts then owing to the Secured Parties.

Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

19.3. All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

19.4. The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

19.5. The Collateral Agent may send to each bank, securities intermediary or issuer party to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities/Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Uncertificated Security Control Agreement a “Notice of Exclusive Control” as defined in and under such Agreement; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable commercial efforts to rescind such “Notice of Exclusive Control” within a reasonable period of time following the date on which no Default or Event of Default exists.

19.6. In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Agent or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual

Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.

19.7. The Collateral Agent may realize upon the Collateral and enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties by (i) appointment by instrument in writing of a receiver (which term as used in this Agreement includes a receiver and manager) or agent of all or any part of the Collateral and the removal or replacement from time to time of any receiver or agent, and (ii) institution of proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral.

20. Indemnity and Expenses. 20.1. Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

20.2. Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

21. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. 21.1. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

21.2. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this

Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.

All such notices and other communications shall, when mailed, sent by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise, be effective when deposited in the mails, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic mail and confirmed in writing, or otherwise delivered (or confirmed by a signed receipt), respectively, addressed as aforesaid; except that notices and other communications to the Collateral Agent shall not be effective until received by the Collateral Agent.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the Credit Agreement.

24. Release; Termination. 24.1. Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (other than sales of Inventory, equipment and other obsolete or worn-out equipment in the ordinary course of business), the Collateral Agent will, at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that (i) at the time of such request and such release no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such Grantor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release

describing the item of Collateral and the terms of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including, without limitation, the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a form of release for execution by the Collateral Agent and a certificate of such Grantor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance with the Loan Documents and as to such other matters as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (iii) the proceeds of any such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition required to be applied, or any payment to be made in connection therewith, in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement shall, to the extent so required, be paid or made to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the Collateral Agent when and as required under Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement.

26. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

27. Matters Relating to Security.

27.1. As set forth in the Order, each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the effectiveness of the Order, (i) the Secured Obligations shall constitute allowed administrative expenses in such Grantor’s Chapter 11 Case having priority over all administrative expenses of and unsecured claims against such Grantor now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind or nature whatsoever, including without limitation all administrative expenses of the kind specified in Sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject, as to priority, only to the Carve-Out and (B) the security interest shall not be subject to Section 551 of the Bankruptcy Code nor shall the Collateral be charged pursuant to Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

27.2. The security interest and the administrative priority granted by and pursuant to this Agreement hereof may be independently granted by the Loan Documents and by other Loan Documents hereafter entered into. This Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order and such other Loan Documents supplement each other, and the grants, priorities, rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder and thereunder are cumulative.

27.3. The security interest granted hereunder shall be deemed valid, binding, continuing, enforceable and fully-perfected first priority (subject only to the Carve-Out and Liens permitted to be equal or superior in priority pursuant to the Credit Agreement) Liens on the Collateral by entry of the Interim Order and the Final Order, as the case may be. Collateral Agent shall not be required to file any financing statements, notices of Lien or similar instruments in any jurisdiction or filing office or to take any other action in order to validate or perfect the Liens and security interests granted by or pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order or any other Loan Document.

27.4. The security interest, the priority of the security interest, and the administrative priorities and other rights and remedies granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order and the other Collateral Documents (specifically including but not limited to the existence, validity, enforceability, extent, perfection and priority of the Security Interest) and the administrative priority provided herein and therein shall not be modified, altered or impaired in any manner by any other financing or extension of credit or incurrence of debt by any Grantor (pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise), or by any dismissal or conversion of any Bankruptcy Case, or by any other act or omission whatsoever. Without limitation, notwithstanding any such order, financing, extension, incurrence, dismissal, conversion, act or omission:

27.4.1. except for the Carve-Out, no costs or expenses of administration which have been or may be incurred in the Chapter 11 Case or any conversion of the same or in any other proceedings related thereto, and no priority claims, are or will be prior to or on a parity with any claim of Collateral Agent or any Lender against any Grantor in respect of any Secured Obligation;

27.4.2. the security interest granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order and the other Collateral Documents shall constitute valid, binding, continuing, enforceable and fully-perfected first priority (subject only to the Carve-Out and Liens permitted to be equal or superior in priority pursuant to the Credit Agreement) Liens and shall be prior to all other Liens (except the Carve-Out and Liens permitted to be equal or superior in priority pursuant to the Credit Agreement) and interests, now existing or hereafter arising, in favor of any other creditor or any other Person whatsoever; and

27.4.3. the security interest granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order and the Collateral Documents shall continue to be valid, binding, continuing, enforceable and fully-perfected without the necessity for Collateral Agent to file any financing statements or to otherwise perfect the security interest under applicable non-bankruptcy law.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor has caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

(a) With respect to each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral material to the business of the Grantors, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, and shall not knowingly omit to do any act, including, without limitation, in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and any other relevant governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent, trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings. No Grantor shall, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property Collateral material to the business of the Grantors, taken as a whole, or abandon any right to file an application for patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if such Grantor becomes aware (i) that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral material to the business of the Grantors, taken as a whole, may have become abandoned, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development regarding such Grantor’s ownership or use of any such Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the same, or (ii) of any adverse determination or the institution of any proceeding (including, without limitation, the institution

of any proceeding in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office or any court) regarding any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral material to the business of the Grantors.

