CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of October 24, 2007 (this "Agreement"), among PALM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the LENDERS party hereto, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and MORGAN STANLEY SENIOR FUNDING, INC., as Syndication Agent.

Elevation Partners, L.P. (the "Sponsor") and its affiliates intend to acquire a minority interest in the Borrower equal to approximately 28% of the outstanding voting power of the Borrower as of the Effective Date (the "Acquisition"). In connection with the foregoing, it is intended that:

(a)

The Sponsor will purchase 325,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Borrower for an aggregate purchase price of $325,000,000 (the payment of such purchase price, the "Equity Contribution") pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 1, 2007 (the "Investment Agreement"), among the Sponsor, the Borrower and Passport Merger Corporation.

(b)

The Borrower will obtain the credit facilities described herein. In addition, the indebtedness of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be repaid and all existing commitments, obligations and security interests in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be terminated (the "Existing Indebtedness Refinancing").

(c)

The proceeds received by the Borrower from the Equity Contribution and the Tranche B Term Loans, together with cash on hand at the Borrower, shall be used to pay (i) the cash portion of the merger consideration contemplated under the Investment Agreement to the shareholders of the Borrower as of the effective time of the merger of Passport Merger Corporation with and into the Borrower (the "Merger") as contemplated by the Investment Agreement (excluding, for purposes of clarity, the Sponsor and its Affiliates) in an aggregate amount of approximately $935,000,000, (ii) any transaction fees and expenses arising from the Transactions (the "Transaction Costs"), (iii) any financing fees associated with this Agreement and (iv) any amounts owing in respect of the Existing Indebtedness Refinancing.

The Borrower has requested that (a) the Tranche B Lenders extend credit in the form of Tranche B Term Loans on the Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $400,000,000 and (b) the Revolving Lenders extend credit in the form of Revolving Loans, the Swingline Lender extend credit in the form of Swingline Loans and the Issuing Bank issue Letters of Credit, in each case at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period such that the aggregate Revolving Exposures will not exceed $30,000,000 at any time (as such amount may be increased pursuant to Section 2.20). In addition, the Borrower may request that prospective Additional Lenders agree to make available Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases pursuant to Section 2.20 from time to time after the Closing Date

in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000,000. The proceeds received by the Borrower from the Tranche B Term Loans will be used as set forth in paragraph (c) above. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans will be used only for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including Permitted Acquisitions). Letters of Credit will be used only for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Lenders are willing to extend such credit to the Borrower, and the Issuing Bank is willing to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.03. Terms Generally. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words "include", "includes" and "including" shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase "without limitation". The word "will" shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word "shall". Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person's successors and assigns, (c) the words "herein", "hereof" and "hereunder", and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of,

and Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement and (e) the words "asset" and "property" shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.

SECTION 1.04. Accounting Terms; GAAP.

SECTION 1.05. Pro Forma Calculations. With respect to any period during which any Permitted Acquisition or any sale, transfer or other disposition of any material assets outside the ordinary course of business occurs, for purposes of determining the Senior Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio and Consolidated EBITDA, calculations with respect to such period shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis.

SECTION 1.06. Currency. For purposes of determining compliance as of any date with the provisions of Article VI, or for purposes of making any determination under paragraph (f), (g) or (k) of Section 7.01, amounts incurred or outstanding in currencies other than U.S. dollars shall be translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable currency exchange rates in effect on the date that such amounts were incurred, made or expended, as the case may be, as such currency exchange rates shall be determined in good faith by the Borrower by reference to customary indices, provided that if any Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, the limitation on the permitted amount of such Indebtedness shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinancing (and, for the purposes of this proviso, if refinancing Indebtedness is to be incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness and the Indebtedness being refinanced will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing with respect to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated). No Default shall arise as a result of any limitation or threshold set forth in U.S. dollars in Article VI or paragraph (f), (g) or (k) of Section 7.01 being exceeded solely as a result of a change in currency exchange rates.

SECTION 1.07. Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be satisfied in order for a specified action to be permitted under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding up if there is no nearest number).

Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender's failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan, provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time, provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of six Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an ABR Revolving Borrowing or a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Maturity Date, the Tranche B Maturity Date or, with respect to any Class of Incremental Term Loans, the maturity date set for such Class in the Incremental Facility Amendment in respect of such Class, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing or Term Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing, provided that any such notice of an ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:

(vi) the location and number of the Borrower's account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06; and

(vii) that as of such date Sections 4.02(a) and (b) are satisfied.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $5,000,000 or (ii) the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments, provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of such proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect

to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted by the Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear, provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and thereafter to the Borrower, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 on the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit will, automatically and without any action on the part of any Person, be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account (or for the account of any Restricted Subsidiary so long as the Borrower and such Restricted Subsidiary are co-applicants in respect of such Letter of Credit), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank (except that the Issuing Bank in respect of Existing Letters of Credit shall not issue additional Letters of Credit and, unless agreed by it, shall not be required to amend, renew or extend an Existing Letter of Credit) and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and

address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank's standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the aggregate Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date) unless the Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day that is one Business Day after the date on which the Borrower has received notice of such LC Disbursement, provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000 the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.04 that such

payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing

Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or refusal shall be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder, provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans, provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the

replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most-recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly

crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.05(e) to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing and Term Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03 and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrowing may be made, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing having an Interest Period in excess of one month prior to the date that is 30 days after the Effective Date. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request

shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term "Interest Period".

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month's duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, (i) the Tranche B Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Effective Date and (ii) the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class, provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the aggregate Revolving Exposures (excluding, in the case of any termination of the Revolving Commitments, the portion of the Revolving Exposures attributable to outstanding Letters of Credit if and to the extent that the Borrower has made arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit and the Issuing Bank has released the Revolving Lenders from their participation obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit) would exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable, provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10 and (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least three Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made, provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans that were outstanding on the date such Borrowing was requested and that remain outstanding on the date of such Revolving Borrowing.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the

Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender's share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be, absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and pay interest thereon in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Amortization of Term Loans. (a) Subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrower shall repay Tranche B Term Borrowings on each date set forth below in the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such date:

Tranche B Maturity Date	$	2,000,000

(b) To the extent not previously paid all Tranche B Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche B Maturity Date.

(c) Any prepayment of a Term Borrowing of any Class shall be applied (i) in the case of prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(a), to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section or, except as otherwise provided in any Incremental Facility Amendment, pursuant to the corresponding section of such Incremental Facility Amendment, as directed by the Borrower, and (ii) in the case of prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.11(c) and (d), to reduce the subsequent scheduled prepayments of the Term Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section or, except as otherwise provided in any Incremental Facility Amendment, pursuant to the corresponding section of such Incremental Facility Amendment, in direct order of maturity to the scheduled repayments. If the initial aggregate amount of the Lenders' Tranche B Commitments exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Tranche B Term Loans that are made on the Effective Date, then the scheduled repayments of Tranche B Term Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section shall be reduced ratably by an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(d) Prior to any repayment of any Term Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such election not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the amount repaid.

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section. All voluntary prepayments of Term Borrowings (as well as any mandatory prepayment of Term Borrowings effected pursuant to Section 2.11(c) in respect of any event described in clause (c) of the definition of the term "Prepayment Event") effected (i) prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Date shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 3.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayments, (ii) on or after the first anniversary of

the Effective Date and prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayments and (iii) on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayments.

(b) In the event and on such occasion that the aggregate Revolving Exposures exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay Revolving Borrowings or Swingline Borrowings (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Proceeds, provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term "Prepayment Event", if (i) the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries apply (or commit to apply) the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 15 months after receipt of such Net Proceeds and at a time when no Default has occurred and is continuing, to acquire real property, equipment or other tangible assets to be used in the business of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received a certificate of a Financial Officer stating its intention to do so and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds in respect of such event (or the portion of such Net Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied (or committed to be applied) by the end of such 15-month period (or if committed to be so applied within such 15-month period, have not been so applied within 180 days after the end of such 15-month period after receipt), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied (or committed to be applied).

(d) Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending May 30, 2008, the Borrower shall prepay Term Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the Required Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year, provided that such amount shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) during such fiscal year (except to the extent such prepayment is financed by the incurrence of other Indebtedness). Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the date that is 90 days after the end of such fiscal year.

