LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT is made as of this 6th day of November, 2007, by and among
RBS BUSINESS CAPITAL, a division of RBS Asset Finance, Inc., a New York corporation (“RBS”) with an
office at 71 South Wacker Drive, Suite 2800, Chicago, Illinois 60606, individually as a Lender and
as Agent (“Agent”) for itself and any other financial institution which is or becomes a party
hereto (each such financial institution, including RBS, is referred to hereinafter individually as
a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders”), the Lenders and REWARDS NETWORK INC., a Delaware
corporation (“RNI”), with its chief executive office and principal place of business at Two North
Riverside Plaza, Suite 950, Chicago, Illinois 60606 and each domestic subsidiary of RNI signatory
hereto (RNI and each such subsidiary are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a
“Borrower” and collectively as “Borrowers”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the
meanings assigned to them in Appendix A, General Definitions. Accounting terms not otherwise
specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

SECTION 1. CREDIT FACILITY

Subject to the terms and conditions of, and in reliance upon the representations and
warranties made in, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lenders agree to make a Total
Credit Facility of up to $25,000,000 available upon Borrowers’ request therefor, as follows:

1.1 Loans.

1.1.1 Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, for so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers from
time to time during the period from the date hereof to but not including the last day of the Term,
as requested by Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers in
the manner set forth in subsection 3.1.1 hereof, up to a maximum principal amount at any time
outstanding equal to the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment minus the
product of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage and the LC Amount minus the product of
such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage and reserves, if any and (ii) the product of such Lender’s
Revolving Loan Percentage and an amount equal to the Borrowing Base at such time minus the
LC Amount minus reserves, if any. Agent shall have the right to establish reserves in such
amounts, and with respect to such matters, as Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate
in Agent’s Judgment exercised in good faith, against the amount of Revolving Credit Loans which
Borrowers may otherwise request under this subsection 1.1.1 including, without limitation, with
respect to (i) price adjustments, damages, unearned discounts, returned products or other matters
for which credit memoranda are issued in the ordinary course of any Borrower’s business;
(ii) potential dilution related to Accounts; (iii) other sums chargeable against Borrowers’ Loan
Account as Revolving Credit Loans under any section of this Agreement; (iv) amounts owing by any
Borrower to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any Property of Borrower;
(v) amounts owing by any Borrower in connection with Product Obligations; and (vi) such other
specific events, conditions or contingencies as to which Agent, in Agent’s Judgment exercised in
good faith, determines reserves should be established from time to time hereunder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Agent shall not establish any reserves in respect of any 

 

 

 

matters relating to any items of
Collateral that have been taken into account in determining Eligible Accounts, Eligible Dining
Credits or Eligible RCR Loans, as applicable or any adjustments in the lending formula used in
determining the Borrowing Base. The amount of any reserve established by Agent shall have a
reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter which is the basis for such Reserve
as determined by Agent in good faith in Agent’s Judgment. In the event that Agent deems it
necessary or appropriate to establish any such reserve, to change any applicable advance rate
contained in the definition of Borrowing Base or to change the criteria for Eligible Accounts,
Eligible Dining Credits or Eligible RCR Loans, to make any adjustment to any Borrowing Base
Certificate, Lender shall give notice of such event(s) to a Responsible Officer, any such reserve,
change or adjustment shall only be effective upon notice of such item to Borrower Representative
(which notice may be telephonic or electronic). Agent shall also discuss with Borrower
Representative the reasons leading to the establishment of any such reserve, change in advance rate
or change in eligibility requirements. Further, any reserve or classification of an Account,
Dining Credit or RCR Loan as in-eligible shall not be duplicative with any reserves or similar
items accounted for by Borrowers in their preparation of the Borrowing Base Certificate. The
Revolving Credit Loans shall be repayable in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Notes and
shall be secured by all of the Collateral. Subject to the terms hereof, Revolving Credit Loans may
be borrowed, repaid without penalty or premium, except as otherwise provided in subsection 3.1.9
hereof, and reborrowed.

1.1.2 Overadvances. Insofar as Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on
behalf of all other Borrowers, may request and Agent or Majority Lenders (as provided below) may be
willing in their sole and absolute discretion to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers at a time
when the unpaid balance of Revolving Credit Loans plus the sum of the LC Amount plus the amount of
LC Obligations that have not been reimbursed by Borrowers or funded with a Revolving Credit Loan,
plus reserves, exceeds, or would exceed with the making of any such Revolving Credit Loan, the
Borrowing Base (and such Loan or Loans being herein referred to individually as an “Overadvance”
and collectively, as “Overadvances”), Agent shall enter such Overadvances as debits in the Loan
Account. All Overadvances shall be repaid on demand, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall
bear interest as provided in this Agreement for Revolving Credit Loans generally. Any Overadvance
made pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by all Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective Revolving Loan Percentages. Overadvances in the aggregate amount of $500,000 or less
may, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be made in the sole and
absolute discretion of Agent. Overadvances in an aggregate amount of more than $500,000 but less
than $1,000,000 may, unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be
made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Majority Lenders. Overadvances in an aggregate
amount of $1,000,000 or more and Overadvances to be made after the occurrence and during the
continuation of a Default or an Event of Default shall require the consent of all Lenders. The
foregoing notwithstanding, in no event, unless otherwise consented to by all Lenders, (w) shall any
Overadvances be outstanding for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, (x) after all outstanding
Overadvances have been repaid, shall Agent or Lenders make any additional Overadvances unless sixty
(60) days or more have expired since the last date on which any Overadvances were outstanding,
(y) shall Overadvances be outstanding on more than ninety (90) days within any one hundred eighty
day (180) period or (z) shall Agent make Revolving Credit Loans on behalf of Lenders under this
subsection 1.1.2 to the extent such Revolving Credit
Loans would cause a Lender’s share of the Revolving Credit Loans to exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Loan Commitment minus such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage of the LC Amount.

 

2

 

1.1.3 Use of Proceeds. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be used solely for
(i) Borrowers’ general operating capital needs in a manner consistent with the provisions of this
Agreement and all applicable laws, (ii) to make Distributions or prepayments or repurchases of
Convertible Debentures as provided in subsection 8.2.7, and (iii) other purposes permitted under
this Agreement.

1.1.4 Agent Loans. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Agent, in its sole discretion, may make Revolving Credit Loans on behalf of Lenders, in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000, if Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems
that such Revolving Credit Loans are necessary or desirable (i) to protect all or any portion of
the Collateral, (ii) to enhance the likelihood, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans
and the other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to
this Agreement, including without limitation costs, fees and expenses as described in Sections 2.8
and 2.9 (hereinafter, “Agent Loans”); provided, that in no event shall (a) the maximum
principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments and
(b) Majority Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization to make Agent Loans. Any such
revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt
thereof. Each Lender shall be obligated to advance its Revolving Loan Percentage of each Agent
Loan. If Agent Loans are made pursuant to the preceding sentence, then (a) the Borrowing Base
shall be deemed increased by the amount of such permitted Agent Loans, but only for so long as
Agent allows such Agent Loans to be outstanding, and (b) all Lenders that have committed to make
Revolving Credit Loans shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Agent Loans
based upon their Revolving Loan Percentages in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

1.2 Letters of Credit; LC Guaranties. Agent agrees, for so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists and if requested by Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on
behalf of all other Borrowers, to (i) issue its, or cause to be issued by Bank or another Affiliate
of Agent, on the date requested by Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all
other Borrowers, Letters of Credit for the account of Borrowers or (ii) execute LC Guaranties by
which Agent, Bank, or another Affiliate of Agent, on the date requested by Borrower Representative,
on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers, shall guaranty the payment or performance
by Borrowers of their reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit; provided
that the LC Amount shall not exceed $1,000,000 at any time. No Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty may
have an expiration date after the last day of the Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby agree that all LC Obligations and all
obligations of Borrowers relating thereto shall be satisfied by the prompt issuance of one or more
Revolving Credit Loans that are Prime Rate Revolving Loans, which Borrowers hereby acknowledge are
requested and Lenders hereby agree to fund. In the event that Revolving Credit Loans are not, for
any reason, promptly made to satisfy all then existing LC Obligations, each Lender hereby agrees to
pay to Agent, on demand, an amount equal to such LC Obligations multiplied by such
Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage, and until so paid, such amount shall be secured by the
Collateral and shall bear
interest and be payable at the same rate and in the same manner as Prime Rate Revolving Loans.
Immediately upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit or an LC Guaranty under this Agreement, each
Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from Agent,
without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation therein equal to such LC
Obligations multiplied by such Lender’s Revolving Loan Percentage.

SECTION 2. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

2.1 Interest.

2.1.1 Rates of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Prime
Rate Loans outstanding at the end of each day at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Margin then in effect plus the Prime Rate. Said rate of interest shall increase
or decrease by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Prime Rate, effective as of the
opening of business on the day that any such change in the Prime Rate occurs. If Borrower
Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers, exercises the LIBOR Option
as provided in Section 3.1, interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans
outstanding at the end of each day at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in
effect plus the LIBOR Lending Rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate Loans for the
corresponding Interest Period.

2.1.2 Default Rate of Interest. At the option of Agent or the Majority Lenders, upon
and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the principal
amount of all Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% plus the interest
rate otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”).

