SECTION 2.1. Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) Each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make loans (the "Revolving Credit Loans") to the Borrower, on any Business Day and from time to time on or after the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, each in an aggregate principal amount which when added to the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding to the Borrower from such Lender plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the then current L/C Exposure, does not exceed such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow amounts constituting the Total Revolving Credit Commitments.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1, (and subject to Section 12.1(ix) hereof), a Lender shall not be obligated to make any additional Loans if, as a result thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding plus the then current L/C Exposure, exceeds the Total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.

(d) Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith; provided that all Borrowings made on the Closing Date must be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans unless the Borrower shall have provided three Business Days' prior notice thereof and shall have agreed on or prior to the date of the request to protect the Lenders against the failure to borrow a LIBOR Loan on the date requested on terms substantially similar to those contained in Section 2.10(b). Subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.1, Section 2.7(b), Section 2.8(b), Section 2.9 and Section 2.11, Loans of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time.

(e) Each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder on any date shall be made by each Lender in accordance with its respective Revolving Credit Percentage.

(f) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written, facsimile or telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) notice of each Borrowing hereunder; such notice shall be irrevocable and to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, (i) in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, on the Business Day preceding the date on which such Loan is to be made and (ii) in the case of LIBOR Loans, on the third Business Day preceding the date on which such Loan is to be made. Such notice shall specify (A) the amount of the requested Loan, (B) the date on which such Loan is to be made (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) whether the Loan then being requested is to be (or what portion or portions thereof are to be) an Alternate Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan and the Interest Period or Interest Periods with respect thereto in the case of LIBOR Loans. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, if no election of an Interest Period is specified in such notice, such notice shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month. If no election is made as to the Type of any Loan, such notice shall be deemed a request for an Alternate Base Rate Loan.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its proportionate share of each Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing, the Type of each Loan being requested and the Interest Periods applicable thereto. On the borrowing date specified in such notice, each Lender shall make its share of the Borrowing available at the office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Loan Services Group, 21 South Clark Street, 17th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60603, Attention: Sharon Bosch, for credit to the Chase Clearing Account and in each case, no later than 12:00 noon New York City time, in Federal or other immediately available funds.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall not, in any notice of borrowing under this Section 2.1 request any LIBOR Loan which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than six (6) separate LIBOR Loans of any Lender being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, LIBOR Loans having Interest Periods commencing or ending on different days shall be considered separate LIBOR Loans.

(i) The aggregate amount of any Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 and the aggregate amount of any Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 (or such lesser amount as shall equal (i) the available but unused portion of the Total Commitment then in effect or (ii) the amount of any Borrowing to fund drawings under Letters of Credit).

(j) The Administrative Agent shall disburse the proceeds of Loans by depositing them directly to the account specified to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in writing.

(k) The Borrower shall not be entitled to request that any credit be advanced hereunder (whether by advance of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit) more frequently

than once per week; provided, however, that neither the continuation or conversion of a Loan hereunder, nor the repayment of funds advanced by the Issuing Bank pursuant to any drawing under a Letter of Credit shall be considered for purposes of the limitations of this paragraph (k).

SECTION 2.2. Term Loans.

(a) Each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment, severally and not jointly, agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make a loan (collectively, the "Term Loans") to Borrower on the Closing Date in the amount of such Lender's Term Loan Commitment.

(b) Once repaid, amounts constituting the Term Loan Commitment may not be reborrowed.

The outstanding principal balance of each Loan as may be evidenced by a Note shall be payable in full on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, subject to mandatory prepayment as provided in Section 2.10 hereof and acceleration as provided in Article 7 hereof.

(b) Any Lender may request that the Term Loan made by such Lender be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto (each a "Term Loan Note") in the face amount of such Lender's Term Loan Commitment, payable to such Lender, duly executed on behalf of the Borrower and dated as of the date hereof. The principal amount of the Term Loans shall be payable on the dates indicated below to that extent that the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans on such dates exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount thereof listed opposite such date in the table below:

Payment Date	Outstanding Principal Balance
April 13, 2011	$	157,500,000
April 13, 2012	$	122,500,000
April 13, 2013	$	0

(c) Each of the Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.5 hereof. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent on its behalf is hereby authorized by the Borrower, but not obligated, to enter the amount of each Loan and the amount of each payment or prepayment of principal or interest thereon in the appropriate spaces on the reverse of or on an attachment to its Notes, if any; provided, however, that the

failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to set forth such Loans, principal payments or other information shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay such Loans.

SECTION 2.5. Interest on Loans.

(a) In the case of a LIBOR Loan, interest shall be payable at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. Interest shall be payable on each LIBOR Loan on each applicable Interest Payment Date, on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, and on the date of a conversion of such LIBOR Loan to an Alternate Base Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall determine the applicable LIBOR for each Interest Period as soon as practicable on the date when such determination is to be made in respect of such Interest Period and shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate so determined. Such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) In the case of an Alternate Base Rate Loan, interest shall be payable at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days for Federal Funds Effective Rate loans, and over a year of 365/366 days for Prime Rate loans) equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Alternate Base Rate Loan on each applicable Interest Payment Date and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or the Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable.

(c) Anything in this Credit Agreement or any Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the interest rate on the Loans or with respect to any drawing under a Letter of Credit shall in no event be in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law.

SECTION 2.6. Commitment Fees and Other Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in each year (commencing on the last Business Day of June 2007) prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, an aggregate fee (the "Commitment Fees") of 0.375 of 1% per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the preceding period or quarter over a year of 365/366 days, as the case may be, on the average daily amount by which such Lender's Commitment, as such Commitment may be reduced in accordance with the provisions of this Credit Agreement, exceeds the sum of the principal balance of such Lender's outstanding Loans plus such Lender's Pro Rata Share of all L/C Exposure during the preceding period or quarter.

(b) The Commitment Fees shall commence to accrue from the Closing Date.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date any and all other fees that are then due and payable by it to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, or any commitment letter or any fee letter in respect of the Facilities.

SECTION 2.7. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Upon at least three Business Days' prior written, facsimile or telephonic notice (provided, that such telephonic notice is immediately followed by written or facsimile confirmation) to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. In the case of a partial reduction, each such reduction of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple thereof; provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced by more than the amount of the then unused Revolving Credit Commitments and may not be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding plus the then current L/C Exposure. Any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages.

(b) Simultaneously with each such termination or reduction of the Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender all accrued and unpaid Commitment Fees on the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments so terminated or reduced through the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.8. Default Interest; Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) If the Borrower shall default in the payment when due of the principal of, or interest on any Loan becoming due hereunder, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, or the payment of any other amount becoming due hereunder after written notification from the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of such amount, the Borrower shall on demand in writing from time to time pay interest, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on all overdue amounts outstanding from the due date thereof up to the date of actual payment of such defaulted amount (after as well as before judgment) (i) for the overdue principal or interest in respect of any LIBOR Loan, at 2% in excess of the rate then in effect for each such LIBOR Loan, and (ii) for the overdue principal or interest in respect of any Alternate Base Rate Loan and for all other overdue amounts hereunder, at 2% in excess of the rate then in effect for Alternate Base Rate Loans.