(c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral material to the business of the Grantors, taken as a whole, is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall take all reasonable actions, at its expense, to protect or enforce such Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.

(d) Each Grantor shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each item of material Intellectual Property Collateral.

(e) Each Grantor shall take all steps which it or the Collateral Agent deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral material to the business of the Grantors, taken as a whole, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the material Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the material Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality.

(f) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (an “Intellectual Property Security Agreement”), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.

(g) Each Grantor agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in or license to any item of the type set forth in Section 1(g) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. Each Grantor shall give prompt written notice to the Collateral Agent identifying the After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (an “IP Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office and any other relevant governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property.

12. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral or any part thereof.

(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that any and all

otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 12(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.

(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 12(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

13. As to Letter-of-Credit Rights.

(a) Each Grantor, by granting a security interest in its Receivables consisting of letter-of-credit rights to the Collateral Agent, intends to (and hereby does) assign to the Collateral Agent its rights (including its contingent rights) to the proceeds of all Related Contracts consisting of letters of credit of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or assignee. Each Grantor will promptly use its best efforts to cause the issuer of each letter of credit and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the proceeds thereof pursuant to a consent in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and deliver written evidence of such consent to the Collateral Agent.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will, promptly upon reasonable request by the Collateral Agent, (i) notify (and such Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to notify) the issuer and each nominated person with respect to each of the Related Contracts consisting of letters of credit that the proceeds thereof have been assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder and any payments due or to become due in respect thereof are to be made directly to the Collateral Agent or its designee and (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of letter of credit.

14. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares.

(b) Each Grantor agrees that it will (i) cause each issuer of the Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor not to issue any Equity Interests or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Equity issued by such issuer, except to such Grantor, and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional Equity Interests or other securities of each issuer of the Pledged Equity.

15. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney in Fact.

Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent such Grantor’s attorney in fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9,

(b) to ask for, demand, collect, ▇▇▇ for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral,

16. Collateral Agent May Perform.

If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein on or after the date required for performance thereof, the Collateral Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under, and to the extent provided in Section 19.

17. The Collateral Agent’s Duties.

(a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.

(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.

18. Remedies.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC or the PPSA (whether or not the UCC or the PPSA applies to the affected Collateral), the Bankruptcy Code, or any other applicable law, and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in the PPSA or Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of

Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter paid (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 20) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement claims in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto) in the following manner:

(i) first, paid to the Collateral Agent for any amounts then owing to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise under the Loan Documents; and

(ii) second, ratably, paid to the Secured Parties for any amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, under the Loan Documents and the ratably in accordance with the amounts then owing to the Secured Parties.

(c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(d) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

(e) The Collateral Agent may send to each bank, securities intermediary or issuer party to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities/Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or Uncertificated Security Control Agreement a “Notice of Exclusive Control” as defined in and under such Agreement; provided, that the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable commercial efforts to rescind such “Notice of Exclusive Control” within a reasonable period of time following the date on which no Default or Event of Default exists.

(f) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Agent or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.

(g) The Collateral Agent may realize upon the Collateral and enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties by (i) appointment by instrument in writing of a receiver (which term as used in this Agreement includes a receiver and manager) or agent of all or any part of the Collateral and the removal or replacement from time to time of any receiver or agent, and (ii) institution of proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral.

19. Indemnity and Expenses.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

20. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial

exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

(b) Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.

All such notices and other communications shall, when mailed, sent by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise, be effective when deposited in the mails, sent by facsimile, sent by electronic mail and confirmed in writing, or otherwise delivered (or confirmed by a signed receipt), respectively, addressed as aforesaid; except that notices and other communications to the Collateral Agent shall not be effective until received by the Collateral Agent. Delivery by facsimile of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

22. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Credit Agreement.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement claims in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto), and (ii) the Maturity Date, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the Credit Agreement.