2.1.3 Maximum Interest. In no event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts
deemed interest hereunder or under the Notes and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or pursuant to the Notes exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court
of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum
Rate”). If any provisions of this Agreement or the Notes are in contravention of any such law,
such provisions shall be deemed amended to conform thereto. If at any time, the amount of interest
paid hereunder is limited by the Maximum Rate, and the amount at which interest accrues hereunder
is subsequently below the Maximum Rate, the rate at which interest accrues hereunder shall remain
at the Maximum Rate, until such time as the aggregate interest paid hereunder equals the amount of
interest that would have been paid had the Maximum Rate not applied.

2.2 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest, Letter of Credit and LC Guaranty fees
and Unused Line Fees hereunder shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number
of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

2.3 Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay to Agent certain fees and other amounts in
accordance with the terms of the fee letter between Borrowers and Agent (the “Fee Letter”).

 

4

 

2.4 Letter of Credit and LC Guaranty Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent for all
Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties of letters of credit, for the ratable benefit of Lenders a per
annum fee equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for LIBOR Revolving Loans of the
aggregate undrawn available amount of such Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties outstanding
from time to time during the term of this Agreement, plus, for the benefit of Bank, all
normal and customary charges associated with the issuance, processing and administration thereof,
which fees and charges shall be deemed fully earned upon issuance of each such Letter of Credit or
LC Guaranty or as advised by Agent or Bank, shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of
each month or as advised by Agent or Bank and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the
termination of this Agreement for any reason.

2.5 Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders, a fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to 0.25% per annum multiplied by the average daily
amount by which the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount exceeds the sum of (i) the outstanding
principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans plus (ii) the LC Amount.

2.6 Intentionally Omitted.

2.7 Audit Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent audit fees in accordance with Agent’s
current schedule of fees in effect from time to time in connection with audits of the books and
records and Properties of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and such other matters as Agent shall
deem appropriate in its reasonable credit judgment, plus all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Agent in connection with such audits; provided, that so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall not be liable for such audit fees incurred
in connection with more than four (4) such audits during any fiscal year, whether such audits are
conducted by employees of Agent or by third parties hired by Agent; provided that if there
are no outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Letters of Credit, Borrowers shall not be liable for
such audit fees incurred in connection with more than one audit during any fiscal year. Such audit
fees and out-of-pocket expenses shall be payable on the first day of the month following the date
of issuance by Agent of a request for payment thereof to Borrowers upon demand therefor by Agent
from time to time. Agent may, in its discretion, provide for the payment of such amounts by making
appropriate Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers and charging Borrowers’ Loan Account therefor.

2.8 Reimbursement of Expenses. If, at any time or times regardless of whether or not
an Event of Default then exists, (i) Agent incurs legal or accounting expenses or any other costs
or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (1) the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, any amendment of or modification of this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, or any syndication or attempted syndication of the Obligations
(including, without limitation, printing and distribution of materials to prospective Lenders and
all costs associated with bank meetings, but excluding any closing fees paid to Lenders in
connection therewith) or (2) the administration of this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; or (ii) Agent or any Lender incurs
reasonable out of pocket legal or accounting expenses or any other costs or out-of-pocket expenses
in connection with (1) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether
instituted by Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person) relating to the Collateral, this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any Borrower’s, any of its Subsidiaries’ or any
Guarantor’s affairs; (2) any attempt to enforce any rights of Agent or any Lender against any
Borrower or any other Person which may be obligated to Agent or any Lender by virtue of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the Account Debtors; or (3) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect,

 

5

 

preserve,
restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral; then all
such reasonable out-of-pocket legal and accounting expenses, other reasonable costs and out of
pocket expenses of Agent or any Lender, as applicable, shall be charged to Borrowers;
provided, that Borrowers shall not be responsible for such costs and out-of-pocket expenses
to the extent incurred because of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any
Lender. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under this Section 2.8 shall be Obligations secured by
all of the Collateral, shall be payable on demand to Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and
shall bear interest from the date such demand is made until paid in full at the rate applicable to
Prime Rate Revolving Loans from time to time. Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for expenses
incurred by Agent in its administration of the Collateral to the extent and in the manner provided
in Sections 2.9 and 2.10 hereof.

2.9 Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, on demand, any and all fees, costs or
expenses which Agent or any Lender pays to a bank or other similar institution arising out of or in
connection with (i) the forwarding to any Borrower or any other Person on behalf of any Borrower,
by Agent or any Lender, of proceeds of Loans made to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and
(ii) the depositing for collection by Agent or any Lender of any check or item of payment received
or delivered to Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations.

2.10 Collateral Protection Expenses; Appraisals. All out-of-pocket expenses incurred
in protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral,
and any and all excise, property, sales, and use taxes imposed by any state, federal, or local
authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof shall be borne and paid by
Borrowers. If Borrowers fail to promptly pay any portion thereof when due, Agent may, at its
option, but shall not be required to, pay the same and charge Borrowers therefor; provided
that the foregoing shall not prevent Borrowers from contesting any such item in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings, so long as any such contest does not materially affect Agent’s Lien on the
applicable Collateral. Additionally, from time to time, Agent may, at Borrowers’ expense, obtain
appraisals from appraisers (who may be personnel of Agent), stating the then current fair market
value or orderly liquidation value of the Dining Credits; provided that so long as no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall not be liable for fees and expenses
incurred in connection with more than one appraisal during any fiscal year. Any such appraisal
shall be conducted using the same methodology as used in the appraisal of Dining Credits conducted
by Agent (or its agents) prior to the Closing Date.

2.11 Payment of Charges. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under this Agreement
shall be Obligations secured by all of the Collateral, shall be, unless specifically otherwise
provided, payable on demand and shall bear interest from the date demand was made or such amount is
due, as applicable, until paid in full at the rate applicable to Prime Rate Revolving Loans from
time to time.

 

6

 

2.12 No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto; excluding, however, the
following: taxes imposed on the income of Agent or any Lender or franchise taxes by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which Agent or any Lender is organized or doing business or any
political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on its income by the jurisdiction of Agent’s
or such Lender’s applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof or franchise taxes
(all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with
respect thereto excluding such taxes imposed on net income, herein “Tax Liabilities”). If any
Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such Tax Liabilities from or in respect of any sum
payable hereunder to Agent or any Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may
be necessary so that, after all required deductions are made, Agent or such Lender receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

SECTION 3. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

3.1 Manner of Borrowing Revolving Credit Loans/LIBOR Option. Borrowings under the
credit facility established pursuant to Section 1 hereof shall be as follows:

3.1.1 Loan Requests; Revolving Credit Loans. A request for a Revolving Credit Loan
shall be made, or shall be deemed to be made, in the following manner: (a) Borrower
Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers, may give Agent notice of
its intention to borrow, in which notice Borrower Representative shall specify the amount of the
proposed borrowing of a Revolving Credit Loan and the proposed borrowing date, which shall be a
Business Day, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) (11:00 a.m. New York time on the last
Business Day of each month) on the proposed borrowing date (or in accordance with subsection 3.1.7,
3.1.8 or 3.1.9, as applicable, in the case of a request for a LIBOR Rate Loan), provided,
however, that no such request may be made at a time when there exists a Default or an Event
of Default; and (b) the becoming due of any amount required to be paid under this Agreement, or the
Notes, whether as interest or for any other Obligation, shall be deemed irrevocably to be a request
for a Revolving Credit Loan on the due date in the amount required to pay such interest or other
Obligation.

3.1.2 Disbursement. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to disburse the
proceeds of each Loan requested, or deemed to be requested, pursuant to subsection 3.1.1 as
follows: (i) the proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested under subsection 3.1.1(a) shall
be disbursed by Agent in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available
funds by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrowers and Agent from time
to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from Borrowers; and (ii) the proceeds of
each Revolving Credit Loan deemed requested under subsection 3.1.1(b) shall be disbursed by Agent
by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation. If at any time any Loan is
funded by Agent or Lenders in excess of the amount requested or deemed requested by Borrowers,
Borrowers agree to repay the excess to Agent promptly upon the earlier to occur of (a) any
Borrower’s discovery of the error and (b) notice thereof to Borrowers from Agent or any Lender.

 

7

 

3.1.3 Payment by Lenders. Agent shall give to each Lender prompt written notice by
facsimile, telex or cable of the receipt by Agent from Borrower Representative of any request for a
Revolving Credit Loan. Each such notice shall specify the requested date and amount of such
Revolving Credit Loan, whether such Revolving Credit Loan shall be subject to the LIBOR Option, and
the amount of each Lender’s advance thereunder (in accordance with its applicable Revolving Loan
Percentage. Each Lender shall, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York
time) on such requested date, wire to a bank designated by Agent the amount of that Lender’s
Revolving Loan Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loan. The failure of any Lender to
make the Revolving Credit Loans to be made by it shall not release any other Lender of its
obligations hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Loan. Neither Agent nor any other Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Loan to be made by
such other Lender. The foregoing notwithstanding, Agent, in its sole discretion, may from its own
funds make a Revolving Credit Loan on behalf of any Lender. In such event, the Lender on behalf of
whom Agent made the Revolving Credit Loan shall reimburse Agent for the amount of such Revolving
Credit Loan made on its behalf, on a weekly (or more frequent, as determined by Agent in its sole
discretion) basis. On each such settlement date, Agent will pay to each Lender the net amount
owing to such Lender in connection with such settlement, including without limitation amounts
relating to Loans, fees, interest and other amounts payable hereunder. The entire amount of
interest attributable to such Revolving Credit Loan for the period from the date on which such
Revolving Credit Loan was made by Agent on such Lender’s behalf until Agent is reimbursed by such
Lender, shall be paid to Agent for its own account.

