Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On August 5, 2010, Hudson Highland Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its North American and U.K. subsidiaries entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver Agreement”) with RBS Business Capital, a division of RBS Asset Finance, Inc. (“RBS”), that provided the Company with the ability to borrow up to $40 million, including the issuance of letters of credit. The Company may increase the maximum borrowing amount to $50 million, subject to certain conditions including lender acceptance. Extensions of credit are based on a percentage of the eligible accounts receivable less required reserves principally related to the U.K. and North America operations. The Company expects funding of the Revolver Agreement to close by August 25, 2010.

The maturity date of the Revolver Agreement is August 5, 2014. Borrowings may initially be made with an interest rate based on a base rate plus 2.25% or on the LIBOR rate for the applicable period plus 3.25%. The applicable margin for each rate is based on the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Revolver Agreement). The interest rate on outstanding borrowings would approximate 5.5% as of August 5, 2010. Borrowings under the Revolver Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its North American and U.K. subsidiaries.

The Revolver Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants including (1) a requirement to maintain a minimum excess availability of $10 million until such time as for two consecutive fiscal quarters (i) the Company’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is at least 1.2x and (ii) the Company’s North American and U.K. operations, for the four fiscal quarters then ending, have an EBITDA (as defined in the Revolver Agreement) for such twelve month period of not less than $0.5 million as of the end of each fiscal quarter during the fiscal years 2010 and 2011 and $1 million at the end of each fiscal quarter thereafter; thereafter a requirement to maintain a minimum availability of $5 million, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.1x and EBITDA for the Company’s North American and U.K. operations of at least $0.5 million during the fiscal years 2010 and 2011 and $1 million thereafter; (2) a limit on the payment of dividends of not more than $5 million per year and subject to certain conditions; (3) restrictions on the ability of the Company to make additional borrowings, acquire, merge or otherwise fundamentally change the ownership of the Company or repurchase the Company’s stock; (4) a limit on investments, and a limit on acquisitions of not more than $25 million in cash and $25 million in non-cash consideration per year, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Revolver Agreement; and (5) a limit on dispositions of assets of not more than $4 million per year.

The Revolver Agreement also contains customary events of default. RBS may declare any outstanding obligations under the Revolver Agreement immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default. In addition, the amount of any outstanding obligations under the Revolver Agreement will be immediately due and payable in the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under the Revolver Agreement becomes the subject of voluntary or involuntary proceedings under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

The foregoing description of the Revolver Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Revolver Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Receivables Finance Agreement and Related Agreements

On August 3, 2010, an Australian subsidiary of the Company entered into a Receivables Finance Agreement and related agreements (the “Finance Agreement”) with Commonwealth Bank of Australia (“CBA”) that provided the Australian subsidiary with the ability to borrow up to approximately A$15 million ($13.7 million). Under the terms of the Finance Agreement, the Australian subsidiary may make offers to CBA to assign its accounts receivable with recourse, which accounts receivable CBA may in its good faith discretion elect to purchase. As of August 3, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Finance Agreement and there was a total of A$2.4 million ($2.2 million) of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Finance Agreement. Available credit for use under the Finance Agreement as of August 3, 2010 was A$12.6 million ($11.5 million).

The Finance Agreement does not have a stated maturity date and can be terminated by either party upon 90 days written notice. Borrowings may be made with an interest rate based on the average bid rate for bills of exchange (“BBSY”) with the closest term to 30 days plus a margin of 1.6%. The interest rate was 6.29% as of August 3, 2010. Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Australian subsidiary and are based on an agreed percentage of eligible accounts receivable.

The Finance Agreement contains various restrictions and covenants for the Australian subsidiary, including (1) a requirement to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Finance Agreement) ratio of 70%; (2) a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Finance Agreement) of 1.4x for a trailing twelve month period; and (3) a limitation on certain intercompany payments of expenses, interest and dividends not to exceed Net Profit After Tax (as defined in the Finance Agreement).

The Finance Agreement also contains customary events of default. CBA may declare any outstanding obligations under the Finance Agreement immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of an event of default and may refuse to complete assignments of receivables.

The foregoing description of the Finance Agreement and related agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Finance Agreement, the Receivables Finance Facility Offer Letter and the Letter of Approval and Acceptance of Offer, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02.

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The Company has had a primary credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, Inc. (“WFCF”) and another lender. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $10.5 million of outstanding borrowings, and $4.0 million of outstanding letters of credit issued, under the Credit Agreement.

In connection with entering into the Revolver Agreement, the Company issued WFCF notice to terminate the Credit Agreement effective no later than August 25, 2010. The Company will repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement as well as an early termination fee of $0.6 million on the effective date of the termination with proceeds from the Revolver Agreement. In addition, the Company will record a non-cash write-off of $0.4 million of unamortized deferred financing costs in connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement.

Applicable Margin - with respect to any Type of Loan or LC Obligation, the margin set forth below, as determined by the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the last Fiscal Quarter:

Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up to its Revolving Loan Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make Revolving Loans to Borrowers from time to time commencing on the Closing Date and continuing through the Commitment Termination Date. The Revolving Loans may be repaid and reborrowed as provided herein. In no event shall Lenders have any obligation to honor a request for a Revolving Loan by Administrative Borrower on behalf of any Borrower or at the request of any Borrower if the unpaid balance of Revolving Loans outstanding at such time (including the requested Loan) would exceed an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base and (ii) the Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect, in the case of this clause (ii) only, to any Availability Reserves set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (h) of the definition of Availability Reserves).

2.1.2 Revolving Loan Notes. The Revolving Loans made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender. At the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall deliver a Revolving Loan Note to such Lender.

2.1.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely (a) to pay each of the Persons listed in the disbursement direction letter furnished by Borrowers to Agent on the Closing Date; (b) to pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of this credit facility; (c) to repay existing Debt of Loan Parties and certain Subsidiaries to pay off a financing arrangement with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, as agent owing to the existing creditors listed in the disbursement direction letter furnished by Borrowers to Agent on the Closing Date; (d) to pay Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (e) for working capital and other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers, and to pay all other payments expressly permitted under this Agreement. None of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any Debt which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose, which, with respect to any of the foregoing, causes any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended.

2.1.4 Termination of Revolving Loan Commitments.

(a) The Revolving Loan Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Agent, Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, may, at its option, terminate the Revolving Loan Commitments and this credit facility. Any notice of termination given by Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, shall be irrevocable. On the termination date, Borrowers shall make Full Payment of all Obligations.

(b) Concurrently with any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, for whatever reason (including a termination under Section 11.2 hereof), Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders and as liquidated damages for loss of bargain (and not as a penalty), an amount equal to (i) if the termination occurs during the first Loan Year, one (1.0%) percent of the Revolving Loan Commitments being terminated; (ii) if it occurs during the second Loan Year, one half of one (0.50%) percent of the Revolving Loan Commitments being terminated; and (iii) if it occurs thereafter but before 365 days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, one quarter of one (0.25%) percent of the Revolving Loan Commitments being terminated.

2.1.5 Overadvances. If the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans exceeds, at any time, the lesser of (a) the Borrowing Base and (b) the Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect, in the case of this clause (b) only, to any Availability Reserves set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (h) of the definition of Availability Reserves (any such occurrence, an “Overadvance”), the excess amount (which shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents) shall be payable by Borrowers promptly on demand (but in any event not later than the next Business Day) by Agent, unless such Overadvance is the result of the establishment of an Availability Reserve by Agent and is not related to any other event, condition or other matter other than the establishment of such Availability Reserve, in which case, such Overadvance shall be payable by Borrowers within five (5) Business Days from the date of such demand. Unless its authority has been revoked in writing by Required Lenders, Agent may require Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (i) when no other Event of Default is known to Agent, as long as (A) the Overadvance does not continue for more than thirty (30) consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five (5) consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (B) the Overadvance is not known by Agent to exceed ten (10%) percent of the Borrowing Base; and (ii) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (A) is not increased by more than $1,000,000, and (B) does not continue for more than thirty (30) consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and LC Obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition thereof to exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.1.6 Protective Advances. Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that an Event of Default exists or any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied to make Base Rate Revolving Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) up to an aggregate amount of ten (10%) percent of the Borrowing Base outstanding at any time, if Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect any Collateral, or to enhance the collectibility or repayment of Obligations; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Loan Parties under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses. All Protective Advances shall be Obligations, secured by the Collateral, and shall be treated for all purposes as Extraordinary Expenses; provided, that Agent shall provide Administrative Borrower with notice upon making any such Protective Advance. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization to make further Protective Advances by written notice to Agent. Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

(v) supplements or modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and such additional Loan Documents, including any new Revolving Loan Notes to Section 2.1.7 New Lenders and replacement Revolving Loan Notes to Lenders that agree to participate in such Borrower Revolver Increase, that the Agent reasonably deems necessary in order to document such Borrower Revolver Increase and otherwise assure and give effect to the rights of the Agent and the Lenders in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

2.2 Reserved.

2.3 Letter of Credit Facility.

2.3.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time, commencing on the Closing Date until thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank’s receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives a LC Request and LC Application at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; and (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied. If Issuing Bank receives written notice from Agent at least one (1) Business Day before issuance of a Letter of Credit that any LC Condition has not been satisfied, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by Agent or until Required Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.

(b) Letters of Credit may be requested by Administrative Borrower, for the benefit of a Borrower, only (i) to support obligations of such Borrower incurred for proper corporate purposes; or (ii) for other purposes as Agent and Lenders may approve from time to time in writing. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit; except, that, delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion of Issuing Bank.

(c) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, none of Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, notice or other communication in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person (except to the extent Issuing Bank shall be grossly negligent in doing so or shall engage in willful misconduct). Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts (except to the extent Issuing Bank shall be grossly negligent in doing so or shall engage in willful misconduct). Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender hereunder, unless Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Issuing Bank with Borrowers or such Impacted Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to such Impacted Lender (it being understood that the Issuing Bank would consider Borrowers providing Cash Collateral to Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, to secure the Impacted Lender’s pro rata share of the Letter of Credit a satisfactory arrangement); provided, that, notwithstanding anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary, each of the parties hereto hereby agree that any grant of collateral by any Person to Agent or the Issuing Bank in connection with such arrangements to eliminate such risks of the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to be permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents (and shall not result in any violation thereof) and neither Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall be required to share such collateral with any Lender.

2.3.2 Reimbursement; Participations.

(a) If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, on the same day if demand therefor is received prior to noon and the following day if demand therefor is received after noon (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Revolving Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Administrative Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b) Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all LC Obligations relating to the Letter of Credit. If Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall promptly (within one (1) Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, the Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c) The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. Issuing Bank does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Loan Party. Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party.

(d) No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence or willful misconduct. Issuing Bank shall not have any liability to any Lender if Issuing Bank refrains from any action under any Letter of Credit or LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Lenders.