(e) Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section. In the event of any optional or mandatory prepayment of Term Borrowings

made at a time when Term Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding, the Borrower shall select Term Borrowings to be prepaid so that the aggregate amount of such prepayment is allocated between Tranche B Term Borrowings and, to the extent provided in the Incremental Facility Amendment for any Class of Incremental Term Loans, the Borrowings of such Class, pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Borrowings of each such Class, provided that any Tranche B Lender (and, to the extent provided in the Incremental Facility Amendment for any Class of Incremental Term Loans, any Lender that holds Incremental Term Loans of such Class) may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) at least one Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of any such Class pursuant to this Section (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, which may not be declined) (any such Lender, a "Declining Lender"), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of any such Class but was so declined shall be (i) applied to prepay Tranche B Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans of any such Class in accordance with this paragraph (e) (but solely in respect of the Term Loans of those Lenders that are not Declining Lenders and without giving further operation to this clause (i)) and (ii) to the extent of any amounts remaining after application pursuant to this provision, retained by the Borrower.

(f) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment, provided that (A) if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08 and (B) a prepayment notice delivered by the Borrower in respect of any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(a) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and any prepayment fees required by Section 2.11(a).

SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender's LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender's Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank's standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 Business Days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances. The Administrative Agent shall calculate such fees and notify the Borrower of the amounts so payable prior to the date thereof and, in any event, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day immediately prior to the date on which such fees are due.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or the Issuing Bank (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will have no obligations under this Section 2.15 with respect to increased costs resulting from (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.17 shall govern) or (ii) changes in the rate or basis of imposition of any Excluded Taxes.

(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 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 the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, 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, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the Issuing Bank's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense, if any, attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue

on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document 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 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment under any Loan Document the amount of any Excluded Taxes required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely 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 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 under any Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment 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) Each Foreign Lender shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, upon becoming a party to any Loan Document, upon any change in the applicable withholding Tax rate and at such other time or times as prescribed by applicable law, with information sufficient for the Borrower to fulfill its obligations to withhold and pay over any Taxes under applicable law (the "Borrower's Withholding Tax Obligations"), including its name and current address, the names and addresses of its beneficial owners (if relevant to the Borrower's Withholding Tax Obligations) and its social security number, employer identification number or other identifying number (and those of its beneficial owners if relevant to the Borrower's Withholding Tax Obligations). 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 Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Foreign Lender has received written notice from the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and supplying all applicable documentation. Each recipient of any payment under any Loan Document that is a "United States person" shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W-9. If such recipient fails to deliver such forms, then the Borrower shall be entitled to withhold from any payment to such recipient an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding Tax imposed by the Code, and such amount shall be included in the definition of the term "Excluded Taxes".

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

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any

Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans, Term Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any

payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(a) or (b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender's obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not be inconsistent with its internal policies or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental

Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, 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 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b) and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Incremental Extensions of Credit. (a) At any time and from time to time prior to the Tranche B Maturity Date (or, in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase, during the Revolving Availability Period), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to add (i) one or more additional tranches of term loans (the "Incremental Term Loans") or (ii) one or more increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (each such increase, a "Revolving Commitment Increase" and, together with the Incremental Term Loans, the "Incremental Extensions of Credit"), provided that at the time of each such request and upon the effectiveness of each Incremental Facility Amendment, (A) no Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom and (B) the Borrower shall have delivered a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect set forth in clause (A) above. Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Extensions of Credit shall not exceed $25,000,000. Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000, provided that such amount may be less than $5,000,000 if such amount represents all the remaining availability under the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Extensions of Credit set forth above.

(b) The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment in respect of the Collateral and with the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Commitments and the Tranche B Term Loans, (ii) for purposes of

prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Tranche B Term Loans and (iii) other than amortization, pricing or maturity date, shall have the same terms as the Tranche B Term Loans or such other terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, provided that (A) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Tranche B Maturity Date, and (B) any Incremental Term Loan shall not have a weighted average life that is shorter than the weighted average life of the then-remaining Tranche B Term Loans.

(c) Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Extension of Credit. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend Incremental Extensions of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase, the Issuing Bank) (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person being called an "Additional Lender") and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an "Incremental Facility Amendment") to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, such Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Extension of Credit, unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Incremental Extension of Credit shall become Commitments (or in the case of any Revolving Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Revolving Lender's Revolving Commitment) under this Agreement. An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section (including to provide for voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders comparable to the provisions of clause (B) of the second proviso of Section 9.02(b)). The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders, be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an "Incremental Facility Closing Date") of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to "the date of such Borrowing" in Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the Incremental Facility Closing Date). The proceeds of any Incremental Extensions of Credit will be used only for working capital or other general corporate purposes.

(d) Upon each Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, (i) each Revolving Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Additional Lender providing a portion of such Revolving Commitment Increase (each a "Revolving Commitment Increase Lender"), and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender's participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding (A) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (B) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Revolving Lender (including

each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage and (ii) if, on the date of such Revolving Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, such Revolving Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Revolving Loans made hereunder (reflecting such Revolving Commitment Increase), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

SECTION 3.01. Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (except, in the case of Subsidiaries that are not Loan Parties, where the failure to so be in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect), (b) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party and to effect the Transactions to which it is a party and (c) except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and to the extent such concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on the part of such Loan Party and, if required, action by the holders of such Loan Party's Equity Interests. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such other Loan Party (as the case may be), enforceable against the Borrower or such other Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (a) do not require any material consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been

obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filing of the certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect the Merger and (iii) filings necessary to perfect Liens created under the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any Requirement of Law applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (c) except as set forth on Schedule 3.03 of the Disclosure Letter, will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, material agreement or other material instrument binding upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or their respective assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment (other than payments contemplated by the Investment Documents and the Loan Documents) to be made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or give rise to a right of, or result in, termination, cancelation or acceleration of any obligation thereunder, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except Liens created under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i) its consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows as of and for the three most-recent fiscal years ended June 1, 2007, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) its condensed consolidated balance sheet and its condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2007, and August 31, 2006, certified by its chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as of such dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except as otherwise described in the notes to such financial statements), subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.

(b) The Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Lenders its pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 1, 2007, prepared giving effect to the Transactions as if the Transactions had occurred on such date. Such pro forma consolidated balance sheet (i) has been prepared in good faith based on the same assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial statements included in the Information Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by the Borrower to be reasonable), (ii) is based on the best information available to the Borrower after due inquiry, (iii) accurately reflects in all material respects all adjustments necessary to give effect to the Transactions in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (iv) presents fairly, in all material respects, the pro forma financial position (in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as of June 1, 2007, as if the Transactions had occurred on such date.

(c) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to above or the notes thereto or in the Information Memorandum or the Disclosure Letter, after giving effect to the Transactions, none of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries has, as of the Effective Date, any material direct or contingent liabilities, unusual long-term commitments or unrealized losses.

(d) Solely for purposes of any credit event hereunder following the Effective Date, no event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect since June 1, 2007.

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property material to its business (including the Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere in any material respect with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or as proposed to be conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes and Liens permitted by Section 6.02.

(b) Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns, or licenses pursuant to a valid and enforceable written agreement, or, solely in the case of Intellectual Property or Software in respect of open-source software, has a right to use, all Intellectual Property and Software necessary for the operation and conduct of their businesses as currently conducted and, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, the operation and conduct of the businesses of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (including the use or practice of any Intellectual Property and Software therein) does not infringe, misappropriate or dilute any Intellectual Property owned by any other Person, except for such infringements, misappropriations or dilutions that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, no other Person has contested in writing any right, title or interest of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in or relating to any Intellectual Property or Software or challenged in writing the ownership, use, validity or enforceability of any material Intellectual Property owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the use, validity or enforceability of any licenses to any Intellectual Property held by the Borrower or any Subsidiary), except any such contest or challenge that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, except as otherwise disclosed in the Borrower's filings with the SEC made prior to the Effective Date, there are no pending (or threatened in writing) actions, investigations, suits, proceedings or orders with respect to any such infringement, misappropriation or dilution or any other violation, impairment, contest or challenge in writing relating to Intellectual Property, in each case that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, no judgment or order regarding any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution, violation, impairment, contest or challenge has been rendered by any competent Governmental Authority, no settlement agreement or similar contract has been entered into by the Borrower or any Subsidiary with respect to any such infringement, misappropriation, dilution, violation, impairment, contest or challenge wherein such settlement agreement or similar contract would materially impact the operation and conduct of the business of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in a negative manner or otherwise result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, no Person has been or is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, violating or otherwise impairing any Intellectual Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except for such infringements, misappropriations, dilutions, violations or other impairments that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Schedule 3.05(c) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth the address of each real property that is owned or leased by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party as of the Effective Date after giving effect to the Transactions.

