The Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed as provided herein. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to honor a request for a Revolver Loan if Revolver Usage at such time plus the requested Loan would exceed the Borrowing Base. Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with 3 Business Days prior written notification of the establishment of any change in the eligibility criteria or the establishment of any Availability Reserve, in each case, to the extent such change would have the effect of reducing the Borrowing Base; provided that, the failure to provide any such notice shall not limit Lender’s rights to establish any such change or reserve, but such change or reserve shall only become effective following notice to Borrower. Lender may fulfill its obligations under the Loan Documents through one or more Lending Offices, and this shall not affect any obligations of Obligors under the Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations.

2.1.2 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrower solely (a) to satisfy existing Debt; (b) to pay a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition; (c) to pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of this credit facility; (d) to pay Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (e) for other lawful corporate purposes of Borrower, including working capital and Permitted Distributions.

2.1.3 Termination of Revolver Commitment. (a) The Revolver Commitment shall terminate on the Revolver Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon prior written notice to Lender, Borrower may, at their option, terminate in full or reduce in part the Revolver Commitment (provided that the reduced Revolver Commitment shall in no event be reduced to less than $12,000,000). Any notice of termination given by Borrower shall be irrevocable. On the termination or reduction date, Borrower shall (i) repay any Overadvance or (ii) provide Full Payment of all Obligations (if the Revolver Commitments are terminated in full).

(b) Borrower may request an increase in the Revolver Commitment from time to time upon notice to Lender, as long as (a) the first such requested increase is in a minimum amount of $2,500,000 and each increase is offered on the same terms as the existing Revolver Commitment, (b) increases under this Section do not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate and no more than two (2) increases are made, (c) the requested increase does not cause the Revolver Commitment to exceed 90% of any applicable cap under any Subordinated Debt agreement or the Term Debt Documents, and (d) Borrower has not reduced the Revolver Commitment. If Lender agrees to the requested increase (in its sole discretion), Lender and Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Lender deems appropriate to evidence the increase in the Revolver Commitment.

2.1.4 Overadvances. If Revolver Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrower on demand by Lender (or within 2 Business Days after demand by Lender with respect to any Overadvance resulting from a change by Lender to the eligibility criteria in accordance with this Agreement), but all such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Any funding or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver of the Event of Default caused thereby.

2.2 Letter of Credit Facility.

2.2.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. Lender agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time until 30 days prior to the Revolver Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon its receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Lender may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) it receives a LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; and (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied or waived.

(b) Letters of Credit may be requested by Borrower to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Lender. Increase, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be treated as issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that Lender may require a new LC Application in its discretion.

(c) Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, Lender shall not be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. No Indemnitee shall be liable to any Obligor or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Letter of Credit or LC Documents except as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Lender shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrower is discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Lender shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by Lender, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Lender may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon and in accordance with, any advice given by such experts. Lender may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of unaffiliated agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.2.2 Reimbursement. If Lender honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay (in the form of a Revolving Loan) to Lender, on the same day (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid under such Letter of Credit and all applicable fees, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Revolver Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrower. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Lender for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolver Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due on any Reimbursement Date.

2.2.3 Cash Collateral. If at any time (a) an Event of Default exists, (b) the Commitment Termination Date has occurred, or (c) the Revolver Termination Date is scheduled to occur within 20 Business Days, then Borrower shall, at Lender’s request, Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit.

(b) During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Obligor, or during any other Event of Default if Lender in its discretion so elects, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Each Obligor acknowledges that the cost and expense to Lender due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and reasonable compensation for this.

(c) Interest shall accrue from the date a Loan is advanced or Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid in full by Borrower. Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of each month; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable within the two (2) Business Day period following demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

3.1.2 Application of LIBOR to Outstanding Loans.

(a) Borrower may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan. During any Event of Default, Lender may declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan.

(b) Whenever Borrower desires to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall give Lender a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, they shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans. Lender does not warrant or accept responsibility for, nor shall it have any liability with respect to, administration, submission or any other matter related to any rate described in the definition of LIBOR.

3.1.3 Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) to apply, which interest period shall be 30, 60, or 90 days; provided, however, that:

(a) the Interest Period shall begin on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at its end;

(b) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day; and

3.1.4 Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If, due to any circumstance affecting the London interbank market, Lender determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR on any applicable date or that any Interest Period is not available on the basis provided herein, then Lender shall immediately notify Borrower of such determination. Until Lender notifies Borrower that such circumstance no longer exists, the obligation of Lender to make affected LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and no further Loans may be converted into or continued as such LIBOR Loans.

3.2 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender the fees set forth on Exhibit C to this Agreement.

3.3 Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days. Each determination by Lender of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrower under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.9, submitted to Borrower by Lender shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 30 days following receipt of the certificate.

3.4 Reimbursement Obligations. Borrower shall pay all Extraordinary Expenses promptly upon request. Borrower also shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Lender’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 9.1.1(b), each examination, inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared by Lender’s personnel or a third party (and with respect to field examinations, audits and appraisals, whether such fees are out-of-pocket or allocated fees of Lender’s personnel). All legal, accounting and consulting fees shall be charged to Borrower by Lender Professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any alternative fee arrangements that Lender or any of its Affiliates may have with such professionals that otherwise might apply to this or any other transaction. Each Obligor acknowledges that counsel may provide Lender with a benefit (such as a discount, credit or accommodation for other matters) based on counsel’s overall relationship with Lender, including fees paid hereunder. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting by Borrower), it is determined by Lender in its commercially reasonable discretion that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively, and Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrower under this Section shall be due on demand.

3.5 Illegality. If Lender determines that any change in Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by Lender to Borrower, any obligation of Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrower shall convert all LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.6 Inability to Determine Rates. If Lender notifies Borrower in connection with a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan that for any reason (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable Loan amount or Interest Period, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, or (c) LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding the Loan, then

Lender’s obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loan or Interest Period until Lender revokes the notice. Upon receipt of the notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of a LIBOR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for a Base Rate Loan.

3.7 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR);

(b) subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, or (iii) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit, Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c) impose on Lender or any interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Letter of Credit, Commitment or Loan Document;

and the result in clause (a), (b) or (c) above shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making or maintaining any Loan or Commitment, or converting to or continuing any interest option for a Loan, or to increase the cost to Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue a Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request by Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

3.7.2 Capital Requirements. If Lender determines that a Change in Law affecting Lender or its holding company regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit to a level below that which Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for the reduction suffered.

3.7.3 LIBOR Loan Reserves. If Lender is required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, Borrower shall pay additional interest to Lender on each LIBOR Loan equal to the costs of such reserves allocated to the Loan by Lender (as determined by it in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive). The additional interest shall be due and payable on each interest payment date for the Loan; provided, however, that if Lender notifies Borrower of the additional interest less than 10 days prior to the interest payment date, then the additional interest shall be payable 10 days after Borrower’s receipt of the notice.