2.3.3 Cash Collateral. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that Availability is less than zero, (c) after the Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, then Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or Agent’s request, pay to Issuing Bank the amount of all outstanding LC Obligations and Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit. If Borrowers fail to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit as required herein, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Revolving Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied). Any Letter of Credit that is so Cash Collateralized shall be deemed no longer outstanding for purposes of this Agreement.

2.3.4 Foreign Currencies. All Loans shall be made in Dollars. All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, the Swedish Kroner and such other currencies as agreed to by Agent in its Permitted Discretion. Agent and Lenders shall permit the conversion by Borrower of any Loan made by or for or Letter of Credit issued for the direct benefit or use of UK Borrower to a currency other than Dollars by means of a foreign exchange facility provided by an Affiliate of Agent, provided that (a) such currency is freely available for purchase or exchange in international currency markets, (b) the making of such Loans or issuance of such Letter of Credit does not otherwise violate any term or condition of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (c) for purposes of determining Availability, all amounts of Loans and Letters of Credit to or for the direct benefit or use of UK Borrower shall be calculated in Dollar equivalents as of the date such Loan is made or Letter of Credit is issued.

SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1 Interest.

3.1.1 Rates and Payment of Interest.

(a) The Obligations, other than the LC Obligations, shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at the LIBOR Lending Rate for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Revolving Loans. Interest shall accrue from the date the Loan is advanced or the Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid by Borrowers. If a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one (1) day’s interest shall accrue.

(b) During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party, or during any other Event of Default if Agent in its discretion so elects, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and each Lender due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Agent and Lenders for such added cost and expense.

(c) Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) for any Base Rate Loan, on the first (1st) day of each month and, for any LIBOR Loan, the last day of its Interest Period; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable promptly on demand (but in any event not later than the next Business Day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable promptly on demand (but in any event not later than the next Business Day).

3.1.2 Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Agent on or before 12:00 noon New York City time on a Business Day, Borrowers may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than two (2) nor more than five (5) Business Days’ notice, that, subject to Section 4.3 below, (a) any Base Rate Loan be converted to a LIBOR Loan or (b) any LIBOR Loan be converted on the last day of an Interest Period into a LIBOR Loan with a different Interest Period, or continued on the last day of an Interest Period as a LIBOR Loan with a similar Interest Period; provided, however, that, in Agent’s discretion, no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be converted to, or continued as, LIBOR Loans when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be converted to LIBOR Loans of a different duration if such Loans relate to obligations under any Hedging Agreement with a Bank Product Provider. In the absence of delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to any LIBOR Loan at least two Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBOR Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

3.1.3 Repayments, Continuations and Conversions of LIBOR Loans. LIBOR Loans shall mature and become payable in full on the last day of the Interest Period relating to such LIBOR Loan. Upon maturity, a LIBOR Loan may be continued for an additional Interest Period or may be converted to a Base Rate Loan, as set forth in Section 3.1.2.

3.1.4 Substitute Rate.

(a) If Agent shall have determined that:

(i) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to Agent in the London interbank market; or

(ii) by reason of circumstances affecting Agent in the London interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Loans of any duration,

then, upon notice from Agent to Administrative Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBOR Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Agent shall give timely notice to Administrative Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the LIBOR Rate no longer adequately reflects such Lender’s cost of funding loans, then, upon notice from such Lender to Administrative Borrower and Agent, the obligations of such Lender under this Section to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBOR Loans of such duration shall forthwith be suspended until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Agent shall give timely notice to Administrative Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist.

3.2 Fees.

3.2.1 Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to (a) 0.625% per annum multiplied by the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the average daily principal balance of Revolving Loans and stated amount of Letters of Credit during any month (the “Average Daily Balance”), if such Average Daily Balance is less than thirty three (33%) percent of the Revolving Loan Commitments and (b) 0.40% per annum multiplied by the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the average daily principal balance of Revolving Loans and stated amount of Letters of Credit during any month, if such Average Daily Balance is greater than or equal to thirty three (33%) percent. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first (1st) day of each month and on the Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.2 LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall pay (a) to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Revolving Loans multiplied by the average daily stated amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first (1st) day of each month; (b) to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, a fronting fee equal to one-eighth of one (.125%) percent of the stated amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable upon issuance of the Letter of Credit and (so long as such Letter of Credit is outstanding) on each anniversary date of such issuance, and shall be payable on any increase in stated amount made between any such dates; and (c) to Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be detailed in an invoice to Administrative Borrower and be paid as and when incurred.

3.2.3 Other Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent the other fees and amounts set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein. To the extent payment in full of the applicable fee as set forth in the Fee Letter is received by Agent from Borrowers on or about the Closing Date, Agent shall pay to each Lender its share of such fees in accordance with the terms of the arrangements of Agent with such Lender.

3.3 Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate or refund, nor subject to proration except as specifically provided herein. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.9, submitted to Administrative Borrower by Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

3.4 Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for all Extraordinary Expenses. Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Loan Party or Collateral, whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party. All legal, accounting and consulting fees shall be charged to Borrowers by Agent’s professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any reduced or alternative fee billing arrangements that Agent or any of its Affiliates may have with such professionals with respect to this or any other transaction. All amounts reimbursable by Borrowers under this Section shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and shall be payable within five (5) days after receipt of written demand (which shall set forth such amount and the basis therefor in reasonable detail).

3.5 Illegality. If a Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Administrative Borrower and Agent be conclusive and binding on Borrowers) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or guideline (whether or not having the force of law), makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any LIBOR Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBOR Loan of a certain duration, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue, maintain or convert into any such LIBOR Loans shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify Borrower and Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBOR Loans of such type of such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

3.6 Increased Costs.

3.6.1 Increased Costs Generally. If on or after the Signing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation or guideline (whether or not having the force of law), or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(a) shall subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans (except for Excluded Taxes); or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after written demand (which shall set forth the amount(s) due and the basis therefor in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers absent manifest error) by such Lender, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

3.6.2 Failure or Delay in Demanding Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.6 or in Section 3.7 below shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that Agent or such Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.7 Increased Capital Costs. If on or after the Signing Date, any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other Governmental Authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender, or Person controlling such Lender, and such Lender determines (in its discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitments or the Loans made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon written notice from time to time by such Lender to Borrower and Agent, Borrowers shall within fifteen (15) days pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. Such notice shall include a statement of such Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) which shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrowers. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its discretion) shall deem applicable.

3.8 Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that, upon becoming aware that it is subject to Section 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 or 5.9, it will take reasonable measures to reduce Borrowers’ obligations under such Sections, including funding or maintaining its Commitments or Loans through another office, as long as use of such measures would not adversely affect the Lender’s Commitments, Loans, business or interests, and would not be inconsistent with any internal policy or applicable legal or regulatory restriction.

3.9 Indemnities. In addition to the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee payable under Section 5.4.1, Borrowers agree to reimburse each Lender (without duplication) for any increase in the cost to such Lender, or reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender, in respect, or as a result of:

(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;

(b) any Loans not being made as LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Notice of Borrowing thereof;

(c) any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Loans in accordance with the Notice of Conversion/ Continuation notice thereof; or

(d) any costs associated with marking to market any obligations under any Hedging Agreement with a Bank Product Provider that (in the reasonable determination of Agent) are required to be terminated as a result of any conversion, repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Such Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Borrower and Agent in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and contain a computation of the additional amount required to fully compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by Borrowers to such Lender within fifteen (15) Business Days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrowers. Borrowers understand, agree and acknowledge the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Loan, (ii) the LIBOR Rate may be used merely as a reference in determining such rate, and (iii) each Borrower has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate, the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee, and other funding losses incurred by the Lenders. Borrowers further agree to pay the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee and other funding losses, if any, whether or not the applicable Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

3.10 Maximum Interest. In no event shall interest, charges or other amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Agent and Lenders pursuant to any Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law (“interest”) exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent the foregoing limitation, would have exceeded the maximum rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the maximum rate and, if in a future month, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the maximum rate, then the rate shall remain at the maximum rate until the amount of interest actually paid equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if it had not been limited by the maximum rate. If, upon Full Payment of the Obligations, the total amount of interest actually paid under the Loan Documents is less than the total amount of interest that would, but for this Section, have accrued under the Loan Documents, then Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have been charged if the maximum rate had been in effect at all times, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents been in effect, minus (b) the amount of interest actually paid under the Loan Documents. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Agent or any Lender has received interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed under Applicable Law, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, Obligations other than interest (regardless of any erroneous application thereof by Agent or any Lender), and upon Full Payment of the Obligations, any balance shall be refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether any excess interest has been charged or received by Agent or any Lender, all interest at any time charged or received from Borrowers in connection with the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations.

3.11 Replacement Lender. Administrative Borrower may obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for a Lender, other than Agent, invoking Section 3.6, 3.7, 4.2 or 5.9 of this Agreement (an “Affected Lender”), which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent. In the event Administrative Borrower obtains a Replacement Lender that will purchase all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and assume its Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder within ninety (90) days following notice of Administrative Borrower’s intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell and assign its Loans and Revolving Loan Commitment to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3, provided, however, Borrowers have (1) reimbursed such Affected Lender for any administrative fee payable by such Affected Lender to Agent pursuant to Section 13.3 and (2) in any case where such replacement occurs as the result of a demand for payment of certain costs pursuant to Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.9, paid all increased costs for which such Affected Lender is entitled to under such Sections 3.6, 3.7 or 3.9 through the date of such sale and assignment; provided, that each Replacement Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee.

SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolving Loans.

4.1.1 Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Whenever Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans, Administrative Borrower shall give Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. New York City time (i) on the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 1:00 p.m. New York City time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the principal amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one (1) month if not specified).

(b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Bank Product Debt) shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Revolving Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation.

(c) Borrowers shall establish and maintain controlled disbursement accounts with Agent or Agent’s Affiliate. The parties agree that the presentation for payment of any check or other item of payment drawn on, or other transfer made from, such account at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the check and items presented for payment. The proceeds of such Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement accounts or other appropriate account.

4.1.2 Fundings by Lenders. Each Lender shall timely honor its Revolving Loan Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolving Loans that is properly requested hereunder. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans or by 3:00 p.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days before any proposed funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender shall fund to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the requested funding date, unless Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which event Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolving Loans as directed by Administrative Borrower. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers. If a Lender’s share of any Borrowing is not in fact received by Agent, then Borrowers agree to repay to Agent promptly on demand (but in any event not later than the next Business Day) the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing.

4.1.3 Swingline Loans; Settlement.

(a) Agent may in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, advance Swingline Loans to Borrowers out of Agent’s own funds, up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $5,000,000, unless the funding is specifically required to be made by all Lenders hereunder. Each Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolving Loan for all purposes; except, that, payments thereon shall be made to Agent for its own account. The obligation of Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and need not be evidenced by any promissory note.