3.1.4 Authorization. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, in Agent’s sole
discretion, to advance to Borrowers, and to charge to Borrowers’ Loan Account hereunder as a
Revolving Credit Loan (which shall be a Prime Rate Revolving Loan), a sum sufficient to pay all
interest accrued on the Obligations during the immediately preceding month and to pay all fees,
costs and expenses and other Obligations at any time owed by any Borrower to Agent or any Lender
hereunder.

3.1.5 Letter of Credit and LC Guaranty Requests. A request for a Letter of Credit or
LC Guaranty shall be made in the following manner: Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and
on behalf of all other Borrowers, may give Agent and Bank a written notice of its request for the
issuance of a Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) (11:00
a.m. New York time on the last Business Day of each month), one Business Day before the proposed
issuance date thereof, in which notice Borrower Representative shall specify the issuance date and
format and wording for the Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty being requested (which shall be
satisfactory to Agent and the Person being asked to issue such Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty);
provided, that no such request may be made at a time when there exists a Default or Event
of Default. Such request shall be accompanied by an executed application and reimbursement
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the Person being asked to
issue the Letter of Credit or LC Guaranty, as well as any required resolutions and other documents.

3.1.6 Method of Making Requests. As an accommodation to Borrowers, unless a Default
or an Event of Default is then in existence, (i) Agent shall permit telephonic or electronic
requests for Revolving Credit Loans to Agent, (ii) Agent and Bank may, in their discretion, permit
electronic transmittal of requests for Letters of Credit and LC Guaranties to them, and (iii) Agent
may, in Agent’s discretion, permit electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations,
agreements or reports to Agent. Unless Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of
all other Borrowers specifically directs Agent or Bank in writing not to accept or act upon
telephonic or electronic communications from any Borrower, neither Agent nor Bank shall have any
liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by any Borrower as a result of Agent’s or
Bank’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or
electronically and purporting to have been sent to Agent or Bank by any Borrower, and neither Agent
nor Bank shall have any duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the authority of the
Person sending it. Each telephonic request for a Revolving Credit Loan, Letter of Credit or LC
Guaranty accepted by Agent and Bank, if applicable, hereunder shall be promptly followed by a
written confirmation of such request from Borrower Representative to Agent and Bank, if applicable.

3.1.7 LIBOR Rate Loan Request. By delivering a borrowing request to Agent on or
before 10:00 a.m., New York time, on a Business Day, Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and
on behalf of each other Borrower, may from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than two
nor more than five Business Days’ notice, that a LIBOR Rate Loan be made in a minimum amount of
$500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000, with an Interest Period of one, two and three months.
On the terms and subject to the conditions of this agreement, each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made
available to Borrowers no later than 12:00 p.m. New York time on the first day of the applicable
Interest Period by deposit to the account of the Borrower as shall have been specified in its
borrowing request. In no event shall Borrowers be permitted to have outstanding at any one time
LIBOR Rate Loans with more than four (4) different Interest Periods.

3.1.8 Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a continuation/conversion
notice to the Bank on or before 10:00 a.m., New York time, on a Business Day, Borrowers’
Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower, may from time to time
irrevocably elect, on not less than two nor more than five Business Days’ notice, that all, or any
portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000, of any LIBOR
Rate Loan be converted on the last day of an Interest Period into a LIBOR Rate Loan with a
different Interest Period, or continued on the last day of an Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Loan
with a similar Interest Period, provided, however, that no portion of the
outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to, or continued as, LIBOR
Rate Loans when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no portion of
the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans of a
different duration if such LIBOR Rate Loans relate to any Hedging Obligations. If any Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (if Agent or Majority Lenders does not otherwise
elect to exercise any right to accelerate the Loans it is granted hereunder), or in the absence of
delivery of a continuation/conversion notice with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan at least two
Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, each
maturing LIBOR Rate Loan shall automatically be continued as a Prime Rate Loan.

3.1.9 Voluntary Prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans. LIBOR Rate Loans may be prepaid upon
the terms and conditions set forth herein. For LIBOR Rate Loans in connection with which Borrowers
have or may incur Hedging Obligations, additional obligations may be associated with prepayment, in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Hedging Contracts. Borrower
Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower, shall give Agent, no later
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least four (4) Business Days notice of any proposed
prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Loans, specifying the

 

9

 

proposed date of payment of such LIBOR Rate
Loans, and the principal amount to be paid. Each
 partial prepayment of the principal amount of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an integral
multiple of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 and accompanied by the payment of all
charges outstanding on such LIBOR Rate Loans and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to
the date of payment. Borrowers acknowledge that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Rate Loan
during an Interest Period shall result in Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses and/or
liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such
costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, all full or partial prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans
shall be accompanied by, and Borrowers hereby promise to pay, on each date a LIBOR Rate Loan is
prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or
otherwise, in addition to all other sums then owing, an amount (“LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayment Fee”)
determined by Agent pursuant to the following formula:

(a) the then current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted
basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the end of the
Interest Period as to which prepayment is made, subtracted from

(b) the LIBOR Lending Rate plus the Applicable Margin applicable to the LIBOR Rate Loan
being prepaid.

If the result of this calculation is zero or a negative number, then there shall be no LIBOR Rate
Loan Prepayment Fee. If the result of this calculation is a positive number, then the resulting
percentage shall be multiplied by:

(c) the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loan being prepaid.

The resulting amount shall be divided by:

(d) 360

and multiplied by:

(e) the number of days remaining in the Interest Period as to which the prepayment is
being made.

Said amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by using the referenced United States
Treasury securities rate and the number of days remaining on the Interest Period for the LIBOR Rate
Loan being prepaid.

The resulting amount of these calculations shall be the LIBOR Rate Loan Prepayment Fee.

3.1.10 Inability to Make LIBOR Rate Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, if any applicable law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender (for purposes of this
subsection 3.1.10, the term “Lender” shall include the office or branch where such Lender or any
corporation or bank then controlling such Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) to make
or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, or if with respect to any Interest Period, Agent is unable to
determine the LIBOR relating thereto, or adverse or unusual conditions in, or changes in applicable
law relating to, the London interbank market make it, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, impracticable to fund therein any of the LIBOR Rate Loans, or make the
projected LIBOR unreflective of the actual costs of funds therefor to any Lender, the obligation of
Agent and Lenders to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate
Loans hereunder shall forthwith be suspended during the pendency of such circumstances and
Borrowers shall, if any affected LIBOR Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from
Agent, convert such affected LIBOR Rate Loans into Prime Rate Loans.

 

10

 

3.2 Payments. Except where evidenced by notes or other instruments issued or made by
Borrowers to any Lender and accepted by such Lender specifically containing payment instructions
that are in conflict with this Section 3.2 (in which case the conflicting provisions of said notes
or other instruments shall govern and control), the Obligations shall be payable as follows:

3.2.1 Principal; Revolving Credit Loans. Principal on account of Revolving Credit
Loans shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders immediately upon
the earliest of (i) the receipt by Agent or any Borrower of any proceeds of any of the Collateral
(except as otherwise provided herein), including without limitation pursuant to subsections 3.3 and
6.2.4, to the extent of said proceeds, subject to Borrowers’ rights to reborrow such amounts in
compliance with subsection 1.1.1 hereof; (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence
of which Agent or Majority Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity and payment of the Obligations,
or (iii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4 hereof; provided,
however, that, if an Overadvance shall exist at any time, Borrowers shall, on demand, repay
the Overadvance. Each payment (including principal prepayment) by Borrowers on account of
principal of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied first to Prime Rate Revolving Loans and
then to LIBOR Rate Revolving Loans.

3.2.2 Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan
shall be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

3.2.3 Costs, Fees and Charges. Costs, fees and charges payable pursuant to this
Agreement shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent, as and when provided in Section 2 or Section 3
hereof, as applicable to Agent or a Lender, as applicable, or to any other Person designated by
Agent or such Lender in writing.

3.2.4 Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of
money, if any, shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent for distribution to Lenders, as appropriate,
as and when provided in this Agreement, the Other Agreements or the Security Documents, or on
demand, whichever is later.

3.2.5 LIBOR Rate Loans. If the application of any payment made in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 3.3 at a time when no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
would result in termination of a LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for
such LIBOR Rate Loan, the amount of such prepayment shall not be applied to such LIBOR Rate Loan,
but will, at Borrowers’ option, be held by Agent in a non-interest bearing account at Bank, which
account is in the name of Agent and from which account only Agent can make any withdrawal, in each
case to be applied as such amount would
otherwise have been applied under this Section 3.3 at the earlier to occur of (i) the last day
of the relevant Interest Period or (ii) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default.

 

11

 

3.3 Mandatory Prepayments.

3.3.1 Proceeds of Sale, Loss, Destruction or Condemnation of Collateral. Except as
provided in subsections 6.4.2 and 8.2.9, if any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries sells any of
the Collateral or if any of the Collateral is lost or destroyed or taken by condemnation, Borrowers
shall, unless otherwise agreed by Majority Lenders, pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders
as and when received by any Borrower or such Subsidiary and as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans,
as herein provided, a sum equal to the proceeds (including insurance payments but net of costs and
taxes incurred in connection with such sale or event) received by Borrowers or such Subsidiary from
such sale, loss, destruction or condemnation. The applicable prepayment shall be applied to reduce
the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, but shall not permanently reduce
the Revolving Loan Commitments.