3.7.4 Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender for any increased costs or reductions suffered more than six months (plus any period of retroactivity of the Change in Law giving rise to the demand) prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of the applicable Change in Law and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

3.8 Mitigation. If Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts under Section 5.9, then at the request of Borrower, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be

withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9 Funding Losses. If for any reason (a) any Borrowing, conversion or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, or (c) Borrower fails to repay a LIBOR Loan when required hereunder, then Borrower shall pay to Lender all resulting losses and expenses, including loss of anticipated profits and any loss, expense or fee arising from redeployment of funds or termination of match fundings. For purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section, Lender shall be deemed to have funded a LIBOR Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and period, whether or not the Loan was in fact so funded.

3.10 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceeds the maximum rate, Lender may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

4.	LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans.

4.1.1 Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Whenever Borrower desires funding of a Revolver Loan, Borrower shall give Lender a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Lender by 11:00 a.m. (i) on the requested funding date for a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) at least two Business Days prior to the requested funding date for a LIBOR Loan. Notices received after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as a Base Rate Loan or LIBOR Loan, and (D) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified).

(b) Unless payment is otherwise made by Borrower, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Bank Product Debt) shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Revolver Loan on the due date in the amount due and the Loan proceeds shall be disbursed as direct payment of such relevant Obligation. In addition, Lender may, at its option, charge such amount against any operating, investment or other account of Borrower maintained with Lender or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with 3 days prior written notification before charging any out-of-pocket fees or expenses against any operating, investment or other account or deeming such fees or expenses to be a request for a Base Rate Loan; provided that, the failure to provide any such notice shall not limit Lender’s rights hereunder. If Lender elects to not make a Borrowing to pay the Obligations as provided in this Section 4.1.1(b), such Obligations shall be due from Borrower within two (2) Business Days after demand.

(c) If Borrower maintains disbursement account with Lender or any of its Affiliates, then presentation for payment in the account of a Payment Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Revolver Loan on the presentation date, in the amount of the Payment Item. Proceeds of the Loan may be disbursed directly to the account.

4.1.2 Notices. Borrower may request, convert or continue Loans, select interest rates, and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to Lender. Borrower shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Lender of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs materially from the action taken by Lender, the records of Lender shall govern. Lender shall not have any liability for any loss suffered by Borrower as a result of Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith to be a person authorized to give such instructions on Borrower’s behalf.

4.2 Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate.

Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000, plus any increment of $100,000 in excess thereof. No more than six (6) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all LIBOR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose.

Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrower, Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Borrower, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.3 Reserved.

4.4 One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of Borrower and are secured by Lender’s Lien on all Collateral.

4.5 Effect of Termination. On the effective date of the termination of the Revolver Commitment, the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and each Secured Party may terminate its Bank Products. Until Full Payment of the Obligations, all undertakings of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents shall continue, and Lender shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. Lender shall not be required to terminate its Liens unless it receives Cash Collateral or a written agreement, in each case satisfactory to it, protecting it from dishonor or return of any Payment Item previously applied to the Obligations. Sections 2.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.3, 5.6, 5.8, 5.9, 10.14, 10.15, 10.16, 11.3, this Section, and each indemnity or waiver given by an Obligor in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations.

5.	PAYMENTS

5.1 General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free and clear of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Any payment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply payments and proceeds of Collateral against Obligations under the Loan Documents, in such manner as Lender deems advisable, but whenever possible, any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans.

5.2 Repayment of Revolver Loans. Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolver Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium. If an Overadvance exists at any time, Borrower shall, on the sooner of Lender’s demand or the first Business Day after Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay Revolver Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce Revolver Usage to the Borrowing Base. If any asset disposition includes the disposition of Accounts or Inventory (other than in the Ordinary Course of Business, but in all cases subject to the provisions of Section 5.5), Borrower shall apply Net Proceeds to repay Revolver Loans equal to the greater of (a) the net book value of such Accounts and Inventory, or (b) the reduction in Borrowing Base resulting from the disposition.

5.3 Keepwell. Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.3 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Obligor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

5.4 Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrower as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.

5.5 Dominion Account. Borrower shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall obtain an agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Lender’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account. If a Dominion Account is not maintained with Lender, Lender may require immediate transfer of all funds in such account to a Dominion Account maintained with Lender. Lender assumes no responsibility to Borrower for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank. Borrower shall request in writing and otherwise take all necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account). If Borrower or Subsidiary receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold same in trust for Lender and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit same into a Dominion Account. The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall cease to apply during the Dominion Termination Period.

5.6 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Lender, or if Lender exercises a right of setoff, and any of such payment or setoff is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or setoff had not occurred.

5.7 Application of Payments.

5.7.1 Dominion Account. The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day, other than during a Dominion Termination Period. If, a credit balance results from such application, it shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower and shall be made available to Borrower as long as no Event of Default exists. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, monies and collateral proceeds obtained from an Obligor shall not be applied to repayment of its Excluded Swap Obligations.

5.7.2 Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. Any proceeds of insurance (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) and any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to a Deposit Account of Borrower at Lender subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement. Any such proceeds or awards that relate to Inventory shall be applied to payment of the Revolver Loans, and then to other Obligations. Any proceeds or awards that relate to Equipment or Real Estate shall be applied in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

5.7.3 Reinvestment of Proceeds. If requested by Borrower in writing within 30 days after Lender’s receipt of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards relating to any loss or destruction of Equipment or Real Estate, Borrower may use such proceeds or awards to repair or replace such Equipment or Real Estate (and until so used, the proceeds shall be held in a Deposit Account of Borrower at Lender subject to a Deposit Account

Control Agreement) as long as (i) no Event of Default exists on the date of such request; (ii) the repaired or replaced Property is free of Liens, other than Permitted Liens that are not Purchase Money Liens; and (iii) the aggregate amount of such proceeds or awards from any single casualty or condemnation reinvested pursuant to this Section does not exceed $4,000,000.

5.8 Account Stated. Lender shall maintain, in accordance with customary practices, loan account(s) evidencing the Debt of Borrower hereunder. Any failure of Lender to record anything in a loan account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower to pay any amount owing hereunder. Entries made in a loan account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in a loan account is provided to or inspected by any Person, the information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Lender in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.9 Taxes.

5.9.1 Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Tax Payment.

(a) All payments of Obligations by Obligors shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law (as determined by Lender in its discretion) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Recipient or Obligor, then the Recipient or Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding based on information and documentation provided pursuant to this Section.

