24

 

(b)           Advances
under the Revolving Facility shall be prepaid (immediately, without the
necessity of any demand, and whether or not a Default or Event of Default has
occurred) in an amount as shall be necessary at any time so that the aggregate
amount of Advances under the Revolving Facility outstanding at any time does
not exceed the Revolving Facility Commitment.

 

(c)           Any
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be applied in
accordance with Section 3.8 as if such prepayment were an optional prepayment,
provided that any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.5(a)(i) (solely
with respect to Net Cash Proceeds from insurance proceeds not reinvested as
described in clause (v) of Subsection (a) of the definition of Net Cash
Proceeds), Section 3.5(a)(iii) or Section 3.5(a)(iv) shall not be subject to a
prepayment premium. Notwithstanding
Section 3.5(a) above, if any mandatory prepayment occurs during the
continuance of a Major Event of Default or results in or causes a Major
Event of Default, then the provisions of Section 10.3 shall apply.

 

3.6           Home
Office Payment.

 

The Borrower will
pay all sums becoming due on such Loan for principal, premium, if any, and
interest to the Agent by the method and at the address specified for such
purpose in Annex A attached hereto, or by such other method or at such
other address as the Lenders shall have from time to time specified to the
Borrower in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of
any Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written
request of the Borrower made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after
payment or prepayment in full of any Loan, each Lender shall surrender the
Note, if any, for cancellation, reasonably promptly after such request, to the
Borrower at its principal executive office.

 

3.7           Taxes.

 

(a)           Any and
all payments by the Loan Parties hereunder or under the Loans or other
Transaction Documents that are made to or for the benefit of the Agent and the
Lenders shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all
present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and
penalties, interests and all other liabilities with respect thereto
(collectively, “Taxes”), excluding Taxes imposed on the Agent’s or the
Lenders’ net income or capital and franchise taxes imposed on any of them by
the jurisdiction under the Laws of which any of them is organized or any
political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded Taxes being hereinafter
referred to as “Covered Taxes”). If any of the Loan Parties shall be
required by law to deduct any Covered Taxes from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder or under any Loan or Transaction Document to the Agent for
the benefit of the Lenders, or to the Lenders, the sum payable shall be increased
as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions of Covered
Taxes (including deductions of Covered Taxes applicable to additional sums
payable under this paragraph), each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made. The Loan Parties shall
make such deductions and the Loan Parties shall pay the full amount so deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. In
addition, the Loan Parties agree to pay any present or future stamp,
documentary, excise, privilege, intangible or similar levies that arise at any
time or from time to time from any payment made under any and all Transaction
Documents or from the execution or delivery by the Loan Parties or from the
filing or recording or maintenance of, or otherwise with respect to the
exercise by the Agent or 

 

25

 

the Lenders of
their respective rights under any and all Transaction Documents (collectively, “Other
Taxes”). Subject to Section 3.7(c) below, the Loan Parties will indemnify
the Agent and the Lenders for the full amount of Covered Taxes imposed on or
with respect to amounts payable hereunder and Other Taxes, and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. Payment of this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days
from the date the Agent or the Lenders provide the Borrower with a certificate
certifying and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof as to
the amount and type of such Taxes. The Borrower shall have the right to receive
that portion of any refund of any Taxes and Other Taxes received by a Lender
for which the Borrower has previously paid any additional amount or indemnified
such Lender and which leaves the Lender, after the Borrower’s receipt thereof,
in no better or worse financial position than if no such Taxes or Other Taxes
had been imposed or additional amounts or indemnification paid to the Lender
and, at the request of the Borrower, each Lender shall make a claim for any
refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes. Any such certificates submitted by the
Agent or the Lenders in good faith to the Borrower shall, absent manifest
error, be final, conclusive and binding on all parties. The obligation of the
Loan Parties under this Section 3.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans
and the termination of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after the Loan
Parties having received a receipt for payment of Covered Taxes and/or Other
Taxes, the Loan Parties shall furnish to the Agent, the original or certified
copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

 

(b)           Each
Lender that (i) is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than
the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
and (ii)(A) is a party hereto on the Closing Date or (B) becomes an
assignee of an interest under this Agreement under Section 6.1 after the
Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately
prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the
Agent one or more (as the Borrower or the Agent may reasonably request) Forms W-8ECI,
W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) or other applicable form, certificate or
document prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service certifying as
to such Lender’s entitlement to exemption from withholding or deduction of
Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any
Lender pursuant to this Section 3.7 to the extent that the obligation to pay
such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such
Lender to comply with this paragraph.

 

(c)           To the
extent such lending office already acts as the designated lending office for
such Lender with other borrowers, each Lender shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to change its applicable lending office by designating a different
lending office to avoid the imposition of any withholding tax subject to this
Section 3.7. The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender or to
pay any additional amounts to any Lender, in respect of withholding tax to the
extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to such
withholding tax existed on the date such Lender became a party to this
Agreement or, with respect to payments to a new designated lending office, the
date such Lender designated such new lending office with respect to the Loans,
or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but
for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (b)
above or (iii) such Lender is treated as a “conduit entity” within the meaning
of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.881-3 or any successor provision.

 

26

 

3.8           Break
Fund Payments

 

In the event of the
payment of any principal of any Loan other than on the date such payment was
scheduled pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof or the due date for mandatory
prepayments pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof (including payments as a result
of an Event of Default), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand
(which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for
the amount being claimed, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Agent), for
the net loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (including any net
loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds of such Lender).

 

3.9           Priority
of Payment.

 

All payments
received pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 shall be
applied by the Agent in the following manner:

 

First, all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the
Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the
Transaction Documents, including all court costs (whether at trial, appellate
or administrative levels) of the Agent and its agents, representatives, and
attorneys incurred in connection with the sale or with the retaking, holding,
handling, preparing for sale (or other disposition) of the Collateral and all
other fees and expenses incurred by the Agent for which it is entitled to
payment or reimbursement pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof or pursuant to any
other Transaction Document;

 

Second, all fees and expenses
for which the Lenders are entitled to payment or reimbursement pursuant to the
provisions of Section 3.8 and/or 11.4 hereof or pursuant to any other
Transaction Document (including under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement
and Currency Hedging Agreement owing to any Lender);

 

Third, any prepayment
premium that would be applicable in connection with the Notes pro rata if such
payment were a voluntary prepayment under Section 3.3;

 

Fourth, principal
outstanding under the Revolving Facility and all accrued and unpaid interest
due and owing to the Lenders pro rata;

 

Fifth, all principal outstanding
under the Notes pro rata; and

 

Sixth, all other obligations
owing to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents.

 

3.10         Maximum
Lawful Rate.

 

This Agreement, the
Notes and the other Transaction Documents are hereby limited by this Section 3.10.
In no event, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the amounts
due hereunder or otherwise, shall interest and fees contracted for, charged,
received, paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders exceed the maximum amount
permissible under such applicable Law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever,
interest and fees would otherwise be payable to the 

 

27

 

Agent or the Lenders in excess of the maximum amount permissible under
applicable Law, the interest and fees shall at any time be reduced to the
maximum amount permitted under applicable Law. If from any circumstance, the
Agent or the Lenders shall have received anything of value deemed interest by
applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any
excess of interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of
the Loans, in such manner as may be determined by the Agent, and not to the
payment of fees or interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid
balance of the principal amount of the Loans, such excess shall be refunded to
the Loan Parties.

 

3.11         Capital
Adequacy/Increased Cost.

 

If, after the date
hereof, either the introduction of or any change of the interpretation of any Law
or the compliance by any Lender with any guideline or request from any Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law) has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on the capital or assets of any Lender, or
increasing the costs of such Lender, in either case as a consequence of, as
determined by the Agent or any Lender in its sole discretion, the existence of
any Lender’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Documents, then, upon demand by such Lender, in reasonable detail setting forth
the aggregate amount of such additional amounts and the basis therefor, the
Borrower within five (5) Business Days of such demand shall pay to such Lender,
from the time not earlier than 90 days prior to the date of such demand as
specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such
Lender in light of such circumstances. The obligations of the Borrower under
this Section 3.11 shall survive the payments of the Loans and the
termination of this Agreement.

 

3.12         Certain
Waivers.

 

Except as otherwise
provided for in this Agreement, the Borrower unconditionally waives (a) any
rights to presentment, demand, protest or (except as expressly required hereby)
notice of any kind, and (b) any rights of rescission, setoff, counterclaim
or defense to payment of the Loans in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement that the Borrower may have or claim against any Lender, the Agent or
any prior Lender or Agent, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Lender, the Agent or such prior Lender or Agent.

 

3.13         Payments.

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Borrower timely sent
required payments hereunder to the appropriate bank account designated by Agent
(in accordance with the terms hereof) using the appropriate wiring instructions
designated by Agent (in accordance with the terms hereof) and through no fault
of the Borrower such payments are not credited to such account within the time
period set forth herein, no payment default shall have occurred so long as
documentation reasonably acceptable to Agent of the above facts are promptly provided
to Agent upon Agent’s request.

collectively with the Annual Statements, the “Financial Statements”). The
Financial Statements fairly represent in all material respects the consolidated
financial condition of the Seller as of their dates and the results of
operations for the fiscal periods then ended and have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied subject to adjustments as described
in the report of Ernst & Young, LLP, and further subject, in the case of
the Interim Statements, to normal year-end adjustments and absence of footnote
disclosure.

 

(ii)           Financial
Projections. The Borrower has delivered to the Agent
consolidated financial projections of the Loan Parties for the period ending
December 31, 2006 through December 31, 2012 derived from various
assumptions of the Borrower’s management (the “Financial Projections”). The
Financial Projections represent a reasonable good faith estimate of possible
results in light of the history of the Business and the Seller, present and
foreseeable conditions and the intentions of the Borrower’s management,
however, actual results will undoubtedly vary.