3.3.2 Proceeds from Issuance of Additional Indebtedness or Equity. If any Borrower
issues any additional Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to subsection 8.2.3)
or obtains any additional equity in a manner permitted under this Agreement, Borrowers shall pay to
Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, when and as received by such Borrower and as a mandatory
prepayment of the Obligations, a sum equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the net proceeds to
such Borrower of the issuance of such Indebtedness or equity. Any such prepayment shall be applied
to the Loans in the manner specified in the second sentence of subsection 3.3.1 until payment
thereof in full.

3.4 Application of Payments and Collections.

3.4.1 Collections. All items of payment received by Agent by 12:00 noon, New York,
New York, time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on that Business Day. All items of
payment received after 12:00 noon, New York, New York, time, on any Business Day shall be deemed
received on the following Business Day. If as the result of collections of Accounts as authorized
by subsection 6.2.4 hereof or otherwise, a credit balance exists in the Loan Account, such credit
balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be disbursed to Borrowers or
otherwise at Borrower Representative’s direction in the manner set forth in subsection 3.1.2, upon
Borrower Representative’s request at any time, so long as no Default or Event of Default then
exists. Agent may at its option, offset such credit balance against any of the Obligations upon
and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

3.4.2 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest
payments shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of
the Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender). All payments shall be remitted to
Agent and all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Loans, or not
constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Accounts, or, except as provided in
subsection 3.3.1, other Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense
reimbursements (other than amounts related to Product Obligations) then due to Agent or Lenders
from Borrowers; second, to pay interest due from

 

12

 

Borrowers in respect of all Loans,
including Agent Loans; third, to pay or prepay principal of Agent Loans; fourth, to pay or
prepay principal of the Revolving Credit Loans (other than Agent Loans) and unpaid reimbursement
obligations in respect of Letters of Credit; fifth, to pay an amount to Agent equal to all
outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations to be held as cash Collateral for such Obligations;
sixth, to the payment of any other Obligation (other than amounts related to Product
Obligations) due to Agent or any Lender by Borrowers; and seventh, to pay any fees,
indemnities or expense reimbursements related to Product Obligations. After the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to
apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time or times hereafter
by Agent or its agent against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent may deem advisable,
notwithstanding any entry by Agent or any Lender upon any of its books and records.

3.5 All Loans to Constitute One Obligation. The Loans and LC Guarantees shall
constitute one general Obligation of Borrowers, and shall be secured by Agent’s Lien upon all of
the Collateral.

3.6 Loan Account. Agent shall enter all Loans as debits to a loan account (the “Loan
Account”) and shall also record in the Loan Account all payments made by Borrowers on any
Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral which are finally paid to Agent, and may record therein,
in accordance with customary accounting practice, other debits and credits, including interest and
all charges and expenses properly chargeable to Borrowers. Agent shall provide Borrowers with
reasonable access to such Loan Account for Borrowers’ review.

3.7 Statements of Account. Agent will account to Borrower Representative monthly with
a statement of Loans, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement during the immediately
preceding month, and such account rendered by Agent shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive
upon Borrowers absent demonstrable error unless Agent is notified by Borrowers in writing to the
contrary within 45 days of the date each accounting is received by Borrowers. Such notice shall
only be deemed an objection to those items specifically objected to therein.

3.8 Increased Costs.

(a) If on or after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation or guideline (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof,
or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(x) shall subject the Bank to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR
Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation
of payments to the Bank of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Rate Loans or any other
amounts due under this agreement in respect of its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to
make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for the introduction of, or change in the rate of, tax on the
overall net income of the Bank or franchise taxes, imposed by the jurisdiction (or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof)
under the laws of which the Bank is organized or in which the Bank’s principal
executive office is located); or

 

13

 

(y) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States) against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Agent or any Lender or shall impose on
Agent or any Lender or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting its
LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any Lender of making or
maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Agent
or any Lender under this Agreement with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by Agent or any Lender
to be material, then, within 15 days after Borrower Representative’s receipt of a certificate from
Agent or such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of such amount(s), Borrowers
shall pay to Agent, for its own account or the account of the applicable Lender, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate Agent or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction;
provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent or any Lender for any such amount
incurred more than 180 days prior to the delivery of such certificate.

(b) If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.8, then such Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice
or reduce amounts payable in the future, as applicable; and (b) in each case, would not
subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate. In the event that Agent or any
Lender shall have determined that:

(i) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any Interest Period;
or

(ii) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not
available in the London interbank market with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or a
proposed conversion of a Prime Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan; then

 

14

 

Agent or such Lender shall give Borrowers prompt written, telephonic or electronic notice of the
determination of such effect. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested LIBOR Rate Loan
shall be made as a Prime Rate Loan, unless Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf
of all other Borrowers, shall notify Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) three
(3) Business Days’ prior to the date of such proposed borrowing that the request for such
 borrowing shall be canceled or made as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, and (ii) any Prime
Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
continued as or converted into a Prime Rate Loan, or, if Borrowers shall notify Agent, no later
than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion,
shall be maintained as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan.

3.10 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of
any Loan made by it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of Loans made by all
Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from each other Lender such participation in such
Loan as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with
each other Lender; provided, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded
and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lenders the purchase price to the extent of such
recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion
of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from
the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in
respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 3.10 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the
amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all
purchases and repayments to be made under this Section 3.10 shall be made through Agent and
recorded in the Loan Account.

3.11 Replacement of Lenders. Within thirty (30) days after (i) receipt by Agent of
notice and demand from any Lender for payment of additional costs as provided in Section 3.8,
(ii) any Lender is a Defaulted Lender, and the circumstances causing such status shall not have
been cured or waived, or (iii) any failure by any Lender to consent to a requested amendment,
waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Majority Lenders have already consented to
such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender, or each Lender affected
thereby, is required with respect thereto, (each relevant Lender in the foregoing clauses (i)
through (iii) being any “Affected Lender”) each of Borrower Representative and Agent may, at its
option, notify such Affected Lender and, in the case of Borrower Representative’s election, the
Agent, of such Person’s intention to obtain, a Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender
(“Replacement Lender”) for such Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be acceptable to Agent, in
Agent’s Judgment, and, in the event the Replacement Lender is to replace an Affected Lender
described in the preceding clause (iii) such Replacement Lender consents to the requested
amendment, waiver or modification making the replacement Lender an Affected Lender. In the event
Borrower or Agent, as applicable, obtains a Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following
notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell, at par, and assign all of its
Loans and funding commitments hereunder to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 12.5; provided, that (A) Borrowers shall have, as
applicable, reimbursed such Lender for its increased costs and additional payments for which it is
entitled to reimbursement under any of Section 3.8, of this Agreement through the date of such sale
and assignment and (B) Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent

 

15

 

the $3,500 processing fee in
respect of such assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 12.5 within five (5) Business Days
after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 3.11 and
presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment pursuant
to this Section 3.11, such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such
Assignment Agreement, and any such Assignment Agreement executed by Agent, the Replacement Lender
and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 12.5, Borrowers, shall be effective for purposes of
this Section 3.11 and Section 12.5. Upon any such assignment and payment, such replaced Lender
shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof, other than with respect to such rights
and obligations that survive termination as set forth in Section 12.2.

SECTION 4. TERM AND TERMINATION

4.1 Term of Agreement. Subject to the right of Lenders to cease making Loans to
Borrowers during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, this Agreement shall be in
effect for a period of two (2) years from the date hereof, through and including November 6, 2009
(the “Term”), unless terminated as provided in Section 4.2 hereof.

4.2 Termination.

4.2.1 Termination by Lenders. Agent may, and at the direction of Majority Lenders
shall, terminate this Agreement without notice upon or after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default. Further, Agent may, and at the direction of Majority Lenders
shall, terminate this Agreement, upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to Borrower Representative, if
Borrowers have not obtained a firm commitment to Refinance the Convertible Debentures, the terms
and conditions of which commitment and Refinancing are acceptable to Agent in Agent’s Judgment, on
or prior to August 15, 2008.

4.2.2 Termination by Borrowers. Upon at least 30 days prior written notice to Agent
and Lenders, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such termination shall be effective until Borrowers have paid or
collateralized to Agent’s reasonable satisfaction all of the Obligations (other than contingent
Obligations (including contingent indemnity claims)) in immediately available funds, all Letters of
Credit and LC Guaranties have expired, terminated or have been cash collateralized to Agent’s
reasonable satisfaction and Borrowers have complied with subsection 3.1.9. Except as otherwise
provided in subsection 3.1.9, any such termination shall be without prepayment penalty or
termination charge to Borrowers. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable
unless all Lenders otherwise agree in writing and no Lender shall have any obligation to make any
Loans or issue or procure any Letters of Credit or LC Guaranties on or after the termination date
stated in such notice. Borrowers may elect to terminate this Agreement in its entirety only. No
section of this Agreement or type of Loan available hereunder may be terminated singly.