(b) To facilitate administration of the Revolving Loans, Lenders and Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that settlement among them with respect to Swingline Loans and other Revolving Loans may take place periodically on a date determined from time to time by Agent, which shall occur at least once every five (5) Business Days. On each settlement date, settlement shall be made with each Lender in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders. Between settlement dates, Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Revolving Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by Borrowers or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender’s obligation to make settlements with Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a Loan Party or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among Lenders hereunder, then each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro Rata participation in each unpaid Swingline Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within one (1) Business Day after Agent’s request therefor. Each Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata share of the Loans to the extent such Loans have been funded by such Lender. Because Agent on behalf of Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans prior to the time when Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by Agent in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers or actually settled with the applicable Lender as described in this Section.

4.1.4 Notices. Each Loan Party authorizes Agent and Lenders to extend, convert or continue Loans, effect selections of interest rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of Borrowers based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions. Administrative Borrower, for the account of Borrowers, shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs in any material respect from the action taken by Agent or Lenders upon its good faith understanding of such instructions by a Loan Party, the records of Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Loan Party as a result of Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Loan Party’s behalf.

4.2 Defaulting Lender. If a Lender fails to make any payment to Agent that is required hereunder (a “Defaulting Lender”), Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees and whether in respect of Revolving Loans, participation interests or otherwise). For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0). At any time that there is a Defaulting Lender, payments received for application to the Obligations payable to Lenders (other than the Defaulting Lender) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be distributed to such non-defaulting Lenders on a Pro Rata basis calculated after giving effect to the reduction of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment to zero (0) as provided herein or at Agent’s option, Agent may instead receive and retain such amounts that would be otherwise attributable to the Pro Rata share of the Defaulting Lender. To the extent that Agent elects to receive and retain such amounts, Agent may hold them and, in its reasonable discretion, relend such amounts to Borrowers. To the extent that Agent exercises its option to relend such amounts, such amounts shall be treated as Revolving Loans for the account of Agent in addition to the Revolving Loans that are made by the Lenders, other than Defaulting Lenders, on a Pro Rata basis as calculated after giving effect to the reduction of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment to zero (0) as provided herein but shall be repaid in the same order of priority as Protective Advances for purposes of Section 5.6.1 hereof, except as Agent may otherwise elect. Agent shall determine whether any Revolving Loans requested shall be made from relending such amounts or from Revolving Loans from the Lenders other than the Defaulting Lenders and any allocation of requested Revolving Loans between them. The rights of a Defaulting Lender shall be limited as provided herein until such time as the Defaulting Lender (a) has made all payments to Agent of the amounts that it had failed to pay causing it to become a Defaulting Lender, (b) has made any other payments as it would have been required to make as a Lender during the period that it was a Defaulting Lender other than in respect of the principal amount of Revolving Loans, which payments as to the principal amount of Revolving Loans shall be settled and funded based on the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans on the date that Defaulting Lender makes all of the payments required to be made under Section 4.2(a) above or shall be settled and funded by such Lender at such other time thereafter as Agent may specify, and (c) is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the making of such payment or payments by Defaulting Lender with respect to the event that is the basis for it having become a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall (i) cease to be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) only be entitled to receive the payment of interest (and no other amounts) accrued during the period that such Lender was a Defaulting Lender to the extent previously received and retained by Agent from or for the account of Borrowers relating to the funds constituting Loans funded by such Lender prior to the date that such Lender became a Defaulting Lender (and not previously paid to such Lender), (iii) have its Commitment reinstated for all purposes and (iv) fund Loans and settle in respect of the Loans and other Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof. The existence of a Defaulting Lender and the operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower or Guarantor of its duties and obligations hereunder. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Administrative Borrower at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be acceptable to Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld). In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Debt) without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever; provided, however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Agent’s, any Lender’s or Borrowers’ rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund.

4.3 Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate. For ease of administration, all LIBOR Revolving Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together, and such Loans shall be allocated among Lenders on a Pro Rata basis. No more than seven (7) aggregated LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and each aggregate LIBOR Loan when made, continued or converted shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000, or an increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

Upon determining the LIBOR Lending Rate for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Administrative Borrower thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Administrative Borrower, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.4 Administrative Borrower.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes HHG (“Administrative Borrower”) as its agent to request and receive Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and the Loan Documents from Agent or any Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower. Agent and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank account of Administrative Borrower or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower and provide such Letters of Credit to a Borrower as Administrative Borrower may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower or Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.

(b) Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 4.4. Administrative Borrower shall ensure that the disbursement of any Revolving Loans to each Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of Borrowers, or the issuance of any Letters of Credit for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid to or for the account of such Borrower.

(c) Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Borrower as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(d) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any other Borrower or any Guarantor by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower or Guarantor to the same extent as if made directly by such Borrower or Guarantor.

(e) No purported termination of the appointment of Administrative Borrower as agent as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) days' prior written notice to Agent.

4.5 One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document) shall be secured by Agent’s Lien upon all Collateral; provided, however, that, Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

4.6 Effect of Termination. On the effective date of any termination of the Commitments, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may upon notice to the applicable Loan Parties and subject to the terms thereof terminate its and its Affiliates’ Bank Products (including, with the consent of Agent, any Cash Management Services). All undertakings of Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination of the Commitments, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, in each case, until Full Payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding Full Payment of the Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to any damages Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Obligations, Agent receives (a) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and Lenders from any such damages; or (b) such Cash Collateral as Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary to protect against any such damages. The provisions of Sections 2.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.9, 12, 15.2, 15.11 and this Section, and the obligation of each Loan Party and Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1 General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, may, at the time of payment, specify to Agent the Obligations to which such payment is to be applied, but Agent shall in all events retain the right to apply such payment in such manner as Agent, subject to the provisions hereof, may determine to be appropriate. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Any payment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee and all amounts due under Section 3.9. Subject to Section 5.6.1, any payment or prepayment of Loans shall be applied to each Lender’s Loans on a Pro Rata basis. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans in a manner that reduced, to the extent practicable, any associated breakage costs.

5.2 Repayment of Revolving Loans. Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Revolving Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Agent’s written demand or the first (1st) Business Day after any Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize LC Obligations in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of Revolving Loans to the lesser of (a) the Borrowing Base and (b) the Revolving Loan Commitments (after giving effect, in the case of this clause (b) only, to any Availability Reserves set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (h) of the definition of Availability Reserves).

5.3 Mandatory Prepayments.

5.3.1 Upon any Permitted Asset Disposition (excluding a Permitted Asset Disposition referred to in clause (g) of Section 10.2.7), Borrowers shall remit the Net Proceeds thereof in excess of $3,000,000 with respect to each such disposition to Agent for application to the Revolving Loans; provided, however, Borrowers may use such Net Proceeds to purchase replacement assets so long as each of the following conditions (collectively, the “Reinvestment Conditions”) are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds, (ii) Borrowers shall have certified to Agent in writing their intention to replace the assets being disposed within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, (iii) such replacement or reinvestment is actually completed within 180 days after the applicable Permitted Asset Disposition and (iv) any Net Proceeds remaining after such replacement or reinvestment or to the extent such replacement or reinvestment is not completed within 180 days after the applicable Permitted Asset Disposition shall be remitted to Agent promptly thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 100% of the Net Proceeds of any Permitted Asset Disposition shall be immediately remitted to Agent for application to the Obligations upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

5.3.2 Within five (5) Business Days of any issuance of Capital Stock in a capital markets transaction by a Borrower, to the extent such issuance occurs during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall remit the net cash proceeds thereof to Agent for application to the Revolving Loans;

5.3.3 Concurrently with the receipt of any proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards paid in respect of any assets of Borrowers, Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the amount such proceeds exceed $500,000, subject to Section 8.7.2; and

5.3.4 Concurrently with the receipt of any key man life insurance proceeds, if any, Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such proceeds.

5.4 Payment of LIBOR Loans and Other Obligations.

5.4.1 LIBOR Loans. LIBOR Loans may be prepaid upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. For LIBOR Loans in connection with which Borrowers have or may incur obligations under any Hedging Agreement with a Bank Product Provider, additional obligations may be associated with prepayment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Hedging Agreements. Administrative Borrower shall give Agent, no later than 12:00 noon New York City time at least two (2) Business Days notice of any proposed prepayment of any LIBOR Loans, specifying the proposed date of payment of such LIBOR Loans, and the principal amount to be paid. Each partial prepayment of the principal amount of LIBOR Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on such LIBOR Loans and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment. Borrowers acknowledge that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Loan during an Interest Period shall result in the Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, all full or partial prepayments of LIBOR Loans on any date other than on the last day of an Interest Period shall be accompanied by, and Borrowers hereby promise to pay to Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders, on each such date or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise, in addition to all other sums then owing, an amount (“LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee”) determined by Agent pursuant to the following formula:

(a) the then current LIBOR Rate applicable to an Interest Period with a maturity date closest to the end of the Interest Period with respect to the LIBOR Loans being prepaid as to which prepayment is made, subtracted from

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

If the result of this calculation is zero (0) or a negative number, then there shall be no LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee. If the result of this calculation is a positive number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by:

(i) the amount of the LIBOR Loan being prepaid.

The resulting amount shall be divided by:

(ii) 360

and multiplied by:

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

The resulting amount of these calculations shall be the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee without duplication of any amounts payable in accordance with Section 3.9. Upon the request of Administrative Borrower, Agent shall deliver to Administrative Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations set forth above, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

5.4.2 Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, promptly on written demand.

5.5 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against any Obligations. If any Loan Party makes a payment to Agent or Lenders, or if Agent or any Lender receives payment from the proceeds of Collateral, exercise of setoff or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently invalidated or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligations originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received and any enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.6 Post-Default Allocation of Payments.

5.6.1 Allocation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject always to Applicable Law), during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Loan Party, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(a) first, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent;

(b) second, to interest and all other amounts owing to Agent on Swingline Loans or Protective Advances;

(d) fourth, to all Obligations constituting interest (excluding amounts relating to Bank Products);

(e) fifth, to all other Obligations or to Cash Collateralize LC Obligations (but not including any Obligations in connection with any Bank Product Debt); and

(f) last, to Bank Product Debt.

Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until Full Payment thereof and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Obligations in the category. Amounts distributed with respect to any Bank Product Debt shall be the lesser of the applicable Bank Product Amount last reported to Agent or the actual Bank Product Debt as calculated by the methodology reported to Agent for determining the amount due. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Bank Product Debt, but may rely upon written notice of the amount (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of such notice, Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is the Bank Product Amount last reported to it. The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Lenders as among themselves, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Loan Party.

5.6.2 Erroneous Application. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

5.7 Application of Payments; Payments Generally.

5.7.1 Application of Payments. The ledger balance (including both (a) collected funds and (b) payments conditional upon final collection) in each Dominion Account that is a blocked account as of the end of a Business Day (if applied to the Obligations pursuant to a Cash Dominion Trigger Event or otherwise) shall be applied to the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day; provided, that, for the purposes of calculating interest on the Obligations, all payments will be applied to the Obligations two (2) Business Days following the date of receipt of such payments in each such Dominion Account. Each Loan Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Agent in its records. If, as a result of Agent’s receipt of Payment Items or proceeds of Collateral, a credit balance exists, in any such Dominion Account, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of any Loan Party and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Default or Event of Default exists.

