If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Borrowing of LIBOR Loans into a Borrowing of ABR Loans, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.
(c)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  The determination of the LIBOR Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  At any time that ABR Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in JPMorgan Chase’s prime rate used in determining the ABR promptly following the public announcement of such change.
SECTION 2.07.     Pro Rata Borrowings.  Each Borrowing of Loans under this Agreement shall be granted by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then applicable Closing Date Term Loan Commitments or Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments, as applicable.  It is understood that (a) no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder and (b) failure by a Lender to perform any of its obligations under any of the Loan Documents shall not release any Person from performance of its obligation under any Loan Document.

SECTION 2.08.    Interest.  (a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR in effect from time to time.
(b)    The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable LIBOR Margin in effect from time to time plus the relevant LIBOR Rate.
(c)    (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods) whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(ii)        If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(iii)        While any Event of Default under Article VII exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(iv)        Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 
(v)        Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.08 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(d)    Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to, but excluding the date of, any repayment thereof and shall be payable, in each case in cash, (i) on each Interest Payment Date and (ii) on any prepayment date (on the amount prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.
(e)    All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 2.16.
(f)    The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof.  Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

us\smolyju\8802494.13

(g)    Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the Administrative Agent Fee on the Closing Date and thereafter on each anniversary of the Closing Date until this Agreement has terminated and the Loans and any amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement have been paid in full.  All such Administrative Agent Fees shall be deemed fully earned when due and payable.
(b)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a non-refundable Closing Fee on terms provided in the Fee Letter.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) in the case of LIBOR Loans, or written or fax notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written or fax notice) on the Business Day of prepayment in the case of ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., (New York City time). Each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and each such partial prepayment shall be in an amount not less than $1,000,000.
(b)    Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable unless conditioned upon a Refinancing, in which case it shall still be subject to Section 2.14, and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein.  All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be subject to Section 2.14.  All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by the payment in cash of (i) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment, plus (ii) the Early Termination Fee on the principal amount to be prepaid.
SECTION 2.11.    Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)    On each occasion that a Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the occurrence of a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event and within five (5) Business Days after the occurrence of any other Prepayment Event (or, in the case of Deferred Net Cash Proceeds, within five (5) Business Days after the end of the Reinvestment Period relating to such Prepayment Event), prepay, in accordance with paragraph (b) below, the principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Prepayment Event if other

SECTION 2.12.    Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.  (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes and Indemnified Taxes addressed in Section 2.17, which shall govern with respect thereto) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or subjects any Lender to any Taxes or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender at the time set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12 such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

46

or reductions; provided further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period.  The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.
SECTION 2.13.    Change in Legality.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:  (i) such Lender may declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into LIBOR Loans, whereupon any request for a LIBOR Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a LIBOR Borrowing or to continue a LIBOR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.  In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Loans.
(b)    For purposes of this Section 2.13, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such LIBOR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.
SECTION 2.14.    Indemnity.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any LIBOR Loan to be made by such Lender (including any LIBOR Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.06) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to be made hereunder.  In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the LIBOR Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

47

last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.15.    Sharing of Setoffs.  Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans.  The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.16.    Payments.  (a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim.  Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 2 Greenwich Plaza, Greenwich Connecticut, 06830.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m., New York City time, shall be deemed received on the next Business Day (in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.  
(b)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any other amounts) hereunder or under any 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

48

other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable.
(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).
(d)    All interest on LIBOR Loans shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days.  Interest on ABR Loans, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 365 days (or 366, as the case may be).  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration.  A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail amounts payable by the Borrower under Section 2.12, Section 2.13 and Section 2.17 and the basis therefor, submitted to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 Business Days following receipt of the certificate.
SECTION 2.17.    Taxes.  (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

49

any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    Each Foreign Lender hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Closing Date, or in the case of a Foreign Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance after the Closing Date no later than the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto, or, in the case where a Foreign Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”), no later than the date such Lender designates the New Lending Office, and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally able to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent either (i) two accurate, complete and signed copies of either (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8ECI or successor form, (y) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or successor form, in each case, indicating that such Foreign Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive payments of interest hereunder free from, or subject to a reduced rate of, withholding of United States Federal income tax, or (z) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (and required attachments or supporting statements) or successor form, (ii) in the case of such a Lender that is entitled to claim exemption from withholding of United States Federal income tax under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Lender is (A) not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) not a “10 percent shareholder” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code and (C) not a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two accurate, complete and signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W‐8BEN or successor form, or (iii) any other form or documentation prescribed by applicable law indicating that such Foreign Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive payments of interest hereunder free from, or subject to a reduced rate of, withholding of United States Federal income tax.  In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender and shall deliver such forms within 5 days after receipt of a written request therefor from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.
(f)    The Administrative Agent and each Lender that is a U.S. person as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, other than a Lender that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii), hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Closing Date or, in the case of a Lender that becomes a party 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

50

hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance after the Closing Date no later than the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate, complete and signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W‐9 or successor form, certifying that the Administrative Agent and each such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax.  Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent has received such forms or other documents required by this Section 2.17(f), the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall withhold amounts as required by applicable requirements of law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.
(g)    If a Lender or the Administrative Agent determines that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17 or made an indemnity payment, pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender; provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other person.
(h)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Taxes and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) relating to maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  The indemnity under this Section 2.17 shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent.  Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.
(i)    If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under this Agreement may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (and, in the instance of a payment made to a Lender, to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its withholding obligations, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.18.    Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.  (a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.12, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.13, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, (iv)  any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (v) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender, plus all fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.12 and 2.14); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.12, notice under Section 2.13 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.17, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.13, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.17, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.12 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.12 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.17 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder.  Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.18.
(b)    If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.13, or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage

or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.12 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.13 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17, as the case may be, in the future.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

ARTICLE VIII 
 
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (for purposes of this Article VIII, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Without 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

82

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and any rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.
The institution serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.
Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Secured Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08 or in the Intercreditor Agreements, as applicable), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates in any capacity.  Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders or Secured Parties as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08 or in the Intercreditor Agreements, as applicable) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person.  Each Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

us\smolyju\8802494.13

83

Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it.  Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, either Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender and based on such 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 the Agents or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Each Lender hereby consents to and approves each and all of the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the same and to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies and perform its obligations thereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Agents on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof (subject, in the 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

84

case of the Collateral, to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements).  In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition.  Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.  The provisions of this paragraph are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or contribute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents and (B) notification of changes in the terms of this Agreement.
Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to, and receive, Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

86

contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or their securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”.  NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.  IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
SECTION 9.02.    Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

87

Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not been terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.17 and 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.
SECTION 9.03.    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.
SECTION 9.04.    Successors and Assigns.  (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
(b)    Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent must also give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be not less than, $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment or Loans); provided that simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related Funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and the parties to each such assignment (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund) shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable tax forms required under Section 2.17(e) and 2.17(f).  Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

88

thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.14, 2.17 and 9.05, as well as to any fees accrued for its account and not yet paid).
(c)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:  (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee and is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 5.04, the Intercreditor Agreements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements; (vii) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (viii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

89

Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)    Upon its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable, and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Borrower to such assignment and any applicable tax forms required under Section 2.17(e) and 2.17(f), the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).
(f)    Each Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other persons in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other persons shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.12, 2.14 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that such participating banks or persons shall be entitled to benefit from Section 2.17 only if the documentation required under Section 2.17(e) or Section 2.17(f) shall be have been delivered to the Lender selling a participation)) to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or person has an interest or releasing any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted under Article VI) or all or substantially all of the Collateral).  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1

us\smolyju\8802494.13

90

(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(g)    Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.
(h)    Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender, or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(j)    The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.
SECTION 9.05.    Expenses; Indemnity.  (a) The Borrower agrees to pay all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Fried Frank Harris Shriver & Jacobson LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent, and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of one local counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender in each appropriate jurisdiction.
(b)    Except with respect to Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim), the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

us\smolyju\8802494.13

92

(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e)    The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender.  All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.06.    Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION 9.07.    Applicable Law.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 9.08.    Waivers; Amendment.  (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

us\smolyju\8802494.13

93

(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any other Loan Document or any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this Section 9.08 or release one or more Subsidiary Guarantors representing all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees hereunder or all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC or (v) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the date hereof); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
(c)    The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Loan Document to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Lender; provided, however, that no such amendment shall become effective until the fifth Business Day after it has been posted to the Lenders, and then only if the Required Lenders have not objected in writing thereto within such five Business Day period.
SECTION 9.09.    Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 9.10.    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof.  Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

94

parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 9.11.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.
SECTION 9.12.    Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not, in any way, be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 9.13.    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other customary means of electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.14.    Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York 

us\smolyju\8802494.13

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)    The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c)    Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.16.    Confidentiality.  The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16.  For the purposes of this Section 9.16, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary and related to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or their respective business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of Information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.17.    Lender Action.  Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, in each case with respect to any Collateral owned by such Loan Party, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  The provisions of this Section 9.17 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.
SECTION 9.18.    USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 9.19.    Application of Proceeds.  Upon receipt from the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, following the exercise of remedies provided for in Article VII (or after the Loans have automatically become due and payable as set forth in Article VII), the Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
SECOND, to the payment in full of all other Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution).
The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.