 

16

 

4.2.3 Effect of Termination. All of the Obligations shall be immediately due and
payable upon the termination date stated in any notice of termination of this Agreement. All
undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of Borrowers contained in the
Loan Documents shall survive any such termination and Agent shall retain its Liens in the
Collateral and Agent and each Lender shall retain all of its rights and remedies under the
Loan Documents notwithstanding such termination until all Obligations (other than contingent

immediately available funds, including, without limitation, all Obligations under Section 2.6 and
subsection 3.2.5 resulting from such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the payment in
full of the Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in the Collateral
unless, with respect to any loss or damage Agent may incur as a result of dishonored checks or
other items of payment received by Agent from any Borrower or any Account Debtor and applied to the
Obligations, Agent shall, at its option, (i) have received a written agreement reasonably
satisfactory to Agent, executed by any Borrower and by any Person whose loans or other advances to
Borrowers are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and each
Lender from any such loss or damage or (ii) have retained cash Collateral or other Collateral for
such period of time as Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary to protect Agent and
each Lender from any such loss or damage.

under such lease or license (other than in respect of the Proceeds thereof) for so long as such
prohibition continues, it being understood that upon request of Agent, such Borrower will in good
faith use reasonable efforts to obtain consent for the creation of a security interest in favor of

license.

5.2 Other Collateral.

5.2.1 Commercial Tort Claims. Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent in writing upon
any Borrower incurring or otherwise obtaining a Commercial Tort Claim (having a value reasonably
expected to be in excess of $50,000 ($1,000 if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing)) after the Closing Date against any third party and, upon request of Agent,

of Agent’s Lien upon the Collateral. Unless prohibited by applicable law, each Borrower hereby
authorizes Agent to file any such financing statement, including, without limitation, financing
statements that indicate the Collateral (i) as all assets of such Borrower or words of similar
effect, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater or lesser detail, than as set
forth in Section 5.1, on such Borrower’s behalf. Each Borrower also hereby ratifies its
authorization for Agent to have filed in any jurisdiction any like financing statements or
amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. The parties agree that a carbon,
photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement
and may be filed in any appropriate office in lieu thereof. At Agent’s request, each Borrower
shall also promptly execute or cause to be executed and shall deliver to Agent any and all
documents, instruments and agreements deemed necessary by Agent, to give effect to or carry out the

ratable benefit of Lenders, as additional security and Collateral for the Obligations, deeds of
trust, security deeds, mortgages or other collateral assignments reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to Agent and its counsel (herein collectively referred to as “New Mortgages”)
covering such real Property. Each New Mortgage shall be duly recorded (at Borrowers’ expense) in
each office where such recording is required to constitute a valid Lien on the real Property
covered thereby. In respect to any New Mortgage, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent, at Borrowers’
expense, mortgagee title insurance policies issued by a title insurance company reasonably satisfactory to Agent, which policies shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Agent and shall insure a valid Lien in favor of Agent for the benefit of itself and
each Lender on the Property covered thereby, subject only to Permitted Liens and those other
exceptions reasonably acceptable to Agent and its counsel. Borrowers shall also deliver to Agent
such other usual and customary documents, including, without limitation, ALTA Surveys of the real

SECTION 6. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

6.1 General.

6.1.1 Location of Collateral. All Collateral, other than Inventory in transit, motor
vehicles and Collateral being repaired at third party locations, will at all times be kept by
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries at one or more of the business locations set forth in
Exhibit 6.1.1 hereto, as updated by Borrowers providing prior written notice to Agent of
any new location.

6.1.2 Insurance of Collateral. Borrowers shall maintain and pay for insurance upon
all Collateral wherever located and with respect to the business of Borrowers and each of their
Subsidiaries, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, workers’ compensation and such other
risks in such amounts and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
Borrowers shall deliver certificates of insurance with respect to such policies to Agent as
promptly as practicable, with satisfactory lender’s loss payable endorsements, naming Agent as a
loss payee, assignee or additional insured, as appropriate, as its interest may appear, and showing
only such other loss payees, assignees and additional insureds as are reasonably satisfactory to
Agent. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to
give not less than 10 days’ prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the
policy for nonpayment of premium and not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Agent in the
event of cancellation of the policy for any other reason whatsoever and a clause specifying that
the interest of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower,
any of its Subsidiaries or the owner of the Property or by the occupation of the premises for
purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. Borrowers agree to deliver to Agent,
promptly as rendered, true copies of all reports made in any reporting forms to insurance
companies. All proceeds of business interruption insurance (if any) of Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries shall be remitted to Agent for application to the outstanding balance of the Revolving
Credit Loans.

Unless Borrowers provide Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this
Agreement, Agent may purchase insurance at Borrowers’ expense to protect Agent’s interests in the
Properties of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. This insurance may, but need not, protect the
interests of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. The coverage that Agent purchases may not pay any
claim that any Borrowers or any Subsidiary makes or any claim that is made against any Borrower or
any such Subsidiary in connection with said Property. Borrowers may later cancel any insurance
purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that Borrowers and their
Subsidiaries have obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance,
Borrowers will be responsible for the costs of that
insurance, including interest and any other charges Agent may impose in connection with the
placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the
insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance
may be more than the cost of insurance that Borrowers and their Subsidiaries may be able to obtain
on their own.

 

20

 

6.1.3 Protection of Collateral. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be liable or
responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage
thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Agent’s or
any Lender’s actual possession) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or
default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other person whomsoever, but the same
shall be at Borrowers’ sole risk.

6.2 Administration of Accounts.

6.2.1 Records, Schedules and Assignments of Accounts. Borrowers shall keep accurate
and complete records of their Accounts and Dining Credits all payments and collections thereon and
shall submit to Agent on such periodic basis as Agent shall request a sales and collections report
for the preceding period, in form consistent with the reports currently prepared by Borrowers with
respect to such information. Concurrently with the delivery of each Borrowing Base Certificate
described in subsection 8.1.4, or quarterly if a Trigger Period has not occurred and is continuing,
or more frequently as requested by Agent in Agent’s Judgment, from and after the date hereof,
Borrowers shall deliver to Agent a detailed aged trial balance of all of its Accounts, Dining
Credits and RCR Loans, specifying the names, addresses, face values, dates of invoices and due
dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an Account, a Dining Credit or an RCR Loan so listed
(“Schedule of Accounts”), and upon Agent’s request therefor, copies of proof of delivery and the
original copy of all documents, including, without limitation, repayment histories and present
status reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled and such other matters and information
relating to the status of then existing Accounts as Agent shall reasonably request. If requested
by Agent in Agent’s Judgment, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent formal written
assignments of all of its Accounts weekly or daily, which shall include all Accounts that have been
created since the date of the last assignment, together with copies of invoices or invoice
registers related thereto.

6.2.2 Discounts, Allowances, Disputes. If any Borrower grants any discounts,
allowances or credits with respect to any Account, Dining Credit or RCR Loan, Borrowers shall
reflect such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be, to Agent as part of the next
required Schedule of Accounts.

6.2.3 Account Verification. Any of Agent’s officers, employees or agents shall have
the right, at any time or times hereafter, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any
Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts by mail,
telephone, electronic communication or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Agent in an
effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process. Unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any such verifications shall be conducted in the name of
Borrower Representative or a third party.

 

21

 

6.2.4 Maintenance of Dominion Account. Commencing with the date which is the earlier
of 120 days after the Closing Date or the date on which Borrowers request a Revolving Credit Loan
or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts at Bank (or such
other lockbox servicer reasonably acceptable to Agent) pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements
reasonably acceptable to Agent. Borrowers shall enter into an agreement (in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent) from Bank, establishing Agent’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or
Dominion Account, which may be exercised by Agent during any Trigger Period, requiring immediate
deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account, and waiving offset rights
of Bank, except for customary administrative charges. If a Dominion Account is not maintained with
Bank, Agent may, during any Trigger Period, require immediate transfer of all funds in such account
to a Dominion Account maintained with Bank. Neither Agent nor Lenders assume any responsibility to
Borrowers for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and
satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

6.2.5 Collection of Accounts, Proceeds of Collateral. Each Borrower agrees that all
invoices rendered and other requests made by any Borrower for payment in respect of Accounts shall
contain a written statement directing payment in respect of such Accounts to be paid to a lockbox
established pursuant to subsection 6.2.4. To expedite collection, each Borrower shall endeavor in
the first instance to make collection of its Accounts for Agent. All remittances received by any
Borrower on account of Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other Collateral, shall be held
as Agent’s property, for its benefit and the benefit of Lenders, by such Borrower as trustee of an
express trust for Agent’s benefit and such Borrower shall immediately deposit same in kind in the
Dominion Account. Agent retains the right at all times after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default to notify Account Debtors that Borrowers’ Accounts
have been assigned to Agent and to collect Borrowers’ Accounts directly in its own name, or in the
name of Agent’s agent, and to charge the collection costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees,
to Borrowers.

6.2.6 Taxes. If an Account includes a charge for any tax payable to any governmental
taxing authority, Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the
proper taxing authority for the account of Borrowers and to charge Borrowers therefor, except for
taxes that (i) are being actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which Borrowers maintain reasonable reserves on its books therefor and (ii) would not
reasonably be expected to result in any Lien other than a Permitted Lien. In no event shall Agent
or any Lender be liable for any taxes to any governmental taxing authority that may be due by any
Borrower.