(b) In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender of such Lender's determination (which determination, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive) that Dollar deposits in the amount of the principal amount of such LIBOR Loan are not generally available in the London Interbank Market or that the rate at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining the principal amount of such LIBOR Loan during such Interest Period, or (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have determined that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or facsimile notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders, and any request by the Borrower for a LIBOR Loan (or conversion to or continuation as a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof), made after receipt of such notice and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, shall be deemed to be a request for an Alternate Base Rate Loan; provided, however, that in the circumstances described in clause (i) above such deemed request shall only apply to the affected

Lender's portion thereof. After such notice shall have been given and until the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, each request (or portion thereof, as the case may be) for a LIBOR Loan, to the extent such request relates to such affected Lender's portion shall be deemed to be a request for an Alternate Base Rate Loan.

SECTION 2.9. Continuation and Conversion of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, at any time, (i) to convert any LIBOR Loan or portion thereof to an Alternate Base Rate Loan or to continue such LIBOR Loan or a portion thereof for a successive Interest Period, or (ii) to convert any Alternate Base Rate Loan or a portion thereof to a LIBOR Loan, subject to the following:

(a) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written, facsimile or telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) notice of each continuation or conversion hereunder of at least three Business Days for continuation as or conversion to a LIBOR Loan; such notice shall be irrevocable and to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent on the day required not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time;

(c) no Alternate Base Rate Loan may be converted to a LIBOR Loan and no LIBOR Loan may be continued as a LIBOR Loan if, after such conversion or continuance, and after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Loans, an aggregate of more than six (6) separate LIBOR Loans would be outstanding hereunder with respect to each Lender (for purposes of determining the number of such Loans outstanding, Loans with different Interest Periods shall be counted as different Loans even if made on the same date);

(d) if fewer than all Loans at the time outstanding shall be continued or converted, such continuation or conversion shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective Percentage of the principal amount of such Loans held by the Lenders immediately prior to such continuation or conversion;

(e) the aggregate principal amount of Loans continued as or converted to LIBOR Loans as part of the same Borrowing shall be $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000;

(i) each request for a continuation as or conversion to a LIBOR Loan which fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month; and

(j) in the event that the Borrower shall not give notice to continue or convert any LIBOR Loan as provided above, such Loan (unless repaid) shall automatically be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the expiration of the then current Interest Period.

The Administrative Agent shall, after it receives notice from the Borrower, promptly give the Lenders notice of any continuation or conversion.

SECTION 2.10. Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayment of Loans; Reimbursement of Lenders.

(a) Subject to the terms of paragraph (b) of this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall have the right at its option at any time and from time to time to prepay without premium or penalty (i) any Alternate Base Rate Loan, in whole or in part, upon at least one Business Day's prior written, telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent, in the principal amount of $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 if prepaid in part, or the remaining balance of such Loan if prepaid in full, and (ii) any LIBOR Loan, in whole or in part, upon at least three Business Days' prior written, telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) or facsimile notice, in the principal amount of $500,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 if prepaid in part, or the remaining balance of such Loan if prepaid in full. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, each Loan to be prepaid and the principal amount thereof, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Loan in the amount and on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.10(a) shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to (but not including) the date of prepayment.

(b) The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender on demand for any loss (excluding the loss of the Applicable Margin) incurred or to be incurred by any such Lender in the reemployment of the funds released (i) by any prepayment (for any reason) of any LIBOR Loan if such Loan is repaid prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, or (ii) in the event that after the Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under Section 2.1(f) or Section 2.9(a) in respect of LIBOR Loans, such Loan is not made, converted to or continued as a LIBOR Loan on the first day of the Interest Period specified in such notice of borrowing for any reason other than (A) a breach by any such Lender of its obligation to fund such borrowing when it is otherwise required to do so hereunder, or (B) a repayment resulting from a conversion required by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a). Such loss shall be the amount as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of (I) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount so paid or not borrowed, continued or converted at a rate of interest equal to the interest rate applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.5, for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow, continue or convert to the last day (x) in the case of a payment prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, of the then current Interest Period for such Loan, or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, continue or convert, of the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to

borrow, continue or convert, over (II) the amount realized or to be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds not advanced or the funds received in prepayment or realized from the Loan not so continued or converted during the period referred to above. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of computation thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amounts shown on such certificate within thirty (30) days of the Borrower's receipt of such certificate.

(c) In the event the Borrower fails to prepay any Loan on the date specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.10(a), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any actual loss incurred by such Lender as a result of such failure to prepay including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expenses incurred by reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by such Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such prepayment. Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss (and in reasonable detail the manner of computation thereof) as determined by such Lender, which certificates shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amounts shown on such certificate within ten (10) Business Days of the Borrower's receipt of such certificate.

(d) Any remaining Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be paid in full on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Any remaining Obligations under the Term Loan Facility shall be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(e) If at any time the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans, plus (ii) the L/C Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Base as set forth on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day either (x) eliminate such excess by repaying Loans outstanding in an amount at least equal to such excess amount, provide cash collateral for any outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to such excess amount or otherwise eliminate such excess or (y) provide an updated Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that such excess no longer exists.

(f) The Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to (i) 100% of the Net Proceeds from Dispositions by any Credit Party; provided however, that the Borrower shall have no obligation to prepay any portion of the Net Proceeds from such Dispositions if (x) the Borrower or the relevant Credit Party, as applicable, reinvests such Net Proceeds in, or enters into a binding agreement to acquire with such Net Proceeds, Productive Assets and/or Permitted Business Acquisitions within three hundred and sixty (360) days of such Disposition (y) the Borrowing Base after giving effect to such Disposition is at least 125% of the aggregate Commitments or (z) such Disposition is in connection with the sale or license of any Item of Product in the ordinary course of business or in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction or similar financial incentive transaction as permitted herein and (ii) 100% of the Net Proceeds from issuance of any Indebtedness for borrowed money by any Credit Party (other than Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 6.1).

(g) Simultaneously with each termination and/or optional reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to Section 2.7, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders an amount equal to the excess of (i) the sum of aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the L/C Exposure over (ii) the reduced Revolving Credit Commitment.

(h) Unless otherwise designated in writing by the Borrower, all prepayments required by this Section 2.10 other than subsections (e) and (g), shall be applied first to those amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility until the Term Loan Facility has been paid in full, and then second to the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans then maintained as Alternate Base Rate Loans by the Borrower, and then third to the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans then maintained as LIBOR Loans by the Borrower in order of the scheduled expiry of Interest Periods with respect thereto; provided that, payments with respect to loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility shall not reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments. All prepayments required by Section 2.10(e) or (g) hereof shall be applied first to the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans then maintained as Alternate Base Rate Loans by the Borrower, and then second to the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans then maintained as LIBOR Loans by the Borrower in order of the scheduled expiry of Interest Periods with respect thereto and third, in the case of Section 2.10(e) only, to those amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Facility.

(i) All prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to but not including the date of prepayment.

(j) If on any day on which the Loans would otherwise be required to be prepaid but for the operation of this Section 2.10(j) (each a "Prepayment Date"), the amount of such required prepayment exceeds the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Loans that constitute Alternate Base Rate Loans, and no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, then on such Prepayment Date the Borrower may, at its option, deposit Dollars into the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to such excess. If the Borrower makes such deposit then (i) only the outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be required to be prepaid on such Prepayment Date and (ii) on the last day of each Interest Period with respect to any LIBOR Loan in effect after such Prepayment Date, the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized and directed to apply funds from the Cash Collateral Account, if any, (and liquidate investments held in such Cash Collateral Account as necessary) to prepay LIBOR Loans for which the Interest Period is then ending until the aggregate of such prepayments equals the prepayment which would have been required on such Prepayment Date but for the operation of this Section 2.10(j).