(b) If a Recipient or Obligor is required by the Code to withhold or deduct Taxes, including backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then the Recipient or Obligor shall pay the full amount that it determines is to be withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority pursuant to the Code. If a Recipient or Obligor is required by any Applicable Law other than the Code to withhold or deduct Taxes from any payment, then the Recipient or Obligor, to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall timely pay the full amount to be withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. In each case, to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law or, at Lender’s option, timely reimburse Lender for payment thereof.

5.9.2 Tax Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a joint and several basis, each Recipient against any Indemnified Taxes (including those imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by a Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate delivered to Borrower by Lender (for itself or on behalf of a Recipient) as to the amount of such payment or liability, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

5.9.3 Evidence of Payments. If Lender or an Obligor pays any Taxes pursuant to this Section, then upon request, Lender or Borrower, as applicable, shall deliver to the other a copy of a receipt issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority evidencing the payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Law to report the payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party.

5.9.4 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Lender determines in its discretion that it or another Recipient has received a refund of any Taxes that were indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, Lender shall pay or shall cause the other Recipient to pay to Borrower the amount of such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts

paid, by Borrower with respect to the Taxes giving rise to the refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by the Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrower shall, upon request by Lender, repay to the Recipient any refund amount so paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) if the Recipient is required to repay such refund to the Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to Borrower if such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. In no event shall any Recipient be required to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) available to any Obligor or other Person.

5.9.5 Status of Lender. If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments of Obligations, it shall deliver to Borrower properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as is necessary to enable Borrower to determine whether Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such documentation shall not be required if Lender believes delivery of the documentation would subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice its legal or commercial position.

5.9.6 Documentation. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, from time to time upon reasonable request, executed originals of IRS Form W-9, certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax and if Lender is a foreign entity an IRS Form, W-8BEN-E, W-81MY or W-8ECI, as applicable. If payment of any Obligation to Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code), Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time(s) prescribed by law and otherwise as reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for them to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof. If any form or certification delivered by Lender pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, Lender shall update the form or certification or notify Borrower in writing of its inability to do so.

5.9.7 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.9 shall survive any assignment by Lender of rights or obligations hereunder, termination of the Commitments, and any repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.

6.	CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

6.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans. In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 6.2, Lender shall not be required to fund any requested Loan, issue any Letter of Credit or otherwise extend credit to Borrower hereunder, until the date (“Closing Date”) that each of the conditions precedent set forth on Exhibit B has been satisfied.

6.2 Conditions Precedent to All Credit Extensions. Lender shall not be required to fund any Loans, issue any Letters of Credit, or grant any other accommodation to or for the benefit of Borrower, unless the following conditions are satisfied:

(a) No Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of, or result from, such funding, issuance or grant;

(b) The representations and warranties of each Obligor in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on the date of, and upon giving effect to, such funding, issuance or grant (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date);

(c) No event shall have occurred or circumstance exist that has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(d) With respect to issuance of a Letter of Credit, the LC Conditions shall be satisfied.

Each request (or deemed request) by Borrower for funding of a Loan, issuance of a Letter of Credit or grant of an accommodation shall constitute a representation by Borrower that the foregoing conditions are satisfied on the date of such request and on the date of such funding, issuance or grant. As an additional condition to any funding, issuance or grant, Lender shall have received such other information, documents, instruments and agreements as it deems reasonably appropriate in connection therewith.

7.	COLLATERAL

7.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to Lender, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all personal Property of Obligor, including all of Obligor’s present and after acquired personal property, including all of the following Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located: (a) all Accounts; (b) all Chattel Paper, including Electronic Chattel Paper; (c) all Commercial Tort Claims, including those shown on Schedule 8.1.15; (d) all Deposit Accounts; (e) all Documents; (f) all General Intangibles, including Intellectual Property; (g) all Goods, including Inventory, Equipment and Fixtures; (h) all Instruments; (i) all Investment Property; (j) all Letter-of-Credit Rights; (k) all Supporting Obligations; (l) all monies, whether or not in the possession or under the control of Lender or any other Secured Party, or a bailee or Affiliate of Lender or any other Secured Party, including any Cash Collateral; (m) all accessions to, substitutions for, and all replacements, products, and cash and non-cash proceeds of the foregoing, including proceeds of and unearned premiums with respect to insurance policies, and claims against any Person for loss, damage or destruction of any Collateral; and (n) all books and records (including customer lists, files, correspondence, tapes, computer programs, print-outs and computer records) pertaining to the foregoing; provided, that in no event shall the Collateral include (v) Equity Interests in Borrower, (w) more than 65% of the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary of any Obligor, (x) Real Estate, (y) fixed or capital assets owned by an Obligor that are subject to a purchase money lien or a capital lease if the contractual obligation pursuant to which such Lien is granted (or in the document providing for such capital lease) prohibits or requires the consent of any Person other than such Obligor’s Affiliates as a condition to the creation of any other Lien on such fixed or capital asset, and such consent has not been obtained or (z) any assets to the extent a security interest in such assets would result in adverse tax consequences as reasonably determined in good faith by the Obligors. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Obligor shall be required to perfect Lender’s Lien with respect to (i) any Excluded Account or (ii) vehicles, airplanes and other assets owned by an Obligor to the extent perfection requires the notation of such Lien on a certificate of title.

7.2 Lien on Deposit Accounts; Cash Collateral.

7.2.1 Deposit Accounts. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all amounts credited to any Deposit Account of such Obligor, including sums in any blocked, lockbox, sweep or collection account. Without limiting the obligations under Section 5.5, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Obligors hereby authorize and direct each bank or other depository to deliver to Lender, upon request, all balances in any Deposit Account maintained for such Obligor, without inquiry into the authority or right of Lender to make such request.

7.2.2 Cash Collateral. Cash Collateral may be invested, at Lender’s discretion (and with the prior written consent of Borrower, as long as no Event of Default exists), but Lender shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with Borrower, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. As security for its Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in and Lien upon all

Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, whether held in a Cash Collateral Account or otherwise. Lender may apply Cash Collateral to the payment of Obligations as they become due, in such order as Lender may elect. Each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender, and neither Borrower nor any other Person (other than the applicable depository bank) shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of the Obligations.

7.3 [Reserved]

7.4 Other Collateral.

7.4.1 Commercial Tort Claims. Obligors shall promptly notify Lender in writing if any Obligor has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $100,000), shall promptly amend Schedule 8.1.15 to include such claim, and shall take such actions as Lender deems appropriate to subject such claim to a duly perfected, first priority Lien in favor of Lender.

7.4.2 Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Obligors shall promptly notify Lender in writing if, after the Closing Date, any Obligor obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, Intellectual Property, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights and, upon Lender’s reasonable request, shall promptly take such actions as Lender deems appropriate to effect Lender’s duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral, including obtaining any appropriate possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver. If any material Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Lender’s reasonable request, Obligors shall obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Lender.

