ARTICLE II.
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF ADVANCES
Section 2.01. Advances.
(a) Term Loan; Revolving Credit Advances.
(i) On the Initial Funding Date, the Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement
made a term loan to the Borrower (the Existing Term Loan) under the Existing
Credit Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees
to make a term loan (collectively, the Term Loan) to the Borrower on the
Restatement Effective Date in an amount equal to such Lenders Term Loan Commitment;
provided, that the portion, if any, of the outstanding principal balance of the
Existing Term Loan held by such Lender shall constitute the making of all or a part of such
Lenders portion of the Term Loan in accordance with this sentence and shall be continued as
a portion of the Term Loan hereunder. In the event that any Lender holds a portion of the
Existing Term Loan as of the Restatement Effective Date which is in excess of such Lenders
Term Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender the amount of such excess on the
Restatement Effective Date, which payment may be made by directing another Lender to fund
all or a portion of its share of the Term Loan to such Lender. No amounts paid or prepaid
with respect to the Term Loan may be reborrowed. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to
each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) that makes a request therefor, a note to
evidence the amount of the Term Loan made by such Lender. Each such note (each, a Term
Loan Note) shall be (x) in the principal amount of the amount of the Term Loan made or
held by such Lender, (y) dated the date of issuance thereof, and (z) substantially in the
form of Exhibit 2.01(a)(i). Each Term Loan Note shall represent the obligation of
the Borrower to pay the amount of the related Lenders Pro Rata Share of the outstanding
Term Loan, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06.
(ii) In addition, from and after the Restatement Effective Date and until the
Commitment Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender
severally agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of revolving advances (each such advance
hereunder, a Revolving Credit Advance) to the Borrower from time to time.
Immediately prior to and after giving effect to any Advance under Section 2.03(b),
the Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit Advances shall not exceed the Maximum
Revolving Commitment Amount and the Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit
Advances made by each Lender (and the obligations of such Lender under Section
2.01(b)(ii) and (iii)) shall not exceed such Lenders Revolving Commitment.
Except to the extent provided in Section 2.06(c), no Lender shall make any Revolving
Credit Advances if, after giving effect thereto, a Funding Excess would exist. The Borrower
may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Advances hereunder on the
terms and conditions set forth herein. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender
(other than the Swing Line Lender) that makes a request therefor, a note (each, a
Revolving Note) to evidence the Revolving Credit Advances which may be made
hereunder from time to time by such Lender. Each such note shall be (x) in the principal
amount of the Revolving Commitment of the applicable Lender, (y) dated the date of issuance
thereof, and (z) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a)(ii). Each Revolving
Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of each Lenders
Revolving Commitment or, if less, such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Outstanding
Principal Amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances made to the Borrower, together
with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06.
2
(b) Swing Line Advances. From and after the Restatement Effective Date and until the
Commitment Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender
agrees to make advances (each such advance hereunder, a Swing Line Advance) to the
Borrower from time to time; provided that if the Swing Line Lender believes in good faith
and within its commercially reasonable credit judgment that one or more Lenders is or will be a
Non-Funding Lender, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion after consultation with the
Borrower and the Servicer, elect not to make the portion of a Swing Line Advance equal to the Pro
Rata Share of such Lender or Lenders of the requested amount of the Swing Line Advance unless the
Swing Line Lender shall have received Adequate Security with respect to such portion of the
requested Swing Line Advance. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.06(c), the Swing
Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Advance if, after giving effect thereto, a Funding Excess
would exist. The aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan shall not at any time exceed the Swing
Line Commitment. Under no circumstances shall the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Advance if,
after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan would exceed the Swing
Line Commitment. The Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Advances
hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Unless the Swing Line Lender has (i)
received prior written notice from any Lender, the Servicer or the Borrower instructing it not to
make a Swing Line Advance because of the failure of any condition precedent set forth in
Section 3.01 or 3.02 to be satisfied or (ii) actual knowledge of the failure of any
condition precedent set forth in Section 3.01 or 3.02 to be satisfied, the Swing
Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any such condition precedent to be satisfied, be
entitled to fund such Swing Line Advance, and to have the Lenders make Revolving Credit Advances in
accordance with Section 2.01(b)(ii) or purchase participating interests in accordance with
Section 2.01(b)(iii). Any Swing Line Advances outstanding under the Existing Credit
Agreement as of the Restatement Effective Date shall constitute Swing Line Advances hereunder.
(i) If requested by the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to
the Swing Line Lender a note to evidence the Swing Line Loan. Such note shall be in the
principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment and substantially in the form of Exhibit
2.01(b)(i) (the Swing Line Note). The Swing Line Note shall represent the
obligation of the Borrower to pay the Swing Line Loan, together with interest thereon as
prescribed in Section 2.06.
(ii) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time not less than two (2)
Business Days after making any Swing Line Advance, shall on behalf of the Borrower (and the
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf)
request each Lender (excluding the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Credit Advance to
the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lenders Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of
the Swing Line Loan (the Refunded Swing Line Loan) outstanding on the date such
notice is given. Unless the Commitment Termination Date has occurred and regardless of
whether the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 to the
making of an Advance are then satisfied, each Lender shall disburse directly to the
Administrative Agent, its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Advance on behalf of the
Swing Line Lender, prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time), in immediately available funds on the
Business Day next succeeding the date on which such notice is given.
(iii) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Credit Advance pursuant
to Section 2.01(b)(ii), the Commitment Termination Date or one of the events
described in Sections 8.01(d) or (e) has occurred, then, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.01(b)(iv) below, each Lender shall, on the date such
Revolving Credit Advance was to have been made for the benefit of the Borrower, purchase
from the Swing Line Lender an undivided
participation interest in the Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share
of such Swing Line Loan. Upon request by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall promptly
transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its
participation interest.
Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement

(iv) Each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with
Section 2.01(b)(ii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with
Section 2.01(b)(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other
right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any Termination Event
or Incipient Termination Event; (C) any inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions
precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement at any time; or (D) other than any Swing
Line Advance that is made in an amount greater than the Swing Line Availability at such time
(unless such Swing Line Advance is made to charge or otherwise pay for amounts described in
Section 2.06), other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not
similar to any of the foregoing. If any Lender does not make available to the
Administrative Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount required pursuant
to Sections 2.01(b)(ii) or (b)(iii), as the case may be, the Swing Line
Lender shall be entitled, in its discretion, to (x) to recover such amount on demand from
such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until
such amount is paid in full at the Federal Funds Rate for the first two Business Days and at
the Index Rate thereafter and (y) apply, to the extent and in satisfaction of such amount,
any collateral provided by or on behalf of such Lender as Adequate Security.
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Swing Line Lender elects
not to make the portion of a Swing Line Advance in respect of any Lender (a Specified
Lender) pursuant to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01(b), each
other Lenders obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section
2.01(b)(ii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section
2.01(b)(iii) in respect of such Swing Line Advance shall be calculated ratably based on
the respective Revolving Commitments of the Lenders (other than, for the avoidance of doubt,
any Lender that is a Specified Lender).
(c) The Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances and all other accrued and unpaid Borrower
Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the
Facility Maturity Date.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lenders pro rata share of (x) the
outstanding Term Loan and (y) the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount shall at all times be the same.
Section 2.02. Changes in Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount.
(a) The Borrower may reduce the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount permanently;
provided, that (i) the Borrower shall give three days prior written notice of any such
reduction to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) (each
such notice, a Commitment Reduction Notice), (ii) any partial reduction of the Maximum
Revolving Commitment Amount shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple
thereof and (iii) no such partial reduction shall reduce the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount
below the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Revolving Credit Advances and Swing Line Advances at
such time (after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of Advances).
Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
4
(b) The Borrower may, at any time, on at least three days prior written notice by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent, irrevocably terminate the Maximum Revolving Commitment
Amount; provided, that (i) such notice of termination shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit 2.02(b) (the Commitment Termination Notice) and (ii) the Borrower shall
make all payments required by Section 2.03(g) at the time and in the manner specified
therein. Upon such termination, the Borrowers right to request that (1) any Lender make Advances
or (2) the Swing Line Lender make Swing Line Advances hereunder, shall in each case simultaneously
terminate and the Commitment Termination Date shall automatically occur.
(c) Each written notice required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02(a) and
(b) shall be irrevocable and shall be effective (i) on the day of receipt if received by
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business
Day and (ii) on the immediately succeeding Business Day if received by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders after such time on such Business Day or if any such notice is received on a day other
than a Business Day (regardless of the time of day such notice is received). Each such notice of
termination or reduction shall specify, respectively, the amount of, or the amount of the proposed
reduction in, the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount.
(d) If the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount is greater than zero, any repayment of the Term
Loan at any time in accordance with Section 2.03(g) shall result in a permanent reduction
of the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount in an amount equal to 50% of such repayment of the Term
Loan.
(e) Any reduction in the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount hereunder shall result in (i) a
reduction in each Lenders Revolving Commitment in an amount equal to such Lenders Pro Rata Share
of the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount is being reduced and (ii) a
proportional reduction in the Swing Line Commitment; provided, however, that no
such partial reduction shall reduce the Swing Line Commitment below the aggregate amount of the
Swing Line Loan.
Section 2.03. Procedures for Making Advances.
(a) Borrowing Requests. Except as provided in Sections 2.06(c), each
Borrowing shall be made upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in the manner
provided herein. Any such notice must be given in writing so that it is received no later than (1)
in the case of any Borrowing of Swing Line Advances, 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day
of the proposed Advance Date set forth therein and (2) in the case of any Borrowing of Revolving
Credit Advances, 12:00 noon (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the Business Day of the
proposed Advance Date set forth therein. Each such notice (a Borrowing Request) shall
(i) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(a), (ii) be irrevocable and (iii) specify
the amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000) and the
proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day), and shall include such other information as
may be reasonably required by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; provided, that no
such notice shall be required for the Borrowing on the Restatement Effective Date of (x) the Term
Loan or (y) the initial Swing Line Advance or initial Revolving Credit Advance hereunder. Unless a
LIBOR Rate Disruption Event shall have occurred, each Advance shall be a LIBOR Rate Advance and,
for the avoidance of doubt, LIBOR Rate Advances may be requested for any Advance Date.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Borrower requests any Borrowing in a
principal amount that is less than or equal to the Swing Line Availability as of the date such
Borrowing Request is delivered, such requested Borrowing shall initially be funded as a Swing Line
Advance (until such Swing Line Advance is refunded in accordance with Section 2.01(b));
provided, that if the Swing Line Lender has elected (or will elect) not to make any portion
of a Swing Line Advance pursuant to the
proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.01(b), the Borrower may request that a
Borrowing instead be funded as a Revolving Credit Advance.