6.3 Intentionally Omitted.

6.4 Administration of Equipment.

6.4.1 Records and Schedules of Equipment. Borrowers shall keep records of their
Equipment which shall be complete and accurate in all material respects itemizing and describing
the kind, type, quality, quantity and book value of its Equipment and all dispositions made in
accordance with subsection 6.4.2 hereof, and upon request by Agent, Borrowers shall, and shall
cause each of their Subsidiaries to, furnish Agent with a current schedule containing the
foregoing information on at least an annual basis and more often if reasonably requested by
Agent. Promptly after the request therefor by Agent, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent any and all
evidence of ownership, if any, of any of their Equipment.

 

22

 

6.4.2 Dispositions of Equipment. Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any of
their Subsidiaries to, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of their respective
Equipment or other fixed assets or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Agent;
provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply, for so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing, to (i) dispositions of Equipment and other
fixed assets which, in the aggregate during any consecutive twelve-month period, have a fair market
value or a book value, whichever is more, of $500,000 or less, provided that all proceeds
thereof are remitted to Agent for application to the Loans as provided in subsection 3.3.1, or
(ii) replacements of Equipment or other fixed assets that are substantially worn, damaged or
obsolete with Equipment or other fixed assets of like kind, function and value which are useful in
the business of any Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries, provided that the replacement
Equipment or other fixed assets shall be acquired within 90 days after any disposition of the
Equipment or other fixed assets that are to be replaced and the replacement Equipment or other
fixed assets shall be free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens that are not Purchase
Money Liens.

6.5 Payment of Charges. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under Section 6 hereof
shall be Obligations secured by all of the Collateral, shall be payable on demand and shall bear
interest from the date such advance was made until paid in full at the rate applicable to Prime
Rate Revolving Loans from time to time.

7.1.11 Full Disclosure. The financial statements referred to in subsection 7.1.10
hereof do not, nor does this Agreement or any other written statement of Borrowers to Agent or any
Lender contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make
the statements contained therein or herein not misleading, in any material respect. There is no
fact which Borrowers have failed to disclose to Agent or any Lender in writing which could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.1.12 Solvent Financial Condition. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, is
now and, after giving effect to the initial Loans to be made and the initial Letters of Credit and
LC Guaranties to be issued hereunder, all related transactions will be and the reimbursement

7.1.13 Surety Obligations. Except as set forth on Exhibit 7.1.13, as of the
date hereof, neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is obligated as surety or indemnitor
under any surety or similar bond or other contract or has issued or entered into any agreement to
assure payment, performance or completion of performance of any undertaking or obligation of any
Person.

7.1.14 Taxes. Borrower Representative’s federal tax identification number is
84-6028875. The federal (or applicable Canadian, if any) tax identification number of each
Subsidiary of Borrower Representative is shown on Exhibit 7.1.14 hereto. Each Borrower and

and Properties as and when such taxes, assessments, fees, levies and charges are due and payable,
unless and to the extent any thereof are being actively contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings, and each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries maintains reasonable reserves on its
books therefor. The provision for taxes on the books of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries is
adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes, and for the current fiscal year.

7.1.15 Brokers. Except as shown on Exhibit 7.1.15 hereto, there are no claims
for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or investment banking fees in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.1.16 Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Licenses. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries owns, possesses or licenses or has the right to use all the patents, trademarks,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses and other Intellectual Property necessary for the
present and planned future conduct of its business without any known conflict with the rights of
others, except for such conflicts as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. All such federally registered patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights,
licenses and other similar rights are listed on Exhibit 7.1.16 hereto. No claim has been
asserted to any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower which is currently pending that their
use of their Intellectual Property or the conduct of their business does or may infringe upon the
Intellectual Property rights of any third party. To the knowledge of Borrowers and except as set forth on Exhibit 7.1.16 hereto, as of the date hereof, no Person is engaging in any
activity

 

28

 

that infringes in any material respect upon any Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’
material Intellectual Property. Except as set forth on Exhibit 7.1.16, each Borrower’s and
each of its Subsidiaries’ material trademarks, service marks and copyrights are registered with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or in the U.S. Copyright Office, as applicable. The consummation
and performance of the transactions and actions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including, without limitation, the exercise by Agent of any of its rights or remedies
under Section 10, will not result in the termination or impairment of any of such Borrower’s or any
of its Subsidiaries’ ownership or rights relating to its Intellectual Property, except for such
Intellectual Property rights the loss or impairment of which could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as listed on Exhibit 7.1.16 and except as could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither any Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in breach of, or default under, any term of any license or sublicense with respect
to any of its Intellectual Property and (ii) to the knowledge of Borrowers, no other party to such
license or sublicense is in breach thereof or default thereunder, and such license is valid and
enforceable.

7.1.17 Governmental Consents. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has, and is
in good standing with respect to, all governmental consents, approvals, licenses, authorizations,
permits, certificates, inspections and franchises necessary to continue to conduct its business as
heretofore or proposed to be conducted by it and to own or lease and operate its Properties as now
owned or leased by it, except where the failure to possess or so maintain such rights could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.1.18 Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has duly
complied, and its Properties, business operations and leaseholds are in compliance with, the
provisions of all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to such Borrower
or such Subsidiary, as applicable, its Properties or the conduct of its business, except for such
non-compliance as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there
have been no citations, notices or orders of noncompliance issued to any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries under any such law, rule or regulation, except where such noncompliance could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries has established and maintains an adequate monitoring system to insure that it remains
in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local rules, laws and
regulations applicable to it.

7.1.19 Restrictions. Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party or
subject to any contract or agreement which restricts its right or ability to incur Indebtedness,
other than as set forth on Exhibit 7.1.19 hereto, none of which prohibit the execution of
or compliance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, as applicable.

7.1.20 Litigation. Except as set forth on Exhibit 7.1.20 hereto or as
disclosed in the Public Filings existing as of the Closing Date and accrued for in RNI’s most
recent financial statements, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending, or
to the knowledge of Borrowers, threatened, against or affecting any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, which, singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default with respect
to any order, writ, injunction, judgment, decree or rule of any court, governmental authority or
arbitration board or tribunal, which, singly or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

29

 

7.1.21 No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists which would, upon
or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Borrower’s performance hereunder,
constitute a Default or an Event of Default. Neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is
in default in (and no event has occurred and no condition exists which constitutes, or which the
passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute, a default in) the payment of any
Indebtedness to any Person for Money Borrowed in excess of $250,000.

7.1.22 Leases. Exhibit 7.1.22 hereto is a complete listing of all capitalized
and operating personal property leases of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and all real property
leases of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries (in each case with annual rentals of $150,000 or more).
Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in full compliance with all of the terms of each of
its respective capitalized and operating leases, except where the failure to so comply could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.1.23 Pension Plans. Except as disclosed on Exhibit 7.1.23 hereto, neither
any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any Plan. Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
is in compliance with the requirements of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder with
respect to each Plan, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. No fact or situation that could reasonably be expected to result
in a material adverse change in the financial condition of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries exists
in connection with any Plan. Neither any Borrower nor any of their Subsidiaries has any withdrawal
liability in connection with a Multiemployer Plan.

7.1.24 Trade Relations. There exists no actual or, to Borrowers’ knowledge,
threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of, or any modification or change in, the
business relationship between any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and any customer or any group
of customers whose purchases individually or in the aggregate are material to the business of
Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, or with any material supplier, except in each case, where the
same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there exists no
present condition or state of facts or circumstances which would prevent any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries from conducting such business after the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement in substantially the same manner in which it has heretofore been conducted.

7.1.25 Labor Relations. Except as described on Exhibit 7.1.25 hereto, as of
the date hereof, neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective
bargaining agreement. There are no material grievances, disputes or controversies with any union
or any other organization of any Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ employees, or threats of
strikes, work stoppages or any asserted pending demands for collective bargaining by any union or
organization, except those that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

30

 

7.1.26 Related Businesses. Borrowers are engaged in the businesses of marketing
services, business intelligence, loyalty programs and access to capital to the restaurant industry
as of the Closing Date, as well as in certain other businesses. These operations require financing
on a basis such that the credit supplied can be made available from time to time to Borrowers, as
required for the continued successful operation of Borrowers taken as a whole. Borrowers have
requested the Lenders to make credit available hereunder primarily for the purposes set forth in
Section 1.1.3 and generally for the purposes of financing the operations of Borrowers. Each
Borrower and each Subsidiary of each Borrower expects to derive benefit (and the Board of Directors
of each Borrower and each Subsidiary of each Borrower has determined that such Borrower or
Subsidiary may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly or indirectly, from a portion of
the credit extended by Lenders hereunder, both in its separate capacity and as a member of the
group of companies, since the successful operation and condition of each Borrower and each
Subsidiary of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions
of the group as a whole. Each Borrower acknowledges that, but for the agreement of each of the
other Borrowers to execute and deliver this Agreement, Agent and Lenders would not have made
available the credit facilities established hereby on the terms set forth herein.