7.4.3 Investment Property.

(a) If an Obligor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate, option or rights in respect of the Equity Interests pledged hereunder, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any of the Pledged Equity, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Obligor shall accept the same as the agent of Lender, hold the same in trust for Lender and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, deliver the same forthwith to Lender in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Obligor to Lender, if required, together with an undated instrument of transfer covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Obligor, to be held by the Lender, subject to the terms hereof, as additional Collateral for the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) unless the Lender provides express written notice to the contrary, any sums paid upon or in respect of such Equity Interests upon the liquidation or dissolution of any issuer thereof shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, be paid over to Lender to be held by it hereunder as additional Collateral for the Obligations, and (ii) in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of such Equity Interests or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to such Equity Interests pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and unless otherwise subject to a perfected Lien in favor of the Lender, be delivered to the Lender to be held by it hereunder as additional Collateral for the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of such Equity Interests shall be received by such Obligor, such Obligor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to Lender, hold such money or property in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of such Obligor, as additional Collateral for the Obligations.

(b) Without the prior written consent of Lender, such Obligor will not (i) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Equity or proceeds thereof, (ii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Equity Interests or proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for Permitted Liens, or (iii) enter into or permit to exist any agreement or undertaking, including, without limitation, the governing documents of any issuer and shareholders’ agreements, restricting the right or ability of such Obligor or Lender to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Equity or proceeds thereof, except, with respect to such Equity Interests, shareholders’ or operating agreements entered into by such Obligor with respect to Persons in which such Obligor maintains an ownership interest of 50% or less.

(c) In the case of each Obligor which is an issuer of Pledged Equity, such Person agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Equity issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify Lender promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 7.4.3(a) with respect to the Pledged Equity issued by it, (iii) the terms of Sections 6.3(c) and 6.7 shall apply to such issuer with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 6.3(c) or 6.7 regarding the Pledged Equity issued by it and (iv) it will not recognize, acknowledge or permit the pledge, transfer, grant of control or other disposition of the Pledged Equity issued by it (or any portion thereof) other than to or as requested by Lender unless otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Within the time period afforded by Exhibit F hereof and with respect to each issuer of Pledged Equity that is a limited liability company, such issuer shall cause the equity interests of such issuer to be governed by, and to be a “security” within the meaning of, Article 8 (Investment Securities) of the UCC, and no such issuer shall, and no Obligor shall cause any such issuer to, “opt out” of Article 8 of the UCC with respect to such issuer’s Equity Interests.

(e) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Lender shall have given notice to the relevant Obligor of Lender’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 7.4.3(f), each Obligor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity, to the extent permitted under this Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Equity Interests.

(f) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and Lender shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Obligors, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) Lender shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends and distributions, payments or other proceeds paid in respect of the Equity Interests and make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine, (ii) Lender shall have the right to cause any or all of the Equity Interest to be registered in the name of Lender or its nominee, and (iii) Lender or its nominee may exercise (x) all voting and other rights pertaining to such Equity Interests at any meeting of holders of the equity interests of the relevant issuers thereof or otherwise (or by written consent) and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Equity Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Equity Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by any Obligor or Lender of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Equity Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Equity Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Lender shall have no duty to any Obligor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(g) Each Obligor hereby authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Equity Interests pledged by such Obligor hereunder to, and each such issuer hereby agrees to immediately, comply with any instruction received by such issuer from Lender in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions or consent of such Obligor, including without limitation, instructions as to the transfer of other disposition of such Equity Interests, to pay and remit to Lender or its nominee all dividends, distributions and other amounts payable to such Obligor in respect of such Equity Interests (upon redemption of such Equity Interests, dissolution of such Issuer or otherwise), and to transfer to, and register such Equity Interests in the name of, the Lender or its nominee or transferee. Each Obligor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying with such instructions.

(h) Each Obligor recognizes that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Lender shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(i) Each Obligor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 7.4.3 valid and binding and in compliance with Applicable Law. Each Obligor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7.4.3 will cause irreparable injury to Lender and that Lender may have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 7.4.3 shall be specifically enforceable against such Obligor, and such Obligor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement.

7.5 Limitations. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Obligors relating to any Collateral. In no event shall the grant of any Lien under any Loan Document secure an Excluded Swap Obligation.

7.6 Further Assurances; Extent of Liens. All Liens granted to Lender under the Loan Documents are for the benefit of Secured Parties. Promptly upon request, Obligors shall deliver such instruments and agreements, and shall take such actions, as is reasonably required under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect Lender’s Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement. Each Obligor authorizes Lender to file any financing statement that describes the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Obligor, or words to similar effect, and ratifies any action taken by Lender before the Closing Date to effect or perfect its Lien on any Collateral.

8.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

8.1 General Representations and Warranties. To induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make available the Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that:

8.1.1 Organization and Qualification. Borrower and its Subsidiaries, if any, are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Borrower and its Subsidiaries are duly qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.1.2 Power and Authority. Borrower and its Subsidiaries are duly authorized to execute, deliver and perform its Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not (a) require any consent or approval of any holders of Equity Interests of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, except those already obtained; (b) contravene the Organic Documents of Borrower and its Subsidiaries; (c) violate or cause a default under any Applicable Law or Material Contract; or (d) result in or require the imposition of a Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on Borrower’s Property.

8.1.3 Enforceability. Each Loan Document is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

8.1.4 Capital Structure.

(a) Schedule 8.1.4(a) shows, for Borrower and its Subsidiaries, its name, jurisdiction of organization, authorized and issued Equity Interests, holders of its Equity Interests, and agreements binding on such holders with respect to such Equity Interests. Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.1.4(a), in the five years preceding the Closing Date, no Borrower or Subsidiary has acquired any substantial assets from any other Person nor been the surviving entity in a merger or combination. Borrower has good title to its Equity Interests in its Subsidiaries (if any), subject only to Lender’s Lien and Liens securing the Term Debt, and all such Equity Interests are duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 8.1.4(a), there are no outstanding purchase options, warrants, subscription rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests, phantom rights or powers of attorney relating to Equity Interests of Borrower or any Subsidiary.

(b) The Pledged Equity pledged by each Obligor hereunder constitute all the issued and outstanding Equity Interests owned by such Obligor or, in the case of any Foreign Subsidiary, 100% of all issued and outstanding non-voting equity interests of such Foreign Subsidiary and 65% of all issued and outstanding voting equity interests of such Foreign Subsidiary.

(d) Schedule 8.1.4(d) lists all Equity Interests owned by each Obligor. Each Obligor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except Permitted Liens.

8.1.5 Title to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to (or valid leasehold interests in) all of its Real Estate, and good title to all of its personal Property, included on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate, in each case free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries has paid and discharged all lawful claims (other than such claims Properly Contested) that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its Properties, other than Permitted Liens. All Liens of Lender in the Collateral are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens.