(k) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article 2, should any payment or prepayment of principal of or interest on the Loans or any other amount due hereunder, become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date of such payment or prepayment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a payment or prepayment of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate herein specified during such extension.

SECTION 2.11. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i)

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 reflected in the LIBOR) or the Issuing Bank; or

(ii)

impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London Interbank Market any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

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 of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such compensation to any Lender or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, on account of any Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.11 and Taxes shall be solely governed by Section 2.14.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, the changes as a result of which such amounts are due and the manner of computing such amounts, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's right to demand such compensation.

(e) The Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees that with reasonable promptness after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that (i) would cause it to incur any increased cost hereunder or render it unable to perform its agreements hereunder for the reasons specifically set forth in Section 2.8(b), this Section 2.11 or Section 2.12 or (ii) would require the Borrower to pay an increased amount under Section 2.8(b), this Section 2.11 or Section 2.14, it will use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of such event or condition and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Issuing Bank's or such Lender's internal policies, will use its reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Loans of such Lender, or if applicable, to issue, make, maintain or participate in Letters of Credit as required under Section 2.16, through another Lending Office of the Issuing Bank or such Lender if as a result thereof the additional monies which would otherwise be required to be paid or the reduction of amounts receivable by the Issuing Bank or such Lender thereunder in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit or participations therein would be materially reduced, or such inability to perform would cease to exist, or the increased costs which would otherwise be required to be paid in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit or participations therein pursuant to Section 2.8(b), this Section 2.11 or Section 2.14 would be materially reduced or taxes or other amounts otherwise payable under Section 2.8(b), this Section 2.11 or Section 2.14 would be materially reduced, and if, as determined by the Issuing Bank or such Lender, in its discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Loans, or the issuance, making, maintaining or participation in such Letters of Credit, through such other Lending Office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Loans or Letters of Credit, or the Issuing Bank or such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a failure on the part of any Lender to provide notice or take any other action pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) shall not affect the Borrower's obligation to make any payments or deductions required by this Article 2.

SECTION 2.12. Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Credit Agreement, if any change after the date hereof in Applicable Law, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, 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 a LIBOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Lender may (i) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder for as long as such condition may be continuing, and/or (ii) require that, subject to Section 2.10(b), all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans, whereupon all of such LIBOR Loans shall automatically be converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below. Such Lender's pro rata portion of any subsequent LIBOR Loan shall, instead, be an Alternate Base Rate Loan unless such declaration is subsequently withdrawn.

(b) A notice to the Borrower by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (a) above shall be effective for purposes of clause (ii) thereof, if lawful, on the last day of the current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan; and in all other cases, on the date of receipt of such notice by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.13. Manner of Payments. All payments of principal and interest by the Borrower in respect of (i) any Revolving Credit Loans shall be pro rata among the Lenders holding such Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with the then outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans held by them and (ii) any Term Loans shall be pro rata among the Lenders holding such Term Loans in accordance with the then outstanding principal amounts of such Term Loans held by them. All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds at the office of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., JPMorgan Loan Services Group, 21 South Clark Street, 17th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60603, Attention: Sharon Bosch for credit to the JPMorgan Clearing Account no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such payment shall be due. Interest in respect of any Loan hereunder shall accrue from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date on which such Loan is paid or converted to a Loan of a different Type.

SECTION 2.14. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law 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, Lender or Issuing Bank (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 shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower 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, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, except for penalties, interest and expenses to the extent arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower 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) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Credit Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the Initial Date with respect to such Lender (and from time to time thereafter at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), such properly completed and duly executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Initial Date with respect to such Lender (and promptly from time to time thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered, if any form previously delivered becomes inaccurate or upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), two copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN;

(iv) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY together with the additional documentation that must be transmitted with Form W-8IMY, including the appropriate forms described in Sections 2.14(e)(i), (ii) and (iii); or

(v) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certificate (or any other form or certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

Any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender and has not otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is an exempt recipient (as defined in section 6049(b)(4) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the Initial Date with respect to such Lender (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by Applicable Law or upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two duly executed and properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form). Each Lender (other than a Foreign Lender) shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence, invalidity or inaccuracy of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Each Lender (other than a Foreign Lender) shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time that it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certification (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

(f) If the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of or any credit for any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay over such refund or credit to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank 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, Issuing Bank or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank 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.

(g) Each Lender agrees that when it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event that would cause the Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 2.14, it will notify the Borrower of such event and, to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender's internal policies, will use it reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain the affected Loans of such Lender or, if applicable, to participate in Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank through another Lending Office of such Lender or the Issuing Bank if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid by reason of Section 2.14(a) in respect of such Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein would be materially reduced, and if, as determined by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, in its discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Loans or Letters of Credit or participations therein through such other Lending Office would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Loans or Letters of Credit or participations therein or such Lender of the Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a failure on the part of any Lender to provide notice pursuant to this Section 2.14(g) shall not affect the Borrower's obligation to make any payments or deductions required by Section 2.14(a).

SECTION 2.15. Interest Adjustments.

(a) If the provisions of this Credit Agreement or any Note would at any time require payment by the Borrower to a Lender of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount then permitted by the law applicable to any Loan, the interest payments to that Lender shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that such Lender shall not receive interest in excess of such maximum amount. If, as a result of the foregoing, a Lender shall receive interest payments hereunder or under a Note in an amount less than the amount otherwise provided hereunder, such deficit (hereinafter called the "Interest Deficit") will, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, cumulate and will be carried forward (without interest) until the termination of this Credit Agreement. Interest otherwise payable to a Lender hereunder and under a Note for any subsequent period shall be increased by the maximum amount of the Interest Deficit that may be so added without causing such Lender to receive interest in excess of the maximum amount then permitted by the law applicable to the Loans.

(b) The amount of any Interest Deficit relating to one of the two tranches (i.e., Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans) shall be treated as a prepayment penalty and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be paid in full to the Lenders holding Loans of such tranche at the time of any optional prepayment (and, with regard to the Revolving Credit Loans, an optional termination in full of the Revolving Credit Commitments) by the Borrower of all Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, at that time outstanding pursuant to Section 2.10(a) hereof. The amount of any Interest Deficit relating to a particular Revolving Credit Loan and Revolving Credit Note or a Term Loan and Term Loan Note, as applicable, at the time of any complete payment of such Loans at that time outstanding (other than an optional prepayment thereof pursuant to Section 2.10(a) hereof) shall be canceled and not paid.

SECTION 2.16. Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and of Applicable Law, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit payable in Dollars from time to time after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower, provided, however, that (A) the Borrower shall not request that any Letter of Credit be issued if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of the then current L/C Exposure, plus the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, would exceed the lesser of (i) the then current amount of the Borrowing Base minus the then outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, and (B) in no event shall the Issuing Bank issue any Letter of Credit having an expiration date (x) later than five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or pursuant to which drafts drawn thereunder would be payable later than five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or (y) more than one year after its issuance (or extension); provided that, subject to the foregoing (including without the limitation in clause (x)), a standby Letter of Credit may by its terms be automatically extended for one or more successive periods each not to exceed one year.

(b) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have

irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit in accordance with such Lender's Revolving Credit Percentage.