5.7.2 Authorization to Charge Loan Account. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent, from time to time, without prior notice to Borrowers, to charge all principal, interest, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents if Borrowers fail to pay as and when due and payable under any Loan Document (including any amounts due and payable in respect of Bank Products) to Borrowers’ Loan Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute (and shall be deemed a request for) a Loan hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Alternatively, at Agent’s election, Borrowers hereby authorize Administrative Borrower to charge any deposit account of the Borrowers maintained with the Agent for any of the foregoing amounts as and when it becomes due and payable under any Loan Document.

5.8 Loan Account; Account Stated.

5.8.1 Loan Account. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers resulting from each Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit from time to time. Any failure of Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Loan Parties to pay any amount owing hereunder. Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of Administrative Borrower, and each Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations.

5.8.2 Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.9 Taxes.

5.9.1 Taxes Generally. If any Taxes (except Excluded Taxes) shall be payable by any party due to the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any Obligations, Borrowers shall upon receipt of written notice regarding the amount thereof (including the basis for such amount in reasonable detail), promptly pay (and shall promptly reimburse Agent and Lenders for their payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitees against all liability in connection therewith. If Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes (except Excluded Taxes) with respect to any sum payable under any Loan Documents, (a) the sum payable to Agent or such Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made; (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions; and (c) Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

5.9.2 Refunds. If Agent has received a refund or reimbursement of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.9, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 5.9 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith of the Agent and Lenders and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Agent, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

5.10 Withholding Tax Exemption. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first date for payment of interest or fees hereunder to a Foreign Lender, the Foreign Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any subsequent replacement or substitute form therefor), certifying that such Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and Agent two additional copies of such form before the preceding form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the form, as well as any amendments, extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Borrower or Agent, in each case, certifying that the Foreign Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any such taxes, unless an event (including any change in treaty or law) has occurred that renders such forms inapplicable or prevents the Foreign Lender from certifying that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes. During any period that a Foreign Lender does not or is unable to establish that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes, other than by reason of an event (including any change in treaty or law) that occurs after it becomes a Lender, Agent may withhold taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory and treaty rates, and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under this Section as a result of such withholding.

5.11 Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

5.11.1 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) All Borrowers shall be liable for all amounts due to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which Agent and Lenders account for such Loans, Letters of Credit or other extensions of credit on its books and records. The Obligations with respect to Loans made to a Borrower, and the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder, with respect to Loans made to the other Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of all Borrowers. The Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans, Letters of Credit or other extensions of credit made to the other Borrowers hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the Obligations of the other Borrowers or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from the other Borrowers or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Agent or Lenders with respect to any provisions of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of the other Borrowers, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrowers and delivered to Agent, for itself and on behalf of Lenders, (iv) the failure by Agent or Lenders to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights and maintain its security or collateral for the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (v) the election of Agent or Lenders in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) the disallowance of all or any portion of the claim(s) of Agent or Lenders for the repayment of the Obligations of the other Borrowers under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (vii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the other Borrowers. With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans, Letters of Credit or other extensions of credit made to the other Borrowers hereunder, each Borrower waives, until Full Payment of the Obligations and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which Agent or Lenders now has or may hereafter have against Borrowers, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent and Lenders. Upon any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, Agent and Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that Agent and Lenders shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower(s) or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement.

5.11.2 Waivers.

(a) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, each Borrower expressly waives all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, as well as all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor.

(b) Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.11. If, in the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. If Agent bids at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of such Borrower’s Obligations to Agent and Lenders, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

5.11.3 Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to Agent and Lenders that (a) Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise; (b) Borrowers make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise in which Borrowers share an identity of interests such that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the other Borrowers; and (c) certain of Borrowers render services to or for the benefit of other Borrowers, as the case may be, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers (including, inter alia, the payment by Borrowers of creditors of the other Borrowers and guarantees by Borrowers of indebtedness of the other Borrowers and the provision of administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of the other Borrowers). Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

5.11.4 Subordination. Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party arising from any payments made hereunder, to the Full Payment of all Obligations.

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL

7.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, each Borrower and Guarantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all Property (other than the Excluded Property and any assets situated in Jersey) of such Borrower and Guarantor, including all of the following Property (other than Excluded Property), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located (save for any Jersey situate assets):

7.2.1 Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of such Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to each Deposit Account and Securities Account of such Borrower (excluding funds held in trust or escrow) and any deposits or other sums (excluding funds held in trust or escrow) at any time credited to any such Deposit Account or Securities Account, including any sums (excluding funds held in trust or escrow) in any Dominion Account or in any accounts into which such sums are swept, including the Agent Payment Account; provided, however, that unless a Cash Dominion Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may maintain on deposit with financial institutions other than Agent and its Affiliates (a “Non-Agent Deposit Account”) up to $2,000,000 in the aggregate in all such Non-Agent Deposit Accounts at any time, which such Non-Agent Deposit Accounts shall not be subject to the security interest or control of Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers will cause all proceeds of accounts receivable to be forwarded to a lockbox or, with Agent’s consent, deposited into a special account, blocked account or other deposit account with respect to which the depository bank has entered into a written agreement with Agent granting to Agent a security interest in, and control over, the funds from time to time on deposit therein (each, a “Dominion Account”). Each Borrower and Guarantor will authorize and direct each bank or other depository to deliver to the Agent Payment Account, in accordance with Sections 8.4.1 and 8.4.2, all balances in each Dominion Account maintained by such Borrower with such depository for application to the Obligations then outstanding. During a Cash Dominion Trigger Event, each Borrower irrevocably appoints Agent as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to collect such balances to the extent any such delivery is not so made.

7.2.2 Cash Collateral. Any Cash Collateral may be invested in Cash Equivalents, but Agent shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement, understanding or course of dealing with any Borrower or Guarantor, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. Each Borrower and Guarantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a security interest in all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, whether such Cash Collateral is held in the Cash Collateral Account or elsewhere. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Agent may apply Cash Collateral to the payment of any Obligations, in such order as Agent may elect, as they become due and payable. The Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of Agent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, no Loan Party or other Person claiming through or on behalf of any Borrower or Guarantor shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of all Obligations or the termination or cancellation of such Obligations that are Cash Collateralized.

7.3 Reserved.

7.4 Other Collateral.

7.4.1 Commercial Tort Claims. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall promptly notify Agent in writing if any Borrower or Guarantor has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $1,000,000) and, upon Agent’s request, shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as Agent deems necessary to confer upon Agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) a duly perfected, first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) upon such claim.

7.4.2 Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall promptly notify Agent in writing if, after the Closing Date, any Borrower or Guarantor obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts (subject to Section 7.2.1), Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, applied-for, granted or registered Intellectual Property, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights in each case having a fair market value in excess of $750,000 and, upon Agent’s reasonable request, shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to effect Agent’s duly perfected, first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) upon such Collateral, including requesting any necessary possession, control agreement or Lien Waiver. If any Collateral having a fair market value in excess of $750,000 is in the possession of a third party, at Agent’s request, Loan Party shall request a written acknowledgment from such third party, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Agent.

7.5 No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Loan Parties relating to any Collateral.

7.6 Further Assurances. Promptly upon request, Borrowers and Guarantors shall deliver such instruments, assignments, title certificates, or Loan Documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as Agent reasonably deems necessary under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Section 7. Each Borrower and Guarantor authorizes Agent to file any financing statement that indicates the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Borrower or Guarantor, or words to similar effect.

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

8.1 Borrowing Base Certificates. By the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, shall deliver to Agent (and Agent shall promptly deliver same to Lenders) a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared as of the close of business of the previous month, and at such other times as Agent may reasonably request; provided, however, upon a Weekly Reporting Trigger, such Borrowing Base Certificates shall be delivered on Friday of each week prepared as of the close of business of the previous week. Upon and after the date which is ninety (90) days after any Weekly Reporting Trigger, Borrowing Base Certificates may resume being submitted on a monthly basis unless and until another Weekly Reporting Trigger occurs. All calculations of Excess Availability in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be made by Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, and certified by a Senior Officer of Administrative Borrower; provided, that, Agent may from time to time review and adjust any such calculation in its Permitted Discretion (a) to reflect its reasonable estimate of declines in value of any Collateral included in the Borrowing Base, due to collections received in any Dominion Account or otherwise; (b) to adjust advance rates to reflect changes in dilution, quality, mix and other factors affecting Collateral; and (c) to the extent the calculation is not made in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the Availability Reserve or the past due trade payables or other past due Debt of any Loan Party.

8.2 Administration of Accounts.

8.2.1 Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to Agent, on such periodic basis as Agent may reasonably request, a sales and collections report, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

8.2.2 Taxes. If an Account of any Loan Party includes a charge for any Taxes, Agent is authorized, in its discretion during an Event of Default to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Loan Party and upon providing notice (with reasonable detail regarding such Taxes) to such Loan Party, to charge such Loan Party therefor; provided, however, that, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from any Loan Party or with respect to any Collateral.

8.2.3 Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any Loan Party to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Loan Party by mail, telephone or otherwise; provided, however, so long as a Default or Event of Default is not existing, Agent will notify Administrative Borrower of its intent to verify Accounts generally and the approximate timing of such verification, although Agent shall be under no obligation to notify any Loan Party of its intention to verify a particular Account. Loan Parties shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

By not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, each Borrower shall (i) have terminated its existing deposit accounts with Wells Fargo Bank and Barclays Bank and (ii) establish and maintain its master collection and operating accounts with Agent or one or more of its Affiliates, and shall utilize Agent or one or more of its Affiliates as its principal depository bank, including for the maintenance of administrative, cash management, collection activity, and other deposit accounts for the conduct of its business and the business of the other Loan Parties (it being understood and agreed, however, that Borrowers may maintain Non-Agent Deposit Accounts as permitted under Section 7.2.1 hereof).

8.4 Maintenance of Dominion Accounts.

8.4.1 Control Agreements. Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to arrangements acceptable to Agent. Except as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2.1, Borrowers shall obtain a Control Agreement from each Dominion Account bank, establishing Agent’s control over and Lien in such Dominion Account, requiring that (i) all items of payment deposited in such Dominion Account and proceeds thereof are held by such Dominion Account Bank as agent or bailee in possession for or to the order of Agent, (ii) the Dominion Account bank has no rights of setoff or recoupment or any other claim against the applicable Dominion Account, other than for payment of its service fees and other charges directly related to the administration of such Dominion Account and for returned checks or other items of payment (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be construed to mean that RBS, in its capacity as Agent and as a Lender, shall not have the rights of setoff described in Section 11.4 hereof), and (iii) upon receipt of written notice from Agent, such Dominion Account bank will immediately forward by daily sweep all amounts in the applicable Dominion Account to the Agent Payment Account.