8.1.6 Accounts. Lender may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and representations made by Borrower with respect thereto. Borrower warrants, with respect to each Account at the time it is shown as an Eligible Account in a Borrowing Base Certificate, that: (a) it is genuine and enforceable in accordance with its terms and is not evidenced by a judgment; (b) it arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods or rendition of services in the Ordinary Course of Business, and substantially in accordance with any purchase order, contract or other document relating thereto; (c) it is for a sum certain, maturing as stated in the invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Lender on request; (d) it is not subject to any offset, Lien (other than Permitted Liens), deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or other adverse condition except as arising in the Ordinary Course of Business and disclosed to Lender; (e) no purchase order, agreement, document or Applicable Law restricts assignment of the Account to Lender (regardless of whether, under the UCC, the restriction is ineffective); (f) no extension, compromise, settlement, modification, credit, deduction or return has been authorized with respect to the Account, except discounts or allowances granted in the Ordinary Course of Business for prompt payment that are reflected on the face of the invoice related thereto and in the reports submitted to Lender hereunder and (g) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, (i) there are no facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to impair the enforceability or collectability of such Account; (ii) the Account Debtor had the capacity to contract when the Account arose, is not subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, and has not failed, or suspended or ceased doing business; and (iii) there are no proceedings or actions pending against any Account Debtor that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Account Debtor’s financial condition, as reasonably determined by the Borrower in good faith.

8.1.7 Financial Statements. The consolidated and consolidating balance sheets, and related statements of income, cash flow and shareholders’ equity, of Borrower and Subsidiaries that have been and are hereafter delivered to Lender, are prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial positions and results of operations of Borrower and Subsidiaries at the dates and for the periods indicated. All projections delivered from time to time to Lender have been prepared in good faith, based on reasonable assumptions in light of the circumstances at such time. Since the date of the most recently delivered audited financial statements of Borrower, there has been no change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower or its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if such a change in condition is first evidenced in the most recently submitted annual financial statements, the reference in the preceding sentence to such most recently submitted audited financial statements shall not mean that such a change in condition has not occurred for purposes of the representations and warranties in this Section 8.1.7. No financial statement delivered to Lender at any time contains any untrue statement of a material fact, nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make such statement not materially misleading. Borrower and its Subsidiaries (taken as whole) are Solvent.

8.1.8 Surety Obligations. Neither Borrower nor its Subsidiaries is obligated as surety or indemnitor under any bond or other contract that assures payment or performance of any obligation of any Person, except as permitted hereunder.

8.1.9 Taxes. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all federal and material state and local tax returns and other material reports that it is required by law to file, and has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all Taxes upon it, its income and its Properties that are due and payable, except to the extent being Properly Contested. The provision for Taxes on the books of Borrower and Subsidiary is adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes, and for its current Fiscal Year.

8.1.10 Brokers. Other than as set forth on Schedule 8.1.10, there are no brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or investment banking fees payable in connection with any transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

8.1.11 Intellectual Property. Borrower and its Subsidiaries own or have the lawful right to use all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business, without conflict with any rights of others. There is no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened Intellectual Property Claim with respect to Borrower’s or its Subsidiary or any of its Property (including any Intellectual Property). Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.1.11, neither Borrower nor its Subsidiaries pay or owe any Royalty or other compensation to any Person with respect to any Intellectual Property. All Intellectual Property owned, used or licensed by, or otherwise subject to any interests of, Borrower or Subsidiary is shown on Schedule 8.1.11 (as amended from time to time). Except as set forth in Schedule 8.1.11, and except for non-exclusive licenses of Intellectual Property granted in the ordinary course of business (to the extent constituting a Permitted Lien), none of the Intellectual Property of any Obligor is the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which such Obligor is the licensor or franchisor. To each Obligor’s knowledge, no holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any governmental authority against any Obligor which limits, cancels or questions the validity of, or any Obligor’s ownership interest in, any Intellectual Property owned by any Obligor in any material respect.

8.1.12 Governmental Approvals. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have, are in material compliance with, and are in good standing with respect to, all Governmental Approvals necessary to conduct its business and to own, lease and operate all of its material Properties, except where noncompliance (or failure to be in good standing) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All necessary import, export or other licenses, permits or certificates for the import or handling of any goods or other Collateral have been procured and are in effect, and Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied with all foreign and domestic laws with respect to the shipment and importation of any goods or Collateral, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.1.13 Compliance with Laws. Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.1.13: (i) Borrower and its Subsidiaries have duly complied, and their Properties and business operations are in compliance, in all material respects, with all Applicable Law, except where noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.; (ii) no Inventory has been produced in violation of Applicable Law, including the FLSA; (iii) no Borrower’s or Subsidiary’s present operations (or to Borrower’s knowledge, past operations), Real Estate or other Properties are subject to any federal, state or local investigation to determine whether any remedial action is needed to address any Environmental Release; (iv) no Borrower or Subsidiary has received any Environmental Notice; (v) to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no Environmental Releases or Hazardous Materials on any Real Estate now owned, leased or operated by Borrower or its Subsidiaries which would result in material liability arising under any Environmental Law.

8.1.14 Burdensome Contracts. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is party or subject to any Restrictive Agreement, except as shown on Schedule 8.1.14. No such Restrictive Agreement prohibits the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document by Borrower.

8.1.15 Litigation. Except as shown on Schedule 8.1.15, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in writing against Borrower or Subsidiary, or any of their businesses, operations, Properties, prospects or conditions, that (a) relate to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby; or (b) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if

determined adversely to Borrower or its Subsidiaries. Except as shown on such Schedule, no Obligor has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $100,000). No Borrower or Subsidiary is in default with respect to any order, injunction or judgment of any Governmental Authority.

8.1.16 No Defaults. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists that constitutes a Default or Event of Default. Borrower is not in material default, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a material default, under any Material Contract other than as is being Properly Contested.

8.1.17 ERISA. Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.1.17:

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code, and other federal and state laws. Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter (or opinion letter) from the IRS or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the knowledge of Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. Each Obligor and ERISA Affiliate has met, in all material respects all applicable requirements under the Code, ERISA and the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and no application for a waiver of the minimum funding standards or an extension of any amortization period has been made with respect to any Plan.

(b) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no non-exempt prohibited transaction or, to the knowledge of Borrower violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (i) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA); (iii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability; (iv) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; (v) no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA; (vi) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is at least 60%, and no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate knows of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 60% as of such date.

8.1.18 Parent and AG SPV. (a) Parent has not engaged in any activities other than acting as a holding and management company and transactions and activities incidental thereto, entering into and performing its obligations under the Term Debt Documents and the Management Agreement and does not hold any assets other than all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Borrower and proceeds thereof and contractual rights pursuant to the Term Debt Documents, and (b) AG SPV has not engaged in any activities other than entering into and performing its obligations under the Term Debt Documents and the Artisan Company Agreement and does not hold any assets other than the membership interests under the Artisan Company Agreement.