23. Release; Termination.

(a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (other than sales of Inventory, equipment and other obsolete or worn-out equipment in the ordinary course of business), the Collateral Agent will, at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that (i) at the time of such request and such release no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such Grantor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release describing the item of Collateral and the terms of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including, without limitation, the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a form of release for execution by the Collateral Agent and a certificate of such Grantor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance with the Loan Documents and as to such other matters as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (iii) the proceeds of any such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition required to be applied, or any payment to be made in connection therewith, in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement shall, to the extent so required, be paid or made to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the Collateral Agent when and as required under Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

25. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

26. Matters Relating to Security.

(a) As set forth in the Order, each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the effectiveness of the Order (i) the Secured Obligations shall constitute allowed administrative expenses in such Grantor’s Chapter 11 Case having priority over all administrative expenses of and unsecured claims against such Grantor now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind or nature whatsoever, including without limitation all administrative expenses of the kind specified in Sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject, as to priority, only to the Carve-Out and (B) the security interest shall not be subject to Section 551 of the Bankruptcy Code nor shall the Collateral be charged pursuant to Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) The security interest and the administrative priority granted by and pursuant to this Agreement hereof may be independently granted by the Loan Documents and by other Loan Documents hereafter entered into. This Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order and such other Loan Documents supplement each other, and the grants, priorities, rights and remedies of Collateral Agent hereunder and thereunder are cumulative.

(c) The security interest granted hereunder shall be deemed valid, binding, continuing, enforceable and fully-perfected first priority (subject only to the Carve-Out and Liens permitted to be equal or superior in priority pursuant to the Credit Agreement) Liens on the Collateral by entry of the Interim Order and the Final Order, as the case may be. Collateral Agent shall not be required to file any financing statements, notices of Lien or similar instruments in any jurisdiction or filing office or to take any other action in order to validate or perfect the Liens and security interests granted by or pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order or any other Loan Document.

(d) The security interest, the priority of the security interest, and the administrative priorities and other rights and remedies granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order and the other Collateral Documents (specifically including but not limited to the existence, validity, enforceability, extent, perfection and priority of the Security Interest) and the administrative priority provided herein and therein shall not be modified, altered or impaired in any manner by any other financing or extension of credit or incurrence of debt by any Grantor (pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise), or by any dismissal or conversion of any Bankruptcy Case, or by any other act or omission whatsoever. Without limitation, notwithstanding any such order, financing, extension, incurrence, dismissal, conversion, act or omission:

(i) except for the Carve-Out, no costs or expenses of administration which have been or may be incurred in the Chapter 11 Case or any conversion of the same or in any other proceedings related thereto, and no priority claims, are or will be prior to or on a parity with any claim of Collateral Agent or any Lender against any Grantor in respect of any Secured Obligation;

(ii) the security interest granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order and the other Collateral Documents shall constitute valid, binding, continuing, enforceable and fully-perfected first priority (subject only to the Carve-Out and Liens permitted to be equal or superior in priority

pursuant to the Credit Agreement) Liens and shall be prior to all other Liens (except the Carve-Out and Liens permitted to be equal or superior in priority pursuant to the Credit Agreement) and interests, now existing or hereafter arising, in favor of any other creditor or any other Person whatsoever; and

(iii) the security interest granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Interim Order, the Final Order and the Collateral Documents shall continue to be valid, binding, continuing, enforceable and fully-perfected without the necessity for Collateral Agent to file any financing statements or to otherwise perfect the security interest under applicable non-bankruptcy law.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.

(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any proceeding of the type referred to in Title 11, U.S. Code, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada), the CCAA, or any similar foreign, federal, provincial or state law for the relief of debtors.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

2. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrowers or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions.

The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than payment in full and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations).

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

(f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

4. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive

from the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (b) the Maturity Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, and (iii) the Maturity Date shall have occurred, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

5. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. (a) Any and all payments made by any Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.09 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes. If any Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to any Secured Party, (i) the sum payable by such Guarantor shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Guarantor and the Collateral Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5), such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Guarantor shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future Other Taxes that arise from any payment made by or on behalf of such Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Each Guarantor will indemnify each Secured Party for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 5, imposed on or paid by such Secured Party and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such amounts were correctly or legally imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority). This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Secured Party makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes by or on behalf of any Guarantor, such Guarantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder by or on behalf of any Guarantor through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of such Guarantor by a payor that is not a United States person, if such Guarantor determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Guarantor shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Collateral Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Collateral Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 5, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) Each Secured Party entitled to an exemption from, or reduction or, withholding tax shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement in the case of each Secured Party that is a party to the Credit Agreement as of the date hereof and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Secured Party in the case of each other Secured Party, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by any Guarantor (but only so long thereafter as such Secured Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Collateral Agent and such Guarantor with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN or (in the case of a Secured Party that has certified in writing to the Collateral Agent that it is not (i) a “bank” (as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code), (ii) a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of any Guarantor or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to any Guarantor (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code)), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, or any such form or forms as may be required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax in such jurisdiction, certifying that such Secured Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or, in the case of a Secured Party that has certified that it is not a “bank” as described above, certifying that such Secured Party is a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. If the forms provided by a Secured Party at the time such Secured Party first becomes a party to the Credit Agreement indicate a United States or other interest withholding tax rate, as applicable, in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Secured Party provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods

governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, a Secured Party becoming a party to the Credit Agreement, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Secured Party becomes a party to the Credit Agreement, the Secured Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 5 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Secured Party assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) and requested by any Guarantor pursuant to this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI or the related certificate described above, or any forms required by any jurisdiction other than the United States, that the applicable Secured Party reasonably considers to be confidential, such Secured Party shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Secured Party has failed to provide the Administrative Borrower or any Guarantor with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form , certificate or other document originally was required to be provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Secured Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 5 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Secured Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, such Guarantor shall take such steps as such Secured Party shall reasonably request to assist such Secured Party to recover such Taxes.

(g) Each Guarantor will make payment relative to each Obligation in the currency (the “Original Currency”) in which the Borrowers are required to pay such Obligation. If a Guarantor makes payment relative to any Guaranteed Obligation to the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties in a currency (the “Other Currency”) other than the Original Currency (whether voluntarily or pursuant to an order or judgment of a court or tribunal of any jurisdiction), such payment will constitute a discharge of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder in respect of such Obligation only to the extent of the amount of the Original Currency which the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties are able to purchase with the amount it receives on the date of receipt. If the amount of the Original Currency which the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties are able to purchase on the date of receipt is less than the amount of such currency originally due to it in respect to the relevant Obligation, such Guarantor will indemnify and save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from and against any loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity will constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Guaranty, will give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, will apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties and will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order in respect of any amount due hereunder or under any judgment or order.

6. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes each representation and warranty made in the Loan Documents by the Borrowers with respect to such Guarantor.

7. Covenants. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, so long as any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto) shall remain unpaid or any Lender shall have any Commitment, such Guarantor will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents on its or their part to be performed or observed or that the Borrowers have agreed to cause such Guarantor or such Subsidiaries to perform or observe.

8. Amendments, Guaranty Supplements, Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders (other than any Lender that is, at such time, a Defaulting Lender), (a) reduce or limit the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, release any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise limit any Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Obligations owing to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or (b) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders”.

(b) Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as a “Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Guarantor and (ii) each reference herein to “this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

9. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic or facsimile communication) and mailed, faxed, sent via electronic mail or delivered to it, if to any Guarantor, addressed to it in care of the Borrowers at the Administrative Borrower’s address specified in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, if to Collateral Agent or any Lender, at its address specified in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement. All such notices and other communications shall, when mailed, faxed or sent via electronic mail, be effective when deposited in the mails, transmitted by facsimile or via electronic mail, respectively. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty or of any Guaranty Supplement to be

executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

10. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

11. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement to authorize the Collateral Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of said Section 6.01, the Collateral Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Collateral Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Collateral Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify such Guarantor after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Collateral Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Collateral Agent, such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have.

12. Indemnification. (a) Without limitation on any other Obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of the Secured Parties under this Guaranty, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of any Loan Party enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their terms; provided, however, that no Guarantor shall be liable for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses resulting from Secured Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby also agrees that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any of the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, and each Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or

punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Loans, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; provided, however, that each Indemnified Party shall be liable to any of the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors for any claims for actual damages resulting from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other agreements of any Guarantor under this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, the agreements and obligations of each Guarantor contained in Section 1(a) (with respect to enforcement expenses), the last sentence of Section 2, Section 5 and this Section 12 shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all of the other amounts payable under this Guaranty.

13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 13:

(A) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Guarantor may receive regularly scheduled payments from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, however, unless the Collateral Agent otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(B) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) (but excluding any contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(C) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including, to the extent permitted by law, the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Collateral Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Collateral Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

(D) Collateral Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (including, to the extent permitted by law, the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), the Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest) and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Collateral Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

14. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification and reimbursement obligations in respect of which no claim for payment has been asserted by the Person entitled thereto) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty and (ii) the Maturity Date, (b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Term Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement. No Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Secured Parties.

15. Execution in Counterparts. This Guaranty and each amendment, waiver and consent with respect hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty by telecopier or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty.

16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any of the other Loan

Documents to which it is or is to be a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in the courts of any jurisdiction.

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

(d) EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY SECURED PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

17. Credit Agreement, Order. In the event of any direct conflict between the terms and conditions of this Guaranty and the Credit Agreement, the provisions of the Credit Agreement shall govern and control. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Guaranty and the Order, the provisions of the Order shall govern and control.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Guarantor has caused this Guaranty to be duly executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