8.4.2 Control. Unless a Cash Dominion Trigger Event shall have occurred, Agent will not exercise its control over any Dominion Account. If Agent has exercised its control over any Dominion Account, Agent shall discontinue the exercise of its control over such Dominion Account at such time as no Cash Dominion Trigger Event has existed for a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days; provided, that, nothing herein shall affect Agent’s right to reinstate its control over any such Dominion Account upon any subsequent occurrence, and during the continuation, of Cash Dominion Trigger Event.

8.4.3 Responsibility. Neither Agent nor Lenders assume any responsibility to Loan Parties for any Dominion Account or Control Agreements, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

8.7.2 Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

(a) Each Borrower and Guarantor shall (and shall cause each other Loan Party to) maintain insurance with respect to all tangible items of Collateral, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, theft, malicious mischief, and such other risks, in such amounts, with such endorsements, and with such insurers (rated A or better by A.M. Best Rating Guide) as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent. All proceeds under each policy shall be payable to Agent. From time to time upon request, Loan Parties shall deliver to Agent certificates, policies or endorsements as Agent shall reasonably require as proof of such insurance and any updated flood plain searches. Unless Agent shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent as sole loss payee or additional insured, as appropriate; (ii) requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Loan Party or the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy. If any Loan Party fails to provide and pay for such insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge Borrowers therefor. Each Loan Party agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly as rendered, copies of all claim reports made to insurance companies where the claim made is in excess of $500,000. While no Event of Default exists, Loan Parties may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered to Agent. If an Event of Default exists, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

(b) Any Net Proceeds of insurance (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) and any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to Agent; provided, however, that so long as the Reinvestment Conditions have been satisfied, Borrowers may use the Net Proceeds of any such insurance award to purchase replacement assets. Subject to clause (c) below, any such proceeds or awards that relate to Inventory shall be applied to payment of the Revolving Loans, and then to any other Obligations outstanding. Subject to clause (c) below, any proceeds or awards that relate to Equipment shall be applied first to Revolving Loans and then to other Obligations.

(c) If requested by Loan Parties in writing prior to or within fifteen (15) days after Agent’s receipt of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards relating to any loss or destruction of Equipment or other Collateral, Loan Parties may use such proceeds or awards to repair or replace such Equipment or other Collateral (and until so used, the proceeds shall be held by Agent as Cash Collateral) as long as (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) such repair or replacement is promptly undertaken and concluded, in accordance with plans reasonably satisfactory to Agent; (iii) replacement buildings are constructed on the sites of the original casualties and are of comparable size, quality and utility to the destroyed buildings; (iv) the repaired or replaced Property is free of Liens, other than Permitted Liens; (v) Loan Parties comply with disbursement procedures for such repair or replacement as Agent may reasonably require; and (vi) the aggregate amount of such proceeds or awards from any single casualty or condemnation does not exceed $2,000,000.

All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Loan Parties. Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Agent’s actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Loan Parties’ sole risk.

8.7.4 Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Borrower and Guarantor shall (and shall cause each other Loan Party to) at all times defend its title to Collateral and Agent’s Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands whatsoever, except Permitted Liens.

8.8 Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or a Loan Party’s name, but at the cost and expense of Loan Parties:

(a) Endorse a Loan Party’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into Agent’s possession or control; and

8.9 Pledge of Stock of Subsidiaries. On January 1 of each year, Agent shall have a pledge (or negative pledge in accordance with Section 10.1.10 hereof) of Capital Stock (not to exceed 65% of the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of any Subsidiary that is not formed in the United States ) of the direct or indirect Subsidiaries of HHG representing, in the aggregate, not less than eighty five (85%) percent of the consolidated revenues of HHG and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the twelve month period ending on December 31; provided, however, for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing, the pledge in favor of Agent of the Capital Stock of Hudson Highland (APAC) Pty Limited shall be deemed a pledge of each of its direct and indirect Subsidiaries in Australia and New Zealand so long as the shares and assets of such Subsidiaries are pledged to the financier of Hudson Global Resources (Aust) Pty Ltd and its direct or indirect Subsidiaries.

Each Loan Document is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles, and save as a Loan Document which is not a Jersey security agreement for the purpose of the Security Interests (Jersey) Law 1983 purports to be taking security in respect to Jersey situate intangible moveable assets.

To the extent perfection can be accomplished by (a) filing a UCC financing statement or (b) taking possession of the Collateral, and subject to compliance with registration obligations under the Companies Act 2006, all Liens of Agent in the Collateral are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens.

9.1.7 Accounts. Agent may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and representations made pursuant to the Loan Documents by Loan Parties with respect thereto. Loan Parties warrant that, to the best of its knowledge, each Account at the time it is shown as an Eligible Account in a Borrowing Base Certificate is in fact an Eligible Account.

Since May 31, 2010, there has been no change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of any Loan Party or Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No financial statement delivered to Agent or Lenders at any time contains any untrue statement of a material fact, nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make such statement not materially misleading.

There is no fact or circumstance since March 31, 2010 that any Loan Party has failed to disclose to Agent in writing that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.3 Amendment of Schedules. Administrative Borrower may amend any one or more of the Schedules to this Agreement (subject to prior notice to Agent) and any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein which refers to any such Schedule shall from and after the date of any such amendment refer to such Schedule as so amended and any Default or Event of Default that exists solely as a result of the failure to amend such Schedule shall from and after the date of any such amendment be waived automatically without further action by Agent or the Lenders; provided, however, that in no event shall the failure to make an immaterial amendment to any such Schedule constitute a Default or Event of Default and; provided further, no Default or Event of Default shall exist or have occurred by virtue of any changes disclosed on such Schedules if the disclosed items would not have resulted in a Default or Event of Default if disclosed on the Signing Date or Closing Date, as applicable.

SECTION 10. COVENANTS AND CONTINUING AGREEMENTS

10.1 Affirmative Covenants. Until Full Payment of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations not yet due), each Borrower and Guarantor shall (and shall cause each other Loan Party to), and, where specifically indicated below, shall cause each Subsidiary to:

(a) Permit Agent from time to time, subject (except when a Default or Event of Default exists) to reasonable notice and during normal business hours, to (i) visit and inspect the Properties of any Loan Party and, upon not less than 45 days notice, any Pledged Subsidiary or Negative Pledged Subsidiary, and (ii) inspect, audit and make extracts from any Loan Party’s, Pledged Subsidiary’s or Negative Pledged Subsidiary’s books and records (provided that, to the extent that the books and records of any Pledged Subsidiary or Negative Pledged Subsidiary are located at any location other than that of a Loan Party, Agent shall provide not less than 45 days notice prior to such inspection), and discuss with its officers, employees, agents, advisors and independent accountants such Loan Party’s, Pledged Subsidiary’s or Negative Pledged Subsidiary’s business, financial condition, assets, prospects and results of operations. Lenders may participate in any such visit or inspection, at their own expense. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to any Loan Party, Pledged Subsidiary or Negative Pledged Subsidiary to make any inspection, nor to share any results of any inspection, appraisal or report with any Loan Party, Pledged Subsidiary or Negative Pledged Subsidiary. To the extent any appraisal or other information is shared by Agent or a Lender with any Loan Party, Pledged Subsidiary or Negative Pledged Subsidiary, such Loan Party, Pledged Subsidiary or Negative Pledged Subsidiary acknowledges that it was prepared by Agent and Lenders for their purposes and no Loan Party, Pledged Subsidiary or Negative Pledged Subsidiary shall be entitled to rely upon it.

(b) Reimburse Agent for all reasonable charges, costs and expenses of Agent in connection with examinations of any Loan Party’s books and records or any other financial or Collateral matters as Agent deems appropriate, up to three (3) times per Loan Year; provided, however, such reimbursement shall be limited to two (2) times per Loan Year if and so long as (x) Borrowers have achieved a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of greater than 1.25:1.00 as of the end of the most recent Fiscal Quarter for the twelve months then ended and (y) average Excess Availability over the three month period prior to any date of determination as calculated by Agent is greater than 35% of the Borrowing Base; provided, however, that, if an examination is initiated during a Default or Event of Default, all reasonable charges, costs and expenses therefor shall be reimbursed by Loan Parties without regard to such limits. Subject to the foregoing, Loan Parties shall pay Agent’s then standard charges for each day that an employee of Agent or its Affiliates is engaged in any examination activities, and shall pay the standard charges of Agent’s internal appraisal group. This Section shall not be construed to limit Agent’s right to conduct examinations or to obtain appraisals at any time in its discretion, nor to use third parties for such purposes.

In addition, if any Event of Default exists, Agent may in its discretion (and shall upon written direction of Required Lenders) do any one or more of the following from time to time:

(a) declare any Obligations immediately due and payable, whereupon they shall be due and payable without diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Loan Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law;

(b) terminate, reduce or condition any Commitment, or make any adjustment to the Borrowing Base;

(c) require Loan Parties to Cash Collateralize LC Obligations, Bank Product Debt and other Obligations that are contingent or not yet due and payable, and, if Loan Parties fail promptly to deposit such Cash Collateral, Agent may (and shall upon the direction of Required Lenders) advance the required Cash Collateral as Revolving Loans (whether or not an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied); and

Such rights and remedies include the rights to (i) take possession of any Collateral; (ii) require Loan Parties to assemble Collateral, at Loan Parties’ expense, and make it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent; (iii) enter any premises where Collateral is located and store Collateral on such premises until sold (and if the premises are owned or leased by a Loan Party, Loan Parties agree not to charge for such storage); and (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in its then condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale, with such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk, at such locations, all as Agent, in its discretion, deems advisable. Each Loan Party agrees that ten (10) days notice of any proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral by Agent shall be reasonable.

Agent shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.

11.3 License. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and provided Agent has obtained any necessary consents of third parties), Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person), under the same quality control standards required under the license, any or all Intellectual Property of Loan Parties, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other Property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral if an Event of Default exists. Each Loan Party’s rights and interests under Intellectual Property shall inure to Agent’s benefit, except as would otherwise invalidate such Intellectual Property.

11.4 Setoff.

11.4.1 Setoff Generally. Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates are each authorized by Loan Parties at any time during an Event of Default, without notice to Loan Parties or any other Person, to set off and to appropriate and apply any deposits (general or special), funds, claims, obligations, liabilities or other Debt at any time held or owing by Agent, any Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the account of any Loan Party against any Obligations, whether or not demand for payment of such Obligation has been made, any Obligations have been declared due and payable, are then due, or are contingent or unmatured, or the Collateral or any guaranty or other security for the Obligations is adequate.

11.4.2 Setoff Under Jersey Law. For the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to any other rights that the Agent and/or Lenders may have, for the purposes of the Bankruptcy (Netting, Contractual Subordination and Non-Petition Provisions) (Jersey) Law 2005 (the “Netting Law”), this Agreement constitutes an “agreement” and this Section 11.4 is a “set-off provision” as defined in the Netting Law.