8.1.23 Margin Stock. Borrower is not engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No Loan proceeds or Letters of Credit will be used by Borrower to purchase or carry, or to reduce or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin Stock or for any related purpose governed by Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

8.1.24 OFAC. Neither Borrower nor, to the knowledge of Borrower, any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or representative thereof, is an individual or entity currently the subject of any Sanction.

There is no fact or circumstance that any Obligor has failed to disclose to Lender in writing that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.	COVENANTS AND CONTINUING AGREEMENTS

9.1 Affirmative Covenants. As long as any Commitment or Obligations (other than contingent obligations against which no claim has been asserted) are outstanding, Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to:

9.1.1 Inspections; Appraisals.

(a) Permit Lender from time to time, subject to reasonable notice (except when an Event of Default exists) and during normal business hours, to visit and inspect the Properties of Borrower or Subsidiary, inspect, audit and make extracts from Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ books and records, and discuss with its officers, employees, agents, advisors and independent accountants such Borrower’s or Subsidiary’s business, financial condition, assets, prospects and results of operations. Lender shall not have any duty to Borrower to make any inspection, or to share any results of any inspection, appraisal or report with Borrower. Borrower acknowledges that all inspections, appraisals and reports are prepared by Lender for its purposes, and Borrower shall not be entitled to rely upon them.

(b) Reimburse Lender for its reasonable charges, costs and expenses in connection with (i) examinations of any Obligor’s books and records or any other financial or Collateral matters as Lender deems reasonably appropriate, up to twice per Loan Year (or three times per Loan Year during any Accelerated Reporting Trigger Period); and (ii) appraisals of Inventory, up to once per Loan Year (or twice per Loan Year during any time in which Availability is less than 10% of the Revolving Commitment for 5 consecutive days); provided, however, that if an examination or appraisal is initiated during an Event of Default, all reasonable charges, costs and expenses therefor shall be reimbursed by Borrower without regard to such limits. Subject to and without limiting the foregoing, Borrower agrees to pay Lender’s then standard charges for examination activities, including the standard charges of Lender’s internal examination and appraisal groups, as well as the charges of any third party used for such purposes. No Borrowing Base calculation shall include Collateral acquired in a Permitted Acquisition or otherwise outside of the Ordinary Course of Business until completion of applicable field examinations and appraisals, which shall not be included in the limits provided above, in each case, satisfactory to Lender in its Permitted Discretion; provided that if the applicable field examinations and appraisals have not been conducted within 60 days following the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition (through no cause or delay by Borrower or its Affiliates), then such acquired Collateral shall be included in the Borrowing Base calculation.

9.1.2 Financial and Other Information. Keep adequate records and books of account with respect to its business activities, in which proper entries are made in accordance with GAAP reflecting all financial transactions; and furnish to Lender all financial statements, reports and other items set forth on Exhibit D no later than the time specified therein.

9.1.3 Collateral Reporting. Provide Lender with each certificate, report or schedule set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto no later than the times specified therein (or such later date as Lender shall agree).

9.1.4 Notices. Notify Lender in writing, promptly after Borrower’s obtaining knowledge thereof, of any of the following that affects an Obligor: (a) the threat (in writing) or commencement of any proceeding or investigation, whether or not covered by insurance, if an adverse determination would have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) any pending or threatened (in writing) labor dispute, strike or walkout, or the expiration of any material labor contract; (c) any default under or early termination of a Material Contract; (d) the existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) any judgment in an amount exceeding $500,000; and (f) any violation or asserted violation of any Applicable Law (including ERISA, OSHA, FLSA, or any Environmental Laws), if an adverse resolution would have a Material Adverse Effect; (g) the occurrence of any ERISA Event; (h) any proposed modification to any License or entry into a new License in each case at least 30 days prior to its effective date or any default or breach asserted by any Person to have occurred under any License; (i) any proposed material modifications to any License or entry into a new material License in each case at least 10 days prior to its effective date or any default or breach asserted by any Person to have occurred under any material provision of any License; or (j) the discharge of or any withdrawal or resignation by Borrower’s independent accountants that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.1.5 Compliance with Laws. Comply with all Applicable Laws, including ERISA, Environmental Laws, FLSA, OSHA, Anti-Terrorism Laws, and laws regarding collection and payment of Taxes, and maintain all Governmental Approvals necessary to the ownership of its Properties or conduct of its business, unless failure to comply (other than failure to comply with Anti-Terrorism Laws or the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended) or maintain would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Environmental Release from Borrower’s operations requiring reporting under Environmental Law occurs at or on any Properties of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, it shall report such Environmental Release to Lender and act promptly and diligently to investigate and report to all Governmental Authorities the extent of such Environmental Release as required by Applicable Law, and to make appropriate remedial action to investigate and remediate, such Environmental Release to the extent required under Environmental Law to be performed by Borrower.

9.1.6 Taxes. Pay and discharge all Taxes prior to the date on which they become delinquent or penalties attach, unless such Taxes are being Properly Contested. If an Account of Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes, Lender is authorized, in its discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of Borrower and to charge Borrower therefor; provided, however, that Lender shall not be liable for any Taxes that may be due from Borrower or with respect to any Collateral.

9.1.7 Insurance.

(a) Maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering casualty, hazard, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks, in amounts, with endorsements and with insurers (with a Best Rating of at least A+, unless otherwise approved by Lender in its Permitted Discretion) satisfactory to Lender. All proceeds under each policy shall be payable to an account at Lender. From time to time upon Lender’s reasonable request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the originals or certified copies of its insurance policies and updated flood plain searches (if applicable). Unless Lender shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Lender as lender’s loss payee; (ii) requiring 30 days prior written notice to Lender in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of Lender shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of Borrower or the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy. If Borrower fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge Borrower therefor. Borrower agrees to deliver to Lender, promptly as rendered, copies of all reports made to insurance companies. While no Event of Default exists, Borrower may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered to an account at the Lender. If an Event of Default exists, only Lender shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

(b) Without limiting clause (a) above, maintain insurance with insurers (with a Best Rating of at least A+, unless otherwise approved by Lender in its Permitted Discretion) reasonably satisfactory to Lender, with respect to the Properties and business of Borrower and Subsidiaries of such type (including product liability, workers’ compensation, larceny, embezzlement, or other criminal misappropriation insurance), in such amounts, and with such coverages and deductibles as are customary for companies similarly situated.

9.1.8 Licenses. Keep each material License affecting any Collateral (including the manufacture, distribution or disposition of Inventory) or any other material Property of Borrower and Subsidiaries in full force and effect and pay all Royalties when due, except to the extent such License is replaced by a License that is comparable or more favorable to Borrower or such License matures or expires in accordance with the terms of such License.