 

(iii)          Accuracy
of Financial Statements. As of the Closing Date, the
Loan Parties do not have any material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, or
forward or long-term commitments that are not disclosed in the Financial
Statements or, in the case of Financial Statements that have notes, in the
notes thereto, other than obligations or liabilities under the Transaction
Documents and the Acquisition Agreement, and except as disclosed therein, as of
the Closing Date there are no unrealized or anticipated losses from any
commitments of the Loan Parties that may cause a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d)           Capitalization
and Related Matters. As of the Closing Date, the
authorized Capital Stock of each Loan Party and the number and ownership of all
outstanding Capital Stock of each Loan Party is as set forth on the Organizational
Schedule. As of the Closing Date, none of the Loan Parties will be subject
to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire
or retire any shares of its Capital Stock, except as set forth herein, in the
Stockholders Agreement and in the Charter Documents, respectively, as in effect
on the date hereof. As of the Closing, all of the outstanding shares of each
Loan Party’s Capital Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Based on the representations and warranties given by the holders of Capital
Stock of the Loan Parties on or prior to the date hereof, none of the Loan
Parties has violated, in any material respect, any applicable federal or state
securities Laws in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of any of its
Capital Stock other than as described on the Organizational Schedule. Except
for the Stockholders Agreement, as of the Closing Date, there are no agreements
among Parent’s stockholders with respect to the voting or transfer of Parent’s
Capital Stock.

(e)           Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on the Organizational Schedule, the sole
Subsidiary of the Parent is the Borrower and the Borrower has no Subsidiaries.

 

(f)            Authorization;
No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which each Loan Party is
a party, and the consummation of the Transactions and the Acquisition have been
duly authorized by each of the Loan Parties. Except as described in the “Consents
Schedule” attached hereto as Schedule 5.1(f), the execution and
delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Transaction Documents to which it
is a party and the consummation of the Transactions and the Acquisition do not
and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, (ii) constitute a default under,
(iii) except as created pursuant to the Security Documents, result in the
creation of any Lien upon any of the Loan Parties’ Capital Stock or assets

Loan Parties is subject, or any agreement, instrument, contract, order,
judgment, writ, injunction or decree to which any of the Loan Parties is a
party or to which they or their assets are subject, the breach or violation of
which would be material to the performance or observance of the Loan Parties of
their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents, the
enforceability of the Transaction Documents or the Liens for the benefit of the
Lenders in the Collateral.

 

(g)           Governmental
Approvals. Except as specifically provided by the
Transaction Documents and except for filings in connection with the perfection
of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents, no registration with
or consent or approval of, or other action by, any Governmental Authority is or
will be required in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, the
Acquisition and the transactions contemplated by the Loan Parties, except for
those registrations, consents, approvals or actions which if not made, obtained

(h)           Enforceability. This Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Transaction
Documents when duly executed and delivered by each of the Loan Parties who are
parties thereto will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of each

subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of
general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and
subject to general equitable principles which may limit the right to obtain
equitable remedies.

 

(i)            No
Material Adverse Change. Since August 31, 2006, there
has been no event or occurrence that would be reasonably likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

hereto as Schedule 5.1(j), as of the Closing Date there are no
actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any
arbitrator or any Governmental Authority of which any Loan Party has received
written notice now pending or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened

affecting any of the Loan Parties or any of their directors or officers in
their capacity as directors and officers or the Business, assets or rights of
any of the Loan Parties.

Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds
from loans made hereunder to consummate the Acquisition, to refinance certain Existing
Indebtedness of the Loan Parties, and to finance the working capital expenses
and general corporate requirements of the Loan Parties subsequent to the
Acquisition. The Loan Parties are not engaged in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” or “margin
security” (within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X issued by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no proceeds of the loans made
hereunder will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or margin security
or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin

has paid or caused to be paid all material taxes shown to be due and payable on
such returns or on any assessments received by it, including payroll taxes,
except to the extent subject to a contest maintained in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Loan Parties have set on

Security Interests. The Loan Parties have good and
marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of the material
assets and properties necessary for the operation of the Business

repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and all
such assets and properties are owned or 

 

38

 

leased by the
Loan Parties free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens. The

rights of any type used in or necessary for the conduct of the Business. The
Security Documents, taken as a whole, create and grant to the Agent a valid and
perfected first priority security interest in all the Collateral thereunder,
subject only to Permitted Liens. All real estate owned or leased by any of the
Loan Parties as of the Closing Date is listed on the “Properties Schedule,”
attached hereto as Schedule 5.1(q).

Intellectual Property Schedule identifies, as of the Closing Date, for each

Parties’ Knowledge, and for any date thereafter, as required by
Section 4.2, no event has occurred that permits, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any of the
foregoing, which taken in isolation or when considered with all other such
revocations or terminations could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, none of the Loan Parties has notice or
knowledge of any facts or any occurrence that could reasonably be expected to preclude
or impair the Loan Parties’ ability to retain or obtain its ownership of or
right to use any Proprietary Right used in or necessary to conduct the Business
as heretofore conducted or as proposed to be conducted by it in connection with
the NETFINITI Business, or any authorization necessary for the operation of the
Business.

 

(s)           Solvency. After giving effect to the Transactions, (i) the fair value of the
assets of the Loan Parties, at a fair valuation, will exceed their debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, (ii) the present fair
saleable value of the property of the Loan Parties will be greater than the
amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and
other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and
other liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) the Loan Parties will be
able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured, and (iv) the Loan
Parties will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the

proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

behalf of the Loan Parties to the Agent for purposes of or in connection with
this Agreement or the Transactions (excluding third party reports) is, and all
other such factual information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Loan
Parties (excluding third party reports) will be, true and accurate in all
material respects on the date as of which such information is furnished and not

placement fee or commission will be payable to any broker or agent engaged by
any of the Loan Parties or any of its officers, directors or agents with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the
Transactions, except for fees payable to ACFS, the Lenders and the Agent. The
Loan Parties agree to indemnify the Agent and the Lenders and to hold them
harmless in accordance with the terms of Section 11.13 from and against
any claim, demand or liability for brokers’ or finders’ or placement fees or
similar commissions, whether or not payable by the Loan Parties, alleged to
have been incurred in connection with such transactions, other than any broker’s
or finder’s fees payable to Persons engaged by the Agent or the Lenders without
the knowledge of the Loan Parties.

ARTICLE VI

 

ASSIGNMENTS;
PARTICIPATIONS; LOST NOTES; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS

 

6.1           Assignments.

 

(a)           Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignee (any such
Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such Lender’s loans and
commitments hereunder, 

 

40

 

with the prior
written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in
clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee); provided, however,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Lender will provide at least
ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intent to assign all or any
portion of its Loans to Borrower and such notice shall contain a list of
proposed assignees; provided, further, so long as no Significant Event
of Default exists, the Borrower shall approve of or reject (which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be
required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
or a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the
definition of Eligible Assignee) each such proposed assignee for such proposed
assignment prior to the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period
beginning upon Borrower’s receipt of such notice of the proposed assignment and
such assigning Lender shall only negotiate with the proposed assignees approved
of by Borrower (in accordance with this Section) or with proposed assignees
suggested by Borrower during such ten (10) Business Day period). Except as the
Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment (other than any assignment by a
Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person
described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee) shall be in
a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire
commitment or the principal amount of the loan being assigned. The Borrower and
the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until the
Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (an “Assignment
Agreement”) executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable
parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500 to be paid by the Lender to whom
such interest is assigned; provided that (x) no such fee shall be
payable in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an
Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender and (y) no Assignment Agreement
shall be required in connection with assignments by ACAS or any of its
Affiliates to ACAS or any of its Affiliates. No assignment may be made to any
Person if at the time of such assignment the Borrower would be obligated to pay
any greater amount under Section 3 to the Assignee than the Borrower is then
obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Section (and if any
assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Borrower will not be
required to pay such greater amounts). Any attempted assignment not made in
accordance with this Section 6.1 shall be treated as the sale of a
participation hereunder. The Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its
consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless the Borrower
has expressly objected to such assignment within three (3) Business Days after
notice thereof.

 

(b)           From and
after the date on which the conditions described above have been met,
(i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party
hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned to such Assignee pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, shall have the
rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning
Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned
by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights
(other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the reasonable
request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to
an effective Assignment Agreement, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to
the Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning
Lender) Notes in the principal amount of the Assignee’s pro rata share of the 

 

41

 

Revolving
Facility Commitment and the principal amount of the Assignee’s pro rata share
of each term loan (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of the pro
rata share of the Revolving Facility Commitment and each Term Loan retained by
the assigning Lender) and the applicable assigning Lender shall deliver the
Notes so assigned to the Borrower for cancellation within ten (10) Business
Days after the consummation of such assignment.

 

(c)           The
Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall
maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment
Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount of the
loans owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such
register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by the
Borrower at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. Any
assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan shall be registered on such
register only upon delivery of a duly executed Assignment Agreement.

 

(d)           The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the preceding provisions of this
Section 6.1 concerning assignments of Loans relate only to absolute assignments.
In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 6.1, any
Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other
Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, (A) to any Federal
Reserve Bank or (B) to a trustee for the benefit of a Lender’s investors
or to another representative of a financing party for the assigning Lender.

 

6.2           Participations.

 

Any Lender may at
any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans,
commitments and other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”)
with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall not be required for a participation by a Lender
to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or a
Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee); provided,
however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Lender will
provide at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intent to
sell a participation to Borrower and such notice shall contain a list of
proposed Participants; provided, further, so long as no
Significant Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall approve or reject
(which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and
shall not be required for a participation by a Lender to a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in
clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee) each such proposed
Participant for such proposed participation prior to the expiration of the ten
(10) Business Day period beginning upon Borrower’s receipt of such notice of
the proposed participation and such selling Lender shall only negotiate with
the proposed Participants approved by Borrower (in accordance with this
Section) or with proposed Participants suggested by Borrower during such ten
(10) Business Day period); provided, further, that the conditions
of Section 6.1(a) are satisfied. In the event of a sale by a Lender of a
participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Lender’s obligations
hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) the Borrower and
the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and
(iii) all amounts payable by the Borrower shall be 

 

42

 

determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall
be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or
indirect voting rights with respect to its participating interest hereunder
except with respect to any event described in Section 9.11 expressly
requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected
Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding
sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with
any Participant. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this
Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each
Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its
participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement; provided
that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each
Participant to share with the Lenders. The Borrower also agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits, and subject to the obligations,
of Section 3 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant shall
receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 3 than would have been
paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold).