11.5 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver; Commercial Reasonableness.

11.5.1 Cumulative Rights. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not in derogation or substitution of each other. In particular, the rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and shall not be exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Agent and Lenders may have, whether under any agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise.

11.5.2 Waivers. The failure or delay of Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by Loan Parties with any terms of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise, shall not operate as a waiver thereof nor as establishment of a course of dealing. All rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. No modification of any terms of any Loan Documents (including any waiver thereof) shall be effective, unless such modification is specifically provided in a writing directed to Loan Parties and executed by Administrative Borrower, on behalf of Borrowers, and Agent or the requisite Lenders, and such modification shall be applicable only to the matter specified. No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default that may exist at such time, unless expressly stated. If Agent or any Lender accepts performance by any Loan Party under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein, or during any Default or Event of Default, or if Agent or any Lender shall delay or exercise any right or remedy under any Loan Documents, such acceptance, delay or exercise shall not operate to waive any Default or Event of Default nor to preclude exercise of any other right or remedy. It is expressly acknowledged by Loan Parties that any failure to satisfy a financial covenant on a measurement date shall not be cured or remedied by satisfaction of such covenant on a subsequent date.

11.5.3 Commercial Reasonableness. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent or any Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent or Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent or Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent or Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

SECTION 12. AGENT

12.1 Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent.

12.1.1 Appointment and Authority. Each Lender appoints and designates RBS as Agent hereunder (and for the avoidance of doubt, its agent and as security trustee for the Lenders). Agent may, and each Lender authorizes Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for Agent’s benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party or other Person; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) exercise all rights and remedies given to Agent with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender, Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto. Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts constitute Eligible Accounts, or whether to impose or release any Availability Reserve, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.

12.1.2 Duties. Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, nor be required to initiate or conduct any Enforcement Action except to the extent directed to do so by Required Lenders while an Event of Default exists. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty on Agent’s part to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

12.1.3 Agent Professionals. Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

12.1.4 Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.6 against all Claims that could be incurred by Agent in connection with any act. Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of all Lenders shall be required in the circumstances described in Section 15.1.1, and in no event shall Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct Agent to accelerate and demand payment of Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans, nor to terminate the Commitments of one Lender without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. In no event shall Agent be required to take any action that, in its reasonable opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

12.2 Agreements Regarding Collateral and Field Examination Reports.

12.2.1 Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Lenders authorize Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations, (b) that is the subject of an Asset Disposition which Loan Parties certify in writing to Agent is a Permitted Asset Disposition (or permitted under Section 10.2.7) or a Lien which Loan Parties certify is a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry), (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral, (d) in connection with the release of any Guarantor pursuant to the terms hereof, or (e) in all other cases but subject to 15.1.1(d), with the written consent of Required Lenders. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lenders to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by a Loan Party, or is cared for, protected, insured or encumbered, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

12.2.2 Possession of Collateral. Agent and Lenders appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens (for the benefit of Secured Parties) in any Collateral that, under the UCC or other Applicable Law, can be perfected by possession. If any Lender obtains possession of any such Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

12.2.3 Reports. Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to each Lender copies of the results of any field audit or other examination or any appraisal prepared by or on behalf of Agent with respect to any Loan Party or Collateral (“Report”). Each Lender agrees (a) that neither RBS nor Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon Loan Parties’ books and records as well as upon representations of Loan Parties’ officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as any Claims arising in connection with any third parties that obtain all or any part of a Report through such Lender.

12.3 Reliance By Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent Professionals.

12.4 Action Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender or a Loan Party specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate its Obligations, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of proofs of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding.

12.5 Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.1, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Agent, Issuing Bank and the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.1, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

12.6 Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees.

12.6.1 Indemnification. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY LOAN PARTIES (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF LOAN PARTIES UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE. If Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference from a Loan Party or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Agent by Lenders to the extent of each Lender’s Pro Rata share.

12.6.2 Proceedings. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time (whether prior to or after the Commitment Termination Date) any proceeding is brought against any Agent Indemnitees by a Loan Party, or any Person claiming through a Loan Party, to recover damages for any act taken or omitted by Agent in connection with any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or matters relating thereto, or otherwise to obtain any other relief of any kind on account of any transaction relating to any Loan Documents, each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees with respect thereto and to pay to Agent Indemnitees such Lender’s Pro Rata share of any amount that any Agent Indemnitee is required to pay under any judgment or other order entered in such proceeding or by reason of any settlement, including all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending same. In Agent’s discretion, Agent may reserve for any such proceeding, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distributions of Collateral proceeds to Lenders.

12.7 Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall not be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Loan Party or Lender of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Agent does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or Loan Party. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Lenders for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Loan Party of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

12.8 Successor Agent and Co-Agents.

12.8.1 Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days written notice thereof to Lenders and Administrative Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof, has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and (provided no Default or Event of Default exists) is reasonably acceptable to Administrative Borrower. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, then Agent may appoint a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6 and 15.2. Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Agent. Any successor by merger or acquisition of the stock or assets of RBS shall continue to be Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

12.8.2 Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or security trustee or co-collateral agent or security trustee, and shall provide Administrative Borrower with notice of same. If Agent so appoints a collateral agent or security trustee or co-collateral agent or security trustee, each right and remedy intended to be available to Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent and security trustee. Every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such agent and security trustee shall run to and be enforceable by it as well as Agent. Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents as Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent and security trustee. If any collateral agent or security trustee or co-collateral agent or security trustee shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent or security trustee, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until appointment of a new agent. or security trustee.

12.8.3 Agent as UK Security Trustee.

Any obligations of the Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) in this Agreement shall be obligations of the Agent in its capacity as the security trustee to the extent that the obligations relate to the UK Security Documents or the security thereby created. Additionally, in its capacity as the security trustee, the Agent (or any other Person acting in such capacity) shall have (i) all the rights, remedies and benefits in favor of the Agent contained in the provisions of the whole of this Section 12 and (ii) all the rights, remedies and powers granted to it and be subject to all the obligations and duties owed by it under the UK Security Documents governed by English law or Jersey Law and/or any of the other Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender hereby appoints the Agent and the Agent agrees to act as trustee under and in relation to UK Security Documents and to hold the assets subject to the security thereby created as trustee for the Lenders on the trusts and other terms contained in UK Security Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to it by the terms of UK Security Documents together with all such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(c) Any reference in this Agreement to Liens stated to be in favor of the Agent shall be construed so as to include a reference to Liens granted in favor of the Agent in its capacity as the security trustee.

(d) Nothing in this Section 12 shall require the Agent to act as a trustee at common law or to be holding any property on trust, in any jurisdiction outside the United States or the United Kingdom which may not operate under principles of trust or where such trust would not be recognized or its effects would not be enforceable.

100

12.9 Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Lender has made such inquiries concerning the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Loan Party as such Lender feels necessary. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that the other Lenders and Agent have made no representations or warranties concerning any Loan Party, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Lender will, independently and without reliance upon the other Lenders or Agent, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Loan Party or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Loan Party (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent or any of Agent’s Affiliates.

12.10 Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event that any Lender (a) fails to fund its Pro Rata share of any Loan or LC Obligation hereunder, and such failure is not cured within two (2) Business Days, (b) defaults in performing any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (c) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, Agent may, by notice to such Lender within one hundred twenty (120) days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s) specified by Agent, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptance(s) and within fifteen (15) days after Agent’s notice. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute same. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge and, solely with respect to a Lender described in clause (a) above, excluding any breakage fees).

12.11 Remittance of Payments and Collections.

12.11.1 Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Agent and request for payment is made by Agent by 12:00 noon New York City time on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such day, and if request is made after 12:00 noon New York City time, then payment shall be made by Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the next Business Day. Payment by Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such Lender under the Loan Documents.

12.11.2 Failure to Pay. If any Lender fails to pay any amount when due by it to Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Loan Parties be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Lender to Agent.

12.11.3 Recovery of Payments. If Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from each Lender that received it. If Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, Lenders shall pay to Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.12 Agent in its Individual Capacity. As a Lender, RBS shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar term shall include RBS in its capacity as a Lender. Each of RBS and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Loan Party and their Affiliates, as if RBS were any other bank, without any duty to account therefor (including any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the other Lenders. In their individual capacity, RBS and its Affiliates may receive information regarding Loan Party, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Lender agrees that RBS and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to Lenders, if acquired in such individual capacity and not as Agent hereunder.

12.13 Agent Titles. Each Lender, other than RBS, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by RBS as an “Agent” or “Arranger” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

12.14 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 up to and including 12.14 is an agreement solely among Lenders and Agent, and does not confer any obligations, duties, rights or benefits upon Loan Parties or any other Person. As between Loan Parties and Agent, any action that Agent may take under any Loan Documents shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Lenders as herein provided.

102

12.15 Parallel Debt Provisions (Dutch Law).

12.15.1 Parallel Debt. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Agent as a separate and independent obligation an amount equal to the total amount owed from time to time by such Loan Party to any Secured Party in respect of its Principal Obligations as they may exist from time to time. The payment undertaking of each Loan Party to the Agent under this Section 12.15.1 is hereinafter referred to as a "Parallel Debt". Each Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency or currencies of the relevant Principal Obligations.

12.15.2 Parallel Debt as Independent Payment Obligation. For the avoidance of doubt it is confirmed that Section 12.15.1 means that each Parallel Debt constitutes a payment obligation of the relevant Loan Party to the Agent which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, its Principal Obligations and shall become due and payable to the Agent as soon as, and to the extent that, any amount owed by such Loan Party to the relevant Secured Party under its Principal Obligations becomes due and payable.

12.15.3 Acknowledgment of Parallel Debt Obligation. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that each Parallel Debt represents the Agent’s own claim to receive payment of such Parallel Debt from the relevant Loan Party and that the amount which may become due and payable by a Loan Party under its Parallel Debt pursuant to this Section 12.15 shall never exceed the total amount which becomes due and payable by such Loan Party to the Secured Parties under its Principal Obligations.

12.15.4 Reductions to Parallel Debt Obligations. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 12.15:

(a) any amount due and payable by a Loan Party under its Parallel Debt shall, to the extent such Loan Party shall have paid any amounts to any Secured Party under its Principal Obligations or any Secured Party otherwise receives any amount in payment of such Principal Obligations (other than by virtue of Section 12.15.6), be decreased by equivalent amounts as if such amounts were received directly in payment of such Parallel Debt on the date of receipt by the relevant Secured Party of such amount in payment of such Principal Obligations; and

(b) to the extent that any Loan Party shall have paid any amounts to the Agent under its Parallel Debt or the Agent shall have otherwise received monies in payment of such Parallel Debt, the Principal Obligations of such Loan Party to the relevant Secured Party shall be decreased by equivalent amounts as if such amounts were received directly in payment of such Principal Obligations on the date of receipt by the Agent of such amount in payment of such Parallel Debt.