(b) Advances; Payments.
(i) (A) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt of a Borrowing Request
delivered in accordance with Section 2.03(a) and in any event prior to 2:00 p.m.
(New York time) on the date such Borrowing Request is deemed received, by telecopy,
telephone or other similar form of communication notify the Swing Line Lender or the
Lenders, as applicable, of its receipt of a Borrowing Request relating to a request for
Swing Line Advances or Revolving Credit Advances, as applicable, and (B) the Swing Line
Lender or the Lenders, as applicable, shall make the amount of such Swing Line Advance
available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the
Administrative Agents account as set forth in Annex W not later than 3:00 p.m. (New
York time) on the requested Advance Date. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the
Administrative Agents sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.03(c), before
receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation,
the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02), the
Administrative Agent shall make available to the account designated by the Borrower on the
Advance Date therefor, the lesser of (x) the amount of the requested Borrowing and (y) the
Funding Availability. All payments by each Lender under this Section 2.03(b)(i)
shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii) On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent will advise each Lender (other
than the Swing Line Lender) by telephone or telecopy of the amount of such Lenders Pro Rata
Share of principal, interest and Fees (to the extent payable to all Lenders) paid for the
benefit of Lenders with respect to each Advance. Provided that such Lender has made all
payments required to be made by it and purchased all participations required to be purchased
by it under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as of such Settlement Date,
the Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender such Lenders Pro Rata Share of principal,
interest and Fees (to the extent payable to all Lenders) with respect to each applicable
Advance, paid by the Borrower since the previous Settlement Date for the benefit of that
Lender. Such payments shall be made by wire transfer to such Lenders account (as specified
by such Lender in Annex W or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than
3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Settlement Date.
(iii) On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent will advise the Swing Line
Lender of the amount of principal, interest and Fees paid for the benefit of the Swing Line
Lender with respect to the Swing Line Loan. The Administrative Agent will pay to the Swing
Line Lender the amount of principal, interest and Fees paid by the Borrower since the
previous Settlement Date for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender. Such payments shall be
made by wire transfer or by book balance to the Swing Line Lenders account (as specified by
the Swing Line Lender in Annex W or the applicable Assignment Agreement) not later than 3:00
p.m. (New York time) on each Settlement Date.

(c) Availability of Lenders Advances. The Administrative Agent may assume that each
Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing of Advances available to the Administrative
Agent on each Advance Date. If the Administrative Agent has made available to the Borrower such
Lenders Pro Rata Share of any such Borrowing but such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to the
Administrative Agent by such Lender when due, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover
such amount on demand from (x) such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind
and (y)
any collateral provided as Adequate Security. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its
Pro Rata Share forthwith upon the Administrative Agents demand, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to the
Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.03(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance
funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Loan
Commitment or Revolving Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that the
Administrative Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed
therefor on the same Business Day as such Revolving Credit Advance is made, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Revolving Credit
Advance from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance to the date such Revolving Credit Advance is
reimbursed by the applicable Lender.
(d) Return of Payments.
(i) If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the
belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the
Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by the
Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount
from (x) such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind (y)
any collateral provided as Adequate Security.
(ii) If at any time any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any
insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent will not be required
to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the
Administrative Agent (or the Administrative Agent may apply any Adequate Security) on demand
any portion of such amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender,
together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay
to the Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any
kind.
(e) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving
Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender
(each such other Lender, an Other Lender) of its obligations to make the Revolving Credit
Advance to be made by it, but neither any Other Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be
responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance to be made by such
Non-Funding Lender. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding
Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Transaction
Document or constitute a Lender (or be included in the calculation of Requisite
Lenders or Required Remedies Lenders hereunder) for any voting or consent rights
under or with respect to any Transaction Document unless and until such Non-Funding Lender shall
cease to be a Non-Funding Lender as defined in Annex X.
(f) Actions in Concert. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or
enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Notes (other than any rights of set-off,
which are subject to the provisions of Section 11.07 hereof) without first obtaining the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed), it being the intent of the Lenders that any such action to
protect or enforce rights under this Agreement, or the Notes shall, subject to any provision herein
requiring that each Lender consent to a
particular action, be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the
Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).

(g) Principal Repayments. The Borrower may at any time repay outstanding Advances
hereunder; provided that (i) the Borrower shall give not less than one Business Days prior
written notice of any such repayment to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of
Exhibit 2.03(g) (each such notice, a Repayment Notice), (ii) each such notice
shall be irrevocable, (iii) each such notice shall specify the amount of the requested repayment
and the proposed date of such repayment (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) any such repayment
shall be applied first to the Swing Line Loan until the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof has
been reduced to zero, second, pro rata to the Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances
until the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof has been reduced to zero and third, pro rata to the
Lenders, to the outstanding balance of the Term Loan and (v) any such repayment must be accompanied
by payment of (A) all interest accrued and unpaid on the portion of the outstanding principal
balance of the Advances to be repaid through but excluding the date of such repayment and (B) the
amounts required to be paid in accordance with Section 2.15, if any. Any such notice of
repayment must be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on
the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the proposed repayment; provided,
further, that the foregoing requirements shall not apply to repayment of the outstanding
principal amount of Advances as a result of the application of Collections pursuant to Section
2.08.
Section 2.04. Pledge and Release of Transferred Receivables.
(a) Pledge. The Borrower shall indicate in its Records that the Transferred
Receivables have been pledged hereunder and that the Administrative Agent has a lien on and
security interest in all such Transferred Receivables for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The
Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer to, hold all Contracts and other documents relating to
such Transferred Receivables in trust and in a custodial capacity for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with their interests hereunder.
(b) Repurchases of Transferred Receivables.
(i) If any Seller is required to repurchase Transferred Receivables from the Borrower
pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement, upon payment by the applicable Seller to a
Collection Account of the applicable repurchase price thereof (which repurchase price shall
not be less than an amount equal to the Billed Amount of such Transferred Receivable
minus the sum of Collections received in respect thereof), the Administrative Agent
on behalf of the Secured Parties shall release the liens on and security interests in the
Transferred Receivables being so repurchased.
(ii) If any Seller (or any division of any Seller) is to be merged or consolidated with
(or sold or otherwise transferred to) any Person that is not a direct or indirect
wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent (any such transaction, a Seller Disposition)
and the related Seller determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that it is
impracticable to consummate such Seller Disposition unless all Transferred Receivables
originated by such Seller (or related division) are also transferred by such Seller (or, in
the case of any merger or consolidation, are owned by such Seller at the time of such merger
or consolidation) in connection with the related Seller Disposition, the Borrower may
transfer all (and not less than all) Transferred Receivables originated by such Seller (or
division), in any case, without recourse, representation, warranty or covenant of any kind,
to such Seller for a repurchase price equal to the Billed Amount of such Transferred
Receivable minus the sum of Collections received in respect
thereof but which may be paid, subject to the conditions set forth below and of the
Subordinated Note executed in connection with the Receivables Sale Agreement, by a
reduction in the outstanding balance of the related Subordinated Loans (as defined in the
Receivables Sale Agreement) owing to the related Seller), and the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Secured Parties shall release the liens on and security interests in the
Transferred Receivables being so repurchased if the following conditions are satisfied:
(A) after giving effect to such transfer and release, there shall not exist any
Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event (including, without limitation, any
Incipient Termination Event arising because of the occurrence of a Funding Excess);