 

6.3           Replacement
of Lost Notes.

 

Upon receipt of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the mutilation,
destruction, loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof, the Borrower
shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Note, execute and deliver
in replacement thereof a new Note in the same form, in the same original
principal amount and dated the same date as the Note so mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen; and such Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shall
then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder. If the Note being replaced has
been mutilated, it shall be surrendered to the Borrower; and if such replaced
Note has been destroyed, lost or stolen, such holder shall furnish the Borrower
with an indemnity in writing to save it harmless in respect of such replaced
Note.

 

6.4           Replacement
of Lenders.

 

If
(i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender
or Participant pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.11 or (ii) any Lender does not
consent to any matter requiring its consent under Section 9.11 when the Required
Lenders have otherwise consented to such matter or (iii) any Lender with a
Revolving Facility Commitment defaults in its obligation to make Advances under
Section 2.3, then the Borrower may within one hundred twenty (120) days
thereafter either prepay any Loans then held by such Lender (or by a Lender for
such Participant), or designate another Person which is acceptable to the Agent
in its reasonable discretion (such other bank being called a “Replacement
Lender”) to purchase the Loans of such Lender and such Lender’s rights
hereunder and such Lender or Participant agrees to sell such Loans and rights
hereunder to such Replacement Lender, without recourse to or warranty by, or
expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but
unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such
Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and
to assume all the obligations and commitments of such Lender hereunder, and,
upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), such
Lender or Participant shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights
hereunder or with respect hereto (other than rights with respect to indemnities
and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase
and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to the

the Target of such Permitted Acquisition for the 12 months preceding the date
of consummation of such Permitted Acquisition; provided, that for the first 12

of the amount set forth above for such Fiscal Year may be carried forward, but
may be expended only in the immediately succeeding Fiscal Year. Any amount so
carried forward shall be deemed made hereunder following utilization of all

AGENT

 

9.1           Authorization
and Action.

 

Each Lender hereby
designates and appoints ACFS as the Agent hereunder and authorizes ACFS to take
such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on
the part of the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist for
the Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Agent shall
act solely as agent for the Lenders and does not assume, nor shall be deemed to
have assumed, any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the
Loan Parties or any of their respective successors or assigns. The Agent shall
not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability
or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Laws. The appointment and
authority of the Agent hereunder shall terminate at the indefeasible payment in
full of the Loans and obligations hereunder.

 

9.2           Delegation
of Duties.

 

The Agent may
execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact
and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to
such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.

 

61

 

9.3           Exculpatory
Provisions.

 

Neither the Agent
nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be
(a) liable to any of the Lenders for any action lawfully taken or omitted
to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement and any
other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of the Agent, the breach of
its obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction
Document, unless such action was taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent at
the direction of the Required Lenders), or (b) responsible in any manner
to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by the Loan Parties contained in this Agreement, any other
Transaction Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement,
any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection
herewith, or for any failure of any of the Loan Parties to perform their
respective obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction (or lack thereof) of
any condition specified in Article IV. The Agent shall not be under any
obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of any of the Loan Parties.

 

9.4           Reliance.

 

The Agent shall in
all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon
any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Loan Parties),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent
shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith
unless it shall first receive such direction, advice or concurrence of the
Required Lenders, as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by the Lenders; provided that unless and until the
Agent shall have received such direction, advice or concurrence, the Agent may
take or refrain from taking any action, as the Agent shall deem advisable and
in the best interests of the Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request
of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all
Lenders.

 

9.5           Non-Reliance
on the Agent and Other Lenders.

 

Each Lender expressly
acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations
or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent or hereafter taken, including
any review of the affairs of the Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute
any representation or warranty by the Agent. Each Lender represents and
warrants to the Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance
upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into
the

 

62

 

business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other
conditions and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and made its own decision
to enter into this Agreement.

 

9.6           No
Liability of Lenders.

 

The Lenders shall
have no liability to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other entity as
a result of any actions or failures to act by the Agent hereunder or otherwise.

 

9.7           The
Agent in its Individual Capacity.

 

The Agent, and each
of its Affiliates may make loans to, purchase securities from, provide services
to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the
Loan Parties or any Affiliate of the Loan Parties as though the Agent were not
the Agent hereunder.

 

9.8           Successor
Agent.

 

The Agent may, upon
thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and each Lender, and the Agent will,
upon the direction of the Required Lenders (other than the Agent, in its
individual capacity), resign as the Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then the
Required Lenders during such thirty (30) day period shall appoint a successor
the Agent (with the consent of Borrower so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing) and if the Required Lenders direct the
Agent to resign, such direction shall include an appointment of a successor the
Agent (with the consent of Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing). If for any reason no successor the Agent is
appointed by the Required Lenders during such thirty (30) day period, then
effective upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Lenders shall
perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall make
all payments in respect of the Loans and obligations hereunder directly to the
applicable Lenders and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. After
any retiring the Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Agent, the
provisions of Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, ACFS agrees to remain the Agent under this Agreement until ACAS
no longer owns any portion of the Loans or Notes.

 

9.9           Collections
and Disbursements.

 

(a)           The Agent
will have the right to collect and receive all payments of the Loans and
obligations hereunder, and to collect and receive all reimbursements due
hereunder, together with all fees, charges or other amounts due under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with regard to the Loans and
obligations hereunder, and the Agent will remit to each Lender, according to
its pro rata percentage of the applicable Loans and obligations hereunder as
set forth on Annex A attached hereto, all such payments actually
received by the Agent (other fees due and owing to the Agent pursuant to the
Fee Letter and the fees and expenses of the Agent payable by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof) in accordance with the settlement
procedures established by the Agent from time to time. Settlements shall occur
on such dates as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion, but which shall be
no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof.

 

63

 

(b)           If any
such payment received by the Agent is rescinded or otherwise required to be
returned for any reason at any time, whether before or after termination of
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, each Lender will, upon
written notice from the Agent, promptly pay over to the Agent its pro rata
percentage of the amounts so rescinded or returned, together with interest and
other fees thereon so rescinded or returned.

 

(c)           All
payments by the Agent and the Lenders to each other hereunder shall be in
immediately available funds. The Agent will at all times maintain proper books
of accounts and records reflecting the interest of each Lender in the Loans and
obligations hereunder, in a manner customary to the Agent’s keeping of such
records, which books and records shall be available for inspection by each
Lender at reasonable times during normal business hours, at such Lender’s sole
expense. The Agent may treat the payees of any Loan as the holder thereof until
written notice of the transfer thereof shall have been received by the Agent in
accordance with the provisions hereof. In the event that any Lender shall
receive any payment on account of any Loans or obligations hereunder in an
amount greater than its applicable pro rata percentage of all amounts received
by all Lenders in respect of such class of Loans and obligations hereunder
(including amounts obtained by reason of setoffs) such Lender shall hold such
excess in trust for the Agent (on behalf of all other Lenders) and shall
promptly remit to the Agent such excess amount so that the amounts received by
each Lender in respect of such class of Loans and obligations hereunder shall
at all times be in accordance with its applicable pro rata percentage. If,
however, any Lender that has received any such excess amount fails to remit
such amount to the Agent, the Agent shall reallocate the amounts paid on future
payment dates to each Lender so that, after giving effect to such payments, the
pro rata obligations owed by the Loan Parties to each Lender shall be in an
amount equal to the pro rata amount owed by the Loan Parties before the date of
the payment of such excess amount. In no event shall any Lender be deemed to
have a participation or other right in, to or against any other Lender’s Loan
as a result of the payment of any excess amount.

 

9.10         Reporting. During the term of
this Agreement, the Agent will promptly furnish each Lender with copies of all
notices and financial statements of the Loan Parties required to be delivered
or obtained hereunder and such other financial statements and reports and other
information in the Agent’s possession as any Lender may reasonably request. The
Agent will promptly notify the Lenders when it receives actual notice of any
Event of Default under the Transaction Documents.

 

9.11         Consent
of Lenders.

 

(a)           Except as
expressly provided herein, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to
service, administer and monitor this Agreement, the Loans and the other
Transaction Documents, including the right to exercise all rights, remedies,
privileges and options under this Agreement and under the other Transaction
Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender shall make its own
investment decision with regard to this Agreement and the Loans, including the
credit judgment with respect to the making of Loans and the determination as to
the basis on which and extent to which Loans may be made.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.11(a) above, the Agent
shall not without the prior written consent of all the Lenders then holding
Loans and

 

64

 

obligations
hereunder:  (i) extend any payment
date or reduce the amount of any payment due hereunder, including any interest,
principal or fees (other than fees owing solely to the Agent), (ii) reduce
any interest rate applicable to any of the Loans hereunder or any fee payable
to the Lenders hereunder, (iii) waive any Event of Default under Section
8.1(a), (iv) compromise or settle all or a portion of the Loans hereunder,
(v) release any obligor from any of the obligations hereunder except in
connection with full payment and satisfaction of all such obligations or
release all or substantially all of the Collateral, (vi) increase any Loan or
commitment hereunder, (vii) amend the definition of the Required Lenders,
or (viii) amend this Section 9.11(b).

 

(c)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.11(a) above, and subject
to any applicable limitation set forth in Section 9.11(b) above, the Agent
shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders:  (i) waive any Event of Default;
(ii) consent to any Loan Parties’ taking any action that, if taken, would
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement or under any of the other
Transaction Documents; or (iii) amend or modify or agree to an amendment
or modification of this Agreement or other Transaction Documents.

 

(d)           After an
acceleration of any obligations hereunder, the Agent shall, upon written
instruction from the Required Lenders, exercise or refrain from exercising any
and all rights, remedies, privileges and options under this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents or available at law or in equity to protect the
rights of the Agent and the Lenders and collect the Loans hereunder, including
instituting and pursuing all legal actions against any Loan Party or to collect
such loans, defending any and all actions brought by any Loan Party or other
Person, and incurring expenses or otherwise making expenditures to protect the
collateral securing the obligations hereunder, the Loans or the Agent’s or any
Lender’s rights or remedies under any Transaction Document or applicable Law.

 

(e)           The Agent
shall not increase any Lender’s portion of the Revolving Facility Commitment
without the prior written consent of such Lender.