provided that the Collateral shall not include the Excluded Assets.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the security interest granted hereunder attach to, nor shall “Collateral” include, any contract, agreement, instrument or indenture to which a Grantor is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder if and for so long as the grant of such security interest shall constitute or result in (i) the unenforceability of any right of the Grantor therein or (ii) in a

In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requires or is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation that would require) the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary Grantor due to the fact that such Subsidiary Grantor's capital stock and securities secure the Notes, then the capital stock and securities of such Subsidiary Grantor shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral (but only to the extent necessary for such Subsidiary Grantor to not be subject to such requirement to provide separate financial statements) and such excluded portion of the capital stock and securities is referred to as the “Excluded Stock Collateral”.  In such event, the Notes Documents may be amended, modified or supplemented, without the consent of any Secured Party, to the extent necessary to release the security interests on the Excluded Stock Collateral.  In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation that would permit) any Subsidiary Grantor's Excluded Stock Collateral to secure the Notes in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary Grantor, then the capital stock and securities of such Subsidiary Grantor shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral (but only to the extent possible without such Subsidiary Grantor becoming subject to any such filing requirement). In such event, the Notes Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Secured Party, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Notes Documents such additional capital stock and securities.
SECTION 4.          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants to and with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, that:
4.1Representations in the Purchase Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement.  (a) in the case of the Secured Parties (other than the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the beneficiaries of each indemnification obligation undertaken by any Grantor under any Loan Document and the permitted successors and assigns of each of the foregoing), the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement as they relate to the Issuer and such Subsidiary Grantor of the Notes Documents to which the Issuer and such Subsidiary Grantor is a party, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material respects, and each Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Issuer's knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 4.1, be deemed to be a reference to the Issuer's or such Subsidiary Grantor's knowledge, as applicable; and (b) in the case of the Secured Parties (other than the Holders, the Trustee, the beneficiaries of each 

12

indemnification obligation undertaken by any Grantor under any Notes Document and the permitted successors and assigns of each of the foregoing), the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Term Loan Agreement as they relate to the Issuer and such Subsidiary Grantor of the Loan Documents to which the Issuer and such Subsidiary Grantor is a party, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material respects, and each Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Issuer's knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 4.1, be deemed to be a reference to the Issuer's or such Subsidiary Grantor's knowledge, as applicable.
4.1Title; No Other Liens.  Except for the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Liens permitted to exist on the Collateral by the Indenture and the Term Loan Agreement, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others.  No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted by the Indenture or by the Term Loan Agreement or for which authorization to terminate has been provided by the secured party of record on or prior to the date hereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or developed by a Grantor.  For purposes of this Agreement, the other Notes Documents and the other Loan Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such Intellectual Property.  Each of the Secured Parties understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Collateral Agent to utilize, sell, lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.
4.Perfected First Priority Liens.  The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3, (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent in completed and, if and to the extent applicable, duly executed form) will constitute valid and continuing perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor's Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof except for Liens permitted by the Indenture or the Term Loan Agreement which have priority over the Liens on the Collateral by operation of law; provided however that no representation is made in this Section 4.3 as to the perfection of the security interests in (i) Vehicles, (ii) Deposit Accounts for which control agreements are not required pursuant to the terms hereof (including Government Receivable Accounts), (iii) Commercial Tort Claims, but only to the extent that such Commercial Tort Claims do not constitute Additional Commercial Tort Claims (as defined in Section 5.14) or (iv) Letter of Credit Rights, but only to the extent that the proceeds of the applicable letter of credit are not required to have been assigned to the Collateral Agent or for which the Collateral Agent is not required to have become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit, in each case pursuant to Section 5.19.
4.4Power and Authority.  Each Grantor (i) has the power and authority to pledge the Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated and (ii) will defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than any Lien created or permitted by the Notes Documents or the Loan Documents), however arising, of all persons whomsoever.

Each of the Pledged Notes and the documents evidencing the Pledged Notes are in full force and effect; there have been no renewals or extensions of, or amendments, modifications, or supplements to, any thereof about which the Collateral Agent has not been advised in writing; and no “default” or “potential default” has occurred and is continuing under any such Pledged Note or documents evidencing the Pledged Note.  Such Grantor has good title to the Pledged Notes, and such Pledged Notes are free from any claim for credit, deduction or allowance and free from any defense, condition, dispute, setoff or counterclaim, and there is no extension or indulgence with respect thereto.

(d)Each Investment Property Issuer that is a partnership, joint venture or a limited liability company (i) confirms that none of the terms of any equity interest issued by it provides that such equity interest is a “security” within the meaning of Sections 8-102 and 8-103 of the New York UCC (a “Security”), (ii) agrees that it will take no action to cause or permit any such equity interest to become a Security, (iii) agrees that it will not issue any certificate representing any such equity interest without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent acting at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, (iv) agrees that if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such equity interest shall be or become a Security, such Investment Property Issuer will (and the Grantor that holds such equity interest hereby instructs such Investment Property Issuer to) comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent by such Grantor and (v) shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a fully-executed Acknowledgment of Pledge, substantially in the form of Annex VII for each Pledged Partnership Interest and Pledged LLC Interest.
5.8Receivables.

20

(a)such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will (i) continue to use each Trademark on each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists in order to maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, (ii) maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) use such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, (iv) not adopt or use any mark which is confusingly similar or a colorable imitation of such Trademark unless the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall obtain a perfected security interest in such mark pursuant to this Agreement and (v) not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or impaired in any way;

(f)whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Collateral Agent within five Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs.

If such Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim other than or in addition to those set forth on Schedule 3.1 relating to any of the Collateral and having a face value individually or in the aggregate in excess of $1,000,000 (each such Commercial Tort Claim, an “Additional Commercial Tort Claim”), such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in a writing authenticated by such Grantor of the brief details of such Additional Commercial Tort Claim. Such Grantor shall grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest in such Additional Commercial Tort Claim and in the Proceeds thereof, all in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement and such writing shall be in form and substance satisfactory to create a valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, under the New York UCC.

SECTION 6.          REMEDIAL PROVISIONS
6.1Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.  (a)  At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Collateral Agent's request, at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause nationally recognized independent registered public accountants or other appropriately qualified experts to furnish to the Collateral Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.
(b)Each Grantor is hereby authorized to collect such Grantor's Receivables, subject to the Collateral Agent's direction and control after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  If required by the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 6.5 and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor; provided however that insofar as the foregoing applies to Government Receivables or any other Receivables subject to Healthcare Laws, such actions shall be authorized only to the extent permitted by law and in a manner consistent with applicable law and regulations and with each Grantor agreeing to cooperate with the Collateral Agent to effectuate the foregoing.  Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
(c)Each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables (except for any such original documents of which it is necessary or advisable for such Grantor to maintain possession in compliance with any Requirement of Law, in which case, a copy of such document shall be delivered), including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

24

6.2Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.  (a)  The Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others shall at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Collateral Agent's satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.
(b)Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent; provided however that insofar as the foregoing applies to Government Receivables, such actions shall be required only to the extent permitted by law and in a manner consistent with applicable law and regulations.
(c)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.  No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.3Pledged Securities.  (a)  Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given written notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent's intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 6.3(b) (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 6.01(7) or 6.01(8) of the Indenture or under paragraphs (g) or (h) of Article VII of the Term Loan Agreement), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided however that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or other action taken which could reasonably be expected to impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Indenture, this Agreement, any other Notes Document, the Term Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b)If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, gives notice (or shall be deemed to have given notice pursuant to Section 6.3(a)) of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 6.5 and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Investment Property Issuer or Investment Property Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its 

25

discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Investment Property Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
(c)Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Investment Property Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Investment Property Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Agent, to the extent such dividend or payment to the relevant Grantor is prohibited under this Agreement, the Indenture or the Term Loan Agreement.
6.4Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Agent.  In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, at the written request of the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and Instruments shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required); provided however that insofar as the foregoing applies to Government Receivables, such actions shall be required only to the extent permitted by law and in a manner consistent with applicable law and regulations.  All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control.  All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties), shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5.
6.5Application of Proceeds.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent's election, at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee, in payment of the Obligations in the following order:
First, to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (if not the Trustee) in connection with the collection of proceeds or sale of any Collateral or otherwise in connection with the Indenture, the other Notes Documents, the Term Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (if not the Trustee) on behalf of the Issuer or any other Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holders and the Lenders and such other Obligations;
Second, to the Trustee and the Administrative Agent, as their interests may appear, for application by each of them towards payment of the Notes and the Loans, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and such other Obligations on a pro rata basis based on the respective amount of 