(B) at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such transfer and release, the
Borrower shall have delivered, true, correct and complete copies of all documents to
be executed or delivered in connection with the repurchase of the Transferred
Receivables by the applicable Seller, all of which shall be reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent (it being understood that the Borrower shall not sign or be
bound by any agreements in connection with a Seller Disposition other than an
instrument or assignment without recourse, representation, warranty or covenant by
the Borrower);
(C) at least five (5) Business Days prior to any such transfer and release, the
Borrower shall have delivered a written notice to the Administrative Agent of such
Seller Transactions, certifying that the foregoing condition described in clause (A)
above shall be satisfied after giving effect to such transfer and release, together
with a pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate giving effect to such release and any
concurrent repayment of Advances; and
(D) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such opinion
letters and other documentation related to the repurchase of the Transferred
Receivables by the applicable Seller and the proposed transfer of such Transferred
Receivables to the applicable Seller in connection therewith as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request (which shall in any event include, without limitation,
an opinion letter of qualified counsel with respect to issues of substantive
nonconsolidation of the Borrower and confirming or reaffirming the true sale and
absolute transfer of Receivables under the Receivables Sale Agreement); and
(E) the Administrative Agent has consented to such repurchase (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that no such consent with
respect to repurchases of Transferred Receivables in connection with Seller
Dispositions shall be required in any trailing twelve month period of which the
aggregate Transferred Receivables related thereto do not exceed 10% of the aggregate
Outstanding Balance of all Transferred Receivables originated during such trailing
twelve month period.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the
contrary, the Borrower shall have no obligation to any Seller to reconvey any Transferred
Receivables to any Seller or any other Person in connection with any Seller Disposition.

the Lenders, with respect to the outstanding amount of each Advance made or maintained by each
Lender during each Settlement Period, in arrears on each applicable Settlement Date, (i) for each
LIBOR Rate Advance outstanding from time to time, at the applicable LIBOR Rate as in effect from
time to time during the related Settlement Period, and (ii) for each Index Rate Advance outstanding

have occurred, each Advance shall be a LIBOR Rate Advance.
(b) If any Termination Event or Designated Event has occurred and is continuing, the interest
rates applicable to each Advance and any other unpaid Borrower Obligation hereunder shall be
increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum (such increased rate, in each case, the Default
Rate), and all outstanding Borrower Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Default
Rate from the date of such Termination Event or Designated Event until such Termination Event or
Designated Event is waived or cured.
(c) The Administrative Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the
Borrower as Advances and cause to be paid all Fees, expenses, charges, costs, interest and
principal, other than principal of the Advances, owing by the Borrower under this Agreement or any
of the other Transaction Documents if and to the extent the Borrower fails to pay any such amounts
as and when due, and any charges so made shall constitute part of the Outstanding Principal Amount

Amount to exceed the Borrowing Base.

the Borrower for the payment of the purchase price for new Receivables under the Receivables Sale
Agreement or for the payment of any amounts owing under Section 2.08(d). On the Commitment
Termination Date and on each day thereafter, the Borrower shall cause the Servicer to set aside and
hold in trust for the Secured Parties all Collections received on such day (and, if applicable, any
additional amounts received or held by the Borrower for the payment of any accrued and unpaid
Borrower Obligations) owed by the Borrower and not previously paid by Borrower in accordance with
clause (d) below; provided that if the Administrative Agent has exercised its right to
obtain exclusive control over the Collection Accounts and the Concentration Accounts, all

shall cause the Servicer to, at any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to
standing instructions from) the Administrative Agent, (i) remit to the Agent Account the amounts
set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (ii) apply such amounts in accordance with

LIBOR Rate Advances) or Index Rate (in all other cases) shall be payable during such extension.
Payments received at or prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to
have been received on such Business Day. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any
Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the
following Business Day.
Section 2.09. Capital Requirements; Additional Costs.
(a) If any Affected Party shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of
or any change in any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi governmental) rule, regulation, guideline
or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by
such Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements
or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital,
reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Affected Party against commitments made
by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and thereby reducing the rate of
return on such Affected Partys capital as a consequence of its commitments hereunder or
thereunder, then the Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by the Administrative Agent pay
to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Affected Party for such reduction together with interest thereon from the date of
any such demand until payment in full at the applicable Index Rate. A certificate as to the amount
of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by the Affected Party
to the Borrower shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto (absent manifest
error) for all purposes.

(b) If, due to any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected
Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any commitment hereunder or under any
other Transaction Document, including with respect to any Advances or other Outstanding
Principal Amount, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Affected Party hereunder
or thereunder, including with respect to any Advances or other Outstanding Principal Amount (any
such increase in cost or reduction in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as
Additional Costs), then the Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional
amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such Additional Costs together with
interest thereon from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the applicable Index Rate.
Each Affected Party agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any
circumstance referred to above that would result in any such Additional Costs, it shall, to the
extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application, use reasonable
commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by the Borrower
pursuant to this Section 2.09(b). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.09(b)
shall not apply to any increase in costs attributable to taxes (whether Indemnified Taxes, Other
Taxes or otherwise), which shall instead be governed exclusively by the provisions of Section
2.10.
(c) Determinations by any Affected Party for purposes of this Section 2.09 of the
effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making, funding or maintaining any commitments
hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents or on amounts payable to it hereunder or
thereunder or of the additional amounts required to compensate such Affected Party in respect of
any Additional Costs shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail
and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all
purposes.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the introduction of or any
change in any law or regulation (or any change in the interpretation thereof) shall make it
unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for
any Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Advance,
then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Rate
Advance at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lenders opinion, adversely
affecting it or its Advances or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand
therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of
such Lender to agree to make or to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Advances
shall terminate and (ii) Borrower shall forthwith prepay in full all outstanding LIBOR Rate
Advances owing to such Lender, together with interest accrued thereon, unless Borrower, within five
(5) Business Days after the delivery of such notice and demand, converts all such LIBOR Rate
Advances into Index Rate Advances.
Section 2.10. Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be made in accordance with this Section 2.10 without
setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges or withholdings, or other charges imposed by any
Governmental Authority (including any interest, additions to tax, on penalties thereto) excluding
(1) taxes imposed on or measured by the net income (however denominated), gross receipts or
franchise (or similar) taxes imposed on any Affected Party by the jurisdictions under the laws of
which such Affected Party is organized, or with which it has a present or former connection (other
than any such connection arising from such Affected Partys having executed, delivered, or
performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement), or by any
political subdivisions thereof, (2) any branch profits (or similar) taxes imposed by the United
States or any other jurisdiction, (3) any backup withholding that is required by the IRC to be
withheld from amounts payable to a Lender that has failed to comply with clause (A) of
Section 2.10(e)(ii), (4) in the case of any Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a
request by the Borrower under Section 2.13), any withholding tax that (A) is required to be
imposed on amounts payable to such Lender pursuant
Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
15
to laws in force at the time such Lender becomes a party hereto, or (B) is
attributable to such Lenders failure or inability (other than as a result of laws in effect at the
time such Lender becomes a party hereto or as a result of a Change in Law) to comply with
Section 2.10(e), except to the extent that the assignor of such Lender was entitled, at the
time of the assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such
withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) and (5) in the case of a Foreign Lender,
any United States federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender as a
result of such Foreign Lenders failure to comply with FATCA to establish a complete exemption from
withholding thereunder (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges and
withholdings being Indemnified Taxes). If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall
be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States, federal backup
withholding and withholding taxes, from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (A) the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall withhold or make such deductions as are
reasonably determined by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to be required by
applicable law and based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to
subsection (e) below, (B) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay
the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (C) to the extent
the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum
payable by the Borrower shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 2.10) the Affected Party entitled to receive any such payment receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Within 30 days after the
date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. The
Borrower shall indemnify any Affected Party from and against, and, within ten days of demand
therefor, pay any Affected Party for, the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (together
with any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section 2.10) paid by such Affected Party and any liability (including penalties,
interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that the applicable Affected Party
provides the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis
and calculation of such amounts. If the Borrower reasonably believes that such Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Affected Parties will use reasonable
efforts to cooperate with the Borrower for the Borrower to file for and obtain a refund of such
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of
the Administrative Agent, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise
disadvantageous to the Affected Parties.
(b) The Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law.
(c) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each
Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses,
claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower by any
Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the
inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender
to the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e).
(d) The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 2.10 to pay any
additional amount to, or to indemnify any Lender, to the extent that such Lender becomes subject to
Taxes subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date (or, if later, the date such Lender becomes a
party to this
Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing business of
such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required by the Borrower
(and provided that nothing in this Section 2.10(d) shall be construed as relieving the
Borrower from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in
place of organization or place of doing business that precedes a change in law to the extent such
Taxes result from a change in law).