 

9.12         Indemnification.

 

Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify
upon demand the Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the
extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so), based on such Lender’s pro rata share of
the outstanding Loans and commitments, from and against any and all actions,
causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including
legal costs, except to the extent any thereof result from the applicable Person’s
own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall
reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket
expenses (including legal costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of,
or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement,
any other Transaction Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to
herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or
on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.12 shall survive
repayment of the Loans,

 

65

 

cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of
Credit, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or
all of the Transaction Documents, termination of this Agreement and the
resignation or replacement of the Agent.

 

9.13         Collateral
Matters.

 

The Lenders
irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(a) to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent under any
Transaction Document (i) when all obligations hereunder have been paid in
full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part
of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (it
being agreed and understood that the Agent may conclusively rely without
further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of the Borrower as to the sale
or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement);
or (iii) subject to Section 9.11, if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Required Lenders; or (b) to subordinate its interest in any
Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by
Section 7.2(b)(iv) (it being understood that the Agent may conclusively rely on
a certificate from the Borrower in determining whether the Indebtedness secured
by any such Lien is permitted by Section 7.2(a)(v)). Upon request by the Agent
at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to
release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of
Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.13.

 

9.14         This
Article Not Applicable to Loan Parties.

 

This Article IX is
included in this Agreement solely for the purpose of determining certain rights
as between the Agent and the Lenders and does not create, nor shall it give
rise to, any rights in or obligations on the part of the Loan Parties and all
rights and obligations of the Loan Parties (other than as specifically set
forth herein) under this Agreement shall be determined by reference to the
provisions of this Agreement other than this Article IX.

In the event that any Junior Notes shall be declared due and payable as
the result of the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default in respect
thereof, under circumstances when the terms of Section 10.2 do not prohibit
payment on Junior Notes, no payment shall be made in respect of any Junior

If any payment, distribution or security or the proceeds of any
thereof, shall be collected or received by any Junior Lender in contravention
of any of the terms of this Agreement, then, subject to this Agreement, the
holder thereof will forthwith deliver such payment, distribution, security or
proceeds to Agent, to be applied by Agent to permanently repay the Senior
Loans. If the Senior Loans shall have been paid in full, then the Senior
Lenders shall pay to Agent, on behalf of the Junior Lenders, any amount in
excess thereof that the Junior Lenders would have been entitled to but for the
application of the immediately preceding sentence, but solely to the extent any
such amount was actually received by the Senior Lenders and Agent shall apply
such amount in accordance with this Agreement. If any turnover pursuant to this
Section 10.7 is required as a result of a reinstatement of any Senior Loans and
an avoidance, disgorgement or turnover obligation of any Senior Lender by a
court in any Proceeding or otherwise, no Junior

 

69

 

Lender shall be obligated to make such turnover unless it has received
written demand to do so by such Senior Lender or Agent within ninety (90) days

10.8         No
Prejudice or Impairment.

 

The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the purposes of
defining the relative rights of the Senior Lenders and the Junior Lenders.

rights and remedies otherwise permitted by applicable Law upon default under any
Transaction Document subject, however, to the provisions of this Agreement. The
right of any Senior Lenders to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document shall not at any time in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Loan Party or by any
act or failure to act by Agent or any Senior Lender or by any noncompliance by
any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement or any
other Transaction Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any
Senior Lender may have or be otherwise charged with. Nothing herein shall
impair, as between each Loan Party and any Junior Lender, the obligation of
such Loan Party, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Junior
Lenders the principal of and interest on the Junior Loans as and when the same
shall become due in accordance with their terms, nor shall anything herein
prevent any Junior Lender from exercising all rights and remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, subject, however, to the provisions of this Article 10.

 

10.9         Subrogation.

 

From and after the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior
Loans, until the principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest on the Junior
Loans shall be paid in full, the Junior Lenders shall be subrogated to all
rights of the Senior Lenders to receive any further payments or distributions
applicable to the Senior Loans to the extent any such payment or distribution
is made to or for the account of the Senior Lenders.

 

10.10       Amendments.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no amendment, waiver
or other modification of this Article 10 shall be effective unless such
amendment, waiver or other modification shall have been approved in writing by
Agent and all of the Senior Lenders outstanding at the time of such amendment,
waiver or other modification.

Parent and the
Borrower hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent and the
Lenders, their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, partners, subsidiaries and representatives, and their
respective successors and assigns (an “Indemnified Person”) in
connection with any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to which any such Person may become
subject (other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of any Indemnified Person), insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or by
reason of any misrepresentation in any representation or warranty of or by, or
investigation, litigation or other proceedings related to or resulting from any
act of, or omission by, the Loan Parties or Sponsor or any officer, director,
employee, agent or representative of the Loan Parties or Sponsor with respect
to the Transactions, the Notes, the Transaction Documents, Charter Documents,
the Organization Documents or any other agreements entered into in connection
with any such agreements, instruments or documents and to reimburse each
Indemnified Person, upon demand, for any reasonable legal or other reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, expense or action. To the extent that the foregoing
undertakings may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower agrees to make
the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of indemnified
liabilities set forth in this Section 11.13 that is permissible under applicable
Law. This indemnity and agreement to defend and hold harmless shall survive any
termination or satisfaction of the Loans and other obligations hereunder or the
sale, assignment or foreclosure thereof or the sale, transfer or conveyance of
all or part of the past and present properties and facilities or any other
circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable release or
discharge, in whole or in part, of the Borrower hereunder.

 

11.14       Environmental
Indemnity.

 

The Borrower hereby
releases and discharges, and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, the
Agent and the Lenders and their Affiliates and each of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, partners, subsidiaries, customers,
guests, invitees and representatives, and their respective successors and
assigns (an “Environmental Indemnified Person”)
from and against any and all Environmental Liabilities, whenever and by
whomever asserted, to the extent that such Environmental Liabilities are based
upon, or otherwise relate to:

 

75

 

(a) any Condition at any time in, at, on, under, a part of, involving
or otherwise related to the Properties and Facilities (including any of the
properties, materials, articles, products, or other things included in or
otherwise a part of the Properties and Facilities); (b) any action or failure
to act of any Person, including any prior owner or operator of the Properties
and Facilities (including any of the properties, materials, articles, products,
or other things included in or otherwise a part of the Properties and
Facilities), involving or otherwise related to the Properties and Facilities or
operations of the Loan Parties; (c) the Management of any Pollutant,
material, article or product (including Management of any material, article or
product containing a Pollutant) in any physical state and at any time,
involving or otherwise related to the Properties and Facilities or any property
covered by clause (d) (including Management either from the Properties and
Facilities or from any property covered by clause (d), and Management to, at,
involving or otherwise related to the Properties and Facilities or any property
covered by clause (d)); (d) Conditions, and actions or failures to act, in, at,
on, under, a part of, involving or otherwise related to any property other than
the Properties and Facilities, which property was, at or prior to the Closing
Date, (i) acquired, held, sold, owned, operated, leased, managed, or
divested by, or otherwise associated with, (A) the Loan Parties, (B) any
of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates, or (C) any predecessor or successor
organization of those identified in (A) or (B); or (ii) engaged in any tolling,
contract manufacturing or processing, or other similar activities for, with, or
on behalf of the Loan Parties; (e) any violation of or noncompliance with
or the assertion of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) under the
Environmental Laws, (f) the presence of any Pollutants on, at or from the
past and present Properties and Facilities, including human exposure thereto;
(g) any Release affecting the past and present Properties and Facilities,
whether or not the same originates or emanates from such Properties and
Facilities or any contiguous real estate, including any loss of value of such
Properties and Facilities as a result thereof; or (h) a misrepresentation
in any representation or warranty or breach of or failure to perform any
covenant made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document. This indemnity and agreement to defend and hold harmless shall
survive any termination or satisfaction of the Loans and other obligations
hereunder or the sale, assignment or foreclosure thereof or the sale, transfer
or conveyance of all or part of the past and present Properties and Facilities
or any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable
release or discharge, in whole or in part, of the Borrower hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if and to the extent that any Environmental Liabilities are
directly caused as a result of an Environmental Indemnified Person’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct, such Environmental Indemnified Person and its
Affiliates shall not be entitled to the indemnity provided above.

 

11.15       Marshaling;
Payments Set Aside.

 

Neither the Agent
nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of
the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the
obligations hereunder. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or
payments to the Agent or any Lender, or the Agent or any Lender enforces its
Liens or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or any Lender
in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in
connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise,
then (a) to the extent of such 

 

76

 

recovery, the obligation hereunder or part thereof originally intended
to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if
such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred
and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its
ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent to
the extent paid to such Lender.

 

11.16       Nonliability
of Lenders.

 

The relationship
between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and the Agent on the other
hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any
Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibility to the Borrower. Neither the
Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or
inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s
business or operations. Execution of this Agreement by Parent and the Borrower
constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims
which such parties may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior
discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Neither the Agent nor
any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Parent and the
Borrower hereby waive, release and agree not to sue for, any special, indirect,
punitive or consequential damages or liabilities.

 

11.17       Counterparts.

 

This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts and by either party hereto on
separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be
an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the
same instrument. Any such counterpart may be delivered by facsimile, email or
similar electronic transmission and shall be deemed the equivalent of an
originally signed counterpart and shall be fully admissible in any enforcement
proceedings regarding this Agreement.

 

11.18       Integration.

 

This Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents set forth the entire understanding of the
parties hereto with respect to all matters contemplated hereby and supersede
all previous agreements and understandings among them concerning such matters. No
statements or agreements, oral or written, made prior to or at the signing
hereof, shall vary, waive or modify the written terms hereof.