26

the Notes, the Loans and other Obligations then outstanding as determined in accordance with Article III of the Term Loan Agreement Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement; and
Third, to the extent of any balance of such Proceeds after application in accordance with the foregoing, to the Issuer or such other Grantor, as applicable, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
6.6NY UCC and Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may, whether or not at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, and shall at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, exercise all remedies, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith enter upon the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Collateral Agent's claim or action and may collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker's board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.  Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent's request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor's premises or elsewhere.  The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect, acting at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.
6.7Registration Rights.  (a)  Each Grantor agrees to cause such Investment Property Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all applicable jurisdictions applicable to any sale or disposition of Pledged Equity pursuant to this Agreement, and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.  (a)  Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or 

27

otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Investment Property Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Investment Property Issuer would agree to do so.
(b)Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law; provided that no registration under the Securities Act shall be required.  Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Indenture or the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable.
6.8Deficiency.  Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
6.9Sales on Credit.  If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantors will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by the Collateral Agent and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the Grantors shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.
6.10Intellectual Property.  For purposes of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement and enabling the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns to enjoy the full benefits of the Collateral, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property.  Each Grantor shall provide the Collateral Agent with reasonable access to all media in which any of the Intellectual Property may be recorded or stored and all computer programs used for the completion or printout thereof.  This license shall also inure to the benefit of all successors, assigns and transferees of the Collateral Agent.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may require that each Grantor assign all of its right, title, and interest in and to the Intellectual Property or any part thereof to the Collateral Agent or such other Person as the Collateral Agent may designate pursuant to documents satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.  If no Event of Default exists, each Grantor shall have the exclusive, non-transferable right and license to use its Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of business and the exclusive right to grant to other Persons licenses and sublicenses with respect to the Intellectual Property for full and fair consideration.
SECTION 7.         THE COLLATERAL AGENT
7.1Collateral Agent's Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.  (a)  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full 

28

power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(ii)in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties' security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(iii)pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;
(iv)execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Sections 6.6 or 6.7, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
(v)(1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent's option and such Grantor's expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties' security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not be entitled to exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

29

(b)If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c)The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on interest payments past due under the Indenture, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.
(d)Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
7.1Duty of Collateral Agent.  (a)  Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.  The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.
(b)The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Grantors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.
(c)The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties' interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.  The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
7.3Financing Statements.  Each Grantor agrees to record and file, at its own expense, financing statements (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Collateral now existing or hereafter created meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfected the Collateral, and to promptly deliver a file stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of filing to the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation whatsoever to file such financing or continuation statements or to make any other filing under the UCC hereunder.

SECTION 2.Guarantee.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law affecting the rights of creditors generally.
SECTION 3.No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments.

SECTION 4.Rights of Guaranteed Parties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor consents and agrees that the Guaranteed Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Subsidiary Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guarantee or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
SECTION 5.Certain Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Guaranteed Party) of the liability of the Borrower other than indefeasible payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Subsidiary Guarantor's liability hereunder, (c) any right to require any Guaranteed Party to proceed against the Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Party's power whatsoever, (d) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Guaranteed Party and (e) any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guarantee or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 6.Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against such Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.
SECTION 7.Subrogation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guarantee until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guarantee have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of each Guaranteed Party or facilities provided by each Guaranteed Party with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated or repaid in full, as applicable (other than, in each case, Guaranteed Obligations in respect of contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made). If any amounts are paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of itself and the other Guaranteed Parties) to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
SECTION 8.Contribution. Subject to Section 7, each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under this Guarantee shall be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed 

EXECUTION VERSION

Obligations under this Guarantee to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor's pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP. The payment obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full, and no Subsidiary Guarantor shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section against any other Subsidiary Guarantor until such Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Subsidiary Guarantor recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. This Section shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Subsidiary Guarantor may have under applicable law against the Borrower in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 9.Termination; Reinstatement. This Guarantee is a continuing and irrevocable Guarantee of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guarantee are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of each Guaranteed Party or facilities provided by each Guaranteed Party with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated or repaid in full, as applicable (other than, in each case, Guaranteed Obligations in respect of contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is made, or any Guaranteed Party exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Guaranteed Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not any Guaranteed Party is in possession of or has released this Guarantee and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guarantee.
SECTION 10.Subordination.  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and Indebtedness of the Borrower owing to such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the Borrower to such Subsidiary Guarantor as subrogee of any Guaranteed Party or resulting from such Subsidiary Guarantor's performance under this Guarantee, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such obligation or Indebtedness of the Borrower to any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the proceeds thereof, as well as any other amounts received by such Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of this Section, shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guarantee.

EXECUTION VERSION

SECTION 11.Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by such Subsidiary Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
SECTION 12.Condition of Borrower. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other guarantor as such Subsidiary Guarantor requires, and that no Guaranteed Party has a duty, and such Subsidiary Guarantor is not relying on any Guaranteed Party at any time, to disclose to such Subsidiary Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor (such Subsidiary Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of any Guaranteed Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).
SECTION 13.Representations and Warranties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) it is duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and has full capacity and right to make and perform this Guarantee, and all necessary authority has been obtained, (b) this Guarantee constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms, (c) the making and performance of this Guarantee does not and will not violate the provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order, and does not and will not result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, any material agreement, instrument, or document to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected, except in each case any violation, breach, default or consent that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) all consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings and registrations with, any governmental authority required under applicable law and regulations for the making and performance of this Guarantee have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, except for such consents, approvals, licenses, authorizations, filings or registrations which the failure to make or obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 14.Amendments, Waivers and Consents. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, nor any consent be given, except in accordance with Section 9.08 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 15.Notices. All notices and communications hereunder or under any Guarantee Joinder Agreement (as defined in Section 19) shall be given to the addresses and otherwise made in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that notices and communications to the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be directed to the Subsidiary Guarantors, at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 16.Indemnity.  (a)  Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Guaranteed Party and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or 

EXECUTION VERSION

delivery of this Guarantee or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the Subsidiary Guarantors of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by such Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(b)  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not assert, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Guarantee or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby.
SECTION 17.Right of Setoff; Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS GUARANTEE AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Without limiting the general applicability of the foregoing and the terms of the other Loan Documents to this Guarantee and the parties hereto, the terms of Sections 9.06, 9.11 and 9.15 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, with each reference to the “Borrower” (whether express or by reference to the Borrower as a “party” thereto) therein being a reference to the Subsidiary Guarantors, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
SECTION 18.Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Guarantee may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Guarantee by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guarantee.
SECTION 19.Additional Guarantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Guarantee pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor for all purposes of this Guarantee upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Guarantee Joinder Agreement”).
SECTION 20.Miscellaneous. No failure by any Guaranteed Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guarantee shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and each Subsidiary Guarantor in writing, this Guarantee is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other Guarantee now or hereafter given by any Subsidiary 

EXECUTION VERSION

Guarantor or any other guarantor for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties or any term or provision thereof.
SECTION 21.Release of Subsidiary Guarantors.  A Subsidiary Guarantor will be released from its obligations under this Guarantee (other than any obligation that may have arisen under Section 8):
		
	(1)
	upon the sale (including any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by or for the benefit of a Guaranteed Party) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including the sale or disposition of equity interests of such Subsidiary Guarantor) following which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a subsidiary of the Borrower;

		
	(2)
	upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor;

		
	(3)
	upon the designation of such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined under and to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); or

		
	(4)
	upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations;

provided, however, that in the case of clauses (1) and (2) above, (i) such sale or other disposition is made to a person other than the Borrower or a subsidiary of the Borrower, (ii) such sale or disposition is permitted by the Credit Agreement and (iii) the Borrower provides a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the Administrative Agent to the foregoing effect.
At the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.
SECTION 22.Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Subsidiary Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Guarantee shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Guaranteed Parties, regardless of any investigation made by the Guaranteed Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Guaranteed Obligation or any other amount payable under this Guarantee is outstanding and unpaid.  The provisions of Section 16 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Guarantee or the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Guarantee.

The documents described in subsections (a) - (f) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Loan Documents”.  The documents described in subsections (a) - (c) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Opinion Documents”.

As used in this letter, “Applicable UCC” shall mean the California UCC and/or the Delaware UCC (as defined below) and/or the Illinois UCC and/or the New York UCC and/or the Texas UCC, as applicable. 
Except as otherwise stated herein, as to factual matters, we have, with your consent, relied upon the foregoing and upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Loan Parties and others, including the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents.  We have not independently verified such factual matters.
Except as otherwise stated herein, we are opining as to the effect on the subject transaction only of (A) the federal laws of the United States; (B) the internal laws of the State of New York; (C) with respect to numbered paragraphs 1(a), 2(a), 3(a), 4 and 5 of this letter, the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (“DLLCA”); (D) with respect to numbered paragraphs 1(b), 3(a), 4(a) and 5 of this letter, the California Corporations Code (the “CCC”); (E) with respect to numbered paragraphs 1(c), 3(a), 4(a) and 5 of this letter, the Illinois Business Corporation Act (the “IBCA”); (F) with respect to numbered paragraphs 1(e), 3(a), 4(a) and 5 of this letter, the Texas Business Organizations Code (the “TBOC”); (G) with respect to numbered paragraph 8(b) of this letter, the California UCC; (H) with respect to numbered paragraph 8(a) of this letter, the Delaware UCC (as defined below); (I) with respect to numbered paragraph 8(c) of this letter, the Illinois UCC; (J) with respect to numbered paragraphs 7, 8(d) and 9 of this letter, the New York UCC; and (K) with respect to numbered paragraph 8(e) of this letter, the Texas UCC and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.  With your permission, we have based our opinions set forth in paragraph 8(a) exclusively upon our review of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware as set forth in the CCH Secured Transactions Guide without regard to judicial interpretations thereof or any regulations promulgated thereunder or any other laws of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware UCC”).  