7.2 Continuous Nature of Representations and Warranties. During a Trigger Period,
each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
continuous in nature and shall remain accurate, complete and not misleading at all times during the
term of this Agreement, except for changes in the nature of any Borrower’s or one of any Borrower’s
Subsidiary’s business or operations that would render the information in any exhibit attached
hereto or to any other Loan Document either inaccurate, incomplete or misleading, so long as
Majority Lenders have consented to such changes, such changes are expressly permitted by this
Agreement or such changes do not have or evidence a Material Adverse Effect. Borrowers shall have
the right to amend the Exhibits attached hereto from time to time so long as any such amendment
does not have or evidence a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, except as otherwise qualified by the preceding sentence, each Loan request made or
deemed made pursuant to subsection 3.1.1 hereof shall constitute Borrowers’ reaffirmation, as of
the date of each such loan request, of each representation, warranty or other statement made or
furnished to Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower, any Subsidiary of any Borrower,
or any Guarantor in this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any instrument, certificate
or financial statement furnished in compliance with or in reference thereto.

7.3 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of
Borrowers contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall survive the
execution, delivery and acceptance thereof by Agent and each Lender and the parties thereto and the
closing of the transactions described therein or related thereto.

writing, they shall:

Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, for the purpose of completing appraisals pursuant to
Section 2.10. Agent, if no Default or Event of Default then exists, shall give Borrowers
reasonable prior notice of any such inspection or audit. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers

Agent and Lenders periodically during each year, which meeting(s) shall be held at such times and
such places as may be reasonably requested by Agent.

8.1.2 Notices. Promptly notify Agent in writing of the occurrence of any event or the
existence of any fact which renders any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material respect as of the date
made or remade. In addition, Borrowers agree to provide Agent with prompt written notice of any
change in the information disclosed in any Exhibit hereto (other than those specifically relating
to the date hereof), in each case after giving effect to the materiality limits and Material
Adverse Effect qualifications contained therein.

8.1.3 Financial Statements. Keep, and cause each of their Subsidiaries to keep,
adequate records and books of account with respect to its business activities in which proper
entries are made in accordance with customary accounting practices reflecting all its financial

Representative, unqualified (except for a qualification for a change in accounting
principles with which the accountant concurs) audited financial statements of Borrower

principal financial officer of Borrower Representative as prepared in accordance with GAAP
and fairly presenting in all material
respects the financial position and results of operations of Borrower Representative
and its Subsidiaries for such month and period subject only to changes from audit and

(ii) of this subsection 8.1.3, a management report (1) setting forth in comparative form the
corresponding figures for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year and the
corresponding figures from the most recent Projections for the current fiscal year delivered
pursuant to subsection 8.1.7 and (2) identifying the reasons for any significant variations.
The information above shall be presented in reasonable detail and shall be certified by the

proxy statements, financial statements or reports which Borrower Representative has made

from time to time, may reasonably request, bearing upon or related to the Collateral or
Borrowers’ or any of their Subsidiaries’ financial condition or results of operations.

Representative’s management that is prepared in connection with such financial statements.

this subsection 8.1.3, or more frequently if requested by Agent, in Agent’s Judgment, Borrowers
shall cause to be prepared and furnished to Agent a Compliance Certificate in the form of

Borrowing Base Certificate as of the last day of the immediately preceding month, with such
supporting materials as Agent shall reasonably request. If Borrowers deem it advisable, or Agent
shall request, in Agent’s Judgment, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent Borrowing Base
Certificates more frequently than monthly.

Agent with landlord waivers, with respect to such premises. Such landlord waivers shall be in a
form supplied by Agent to Borrowers with such reasonable revisions as are customarily accepted by
Agent or by similar financial institutions in similar financial transactions.

periods as Agent may request.

8.1.7 Projections. No later than the last day of each fiscal year of RNI, deliver to
Agent Projections of Borrower Representative and each of its Subsidiaries for the forthcoming
fiscal year, month by month. Agent and Lenders understand and agree that (i) any projections

which are beyond the Borrowers’ control, (ii) no assurance is given by any Borrower that such
projections will be realized, and (iii) the actual results may differ from such projections and
such differences may be material. Borrowers consent that any such Projections delivered to Agent
will, at the time of delivery to Agent, be based on reasonable assumptions, as determined by RNI’s
senior management and shall, in light of such assumptions, be realistic and achievable.

8.1.8 Subsidiaries. Cause each domestic Subsidiary of each Borrower, whether now or
hereafter in existence, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, to execute and deliver to Agent a

without further consent of Borrowers.

remedies:

10.3.1 All of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or under other
applicable law, and all other legal and equitable rights to which Agent or Lenders may be entitled,
all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other rights
or remedies contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and none of which shall
be exclusive.

10.3.2 The right to take immediate possession of the Collateral, and to (i) require each
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries to assemble the Collateral, at Borrowers’ expense, and make
it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent which is reasonably convenient to both
parties, and (ii) enter any premises where any of the Collateral shall be located and to keep and
store the Collateral on said premises until sold (and if said premises be the Property of any
Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Borrower, Borrowers agree not to charge, or permit any of its
Subsidiaries to charge, Agent for storage thereof).

 

43

 

10.3.3 The right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any Collateral in its then condition,
or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale or sales, with
such notice as may be required by law, in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as Agent, in
its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Agent may, at Agent’s option, disclaim any
 and all warranties regarding the Collateral in connection with any such sale. Borrowers agree
that 10 days’ written notice to Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of any public or private
sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be reasonable notice thereof, and such sale shall be
at such locations as Agent may designate in said notice. Agent shall have the right to conduct
such sales on any Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ premises, without charge therefor, and
such sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with applicable law. Agent shall have
the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, or any part thereof, for cash,
credit or any combination thereof, and Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may purchase all or any part of
the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of
such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations. The proceeds
realized from the sale of any Collateral may be applied, after allowing 2 Business Days for
collection, first to the costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred by Agent in collecting the
Obligations, in enforcing the rights of Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and in
collecting, retaking, completing, protecting, removing, storing, advertising for sale, selling and
delivering any Collateral, second to the interest due upon any of the Obligations; and third, to
the principal of the Obligations. If any deficiency shall arise, each Borrower and each Guarantor
shall remain jointly and severally liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

10.3.4 Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, each
Borrower’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ labels, patents, copyrights, licenses, rights of use of
any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any Property of a
similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing, advertising for sale and selling
any Collateral and each Borrower’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ rights under all licenses and all
franchise agreements shall inure to Agent’s benefit. Agent agrees not to exercise any such license
or right to use unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing.

10.3.5 Agent may, at its option, require Borrowers to deposit with Agent funds equal to the LC
Amount and, if Borrowers fail to promptly make such deposit, Agent may advance such amount as a
Revolving Credit Loan (whether or not an Overadvance is created thereby). Each such Revolving
Credit Loan shall be secured by all of the Collateral and shall constitute a Prime Rate Revolving
Loan. Any such deposit or advance shall be held by Agent as a reserve to fund future payments on
such LC Guaranties and future drawings against such Letters of Credit. At such time as all LC
Guaranties have been paid or terminated and all Letters of Credit have been drawn upon or expired,
any amounts remaining in such reserve shall be applied against any outstanding Obligations, or, if
all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, returned to Borrowers.

10.4 Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the
continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrowers at any time or
from time to time, with prior written consent of Agent and with reasonably prompt subsequent notice
to Borrowers (any prior or contemporaneous notice to Borrowers being hereby expressly waived) to
set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (i) balances held by such Lender at any of its
offices for the account of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such
balances are then due to a Borrower or its Subsidiaries), and (ii) other property at any time held
or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of any Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations. Any Lender exercising a right to set off shall, to the extent the amount of any such set off exceeds its Revolving
Loan Percentage of the amount set off, purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell)
interests in each such other Lender’s pro rata share of the Obligations as would be necessary to
cause such Lender to share such excess with each other Lender in accordance with their respective
Revolving Loan Percentages. Each Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any
Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its pro rata share of
the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such excess to Agent for the benefit of all Lenders
in accordance with the Revolving Loan Percentages.

 

44

 

10.5 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. All covenants, conditions, provisions,
warranties, guaranties, indemnities, and other undertakings of Borrowers contained in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in any document referred to herein or contained in any
agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule or in any Guaranty Agreement given to Agent or
any Lender or contained in any other agreement between any Lender and Borrowers or between Agent
and Borrowers heretofore, concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative to
and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or agreements of
Borrowers herein contained. The failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to require strict
performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise or enforce any rights,
Liens, powers, or remedies hereunder or under any of the aforesaid agreements or other documents or
security or Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and
remedies, but all such requirements, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full
force and effect until all Loans and other Obligations owing or to become owing from Borrowers to
Agent and each Lender have been fully satisfied. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties,
covenants and representations of Borrowers contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents and no Default or Event of Default by Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lenders, unless such suspension or
waiver is by an instrument in writing specifying such suspension or waiver and is signed by a duly
authorized representative of Agent and directed to Borrowers.