 

11.19       Confidentiality.

 

Each of the Agent
and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided
to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Agent or any
Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Agent, any other Lender
or any Affiliate of any thereof that agrees to comply with the provisions of
this Section, (b) to any Assignee or Participant or any prospective Assignee or
Participant that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section,
(c) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and
other professional advisors on a need-to-know basis that agree to comply with
the provisions of this Section, (d) to

 

77

 

any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual
counterparty to a Currency Hedging Agreement or an Interest Rate Protection
Agreement or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors that agrees
to comply with the provisions of this Section, (e) upon the request or demand
of any Governmental Authority, (f) in response to any order of any court or
other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any
requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar
proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this
Section, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any
similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires
access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with
ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (j) in connection with the exercise
of any remedy hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, (k) to an investor
or prospective investor in a Securitization that agrees that its access to
information regarding the Loan Parties, the Loans and Transaction Documents is
solely for purposes of evaluating an investment in a Securitization and who
agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section, (l) to a trustee,
collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in a
Securitization in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting
on the assets serving as collateral for a Securitization, and (m) to a
nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information
regarding the Loan Parties, the Loans and Transaction Documents in connection

issuance, (y) the aggregate of all Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed $2,500,000 and (z) the aggregate amount of all Advances and all Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not

such lesser number of days as the Agent and the Issuing Lender shall agree) prior to the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a Letter of Credit
application in the Issuing Lender's form (or, as the case may be, in the form of application of the underlying letter of credit), duly executed by the Borrower and in all respects satisfactory to the
Agent and the Issuing Lender, together with such other documentation as the Agent or the Issuing Lender may request in support thereof, it being understood that each Letter of Credit application (or,
as the case may be, form of application of underlying letter of credit) shall specify, among other things, the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the expiration date of
such Letter of Credit (which shall not be later than the earlier to occur of (i) one year after the date of issuance thereof and (ii) thirty (30) days prior to the end of the
Revolving Facility Term); provided that such Letters of Credit may be automatically renewed for additional one-year periods but may not be
extended beyond thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Revolving Facility Term. So long as the Issuing Lender has not received written notice that the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 4.2 with respect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit have not been satisfied, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date. The Issuing
Lender shall promptly advise the Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit and of any amendment thereto, extension thereof or event or circumstance changing the amount available for drawing
thereunder. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of any Letter of Credit application and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The Issuing Lender shall
deliver to the Agent upon its request a list of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, together with such information related thereto as the Agent may reasonably request.

of Credit honoring any demand for payment made thereunder, in each case on the date that such payment or disbursement is made. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent
whenever any demand for payment is made under any Letter of Credit; provided, that the failure of the Issuing Lender to so notify the Borrower shall not affect the rights of the Issuing Lender or the
Lenders in any manner whatsoever. Any amount not reimbursed on the date of such payment or disbursement shall bear interest from the date of such payment or disbursement to the date that the Issuing
Lender is reimbursed by the Borrower therefor, payable on demand, at the interest rate per annum from time to time in effect for Advances.

	(ii)
	The
Borrower's reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be irrevocable and unconditional under all circumstances, including (w) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (x) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Loan Party may
have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Agent, the Issuing Lender,
any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Transactions or any 

23

 

related
or unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit), (y) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness
of any document which the Issuing Lender (or, as applicable, the issuer of any underlying letter of credit) has determined complies on its face with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (or,
if applicable, underlying letter of credit), even if such document should later prove to have been forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein shall have been
untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or (z) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms hereof. 

        (d)    Participations in Letters of Credit.    

	(i)
	Concurrently
with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender with a commitment under the
Revolving Facility, and each Lender with a commitment under the Revolving Facility shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender's pro rata share of the Revolving Facility Commitment, in such Letter of Credit and the Borrower's
reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If the Borrower does not pay any reimbursement obligation when due, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have immediately requested that the Lenders
with a commitment under the Revolving Facility make an Advance in a principal amount equal to such reimbursement obligation. The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders that have a commitment under
the Revolving Facility of such deemed request and each such Lender shall make available to the Agent its pro rata share of such Advance. The proceeds of such Advance shall be paid over by the Agent to
the Issuing Lender for the account of the Borrower in satisfaction of such reimbursement obligations.

	(ii)
	If
the Issuing Lender makes any payment or disbursement under any Letter of Credit and (x) the Borrower has not reimbursed the Issuing Lender in full for such
payment or disbursement in accordance with Section 2.7(c), (y) an Advance may not be made pursuant to Section 2.7(d), or (z) any reimbursement received by the Issuing
Lender from the Borrower is or must be returned or rescinded upon or during any bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, then each other Lender with a commitment under the
Revolving Facility shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender its pro rata share of such payment or disbursement (but no such payment
shall diminish the obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.7(c)). Upon notice from the Issuing Lender to the Agent that it has not received any such amount, the Agent shall promptly notify
each such other Lender thereof. To the extent any such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Agent by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the Business Day on which such Lender
receives notice from the Agent of such payment or disbursement (it being understood that any such notice received after 12:00 noon Eastern Standard Time on any Business Day shall be deemed to have
been received on the next following Business Day), such Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount to the Agent for the Issuing Lender's account forthwith on demand, for each day from the date such
amount was to have been delivered to the Agent to the date such amount is paid, at a rate per annum equal to (A) for the first three (3) days after demand, the Federal Funds Rate from
time to time in effect and (B) thereafter, the LIBOR Rate from time to time in effect for Advances. Any such Lender's failure to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any such
payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent such other Lender's pro rata share of such payment, but no 

24

 

Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Agent such other Lender's pro rata share of any such payment or disbursement. 

2.8    Conversion of the Convertible Junior PIK Notes.    

        Optional Conversion.    So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Borrower is in pro forma compliance
with Section 7.3 hereof (immediately prior to and after giving effect to any conversion under this Section 2.8 and any incremental cash interest resulting from such conversion), the
Borrower, may, at its election by sending written notice to the Agent, at the end of each fiscal quarter, commencing June 30, 2007, convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount
of, and the accrued but unpaid interest on, the Convertible Junior PIK Notes up to the PIK Note Conversion Amount into Term Loans, on a pro rata basis. All accrued but unpaid interest on the
Convertible Junior PIK Notes shall be converted prior to the conversion of any principal outstanding on the Convertible Junior PIK Notes. Such notice shall be accompanied by the PIK Note Conversion
Amount Calculation Certificate executed by the chief financial officer of Borrower. Within five (5) days of Agent's receipt of such PIK Note Conversion Amount Calculation Certificate, such PIK
Note Conversion Amount shall be deemed approved by Agent unless Agent does not agree with the calculation of the PIK Note Conversion Amount by Borrower as set forth therein, in which case, such PIK
Note Conversion Amount shall be deemed approved by Agent on the date that the Agent and the Borrower mutually agree as to the PIK Note Conversion Amount. Upon the Borrower's delivery to Agent of
amended and restated term notes(s) increased by the amount of such conversion or a new term note(s) in the amount of such conversion under this Section 2.8 and duly executed by Borrower, such
conversion shall be deemed effective. Any amounts so converted shall be allocated to the Term Loans on a pro rata basis. If Agent has not received such notice at the expiration of thirty
(30) days after the end of such fiscal quarter, Borrower will not be able to elect to convert the Convertible Junior PIK Notes into Term Loans for such quarter.

accrued and not been paid in cash from the Closing Date through the end of such accrual period on such Convertible Junior PIK Notes, exceeds the product of the "issue price" (as defined for purposes
of the Code) for such Convertible Junior PIK Notes and the "yield to maturity" (as defined for purposes of the Code) on such Convertible Junior PIK Notes. 

3.2    Scheduled Repayment of the Loans.    

        The
Borrower covenants and agrees to repay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the respective Lenders, the unpaid principal balance of the Loans in full, together with all accrued

(the "First Tranche of Term Loans")

	(ii)
	Prepayment on the Second Tranche of Term Loans. A prepayment fee shall be due and payable on the aggregate principal
amount of the Term Loans prepaid in excess of the amount of the First Tranche of Term Loans, but only in respect of the amount of such excess equal to or less $30,000,000 (the
"Second Tranche of Term Loans"), multiplied by the following percentage (if applicable) as set forth below:

	 	Percentage
	 
	2008	 	2	%
	2009	 	1	%

that no prepayment fee shall be due and payable under this subsection (iii) if such prepayment is made with the proceeds of a
Qualified Public Offering. 

27

 

	(iv)
	Prepayment on the Convertible Junior PIK Notes. A prepayment fee shall be due and payable on the aggregate principal
amount of the Convertible Junior PIK Notes equal to the principal amount so prepaid multiplied by the following percentage:

proceeds if a Qualified Public Offering or pursuant to (B) (1) Section 3.5(a)(iv) or (2) Section 2.8; 

provided,
further, that, the Borrower shall have the option, upon one occasion only, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Third Tranche of Term Loans while the Second Tranche of Term
Loans is outstanding and all other prepayments shall first reduce the aggregate principal amount of the First Tranche of Term Loans in full before being applied to the Second Tranche of Term Loans or
the Third Tranche of Term Loans, as the case may be. 

        Any
amounts converted from Convertible PIK Notes to Term Loans and prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be considered in the Third Tranche of Term Loans and such prepayment
shall be subject to the prepayment fee as set forth in this Section 3.3(a)(iii). 

        All
such prepayments shall be applied by the Agent in the manner set forth in Section 3.9. Notwithstanding Sections 3.5(a) and  (b) below, if any mandatory
prepayment occurs during the continuance of a Major Event of Default or results in or causes a Major Event of Default, then
the provisions of Section 10.3 shall apply. 

        (b)    Optional Junior PIK Excess Cash Payment.

Borrower may elect to prepay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the respective Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Junior PIK Notes, in whole or in part in

3.5    Mandatory Prepayment.    

        (a)   The
Borrower shall (x) prepay the Term Loans and the Convertible Junior PIK Notes until paid in full and (y) thereafter repay Advances under the Revolving
Facility, at the following times and in the following amounts: 

	(i)
	Within
five (5) Business Days of the receipt by any Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition, in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds (it
being understood that amounts being held for application pursuant to the provisions of clause (v) of paragraph (a) of the definition of the term "Net Cash Proceeds" shall not be required
to be used to make any prepayment hereunder unless such Net Cash Proceeds are not so applied within the period described in such clause (v));

	(ii)
	Within
five (5) Business Days of the receipt by any Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of its equity securities (other than as a result of any

	(iii)
	Within

entitled to retain and apply to costs, expenses and compensation paid to or in connection with the recruitment and hiring of a replacement chief executive officer), in an amount equal to such net
proceeds; and

	(iv)
	Within
fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the annual financial statements pursuant to Section 7.1(e)(i) (but in no event more than

(the "Mandatory Excess Cash Payment") minus (B) the aggregate Optional PIK Excess Cash Payments, if any, made pursuant to Section 3.3(b)
for such period, minus (C) the proceeds of a Public Offering by Parent. 

        (b)   Advances

any time does not exceed the Revolving Facility Commitment. 