Except as otherwise stated herein, our opinions are based upon our consideration of only those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to borrowers and guarantors in secured loan transactions.  We express no opinion as to any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the subject transactions because of the legal or regulatory status of any parties to the Loan Documents or the legal or regulatory status of any of their affiliates.  Various matters concerning the internal laws of the States of Colorado and Florida are respectively addressed in the opinions of Greenberg Traurig, LLP and Proskauer Rose LLP, which have been separately provided to you.  We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters.

6.    The Borrower is not required to be registered as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
7.    The Collateral Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in that portion of the collateral described in Section 3 of the Collateral Agreement in which the Borrower and the Guarantors have rights and a valid security interest may be created under Article 9 of the New York UCC (the “UCC Collateral”), which security interest secures, among other things, the Loan Documents Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agreement).
8.    (a)    The Delaware Financing Statements are in appropriate form for filing in the Delaware Filing Office.

Assuming that the Collateral Agent (and each of the Secured Parties) acquires its interest in the Pledged Securities without notice of any adverse claim and that each of the Pledged Securities is either in bearer form or in in registered form issued in the name of the Collateral Agent or accompanied by an effective indorsement to the Collateral Agent or in blank, the Collateral Agent will acquired its security interest in the Pledged Securities free of any adverse claim. 
10.    The Trademark Security Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower.
Except as expressly set forth in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 we do not express any opinion with respect to the creation, validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any security interest or lien or the effectiveness of any sale or other conveyance or transfer of real or personal property.  The opinions above do not include any opinions with respect to compliance with laws relating to permissible rates of interest.
Our opinions are subject to:  (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion with respect to (a) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (b) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (c) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights and restrictions upon non-written modifications and waivers; (d) covenants not to compete; (e) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (f) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (g) grants of setoff rights; (h) provisions to the effect that a guarantor is liable as a primary obligor, and not as a surety and provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation; (i) provisions for the payment of attorneys' fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy and we call to your attention the provisions of Sections 1717 and 1717.5 of the California Civil Code, which limit 

and create obligations for the payment of attorneys' fees; (j) proxies, powers and trusts; (k) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property; (l) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (m) provisions permitting, upon acceleration of any indebtedness, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon or collection of any premium due upon acceleration; and (n) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.  We express no opinion or confirmation as to federal or state securities laws (except as expressly set forth in paragraph 6 as to federal securities laws), tax laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, pension or employee benefit laws, usury laws, environmental laws, margin regulations (except as expressly set forth in paragraph 5(ii)), laws and regulations relating to commodities trading, futures and swaps, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rules, National Futures Association rules or the rules of any stock exchange, clearing organization, designated contract market or other regulated entity for trading, processing, clearing or reporting transactions in securities, commodities, futures or swaps (without limiting other laws or rules excluded by customary practice).
The opinions set forth above are also subject to (i) the unenforceability of contractual provisions waiving or varying the rules listed in Section 9-602 of the Applicable UCC; (ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of contractual provisions respecting self-help or summary remedies without notice of or opportunity for hearing or correction; (iii) the effect of provisions of the Applicable UCC and other general legal principles that impose a duty to act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner; and (iv) the effect of Sections 9-406, 9‐407, 9-408 and 9-409 of the Applicable UCC (or Sections 9406, 9407, 9408, and 9409 of the California UCC) on any provision of any Loan Document or Financing Statement that purports to prohibit, restrict, require consent for or otherwise condition the assignment of rights under such Loan Document or Financing Statement.  Additionally, we express no opinion with respect to California Civil Code Section 711 on any provisions of the Loan Documents or Financing Statements which could be a restraint on alienation of property.
With your consent, we have assumed that (i) the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Borrower and each of the Specified Guarantors; (ii) the genuineness of all signatures and the legal capacity of all natural persons; (iii) the Loan Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Borrower and each of the Specified Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms; and (iv) the status of the Loan Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (a) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments; (b) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders; or (c) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities, provided that we make no such assumption to the extent we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Borrower and the Specified Guarantors herein.

Insofar as our opinions require interpretation of the Specified Agreements, with your consent, (i) we have assumed that courts of competent jurisdiction would enforce such agreements in accordance with their plain meaning; (ii) to the extent that any questions of legality or legal construction have arisen in connection with our review, we have applied the laws of the State of New York in resolving such questions, although certain of the Specified Agreements may be governed by other laws which differ from the State of New York; (iii) we express no opinion with respect to any breach or default under a Specified Agreement that would occur only upon the happening of a contingency; and (iv) we express no opinion with respect to any matters which would require us to perform a mathematical calculation or make a financial or accounting determination.
Our opinions in paragraphs 7 and 8(d) above are limited to Article 9 of the New York UCC, our opinions in paragraph 8(a) are limited to Article 9 of the Delaware UCC, our opinions in paragraph 8(b) are limited to Division 9 of the California UCC, our opinions in paragraph 8(c) are limited to Article 9 of the Illinois UCC, our opinions in paragraph 8(e) are limited to Article 9 of the Texas UCC, and our opinions in paragraph 9 are limited to Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC, and therefore those opinion paragraphs, among other things, do not address collateral of a type not subject to, or excluded from the coverage of, Articles 8 and 9, as the case may be, of the Applicable UCC.  
Additionally,
(i)    Except as expressly set forth in paragraph 9, we express no opinion with respect to the priority of any security interest or lien.
(ii)    We express no opinion with respect to any agricultural lien or any collateral that consists of letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, goods covered by a certificate of title, claims against any government or governmental agency, consumer goods, crops growing or to be grown, timber to be cut, goods which are or are to become fixtures, or as-extracted collateral or cooperative interests.
(iii)    We assume the descriptions of collateral contained in, or attached as schedules to, the Loan Documents and any Financing Statements accurately and sufficiently describe the collateral intended to be covered by the Loan Documents or such Financing Statements.  Additionally, we express no opinion as to whether the phrases “all personal property” or “all assets” or similarly general phrases would be sufficient to create a valid security interest in the collateral or particular item or items of collateral; however, we note that pursuant to Section 9-504 of the Applicable UCC (or Section 9504 of the California UCC) the phrases “all assets” or “all personal property” can be a sufficient description of collateral for purposes of perfection by the filing of a financing statement.
(iv)    We have assumed that each grantor of any security interest has, or with respect to after-acquired property will have, rights in the collateral granted by it or the power to transfer rights in such collateral, and that each such grantor has received value, and express no opinion as to the nature or extent of any grantor's rights in any of the collateral and we note that with respect to any after-acquired property, the security interest will not attach until the applicable grantor acquires such rights or power.

(v)    We call to your attention the fact that the perfection of a security interest in “proceeds” (as defined in the Applicable UCC) of collateral is governed and restricted by Section 9-315 of the Applicable UCC (or Section 9315 of the California UCC). 
(vi)    We have assumed that the exact legal name of the Borrower and the Specified Guarantors is as set forth in the copy of the organizational documents certified by the Borrower's and the Specified Guarantors' Secretary of State in its jurisdiction of incorporation, and we have also assumed the accuracy of the other factual information set forth on the Financing Statements.  
(vii)    Section 552 of the federal Bankruptcy Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the federal Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case.
(viii)    We express no opinion with respect to any property subject to a statute, regulation or treaty of the United States whose requirements for a security interest's obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property preempt Section 9-310(a) of the Applicable UCC  (or Section 9310(a) of the California UCC).
(ix)    We express no opinion with respect to any goods which are accessions to, or commingled or processed with, other goods to the extent that the security interest is limited by Section 9-335 or 9-336 of the Applicable UCC (or Section 9335 or 9336 of the California UCC).
(x)    We call to your attention that a security interest may not attach or become enforceable or be perfected as to contracts, licenses, permits, equity interests or other property that are not assignable under applicable law, or are subject to consent requirements or contractual or other prohibitions or restrictions on assignment, except to the extent that any such prohibitions, restrictions or consent requirements may be rendered ineffective to prevent the attachment of the security interest pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the Applicable UCC (or Sections 9406, 9407, 9408 or 9409 of the California UCC), as applicable, and we note that the extent of any security interest created in reliance on such UCC provisions may be limited.  In addition, we call to your attention that your rights under the Loan Documents and Financing Statements as secured parties may be subject to the provisions of the organizational and governing documents of any entity in which any equity interests (or other rights of equity holders or investors) are pledged and the provisions of the applicable laws under which any such entity is organized.  
(xi)    We express no opinion regarding any security interest in any copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks or other intellectual property, or any license or sublicense thereof or the proceeds of any of the foregoing except to the extent Article 9 of the Applicable UCC (or Division 9 of the California UCC) may be applicable to the foregoing and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we express no opinion as to the effect of any federal laws relating to copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks or other intellectual property on the opinions expressed herein.  In addition, we call to your attention that any license or sublicense of copyrights, patents, trademarks or other intellectual property may not be assignable unless such license or sublicense affirmatively permits the creation, perfection and enforcement of a security interest therein.   