SECTION 11. AGENT

11.1 Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Agent to
take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that Agent shall not have by
reason of this Agreement assumed a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. In performing
its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and shall
not assume, or be deemed to have assumed, any obligation toward, or relationship of agency or trust
with or for, Borrower. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including without limitation enforcement and collection of the Notes), Agent
may, but shall not be required to, exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be
required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining
from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders, whenever such instruction shall be
requested by Agent or required hereunder, or a greater or lesser number of Lenders if so required
hereunder, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, that Agent
shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action which exposes Agent to any liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or applicable law, unless Agent is indemnified to its satisfaction by the other Lenders
against any and all liability and expense which it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to
take any such action. If Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Majority Lenders (or a greater
or lesser number of Lenders as required in this Agreement), with respect to any action hereunder,
Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender and shall notify each Lender at any time that the
Majority Lenders (or such greater or lesser number of Lenders) have instructed Agent to act or
refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

 

45

 

11.2 Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither Agent, any Affiliate of Agent, nor any of their
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
generality of the foregoing, Agent: (i) may treat each Lender party hereto as the holder of
Obligations until Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer of such lender’s
portion of the Obligations signed by such Lender and in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent;
(ii) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by
it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranties or
representations to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals,
statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty beyond Agent’s customary practices in respect of loans
in which Agent is the only lender, to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance
of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the
part of Borrowers, to inspect the property (including the books and records) of Borrowers, to
monitor the financial condition of Borrowers or to ascertain the existence or possible existence or
continuation of any Default or Event of Default; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the
due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto
or thereto; (vi) shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken, or inaction, by Agent upon
the instructions of Majority Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof or refraining to take any
action pending such instructions; (vii) shall not be liable for any apportionment or distributions
of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to Section 3 hereof; (viii) shall incur no liability
under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice,
consent, certificate, message or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, facsimile,
telegram, cable or telex) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the
proper party or parties; and (ix) may assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, unless Agent has actual knowledge of the Event of Default, has received notice from
Borrowers or Borrowers’ independent certified public accountants stating the nature of the Event of
Default, or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature of the Event of Default and that
such Lender considers the Event of Default to have occurred and to be continuing. In the event any
apportionment or distribution described in clause (vii) above is determined to have been made in
error, the sole recourse of any Person to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover
from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are
determined to have been entitled.

 

46

 

11.3 RBS and Affiliates. With respect to its commitment hereunder to make Loans, RBS
shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the terms “Lender,”
“Lenders” or “Majority Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include RBS in its
individual capacity as a Lender. RBS and its Affiliates may lend money to, and generally engage
in any kind of business with, Borrowers, and any Person who may do business with or own Securities
of any Borrower, all as if RBS were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any
other Lender.

11.4 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to
herein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility,
either initially or on an ongoing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other similar
information regarding Borrowers.

11.5 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed
by Borrowers), in accordance with their respective Aggregate Percentages, from and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent under this Agreement; provided that no
Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share, as set forth above, of any
out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether
through negotiation, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that Agent is
not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrowers. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 11.5
shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. If
after payment and distribution of any amount by Agent to Lenders, any Lender or any other Person,
including Borrowers, any creditor of any Borrower, a liquidator, administrator or trustee in
bankruptcy, recovers from Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to Agent or disbursed
by Agent to Lenders, then Lenders, in accordance with their respective Aggregate Percentages, shall
reimburse Agent for all such amounts.

11.6 Rights and Remedies to Be Exercised by Agent Only. Each Lender agrees that,
except as set forth in Section 10.4, no Lender shall have any right individually (i) to realize
upon the security created by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to enforce any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) to make demand under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

47

 

11.7 Agency Provisions Relating to Collateral. Each Lender authorizes and ratifies
Agent’s entry into this Agreement and the Security Documents for the benefit of Lenders. Each
Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by Agent of the powers set
forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto,
shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all
Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any
action with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and
maintain perfected Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of
Lenders. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to
release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the
Agreement and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations; or (ii) constituting property being sold
or disposed of if Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance
with subsection 8.2.9 hereof (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without
further inquiry); or (iii) constituting property in which no Borrower owned any interest at the
time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) in connection with any foreclosure
sale or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default; or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Agent at the direction

obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or
is owned by any Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the

particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care,
disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of its rights, authorities and powers
granted or available to Agent in this Section 11.7 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being
understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related
thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, but

loans of Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent and any

each of their Affiliates) and hold Agent and each Lender (and each of their Affiliates) harmless
from and against any liability, loss, damage, suit, action or proceeding ever suffered or incurred

Borrower’s failure to observe, perform or discharge such Borrower’s duties hereunder. In addition,
each Borrower shall defend Agent and each Lender (and each of their Affiliates) against and save it
harmless from all claims of any Person with respect to the Collateral (except those resulting from
the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of Agent or
any Lender, as applicable). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, these indemnities

to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials or other toxic substances.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the obligation of Borrowers under this
Section 12.2 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent

Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the Obligations, or any portion thereof,
including, without limitation, such Borrower’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and
duties hereunder or thereunder.

12.4 Severability. Wherever 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

ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of each
Borrower, Agent and each Lender permitted under Section 11.9 hereof.

the Security Documents are hereby made cumulative with the provisions of this Agreement. Except as

 12.15 GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO FORUM. THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN NEGOTIATED, EXECUTED
AND DELIVERED IN AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL SHALL BE LOCATED IN ANY JURISDICTION OTHER
THAN ILLINOIS, THE LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION SHALL GOVERN THE METHOD, MANNER AND PROCEDURE FOR FORECLOSURE OF AGENT’S LIEN UPON SUCH COLLATERAL AND THE ENFORCEMENT
OF AGENT’S OTHER REMEDIES IN RESPECT OF SUCH COLLATERAL TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LAWS OF SUCH
JURISDICTION ARE DIFFERENT FROM OR INCONSISTENT WITH THE LAWS OF ILLINOIS. AS PART OF THE

PLACE OF BUSINESS OF ANY BORROWER, AGENT OR ANY LENDER, EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES
THAT THE CIRCUIT COURT OF COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS, OR, AT AGENT’S OPTION, THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT

ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH ANY
BORROWER MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM
NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE
RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE
SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF
SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO
BORROWERS AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED
COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF BORROWERS’ ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR 3 DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S.
MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO AFFECT THE
RIGHT OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW, OR TO
PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT BY AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OR ORDER OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM OR
THE TAKING OF ANY ACTION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO ENFORCE SAME IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE FORUM OR
JURISDICTION.

12.16 WAIVERS BY BORROWERS. EACH BORROWER WAIVES (i) THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
(WHICH AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY ALSO WAIVES) IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF
ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE OBLIGATIONS OR THE COLLATERAL;
(ii) PRESENTMENT, DEMAND AND PROTEST AND NOTICE OF PRESENTMENT, PROTEST, DEFAULT, NON PAYMENT,
MATURITY, RELEASE, COMPROMISE, SETTLEMENT, EXTENSION OR RENEWAL OF ANY OR ALL COMMERCIAL PAPER,
ACCOUNTS, CONTRACT RIGHTS, DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS , CHATTEL PAPER AND GUARANTIES AT ANY TIME HELD
BY AGENT OR ANY LENDER ON WHICH BORROWERS MAY IN ANY WAY BE LIABLE AND HEREBY RATIFIES AND CONFIRMS

 

56

 

WHATEVER AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY DO IN THIS REGARD; (iii) NOTICE PRIOR TO AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR
CONTROL OF THE COLLATERAL OR ANY BOND OR SECURITY WHICH MIGHT BE REQUIRED BY ANY COURT PRIOR TO
ALLOWING AGENT TO EXERCISE ANY OF AGENT’S REMEDIES; (iv) THE BENEFIT OF ALL VALUATION, APPRAISEMENT
AND EXEMPTION LAWS; (v) NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE HEREOF; AND (vi) EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY
RIGHT TO CLAIM OR RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES
OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING
WAIVERS ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO AGENT’S AND EACH LENDER’S ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND
THAT AGENT AND EACH LENDER IS RELYING UPON THE FOREGOING WAIVERS IN ITS FUTURE DEALINGS WITH
BORROWERS. EACH BORROWER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING WAIVERS WITH
ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING
CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A
WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

12.17 Advertisement. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to publish the name of any
Borrower and the amount of the credit facility provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or comparable
advertisement which Agent elects to publish.

12.18 Reimbursement. The undertaking by Borrowers to repay the Obligations and each
representation, warranty or covenant of each Borrower are and shall be joint and several. To the
extent that any Borrower shall be required to pay a portion of the Obligations which shall exceed
the amount of loans, advances or other extensions of credit received by such Borrower and all
interest, costs, fees and expenses attributable to such loans, advances or other extensions of
credit, then such Borrower shall be reimbursed by the other Borrowers for the amount of such
excess. This Section 12.18 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers, and
nothing set forth in Section 12.18 is intended or shall impair the obligations of each Borrower,
jointly and severally, to pay to Agent and Lenders the Obligations as and when the same shall
become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Section 12.18 or any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the
intent of the parties hereto that the liability incurred by each Borrower in respect of the
Obligations of the other Borrowers (and any Lien granted by each Borrower to secure such
Obligations), not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of
any applicable law of any state or other governmental unit (“Fraudulent Conveyance”).
Consequently, each Borrower, Agent and each Lender hereby agree that if a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the incurrence of liability by any Borrower in respect of the
Obligations of any other Borrower (or any Liens granted by such Borrower to secure such
Obligations) would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance,
such liability (and such Liens) shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that
would not cause the same to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly, nunc pro tunc.

 

57

 

12.19 Patriot Act Notice. Agent and Lenders hereby notify Borrowers that pursuant to
the requirements of the Patriot Act, Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies each Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and
other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the Patriot
Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any,
and may require information regarding any Borrower’s management and owners, such as legal name,
address, social security number and date of birth.