9.1.9 Deposit Accounts; Depository Bank. Take all actions necessary to establish Lender’s control of each such Deposit Account maintained by Borrower (other than Excluded Accounts). Borrower shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than Lender and Term Agent) to have control over a Deposit Account or any Property deposited therein.

The rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available by agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise. All such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.

10.5.2 Waivers. No waiver or course of dealing shall be established by (a) the failure or delay of Lender to require strict performance by any Obligor under any Loan Document, or to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise; (b) the making of any Loan or issuance of any Letter of Credit during a Default, Event of Default or other failure to satisfy any conditions precedent; or (c) acceptance by Lender of any payment or performance by an Obligor under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein. Except as set forth in this Agreement, any failure to satisfy a financial covenant on a measurement date shall not be cured or remedied by satisfaction of such covenant on a subsequent date.

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Amendments and Waivers.

11.1.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents and (b) Lender may only assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (any other attempted transfer, assignment or participation by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing herein shall limit the right of Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute such pledgee or assignee as a party hereto.

11.1.2 Amendments and Other Modifications. No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Lender and each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that only the consent of the parties to a Bank Product agreement shall be required for any modification of such agreement. Any waiver or consent granted by Lender shall be effective only if in writing, and only for the matter specified.

11.1.3 Register. Lender, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain (a) a copy (or electronic equivalent) of each assignment document evidencing an assignment of interests in the Loan Documents, and (b) a register for recordation of the names, addresses and Commitments of, and the Loans, interest and LC Obligations owing to, Lender and any Eligible Assignee. Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrower and Lender shall treat each Person recorded in such register as a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Lender shall have no obligation to disclose any information in such register except to the extent necessary to establish that any Person’s interest is in registered form under the Code.

11.2 Power of Attorney. Each Obligor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender) as such Obligor’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section. Lender, or Lender’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or Obligors’ name, but at the cost and expense of Obligors:

(a) Endorse Obligors’ name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into Lender’s possession or control; and

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) notify any Account Debtors of the assignment of their Accounts, demand and enforce payment of Accounts, by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise any rights and remedies with respect to Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, modify, compromise, discharge or release any Accounts or other Collateral, or any legal proceedings brought to collect Accounts or Collateral; (iii) collect, liquidate and receive balances in Deposit Accounts or investment accounts, and take control, in any manner, of proceeds of Collateral; (iv) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to Borrower, and notify postal authorities to deliver any such mail to an address designated by Lender; (v) use Obligors’ stationery and sign its name to verifications of Accounts and notices to Account Debtors; (vi) use information contained in any data processing, electronic or information systems relating to Collateral; (vii) make and adjust claims under insurance policies; and (viii) do all other things necessary to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement.

11.3 Indemnity. OBLIGORS SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

11.4 Notices and Communications.

11.4.1 Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.1.2, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to Borrower, at Borrower’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof, or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 11.4. Each communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Lender pursuant to Section 2.1.3, 2.3, 3.1.2, 4.1.1 or 5.3.3 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Lender such notice is required to be sent. Any written communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party.

11.4.2 Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Electronic mail and internet websites may be used only for routine communications, such as delivery of financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by Section 9.1.2, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents, and matters permitted under Section 4.1.2. Lender make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Electronic and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

11.4.3 Platform. Borrowing Base information, reports, financial statements and other materials shall be delivered by Borrower pursuant to procedures approved by Lender, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Lender to an electronic system maintained by it (“Platform”). Borrower shall notify Lender of each posting of reports or other information on the Platform. All information shall be deemed received by Lender only upon its receipt of such notice. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING 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 LENDER WITH RESPECT TO THE PLATFORM. Lender does not warrant the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any issues involving the Platform. No Indemnitee shall have any liability to Borrower or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform or delivery of any information over the internet.

11.4.4 Non-Conforming Communications. Lender may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower.

11.5 Performance of Obligors’ Obligations. Lender may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Obligors’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of Obligor under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Lender to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Lender’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Lender under this Section shall be reimbursed by Obligors, on demand, with interest from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Revolver Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Lender under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

11.6 Credit Inquiries. Lender may (but shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.

11.7 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

11.8 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

11.9 Counterparts; Execution. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when Lender has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement. Any electronic signature, contract formation on an electronic platform and electronic record-keeping shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

11.10 Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, among the parties relating to the subject matter thereof.

11.11 No Control; No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Nothing in any Loan Document and no action of Lender pursuant to any Loan Document shall be deemed to constitute control of any Obligor by Lender. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that (a)(i) this credit facility and all related services by Lender or its Affiliates are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Obligors and such Person; (ii) Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Obligors are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan

Documents; (b) each of Lender and its Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Obligors, their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Lender and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Obligors and their respective Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Obligors or their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Obligor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Lender and its Affiliates with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

11.12 Confidentiality. Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided they are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any potential or actual transferee of any interest in a Loan Document or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product or to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to an Obligor or Obligor’s obligations; (g) with the consent of Borrower; or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Lender or its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may publish or disseminate general information concerning this credit facility, and may use Borrower’s logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business. Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar to that accorded its own confidential information. Lender acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information; and (iii) it will handle the material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law.

11.13 [Reserved].

11.14 GOVERNING LAW. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL CLAIMS, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES EXCEPT FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS.

11.15 Consent to Forum.

11.15.1 Forum. OBLIGORS HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK AND THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH OBLIGOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING ANY SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.4.1. A final judgment in any proceeding of any such court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

11.15.2 Other Jurisdictions. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Lender of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

11.15.3 Judicial Reference. If any action, litigation or proceeding relating to any Obligations or Loan Documents is filed in a court sitting in or applying the laws of California, the court shall, and is hereby directed to, make a general reference pursuant to Cal. Civ. Proc. Code §638 to a referee (who shall be an active or retired judge) to hear and determine all issues in such case (whether fact or law) and to report a statement of decision. Nothing in this Section shall limit the right of Lender to exercise self-help remedies, such as setoff, foreclosure or sale of any Collateral or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, during or after any judicial reference. The exercise of a remedy does not waive the right of any party to resort to judicial reference. At Lender’s option, foreclosure under a mortgage or deed of trust may be accomplished either by exercise of power of sale thereunder or by judicial foreclosure.

11.16 Waivers by Obligors. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Obligor waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which any Obligor may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Lender may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Lender to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Obligor acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Lender entering into this Agreement and that Lender is relying upon the foregoing in its dealings with Obligors. Each Obligor has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

11.17 Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies Obligors that pursuant to the Patriot Act, Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Obligors, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Lender to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act. Lender will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Obligors’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth. Each Obligor shall, promptly upon request, provide all documentation and other information as Lender may request from time to time in order to comply with any obligations under “know your customer,” anti-money laundering or other requirements of Applicable Law.