(c) Each Letter of Credit may, at the option of the Issuing Bank, provide that the Issuing Bank may (but shall not be required to) pay all or any part of the maximum amount which may at any time be available for drawing thereunder to the beneficiary thereof upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, provided that, if payment is not then due to the beneficiary, the Issuing Bank may deposit the funds in question in a segregated account with the Issuing Bank to secure payment to the beneficiary and any funds so deposited shall be paid to the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit if conditions to such payment are satisfied or returned to the Issuing Bank (or, (x) if all Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, to the Borrower or (y) if the Lenders shall have reimbursed the Issuing Bank for such amounts pursuant to the terms hereof, to the Lenders) if no payment to the beneficiary has been made and the final date available for drawings under the Letter of Credit has passed. Each payment or deposit of funds by the Issuing Bank as provided in this paragraph shall be treated for all purposes of this Credit Agreement as a drawing duly honored by the Issuing Bank under the related Letter of Credit.

(d) Whenever the Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent a written notice no later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance. Such notice shall specify (i) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the face amount of the Letter of Credit, (iii) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit and (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary. Such notice shall be accompanied by a brief description of the underlying transaction and upon request of the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall provide additional details regarding the underlying transaction. Concurrently with the giving of written notice of a request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall specify a precise description of the documents and the verbatim text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit which, if presented by such beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, would require the Issuing Bank to make payment under the Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank, in its reasonable discretion, may require customary changes in any such documents and certificates. Promptly after receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the issuance and the amount of each such Lender's respective participation therein. At the Borrower's request, the Issuing Bank shall provide the Borrower with a copy of the form of Letter of Credit to be issued for the Borrower's review and approval prior to issuance.

(e) The payment of drafts under any Letter of Credit shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, UCP 500, promulgated by the International Chamber of Commerce, as adopted or amended from time to time and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York. The Issuing Bank shall be entitled to honor any drafts and accept any documents presented to it by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit and believed by the Issuing Bank in good faith to be genuine. The Issuing Bank shall not have any duty to inquire as to the accuracy or authenticity of any draft or other drawing documents which may be presented to it, but shall be responsible only to determine in accordance with customary commercial practices that the documents which are

required to be presented before payment or acceptance of a draft under any Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of that Letter of Credit.

(f) If the Issuing Bank shall make payment on any draft presented under a Letter of Credit (regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default or acceleration has occurred), the Issuing Bank shall give notice of such payment to the Lenders and each Lender hereby authorizes and requests the Issuing Bank to advance for its account pursuant to the terms hereof its share of such payment based upon its participation in the Letter of Credit and agrees promptly to reimburse the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds for the Dollar equivalent of the amount so advanced on its behalf. If such reimbursement is not made by any Lender in immediately available funds on the same day on which the Issuing Bank shall have made payment on any such draft, such Lender shall pay interest thereof to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Issuing Bank's cost of obtaining overnight funds in the New York Federal Funds Market. In the case of any draft presented under a Letter of Credit which is required to be paid at any time on or before the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, such payment of the unreimbursed draft shall constitute an Alternate Base Rate Loan hereunder and interest shall accrue from the date the Issuing Bank makes payment of a draft under the Letter of Credit.

(g) Subject to provisions of Section 2.16(e), the Borrower is absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably obligated to reimburse all amounts drawn under each Letter of Credit. If any draft is presented under a Letter of Credit, payment of which is required to be made after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or when there is insufficient availability under the Facility, then the Borrower will, upon demand by the Issuing Bank, pay to the Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds, the full amount of such draft (or in the case of insufficient availability, the amount of such deficiency) on the same Business Day if such notice is received prior to 12:00 noon, New York City Time, on such day or, if notice is received later than such time, on the immediately following Business Day. If such payment is not made by the Borrower and the Issuing Bank shall make payment on any draft presented under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall give notice of such payment to the Lenders and each Lender hereby authorizes and requests the Issuing Bank to advance for its account pursuant to the terms thereof its share of such payment based upon its participation in the Letter of Credit and agrees promptly to reimburse the Issuing Bank in immediately available funds for the Dollar equivalent of the amount so advanced on its behalf. If such reimbursement is not made by any Lender in immediately available funds on the same day on which the Issuing Bank shall have made payment on any such draft, such Lender shall pay interest thereon to the Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the Issuing Bank's cost of obtaining overnight funds in the New York Federal Funds Market. Such payment shall constitute an Alternate Base Rate Loan hereunder and interest shall accrue from the date the Issuing Bank makes payment of a draft under the Letter of Credit at the rate specified in Section 2.5.

(h) (i) The Borrower agrees to pay the following amount to the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it hereunder:

A. with respect to the issuance, amendment, transfer or any other transaction related to each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with the

Issuing Bank's standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be; and

B. a fronting fee payable to the Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the date of expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum of the L/C Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit, such fee to be due and payable in arrears on and through the last Business Day of each calendar quarter prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

(ii)

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender in respect of its L/C Exposure, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of a commission calculated at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility (calculated in the same manner as interest) of the undrawn portion of the L/C Exposure. Such commission shall be payable in arrears on and through the last Business Day of each calendar quarter prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

(iii)

Promptly upon receipt by the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, of any amount described in clause (ii) of this Section 2.16(h), or any amount described in Section 2.16(g) previously reimbursed to the Issuing Bank by the Lenders, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount. Amounts payable under clauses (i)(A) and (i)(B) of this Section 2.16(h) shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank and shall be for its exclusive use.

(i) If at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Letters of Credit shall remain outstanding, then the Required Lenders or the Issuing Bank may, at their or its option, require the Borrower to deliver to the Issuing Bank cash or Cash Equivalents in an amount equal to the full amount of the L/C Exposure or to furnish other security acceptable to the Issuing Bank. Any amounts so delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of any drawings honored under Letters of Credit; provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default is then continuing at the time of any such delivery of Cash Equivalents or any such furnishing of other security, the Issuing Bank shall return all of such collateral relating to such deposit to the Borrower upon request.

(j) If at any time that any Letter of Credit is outstanding, the sum of the L/C Exposure, plus the principal amount of all Loans outstanding exceeds the Borrowing Base, then the Required Lenders or the Issuing Bank may, at their or its option, require a prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10(e) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess or to furnish other security for such excess acceptable to the Issuing Bank. Any amounts so delivered

pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of any drawings honored under Letters of Credit; provided, however, that if subsequent to any such deposit such excess is reduced to an amount less than the amount of such deposited amounts and no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to receive such excess collateral if requested by it.

SECTION 2.17. Provisions Relating to the Borrowing Base.

(a) The Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may from time to time by written notice to the Borrower (i) delete any Person or Affiliated Group from the schedule of Acceptable Obligors or (ii) decrease the Allowable Amount for any Acceptable Obligor, in each case, as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, acting in good faith may deem appropriate as a result of a change in the circumstances of such Person or Affiliated Group. Any such notice shall be prospective only, i.e., to the extent that giving effect to such notice would otherwise result in a mandatory prepayment by the Borrower under Section 2.10(e), such notice shall not be given effect for purposes of such mandatory prepayment, but shall nevertheless be effective for all other purposes under this Credit Agreement immediately upon the Borrower's receipt of such notice. In the event any such action is taken pursuant to this clause (a), the Administrative Agent, to the extent practicable, will provide the Borrower with the reasons for such action.

(b) The Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may (either independently or after a request has been received from the Borrower) from time to time by written notice to the Borrower add or reinstate a Person or Affiliated Group to the schedule of Acceptable Obligors or increase the Allowable Amount for any Acceptable Obligor, as they may in their discretion deem appropriate.