(e) (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time
or times prescribed by applicable laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested
information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to
determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the
required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lenders entitlement to any available
exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such
Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lenders status
for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction; provided that such Lender is
legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Borrower is resident for
tax purposes in the United States:
(A) any Lender that is a United States person within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or such other
documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Such documentation and information shall be
delivered by any such Lender (i) on or prior to the Initial Funding Date (or
on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or
before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the
occurrence of a change in the Lenders circumstances requiring a change in
the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of
doubt, if such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Borrower and
Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such Lender an amount
equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the IRC
unless and until such forms are provided; and
(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the IRC or any
applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with
respect to payments hereunder shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the
recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such
Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is
applicable:
(1) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form
thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which
the United States is a party;
Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
17
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form
thereto);
(3) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form
thereto) and all required supporting documentation;
(4) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the
exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a
certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a bank
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (B) a 10 percent
shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of
the IRC, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation described in Section
881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable laws
as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States
federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as
may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made.
(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction,
(B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of
such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any
jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for
taxes from amounts payable to such Lender and (C) submit to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (1) such additional executed copies of one or more such forms or certificates as may then be
available under the current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or reduce, United States
federal withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation pursuant to FATCA, and (2) in the
case of a Foreign Lender, any other documentation required under applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in order for the Administrative Agent or the
Borrower, as applicable, to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Foreign Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.
(f) Subject to the last sentence in Section 2.10(a), and unless required by applicable
laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue
on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or
deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender, as the case may be. If the Administrative
Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any 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 to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.10 with
respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be, 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 or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrowers request, provide
the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay
such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative
Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that they deem confidential). This
subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.11. Increases.
(a) Provided there exists no Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event, with the
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may from time to time following the Restatement
Effective Date, request one or more increases in the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment
Amount by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $150,000,000. Any such request
for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000. At the time of sending such notice,
the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within
which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than fifteen Business
Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Any increase requested pursuant to
this Section 2.11 shall be allocated as a pro rata increase in the Term Loan and the
Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount (based upon the principal balance of the Term Loan and the
Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount as of the related Increase Effective Date as defined below).
Any increase in the Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be funded by the Lenders
participating in such increase in the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount on the
related Increase Effective Date.
(b) Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not
it agrees to increase its portion of the Term Loan and the Revolving Commitment and, if so, whether
by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase.
Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its
portion of the Term Loan and the Revolving Commitment.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders
responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and
subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may also invite additional
Persons to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no
affiliate of the Borrower (including any Sponsor, any portfolio company of any Sponsor or any of
their respective Affiliates) may participate in any such increase as a Lender without the written
consent of the Requisite Lenders.
(d) If the Term Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount is increased in accordance
with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date
(the Increase Effective Date) and the final allocation of such increase. The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of
such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

Credit and Security Agreement
19
(e) As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed
by an Authorized Officer (i) certifying as to the due authorization by the Borrower of such
increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the
representations and warranties contained herein and the other Transaction Documents are true and
correct in all material respects (it being understood that such materiality threshold shall not be
applicable with respect to any clause of any representation or warranty which itself contains a
materiality qualification) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true
and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event
exists. The Borrower shall prepay any Advances outstanding on the Increase Effective Date to the
extent necessary to keep the outstanding Advances ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising
from any nonratable increase in the Term Loan and the Revolving Commitments under this Section
2.11.
(f) In addition to the other terms and conditions set forth herein for increasing the Term
Loan and the Maximum Revolving Commitment Amount, any increase in the Term Loan and the Maximum
Revolving Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to the
additional condition that the Administrative Agent shall approve all up-front fees and other
compensation paid to any additional institution which becomes a Lender hereunder or which increases
its Term Loan and Revolving Commitment hereunder.
(g) This Section shall supersede any provisions in this Agreement to the contrary.
Section 2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence
of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.09 or 2.10 with respect to
such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall
policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Advances affected
by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that
such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and
its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and
provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the
obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.09 or
2.10.
Section 2.13. Replacement of Lenders. (a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace
any Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.09 or
2.10 or any Non-Funding Lender with a replacement financial institution; provided
that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any requirement of law, (ii) no Designated Event
or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii)
prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.12 so
as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.09 or
2.10, (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Advances and
other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the
replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
(vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the
provisions of Section 12.02 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the
registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement
shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant
to Section 2.09 or 2.10, as the case may be, and (viii) any such replacement shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination in
accordance with Section 12.07 (a Proposed Change) requiring the consent of all
affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders
whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained being
referred to as a Non-Consenting Lender), then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not
a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrowers request the Administrative Agent, or a Person acceptable
to the Administrative Agent, shall have the right with the Administrative Agents consent and in
the Administrative Agents sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such
Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the
Administrative Agents request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of
the Revolving Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal
balance of all Advances held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with
respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an
executed Assignment Agreement.
Section 2.14. Non-Funding Lenders.
(a) If a Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, then, so long as such Lender remains a
Non-Funding Lender in accordance with clause (c) below, notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement, any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Non-Funding
Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of Advances, interest, Fees, Breakage Costs,
indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Non-Funding Lender,
but will, so long as such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, instead be retained by the
Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account with respect to such Lender (the
Non-Funding Lender Account), until the Termination Date and will be applied by the
Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time
to time in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of any amounts, if any,
due and owing by such Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, together
with interest thereon owing at the Index Rate; second, to the payment of any amounts owing
by such Non-Funding Lender to the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement; third, to the
payment of interest due and payable to the Other Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the
amounts of such interest then due and payable to them; fourth, to the payment of fees then
due and payable to the Other Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such
fees then due and payable to them; fifth, if as of any Settlement Date the aggregate
principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances of any Other Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share (as
determined without giving effect to the proviso in the definition thereof) of all Revolving Credit
Advances, to repay the Revolving Credit Advances of each such Other Lender in the amount necessary
to eliminate such excess, pro rata based on the Revolving Credit Advances of the Other Lenders;
sixth, to make any other mandatory reductions of Revolving Credit Advances of the Other
Lenders required under Section 2.08, pro rata based on the Revolving Credit Advances of
such Other Lenders; seventh, to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable
to the Other Lenders; and eighth, to pay any interest, Advances or other amounts owing
under this Agreement to such Non-Funding Lender in the order of priority set forth in Section
2.08(b) hereof or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided
that funds shall be redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account to pay amounts owed under
clauses second through seventh solely after application of other funds on deposit
in the Agent Account and only to the extent that such other funds are insufficient to make such
payments. Any funds redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account to make payments under clauses
second through seventh above shall not be deemed to be payment by the Borrower for
purposes of determining whether a Termination Event or a Designated Event has occurred and shall
not discharge any obligations of the Borrower to make such payment. To the extent that any Other
Lenders have been paid with amounts redirected from the Non-Funding Lender Account, the Non-Funding
Lender shall, from and after payment in full of all interest, Advances and other
amounts owed to the Other Lender, be subrogated to the rights of the Other Lenders to the
extent of any such payments from the Non-Funding Lender Account under clause eighth above.