        (c)   Any
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.9 as if such prepayment were an optional prepayment,  provided that any prepayment pursuant to
Section 3.5(a)(i) (solely with respect to Net Cash Proceeds from insurance proceeds not

29

  

3.6    Home Office Payment.    

        The
Borrower will pay all sums becoming due on such Loan for principal, premium, if any, and interest to the Agent by the method and at the address specified for such purpose in  Annex A attached hereto, or
by such other method or at such other address as the Lenders shall have from time to time specified to the Borrower in
writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of any Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Borrower made concurrently with or reasonably
promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Loan, each Lender shall surrender the Note, if any, for cancellation, reasonably promptly after such request, to the Borrower at its principal
executive office. 

3.7    Taxes.    

        (a)   Any
and all payments by the Loan Parties hereunder or under the Loans or other Transaction Documents that are made to or for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and penalties, interests and all other liabilities
with respect thereto (collectively, "Taxes"), excluding Taxes imposed on the Agent's or the Lenders' net income or capital and franchise taxes imposed
on any of them by the jurisdiction under the Laws of which any of them is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as
"Covered Taxes"). If any of the Loan Parties shall be required by law to deduct any Covered Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or
under any Loan or Transaction Document to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, or to the Lenders, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required
deductions of Covered Taxes (including deductions of Covered Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph), each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made. The Loan Parties shall make such deductions and the Loan Parties shall pay the full amount so deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Law. In addition, the Loan Parties agree to pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, privilege, intangible or similar levies that arise at any time or from time to time from
any payment made under any and all Transaction Documents or from the execution or delivery by the Loan Parties or from the filing or recording or maintenance of, or otherwise with respect to the
exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of their respective rights under any and all Transaction Documents (collectively, "Other Taxes"). Subject to
Section 3.7(c) below, the Loan Parties will indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for the full amount of Covered Taxes imposed on or with respect to amounts payable hereunder and Other Taxes, and
any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Payment of this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the
Agent or the Lenders provide the Borrower with a certificate certifying and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof as to the amount and type of such Taxes. The Borrower shall have
the right to receive that portion of any refund of any Taxes and Other Taxes received by a Lender for which the Borrower has previously paid any additional amount or indemnified such Lender and which
leaves the Lender, after the Borrower's receipt thereof, in no better or worse financial position than if no such Taxes or Other Taxes had been imposed or additional amounts or indemnification paid to
the Lender and, at the request of the Borrower, each Lender shall make a claim for any refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes. Any such certificates submitted by the Agent or the Lenders in good faith to
the Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all parties. The obligation of the Loan Parties under this Section 3.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and
the termination of this Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after the Loan Parties having received a receipt for payment of Covered Taxes and/or Other Taxes, the Loan Parties shall furnish to
the Agent, the original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. 

        (b)   Each
Lender that (i) is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and
(ii)(A) is a party hereto on the Closing Date or (B) becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement under Section 6.1 after 

30

 

the
Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Agent one or more (as the Borrower or the
Agent may reasonably request) Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the United States
Internal Revenue Service certifying as to such Lender's entitlement to exemption from withholding or deduction of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender
pursuant to this Section 3.7 to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph. 

        (c)   To
the extent such lending office already acts as the designated lending office for such Lender with other borrowers, each Lender shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to change its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office to avoid the imposition of any withholding tax subject to this Section 3.7. The Borrower shall not be
required to indemnify any Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Lender, in respect of withholding tax to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to such
withholding tax existed on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement or, with respect to payments to a new designated lending office, the date such Lender designated such new lending
office with respect to the Loans, or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of
paragraph (b) above or (iii) such Lender is treated as a "conduit entity" within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.881-3 or any successor provision. 

3.8    Break Fund Payments.    

        In
the event of the payment of any principal of any Loan other than on the date such payment was scheduled pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof or the due date for mandatory prepayments
pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof (including payments as a result of an Event of Default), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement
setting forth the basis for the amount being claimed, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Agent), for the net loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (including any net loss, cost or
expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds of such Lender). 

3.9    Priority of Payment.    

        (a)   All
payments received pursuant to Sections 3.3, 3.4 or  3.5 shall be applied by the Agent in the following
manner: 

First,
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the
Transaction Documents, including all court costs (whether at trial, appellate or administrative levels) of the Agent and its agents, representatives, and attorneys incurred in connection with the sale
or with the retaking, holding, handling, preparing for sale (or other disposition) of the Collateral and all other fees and expenses incurred by the Agent for which it is entitled to payment or
reimbursement pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof or pursuant to any other Transaction Document; 

Second,
all fees and expenses for which the Lenders are entitled to payment or reimbursement pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.8 and/or 11.4 hereof or pursuant to any other Transaction
Document (including under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement and Currency Hedging Agreement owing to any Lender); 

Third,
any prepayment premium that would be applicable in connection with the Notes pro rata if such payment were a voluntary prepayment under Section 3.3; 

Fourth,
principal outstanding under the Revolving Facility and all accrued and unpaid interest due and owing to the Lenders pro rata; 

31

 

Fifth,
all principal outstanding under the Term Notes pro rata; 

Sixth,
to all principal outstanding under the Convertible Junior PIK Notes pro rata; and 

Seventh,
all other obligations owing to the Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Borrower elects to prepay the Convertible Junior PIK Notes as set forth in Section 3.3(b) hereof, such payments shall be applied
by the Agent in the following manner: 

First,
to all accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Junior PIK Notes due and owing to the Lenders; and 

Second,
to principal outstanding under the Convertible Junior PIK Notes. 

3.10    Maximum Lawful Rate.    

        This
Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents are hereby limited by this Section 3.10. In no event, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of the
amounts due hereunder or otherwise, shall interest and fees contracted for, charged, received, paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under such applicable Law.
If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest and fees would otherwise be payable to the Agent or the Lenders in excess of the maximum amount permissible under applicable Law, the interest and fees
shall at any time be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable Law. If from any circumstance, the Agent or the Lenders shall have received anything of value deemed interest by
applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excess of interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the Loans, in such manner as may be
determined by the Agent, and not to the payment of fees or interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of the principal amount of the Loans, such excess shall be refunded to the
Loan Parties. 

3.11    Capital Adequacy/Increased Cost.    

        If,
after the date hereof, either the introduction of or any change of the interpretation of any Law or the compliance by any Lender with any guideline or request from any Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital or assets of any Lender, or increasing the costs of such Lender, in either
case as a consequence of, as determined by the Agent or any Lender in its sole discretion, the existence of any Lender's obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, then, upon
demand by such Lender, in reasonable detail setting forth the aggregate amount of such additional amounts and the basis therefor, the Borrower within five (5) Business Days of such demand shall
pay to such Lender, from the time not earlier than 90 days prior to the date of such demand as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of such
circumstances. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.11 shall survive the payments of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement. 

3.12    Certain Waivers.    

        Except
as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Borrower unconditionally waives (a) any rights to presentment, demand, protest or (except as expressly required hereby)
notice of any kind, and (b) any rights of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment of the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that the Borrower may have or claim
against any Lender, the Agent or any prior Lender or Agent, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender, the Agent or such prior Lender or Agent.

3.13    Payments.    

        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Borrower timely sent required payments hereunder to the appropriate bank account designated by Agent (in accordance
with the terms hereof) using the appropriate wiring instructions designated by Agent (in accordance with the terms hereof) and through no fault of the Borrower such payments are not credited to such
account within the time period set forth herein, no payment default shall have occurred so long as documentation reasonably acceptable to Agent of the above facts are promptly provided to Agent upon
Agent's request. 

3.14    Letter of Credit Fees.    

        The
Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the respective Lenders with commitments to make Advances, a Letter of Credit participation fee monthly in arrears on the
first (1st) Business Day of each month, commencing July 1, 2007, in an amount equal to one and three-quarters percent (1.75%) hereof, applied on a per annum basis to the average outstanding
Letter of Credit Liabilities during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof). Such Letter of Credit participation fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a
year of three hundred sixty (360) days. In addition, with respect to each Letter of Credit, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender, for its own account, such fees and expenses as the
Issuing Lender customarily requires (or, as the case may be, is required to pay to the issuer of any letter of credit) in connection with the issuance, negotiation, processing and/or administration of
letters of credit in similar situations.

ARTICLE V    
    
    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

        As
a material inducement to the Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and make the Loans contemplated hereunder, each of Parent and the Borrower hereby represents and
warrants to the Agent and the Lenders as follows (each such representation and warranty being made after giving effect to the consummation of the Recapitalization Transactions): 

        (a)    Organization and Power.    Each of the Loan Parties is a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability
company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation. Each of the Loan Parties has all requisite corporate or other organizational power and
authority and all material licenses, permits, approvals and authorizations necessary to own and operate its properties, to carry on its businesses as now conducted and to carry out the Transactions,
and is qualified to do business in the jurisdictions listed on the "Organizational Schedule" attached hereto as  Schedule 5.1(a), which includes every
jurisdiction where the failure to so qualify might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Each of the Loan Parties has its principal place of business as set forth on the "Organizational Schedule". The copies of the Charter Documents
and Organization Documents of the Loan Parties that have been furnished to the Agent reflect all amendments made thereto at any time prior to the date of this Agreement and are correct and complete.

Statements") and copies of their unaudited consolidated monthly financial statements for and as of the four months ended April 30, 2007 (the
"Interim Statements" and, collectively with the Annual Statements, the "Financial Statements"). The
Financial Statements fairly represent in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Loan Parties as of their dates and the results of operations for the fiscal periods then
ended and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied subject to adjustments as described in the report of Ernst & Young, LLP, and further subject, in the case of the
Interim Statements, to normal year-end adjustments and absence of footnote disclosure.

	Financial Projections. The Borrower has delivered to the Agent consolidated financial projections of the Loan Parties
for the period ending December 31, 2006 through

represent a reasonable good faith estimate of possible results in light of the history of the Business and the Loan Parties, present and foreseeable conditions and the intentions of the Borrower's
management, however, actual results will undoubtedly vary. 