(c) In the event the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notifies the Borrower that a Person or Affiliated Group is to be deleted as an Acceptable Obligor in accordance with Section 2.17(a), no additional Eligible Receivables from such Person or Affiliated Group may be included in the Borrowing Base subsequent to such notice unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders thereafter notifies the Borrower that such Person or Affiliated Group is reinstated as an Acceptable Obligor in accordance with Section 2.17(b). In the event the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Borrower that the Allowable Amount with respect to an Acceptable Obligor is to be reduced in accordance with Section 2.17(a), no additional Eligible Receivables from such Acceptable Obligor may be included in the Borrowing Base subsequent to such notice if such inclusion would result in the aggregate amount of Eligible Receivables from such Acceptable Obligor being in excess of the Allowable Amount for such Acceptable Obligor after giving effect to such reduction unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders thereafter notifies the Borrower that the Allowable Amount for such Acceptable Obligor is increased in accordance with Section 2.17(b).

(d) Schedule 2 to the Credit Agreement may be modified from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (acting, to the extent required by Sections 2.17(a) and (b), with the consent of or at the direction of, the Required Lenders) to reflect additions, deletions or reinstatements of Persons or Affiliated Groups to (or from) the list of Acceptable Obligors in accordance with Sections 2.17(a) and (b).

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE CREDIT PARTIES

A list of such jurisdictions as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Schedule 3.1.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under Article 9 of the UCC and under any other Applicable Law.

SECTION 8.13. Quiet Enjoyment. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that their security interest hereunder is subject to the rights of Quiet Enjoyment (as defined below) of parties (which are not Affiliates of any Credit Party) to Distribution Agreements, whether existing on the date hereof or hereafter executed. For the purpose hereof, "Quiet Enjoyment" shall mean in connection with the rights of a licensee (which is not an Affiliate of any Credit Party) under a Distribution Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders' agreement that their rights under this Credit Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents and in the Collateral are subject to the

101

rights of such licensee to distribute, exhibit and/or to exploit the Item of Product licensed to them under such Distribution Agreement, and to receive prints or tapes and other delivery items or have access to preprint material or master tapes and other items to which they are entitled in connection therewith and that even if the Lenders shall become the owner of the Collateral in case of an Event of Default, the Lenders' ownership rights shall be subject to the rights of said parties under such agreement; provided, however, that such licensee shall not be in default under the relevant Distribution Agreement. The Administrative Agent agrees that, upon the reasonable request of a Credit Party, it will provide written confirmation (in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) of such rights of Quiet Enjoyment to licensees under the Distribution Agreements. None of the foregoing constitutes an agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders to the granting of any security interest to any Person under any Distribution Agreement, except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.2.

SECTION 8.14. Continuation and Reinstatement. Each Credit Party further agrees that the security interest granted hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or any part thereof of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party or otherwise.

9. GUARANTY

SECTION 9.1. Guaranty.

(a) Each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders the due and punctual payment by, and performance of, the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of the obligor whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be increased, extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it (except as may be otherwise required herein), and it will remain bound upon this Guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

(b) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand for payment from and protest to, as the case may be, any Credit Party or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment, notice of acceleration and notice of intent to accelerate. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other guarantor under the provisions of this Credit Agreement or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders to obtain the consent the Guarantor with respect to any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or of any other agreement; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of any security held by the Administrative Agent for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders to exercise any right or remedy against any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations; or (vi) the release or substitution of any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations.

102

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees that this Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of performance and of payment when due and not just of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit, account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in favor of the Borrower, or any Guarantor, or to any other Person.

(d) Each Guarantor hereby expressly assumes all responsibilities to remain informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors and any other guarantors of the Obligations and any circumstances affecting the Collateral or the Pledged Securities or the ability of the Borrower to perform under this Credit Agreement.

(e) Each Guarantor's obligations under the Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations, the Notes or any other instrument evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor or by any other circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to this Guaranty. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders make no representation or warranty with respect to any such circumstances and have no duty or responsibility whatsoever to any Guarantor in respect to the management and maintenance of the Obligations or any collateral security for the Obligations.

SECTION 9.2. No Impairment of Guaranty, etc. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (except payment and performance in full of the Obligations), including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense (other than payment in full) or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Credit Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision hereof or thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law, unless and until the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments have terminated.

SECTION 9.3. Continuation and Reinstatement, etc.

(a) Each Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or a Guarantor, or otherwise. In furtherance of the provisions of this Article 9, and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders may have at law or in equity against the Borrower, a Guarantor or any other Person by virtue hereof, upon failure of the Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether

103

at maturity, by acceleration, after notice or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders, forthwith pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders (as applicable) in cash an amount equal to the unpaid amount of such unpaid Obligations with interest thereon from the due date at a rate of interest equal to the rate specified in Section 2.8(a) hereof, and thereupon the Administrative Agent shall assign such Obligation, together with all security interests, if any, then held by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Obligation, to the Guarantor or Guarantors making such payment; such assignment to be subordinate and junior to the rights of the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with regard to amounts payable by the Borrower in connection with the remaining unpaid Obligations and to be pro tanto to the extent to which the Obligation in question was discharged by the Guarantor or Guarantors making such payments.

(b) All rights of each Guarantor against the Borrower, arising as a result of the payment by such Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and/or the Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders or directly to the Lenders hereunder by way of right of subrogation or otherwise, shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to, and shall not be exercised by such Guarantor until and unless, the prior final payment in full of all the Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor for the account of the Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, segregated from such Guarantor's own assets, and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent and/or the Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

SECTION 9.4. Limitation on Guaranteed Amount, etc. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations under this Article 9 shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or to being set aside or annulled under any Applicable Law relating to fraud on creditors. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor's obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Article 9, any other agreement or Applicable Law shall be taken into account.

10. PLEDGE

SECTION 10.1. Pledge. Each Pledgor, as security for the due and punctual payment of the Obligations (including interest accruing on and after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or of reorganization of the Borrower whether or not post filing interest is allowed in such proceeding) in the case of the Borrower, and as security for its obligations hereunder in the case of a Pledgor other than the Borrower, hereby pledges, hypothecates, assigns, transfers, sets over and delivers unto the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, a security interest in all Pledged Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by it. On the Closing Date, the Pledgors shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of all Pledged Securities other than in Foreign Subsidiaries, on the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of all Pledged Securities in Foreign Subsidiaries, within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing

104

Date, in each case the definitive instruments (if any) representing all Pledged Securities, accompanied by undated stock powers (in the case of Pledged Securities comprising capital stock), duly endorsed or executed in blank by the appropriate Pledgor, and such other instruments or documents as the Administrative Agent or its counsel shall reasonably request.

SECTION 10.2. Covenant. Each Pledgor covenants that as the owner of Equity Interests in each of its respective Subsidiaries it will not take any action to allow any additional shares of common stock, preferred stock or other Equity Interests of any of its respective Subsidiaries or any securities convertible or exchangeable into common or preferred stock or other Equity Interests of such Subsidiaries to be issued, or grant any options or warrants, unless all of such securities (or, in the case of a Subsidiary that is a Controlled Foreign Subsidiary, 65% of such securities) are pledged to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) as security for the Obligations and, if applicable, such Pledgor's obligations under Article 9 hereof.

SECTION 10.3. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The Administrative Agent shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the certificates representing any Pledged Securities (a) upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, in its own name (on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) or in the name of its nominee, or (b) prior to such time, in the name of the appropriate Pledgor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates representing any of the Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Credit Agreement.