Credit and Security Agreement

(b) Notwithstanding the clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized at any
time that any Revolving Commitments remain outstanding, at its sole and absolute discretion, after
payment of any amounts owed under clauses first and second of the first sentence of clause
(a) above, to (i) retain amounts in any Non-Funding Lender Account in an amount up to the related
Non-Funding Lenders unfunded Revolving Commitment and (ii) use any portion of such retained
amounts to pay such Non-Funding Lenders funding obligations hereunder. Upon any such unfunded
obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall
be authorized to use such the amounts in a Non-Funding Lenders Non-Funding Lender Account to make
such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. Upon the termination of all Revolving
Commitments, any amounts in any Non-Funding Lender Account shall be applied in accordance with the
first sentence of clause (a) above.
(c) If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a
Non-Funding Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent
will so notify the other parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such
notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect
to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.14(a), such
Non-Funding Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Revolving
Credit Advances of the Other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent
may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Advances of all of the Lenders to be on
a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, whereupon such Lender
will cease to be a Non-Funding Lender, provided that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while
such Lender was a Non-Funding Lender; and provided, further, that except to the
extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, such notification will not constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lenders having been a
Non-Funding Lender.
Section 2.15. Breakage Costs. To induce the Lenders to provide the LIBOR Rate on the
terms provided herein, if (i) any LIBOR Rate Advances are, except by reason of the requirements in
Section 2.03(c), repaid in whole or in part on any date other than a Settlement Date
(whether that repayment is made pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or is the result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) the
Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Rate
Advance; (iii) the Borrower shall default in making any borrowing of LIBOR Rate Advances after the
Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith (including any failure to
satisfy conditions precedent to the making of any LIBOR Rate Advances); or (iv) the Borrower shall
fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Advance after the Borrower has given a notice thereof
in accordance herewith, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each
Lender from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the
foregoing (any such loss, cost or expense, Breakage Costs). Such indemnification shall
include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds
obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained (if
any). For the purpose of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, this
subsection shall apply only to Lenders that have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Advance
through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the
amount of that LIBOR Rate Advance; provided, however, that each Lender may fund
each of its LIBOR Rate Advances in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing sentence shall be
utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall
survive the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. The
determination by any Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a
written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on

(a) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this
Section 2.16(a), shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section
12.01 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) (i) a
record of ownership (the Register) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register
by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the
Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Lender in the Revolving Credit Advances, the
Term Loan, the Swing Line Advances, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate
in the Term Loan, each Revolving Credit Advance and Swing Line Advance and any assignment of any
such interest, obligation or right and (ii) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual

thereto pursuant to Sections 12.01 and 12.02), (2) the Revolving Commitment of each
Lender, (3) the amount of each Revolving Credit Advance and each funding of any participation
described in clause (i) above, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable

this Agreement, the Advances (including any Notes evidencing such Notes and, in the case of

registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to
such Advances, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the
Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section
2.16 and Section 12.02 shall be construed so that the Advances are at all times
maintained in registered form within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and
881(c)(2) of the IRC and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

ARTICLE IV.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.01. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. To induce each Lender
to make Advances from time to time and the Administrative Agent to take any action required to be
performed by it hereunder, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to each
Lender and the Administrative Agent on the Restatement Effective Date and each Advance Date, each
and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
(a) Existence; Compliance with Law. The Borrower (i) is a limited liability company
duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, is a registered organization as defined in the UCC of such jurisdiction and
is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction; (ii) is duly qualified to conduct
business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of
property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to
comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; (iii) has the requisite power and authority and the legal right to own, pledge,
mortgage or otherwise encumber and operate its properties, to lease the property it operates under
lease, and to conduct its business, in each case, as now, heretofore and proposed to be conducted,
except where such failure, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) has all licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by,
and has made all filings with, and has given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities having
jurisdiction, to the extent required for such ownership, operation and conduct, except where the
failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; (v) is in compliance with its limited liability company agreement; and
(vi) subject to specific representations set forth herein regarding ERISA, tax and other laws, is
in compliance with all applicable provisions of law, except where the failure to comply,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(b) Executive Offices; Collateral Locations; Corporate or Other Names; FEIN. The
state of organization and the organization identification number of the Borrower and current
location of the Borrowers chief executive office and the premises within which any Borrower
Collateral is stored or located, are set forth in Schedule 4.01(b). The Borrower has not
been known as or used any fictitious or trade name. Schedule 4.01(b) lists the federal
employer identification number of the Borrower.
Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
25
(c) Power, Authorization, Enforceable Obligations. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party, and the creation and perfection of all Liens and ownership interests provided for herein and
therein:
(i) are within the Borrowers limited liability company power; (ii) have been duly authorized
by all necessary or proper actions; (iii) do not contravene any provision of the Borrowers
certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement; (iv) do not violate any law or
regulation, or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority, except any violation
that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; (v) do not conflict with or result in the breach or termination of, constitute a default
under or accelerate or permit the acceleration of any performance required by, (A) any material
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower is a
party, (B) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which
the Parent or any Seller is a party or by which the Borrower, the Parent, any Seller or any of the
property of the Parent or any Seller is bound that relates to Indebtedness of the Parent or such
Seller in an amount greater than or equal to $50,000,000 or (C) any other indenture, mortgage, deed
of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which the Parent or any Seller is a party or by
which the Parent, any Seller or any of the property of the Borrower, the Parent or any Seller is
bound, except as where could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect; (vi) do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon
any of the property of the Borrower or any Seller; and (vii) do not require the consent or approval
of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which have been duly obtained, made
or complied with on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date and those consents or approvals, the
failure of which to so obtain, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The exercise by each of the Borrower, the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent of any of its rights and remedies under any Transaction Document to which it
is a party do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other
Person, except those which will have been duly obtained, made or complied with on or prior to the
Initial Funding Date and those consents or approvals, the failure of which to so obtain, could not,
individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. On the
Initial Funding Date and as of the Restatement Effective Date, each of the Transaction Documents to
which the Borrower is a party shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each
such Transaction Document shall then constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
(d) No Litigation. No Litigation is now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened against the Borrower that (i) challenges the Borrowers right or power to enter into or
perform any of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or the
validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any action taken thereunder, (ii) seeks
to prevent the transfer, sale or pledge of any Receivable or the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (iii) is
reasonably likely to be adversely determined and, if adversely determined, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iv) consists of an indictment by a Governmental
Authority (including any federal or state prosecutor) of the Borrower which alleges criminal
misconduct by the Borrower.
(e) Solvency. After giving effect to the sale of Receivables and the Advances to be
made on such date and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, the Borrower is and will be
Solvent.
(f) Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the Borrowers organization, (i) the
Borrower has not incurred any obligations, contingent or non-contingent liabilities, liabilities
for Charges, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, other than in connection
with the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (ii) no contract, lease or other
agreement or instrument has been entered into by the Borrower or has become binding upon the
Borrowers assets,
other than in connection with the Transaction Documents, and no law or regulation applicable
to the Borrower has been adopted that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Since March 6, 2009, no event has occurred with respect to the Borrower that alone
or together with other events could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Ownership of Property; Liens. None of the properties and assets (including the
Transferred Receivables) of the Borrower are subject to any Adverse Claims other than Permitted
Encumbrances not attaching to Transferred Receivables, and there are no facts, circumstances or
conditions known to the Borrower that may result in (i) with respect to the Transferred
Receivables, any Adverse Claims and (ii) with respect to its other properties and assets, any
Adverse Claims other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Borrower has received all assignments, bills
of sale and other documents, and has duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions
necessary to establish, protect and perfect the Borrowers right, title and interest in and to the
Transferred Receivables and its other properties and assets. No effective financing statement or
other similar instrument are of record in any filing office listing the Borrower or any Seller as
debtor and covering any of the Transferred Receivables or the other Borrower Collateral (except (i)
with respect to the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder and (ii) in connection with
the Senior Credit Agreement (it being understood that any Lien in any Sellers rights in the
Transferred Receivables is released upon such Sellers transfer of such Receivable pursuant to the
Receivables Sale Agreement), and the Liens granted to the Lender pursuant to Section 7.01
are and will be at all times fully perfected first priority Liens in and to the Borrower
Collateral.
(h) Ventures and Subsidiaries; Outstanding Stock and Debt. The Borrower has no
Subsidiaries, and is not engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person. The
Borrower has no investments in any Person other than Permitted Investments. There are no
outstanding rights to purchase or options, warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to
which the Borrower may be required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem some or all of its
membership interests. Other than (x) the subordinated loans made in accordance with the
Receivables Sale Agreement and (y) the Debt arising under this Agreement, the Borrower has no
outstanding Debt on the Restatement Effective Date.
(i) Taxes. Except as could not, either individually or in the aggregate be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, all tax returns, reports and statements, including
information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by any domestic Affiliate
of Borrower and all material tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns,
required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by any Affiliate of the Borrower, have in each
case been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and all Charges have been paid prior to
the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment
thereof (or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid and taking into
account applicable extensions), excluding Charges or other amounts being contested in accordance
with Section 5.01(e). Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by the Borrower or
any such domestic Affiliate from its respective employees for all periods in full and complete
compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and such withholdings have
been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities (taking into account any applicable
extensions). As of the Restatement Effective Date, (i) Borrower has elected to be disregarded as
an entity separate from its owner for federal income tax purposes under Section 301.7701-3(b)(1) of
the United States Treasury Regulations and is therefore not an association taxable as a corporation
for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) neither the Parent nor any domestic Affiliate of the
Borrower included in the Parent Group has agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under IRC
481(a), by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise, that could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent will
treat the Advances as indebtedness for United States federal income tax purposes.