(d) Except for purchase contracts entered into in connection with sales, transfers or other dispositions of Mortgaged Property permitted pursuant to Section 6.05, neither any Mortgaged Property nor any interest therein is subject to any right of first refusal, option or other contractual right to purchase such Mortgaged Property or interest therein.

SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary (i) that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or, as of the date hereof, the Transactions.

(b) Except with respect to any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any events, facts or circumstances that could reasonable be expected to result in any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in compliance with (a) all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and (b) except as contemplated by Schedule 3.03 to the Disclosure Letter, all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except, in the case of clauses (a) and (b) of this Section, where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. None of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is an "investment company" as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.09. Taxes. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries (a) has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed by it, except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) has paid or caused to be paid all assessed Taxes required to have been paid by it, except any Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, provided that the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, has set aside on its books adequate reserves therefor and the failure to pay such Taxes would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan have been satisfied.

Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction that could subject the Borrower or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; the present value of the aggregate accumulated benefit liabilities of all such Foreign Pension Plans (based on those assumptions used to fund each such Foreign Pension Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such Foreign Pension Plans by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or delivered thereunder (including reports delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.01) (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished or, prior to the date hereof, filed with the SEC), when taken as a whole and together with the Borrower's filings with the SEC prior to the date hereof, contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by them to be reasonable at the time

delivered and, if such projected financial information was delivered prior to the Effective Date, as of the Effective Date (it being understood that such projections may vary from actual results and such variances may be material).

SECTION 3.12. Subsidiaries. Schedule 3.12 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth the name of, and the ownership interest of the Borrower and each Subsidiary in, each Subsidiary and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case as of the Effective Date.

SECTION 3.13. Insurance. As of the Effective Date, all premiums due and payable in respect of insurance maintained by the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have been paid. The Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is in such amounts (with no greater risk retention) and against such risks as is (a) customarily maintained by companies of established repute engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations and (b) adequate.

SECTION 3.14. Labor Matters. As of the Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns or any other material labor disputes against the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, except to the extent that any such violation, individually or in the aggregate, could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, except where the failure to so pay or accrue could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There is no organizing activity involving the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, threatened by any labor union or group of employees, except those that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no representation proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, threatened with the National Mediation Board, and no labor organization or group of employees of the Borrower or any Subsidiary has made a pending demand for recognition, except those that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no material complaints or charges against the Borrower or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, threatened to be filed with any Governmental Authority or arbitrator based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating to the employment or termination of employment by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any individual, except those that, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.15. Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Effective Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed their debts and liabilities,

subordinated, contingent or otherwise, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured and (d) the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which they are engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Effective Date.

SECTION 3.16. Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) None of the Borrower or any Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

(b) Taking into account all of the Transactions, no part of the proceeds of the Loans shall be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X.

SECTION 3.17. Security Interests. (a) Valid Liens. Each Security Document, when executed and delivered by the applicable Loan Parties, is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral of such Loan Parties described therein to the extent intended to be created thereby and (i) when financing statements and other filings in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate (or, in the case of any Security Document executed and delivered after the date hereof in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.11 and 5.12, when financing statements and other filings in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified in the local counsel opinion delivered with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.11 and 5.12) and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Administrative Agent of such Collateral consisting of Equity Interests or Indebtedness to be pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, the Liens created by such Security Document shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in (to the extent intended to be created thereby), all right, title and interest of the grantors in such Collateral to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing financing statements or possession or control, as applicable, in each case subject to no Liens other than Liens permitted hereunder. The Liens on, and security interests in, the Collateral are prior to any other Lien on any of the Collateral, other than (A) Permitted Encumbrances and other Liens under Section 6.02, in each case that would have priority as a matter of law and (B) Liens permitted under clauses (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 6.02.

(b) PTO Filing; Copyright Office Filing. When the Collateral Agreement or a short form thereof is properly filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office and a financing statement in appropriate form is filed in the appropriate filing offices as contemplated by Section 3.17(a), the Liens

created by the Collateral Agreement shall, to the extent allowed by law, constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder (to the extent intended to be created thereby) in Patents and Trademarks (each as defined in the Collateral Agreement) registered or applied for with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or Copyrights (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) registered or applied for with the United States Copyright Office, as the case may be, and listed in the Disclosure Letter or the short-form of the Collateral Agreement so filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, in each case subject to no Liens other than Liens permitted hereunder (it being understood that, and the foregoing is qualified by the fact that, subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a Lien on registered Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired by the grantors thereof after the Effective Date or listed in the Disclosure Letter following the finalization thereof after the Effective Date as contemplated by the Collateral Agreement).

(c) Mortgages. Each Mortgage, when executed and delivered by the applicable Loan Party, is effective to create, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable first-priority Liens on, and security interests in, all of such Loan Party's right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties thereunder and the proceeds thereof, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances or other Liens acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and when such Mortgage is filed in the offices specified in the local counsel opinion delivered with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.11 and 5.12, such Mortgage shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties described therein and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than Liens permitted by such Mortgage.

The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, (a) insurance in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary for similarly situated Persons in engaged in the same or similar businesses as the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries) and against such risks as is (i) customarily maintained by companies of established repute engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations and (ii) considered adequate by the Borrower and (b) all other insurance as may be required by law or any other Loan Document.

The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, permit any representatives designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect its properties, to examine and make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested, provided that, excluding any such visits and inspections during the

continuation of an Event of Default, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (or a Lender to the extent such visit or inspection is coordinated through the Administrative Agent) may exercise the rights under this Section 5.08 and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, shall not exercise such rights more often than two times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one such time shall be at the Borrower's expense absent the existence of an Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.08 or any other Loan Document, none of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making of copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter (a) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information (in each case, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that, in such case, such information shall be available to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (or to any Lender to the extent such visit or inspection is coordinated through the Administrative Agent, provided that, in connection with such information, each such Lender shall be subject to customary "clean-room" restrictions that are reasonably satisfactory to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower)), (b) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective representatives) is prohibited by any Requirement of Law or any binding contractual agreement or (c) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.

SECTION 5.10. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Term Loans, together with the proceeds of the Equity Contribution, will be used to consummate the Acquisition and the Existing Indebtedness Refinancing and to pay the Transaction Costs and any financing fees associated with this Agreement. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans drawn after the Effective Date will be used only for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including Permitted Acquisitions). No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U and X. Letters of Credit will be used only for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

SECTION 5.11. Additional Subsidiaries. If any additional Subsidiary is formed or acquired after the Effective Date (or if (a) any Foreign Subsidiary is designated as a Subsidiary Loan Party (as contemplated by the definition of the term "Subsidiary Loan Party") or (b) any Immaterial Subsidiary is redesignated (as contemplated by the definition of the term "Immaterial Subsidiary" and/or the definition of the term "Subsidiary Loan Party") such that it no longer constitutes an "Immaterial Subsidiary"), the Borrower will, within five Business Days after such Subsidiary is formed or acquired (or any such Subsidiary is so designated or redesignated, as the case may be), notify the

Administrative Agent thereof and cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary (if it is a Subsidiary Loan Party or, in the case of an Immaterial Subsidiary, is required to become a Subsidiary Loan Party) and with respect to any Equity Interest in or Indebtedness of such Subsidiary owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party, in each case within 30 days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) of such formation or acquisition (or such designation or redesignation, as the case may be).

SECTION 5.12. Further Assurances. (a) The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary Loan Party to, execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), that may be required under any applicable law, or that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, to cause the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. The Borrower also agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

(b) If any material assets (including any real property or improvements thereto or any interest therein with a fair market value in excess of $5,000,000) are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Loan Party after the Effective Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Collateral Agreement or any Foreign Security Document that become subject to the Lien created by the Collateral Agreement or any such Foreign Security Document upon acquisition thereof, and other than assets that are not required to be pledged to secure the Obligations as provided in Section 4.01(d) of the Collateral Agreement), the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, and cause the Subsidiary Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (a) of this Section, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Subsidiary shall be required to become a Loan Party, and no Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties shall be created or perfected, to the extent that (i) the cost of such Subsidiary becoming a Loan Party, or the cost of creating or perfecting, as the case may be, the Lien on such asset, is, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, excessive in relation to the benefit to Lenders to be afforded thereby, (ii) such Subsidiary becoming a Loan Party, or the creation of a Lien on such asset, would result in adverse tax or accounting consequences as reasonably determined by the Borrower or (iii) the creation of a Lien on such asset would not be required pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Agreement.