SECTION 10.4. Voting Rights; Dividends; etc.

(a) The appropriate Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or consensual rights and powers accruing to an owner of the Pledged Securities being pledged by it hereunder or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms hereof, at all times, except as expressly provided in paragraph (c) below.

(b) All dividends or distributions of any kind whatsoever (other than cash dividends or cash distributions paid while no Event of Default is continuing) received by a Pledgor, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination, or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock or Equity Interests of the issuer or received in exchange for the Pledged Securities or any part thereof or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other exchange of assets to which the issuer may be a party, or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Securities pledged hereunder and shall immediately be delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held subject to the terms hereof. All dividends and distributions which are received contrary to the provisions of this subsection (b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, segregated from such Pledgor's own assets, and shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice from the Administrative Agent of the transfer of such rights to the Administrative Agent, all rights of such Pledgor (i) to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers

105

which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section, and (ii) to receive and retain cash dividends and cash distributions shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and/or consensual rights and receive such cash dividends and cash distributions until such time as such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

SECTION 10.5. Remedies Upon Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, may sell the Pledged Securities, or any part thereof, at public or private sale or at any broker's board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate subject to the terms hereof or as otherwise provided in the UCC. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer, and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Securities so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor. The Administrative Agent shall give the Pledgors ten (10) days' prior written notice of any such public or private sale, or sale at any broker's board or on any such securities exchange, or of any other disposition of the Pledged Securities. Such notice, in the case of public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of sale at a broker's board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Securities, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Administrative Agent may fix and shall state in the notice of such sale. At any such sale, the Pledged Securities, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Administrative Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Securities if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Pledged Securities may have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case the sale of all or any part of the Pledged Securities is made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Securities so sold shall be retained by the Administrative Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Securities so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Securities may be sold again upon like notice. At any sale or sales made pursuant to this Section 10.5, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself, and/or the Issuing Bank and/or the Lenders) may bid for or purchase, free from any claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity of redemption, of the Pledgors, any such demand, notice, claim, right or equity being hereby expressly waived and released, any or all of the Pledged Securities offered for sale, and may make any payment on the account thereof by using any claim for moneys then due and payable to the Administrative Agent or any consenting Lender by any Credit Party as a credit against the purchase price; and the Administrative Agent, upon compliance with the terms of

106

sale, may hold, retain and dispose of the Pledged Securities without further accountability therefor to any Pledgor or any third party (other than the Lenders). The Administrative Agent shall in any such sale make no representations or warranties with respect to the Pledged Securities or any part thereof, and shall not be chargeable with any of the obligations or liabilities of the Pledgors with respect thereto. Each Pledgor hereby agrees (i) it will indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all claims with respect to the Pledged Securities asserted before the taking of actual possession or control of the Pledged Securities by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Credit Agreement, or arising out of any act of, or omission to act on the part of, any Person prior to such taking of actual possession or control by the Administrative Agent (whether asserted before or after such taking of possession or control), or arising out of any act on the part of any Pledgor, its agents or Affiliates before or after the commencement of such actual possession or control by the Administrative Agent but excluding from therefrom all claims with respect to the Pledged Securities resulting from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Administrative Agent. the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, or (y) any claims with respect to the Pledged Securities asserted against an indemnified party by a Credit Party in which such Credit Party is the prevailing party, and the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have no liability or obligation arising out of any such claim except for acts of willful misconduct or gross negligence. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Administrative Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and Pledged Securities under this Credit Agreement and to sell the Pledged Securities, or any portion thereof, pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.6. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Cash. The proceeds of sale of the Pledged Securities sold pursuant to Section 10.5 hereof shall be applied by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders as follows:

(i)

to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such sale, including, without limitation, all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, and the payment of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in enforcing this Credit Agreement, in realizing or protecting any Collateral and in enforcing or collecting any Obligations or any guaranty thereof, including, without limitation, court costs and the attorney's fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith; and

(ii)

to the payment in full of the Obligations in accordance with Section 12.2 hereof;

provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may in its discretion apply funds comprising the proceeds of sale of the Pledged Securities to pay the cost (i) of completing any Item of Product owned in whole or in part by any Credit Party in any stage of production, and (ii) of making delivery to the distributors of such Item of Product. Any amounts remaining after such

107

payment in full shall be remitted to the appropriate Pledgor, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

SECTION 10.7. Securities Act, etc. In view of the position of each Pledgor in relation to the Pledged Securities pledged by it, or because of other present or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being hereinafter called the "Federal Securities Laws"), with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Securities permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws may very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Securities, and may also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Securities may dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Administrative Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Securities under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws, or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Under Applicable Law, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may perhaps be held to have certain general duties and obligations to a Pledgor to make some effort towards obtaining a fair price even though the Obligations may be discharged or reduced by the proceeds of a sale at a lesser price. Each Pledgor waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law any such general duty or obligation to it, and the Pledgors and/or the Credit Parties will not attempt to hold the Administrative Agent responsible for selling all or any part of the Pledged Securities at an inadequate price, even if the Administrative Agent shall accept the first offer received or does not approach more than one possible purchaser. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10.7 would apply if, for example, the Administrative Agent were to place all or any part of the Pledged Securities for private placement by an investment banking firm, or if such investment banking firm purchased all or any part of the Pledged Securities for its own account, or if the Administrative Agent placed all or any part of the Pledged Securities privately with a purchaser or purchasers.

SECTION 10.8. Continuation and Reinstatement. Each Pledgor further agrees that its pledge hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise.

SECTION 10.9. Termination. The pledge referenced herein shall terminate when all of the Obligations shall have been fully paid and performed and the Commitments shall have terminated, at which time the Administrative Agent shall promptly assign and deliver to the appropriate Pledgor, or to such Person or Persons as such Pledgor shall designate, against receipt, such of the Pledged Securities (if any) as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof and shall still be held by it hereunder, together with appropriate instruments of reassignment and release. Any such reassignment shall be free and clear of all Liens, arising by, under or through the Administrative Agent but shall otherwise be without recourse upon or warranty by the Administrative Agent and at the expense of the Pledgors.

108

11. CASH COLLATERAL

SECTION 11.1. Cash Collateral Accounts. On or prior to the Closing Date, there shall be established with the Administrative Agent a collateral account in the name of the Credit Parties subject to the security interests of Administrative Agent (the "Cash Collateral Account"), into which the appropriate Credit Parties shall from time to time deposit amounts pursuant to the express provisions of this Credit Agreement requiring or permitting such deposits. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Article 11, the Cash Collateral Accounts shall be under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11.2. Investment of Funds.

(a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed to invest and reinvest the funds from time to time transferred or deposited into the Cash Collateral Account, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on the instructions of the Borrower (provided, that any such instructions given orally shall be confirmed promptly in writing and shall be limited to instructions with respect to investments in cash and Cash Equivalents) or, if the Borrower shall fail to give such instructions upon delivery of any such funds, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, provided that in no event may the Borrower give instructions to the Administrative Agent to, or may the Administrative Agent in its discretion, invest or reinvest funds in the Cash Collateral Account in other than Cash Equivalents.

(b) Any net income or gain on the investment of funds from time to time held in the Cash Collateral Account, shall be promptly reinvested by the Administrative Agent as a part of the Cash Collateral Account; and any net loss on any such investment shall be charged against the Cash Collateral Account.