(j) Full Disclosure. All information contained in this Agreement, any Borrowing Base
Certificate or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any other written statement or
information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender or the Administrative Agent
relating to this Agreement, the Transferred Receivables or any of the other Transaction Documents
taken as a whole, was, when furnished, true and accurate in every material respect, and none of
this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any
other written statement or information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender or
the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of
the circumstances in which the same were made. All information contained in this Agreement, any
Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any other written
statement or information furnished to any Lender or the Administrative Agent has been prepared in
good faith by the management of the Borrower with the exercise of reasonable diligence.
(k) ERISA. The Borrower and its ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with ERISA and
have not incurred and does not expect to incur any liabilities (except for premium payments arising
in the ordinary course of business) payable to the PBGC under Title IV of ERISA, except failure to
comply or the incurrence of any liability that, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or result in a Termination Event or a
Designated Event.
(l) Brokers. No broker or finder acting on behalf of the Borrower was employed or
utilized in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby and the Borrower has no obligation to any Person in respect of any
finders or brokerage fees in connection therewith.
(m) Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security, as such terms are
defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in
effect (such securities being referred to herein as Margin Stock). The Borrower owns no
Margin Stock, and no portion of the proceeds of the Advances made hereunder will be used, directly
or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of
reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or
for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be considered a purpose
credit within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. The Borrower
will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Transaction Document to violate
any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.
(n) Nonapplicability of Bulk Sales Laws. No transaction contemplated by this
Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or
similar law.
(o) Government Regulation. The Borrower is not an investment company or a company
controlled by an investment company as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act.
The making of Advances by the Lenders hereunder, the application of the proceeds thereof and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
will not violate any provision of any such statute or any rule, regulation or order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
(p) Nonconsolidation. The Borrower is operated in such a manner that the separate
corporate existence of the Borrower, on the one hand, and any member of the Parent Group, on the
other hand, would not be disregarded in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any member of
the Parent
Group and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in accordance with (i) the terms
of its limited liability company agreement and (ii) the assumptions set forth in each opinion
letter of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP (or other counsel to the Borrower approved by the
Administrative Agent) with respect to issues of substantive consolidation and true sale and
absolute transfer.

28
(q) Deposit and Disbursement Accounts. Schedule 4.01(q) lists all banks and
other financial institutions at which the Borrower maintains deposit or other bank accounts as of
the Restatement Effective Date, including any Account, and such schedule correctly identifies the
name, address and telephone number of each depository, the name in which the account is held and
the complete account number therefor. Each Account constitutes a deposit account within the
meaning of the applicable UCC. The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) has delivered to the
Administrative Agent a fully executed agreement pursuant to which each Concentration Account Bank
(in the case of each Concentration Account) and each Collection Account Bank (with respect to each
Collection Account) has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Administrative
Agent directing the disposition of funds in the Accounts without further consent by the Borrower,
the Servicer or any Seller. No Account is in the name of any person other than the Borrower, and
the Borrower has not consented to any Bank following the instructions of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent has a first priority perfected security interest in
each Account, and all Borrower Collateral on deposit therein.
(r) Transferred Receivables.
(i) Transfers. Each Transferred Receivable was purchased by the Borrower on
the relevant Transfer Date pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement.
(ii) Eligibility. Each Transferred Receivable designated as an Eligible
Receivable in each Borrowing Base Certificate, Weekly Report or Monthly Report, as the case
may be, constitutes an Eligible Receivable as of the date specified in such Borrowing Base
Certificate, Weekly Report or Monthly Report, as applicable.
(iii) Nonavoidability of Transfers. The Borrower shall have purchased each
Receivable from the Sellers for cash consideration or with the proceeds of a subordinated
loan made in accordance with the Receivables Sale Agreement, in each case in an amount that
constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value therefor. No transfer of
Receivables pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement has been made for or on account of an
antecedent debt owed by any Seller to the Borrower, as applicable, and no such transfer is
or may be avoidable or subject to avoidance under any bankruptcy laws, rules or regulations.
(s) Assignment of Interest in Transaction Documents. The Borrowers interests in, to
and under the Receivables Sale Agreement and the Seller Support Agreement have been assigned by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Secured Parties) as
security for the Borrower Obligations.
(t) Notices to Obligors. Each Obligor of Transferred Receivables has been directed to
remit all payments with respect to such Receivables for deposit in a Lockbox, Collection Account or
the Concentration Accounts.
(u) Representations and Warranties in Other Transaction Documents. Each of the
representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in the Transaction Documents (other than
this Agreement) is true and correct in all material respects (it being understood that the
materiality threshold
referenced above shall not be applicable with respect to any clause of any representation or
warranty which itself contains a materiality qualification) and the Borrower hereby makes each such
representation and warranty to, and for the benefit of, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent as
if the same were set forth in full herein.
Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
29
(v) Supplementary Representations.
(i) Receivables; Lock-Box Accounts. (A) Each Receivable constitutes an
account or a payment intangible within the meaning of the applicable UCC, and (B) each
Account constitutes a deposit account within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
(ii) Creation of Security Interest. The Borrower owns and has good and
marketable title to the Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes, free and clear of any Adverse
Claim (other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders). The
Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable
UCC) in the Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes in favor of the Administrative Agent (on
behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties), which security interest is prior to all
other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against any creditors of and purchasers
from the Borrower.
(iii) Perfection. On or prior to the Restatement Effective Date: (A) the
Borrower has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing
office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law and entered into Account
Agreements in order to perfect (x) the transfer of the Receivables from the Sellers to the
Borrower pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement, and (y) the security interest granted
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured
Parties) in the Receivables hereunder; (B) with respect to each Concentration Account, the
Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other
Secured Parties), a fully executed Concentration Account Agreement pursuant to which the
applicable Concentration Account Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions given by
the Administrative Agent with respect to all funds on deposit in such Concentration Account,
without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Seller; and (C) with respect to
each Collection Account, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf
of itself and the other Secured Parties), a fully executed Collection Account Agreement
pursuant to which the applicable Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions given by
the Administrative Agent with respect to all funds on deposit in the Collection Accounts and
the related Lockboxes, without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Seller.
(iv) Priority. Other than (w) in connection with the Senior Credit Agreement
(which security interests are automatically released upon the transfer of assets pursuant to
the Receivables Sale Agreement), (x) the transfer of the Receivables by the Sellers to the
Borrower pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement and (y) the grant of security interest
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Secured
Parties) in the Receivables, the Accounts and the Lockboxes hereunder, none of the Borrower
or any Seller has pledged, assigned, sold, conveyed, or otherwise granted a security
interest in any of the Receivables, the Accounts and the Lockboxes to any other Person.
(w) Commercial Tort Claims. As of the date hereof, the Borrower owns no commercial
tort claims (as defined in the UCC).

Receivable or obligors under the Borrower Assigned Agreements of the pledge of such Transferred
Receivables or Borrower Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Lenders hereunder and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the
Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or lockbox or other account
designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the sole cost and expense
of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Transferred Receivable
or the Borrower Assigned Agreements and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.
The Administrative Agent shall provide prompt notice to the Borrower and the Servicer of any such
notification of pledge or direction of payment to the Obligors under any Transferred Receivables.
If the Commitment Termination Date has occurred but no Termination Event or Designated Event has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall, at the direction of the Administrative Agent,
instruct each of the Concentration Account Banks (and/or Collection Account Banks) to transfer on

Administrative Agent, make such demands and requests to any other party to the Borrower Assigned
Agreements as are permitted to be made by the Borrower or the Servicer thereunder.

or any provision of applicable law, if any, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent
on behalf of the Lenders a limited license to use, without charge, the Borrowers and the
Servicers computer programs, software, printouts and other computer materials, technical knowledge
or processes, data bases, customer lists, or credit files, as it pertains to the Borrower
Collateral, or any rights to any of the foregoing, only as reasonably required in connection with
the collection of the Transferred Receivables
and the advertising for sale, and selling any of the Borrower Collateral, or exercising of any
other remedies hereto, and the Borrower agrees that its rights under all licenses and franchise
agreements shall inure to the Administrative Agents benefit (on behalf of the Lenders) for
purposes of the license granted herein. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree not to use any such license
without giving the Borrower prior written notice and without supervision of the Borrower.