SECTION 5.13. Designation of Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors of the Borrower may at any time after the Effective Date designate any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Loan Party) as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, provided that (a) immediately before and after any such designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, (b) immediately after giving effect to any such designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, either (i) the Borrower would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Senior Unsecured Debt pursuant to clause (xii) of Section 6.01(a) or (ii) the Senior Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio would be equal to or lower than the Senior Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, respectively, immediately prior to such designation (it being understood that as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such designation, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating such compliance), and (c) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or continue as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) such Unrestricted Subsidiary (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a "Restricted Subsidiary" (or any comparable designation) for the purpose of any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or (ii) such Unrestricted Subsidiary has created, incurred, issued, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to any Indebtedness pursuant to which the lender in respect thereof has recourse to any of the assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary. The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after the Effective Date shall constitute an investment by the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary (as applicable) therein under Section 6.04(r) at the date of designation in an amount equal to the portion (proportionate to the Borrower's or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary's (as applicable) equity interest in such Subsidiary) of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary at the time it is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such designation by the Board of Directors of the Borrower by promptly filing with the Administrative Agent a copy of the board resolution giving effect to such designation and an officer's certificate from the principal executive officer of the Borrower or a Financial Officer certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

SECTION 5.14. Post-Closing Obligations. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, cause each of the actions described on Schedule 5.14 to be completed within 90 days after the Effective Date.

SECTION 5.15. Subordination Agreement. Not later than the Effective Date, the Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary existing on the Effective Date to, enter into a subordination agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, in respect of intercompany Indebtedness that is required to be subordinated to the Obligations under Sections 6.01(a)(iii) and (iv). The Borrower will cause any Restricted Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Effective Date (or designated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Effective Date) to promptly execute and deliver a supplement to such subordination agreement in respect of intercompany Indebtedness that is required to be subordinated to the Obligations under Sections 6.01(a)(iii) and (iv).

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary or believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 2.05(j) or Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 2.05(j) or Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in

110

any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon notice to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with and, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the approval of the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, in consultation with and, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the approval of the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,

111

its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender and the Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this any Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished thereunder.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of Syndication Agent, the Joint Bookrunners or other titles as necessary listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under any Loan Document, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as provided in Section 2.20 with respect to any Incremental Facility Amendment, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or

Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan under Section 2.10 or the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, or the required date of reimbursement of any LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be) (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Term Loans and Revolving Commitments on the date hereof), (vi) release any material Subsidiary Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Collateral Agreement), or limit its liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class, without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class, (ix) modify the protections afforded to an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(e) without the written consent of such SPV or (x) change the rights of the Tranche B Lenders to decline mandatory prepayments as provided in Section 2.11 or the rights of any Additional Lenders of any Class to decline mandatory prepayments of Term Loans of such Class as provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, without the written consent of Tranche B Lenders or Additional Lenders of such Class, as applicable, holding a majority of the outstanding Tranche B Term Loans or Term Loans of such Class, as applicable; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent

114

thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time and (C) if the terms of any waiver, amendment or modification of any Loan Document provide that any Class of Loans (together with all accrued interest thereon and all accrued fees payable with respect to the Commitments of such Class) will be repaid or paid in full, and the Commitments of such Class (if any) terminated, as a condition to the effectiveness of such waiver, amendment or modification, then so long as the Loans of such Class (together with such accrued interest and fees) are in fact repaid or paid and such Commitments are in fact terminated, in each case prior to or substantially simultaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, then such Loans and Commitments shall not be included in the determination of the Required Lenders with respect to such amendment.

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a "Proposed Change") requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders (and, to the extent any Proposed Change requires the consent of Lenders holding Loans of any Class pursuant to clause (v), (viii) or (x) of paragraph (b) of this Section, the consent of a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of such Class) to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a "Non-Consenting Lender"), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank and Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued and unpaid interest thereon, accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including a prepayment fee in an amount equal to the prepayment fee or premium (if any) that would have been payable to such Non-Consenting Lender if the Loans to be assigned by such Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to this Section 9.02(c) were, instead, prepaid by the Borrower on the date of such assignment) and (c) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended solely with the consent of both the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (each in its sole discretion and without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender) if such amendment is delivered in order to (i) cure ambiguities or defects of

115

a technical or immaterial nature in this Agreement or the applicable Loan Document or (ii) at any time prior to the date that is 270 days after the Effective Date, address comments to this Agreement or any other Loan Document raised by any Lender (or any other entity that is raising such comments in consideration of becoming a Lender) to the extent that such comments are not adverse to the interests of any other Lender or the Issuing Bank (it being understood and agreed that no amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be effected pursuant to this clause (ii) to the extent that such amendment would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in the first or second proviso of paragraph (b) to this Section 9.02).

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), except as otherwise mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee"), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for all the Indemnitees (except, in the case where there is an actual or perceived divergent or conflicting interest between any Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the other Indemnitees, on the other hand, where such Indemnitee has informed the Borrower of such divergent or conflicting interest and, after receipt of the Borrower's consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), has retained its own counsel, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of such other counsel shall be indemnified pursuant to this paragraph (b)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any Subsidiary arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for

116

payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, to or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, a material breach of the Loan Documents by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or any dispute between or among any Indemnitees and their respective Related Parties (other than in respect of any suit, claim or other proceeding brought by an Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties against the Administrative Agent).

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the Borrower's obligation to do so, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender's pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender's "pro rata share" shall be determined based upon its share of the aggregate Revolving Exposures, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(a) (which shall apply mutatis mutandis to the Lenders' obligations under this paragraph (c)).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days after written demand therefor is made on the Borrower.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or

117

otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 7.01(a), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (C) the Issuing Bank and (D) the Swingline Lender, provided that no consent of the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or Term Commitment.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of a Term Loan, $1,000,000 (and, in each case, in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans, (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective, and (D) the assignee, if prior to the applicable assignment it was not a Lender, shall deliver to the

118

Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) and an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee's compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For purposes of paragraph (b) of this Section, the term "Approved Fund" and "CLO" have the following meanings:

"Approved Fund" means (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

"CLO" means an entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and is administered or managed by a Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have accrued for such Lender's account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

119

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee's completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(e) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) The words "execution", "signed", "signature" and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled

120

to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent as to such terms. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to any of the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a "Granting Lender") may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an "SPV"), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) on a need-to-know basis, disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV, provided that, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by law, such SPV shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower prior to any such disclosure.

121

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement (other than contingent obligations not yet due and payable) is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (unless all such Letters of Credit have become subject to cash collateralization or other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (including in respect of fees that would otherwise be payable in connection with such Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) and the Issuing Bank has released the Revolving Lenders from their participation obligations with respect to all such Letters of Credit) and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

122

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The applicable Lender and the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

123

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

ARTICLE II

Guarantee

Section 2.01. Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance in full of the Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that any of the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.

Section 2.02. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.03. No Limitations. (a) Except for termination of a Guarantor's obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 7.13, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any 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 (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of, impairment of or failure to perfect any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the payment and performance of the Obligations or any of them; (iv) any default, failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet accrued and payable)). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, (A) to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, (B) to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), (C) to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in its sole discretion in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or (D) to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet accrued and payable). The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Loan Party (in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent all the Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

Section 2.04. Reinstatement. Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guarantee 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 any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise.

Section 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the unpaid amount of such Obligation, to be distributed among such Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of such Obligation owed to them on the date of such distribution. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article VI.