(c) None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Lenders shall be a trustee for any Credit Party, or shall have any obligations or responsibilities, or shall be liable for anything done or not done, in connection with the Cash Collateral Account except for any acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct, except as expressly provided herein and except that the Administrative Agent shall have the obligations of a secured party under the UCC. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall not have any obligation or responsibility and shall not be liable in any way for any investment decision made in accordance with this Section 11.2 or for any decrease in the value of the investments held in the Cash Collateral Account except for any acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 11.3. Grant of Security Interest. For value received and to induce the Issuing Bank to issue the Letters of Credit and the Lenders to participate in such Letters of Credit and make Loans to the Borrower as provided for in this Credit Agreement, as security for the payment of all of the Obligations, each of the Credit Parties hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) and grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders), a first and prior Lien upon all of such Credit Party's rights in and to the Cash Collateral Account, all cash, documents, instruments and securities from time to time held therein, and all rights pertaining to investments of funds in the Cash Collateral Account and all products and proceeds of any of the foregoing. All cash, documents, instruments and securities from time to time on deposit in the

109

Cash Collateral Account, and all rights pertaining to investments of funds in the Cash Collateral Account shall immediately and without any need for any further action on the part of any of the Credit Parties, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, become subject to the Lien set forth in this Section 11.3, be deemed Collateral for all purposes hereof and be subject to the provisions of this Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11.4. Remedies. At any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may sell any documents, instruments and securities held in the Cash Collateral Account and may immediately apply the proceeds thereof and any other cash held in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section 8.7.

12. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE ISSUING BANK

SECTION 12.1. Administration by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The general administration of the Fundamental Documents and any other documents contemplated by this Credit Agreement or any other Fundamental Document shall be by the Administrative Agent or its designees. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its discretion, to take or refrain from taking such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise or refrain from exercising such powers under the Fundamental Documents, the Notes and any other documents contemplated by this Credit Agreement or any other Fundamental Document as are expressly delegated by the terms hereof or thereof, as appropriate, together with all powers reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except as set forth in the Fundamental Documents.

(b) The Lenders and, where applicable, the Issuing Bank hereby authorize the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion):

(i)

in connection with the sale or other disposition of any asset included in the Collateral or the capital stock of any Guarantor, to the extent undertaken in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, to release a Lien granted to it (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) on such asset or capital stock and/or to release such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder;

(ii)

to determine that the cost to the Borrower or another Credit Party is disproportionate to the benefit to be realized by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders by perfecting a Lien in a given asset or group of assets included in the Collateral and that the Borrower or other Credit Party should not be required to perfect such Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders);

(iii)

to appoint subagents to be the holder of record of a Lien to be granted to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders);

110

(iv)

to confirm in writing the right of Quiet Enjoyment of licensees pursuant to the terms of Section 8.13;

(v)

to enter into and perform its obligations under the other Fundamental Documents;

(vi)

to enter into intercreditor and/or subordination agreements on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent with (A) the unions and/or the guilds with respect to the security interests in favor of such unions and/or guilds required pursuant to the terms of the collective bargaining agreements, (B) any licensee or licensor having any rights to any Item of Product, (C) Persons providing any services in connection with any Item of Product, (D) Persons providing tax benefit and/or production subsidies or co-financing for Items of Product or (E) any Permitted Slate Financing Intercreditor Agreement;

(vii)

to make determinations under the Hallmark Guaranty (including determinations as to the acceptability of credit enhancements offered by a purchaser of Crown Media Holdings, Inc. in connection with a potential termination of the Hallmark Guaranty under Section 3(b)(vi) thereof);

(viii)

[Intentionally Omitted.]; and

(ix)

notwithstanding the fact that a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or that the Obligations may have been accelerated or the Commitments terminated as a result thereof, to make the determination that Loans shall continue to be funded for any Item of Product (i) for which any value has been included in the Borrowing Base and (ii) that has not been Completed; provided, that (1) any such post-Default or post-Event of Default Loans are paid directly into a Production Account, and the payments into such Production Account pursuant to the applicable completion bond are deemed to satisfy any condition precedent to the obligation of an approved completion guarantor to pay funds to the Administrative Agent if the Item of Product is not Completed pursuant to the terms of such completion bond or the Administrative Agent is otherwise satisfied that such Loans will only be used to Complete such Item of Product and reasonably believes at the time such Loans are made that the completion of such Item of Product is reasonably likely to enhance the overall value of the Collateral in a manner commensurate with the Loans expended and (2) such Default or Event of Default is not related to (w) the failure to pay any Obligations hereunder due and owing after any applicable grace period has expired, (x) a Credit Party making a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (y) the commencement of any case entered by or against any Credit Party, whether voluntary or involuntary, seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf or against it as debtor, as applicable, or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation,

111

dissolution or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property under such law or (z) any challenge to or impairment of the perfection or priority of the Administrative Agent's Lien in the Collateral relating to such Item of Product.

SECTION 12.2. Payments. As between the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Fundamental Documents, the application of which is not otherwise provided for in Article 2 hereof, shall be applied, first, to pay the accrued but unpaid Commitment Fees in accordance with each Lender's Percentage, second, to pay accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes in accordance with the amount of outstanding Loans owed to each Lender, and third, to pay the principal balance outstanding on the Notes (with amounts payable on the principal balance outstanding on the Notes in accordance with the amount of outstanding Loans owed to each Lender), amounts outstanding under Swap Agreements and to pay any other obligations then due under this Credit Agreement. All amounts to be paid to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be credited to that Lender, after collection by the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds either by wire transfer or deposit in such Lender's correspondent account with the Administrative Agent, or as such Lender and the Administrative Agent shall from time to time agree.

SECTION 12.3. Sharing of Setoffs and Cash Collateral. Each of the Lenders agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's Lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Credit Party (including, but not limited 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 and received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law) or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of its Loans as a result of which the unpaid portion of its Loans and L/C Exposure is proportionately less than the unpaid portion of Loans and L/C Exposure of any of the other Lenders (a) it shall promptly purchase at par (and shall be deemed to have thereupon purchased) from such other Lenders a participation in the Loans or Letters of Credit of such other Lenders, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of each of the Lender's Loans and its participation in Loans and Letters of Credit of the other Lenders shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding and L/C Exposure as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to the obtaining of such payment was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to the obtaining of such payment, and (b) such other adjustments shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that the Lenders share such payment pro rata. If all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the Lender which originally received such excess payment, such purchase (or portion thereof) shall be canceled and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery. The Credit Parties expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any Lender or Lenders holding (or deemed to be holding) a participation in a Note or Letter of Credit 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 or Lenders as fully as if such Lender or Lenders held a Note and was the original obligee thereon, in the amount of such participation.

No holder of a participating interest shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such holder and such holder agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.14(e) and Section 2.14(g) as though it were a Lender.

(h) A Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 13.3, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to any Credit Party furnished to the Administrative Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or another

120

Credit Party (provided that such proposed assignee or participant agrees to hold such information confidential in accordance with Section 13.18 hereof).

If any proceeding, including any governmental investigation, shall be instituted involving any Indemnified Party, in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Credit Parties, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing. The foregoing indemnity agreement includes any costs incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with any action or proceeding in connection with which any officer or employee of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger or the Lenders is called as a witness or deponent, including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Arranger and any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Arranger or the Lenders in appearing as a witness or in otherwise complying with legal process served upon them. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 13.5 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement, the payment of the Loans and the reimbursement of all L/C Exposure and shall inure to the benefit of any Lender and its associated Indemnified Parties notwithstanding the assignment by such Lender of all of its Loans, L/C Exposure and Commitment hereunder.