(xii)    We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document or Financing Statement purporting to agree to the classification or type of any property for purposes of the Applicable UCC.
(xiii)   We express no opinion as to the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any deposit accounts into which Government Receivables (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) are directly deposited by any Governmental Authority (as defined in the Collateral Agreement).
(xiv)    We express no opinion with respect to the security interest of the Collateral Agent except to the extent that the Collateral Agent has been duly appointed as collateral agent for such persons on or prior to the date hereof.
(xv)    We call to your attention that in the case of interests in limited liability companies such interests are unlikely to be securities unless their terms expressly provide, and continue to provide, that they are securities governed by Article 8 of the Applicable UCC of the relevant jurisdiction.  Our opinion in paragraph 9 with respect to the Pledged Securities is limited to those limited liability company interests which are, and continue to be, certificated securities
We advise you of California statutory provisions and case law to the effect that a guarantor may be discharged, in whole or in part, if the beneficiary of the guaranty alters the obligation of the principal, fails to inform the guarantor of material information pertinent to the principal or any collateral, elects remedies that may impair either the subrogation or reimbursement rights of the guarantor against the principal or the value of any collateral, fails to accord the guarantor the protections afforded a debtor under Division 9 of the California UCC or otherwise takes any action that prejudices the guarantor, unless, in any such case, the guarantor has effectively waived such rights or the consequences of such action or has consented to such action.  While California Civil Code Section 2856 and case law provide that express waivers of a guarantor's right to be discharged, such as those contained in the Guarantee Agreement executed by the California Guarantors, are generally enforceable under California law, we express no opinion with respect to the effectiveness of the waivers in the Guarantee Agreement executed by the California Guarantors.
We note that the enforceability of the “Environmental Provisions” (as hereinafter defined) within the Loan Documents may be limited by California's anti-deficiency and one-form-of-action rules (as set forth in Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure) and judicial decisions interpreting such rules, notwithstanding that by the terms of the Loan Documents all or part of such Environmental Provisions purport to be obligations that are not secured by an interest in real property or obligations that will survive repayment of the secured borrowings and/or foreclosure of the Collateral.  We further note that Sections 726.5 and 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure establish certain additional limitations and procedural requirements with respect to the enforcement of Environmental Provisions.  For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Environmental Provision” means (i) any provision within the Loan Documents which falls within the definition of “environmental provision” as set forth in Section 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure; or (ii) any other provision set forth in the Loan Documents which purports to, or the effect of which could be to, (a) obligate the Borrower or any other person or entity to take any action (or to refrain from taking any action) with respect to environmental matters, or to indemnify the Collateral Agent against costs, claims, actions, expenses, damages, obligations, losses or any 

other matters arising out of environmental matters; or (b) guaranty or secure any such obligations; or (c) afford the Collateral Agent any additional rights, remedies or recoveries with respect to environmental matters.
We express no opinions with respect to the effect of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 564 on the enforceability of Section 8.18 of the Collateral Agreement.
Illinois case law calls into question the enforceability under certain circumstances of contractual provisions of the Loan Documents providing for the compounding of interest or the payment of interest on interest.
We note the effect of New York law and court decisions which provide that certain suretyship rights and defenses are available to a party that encumbers its property to secure the obligations of another.
Certain provisions of the Loan Documents reference certain provisions and agreements contained in other agreements that are not Loan Documents.  Our opinions expressed herein with respect to the Loan Documents, however, address only the express terms of the Loan Documents (excluding any provisions incorporating any document or agreement, or the provisions of any other document or agreement, by reference) and not any other document or agreement, or the provisions of such other document or agreement, incorporated therein or made a part thereof by reference.
This letter is furnished only to you and the Lenders listed on Schedule A hereto and is solely for your and their benefit in connection with the transactions referenced in the first paragraph.  This letter may not be relied upon by you or the Lenders listed on Schedule A hereto for any other purpose, or furnished to, assigned to, quoted to, or relied upon by any other person, firm or other entity for any purpose without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our sole discretion.  At your request, we hereby consent to reliance hereon by any future assignee of your interest in the loans under the Credit Agreement pursuant to an assignment that is made and consented to in accordance with the express provisions of Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement, on the condition and understanding that (i) this letter speaks only as of the date hereof, (ii) we have no responsibility or obligation to update this letter, to consider its applicability or correctness to other than its addressee(s), or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware, and (iii) any such reliance by a future assignee must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by the assignee at such time.

Very truly yours,

Based on our examination and consideration of the Documents, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the comments, assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth in Sections B and D hereof, we are of the opinion, with respect to each of the Subsidiaries, that:
1.Each Subsidiary has been incorporated and organized under the Colorado Business Corporation Act or its predecessor, as applicable, is in good standing, and its status is active.
2.Each Subsidiary has the corporate power to: (a) own, lease and operate its property and conduct its business, (b) execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder, and (c) grant the security interests to be granted by it pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which the Subsidiaries are a party.

3.Each Subsidiary has authorized by all necessary corporate action (a) the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which the Subsidiaries are a party, and (b) the filing of the Financing Statements being filed against it.
4.The Transaction Documents to which the Subsidiaries are a party have been executed and delivered by each Subsidiary.
5.The Financing Statements are in proper form for filing with the Filing Office, and upon the filing in such office of the Financing Statements, the Collateral Agent will have a perfected security interest in that portion of the Collateral described in the Collateral Agreement in which a security interest may be perfected under Article 9 of the UCC by the filing of a Financing Statement with the Filing Office.  The filing of the Financing Statements in the Filing Office are the only filings necessary to perfect by filing the security interest in those items of the Collateral covered by Article 9 of the UCC where filing is the method of perfection as under Article 9 of the UCC as described in such Filing Statements, which is owned by the Subsidiary.
6.The execution and delivery by each Subsidiary of the Transaction Documents to which the Subsidiaries are a party, the performance of their payment and other obligations thereunder and the granting of the security interests to be granted pursuant to the Collateral Agreement do not violate:  (a) any provisions of Colorado law, rule or regulation, which in our experience, are typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Subsidiaries are a party; (b) the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as either may have been amended, of each such Subsidiary, or (c) to our knowledge, any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or any arbitral award.
7.No consent, approval, authorization, license or exemption by, or other order of, or registration, recording or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency of the State of Colorado, which, in our experience, is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which the Subsidiaries are a party, is required for the execution and delivery by any Subsidiary of the Transaction Documents to which the Subsidiaries are a party, including the grant of security interests pursuant to the Collateral Agreement, except for the filing of the Financing Statements required for the perfection of security interests.
8.The Collateral Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent a security interest under Article 9 of the UCC as in effect on the date hereof in all right, title and interest of each Subsidiary in the Collateral in which a security interest can be created under Article 9 of the UCC to secure the Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agreement).
D.Comments, Assumptions, Limitations, Qualifications and Exceptions
The opinions expressed above are based upon and subject to, the further comments, assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions as set forth below:
1.We express no opinion with respect to perfection of a security interest in any portion of the Collateral:  (a) that is subject to federal statutes or treaty of the United States that provide for 

Silver Point Finance, LLC, as Administrative Agent
SPCP Group, LLC, as Lender
20__
Page 5

national or international registration or filing of security interests (e.g., Intellectual Property and civil aircraft (including engines, propellers, appliances, and spare parts) under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958)), (b) that is subject to a certificate of title; (c) farm products, fixtures, timber to be cut or as-extracted collateral; (d) consumer goods or manufactured homes; (e) commercial tort claims; (f) Deposit Accounts, money, cash or cash equivalents; (g) non-negotiable Documents or Goods covered by non-negotiable Documents; (h) Letter-of Credit Rights; or (i) property excluded from coverage under Article 9 of the UCC.
2.We express no opinion with respect to the effect of any provision of the Transaction Documents which is intended to establish any standard other than a standard set forth in the UCC as the measure of the performance by any party thereto of such party's obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness or care or of the fulfillment of the duties imposed on any secured party with respect to the maintenance, disposition or redemption of collateral, accounting for surplus proceeds of collateral or accepting collateral in discharge of liabilities.  We have also assumed that the Collateral Agent will enforce the respective Transaction Documents in compliance with the provisions of the UCC and any other provision of applicable law,
3.We have not made any investigation of and express no opinion as to the title of any party to property described in the Collateral Agreement, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, or mixed, the accuracy or inadequacy of the description of any of the property described in the Collateral Agreement, whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, or mixed.
4.We express no opinion as to the effectiveness of the Lender's security as to any rights (including rights of payment) under any right, account or other obligation for which the United States government or any other government or agency, department or subdivision thereof is an obligor.
5.We note that perfection of a security interest in the Collateral also perfects a security interest in a supporting obligation for such Collateral and that a security interest in a right to payment or performance also perfects a security interest in a security, mortgage or other lien in personal or real property securing that right.  We render no opinion regarding the validity or enforceability of any such supporting obligation or such supporting lien.
6.We express no opinion as to priority of perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent filed on behalf of the Lender, nor do we express an opinion on the validity, binding effect or the enforceability of the Transaction Documents. We have not made any investigation of, and do not express any opinion as to priority of any liens created by the Transaction Documents.
7.Our security interest opinions in Sections C.S. and C.6. of this opinion letter are limited to Title 4, Article 9 of the UCC. We express no opinion with respect to (i) the effect of section 4-9-315 of the UCC with respect to any proceeds of any Collateral that are not identifiable, or (ii) any Article 9 Collateral of a type that is or may become fixtures (as defined in section 4-9-102(a)(41) and (44) of the UCC).  We express no opinion with respect to transactions excluded from Article 9 of the UCC by section 4-9-109 thereof.  Except as expressly set forth in Sections C.5., C.6. and C.B. of this opinion letter, we express no opinion as to the perfection, the effect of perfection or non-perfection and the priority of any security interest that is perfected by any means other than