	(iii)
	Accuracy of Financial Statements. As of the Closing Date, the Loan Parties do not have any material liabilities,
contingent or otherwise, or forward or long-term commitments that are not disclosed in the Financial Statements or, in the case of Financial Statements that have notes, in the notes

and the number and ownership of all outstanding Capital Stock of each Loan Party is as set forth on the Organizational Schedule. As of the Closing Date,
none of the Loan Parties will be subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of its Capital Stock, except as set forth herein, in the

issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Based on the representations and warranties given by the holders of Capital Stock of the Loan Parties on or prior to the date hereof, none of the Loan Parties has
violated, in any material respect, any applicable federal or state securities Laws in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of any of its Capital Stock other than as described on the  Organizational

to the voting or transfer of Parent's Capital Stock. 

        (e)    Subsidiaries.    Except as set forth on the Organizational

        (f)    Authorization; No Breach.    The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which each Loan Party is a party, and the consummation of the Transactions and the Recapitalization Transactions have been duly authorized by each of the Loan Parties. The

result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the Loan Parties' Capital Stock or assets pursuant to, (iv) give any third party the right to accelerate any obligation under, (v) result
in a violation of, or (vi) except for filings in connection with the perfection of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents, require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption

instrument, contract, order, judgment, writ, injunction or decree to which any of the Loan Parties is a party or to which they or their assets are subject, the breach or violation of which would be

    ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS; LOST NOTES; REPLACEMENT OF LENDERS    
    

6.1    Assignments.    

        (a)   Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignee (any such Person, an "Assignee") all or any portion of
such Lender's loans and commitments hereunder, with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to
a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee);  provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Lender will provide at least ten
(10) Business Days' prior written notice of its intent to assign all or any portion of its Loans to Borrower and such notice shall contain a list of proposed assignees;  provided, further, so long as no Significant Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall approve of or
reject (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a
Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee) each such proposed assignee for such proposed assignment prior to the expiration of the ten
(10) Business Day period beginning upon Borrower's receipt of such notice of the proposed assignment and such assigning Lender shall only negotiate with the proposed assignees approved of by
Borrower (in accordance with this Section) or with proposed assignees suggested by Borrower during such ten (10) Business Day period). Except as the Agent may otherwise agree, any such
assignment (other than any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee)
shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire commitment or the principal amount of the loan being assigned. The Borrower and the Agent shall be entitled to
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until the Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto (an "Assignment Agreement") executed,
delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500 to be paid by the Lender to whom such interest is assigned;  provided that (x) no such fee shall be
payable in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a
Lender and (y) no Assignment Agreement shall be required in connection with assignments by ACAS or any of its Affiliates to ACAS or any of its Affiliates. No assignment may be made to any
Person if at the time of such assignment the Borrower would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 3 to the Assignee than the Borrower is then obligated to pay to the assigning
Lender under such Section (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to pay such greater amounts). Any attempted assignment not made in accordance
with this Section 6.1 shall be treated as the sale of a participation hereunder. The Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder
unless the Borrower has expressly objected to such assignment within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof. 

        (b)   From
and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and,
to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and
(ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its
indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the reasonable request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to the Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) Notes in the principal amount of the Assignee's pro rata share of the Revolving Facility
Commitment and the principal amount of the 

42

 

Assignee's
pro rata share of each term loan (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of the pro rata share of the Revolving Facility Commitment and each Term Loan retained by the assigning
Lender) and the applicable assigning Lender shall deliver the Notes so assigned to the Borrower for cancellation within ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of such assignment. 

        (c)   The
Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment Agreement
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amount of the loans owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms
hereof. The entries in such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior
notice to the Agent. Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan shall be registered on such register only upon delivery of a duly executed Assignment Agreement. 

        (d)   The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1 concerning assignments of Loans relate only to absolute assignments.
In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 6.1, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its
Notes, if any, (A) to any Federal Reserve Bank or (B) to a trustee for the benefit of a Lender's investors or to another representative of a financing party for the assigning Lender. 

6.2    Participations.    

        Any
Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, commitments and other interests hereunder (any such Person, a
"Participant") with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required for a
participation by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee);  provided,
however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Lender will provide at least ten
(10) Business Days' prior written notice of its intent to sell a participation to Borrower and such notice shall contain a list of proposed Participants;  provided, further, so long as no Significant Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall approve or
reject (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be required for a participation by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of
a Lender or a Person described in clause (A)(v) of the definition of Eligible Assignee) each such proposed Participant for such proposed participation prior to the expiration of the ten
(10) Business Day period beginning upon Borrower's receipt of such notice of the proposed participation and such selling Lender shall only negotiate with the proposed Participants approved by
Borrower (in accordance with this Section) or with proposed Participants suggested by Borrower during such ten (10) Business Day period);  provided, further, that the conditions of Section 6.1(a) are satisfied. In the event of a sale by
a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Lender's obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations hereunder and (iii) all amounts payable by the Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights with respect to its participating interest hereunder except
with respect to any event described in Section 9.11 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the
requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are
due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
this Agreement; provided

43

 

that
such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits, and subject to the obligations, of Section 3 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater
compensation pursuant to Section 3 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold). 

6.3    Replacement of Lost Notes.    

        Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower of the mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of any Note and the ownership thereof, the Borrower shall, upon the written
request of the holder of such Note, execute and deliver in replacement thereof a new Note in the same form, in the same original principal amount and dated the same date as the Note so mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen; and such Note so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder. If the Note being replaced has been mutilated, it shall be
surrendered to the Borrower; and if such replaced Note has been destroyed, lost or stolen, such holder shall furnish the Borrower with an indemnity in writing to save it harmless in respect of such
replaced Note. 

6.4    Replacement of Lenders.    

        If
(i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender or Participant pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.11 or (ii) any Lender does not consent to
any matter requiring its consent under Section 9.11 when the Required Lenders have otherwise consented to such matter or (iii) any Lender with a Revolving Facility Commitment defaults in
its obligation to make Advances under Section 2.3, then the Borrower may within one hundred twenty (120) days thereafter either prepay any Loans then held by such Lender (or by a Lender
for such Participant), or designate another Person which is acceptable to the Agent in its reasonable discretion (such other bank being called a "Replacement
Lender") to purchase the Loans of such Lender and such Lender's rights hereunder and such Lender or Participant agrees to sell such Loans and rights hereunder to such
Replacement Lender, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued
but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations and
commitments of such Lender hereunder, and, upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), such Lender or Participant shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights
hereunder or with respect hereto (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved
from all obligations to the Borrower hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder.

Concurrently
with the closing of each Permitted Acquisition, each EBITDA level set forth above shall be increased by 85% of Pro Forma EBITDA of the Target of such Permitted Acquisition for the
12 months preceding the date of consummation of such Permitted Acquisition; provided, that for the first 12 months after the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition, the EBITDA levels

may be carried forward, but may be expended only in the immediately succeeding Fiscal Year. Any amount so carried forward shall be deemed made hereunder following utilization of all allowed amounts
(without regard to such rollover) for Capital Expenditures in such immediately succeeding Fiscal Year.

applicable Loan Party is fully insured or the deductible or retention limit does not exceed $250,000 and with respect to which the insurer has assumed responsibility in writing), shall have been
entered against any Loan Party if, within thirty (30) days after the entry thereof, such judgment shall not have been discharged or execution thereof stayed pending appeal, or if, within thirty
(30) days after the expiration of any such stay, such judgment shall not have been discharged; 

        (k)   any

or omission by the Agent of the Lenders) to be in full force and effect or shall cease to create perfected security interests in favor of the Agent in the collateral in excess of 10% of the book value

ARTICLE IX    
    
    AGENT    
    

9.1    Authorization and Action.    

        Each
Lender hereby designates and appoints ACFS as the Agent hereunder and authorizes ACFS to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities,
except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the
Agent shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist for the Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Agent shall act solely as agent for the Lenders and does not assume, nor
shall be deemed to have assumed, any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Loan Parties or any of their respective successors or assigns. The Agent shall not be required to
take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Laws. The appointment and authority of the Agent hereunder shall terminate at the
indefeasible payment in full of the Loans and obligations hereunder. 

9.2    Delegation of Duties.    

        The
Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care. 

9.3    Exculpatory Provisions.    

        Neither
the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (a) liable to any of the Lenders for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or
them under or in connection with this Agreement and any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct or, in the case of the Agent, the
breach of its obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, unless such action was taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders
or the Required PIK Note Lenders), or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Loan Parties contained in this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document, for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in
connection herewith, or for any failure of any of the Loan Parties to perform their respective obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction (or lack thereof) of any condition specified in
Article IV. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or
conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any of the Loan Parties. 

9.4    Reliance.    

        The
Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith unless it shall first
receive such direction, 

63

 

advice
or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or the Required PIK Note Lenders, as applicable), as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders;  provided that
unless and until the Agent shall have received such direction, advice or concurrence, the Agent may take or refrain from taking any
action, as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a
request of the Required Lenders, the Required PIK Note Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all
Lenders. 

9.5    Non-Reliance on the Agent and Other Lenders.    

        Each
Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent or hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to the Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the
Loan Parties and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement. 

9.6    No Liability of Lenders.    

        The
Lenders shall have no liability to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other entity as a result of any actions or failures to act by the Agent hereunder or otherwise. 

9.7    The Agent in its Individual Capacity.    

        The
Agent, and each of its Affiliates may make loans to, purchase securities from, provide services to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan
Parties or any Affiliate of the Loan Parties as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. 

9.8    Successor Agent.    

        The
Agent may, upon thirty (30) days' notice to the Borrower and each Lender, and the Agent will, upon the direction of the Required Lenders (other than the Agent, in its
individual capacity), resign as the Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders during such thirty (30) day period shall appoint a successor the Agent (with the consent of
Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and if the Required Lenders direct the Agent to resign, such direction shall include an appointment of a successor
the Agent (with the consent of Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If for any reason no successor the Agent is appointed by the Required Lenders during
such thirty (30) day period, then effective upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Borrower shall
make all payments in respect of the Loans and obligations hereunder directly to the applicable Lenders and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders. After any retiring the Agent's
resignation or removal hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ACFS agrees to remain the Agent under this Agreement until ACAS no longer owns any portion of the Loans or Notes. 