Section 9.01. Actions Upon a Termination Event or a Designated Event. If any
Termination Event or a Designated Event shall have occurred and be continuing, then, in addition to
any and all other rights and remedies granted to it hereunder, under any other Transaction Document
or under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Borrower
Obligations or otherwise available to it, all of the following actions:
(a) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and
at any time or from time to time, charge, offset or otherwise apply amounts payable to the Borrower
from the Agent Account, any Concentration Account or any Collection Account against all or any part
of the Borrower Obligations.
(b) The Administrative Agent may (but in no event shall be obligated to) exercise, at the sole
cost and expense of the Borrower, any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in
connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Borrower Collateral, including any
and all rights of the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or
performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicer
Termination, have the right to name any Successor Servicer (including itself) pursuant to Servicing
Agreement.
Section 9.02. Actions Upon an Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have declared the Facility Maturity

(b) The Administrative Agent may, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept
bids for and sell the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or
private sale, at any exchange, brokers board or any of the Lenders or Agents offices or
elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the
Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall have the
right to conduct such sales on the
Borrowers premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any of the Borrowers
premises without charge for such sales at such time or times as the Administrative Agent deems
necessary or advisable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required
by law, ten days notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after
which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative
Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Borrower Collateral regardless of notice of sale
having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate
to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the
Borrower Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each
Seller, the Borrower, any Person claiming any right in the Borrower Collateral sold through any
Seller or the Borrower, and their respective successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall
deposit the net proceeds of any such sale in the Agent Account and such proceeds shall be applied
against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations.
(c) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 9.01(b), the Borrower shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date thereof, or within
a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impracticable to make immediate delivery, all of the
Borrower Collateral sold on such date, but in any event full title and right of possession to such
property shall vest in such purchaser or purchasers upon the completion of such sale.
Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any such purchaser, the Borrower
shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper
instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
(d) At any sale under Section 9.01(b), any Lender or the Administrative Agent may bid
for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may
hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.
Section 9.03. Exercise of Remedies.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising
any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between any Seller, the
Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, on the other
hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further
exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or
concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender would otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party hereto shall
entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or
constitute a waiver of the right of the party providing such notice or making such demand to any
other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents against the Borrower, the Servicer or the Collateral shall be vested exclusively in, and
all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and
maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Transaction Documents
for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its
benefit (solely in its capacity as
Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the Swingline
Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as
Swingline Lender) hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) any Lender from
exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.07 or (iv) any Lender from filing
proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable debtor relief law; and
provided further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, then (A) the Required Remedies Lenders
and/or the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Article IX and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii),
(iii) and (iv) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 11.07, any Lender may, with
the consent of the Required Remedies Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and
remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Remedies Lenders or the Requisite
Lenders.
Section 9.04. Power of Attorney. On or before the Restatement Effective Date, the
Borrower shall execute and deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 9.04 (a Power of Attorney). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled
with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with
its terms and all of the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full.
The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to
protect the Liens of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon and interests in the Borrower
Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers.
The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for any amount other than amounts that it
actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and none of the Administrative Agents
officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Borrower, any
Seller, the Servicer or any other Person for any act or failure to act, except to the extent of
damages attributable to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other
Transaction Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any powers
pursuant to any Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default, Termination Event, a Designated Event
or Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.
Section 9.05. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing
Lien in the Borrower Collateral until the date such security interest is released by Administrative
Agent and the Lenders.

maintain or transfer to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders,
a first priority, perfected Lien in any portion of the Borrower Collateral;

bankruptcy) to the payment of any Transferred Receivable (including a defense based on any
Dilution Factor or on such Receivable or the Contract therefor not being a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or
any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services giving rise to such
Receivable or the furnishing of or failure to furnish such merchandise or services or
relating to collection activities with respect to such Receivable (if such collection
activities were performed by any of its Affiliates acting as Servicer);
(v) any products liability claim or other claim arising out of or in connection with
merchandise, insurance or services that is the subject of any Contract with respect to any

of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory
provisions or common law or equitable action;
(xii) any action or omission by Borrower, any Seller or the Servicer which reduces or
impairs the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties with respect to any
Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;
(xiii) any attempt by any Person to void any Borrowing or the Lien granted hereunder
under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; or
(xiv) any withholding, deduction or Charge imposed upon any payments with respect to

Collateral.

action and carry out such functions under this Agreement as are authorized to be performed by it
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise contemplated
hereby or thereby or are reasonably incidental thereto; provided, that the duties of the
Administrative Agent set forth in this Agreement shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, and, other than the duties set forth in Section 11.02, any
permissive right of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

Section 11.02. Reliance. None of the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or
any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other
Transaction
Documents, except for damages solely caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any term or provision hereof to the contrary, the
Borrower and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent as such (a) has
no duties or obligations other than as set forth expressly herein, and has no fiduciary obligations
to any person, (b) acts as a representative hereunder for the Lenders and has no duties or
obligations to, shall incur no liabilities or obligations to, and does not act as an agent in any
capacity for, the Borrower (other than, with respect to the Administrative Agent, under the Power
of Attorney with respect to remedial actions) or the Sellers, (c) may consult with legal counsel,
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any

the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents on the part
of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Seller, the Parent or any Lender, or to inspect the property
(including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Seller, the Parent or any
Lender, (f) shall not be responsible to the Borrower, the Servicer, any Lender or any other Person
for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of
this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto or thereto, (g) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument
or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or communicated by the proper party or
parties and (h) shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in
any notice or other communication hereunder and may conclusively rely on the accuracy of such facts
or matters.
Section 11.03. GE Capital and Affiliates. GE Capital and its Affiliates may
generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor, the Parent, the Sellers, the Borrower,
the Servicer, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business
with or own securities of such Persons or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if GE Capital
were not the Administrative Agent and without the duty to account therefor to any Obligor, the
Parent, any Seller, the Borrower, the Servicer, any Lender or any other Person.
Section 11.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based
upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and financial
analysis of the Borrower and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
Section 11.05. Indemnification. Each of the Lenders severally agrees to indemnify

suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent in connection herewith or therewith; provided, however, that
no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting solely from the Administrative Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each
Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of
any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in
respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, to
the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

Section 11.06. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign
at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to each of the
Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall be consented
to by the Borrower (other than during the occurrence and continuance of a Designated Event or
Termination Event), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted
such appointment within 30 days after the resigning the Administrative Agents giving notice of
resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such
appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a
commercial bank or financial institution which commercial bank or financial institution is
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof. If no successor
Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, by the 30th day after the date
such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Administrative Agent, such resignation shall
become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative
Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as the
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or the effective date of the
resigning Administrative Agents resignation, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, except that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such resigning
Administrative Agent shall continue. After any resigning Administrative Agents resignation
hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents.
Section 11.07. Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or
hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event or a Designated Event, each Lender
and each holder of any Note is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice
to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived (but subject
to Section 2.03(b)(i)), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances
held by it at any of its offices for the account of the Borrower (regardless of whether such
balances are then due to the Borrower) and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by
that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of the Borrower against and on
account of any of the Borrower Obligations which are not paid when due. Any Lender or holder of
any Note exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the
Borrower Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other
Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lenders or holders Pro Rata
Share of the Borrower Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share
the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Each Lenders obligation pursuant to this Section
11.07 is in addition to and not in limitation of its obligations to purchase a participation
equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Swing Line Advance pursuant to Section 2.01(b). The
Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender or holder may exercise
its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Borrower
Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and
(b) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Advances made or other Borrower
Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set off, bankers lien,
counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or
holder were a direct holder of the Advances and the other Borrower Obligations in the amount of
such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or
payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of
set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored without interest.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.01. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided
herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication
shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other parties, or whenever any of
the parties desires to give or serve upon any other parties any communication with respect to this
Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon
the earlier of actual receipt and three Business Days after deposit in the United States Mail,
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon
transmission, when sent by email of the signed notice in PDF form or facsimile (with such email or
facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as
otherwise provided in this Section 12.01), (c) one Business Day after deposit with a
reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when delivered, if hand delivered by
messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or
facsimile number set forth on Schedule 12.01 hereto (or on any Assignment Agreement) or to such
other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. The
giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive
such notice. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent,
approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than any Lender and the
Administrative Agent) designated in any written notice provided hereunder to receive copies shall
in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
declaration or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever it is provided herein
that a notice is to be given to any other party hereto by a specific time, such notice shall only
be effective if actually received by such party prior to such time, and if such notice is received
after such time or on a day other than a Business Day, such notice shall only be effective on the
immediately succeeding Business Day.
Section 12.02. Binding Effect; Assignability.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Lender
and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrower
may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its rights or obligations
hereunder or interests herein without the express prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders
and the Administrative Agent. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other
conveyance by
the Borrower without the prior express written consent of the Requisite Lenders and the
Administrative Agent shall be void.