filing a financing statement under the UCC. Our security interest opinions in Sections C,5. and C.6. of this opinion letter are also subject to the following exceptions:  that with respect to (i) federal tax liens accorded priority under law, and liens created under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, which are properly filed after the date hereof, we express no opinion as to the relative priority of such liens and the security interests created by the Collateral Agreement or as to whether such liens may be adverse claims; and (ii) any claim (including for taxes) in favor of any state or any of its respective agencies, authorities, municipalities or political subdivisions which claim is given lien status and/or priority under any law of such state, we express no opinion as to the relative priority of such liens and the security interests created by the Collateral Agreement or as to whether such liens may be adverse claims.
8.We express no opinion herein with respect to Healthcare Laws.  “Healthcare Laws” means laws or regulations relating to the regulation of the health care industry or to payment for services rendered by healthcare providers, including, without limitation, (i) any provision of federal or state laws governing Medicare or any state Medicaid programs, (ii) Sections 1877, 1128, 1128A or 1128B of the Social Security Act, (iii) any prohibition on the making of any false statement or misrepresentations of material facts to any governmental agency that administers a Federal or State Health Care Program (including, but not limited to Medicare and Medicaid), (iv) the licensure, certification or registration requirements of health care facilities, services or equipment, (v) any state certificate of need or similar law governing the establishment of health care facilities or services or the making of health care capital expenditures, (vi) any state law relating to fee-splitting or the corporate practice of medicine, (vii) any physician self-referral prohibition or state anti-kickback law, (viii) any criminal offense relating to the delivery of, or claim for payment for, a healthcare item or service under any Federal or State Health Care Program, (ix) any federal or state law relating to the interference with or obstruction of any investigation into any criminal offense, (x) any criminal offense under federal or state law relating to the unlawful manufacture, distribution, prescription or dispensing of a controlled substance, and (xi) any laws relating to health or medical insurance.
9.We assume that the Transaction Documents and Financing Statements fall within the scope of the provisions of Section 7-108-501(1)(b) of Colorado Business Corporation Act and, as a result thereof, the remaining provisions of Section 7-108-501 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act and any similar provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Subsidiaries relating to interested transactions do not apply to the Transaction Documents or the Financing Statements.
10.Our opinions are limited solely to laws of the State of Colorado, and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder, that, in our experience, are normally and directly applicable to transactions of the same nature as those contemplated by the Transaction Documents between unregulated parties, provided that, such laws do not include, and we express no opinion with regard to any state laws relating to: (i) pollution or protection of the environment; (ii) zoning, land use, building or construction; (iii) occupational safety and health or other similar matters; (iv) labor and employee rights and benefits; (v) the regulation of utilities; (vi) antitrust and trade regulation; (vii) tax; (viii) securities; (ix) copyrights, patents and trademarks; (x) banking and insurance; (xi) bankruptcy; (xii) health care and safety laws; (xiii) laws and policies concerning emergencies and criminal and civil forfeiture laws; (xiv) state statutes of general application to the extent they provide

11.We have assumed that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents comply with any lending limitations and restrictions and securities laws applicable to the Lender or the Collateral Agent, that there are no other oral or written agreements to which the Subsidiaries are parties except the Transaction Documents, and that each of the Subsidiaries has “rights” in the Collateral within the meaning of the UCC consistent with and sufficient for purposes of the Transaction Documents.  We express no opinion as to the effect of the Lender's or the Collateral Agent's compliance or non¬compliance with any federal or state laws or regulations applicable to any of them because of the Lender's or Collateral Agent's legal or regulatory status or the nature of their respective businesses.  We also expressly disclaim any opinion relating to consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or filings as may be required to be made or obtained by the Lender or the Collateral Agent as a result of their respective involvement in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
12.We caution you, and express no opinion, regarding the following: (i) to the extent any Collateral consists of contractual rights of any of the Subsidiaries or pursuant to certain governmental permits and licenses, the transfer of certain contractual rights of any of the Subsidiaries included within the Collateral might be subject to the consent or approval of the other parties to such contracts; and (ii) the transfer of certain governmental permits and licenses of any of the Subsidiaries included within the Collateral might require the approval of the applicable governmental authority or might require the purported transferee to apply to such authority for a license or permit in the transferee's own name.
13.Our opinions are limited solely to the Transaction as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
14.The opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement such opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur, Further the opinions expressed herein are based on the Transaction Documents as of the date hereof and we express no opinion with respect to such Transaction Documents as they may be corrected, amended, modified or restated even if such correction, amendment, modification or restatement relates back to the date of this letter.
15.Our opinions herein regarding the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which the Subsidiaries are a party are based upon our review of copies of executed signature pages for such documents provided to us by others; we did not witness the execution or delivery of any of the Transaction Documents.
16.For purposes of this opinion letter we further advise you that the term “knowledge” means the current actual knowledge of the lawyers who are participating in drafting this opinion

EXHIBIT F-3 
Form of Local Counsel Opinion (Florida)
[______], 201[_]

Silver Point Finance, LLC 

Re:    Rotech Healthcare Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special Florida counsel to Rotech Healthcare Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) for the limited purpose of: (i) reviewing the corporate records of the 50 wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Borrower that are incorporated in the State of Florida (each a “Subsidiary and collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), as set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto; (ii) reviewing the Documents (as defined in Exhibit “A”); and (iii) providing the opinions set forth herein. This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.01(d) of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of [______], 201[_] (the “Credit Agreement”), between Silver Point Finance, LLC, as lender and administrative agent, and the Borrower.  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.  This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request, and is given with the consent of the Subsidiaries.
We have examined the UCC financing statements (collectively, the “Financing Statements”) attached hereto as Schedule 2 naming the respective Subsidiaries as debtor and ___________ (the “Collateral Agent”), as secured party, filed or to be filed with the Florida Secured Transaction Registry (the “Recording Office”).
In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have examined the originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such company records, agreements and instruments of the Subsidiaries, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Subsidiaries, and such other documents and records, and such matters of law, as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have relied, with your approval, as to factual and other matters that affect our opinions, solely on our examination of the Documents and of the Certificate of the Subsidiaries (the “Certificate”), attached hereto as Exhibit “B”, and have made no independent verification of the facts or other matters asserted to be true or correct therein.   Nothing has come to our attention, however, to cause us to question any of such facts or matters.

We have not made any investigation of and do not express any opinion as to, any matters of title or as to priority of any liens created by the Documents.

Silver Point Finance, LLC

For purposes of this opinion letter, we are licensed to practice law only in the State of Florida and express no opinion with respect to the effect of any law other than the law of the State of Florida, and the federal law of the United States (collectively, “Applicable Law”). As used in this letter, the “Florida UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as now in effect in the State of Florida.