11.18 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent the terms of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement conflict, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

11.19 NO ORAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

12.

GUARANTY

12.1 Unconditional Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, the due and punctual performance of all Obligations of each other party hereto. Each payment made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, (a) without set-off or counterclaim and (b) free and clear of and

without deduction or withholding for or on account of any present and future Taxes and any conditions or restrictions resulting in Taxes and all penalties, interest and other payments on or in respect thereof (except for Excluded Taxes) (“Covered Tax” or “Covered Taxes”) unless Guarantor is compelled by law to make payment subject to such Covered Taxes.

12.2 Covered Taxes. All Covered Taxes in respect of this Guaranty or any amounts payable or paid under this Guaranty shall be paid by Guarantor when due and in any event prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto. Each Guarantor will indemnify Lender against and in respect of all such Covered Taxes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Covered Taxes or amounts in respect thereof must be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable or paid by any Guarantor hereunder, such Guarantor shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that Lender receives a net amount equal to the full amount which it would have received had payment (including of any additional amounts payable under this Section 16.2) not been made subject to such Covered Taxes. Within thirty (30) days of each payment by any Guarantor hereunder of Covered Taxes or in respect of Covered Taxes, such Guarantor shall deliver to Lender satisfactory evidence (including originals, or certified copies, of all relevant receipts) that such Covered Taxes have been duly remitted to the appropriate authority or authorities.

12.3 Waivers of Notice, Demand, etc. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder, (ii) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and any other notice with respect to the Obligations, (iii) any requirement that Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Obligor, or any Person or any Collateral, (iv) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such Guarantor of the Obligations, (v) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Obligor or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations by the Obligors and any defense that any other guarantee or security was or has to be obtained by Lender and (vi) any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any such action or any other present or future event relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of right that Lender has under this Agreement and waives any defenses of such Guarantor which might arise as a result of such actions.

12.4 No Invalidity, Irregularity, etc. No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder.

12.5 Independent Liability. The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the other Obligors, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Section 12, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Obligor or other Persons or whether any other Obligor or other Persons are joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Lender in favor of any Obligor or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Lender has expressed any such waiver in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Lender against any Obligor under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness of any Obligor to Lender shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Lender receives actual payment on account of Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any Guarantor in respect of any Obligor.

12.6 Liability Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the

invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any other Obligation or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by:

(a) any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to Borrower or otherwise;

(b) any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations;

(c) the failure of Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Obligor or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument executed an delivered in connection herewith or therewith;

(d) any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Obligor to creditors of any Obligor other than any other Obligor;

(e) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Obligor; and

(f) any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranty hereunder and/or the obligations of any Guarantor, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Obligor or any other Person or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Loans or any other financial accommodations to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents.

12.7 Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Lender may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid.

12.8 Continuing Effectiveness.

(g) This Guaranty herein contained shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if a claim is ever made upon Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by such Person with any such claimant (including any Obligor) or by reason of the Intercreditor Agreement; and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Lender for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person(s).

(h) Lender shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of Obligations.

(i) No Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Lender from any Person for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Lender, or assert any claim for any liability of any Obligor to any Guarantor in priority to or equally with claims of Lender for Obligations, and no Guarantor shall be entitled to compete with Lender with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Lender for Obligations.

(j) If any Obligor makes any payment to Lender, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal, state, provincial or territorial statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Guarantor hereunder.

(k) Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Lender against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all of the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Secured Obligations shall not have been paid in full and the Commitments terminated, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for Lender, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to Lender in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to Lender, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Lender may determine.

12.9 Enforcement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender shall, without notice to or demand upon any Obligor or any other Person, declare any obligations of each Guarantor hereunder immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Guarantor. The rights of Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Lender may have. Upon such declaration by Lender, with respect to any claims (other than those claims referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) of any Guarantor against any other Obligor (the “Claims”), Lender shall have the full right on the part of Lender in its own name or in the name of such Guarantor to collect and enforce such Claims by legal action, proof of debt in bankruptcy or other liquidation proceedings, vote in any proceeding for the arrangement of debts at any time proposed, or otherwise, Lender and each of its officers being hereby irrevocably constituted attorneys-in-fact for each Guarantor for the purpose of such enforcement and for the purpose of endorsing in the name of each Guarantor any instrument for the payment of money. Each Guarantor will receive as trustee for Lender and will pay to Lender forthwith upon receipt thereof any amounts which such Guarantor may receive from any Obligor on account of the Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that at no time hereafter will any of the Claims be represented by any notes, other negotiable instruments or writings, except and in such event they shall either be made payable to Lender, or if payable to any Guarantor, shall forthwith be endorsed by such Guarantor to Lender. Each Guarantor agrees that no payment on account of the Claims or any security interest therein shall be created, received, accepted or retained during the continuance of any Event of Default nor shall any financing statement be filed with respect thereto by any Guarantor.

12.10 Statute of Limitations. Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and whether by any Obligor or others with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of any Guarantor against Lender shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

12.11 Interest. All amounts due, owing and unpaid from time to time by any Guarantor hereunder shall bear interest at the interest rate per annum then chargeable with respect to the Loans (without duplication of interest on the underlying Obligation).

12.12 Currency Conversion. Without limiting any other rights in this Agreement, if for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (herein called the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due hereunder in any currency other than the Judgment Currency, then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which Lender would, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 p.m., be prepared to sell a similar amount of such currency in New York, New York against the Judgment Currency. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of payment of the amount due, each Guarantor will, on the date of payment, pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment is the amount then due under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document in such other currency. Any additional amount due from Guarantor under this Section 12.12 will be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

12.13 Acknowledgment. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Guarantor has made an independent investigation of the Obligor and of the financial condition of the Obligors. Lender has not made and does not make representations or warranties as to the income, expense, operation, finances or any other matter or thing affecting any Obligor, nor has Lender made any representations or warranties as to the amount or nature of the Obligations of any Obligor to which this Section 12 applies as specifically herein set forth, nor has Lender or any officer, agent or employee of Lender or any representative thereof, made any other oral representations, agreements or commitments of any kind or nature, and each Guarantor hereby expressly acknowledges that no such representations or warranties have been made and such Guarantor expressly disclaims reliance on any such representations or warranties.

12.14 Continuing Effectiveness. The provisions of this Section 12 shall remain in effect until the payment in full in cash of all Obligations, the termination of all Commitments and termination of this Agreement.

12.15 Release. Notwithstanding anything else in the Loan Documents to the contrary, Lender may, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to the Borrower, release AG SPV as a Guarantor hereunder in the event that Lender reasonably determines that the status of AG SPV as a Guarantor hereunder could impair the bankruptcy remote nature of AG SPV from the other Obligors hereunder.