Section 2.06. Information. Each Guarantor (a) assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower's and each other Loan Party's financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder and (b) agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Grantors of the suspension of their rights under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or

other distributions or payments that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 3.06 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 receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Security Interest granted hereunder attach to, and the Article 9 Collateral shall not include, (i) any asset of any Grantor to the extent that and for so long as the grant of a security interest therein is prohibited by (A) any Requirement of Law of any Governmental Authority, (B) any contractual restriction in effect as of the date hereof or (C) solely in the case of any assets of or interests in any Person that is not a wholly-owned Subsidiary, the organizational documents of such Person as in effect as of the date hereof (in the case of any such prohibitions referenced in the immediately preceding clauses (B) and (C), so long as such prohibitions are not otherwise prohibited by any of the Loan Documents), (ii) (A) more than 65% of the issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary, (B) the Equity Interests of Handspring Facility Company, LLC, (C) the Equity Interests of any Immaterial Subsidiary (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall not be required to grant a security interest in its 1% interest in either Palm Chile Limitada or Palm Colombia Limitada for so long as a majority of the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary is held by a Person that is not a Loan Party) and (D) the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary that is not a wholly-owned Subsidiary if the Borrower reasonably determines that the pledge of such Equity Interests hereunder will materially interfere with its relationship with minority shareholders of such Subsidiary, (iii) any contract or agreement to which a Grantor is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder if and for so long as the grant of such security interest shall constitute or result in (A) the unenforceability of any right of the Grantor therein or (B) in a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such contract or agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC or any other applicable law or principles of equity); provided, however, that such Security Interest shall attach immediately at such time as the condition causing such unenforceability shall be remedied and, to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of such contract or agreement that does not result in any of the consequences specified in subclauses (A) or (B) of this clause (iii), including any Proceeds of such contract or agreement, (iv) any motor vehicles owned by any Grantor or any other assets subject to certificates of title, (v) any Letter of Credit Rights held by any Grantor, (vi) any Commercial Tort Claims held by any Grantor, (vii) any trust accounts, payroll accounts and escrow accounts maintained by any Grantor, (viii) any asset or property that is subject to a purchase money Lien or Lien securing Capital Lease Obligations, in each case,

permitted under the Credit Agreement to the extent that the documents relating to such purchase money Lien or Capital Lease Obligations would not permit such asset or property to be subject to the Security Interests created hereby (other than to the extent that any such restriction in any such document would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC or any other applicable law or principles of equity) and (ix) any asset to the extent that (A) the cost of creating or perfecting such security interest is, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, excessive in relation to the benefit of the Secured Parties to be afforded thereby or (B) the creation of a security interest in respect thereof would result in adverse tax or accounting consequences as reasonably determined by the Borrower.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Grantor shall be required to enter into any control agreement (including any deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement) with respect to any Collateral.

Section 4.02. Representations and Warranties. The Grantors jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that:

(a) Each Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained.

(b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set forth therein (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall have until the date that is 60 days after the Effective Date to finalize Schedule 11 to the Perfection Certificate and this representation and warranty is qualified by such fact), including the exact legal name of each Grantor, is correct and complete as of the Effective Date.

applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements and, as required, amendments to any such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations. Except with respect to Intellectual Property acquired by the Grantors from (x) BenQ Mobile GmbH & Co. on July 1, 2007, and (y) Lampdesk Corporation on October 3, 2007 (in each case, in respect of which a fully executed short-form security agreement shall have been delivered as provided below no later than the date that is 180 days after the Effective Date), fully executed short-form security agreements containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property with respect to United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending) and United States registered Copyrights have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for delivery to and recording by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. � 261, 15 U.S.C. � 1060 or 17 U.S.C. � 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, and otherwise as may be required pursuant to the laws of any other necessary jurisdiction, to protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending) and United States registered Copyrights in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending) and United States registered Copyrights acquired or developed after the date hereof or to amend, as required, any such filing, recording or registration). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, it is understood and agreed (and the foregoing representation and warranty and the representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.02(c) are each qualified by the fact) that the Borrower shall have until the date that is 60 days after the Effective Date to finalize Schedule II to the Collateral Disclosure Letter and to deliver for filing, recording or registration short-form security agreements to the United States Patent and Trademark Office in respect of any additional Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property for which short-form security agreements were not delivered to the United States Patent and Trademark Office in respect of Intellectual Property listed on Schedule II to the Collateral Disclosure Letter as of the Effective Date.

(c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings to be made by the Administrative Agent described in Section 4.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law in such jurisdictions and (iii) upon the receipt from the Administrative Agent and recording by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, of the short-form security agreements described in Section 4.02(b), a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of such short-form security agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright

Office, as applicable, within the three-month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 35 U.S.C. � 261 or 15 U.S.C. � 1060 or the one-month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 17 U.S.C. � 205. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (x) Permitted Encumbrances and other Liens permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement that have priority as a matter of law and (y) Liens permitted under clause (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4.03. Covenants. (a) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change in (i) its legal name, (ii) except in the case of any Grantor that is a registered organization, the location of its chief executive office, (iii) its type of organization, (iv) its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number or (v) its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization. To the extent applicable, each Grantor agrees to promptly provide the Administrative Agent with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes described in the first sentence of this paragraph. Each Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the second preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Administrative Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest, having the priority required by this Agreement, in all the Article 9 Collateral. Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent if any material portion of the Article 9 Collateral owned or held by such Grantor is damaged or destroyed or otherwise becomes subject to any condemnation or similar proceeding.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to (i) maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and accurate records with respect to the Article 9 Collateral owned by it as is consistent with its current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged, but in any event to include accounting records maintained in accordance with GAAP indicating all payments and proceeds received with respect to any part of the Article 9 Collateral, and (ii) at such time or times as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (but, in any event, not more than once during any calendar year, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), promptly to prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent showing the type, aggregate amount and location of any and all Article 9 Collateral.

(c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 5.01(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate executed by a Financial Officer or the chief legal officer of the Borrower setting forth the information required to be set forth in the Perfection Certificate as if the Perfection Certificate were to be delivered as of the date of such certificate (it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall not be obligated to redeliver any information that was previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) to the extent that such information has not been modified or supplemented) or, if applicable, confirming that there has been no change in such information since the later of the date of the Perfection Certificate delivered on the Effective Date or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 4.03(c). Each certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) shall identify in the format of Schedule II to the Collateral Disclosure Letter (A) all Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (as well as, in each case, applications therefor) of any Grantor and (B) all Patent Licenses, Trademark Licenses and Copyright Licenses of any Grantor that are material to the conduct of any Grantor's business, in each case in existence on the date thereof and not then listed on Schedule II to the Collateral Disclosure Letter (including any prior supplements thereto).

(d) Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all actions reasonably necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Administrative Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

(e) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. If any amount payable to any Grantor under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument (other than any promissory note or other instrument in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000 owed to the applicable Grantor by any Person) shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, with prompt notice thereof to the Grantors, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule II to the Collateral Disclosure Letter or adding additional schedules thereto to identify specifically any asset or item that may constitute Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks, provided that any Grantor shall have the right, exercisable within 30 days after it has been notified by the Administrative Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral, to advise the Administrative Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of the representations

and warranties made by such Grantor hereunder with respect to such Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be necessary in order that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct with respect to such Collateral within 60 days after the date it has been notified by the Administrative Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral.

(f) Subject to the inspection and related limitations set forth in Section 5.08 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and such representatives as the Administrative Agent may reasonably designate shall have the right, at the Grantors' own cost and expense, to inspect the Article 9 Collateral, all records related thereto (and to make extracts and copies from such records) and the premises upon which any of the Article 9 Collateral is located, to discuss the Grantors' affairs with the officers of the Grantors and their independent accountants and to verify under reasonable procedures, the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or other Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third party (but only if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), by contacting Account Debtors or the third party possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The Administrative Agent shall have the absolute right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any other Secured Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall be required pursuant to this Agreement to disclose or discuss any matter, or permit the inspection, examination or making of extracts of any document, book or record, that (i) constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information (in each case, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided that, in such case, such information shall be available to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (or to any Lender to the extent such visit or inspection is coordinated through the Administrative Agent, provided that, in connection with such information, each such Lender shall be subject to customary "clean-room" restrictions that are reasonably satisfactory to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower)), (ii) in respect of which disclosure to any such Person is, at that time, prohibited by applicable law or any binding contractual agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client privilege or similar privilege or which constitutes attorney work product.