This opinion letter has been prepared and is to be construed in accordance with the Report on Third-Party Legal Opinion Customary Practice in Florida, dated December 3, 2011, issued by the Legal Opinion Standards Committee of the Florida Bar Business Law Section and the Legal Opinions Committee of the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law Section of the Florida Bar, as amended and supplemented (the “Report”).  The Report is incorporated by reference into this opinion letter.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations stated in this letter and in the Report, we are of the opinion that:

1.Each Subsidiary is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing under the Florida Corporation Act and their status is active with full corporate power to own, lease and operate its property, if any, and transact its business in the State of Florida.
2.    Each Subsidiary has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which they are a party and all documents and instruments required in connection therewith, and to perform their obligations thereunder.  
3.     The execution and delivery of the Documents to which each Subsidiary is a party, and the performance of their obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.
4.    The Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each Subsidiary.
5.    The execution, delivery and performance by each Subsidiary of the Documents to which they are, respectively, a party, and the consummation by each Subsidiary of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not: (a) (i) violate their respective Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; or (ii) violate any statute, rule or regulation of the State of Florida which, in our experience, is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Documents; or (b) to our knowledge, violate any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or any arbitral award in the State of Florida.
6.    No approval, order, authorization, consent, license, exemption by, or other action by, or filing, declaration, registration or recording with the State of Florida is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery or consummation by the Subsidiaries of any Documents under the statutes, rules or regulations of the State of Florida, which, in our experience, is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Documents.
7.    Pursuant to the Collateral Agreement (as defined in Exhibit “A”), the Subsidiaries have each granted a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral described in the Collateral Agreement securing the performance of the obligations purported to be secured thereby (the “Security Interest”) to the extent a security interest in the Collateral can be created therein under Article 9 of the Florida UCC.
8.    The Financing Statements attached hereto as Schedule 2 are in proper form for filing in the Recording Office. Upon the filing of the Financing Statements in the Recording Office, describing the applicable collateral in which the Collateral Agent has a security interest, the Security Interest in the Collateral will be perfected to the extent security interests therein can be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing 

Silver Point Finance, LLC
[           ], 201[ ]
Page 3

statements under the Florida UCC in the Recording Office.  The filing of the Financing Statements in the Recording Office are the only filings necessary to perfect, by filing, the Security Interest in those items of the Collateral covered by Article 9 of the Florida UCC, to the extent security interests therein can be perfected by the filing of a UCC-1 financing statements under the Florida UCC.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications:
a.We express no opinion as to the title of any party to property described in the Collateral Agreement, whether real or personal, the accuracy or inadequacy of the description of any of the property described in the Collateral Agreement, whether real or personal. 
b.We express no opinion with respect to the effect of any provision of the Documents which is intended to establish any standard other than a standard set forth in the Florida UCC as the measure of the performance by any party thereto of such party's obligations of good faith, diligence, reasonableness or care or of the fulfillment of the duties imposed on any secured party with respect to the maintenance, disposition or redemption of collateral, accounting for surplus proceeds of collateral or accepting collateral in discharge of liabilities.  We have also assumed that the Collateral Agent will enforce the respective Documents in compliance with the provisions of the Florida UCC and any other provision of applicable law.
c.Our security interest opinions in paragraphs 7 and 8 are limited to Article 9 of the Florida UCC.  We express no opinion with respect to (A) the effect of section 9-315 of the Florida UCC with respect to any proceeds of any Collateral that are not identifiable or (ii) any Article 9 Collateral of a type that is or may become fixtures (as defined in section 102(a)(44) of the Florida UCC).  We express no opinion with respect to transactions excluded from Article 9 of the Florida UCC by section 9‐109 thereof.  Except as expressly set forth in paragraphs 7 and 8, we express no opinion as to the perfection, the effect of perfection or non-perfection and the priority of any security interest that is perfected by any means other than filing a financing statement under the Florida UCC.  Our security interest opinions in paragraphs 7 and 8 are also subject to the following exceptions:  that with respect to (i) federal tax liens accorded priority under law and (ii) liens created under Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 which are properly filed after the date hereof, we express no opinion as to the relative priority of such liens and the security interests created by the Collateral Agreement or as to whether such liens may be adverse claims; and (B) any claim (including for taxes) in favor of any state or any of its respective agencies, authorities, municipalities or political subdivisions which claim is given lien status and/or priority under any law of such state, we express no opinion as to the relative priority of such liens and the security interests created by the Collateral Agreement or as to whether such liens may be adverse claims.
For purposes of the opinions expressed herein, we have assumed with your consent that:

i.The factual statements and information contained in each of the Documents and other documents executed by each Subsidiary in connection with the Documents are accurate and complete.
i.All signatures by parties to the Documents other than those by or on behalf of each Subsidiary are genuine; all documents that have been submitted to us as originals are authentic; and all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies conform to authentic, original documents.
ii.All terms and conditions of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated by the Documents are correctly and completely embodied in the Documents.

[           ], 201[ ]
Page 4

iii.The Documents, and the transactions evidenced thereby, are valid, binding and enforceable against each Subsidiary to the extent that such validity, binding effect and enforceability affect the opinions herein expressed.
iv.Each individual executing the Documents had sufficient legal capacity to execute such documents and perform their obligations thereunder (provided, however, we have no actual knowledge that any such individual lacks legal capacity to do so).
v.All parties have complied with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability.
vi.Each Subsidiary is solvent.
vii.Each Subsidiary has received adequate consideration for entering into the Documents.    
i.The execution and delivery by each Subsidiary of, and the performance by each Subsidiary of their obligations under, the Documents to which they are, respectively, a party do not and will not violate, breach or constitute a default under, or require any consent under: (i) any statute, rule, law or regulation to which each Subsidiary is subject (other than statutes, rules and regulations as to which we express our opinion in clause (a) of paragraph 5 above); or (ii) any order, writ, injunction or decree of any governmental authority or any arbitral award (other than those as to which we express our opinion in clause (b) of paragraph 5 above).

ii.That (i) the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of each Subsidiary has not been amended and that no such amendment is pending or has been proposed, (ii) each Subsidiary is organized solely under the laws of the State of Florida, (iii) there are no proceedings pending or contemplated for (A) the merger, consolidation, conversion, dissolution, liquidation or termination of any Subsidiary, or (B) any Subsidiary's transfer to or domestication in any other jurisdiction and (iv) each Subsidiary has not changed its name whether by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation, by reorganization or otherwise, within the last four months.
iii.The Collateral does not include “as-extracted collateral” and “timber to be cut” as used in the Florida UCC.
This opinion letter is subject to the following limitations:

a.    We express no opinion with respect to the priority of the lien and security interest created by the Documents
b.    We undertake no obligation to advise you of facts or changes in law occurring after the date of this opinion letter which might affect the opinions expressed herein.
c.    For purposes of this opinion letter we further advise you that the term “knowledge” means the current actual knowledge, without any independent verification, of the lawyers who are participating in drafting this opinion letter and in handling the transaction described herein, but does not include, except as specifically provided hereafter, constructive knowledge or inquiry knowledge.

2             LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

 

2.1          Promise to Pay.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

 

2.1.1       Revolving Advances.

 

(a)           Availability.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount.  Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and Bank acknowledge, confirm and agree that on and after the Effective Date, no new Advances shall be made based upon Eligible BWA Accounts.

 

(b)           Termination; Repayment.  The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.

 

2.2          Overadvances.  If, at any time, the outstanding principal amount of any Advances exceeds (a) the lesser of either (i) the Revolving Line or (ii) the Borrowing Base, minus (b) any Reserves, Borrower shall, upon notice from Bank, immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Borrower’s failure to immediately repay any amount due under this Section 2.2 shall constitute an Event of Default for which no grace period or notice requirement shall apply.

 

  

 

  

2.3          Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

 

(a)           Interest Rate.  Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a fixed rate per annum rate equal to seven percent (7.0%).

 

(b)           Default Rate.  Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”) unless Bank otherwise elects from time to time in its sole discretion to impose a smaller increase.  Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations.  Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.

 

(c)           Computation; 360-Day Year.  In computing interest, the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

 

(d)           Debit of Accounts.  Bank may debit Borrower’s Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due.  These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

 

(e)           Interest Payment Date.  Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date.

 

2.4          Fees.  Borrower shall pay to Bank:

 

(a)           Commitment Fee.  A fully earned, non-refundable amendment and restatement fee of One Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($120,000.00), on the Effective Date;

 

(b)           Early Termination Fee.  The Revolving Line may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date as follows: (i) by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank; or (ii) by Bank at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice, effective immediately.  If the Revolving Line is terminated (A) by Bank in accordance with clause (ii) in the foregoing sentence, or (B) by Borrower for any reason, Borrower shall pay to Bank a non-refundable termination fee in an amount equal to the Early Termination Fee.  The Early Termination Fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of such termination and thereafter shall bear interest at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to any of the Obligations; and

 

(c)           Bank Expenses.  All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

 

2.5          Payments. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due.  Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day.  When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.  Bank shall apply the whole or any part of collected funds against the Obligations or credit such collected funds to a depository account of Borrower with Bank (or an account maintained by an Affiliate of Bank), the order and method of such application to be in the sole discretion of Bank.  Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.  Interest is payable monthly on the last calendar day of each month.  In computing interest on the Obligations, all Payments received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day.  In addition, Bank shall be entitled to charge Borrower a “float” charge in an amount equal to three (3) Business Days interest, at the interest rate applicable to the Advances, on all Payments received by Bank.  Said float charge is not included in interest for purposes of computing any minimum monthly interest required hereunder.  The float charge for each month shall be payable on the last day of the month.  Bank shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Bank in its good faith business judgment, and Bank may charge Borrower’s Designated Deposit Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Bank unpaid.

4             CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST  

 

4.1          Grant of Security Interest.  Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.  Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank.  Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that expressly have superior priority to Bank’s Lien in this Agreement).  If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are satisfied in full, and at such time, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, terminate its security interest in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.  In the event (a) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (b) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment  for Bank Services, if any.  In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to (i) one hundred five percent (105.0%) of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and (ii) one hundred ten percent (110.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency plus, in each case, all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit.