12.15.5 Role of Agent. For the purpose of this Section 12.15 the Agent acts in its own name and on behalf of itself but for the benefit of the Secured Parties and any security right granted to the Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Agent in its capacity of sole creditor of the Parallel Debt.

103

12.15.6 Payments Received. All payments received by the Agent shall be applied towards payment of the relevant Parallel Debt, whereupon the Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Secured Parties who are creditors in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 13. BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

13.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except, that, (a) no Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents, and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

13.2 Participations.

13.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Loan Parties shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Loan Parties and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless Administrative Borrower agrees otherwise in writing.

13.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Commitment Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Loan Party or substantial portion of the Collateral.

13.2.3 Benefit of Set-Off. Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.

104

13.3 Assignments.

13.3.1 Permitted Assignments. A Lender may assign to any Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender be at least $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) counterparties to swap agreements relating to any Loans; provided, however, that, any payment by Loan Parties to the assigning Lender in respect of any Obligations assigned as described in this sentence shall satisfy such Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder to the extent of such payment, and no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

13.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of an assignment notice in the form of Exhibit D and a processing fee of $5,000, such assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3. From the effective date of such assignment, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new Notes, as appropriate.

13.4 Tax Treatment. If any interest in a Loan Document is transferred to a Transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or district thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 5.10.

13.5 Representation of Lenders. Each Lender represents and warrants to each Loan Party, Agent and other Lenders that none of the consideration used by it to fund its Loans or to participate in any other transactions under this Agreement constitutes for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code assets of any “plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and the interests of such Lender in and under the Loan Documents shall not constitute plan assets under ERISA.

13.6 Securitization. Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that any or all of the Lenders and their Affiliates may, from time to time, sell, pledge or otherwise securitize all or any part of the Loans (each, a “Securitization”), through the pledge of Loans as collateral security for loans to any such Lender or its Affiliates, or through the direct sale of Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in Loans, which loans to any Lender or its Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). Loan Parties agree to cooperate with each of the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect each such Securitization, including, without limitation, by: (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as shall be reasonably requested by any Lender in connection with any such Securitization; provided, that, (i) any such amendment or additional documentation shall not impose material additional costs on Loan Parties, and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation shall not materially and adversely affect the rights, or materially increase the obligations, of Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, or change or affect in a manner adverse to Loan Parties the financial terms of the Loans; (b) providing such financial and other information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or any such Securitization; and (c) providing in connection with any rating of the Loans a certificate (i) agreeing to indemnify the Lenders and their Affiliates, the Rating Agencies and each party providing credit support or otherwise participating in such Securitization (each, a “Securitization Party”) for any and all losses, claims, damages and/or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Securitization Party may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender in connection with any Loan Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by any Lender or their successors or assigns of any Loans, and (ii) agreeing to reimburse each Lender and its Affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Liabilities.

105

13.7 Pricing and Structural Changes Required for Syndication. If requested, the Loan Parties agree to assist Agent in the syndication of the Revolving Loans, including, without limitation, participating in the preparation of a syndication memorandum and Lender presentation and assistance with Lender follow-up requests for information.

SECTION 14. GUARANTY.

14.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, the due and punctual performance of all Obligations. Each payment made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.

14.2 Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice under this Section 14, (b) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and any other notice under this Section 14, (c) any requirement that Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, or any Person or any Collateral, (d) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such Guarantor of the Obligations, and (e) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Loan Party or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than Full Payment of the Obligations by Loan Parties and any defense that any other guarantee or security was or was to be obtained by Agent.

106

14.2.1 Jersey Law Waivers. Without limiting the generality of Section 5.11.2 hereof, each Guarantor hereby, irrevocably and unconditionally, waives and abandons any right which it may have under the existing or future laws of Jersey (whether by virtue of the droit de discussion or division or otherwise) to require that any of the Lenders or the Agent:

(a) before enforcing this Agreement, takes any action, exercises any recourse or seeks a declaration of bankruptcy (where “bankrupt” and “bankruptcy” include any state of bankruptcy, insolvent winding up, receivership, administrative receivership or similar status under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction) against any Loan Party or any other Person, makes any claim in a bankruptcy, liquidation, administration or insolvency of any Loan Party or any other Person or enforces or seeks to enforce any other right, claim, remedy or recourse against any Loan Party or any other Person or any of their assets;

(b) in order to preserve any of its rights against a Guarantor or any other Person, joins a Guarantor or any other Person as a party to any proceedings against any Loan Party or any other Person or takes any other procedural steps; or

Each Guarantor will hold in trust for and immediately pay or transfer to the Agent any payment or distribution or benefit of security received by it contrary to this Section 14.2.1 or in accordance with directions given to it by the Agent.

14.3 No Defense. No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder.

14.4 Guaranty of Payment. The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the other Loan Parties, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Section 14, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or other Persons or whether any other Loan Party or other Persons are joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent or any Lender in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Agent has expressed any such right in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Agent against any Loan Party under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness of any Loan Party to Agent shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Agent receives actual payment on account of Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any Guarantor in respect of any Loan Party.

107

14.5 Liabilities Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any other Obligation or otherwise (other than Full Payment of the Obligations, subject to Section 14.8 hereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by (other than Full Payment of the Obligations, subject to Section 14.8 hereof):

(a) any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any Loan Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to Borrowers, including (without limitation) pursuant to Section 2.1.7 of this Agreement, or otherwise;

(b) any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations;

(c) the failure of Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any Loan Document or instrument executed an delivered in connection herewith or therewith;

(d) any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Loan Party to creditors of any Loan Party other than any other Loan Party;

(e) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Loan Party; and

(f) any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranty hereunder and/or the obligations of any Guarantor, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Loan Party or any other Person or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Advances, Letters of Credit or other financial accommodations to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents.

108

14.6 Waiver of Notice. Agent shall have the right to do any of the above without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor and each Guarantor expressly waives any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any of the above or any other present or future event relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of the above and waives any defenses of such Guarantor which might arise as a result of such actions.

14.7 Agent’s Discretion. Agent may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid.

14.8 Reinstatement.

(a) The Guaranty provisions herein contained shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and Agent or such Lender repays all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by Agent or such Lender with any such claimant (including any Loan Party); and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Agent and/or Lenders for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Agent or such Lenders.

(b) Agent shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of Obligations.

(c) No Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Agent from any Person for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Agent, or assert any claim for any liability of any Loan Party to any Guarantor in priority to or equally with claims of Agent for Obligations, and no Guarantor shall be entitled to compete with Agent with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Agent for Obligations.

(d) If any Loan Party makes any payment to Agent, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Guarantor hereunder.

109

(e) All present and future monies payable by any Loan Party to any Guarantor, whether arising out of a right of subrogation or otherwise, are assigned to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of Lenders as security for such Guarantor’s liability to Agent and Lenders hereunder and are postponed and subordinated to Agent’s prior right to Full Payment of Obligations. Except to the extent prohibited otherwise by this Agreement, all monies received by any Guarantor from any Loan Party shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and trustee for Agent. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate upon the Full Payment of the Obligations and this Agreement is irrevocably terminated.

14.9 Action Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may and upon written request of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to or demand upon any Loan Party or any other Person, declare any Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the Obligations of each Guarantor. Upon such declaration by Agent, Agent and Lenders are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisions or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Agent or Lenders to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations of each Guarantor now or hereafter existing hereunder, whether or not Agent or Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder against any other Loan Party and although such Obligations may be contingent and unmatured. The rights of Agent and Lenders hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Agent and Lenders may have. Upon such declaration by Agent, with respect to any claims of any Guarantor against any Loan Party (the “Designated Claims”), Agent shall have the full right on the part of Agent in its own name or in the name of such Guarantor to collect and enforce such Designated Claims by legal action, proof of debt in bankruptcy or other liquidation proceedings, vote in any proceeding for the arrangement of debts at any time proposed, or otherwise, Agent and each of its officers being hereby irrevocably constituted attorneys-in-fact for each Guarantor for the purpose of such enforcement and for the purpose of endorsing in the name of each Guarantor any instrument for the payment of money. Each Guarantor will receive as trustee for Agent and will pay to Agent forthwith upon receipt thereof any amounts which such Guarantor may receive from any Loan Party on account of the Designated Claims, except as permitted hereunder. Each Guarantor agrees that at no time hereafter will any of the Designated Claims be represented by any notes, other negotiable instruments or writings, except and in such event they shall either be made payable to Agent, or if payable to any Guarantor, shall forthwith be endorsed by such Guarantor to Agent. Each Guarantor agrees that no payment on account of the Designated Claims or any security interest therein shall be created, received, accepted or retained during the continuance of any Event of Default nor shall any financing statement be filed with respect thereto by any Guarantor.

14.10 Statute of Limitations. Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and whether by any Loan Party or others (including any Lenders) with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of any Guarantor against Agent or Lenders shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

110

14.11 Interest. All amounts due, owing and unpaid from time to time by any Guarantor under this Section 14 shall bear interest at the interest rate per annum then chargeable with respect to Base Rate Loans constituting Revolving Loans.

14.12 Guarantor’s Investigation. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor has made an independent investigation of Loan Parties and of the financial condition of Loan Parties. Neither Agent nor any Lender has made, and Agent and Lenders do not hereby make, any representations or warranties as to the income, expense, operation, finances or any other matter or thing affecting any Loan Party nor has Agent or any Lender made any representations or warranties as to the amount or nature of the Obligations of any Loan Party to which this Section 14 applies as specifically herein set forth, nor has Agent or any Lender or any officer, agent or employee of Agent or any Lender or any representative thereof, made any other oral representations, agreements or commitments of any kind or nature, and each Guarantor hereby expressly acknowledges that no such representations or warranties have been made and such Guarantor expressly disclaims reliance on any such representations or warranties.

14.13 Termination. The provisions of this Section 14 shall remain in effect until Full Payment of all Obligations and irrevocable termination of the Commitments.

SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Consents, Amendments and Waivers.

15.1.1 Amendment. No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Agent, with Agent’s receipt of the consent from Required Lenders, and each Loan Party party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that:

(a) without the prior written consent of Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of Agent;

(b) without the prior written consent of Issuing Bank, no modification shall be effective with respect to any LC Obligations or Section 2.3;

(c) without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, no modification shall be effective that would (i) increase the Commitment of such Lender; or (ii) reduce the amount of, or waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender; and

(d) without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except a Defaulting Lender), no modification shall be effective that would (i) extend the Revolving Commitment Termination Date; (ii) alter Section 5.6, 7.1 (except to add Collateral), or 15.1.1; (iii) amend the definitions of Borrowing Base (and the defined terms used in such definition), Pro Rata or Required Lenders; (iv) increase any advance rate, decrease the Availability Block, or increase total Commitments; (v) release Collateral with a book value greater than $10,000,000 during any calendar year, except as currently contemplated by the Loan Documents; or (vi) except as contemplated herein, release any Loan Party from liability for any Obligations, if such Loan Party is Solvent at the time of the release.