(g) At its option, the Administrative Agent may discharge past due Taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to Taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(h) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such

Grantor shall (i) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such security interest and (ii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, promptly assign such security interest to the Administrative Agent. Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(i) Each Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations required to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

(j) None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Article 9 Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Article 9 Collateral, except as permitted by the Credit Agreement. Subject to the immediately following sentence, none of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Article 9 Collateral and each Grantor shall remain at all times in possession of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it, except that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Grantors that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and that during the continuance thereof the Grantors shall not sell, convey, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Article 9 Collateral (which notice may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing), the Grantors may use, transfer, sell, convey, lease, assign and otherwise dispose of the Article 9 Collateral in any lawful manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(k) None of the Grantors will, without the Administrative Agent's prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), grant any extension of the time of payment of any Accounts in an amount in excess of $5,000,000 included in the Article 9 Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, compromises, settlements, releases, credits or discounts granted or made in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with such prudent and standard practice used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which such Grantor is engaged or pursuant to any applicable Bankruptcy Proceeding.

(l) The Grantors, at their own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or damage to the Inventory and Equipment in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Grantor's true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required under any Loan Document or to pay

any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Administrative Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or under any Loan Document or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Administrative Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

(m) Each Grantor shall maintain, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, records of its Chattel Paper and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto.

Section 4.04. Other Actions. In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Administrative Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor's own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

(a) Instruments. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments (other than any Instrument with a face value of less than $5,000,000), such Grantor shall promptly deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request (and, to the extent applicable, such Instrument shall be endorsed by such Grantor as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request).

(b) Deposit Accounts. For each Deposit Account (other than such account that is solely (x) a payroll, benefits, trust or escrow account or (y) a pledged account permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement) that any Grantor at any time opens or maintains, such Grantor shall either (i) cause the depositary bank to agree to comply with instructions from the Administrative Agent to such depositary bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such Deposit Account, without further consent of such Grantor or any other Person, pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that, to the extent such form contains customary terms and conditions, an agreement on the applicable depositary bank's standard form shall be deemed to be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the customer of the depositary bank with respect to such Deposit Account, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Administrative Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such Deposit Account. The Administrative Agent agrees with each Grantor that the Administrative Agent shall not give any such instructions or withhold any withdrawal rights from any Grantor unless an Event of Default specified in clause (a), (b), (g), (h), (i), (j) or (k) of Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any withdrawal, would occur. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply prior to the date that is 90 days after the date hereof and shall not apply to (A) any Deposit Account for which any Grantor, the depositary bank and the Administrative Agent have entered into a cash collateral agreement specially negotiated among such Grantor, the depositary bank and the Administrative Agent for the specific purpose set forth therein, (B) Deposit Accounts for which the Administrative Agent is the depositary or (C) any Deposit Account that has an aggregate cash

balance of less than $5,000,000 (determined at the end of any Business Day and after giving effect to any daily sweep of such account); provided, however, that the aggregate cash balances of all Deposit Accounts of the Grantors excluded from the requirements of this paragraph (b) pursuant to this clause (C) shall not, at any time, exceed $20,000,000.

(c) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article III or Article IV, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor shall promptly deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify (and, to the extent applicable, such certificated securities shall be endorsed by such Grantor as the Administrative Agent may reasonable request). If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the Administrative Agent's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Administrative Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. If any securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other Investment Property now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are held by such Grantor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary (other than such account that is solely (x) a payroll, benefits, trust or escrow account or (y) a pledged account permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement), such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, at the Administrative Agent's request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that, to the extent such form contains customary terms and conditions, an agreement on the applicable intermediary's standard form shall be deemed to be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), either (i) cause such securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, as the case may be, to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Administrative Agent to such securities intermediary as to such security entitlements, or to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Administrative Agent to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of any Grantor, such nominee or any other Person, or (ii) in the case of Financial Assets or other Investment Property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such Investment Property, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Administrative Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such Investment Property. The Administrative Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that the Administrative Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, unless an Event of Default specified in clause (a), (b), (g), (h), (i), (j) or (k) of Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or, after giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply prior to the date that is 90 days after the date hereof and shall not apply to (A) any Financial Assets credited to a securities account for which the Administrative Agent is the securities intermediary and (B) any securities accounts that has an aggregate balance of less than $5,000,000 (determined at the end of any Business Day and after giving effect to any daily sweep of such account); provided, however, that the aggregate balances of all securities accounts excluded from the requirements of this paragraph (c) pursuant to this clause (B) shall not, at any time, exceed $20,000,000.

Section 4.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

(a) Except as otherwise required by applicable law, each Grantor agrees that it will not do any act or omit to do any act (and will take such actions that are consistent with such Grantor's past practice to prevent its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent that is material to the conduct of any Grantor's business may become invalidated or dedicated to the public (it being understood and agreed that the use by any Person of any Patent of such Grantor in connection with open source software (to the extent that such Patent is granted by such Grantor in the ordinary course of business for such use) shall not be deemed to be a dedication of such Patent to the public for purposes of this paragraph (a)), and agrees that it shall continue to mark any products covered by a Patent that is material to the conduct of any Grantor's business with the relevant patent number in a manner that is consistent with such Grantor's past practices.

(b) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or its sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of any Grantor's business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain in all material respects the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign registration in a manner consistent with such Grantor's past practices and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit the use of such Trademark in any violation of any third party rights.

(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a Copyright material to the conduct of any Grantor's business, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice in a manner consistent with such Grantor's past practices.

(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly if it knows or has reason to know that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of any Grantor's business may become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor's ownership of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of any Grantor's business, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same.

(e) Each Grantor shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent as of the date of delivery of each officer's certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement of all filings of applications for any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (or for the registration of any Patent, Trademark or Copyright) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, in each case made by such Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, during the fiscal quarter period most-recently ended prior to the date of such officer's certificate and (ii) upon request of the

Administrative Agent but subject to clause (i) below, execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Administrative Agent's security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings solely for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, provided that any such filings made with the United States Patent and Trademark Office shall be in a form consistent with the filings made on the Effective Date (including, unless the Borrower otherwise consents, the filing with respect to each Patent application on a separate agreement) and the Borrower shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review any such writings prior to the filing thereof.

(f) To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Grantor will take all necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each registration or application that is material to the conduct of any Grantor's business relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material to the conduct of any Grantor's business, including timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if such Grantor determines it to be appropriate in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancelation proceedings against third parties.

(g) In the event that any Grantor has reason to believe that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of any Grantor's business has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party in any material respect, such Grantor shall, if such Grantor determines it to be appropriate in its reasonable business judgment, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution (and take any actions required by applicable law prior to instituting such suit), and take such other actions as such Grantor determines to be appropriate in its reasonable business judgment under the circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral, and such Grantor shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any such suit and other actions.

(h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License material to the conduct of any Grantor's business under which each Grantor is a licensee to effect the assignment of all such Grantor's right, title and interest thereunder to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

(i) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, as soon as practicable to make such filings and to take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in each non-U.S. jurisdiction in which such Grantor owns any Intellectual Property in order to create and/or perfect the Security Interest with respect to such Intellectual Property in such jurisdiction, provided that no Grantor shall be obligated to make any such filing or take any such other action where the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that the cost of such filing or action exceeds the value of the security afforded thereby.

ARTICLE V

Remedies

Section 5.01. Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Administrative Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times, in each case to the extent not otherwise prohibited by any applicable law: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a 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. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral 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 Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Administrative Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days' written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Administrative Agent's intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a 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 Collateral, 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 state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, 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 any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall 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 any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may 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 Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Administrative Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Administrative Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full. 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 this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Section 5.02. Application of Proceeds. The Administrative Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

(a) FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Security Document) in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(b) SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Second Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

The Administrative Agent shall have sole and absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

Section 5.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. Solely for the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants, subject to any then-existing licensing arrangements, to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any of the Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired or licensed by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Administrative Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

Section 5.04. Securities Act. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 called the "Federal Securities Laws") with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might 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 Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could 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 part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Administrative Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such

Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Administrative Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Administrative Agent sells.

Section 5.05. Registration. Each Grantor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if for any reason the Administrative Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Collateral issued by any Subsidiary at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time (to the extent doing so would be commercially reasonable at the applicable time), upon the reasonable written request of the Administrative Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Administrative Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including reasonable fees and expenses to the Administrative Agent of legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Grantor or the issuer of such Pledged Collateral by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each Grantor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Collateral under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such states as may be requested by the Administrative Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Grantor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 5.05. Each Grantor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.05 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 5.05 may be specifically enforced.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

Section 6.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6.03), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment in respect of any Obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Grantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part any Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Borrower shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

Section 6.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor and Grantor (a "Contributing Party") agrees (subject to Section 6.03) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor (other than the Borrower) hereunder in respect of any Obligation or assets of any other Grantor (other than the Borrower) shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such other Guarantor or Grantor (the "Claiming Party") shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 6.01, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor or Grantor that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.14, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor or Grantor) and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors and Grantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor or Grantor that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.14, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor or Grantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall (subject to Section 6.03) be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 6.01 to the extent of such payment.