Credit and Security Agreement

(b) Any assignment by a Lender shall (i) require the execution of an assignment agreement (an
Assignment Agreement) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
12.02(b) or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and
acknowledged by, the Administrative Agent and other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender
to one of its Affiliates, the consent of the Administrative Agent and, only if and so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, further that assignments by a Lender
to a SPV or any Affiliate of the Agent or any Lender shall not be subject to the consent of the
Borrower; (ii) if a partial assignment, (A) be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and,
after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assigning Lender shall have retained a
Revolving Commitment in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and (B) constitute a ratable
assignment of the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount and the Term Loan such that, after giving effect
to such assignment, such assignee Lenders and assignor Lenders respective pro rata shares of the
outstanding Term Loan and outstanding Maximum Revolving Credit Amount shall be equal; (iii) require
the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the assignee or participant, as the case may be, of any
forms, certificates or other evidence described in Section 2.10(e), (iv) other than in the
case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates, include a payment to the Administrative
Agent by the assignor or assignee Lender of an assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) any assignment by a
Non-Funding Lender (including any Affiliate thereof) shall require the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 12.02,
the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and
obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of
its obligations hereunder with respect to its Revolving Commitment or assigned portion thereof
from and after the date of such assignment. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any
assignment made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b) will give rise to a direct
obligation of the Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall thereupon be a Lender for
all purposes. In all instances, each Lenders obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances
hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Lenders Pro Rata Share of
the Revolving Commitment. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part
of a Note, the Borrower shall, upon the request of such Lender, execute one or more new Notes in
exchange for the Notes being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 12.02(b), any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of such
Lenders rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to any Federal Reserve
Bank or to any holder or trustee of such Lenders securities; provided, however,
that no such pledge or assignment to any Federal Reserve Bank, holder or trustee shall release such
Lender from such Lenders obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document and no such
holder or trustee shall be entitled to enforce any rights of such Lender hereunder unless such
holder or trustee becomes a Lender hereunder through execution of an Assignment Agreement as set
forth above.
(c) In addition to the foregoing right, any Lender may, without consent from the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower, but with notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and
the Servicer (unless a Designated Event or Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), (x)
grant to a SPV the option to make all or any part of any Advance that such Lender would otherwise
be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans
pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder); (y)
assign to a SPV all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under the Transaction
Documents, including a sale of any Advances or other Borrower Obligations hereunder and such
Lenders right to receive payment with respect to any such Borrower Obligation and (z) sell
participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
the Transaction Documents (including all its rights and
obligations with respect to the Advances); provided, however, that (x) no such SPV or
participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Advances
hereunder, and none shall be liable to any Person for any obligations of such Lender hereunder (it
being understood
Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
56
that nothing in this Section 12.02(c) shall limit any rights the Lender
may have as against such SPV or participant under the terms of the applicable option, sale or
participation agreement between or among such parties); and (y) no such SPV or holder of any such
participation shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action
hereunder] except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or
interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Advance in which such holder participates, (ii)
any extension of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Advance in which such holder
participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all
of the Borrower Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents). Solely for purposes of Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.10,
2.15 and 10.01, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each such sale or
participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the participant or SPV and
each such participant or SPV shall be considered to be a Lender for purposes of such
sections; provided, however, that a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 2.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such participant is made with the Borrowers prior written consent. A participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10
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 2.10(e) as though it were a
Lender. Except as set forth in the two preceding sentences, such Lenders rights and obligations,
and the rights and obligations of the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent towards such
Lender under any Transaction Document shall remain unchanged and none of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation or assignment to
a SPV) shall have any duty to any participant or SPV and may continue to deal solely with the
assigning or selling Lender as if no such assignment or sale had occurred. Each Lender that sells
a participation, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a
register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and
stated interest) of each participants interest in the Loans or other obligations under this
Agreement (the Participant Register); provided that no Lender shall have any
obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the
identity of any participant or any information relating to a participants interest in any
Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any this Agreement) except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of
Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender,
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(d) Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.02, no Lender shall, as between
the Borrower and that Lender, or between the Administrative Agent and that Lender, be relieved of
any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of,
or granting of participation in, all or any part of the Advances, the Notes or other Borrower
Obligations owed to such Lender.
(e) The Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under
this Section 12.02 as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to
effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all
agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested and the
participation of management in meetings with potential assignees or participants. The Borrower
shall, if
the Administrative Agent so requests in connection with an initial syndication of the
Revolving Commitments hereunder, assist in the preparation of informational materials for such
syndication.

57
(f) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any Seller, the Servicer
and/or the Receivables in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and
participants (including prospective assignees and participants). Each Lender shall obtain from all
prospective and actual assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent
to those contained in Section 12.05.
Section 12.03. Termination; Survival of Borrower Obligations Upon Commitment Termination
Date and Facility Maturity Date.
(a) This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties
hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the
Termination Date.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Transaction Document, no
termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by any
Affected Party under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and
liabilities of the Borrower or the rights of any Affected Party relating to any unpaid portion of
the Borrower Obligations, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction
or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which
is required after the Commitment Termination Date or the Facility Maturity Date. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Transaction Document, all undertakings,
agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon the Borrower and all
rights of any Affected Party hereunder, all as contained in the Transaction Documents, shall not
terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall
continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that the rights and
remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by
the Borrower pursuant to Article IV, the indemnification and payment provisions of
Article X and Sections 11.05 and 12.05 shall be continuing and shall
survive the Termination Date.
Section 12.04. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative
Agent for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and
preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including the reasonable fees
and expenses of all of its special counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained in
connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and advice in connection therewith). The
Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all reasonable fees, costs
and expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel or other advisors
(including environmental and management consultants and appraisers) for advice, assistance, or
other representation in connection with:
(i) the forwarding to the Borrower or any other Person on behalf of the Borrower by any
Lender of any proceeds of Advances made by such Lender hereunder;
(ii) any amendment, modification or waiver (whether or not consummated) of, consent
with respect to, or termination of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents
or advice in connection with the administration hereof or thereof or their respective rights
hereunder or thereunder;
(iii) any Litigation, contest or dispute (whether instituted by the Borrower, any
Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person as a party, witness, or otherwise) in
any way relating to the Borrower Collateral, any of the Transaction Documents or any
other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including
any Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review
thereof, in connection with a case commenced by or against the Borrower, the Servicer or any
other Person that may be obligated to any Lender or the Administrative Agent by virtue of
the Transaction Documents, including any such Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding
or action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions
contemplated hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events or Designated
Events;
Amended and Restated
Credit and Security Agreement
58
(iv) any attempt to enforce any remedies of a Lender or the Administrative Agent
against the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to them by
virtue of any of the Transaction Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such
remedies in the course of any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated
hereby during the pendency of one or more Termination Events or Designated Events;
(v) any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby during the
pendency of one or more Termination Events or Designated Events; and
(vi) efforts to (A) monitor the Advances or any of the Borrower Obligations, (B)
evaluate, observe or assess the Sellers, the Parent, the Borrower or the Servicer or their
respective affairs, and (C) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell,
liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Borrower Collateral;
including all attorneys and other professional and service providers fees arising from such
services, including those in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all reasonable
expenses, costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or
relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 12.04, all of which
shall be payable, on demand, by the Borrower to the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent,
as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and
fees may include: fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers,
investment bankers, management and other consultants and paralegals; court costs and expenses;
photocopying and duplication expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance

(ii) Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment,
modification, termination or waiver shall be required for the Administrative Agent to take

Indemnified Liabilities, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower termination
statements and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens
securing payment of the Borrower Obligations.
Section 12.08. No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by any Lender or the Administrative
Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Borrower or the Servicer of any
provision of this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Transaction Document shall not
waive, affect or diminish any right of any Lender or the Administrative Agent thereafter to demand
strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or
default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same
is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the
undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower or the Servicer
contained in this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Transaction Document, and no
breach or default by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have
been suspended or waived by any Lender or the Administrative Agent unless such waiver or suspension
is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of the
applicable Lenders and the Administrative Agent and directed to the Borrower or the Servicer, as
applicable, specifying such suspension or waiver. The rights and remedies of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative
and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may
have hereunder, thereunder, under any other agreement, by operation of law or otherwise. Recourse
to the Borrower Collateral shall not be required.
Section 12.09. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY
TRANSACTION DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY) AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND
THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF
CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN
CONTRACT OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATION WITH RESPECT TO
POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST), BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS).

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN
THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE
ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY
HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED
OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER THAT
NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE
BORROWER COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE BORROWER OBLIGATIONS, OR PRECLUDE ANY PARTY
HERETO TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF SUCH PARTY. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS
AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL
JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO
THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY
HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY
SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE
MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS PROVIDED FOR IN
SECTION 12.01 HEREOF AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF
SUCH PARTYS ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER
POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL
PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST
QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH
APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT
THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE
BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO
WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE,
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY.

or, as applicable, the Lenders, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law. A

statement covering the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof shall
be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where permitted by law.

(c) In connection with any assignment permitted under Section 12.02, upon the request
of any assignor Lender, the Borrower will cause Simpson Thacher Bartlett LLP (or such other counsel
acceptable to such assignor Lender) to issue reliance letters (or, if reliance letters cannot be
issued, new opinion letters) to the related assignee Lenders with respect to the opinion letters
delivered on or about the Initial Funding Date in connection with the closing of the Transaction