111

15.1.2 Limitations. The agreement of Loan Parties shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Agent and/or Issuing Bank as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement, and no Affiliate of a Lender that is party to a Bank Product agreement shall have any other right to consent to or participate in any manner in modification of any other Loan Document. The making of any Loans during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default, nor to establish a course of dealing. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

15.1.3 Payment for Consents. No Loan Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent prior to a specified date and time.

15.2 Indemnity. EACH LOAN PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any Loan Party have any obligation hereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

15.3 Notices and Communications.

Subject to Section 4.1.4, all notices, requests and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Loan Party, at Administrative Borrower’s address shown above, and to any other Person at its address shown above (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Signing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 15.3.1. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged; or (d) if given by electronic transmission, when transmitted to the applicable e-mail address, if confirmation of receipt is received. Any written notice, request or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed received by all Loan Parties.

113

15.3.2 Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Except as otherwise provided herein, electronic mail (which may include links to internet websites for purposes of downloading or accessing materials referenced in such electronic mail) and internet websites may be used only for routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by Section 10.1.2 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, delivery of certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission), administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents for execution, and matters permitted under Section 4.1.4. Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Electronic and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

15.3.3 Non-Conforming Communications. Agent and Lenders may, in good faith, rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party even if such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Loan Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Loan Party, other than any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

15.4 Performance of Loan Parties’ Obligations. Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Loan Parties’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Loan Party under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or, after an Event of Default, realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Agent by Loan Parties, promptly on demand (but in any event not later than the next Business Day), promptly upon receipt of a written invoice setting forth such amount in reasonable detail with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

15.5 Credit Inquiries. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent and Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Loan Party or Subsidiary.

15.6 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

114

15.7 Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise specifically provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

15.8 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by facsimile, and they shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals. Agent may require confirmation by a manually-signed original, but failure to request or deliver same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile signature.

15.9 Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents embody the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior understandings regarding the same subject matter.

15.10 Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled, to the extent not otherwise restricted hereunder, to protect and enforce its rights arising out of the Loan Documents. It shall not be necessary for Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Agent or Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute Agent and Lenders to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Loan Party. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that in connection with all aspects of any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, Loan Parties, Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders have an arms-length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender, and each Loan Party, Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship.

15.11 Confidentiality. During the term of this Agreement and for two (2) years thereafter, Agent and Lenders agree to take reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any information that Loan Parties deliver to Agent and Lenders; except, that, Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (a) to their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents, including legal counsel, auditors and other professional advisors; (b) to any Loan Party, Subsidiary, Lender, Transferee or any of their respective Affiliates from time to time to the extent deemed necessary by Agent or such Lender in its Permitted Discretion for or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (c) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency; (d) upon the request of any Governmental Authority exercising regulatory authority over Agent or such Lender; (e) which ceases to be confidential, other than by an act or omission of Agent or any Lender, or which becomes available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis; (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation relating to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby, or otherwise as required by Applicable Law; (g) to the extent reasonably required for the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents; (h) to any actual or proposed party to a Bank Product or to any Transferee, as long as such Person agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section; (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender; (j) to any investor or potential investor in an Approved Fund that is a Lender or Transferee, but solely for use by such investor to evaluate an investment in such Approved Fund, or to any manager, servicer or other Person in connection with its administration of any such Approved Fund; or (k) with the consent of Loan Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may issue and disseminate to the public general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Loan Parties and a general description of Loan Parties’ businesses, and may use Loan Parties’ names in advertising and other promotional materials.

115

15.12 Reserved.

15.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OR OTHER RULE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

15.14 Consent to Forum.

15.14.1 Forum. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any other court. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

15.14.2 Reserved.

15.15 Waivers by Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which Agent and each Lender hereby also waives) in any proceeding, claim or counterclaim of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which a Loan Party may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Agent may do in this regard; (c) except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against Agent or any Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Agent and Lenders entering into this Agreement and that Agent and Lenders are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Loan Parties. Each Loan Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

116

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

15.17 UK Law. Any references in this Agreement or in any Other Agreement to specific statutes or to governmental agencies of the United States of America, shall be, when applied to UK Borrower or HGRJ, as applicable, deemed to refer to the applicable provisions or governmental agencies of the United Kingdom or the laws of England and Wales, or to governmental agencies of the Island of Jersey or the laws thereof, as appropriate.

15.18 NO ORAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

15.19 Closing and Funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the terms and conditions (including without limitation any representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements) of this Agreement (other than this Section 15.19) and each other Loan Document shall not be effective against any party thereto unless and until the conditions set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied (including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Section 6.1.13).

Dear Mark,

Re: Receivables Finance Facility

We are pleased to advise that the Commonwealth Bank of Australia ABN 48 123 123 124 (the “Bank”) has approved your Receivables Finance facility. This offer is conditional upon payment of any Establishment Fee detailed below, and meeting the conditions listed in Attachment ‘A’. Should the Bank, for any reason, decide not to proceed with this offer, the Establishment Fee will be refunded to you.

We enclose a copy of the Bank’s Receivables Finance Agreement, which sets out the terms and conditions applying to the facility. Notwithstanding the terms of the Receivables Finance Agreement, to the maximum extent possible, the terms of this offer letter prevail where there is any conflict or inconsistency between the effect or scope of any provision of the Receivables Finance Agreement and this offer letter. Please take the time to read this document carefully; we recommend that you obtain your own legal and financial advice in relation to the Agreement.

Facility:	Invoice Discounting (Non Disclosed)

Limit:	$15,000,000 or Client Availability, whichever is the lesser.

Discount Rate:	Bill Rate plus a margin of 1.60%.

	"Bill Rate" means, at the relevant time, the rate percent per year (expressed as a yield to maturity and rounded upwards if necessary to 4 decimal places) being:

	(1)	the average bid rate for bills of exchange ("Bills") having the closest term to 30 days displayed on Reuters screen page BBSY (or its replacement page) at around 10.15am (Sydney time) on the first Business Day of that period; or

	(2)	if that screen rate is not displayed by 10.30am (Sydney time) on that day, or there is an obvious error in that rate or the Bank determines, acting reasonably, that the basis on which that rate is determined ceases to reflect the calculation of the Bank's cost of funding as compared to at the date of this document:

	(2.1)	the average of the buying rates quoted to the Bank by at least three Australian banks selected by it at or around that time on that day for Bills accepted by a leading Australian bank having the closest term to 30 days; or

	(2.2)	if there are not at least three such buying rates quoted, the rate set on that day by the Bank in good faith for the relevant period having regard, to the extent possible, to comparable indices then available in current markets as to the rate otherwise bid and offered for Bills with a 30 days term.

Fees:	Establishment Fee of $30,000

	Line Fee will be 0.90% of the facility limit per annum, charged monthly in advance.

Information Sheet

Withdrawal of approval

The Bank may withdraw its approval of a facility:

·	for a variable rate facility, if the Bank does not receive the Acceptance Document and attached documents, including the Terms Schedule for the facility signed or executed by the Borrower within two calendar months of the date of the approval letter which enclosed this information sheet; or

·	for a fixed rate facility (other than a BetterBusiness Loan - Fixed Rate Residentially Secured), if:

the Bank does not receive the Borrower’s signed or executed Acceptance Document and attached documents, including the completed Letter of Authority and the Initial Terms Schedule signed or executed by the Borrower within one calendar month of the date of the approval letter which enclosed this information sheet, or

the person approved by the Borrower under the Letter of Authority does not agree with the Bank the particulars to be included at Items 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Fixed Rate Terms Schedule within one calendar month of the date the Bank receives the Acceptance Document signed or executed by the Borrower.

Although under no obligation to do so, the Bank may decide not to withdraw its approval subject to:

Other fees

Please refer to the approval letter and the Fees and Charges Schedule for Commercial Lending Facilities for details of other Bank fees and non Bank fees applicable. Under the Terms and Conditions for Commercial Lending Facilities (the Terms and Conditions), the Bank is entitled to vary the amount of any fee and to impose any new fee.

The following additional points are also important to note:

Loan Interest Rates and Bill Rates - Fixed Rate Facilities

The Bank makes no prediction, representation or statement of opinion as to movements in rates or as to the benefits of fixed or variable rate finance.

However, further information on rates and market conditions is available from the Bank's Treasury Services dealing centres. We will be happy to provide you with a contact name and telephone number if required.

Variable Rate Option:

If the term of a fixed rate facility specified in Item 3 of the Terms Schedule for that Facility exceeds the fixed rate period in Item 8 of the Terms Schedule, at the end of that period or any subsequent fixed rate period you have the option to change the Loan interest rate or Bill Rate to a variable interest rate or variable Bill Rate or to continue with a fixed rate for a further period, at the then current fixed rate offered for the further period.

If you fail to exercise an option, you will be taken to have chosen to change the interest rate or Bill Rate on the Facility to a variable rate.

Property-Inspection/Valuation

The inspection or valuation of the Security Property, the titles to it and any other legal requirements connected with a Facility must be to the Bank's satisfaction before the Bank is under any obligation to make the Facility available. Any expenses incurred by the Bank in these investigations must be paid by the Borrower whether or not the Facility is granted.

Business Facility Documentation dated 08 July 2010

Page 18

Insurance

Insurance is to be for the full replacement value of the asset and assigned to the Bank as mortgagee. Policy (ies) is/are to be issued by an insurer acceptable to the Bank and a copy of each delivered to the Bank if requested. Item 14 of the Terms Schedule details any specific insurance requirements of the Bank (in addition to general requirements under the mortgage over the security).

Financial Disclosure

A copy of the financial statements for the most recent financial year is to be provided once each year within one hundred and twenty days (120) of the close of a financial year, or more often if required by the Bank. The Bank may also require additional information as set out at Clause 15.2 of the Terms and Conditions.

General

We emphasise that the loan funds will not be released until security documentation has been completed.

If you believe that any representation(s), relevant to your acceptance of the offer in the approval letter and supporting documentation has been made to you that is not contained in the Terms and Conditions or the Terms Schedules, please let us have your written details in order that the matter may be clarified.

Code of Banking Practice

If you are an individual or small business, relevant provisions of the Code of Banking Practice will apply to these facilities. A copy of the code is available from the Bank upon request.

If the Borrower is a company, the documents have been prepared for execution under hand. No seal is required.

The covenants include the Borrower's ongoing compliance with certain key financial performance and balance sheet ratio requirements or both. The Borrower must satisfy itself as to the reasonableness of these covenants. Any breach of the covenants is a default under the terms and conditions of the facilities.

The general undertakings include the ongoing provision to the Bank by the Borrower of certain financial and other information on a periodical basis. This information will consist of a Compliance Certificate, which contains a summary of certain financial information, and the Borrower's internal management accounts.