9.9    Collections and Disbursements.    

        (a)   The
Agent will have the right to collect and receive all payments of the Loans and obligations hereunder, and to collect and receive all reimbursements due hereunder,
together with all fees, charges or other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with regard to the Loans and obligations hereunder, and the Agent will remit to each
Lender, according to its pro rata 

64

 

percentage
of the applicable Loans and obligations hereunder as set forth on Annex A attached hereto, all such payments actually received by the Agent
(other fees due and owing to the Agent pursuant to the Fee Letter and the fees and expenses of the Agent payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.4 hereof) in accordance with the
settlement procedures established by the Agent from time to time. Settlements shall occur on such dates as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion, but which shall be no later than two
(2) Business Days following receipt thereof. 

        (b)   If
any such payment received by the Agent is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned for any reason at any time, whether before or after termination of this
Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, each Lender will, upon written notice from the Agent, promptly pay over to the Agent its pro rata percentage of the amounts so rescinded or returned,
together with interest and other fees thereon so rescinded or returned. 

        (c)   All
payments by the Agent and the Lenders to each other hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. The Agent will at all times maintain proper books of accounts
and records reflecting the interest of each Lender in the Loans and obligations hereunder, in a manner customary to the Agent's keeping of such records, which books and records shall be available for
inspection by each Lender at reasonable times during normal business hours, at such Lender's sole expense. The Agent may treat the payees of any Loan as the holder thereof until written notice of the
transfer thereof shall have been received by the Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof. In the event that any Lender shall receive any payment on account of any Loans or obligations hereunder
in an amount greater than its applicable pro rata percentage of all amounts received by all Lenders in respect of such class of Loans and obligations hereunder (including amounts obtained by reason of
setoffs) such Lender shall hold such excess in trust for the Agent (on behalf of all other Lenders) and shall promptly remit to the Agent such excess amount so that the amounts received by each Lender
in respect of such class of Loans and obligations hereunder shall at all times be in accordance with its applicable pro rata percentage. If, however, any Lender that has received any such excess
amount fails to remit such amount to the Agent, the Agent shall reallocate the amounts paid on future payment dates to each Lender so that, after giving effect to such payments, the pro rata
obligations owed by the Loan Parties to each Lender shall be in an amount equal to the pro rata amount owed by the Loan Parties before the date of the payment of such excess amount. In no event shall
any Lender be deemed to have a participation or other right in, to or against any other Lender's Loan as a result of the payment of any excess amount. 

9.10    Reporting.    

        During
the term of this Agreement, the Agent will promptly furnish each Lender with copies of all notices and financial statements of the Loan Parties required to be delivered or
obtained hereunder and such other financial statements and reports and other information in the Agent's possession as any Lender may reasonably request. The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders when
it receives actual notice of any Event of Default under the Transaction Documents. 

9.11    Consent of Lenders.    

        (a)   Except
as expressly provided herein, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to service, administer and monitor this Agreement, the Loans and the other
Transaction Documents, including the right to exercise all rights, remedies, privileges and options under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Lender shall make its own investment decision with regard to this Agreement and the Loans, including the credit judgment with respect to the making of Loans and the determination as to the basis on
which and extent to which Loans may be made. 

        (b)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.11(a) above, the Agent shall not without the prior written consent of all the Lenders then holding
Loans and obligations hereunder: 

65

 

(i) extend
any payment date or reduce the amount of any payment due hereunder, including any interest, principal or fees (other than fees owing solely to the Agent), (ii) reduce any
interest rate applicable to any of the Loans hereunder or any fee payable to the Lenders hereunder, (iii) waive any Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (iv) compromise or
settle all or a portion of the Loans hereunder, (v) release any obligor from any of the obligations hereunder except in connection with full payment and satisfaction of all such obligations or
release all or substantially all of the Collateral, (vi) increase any Loan or commitment hereunder, (vii) amend the definition of the Required Lenders, or (viii) amend this
Section 9.11(b). 

        (c)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.11(a) above, and subject to any applicable limitation set forth in Section 9.11(b) above,
the Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders: (i) waive any Event of Default; (ii) consent to any Loan Parties' taking any action that, if taken, would
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement or under any of the other Transaction Documents; or (iii) amend or modify or agree to an amendment or modification of this Agreement or other
Transaction Documents. 

        (d)   After
an acceleration of any obligations hereunder, the Agent shall, upon written instruction from the Required Lenders, exercise or refrain from exercising any and all
rights, remedies, privileges and options under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or available at law or in equity to protect the rights of the Agent and the Lenders and collect the
Loans hereunder, including instituting and pursuing all legal actions against any Loan Party or to collect such loans, defending any and all actions brought by any Loan Party or other Person, and
incurring expenses or otherwise making expenditures to protect the collateral securing the obligations hereunder, the Loans or the Agent's or any Lender's rights or remedies under any Transaction
Document or applicable Law. 

        (e)   The
Agent shall not increase any Lender's portion of the Revolving Facility Commitment without the prior written consent of such Lender. 

9.12    Indemnification.    

        Whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand the Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent
not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), based on such Lender's pro rata share of the outstanding Loans and commitments, from and
against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including legal costs, except to the extent any thereof result from the applicable Person's own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of
any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including legal costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification,

possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held
to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating any other
provision of this Agreement. 

11.12    Headings.    

        Article,
section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. 

11.13    Indemnity.    

        Parent
and the Borrower hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent and the Lenders, their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, partners, subsidiaries and representatives, and their respective successors and assigns (an "Indemnified Person") in connection with any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, to which any such Person may become subject (other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
any Indemnified Person), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or by reason of any misrepresentation in any representation or
warranty of or by, or investigation, litigation or other proceedings related to or resulting from any act of, or omission by, the Loan Parties or Sponsor or any officer, director, employee, agent or
representative of the Loan Parties or Sponsor with respect to the Transactions, the Notes, the Transaction Documents, Charter Documents, the Organization Documents or any other agreements entered into
in connection with any such agreements, instruments or documents and to reimburse each Indemnified Person, upon demand, for any reasonable legal or other reasonable expenses incurred in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. To the extent that the foregoing undertakings may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower agrees to
make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of indemnified liabilities set forth in this Section 11.13 that is permissible under applicable Law. This indemnity and agreement
to defend and hold harmless shall survive any termination or satisfaction of the Loans and other obligations hereunder or the sale, assignment or foreclosure thereof or the sale, transfer or
conveyance of all or part of the past and present properties and facilities or any other circumstances
that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable release or discharge, in whole or in part, of the Borrower hereunder. 

11.14    Environmental Indemnity.    

        The
Borrower hereby releases and discharges, and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, the Agent and the Lenders and their Affiliates and each of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, partners, subsidiaries, customers, guests, invitees and representatives, and their respective successors and assigns (an "Environmental
Indemnified Person") from and against any and all Environmental Liabilities, whenever and by whomever asserted, to the extent that such Environmental Liabilities are based
upon, or otherwise relate to: (a) any Condition at any time in, at, on, under, a part of, involving or otherwise related to the Properties and Facilities (including any of the properties,
materials, articles, products, or other things included in or otherwise a part of the Properties and Facilities); (b) any action or failure to act of any Person, including any prior owner or
operator of the Properties and Facilities (including any of the properties, materials, articles, products, or other things included in or otherwise a part of the Properties and Facilities), involving
or otherwise related to the Properties and Facilities or operations of the Loan Parties; (c) the Management of any Pollutant, material, article or product (including Management of any material,
article or product containing a Pollutant) in any physical state and at any time, involving or otherwise related to the Properties and 

76

 

Facilities
or any property covered by clause (d) (including Management either from the Properties and Facilities or from any property covered by clause (d), and Management to, at,
involving or otherwise related to the Properties and Facilities or any property covered by clause (d)); (d) Conditions, and actions or failures to act, in, at, on, under, a part of,
involving or otherwise related to any property other than the Properties and Facilities, which property was, at or prior to the Closing Date, (i) acquired, held, sold, owned, operated, leased,
managed, or divested by, or otherwise associated with, (A) the Loan Parties, (B) any of the Loan Parties' Affiliates, or (C) any predecessor or successor organization of those
identified in (A) or (B); or (ii) engaged in any tolling, contract manufacturing or processing, or other similar activities for, with, or on behalf of the Loan Parties; (e) any
violation of or noncompliance with or the assertion of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) under the Environmental Laws, (f) the presence of any Pollutants on, at or from the past and present
Properties and Facilities, including human exposure thereto; (g) any Release affecting the past and present Properties and Facilities, whether or not the same originates or emanates from such
Properties and Facilities or any contiguous real estate, including any loss of value of such Properties and Facilities as a result thereof; or (h) a misrepresentation in any representation or
warranty or breach of or failure to perform any covenant made by the Loan Parties in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. This indemnity and agreement to defend and hold harmless shall
survive any termination or satisfaction of the Loans and other obligations hereunder or the sale, assignment or foreclosure thereof or the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or part of the past and
present Properties and Facilities or any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable release or discharge, in whole or in part, of the Borrower hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if and to the extent that any Environmental Liabilities are directly caused as a result of an Environmental Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct, such
Environmental Indemnified Person and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to the indemnity provided above. 

11.15    Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.    

        Neither
the Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the
obligations hereunder. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Agent or any Lender, or the Agent or any Lender enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of
set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in
connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation hereunder or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay
to the Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent to the extent paid to such Lender. 

11.16    Nonliability of Lenders.    

        The
relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and the Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall
have any fiduciary responsibility to the Borrower. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any
phase of the Borrower's business or operations. Execution of this Agreement by Parent and the Borrower constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which such parties may
have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Neither the
Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Parent and the Borrower hereby 

77

 

waive,
release and agree not to sue for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages or liabilities. 

11.17    Counterparts.    

        This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by either party hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but
all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Any such counterpart may be delivered by facsimile, email or similar electronic transmission and shall be deemed the
equivalent of an originally signed counterpart and shall be fully admissible in any enforcement proceedings regarding this Agreement. 

11.18    Integration.    

        This
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents set forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to all matters contemplated hereby and supersede all previous
agreements and understandings among them concerning such matters. No statements or agreements, oral or written, made prior to or at the signing hereof, shall vary, waive or modify the written terms
hereof. 

11.19    Confidentiality.    

        Each
of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Agent, any other
Lender or any Affiliate of any thereof that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section, (b) to any Assignee or Participant or any prospective Assignee or Participant that agrees to
comply with the provisions of this Section, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors on a need-to-know
basis that agree to comply with the provisions of this Section, (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty to a Currency Hedging Agreement or an
