-12-

whatsoever with respect to the enforcement against the Borrower or any Other Guarantor of their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights against the Borrower or any Other Guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Guarantor) (all the foregoing in this clause (ii), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Borrower and the Other Guarantors shall not have any obligation under this Section 3.01(a) with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment or by settlement tantamount to such judgment) of the Guarantor or any Indemnitee and Indemnified Liabilities to the extent solely attributable the purchase, assignment or other transfer to the Guarantor of any Guaranteed Term Loan as a result of any Event of Default, Change of Control Triggering Event or the Guarantor’s call option pursuant to Section 9.13.

-13-

such assignment, conveyance or other transfer, the Administrative Agent and each Guaranteed Party shall execute and deliver to the Guarantor, at the Guarantor’s expense, all documents that the Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such assignment.

-14-

(iii) Turn-Over. If any Subordinated Party receives a payment in violation of the immediately preceding clause (i) or (ii), it will hold such moneys as trustee for (or, in any jurisdiction whose law does not include the concept of trusts, for the account of) the Guarantor and such other Persons (other than any Subordinated Party) as may be entitled thereto and deliver such payments to (x) the Guarantor on account of the Borrower and Other Guarantor Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Other Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement and (y) such other Persons (other than any Subordinated Parties) in accordance with their legal entitlements.

(b) Notwithstanding any payment made by any Other Guarantor hereunder, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Guarantor against the Borrower or any Other Guarantor, nor shall any Other Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any Other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Other Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Guarantor on account of the Reimbursement Obligations are paid in full in cash.

Information required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 7.01 and Section 5.04 shall be deemed to have been delivered if such information shall have been posted by the Administrative Agent on an Intralinks or similar site to which the Guaranteed Parties have been granted access or shall be available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇ and the Guarantor shall have notified the Administrative Agent of the availability of all Form 10Q and Form 10K reports; provided that the Guarantor shall deliver paper copies of such information to any Guaranteed Party that requests such delivery. Information required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 7.01 may also be delivered by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.02 Inspection of Property, Books and Records.

The Guarantor agrees to cooperate and assist in such visits and inspections, in each case at such reasonable times and as often as may reasonably be requested.

(d) any Lien on any asset of any Person existing at the time such Person is merged or consolidated with or into the Guarantor or a Consolidated Subsidiary and not created in contemplation of such event;

(i) any Lien on Margin Stock;

(j) Liens arising from any synthetic lease transaction pursuant to which the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is a lessee; and

(k) Liens not otherwise permitted by the foregoing paragraphs of this Section securing Debt (other than indebtedness hereunder) in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed 20% of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth;

provided, however, that all Liens permitted by the foregoing paragraphs (a) through (i) and (k) shall at no time secure Debt in an aggregate amount greater than 25% of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.

SECTION 7.04 Maintenance of Existence. The Guarantor shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, maintain its corporate existence and carry on its business in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields as such business is now carried an and maintained, and any business that is reasonably related thereto or is a reasonable extension thereof, except as permitted by Section 7.05 hereof; provided, however, that (i) any Subsidiary may be reincorporated under the laws of another state, and (ii) so long as no Event of Default shall be in existence or be caused thereby, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the abandonment or termination of the existence, rights and franchises, or the change in the business of any Subsidiary which is not a Significant Subsidiary, if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Guarantor, such abandonment, termination or change is in the best interest of the Guarantor and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Guaranteed Parties.

SECTION 7.11 Environmental Matters. The Guarantor and its Subsidiaries will not use, produce, manufacture, process, treat, recycle, generate, store, dispose of or manage at the Properties, or otherwise handle, or ship or transport to or from the Properties, any Hazardous Materials except for Hazardous Materials used, produced, manufactured, processed, treated, recycled, generated, stored, disposed, managed, or otherwise handled in the ordinary course of business in compliance in all material respects with applicable Environmental Requirements, and will take commercially reasonable steps to prohibit any third party from doing any of the acts prohibited by the foregoing, except in each case to the extent no Material Adverse Effect would reasonably be expected to result therefrom.

SECTION 7.12 Environmental Release.

At the request of the Guarantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Guarantor, at the Guarantor’s expense, all documents that the Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release; provided, that no such termination and release shall affect or impair the rights of any Guaranteed Party in respect of any claim asserted at the time of such termination and release.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Guarantor or any Guaranteed Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulation, operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent, the Guarantor or any Guaranteed Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Guarantor or such Guaranteed Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law or equity.