Section 6.03. Subordination. (a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors and Grantors under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of the Guarantors and Grantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor or Grantor to make the payments required by Sections 6.01 and 6.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Grantor with respect to its Obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor and Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the Obligations of such Guarantor or Grantor hereunder.

(b) Each Guarantor and Grantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to, or to it by, any other Guarantor or Grantor shall be fully

subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations at any time when a Default has occurred and is continuing (it being understood that the Guarantors and Grantors may continue to make payments on such Indebtedness and other monetary obligations unless notified in writing to the contrary by the Administrative Agent).

ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous

Section 7.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Party shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.02. Waivers; Amendment. (a) failure or delay by any Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 7.03. Administrative Agent's Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Grantor and Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or

performance of this Agreement or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or any agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, a material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties or any dispute between or among any Indemnitees and their Related Parties (other than in respect of any suit, claim or other proceeding brought by an Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties against the Administrative Agent).

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

Section 7.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor, Grantor or the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Except for any such assignment resulting from a merger permitted under Section 6.03 of the Credit Agreement, no Guarantor or Grantor shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder or any of its interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any purported assignment or delegation in contravention of this paragraph shall be void.

Section 7.05. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Obligation or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

Section 7.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder. This Agreement, together with the Collateral Disclosure Letter and the other Loan Documents, constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 7.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 7.08. Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Secured Party or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary Party against any of and all the obligations of such Subsidiary Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement owed to such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Secured Party shall notify such Subsidiary Party and the Administrative Agent of such set-off and application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off and application under this Section. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 7.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Secured Party may have.

Section 7.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Guarantor or Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.09. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 7.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.10.

Section 7.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 7.12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor and Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.

Section 7.13. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement, and the Guarantees made herein, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all the Loan Document Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Lenders have no further commitment to lend or issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and all Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated (or otherwise become subject to cash collateralization or other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (including in respect of fees that would otherwise be payable in connection with such Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and the Issuing Bank has released the Revolving Lenders from their participation obligations with respect to all such Letters of Credit).

(b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower, provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.

(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement (other than a sale or other transfer to a Loan Party), or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.13, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor's expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release of its obligations or the Security Interests in its Collateral. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.14. Additional Subsidiaries. Pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement, certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower may be required from time to time to enter into this Agreement as a Subsidiary Party. Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and any Subsidiary of the Borrower of an instrument in the form of Exhibit I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Party in this Agreement. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.

Section 7.15. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Subject to the next sentence, each Grantor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Administrative Agent's name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts Receivable to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Administrative Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Administrative Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Administrative Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

Exhibit E

AFFILIATE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT dated as of October 24, 2007 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this "Agreement"), among the subordinated lenders listed on Schedule I hereto (each a "Subordinated Lender" and collectively, the "Subordinated Lenders"), PALM, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), each Subsidiary of the Borrower listed on Schedule II hereto (together with the Borrower, each a "Subordinated Borrower" and collectively, the "Subordinated Borrowers") and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. ("JPMCB"), in its capacity as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent") under the Credit Agreement (as defined below), for the benefit of the Senior Lenders (as defined below).

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of October 24, 2007 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among the Borrower, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto as lenders (in their capacities as such, the "Senior Lenders"), the Administrative Agent, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc, as syndication agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The ability under Section 6.01(a)(iii) and Section 6.01(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement of any Subordinated Borrower to incur Indebtedness to any Subordinated Lender is conditioned upon the execution and delivery by such Subordinated Lender and such Subordinated Borrower of an agreement on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that the terms set forth in this Agreement are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) pursuant to which such Subordinated Lender agrees to subordinate its rights with respect to the Subordinated Obligations (as defined below) to the rights of the Senior Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all on the terms set forth herein.

Accordingly, each Subordinated Lender, each Subordinated Borrower and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each Senior Lender (and each of their respective successors or permitted assigns), hereby agrees as follows:

1. Subordination. (a) Each Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that all its right, title and interest in and to the Subordinated Obligations (as defined herein) of each Subordinated Borrower shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the rights of the Senior Lenders in respect of the Obligations of such Subordinated Borrower arising under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the payment of principal, premium (if any), interest (including interest accruing on or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization relating to any Subordinated Borrower whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed or allowable in any such

proceeding), fees, charges, expenses, indemnities, reimbursement obligations, guarantees required to be paid under any Loan Document and all other amounts payable thereunder or in respect thereof (collectively, the "Senior Obligations"). For purposes hereof, "Subordinated Obligations" means all obligations of each Subordinated Borrower to each Subordinated Lender in respect of Indebtedness, including in respect of principal, premium (if any), interest (including interest accruing on or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization relating to any Subordinated Borrower whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed or allowable in any such proceeding), fees, charges, expenses, indemnities, reimbursement obligations and other amounts payable in respect thereof, that is required to be subordinated to the Senior Obligations under Section 6.01(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, as well as Guarantees by each Subordinated Borrower under Section 6.01(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement in respect of Indebtedness owed by another Subordinated Borrower to the Subordinated Lenders.

(b) Each Subordinated Borrower and each Subordinated Lender agrees (in each case solely with respect to the Subordinated Obligations in respect of which it is the obligor or obligee, as the case may be, and solely with respect to each Subordinated Borrower or Subordinated Lender that is its counterparty on such Subordinated Obligations) that no payment (whether directly, by purchase, redemption or exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, whether as principal, interest or otherwise, and whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made by or on behalf of any Subordinated Borrower or received, accepted or demanded, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of any Subordinated Lender, when an Event of Default exists and the Borrower has received a written notice from the Required Lenders (or from the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders) prohibiting any further payment in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, so long as any such Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (provided that such notice shall not be required to be given (and no such payment may be made) if the Event of Default is of the type set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement).

(c) Upon any distribution of the assets of any Subordinated Borrower or upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of any Subordinated Borrower, in each case in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement or receivership proceedings, or upon any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Subordinated Borrower:

(i) the Senior Lenders shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations (whenever arising) before any Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations of such Subordinated Borrower, whether of principal, interest or otherwise; and

(ii) any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, such Subordinated Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, to which any Subordinated Lender would be entitled to receive as payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations of such Subordinated Borrower except for the provisions of this Section 1(c) shall be paid or delivered

by the person making such payment or distribution (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, until the payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations (other than contingent amounts not yet due) to be credited and applied to the Senior Obligations as set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Until the payment in full in cash of all monetary Senior Obligations (other than contingent amounts not yet due), each Subordinated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Subordinated Lender, agrees not to ask, demand, sue for or take or receive from any Subordinated Borrower in cash, securities or other property or by setoff, purchase or redemption (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral), payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations (it being understood that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Subordinated Borrower may make, and a Subordinated Lender may take or receive, payments permitted to be made by a Subordinated Borrower under clause (b) above) and agrees that in connection with any proceeding in respect of any Subordinated Borrower under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, receivership or similar law (i) the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of such Subordinated Lender or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in the preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim to the extent the Subordinated Lender has failed to do so and take such other action (including voting the applicable Subordinated Obligations and enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of such Subordinated Obligations) as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interest of the Senior Lenders and (ii) such Subordinated Lender shall promptly take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to (A) collect amounts in respect of the applicable Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Senior Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of such Subordinated Obligations, (B) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such irrevocable powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to enable the Administrative Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the applicable Subordinated Obligations and (C) collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the applicable Subordinated Obligations. A copy of this Agreement may be filed with any court as evidence of the Senior Lenders' right, power and authority hereunder.

(d) In the event that any payment by, or on behalf of, or distribution of the assets of, any Subordinated Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, and whether directly, by purchase, redemption, exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, shall be received by or on behalf of any Subordinated Lender at a time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by this Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be held by such Subordinated Lender (segregated from other property of such Subordinated Lender) for the benefit of, and shall forthwith be paid over to, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, until the payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations (other than contingent amounts not yet due).