If a Credit Party shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do hereunder or under a Fundamental Document which failure would cause a Default or Event of Default to occur hereunder, or any representation or warranty of a Credit Party shall be breached, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done

122

or remedy any such breach and there shall be added to the Obligations hereunder the cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in so doing, and any and all amounts expended by the Administrative Agent in taking any such action shall be repayable to it upon its demand therefor and shall bear interest at a rate per annum of 2% in excess of the rate then in effect for Alternate Base Rate Loans from time to time in effect from the date advanced to the date of repayment.

SECTION 13.6. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WHICH ARE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE AND, IN THE CASE OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO INTEREST RATES, ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

SECTION 13.7. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, ANY OTHER FUNDAMENTAL DOCUMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER THEREOF, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH CREDIT PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION CONSTITUTE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH SUCH OTHER PARTIES HAVE RELIED, ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER FUNDAMENTAL DOCUMENT. ANY PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 13.7 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF ANY CREDIT PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

SECTION 13.8. WAIVER WITH RESPECT TO DAMAGES. EACH CREDIT PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGER, THE ISSUING BANK NOR ANY LENDER HAS ANY FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP WITH, OR FIDUCIARY DUTY TO, ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FUNDAMENTAL DOCUMENT AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGER, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE LENDERS, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE CREDIT PARTIES, ON THE OTHER HAND,

123

IN CONNECTION THEREWITH IS SOLELY THAT OF DEBTOR AND CREDITOR. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NO CREDIT PARTY SHALL ASSERT, AND EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIMS AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGER, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE LENDERS 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 CREDIT AGREEMENT, ANY FUNDAMENTAL DOCUMENT, ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

SECTION 13.9. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, under the Notes or any other Fundamental Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

SECTION 13.10. Amendments, etc.

(a) No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Fundamental Document (except to the extent expressly contemplated herein or therein) and no consent to any departure by a Credit Party herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and acknowledged and agreed to by the Borrower and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that (A) no such modification, amendment, waiver or consent shall, without the written consent of all Lenders, (i) amend or modify any provision of this Credit Agreement which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the Lenders, (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral and the Pledged Securities (except as contemplated herein) or release any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder (except as contemplated herein), (iii) subordinate the Obligations hereunder to other Indebtedness or subordinate the security interests of the Administrative Agent in the Collateral except as permitted by Section 12.1, (iv) amend the definition of "Required Lenders" to decrease the percentages of Lenders referred to therein, (v) amend the definition of "Collateral" if such amendment would have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral, (vi) amend or modify this Section 13.10(a), (B) no such modification, amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender or (ii) alter the final scheduled maturity or principal amount of any Loan, or decrease the rate of interest payable thereon, or decrease the rate at which the Commitment Fees accrue, or delay the fixed scheduled maturity of any payment required to be made under this Credit Agreement, in each case, without the written consent of each Lender so affected, (C) no such modification, amendment, waiver or consent shall amend Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 hereof without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and (D) no such modification, amendment, waiver or consent shall result in an increase in the Applicable Library Percentage without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders. The Intercreditor Agreement shall commit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to not, without

124

the written consent of a majority of the Second Lien Lenders, amend or modify the definition of "Applicable Library Percentage" herein to an amount in excess of 55%. No such amendment or modification may adversely affect the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder without its prior written consent. No notice to or demand on any of the Credit Parties shall entitle such Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Each holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, modification, waiver or consent authorized as provided herein, whether or not such Note shall have been marked to indicate such amendment, modification, waiver or consent and any consent by any holder of such Note shall bind any Person subsequently acquiring such Note, whether or not such Note is so marked.

(b) If any Lender (i) requests compensation under Sections 2.10(b), 2.11 or 2.14 or converts Loans of a Type pursuant to Section 2.12, or (ii) defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort and upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.3), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement to another Lender or an Eligible Assignee which shall assume such obligations and which accepts such assignment; provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in each sole and absolute discretion, (b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Exposure, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts then payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Sections 2.10(b) or 2.14 or conversion of Loans of a Type pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or rate of interest thereafter. No Lender shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of "each Lender" or "each Lender affected thereby," the consent of the Lenders holding at least 66-2/3% of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Term Loans outstanding or, if no Loans or Letters of Credit are outstanding, Lenders holding at least 66-2/3% of the Total Commitments is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a "Non-Consenting Lender"), then, so long as an Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Credit Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another Lender or Eligible Assignee, which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in each's sole and absolute discretion, shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans, L/C Exposure and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 13.3, and (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall receive in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) an amount

125

equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Exposure, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts then payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.11 and 2.14, and (2) an amount from the Borrower, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.10(b) had the Loans and L/C Exposure of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 13.11. Severability. Any provision of this Credit Agreement or of the Notes which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

EACH SUBMITTING PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS TO WHICH NOTICES ARE TO BE GIVEN TO IT PURSUANT TO SECTION 13.1 HEREOF. EACH SUBMITTING PARTY AGREES THAT ITS SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION AND CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY MAIL IS MADE FOR THE EXPRESS BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE OTHER SUBMITTING PARTIES. FINAL JUDGMENT AGAINST ANY SUBMITTING PARTY IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE, AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (X) BY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING

126

ON THE JUDGMENT, A CERTIFIED OR TRUE COPY OF WHICH SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE FACT AND OF THE AMOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS OR LIABILITY OF THE SUBMITTING PARTY THEREIN DESCRIBED, OR (Y) IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY OR PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF SUCH OTHER JURISDICTION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR A LENDER MAY AT ITS OPTION BRING SUIT, OR INSTITUTE OTHER JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST A SUBMITTING PARTY OR ANY OF ITS ASSETS IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR OF ANY COUNTRY OR PLACE WHERE THE SUBMITTING PARTY OR SUCH ASSETS MAY BE FOUND.

(b) In the event that any payment on any such Indebtedness shall be received by such Credit Party other than as permitted by Section 13.15(a) before payment in full of all Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Credit Party shall receive such payments and hold the same in trust for, segregate the same from its own assets and shall immediately pay over to, the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders all such sums to the extent necessary so that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have been paid all Obligations owed or which may become owing.

(b) In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Existing Senior Facilities, each Credit Party releases, waives and discharges any claims or causes of action which it may have against the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Existing Senior Facilities), the Issuing Bank (as defined in the Existing Senior Facilities) and each of the Lenders (as defined in the Existing Senior Facilities) and any of the other holders of the Obligations (as defined in the Existing Senior Facilities) arising under the Existing Senior Facilities or any of the other Fundamental Documents (as defined in the Existing Senior Facilities) or relating to their performance thereunder.

SECTION 13.21. Commitments Under the Existing Senior Facilities. (a) On the Closing Date, each Lender that is not party to the Existing Senior Facilities and each Lender whose Commitment exceeds its Commitment (as defined in the Existing Senior Facilities) under the Existing Senior Facilities shall be deemed to have purchased the Commitments of each Lender whose Commitment is less than its Commitment (as defined in the Existing Senior

129

Facilities) under the Existing Senior Facilities and/or increased its Commitment such that the Commitment of each relevant Lender will be as set forth in the Schedule of Commitments attached to this Credit Agreement on the Closing Date.