 

4.2          Priority of Security Interest.  Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that may have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement).  If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

 

If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash.  Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and shall exercise and deliver any further documentation required in connection with the release of Bank’s Lien in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.

 

4.3          Debenture. Borrower has created, or undertakes to create, or has caused Alvarion Israel (2003) Ltd. to create, as the case may be, in favor of Bank, a first ranking floating charge over all of the present and future assets of Borrower whether now existing or hereafter created, and a first ranking fixed charge over its registered and unissued share capital, its reputation and goodwill, Accounts, intellectual property, listed under Exhibit A-1, and other fixed assets and any tax benefit it may have, in accordance with debentures of floating charge and fixed charge in the form of Debentures listed in Exhibit A-2 and attached as Exhibit F-1 through Exhibit F-8 (jointly, as amended and as may be amended from time to time, the “Debentures” and each, a “Debenture”).

4.4          Security Documents. All Obligations shall be secured by any and all properties, rights and assets of Borrower granted by Borrower to Bank now, or in the future, in which Borrower obtains an interest, or the power to transfer rights, including, without limitation, the Charged Property as set forth in the Debentures, and any and all other security agreements, mortgages or other collateral granted by Borrower to Bank, now or in the future.

4.5          Authorization to File Financing Statements.  Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank.

5             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Except as disclosed in the Perfection Certificate, Borrower represents and warrants to Bank as follows:

 

5.1          Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority.  Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are duly existing and in good standing, if applicable, as Registered Organizations in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good standing in any other jurisdiction in which the conduct of their respective business or ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.  In connection with this Agreement, each Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by such Borrower, entitled Perfection Certificate (collectively, the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement).  If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with Borrower’s organizational identification number.

 

The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect) or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound.  Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

 

5.2          Collateral.  Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens.  Borrower has no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts with Bank, the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith, or of which Borrower has given Bank notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein.

None of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than as provided in the Perfection Certificate or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.

 

All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects.

Each Patent which it owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

5.3          Accounts Receivable.  For any Eligible Account or Eligible BWA Account in any Transaction Report, all statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing such Eligible Accounts or Eligible BWA Accounts are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of Borrower's Books are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be.  Whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may notify any Account Debtor owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Eligible Account or Eligible BWA Account.  All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account or Eligible BWA Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations.  Borrower has no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts or Eligible BWA Accounts in any Transaction Report.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts or Eligible BWA Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

 

5.4          Litigation.  There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than, individually or in the aggregate, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000).

 

5.5          Financial Statements; Financial Condition.  All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Bank fairly present in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations.

5.6          Solvency.  The fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; Borrower is not left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

 

5.7          Regulatory Compliance.  Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors).  Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.  Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005.  Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business.  None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally.  Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Government Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted.

5.9          Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions.  Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports (or extensions thereof), and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by Borrower.  Borrower may defer payment of any contested taxes, provided that Borrower (a) in good faith contests its obligation to pay the taxes by appropriate proceedings promptly and diligently instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Bank in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to prevent the governmental authority levying such contested taxes from obtaining a Lien upon any of the Collateral that is other than a “Permitted Lien”.

(a) Make or permit any payment on any Subordinated Debt, except under the terms of the subordination, intercreditor, or other similar agreement to which such Subordinated Debt is subject, or (b) amend any provision in any document relating to the Subordinated Debt which would adversely affect the subordination thereof to Obligations owed to Bank.

Cure periods provided under this section shall not apply, among other things, to financial covenants or any other covenants set forth in clause (a) above;

 

8.3          Material Adverse Change.  A Material Adverse Change occurs:

 

8.4          Attachment; Levy; Restraint on Business.

8.6          Other Agreements.  There is, under any agreement to which Borrower is a party with a third party or parties, (a) any default resulting in an acceleration of the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount individually or in the aggregate in excess of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00); or (b) any default by Borrower, the result of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business provided, however, that the Event of Default under this Section 8.6 caused by the occurrence of a default under such other agreement shall be cured or waived for purposes of this Agreement upon Bank receiving written notice from the party asserting such default of such cure or waiver of the default under such other agreement, if at the time of such cure or waiver under such other agreement (x) Bank has not declared an Event of Default under this Agreement and/or exercised any rights with respect thereto; (y) any such cure or waiver does not result in an Event of Default under any other provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document; and (z) in connection with any such cure or waiver under such other agreement, the terms of any agreement with such third party are not modified or amended in any manner which could in the good faith judgment of Bank be materially less advantageous to Borrower;

8.7          Judgments.  One or more final judgments, orders, or decrees for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) (not covered by independent third-party insurance as to which liability has been accepted by such insurance carrier) shall be rendered against Borrower and the same are not, within ten (10) days after the entry thereof, discharged or execution thereof stayed or bonded pending appeal, or such judgments are not discharged prior to the expiration of any such stay (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the discharge, stay, or bonding of such judgment, order, or decree);

 

8.8          Misrepresentations.  Borrower or any Person acting for Borrower makes any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to Bank or to induce Bank to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement is incorrect in any material respect when made;

8.10        Opinions.  Any accounting firm retained by Borrower refuses to provide to Borrower an unqualified opinion on its financial statements or provides a qualified opinion on Borrower’s financial statements, including, without limitation, a “going concern” qualification; or

 

8.11        Equity Event.  The Equity Event does not occur on or prior to May 28, 2013.

 

9             BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 

9.1          Rights and Remedies.  While an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

 

(a)           declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

 

(b)           stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

 

(c)           demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to (i) one hundred percent (100.0%) of the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, and (ii) one hundred ten percent (110.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, remaining undrawn (plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment)), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;

 

(d)           terminate any FX Forward Contracts;

 

(e)           settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

 

  

- 19 -

  

(f)            make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral.  Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates.  Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

 

(g)           apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

 

(h)           ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral.  Bank is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

 

(i)            place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

 

(j)            demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and

 

(k)           exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

 

9.2          Power of Attorney.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to:  (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits.  Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder.  Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

 

9.3          Protective Payments.  If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral.  Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter.  No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 

9.4          Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion.  Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency.  If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.

 

  

- 20 -

  

9.5          Bank’s Liability for Collateral.  So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person.  Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

 

9.6          No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith.  No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given.  Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative.  Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code and any other applicable law, by law, or in equity.  Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver.  Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

 

9.7          Demand Waiver.  Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which Borrower is liable, except as mandated by law.

 

9.8          Borrower Liability.  Either Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder.  Each Borrower hereby appoints the other as agent for itself for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder.  Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extensions, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Credit Extensions.  Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Bank to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy.  Bank may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. 

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Bank under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.  Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 9.8 shall be null and void.

11           CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER

 

Massachusetts law governs the Loan Documents (except for the Debentures, which shall be governed by Israeli law) without regard to principles of conflicts of law.  Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Massachusetts; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank.  Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby waives any objection that it 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.  Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided to Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

 

12           GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

12.1        Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party.  Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion).  Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank shall not assign any interest in the Loan Documents to an operating company which is a direct competitor of Borrower.

 

12.2        Indemnification.  Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against:  (a) direct and actual incurred obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with Borrower entering into the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) direct and actual losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower contemplated by the Loan Documents (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided however that Borrower shall have no liability to Bank hereunder to the extent that the same constitute consequential damage to Bank or to the extent such damage, loss or liability of Bank directly results from Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.3        Time of Essence.  Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

 

12.4        Severability of Provisions.  Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

 

12.5        Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration.  No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document.  Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver.  The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements.  All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

 

12.6        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

 

12.7        Survival.  All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full and satisfied.  The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.  Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, the grant of security interest by Borrower in Section 4.1 shall survive until the termination of all Bank Services Agreements.

 

12.8        Confidentiality.  In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Bank, collectively, “Bank Entities”); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall use its best efforts to obtain any prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision and that any prospective transferee or purchaser shall have entered into an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those in this Section); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein.  Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

 

Bank Entities may use the confidential information for reporting purposes and the development and distribution of databases and market analyses so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower.  The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations.  ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

 

12.10     Electronic Execution of Documents.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Borrower and Bank hereby agree that, effective upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each such party, the terms and provisions of the Prior Loan Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, restated and superseded in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations of Borrower outstanding under the Prior Loan Agreement or instruments securing the same, which obligations shall remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that the terms thereof are modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith.

Each Borrower hereby (i) confirms and agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and after the Effective Date all references in any such Loan Document to the “Loan and Security Agreement”, the “Loan Agreement” the “Agreement”, “thereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Prior Loan Agreement shall mean the Prior Loan Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement; and (ii) confirms and agrees that to the extent that the Prior Loan Agreement or any Loan Document executed in connection therewith purports to assign or pledge to the Bank, or to grant to the Bank a security interest in or lien on, any collateral as security for the Obligations of Borrower or any guarantor from time to time existing in respect of the Prior Loan Agreement, such pledge, assignment or grant of the security interest or lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall remain effective as of the first date it became effective.