(e) Subject to the prior payment in full in cash of the Senior Obligations (other than contingent amounts not yet due), each applicable Subordinated Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Lenders to receive payments or distributions in cash, securities or other property of each applicable Subordinated Borrower applicable to the Senior Obligations until all amounts owing on the Senior Obligations shall be paid in full in cash, and, as between and among a Subordinated Borrower, its creditors (other than the Senior Lenders) and the applicable Subordinated Lenders, no such payment or distribution made to the Senior Lenders by virtue of this Agreement that otherwise would have been made to any applicable Subordinated Lender shall be deemed to be a payment by the applicable Subordinated Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this paragraph (e) are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Lenders and the Senior Lenders.

(f) Each Subordinated Lender agrees that all the proceeds of any (i) security of any nature whatsoever for any Subordinated Obligations on any property or assets, whether now existing or hereafter acquired, of any Subordinated Borrower or any subsidiary of any Subordinated Borrower (to the extent any direct Indebtedness owed to such Subordinated Lender by such subsidiary of the Subordinated Borrower would be required to be subordinated to the Senior Obligations under Section 6.01(a)(iii) and Section 6.01(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement), or (ii) guarantee, of any nature whatsoever, by any Subordinated Borrower or any subsidiary of any Subordinated Borrower (to the extent any direct Indebtedness owed to such Subordinated Lender by such subsidiary of the Subordinated Borrower would be required to be subordinated to the Senior Obligations under Section 6.01(a)(iii) and Section 6.01(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement), of any Subordinated Obligations shall be subject to the provisions hereof with respect to payments and other distributions in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.

(g) Each Subordinated Lender agrees that it will not take any action to cause any Subordinated Obligations to become payable prior to their scheduled maturity or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce any Subordinated Obligation, in each case if the payment of such Subordinated Obligation is then prohibited by this Agreement.

2. Waivers and Consents. (a) Each Subordinated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Subordinated Lender, waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the right to compel that the Collateral or any other assets or property of any Subordinated Borrower or the assets or property of any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person be applied in any particular order to discharge the Senior Obligations. Each Subordinated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Subordinated Lender, expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the right to require the Senior Lenders to proceed against any Subordinated Borrower, the Collateral or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or to pursue any other remedy in any Senior Lender's power which such Subordinated Lender cannot pursue,

notwithstanding that the failure of any Senior Lender to do so may thereby prejudice such Subordinated Lender. Each Subordinated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Subordinated Lender, agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it shall not be discharged, exonerated or have its obligations hereunder to the Senior Lenders reduced by any Senior Lender's delay in proceeding against or enforcing any remedy against any Subordinated Borrower, the Collateral or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person; by any Senior Lender releasing any Subordinated Borrower, the Collateral or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person from all or any part of the Senior Obligations; or by the discharge of any Subordinated Borrower, the Collateral or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person by an operation of law or otherwise, with or without the intervention or omission of a Senior Lender. Any Senior Lender's vote to accept or reject any plan of reorganization relating to any Subordinated Borrower, the Collateral, or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person, or any Senior Lender's receipt on account of all or part of the Senior Obligations of any cash, securities or other property distributed in any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case, shall not discharge, exonerate, or reduce the obligations of any Subordinated Lender hereunder to the Senior Lenders, except to the extent of the payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations.

(b) Each Subordinated Lender waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Senior Lenders, even though that election of remedies, including any nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Senior Obligations, has impaired the value of such Subordinated Lender's rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or contribution against any Subordinated Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person. Each Subordinated Lender expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any rights or defenses it may have by reason of protection afforded to any Subordinated Borrower or any other guarantor of the Senior Obligations or any other Person with respect to the Senior Obligations pursuant to any anti-deficiency laws or other laws of similar import which limit or discharge the principal debtor's indebtedness upon judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of real property or personal property Collateral for the Senior Obligations.

(c) Each Subordinated Lender agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against it, and without notice to or further assent by it, any demand for payment of any Senior Obligations made by a Senior Lender may be rescinded in whole or in part by the Senior Lender, and any Senior Obligation may be continued, and the Senior Obligations, or the liability of the applicable Subordinated Borrower or any other guarantor or any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any Collateral or guarantee under any Loan Document therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Senior Lenders, in each case without notice to or further assent by any Subordinated Lender, which will remain bound under this Agreement and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination and other agreements provided for herein.

(d) Each Subordinated Lender waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations. The Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed conclusively to have been created, contracted or incurred, and the consent of the Senior Lenders to the creation of the obligations of each Subordinated Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations shall be deemed conclusively to have been given, in each case in reliance upon this Agreement, and all dealings between each Subordinated Borrower and the Senior Lenders shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Lenders have relied upon the subordination and other agreements provided for herein in consenting to the Subordinated Obligations. Each Subordinated Lender waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice of or proof of reliance on this Agreement and protest, demand for payment and notice of default.

3. Transfers. Each Subordinated Lender shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer or dispose of, in whole or in part, all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein to any other Person (any such transferee, a "Transferee") or create, incur or suffer to exist any security interest, Lien, charge or other encumbrance whatsoever upon all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations, in each case except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement, provided that promptly upon any such transfer, any Transferee shall become a party hereto to the extent the Indebtedness to be transferred to such Transferee would, upon such transfer, be required to be subordinated to the Senior Obligations under Section 6.01(a)(iii) and Section 6.01(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement.

4. Senior Obligations Unconditional. All rights and interests of the Senior Lenders hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Subordinated Lenders and the Subordinated Borrowers hereunder, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Senior Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Lien in any collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of, or consent to departure from, any guarantee under any Loan Document of any of the Senior Obligations; or

(d) any other circumstances (except payment or performance of the Senior Obligations) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Subordinated Borrower in respect of the Senior Obligations, or of the Subordinated Lender or any Subordinated Borrower in respect of this Agreement.

5. Representations and Warranties. Each Subordinated Lender and Subordinated Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, as of the date hereof, for the benefit of the Senior Lenders that:

(a) it has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute and deliver and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; and

(b) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Subordinated Lender or Subordinated Borrower, as the case may be, and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subordinated Lender or Subordinated Borrower, as the case may be, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

6. Waiver of Claims. (a) To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Subordinated Lender waives any claim it might have, solely in its capacity as a Subordinated Lender, against any Senior Lender (solely in its capacity as such) with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment, negligence, or mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of any Senior Lender or its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral except to the extent such action, or failure to act, or error in judgment, mistake or oversight is the result of gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith of any such party or the breach by such party of any Loan Document. Neither the Senior Lenders nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Guarantee or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Subordinated Borrower or any Subordinated Lender or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral Agreement or any part thereof.

(b) Each Subordinated Lender, for itself and on behalf of its successors and assigns, hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all now existing or hereafter arising rights it may have to require the Senior Lenders to marshall assets for the benefit of such Subordinated Lender, or to otherwise direct the timing, order or manner of any sale, collection or other enforcement of the Collateral or enforcement of the Loan Documents. The Senior Lenders are under no duty or obligation, and each Subordinated Lender hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to compel the Senior Lenders, to pursue any guarantor or other Person who may be liable for the Senior Obligations, or to enforce any Lien or security interest in any Collateral.

(c) Each Subordinated Lender hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights which a guarantor or surety with respect to the Senior Obligations could exercise.

(d) Each Subordinated Lender hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any duty on the part of the Senior Lenders to disclose to it any fact known or hereafter known by the Senior Lenders relating to the operation or financial condition of any Subordinated Borrower or any guarantor of the Senior Obligations, or their respective businesses. Each Subordinated Lender enters into this Agreement based solely upon its independent knowledge of the applicable Subordinated Borrower's results of operations, financial condition and business and such Subordinated Lender assumes full responsibility for obtaining any further or future information with respect to the applicable Subordinated Borrower or its, results of operations, financial condition or business.

7. Further Assurances. Each Subordinated Lender and each Subordinated Borrower, at their own expense and at any time from time to time, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, will promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Administrative Agent reasonably may request for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

8. Provisions Define Relative Rights. This Agreement is intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Senior Lenders on the one hand and the Subordinated Lenders and the Subordinated Borrowers on the other, and no other Person shall have any right, benefit or other interest under this Agreement.

9. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until the Senior Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet due and payable) are paid in full in cash.

10. Notices.

(b) No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Senior Lenders, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.
