In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, management considers whether some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred income tax assets are deductible, management believes that the Group will realize the benefits of those deductible differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.

The deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities recoverable within and after 12 months are as follows:

Allocation of Tax Benefits. In the event that any member of the consolidated group shall incur net federal income tax losses or net federal income tax credits which shall result in a net tax benefit (or tax savings) to the consolidated group as a whole, the respective member producing such net tax benefit shall receive such net tax benefit. In the event that more than one member of the consolidated group shall produce net federal income tax losses or net federal income tax credits which shall result in net tax benefits to the consolidated group as a whole, the respective members producing such net tax benefit shall receive such net tax benefit proportionately (i.e., each such member shall receive net tax benefits in the same proportion as such member’s net federal income tax losses relate

Disclosed Matters. Since the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent to release or subordinate any Lien on any Collateral # upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by the Loan Parties of all of the Obligations, # constituting property being sold or disposed of if a

Administrative Agent may, at its option, from time to time, at any time on or after an Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing or upon any other failure of a condition precedent to the Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations hereunder, make such disbursements and advances (“Special Administrative Agent Advances”) which Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, # deems necessary or desirable either to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof or # to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by Borrowers and Guarantors of the Loans and other Obligations, provided, that, the aggregate principal amount of the Special Administrative Agent Advances pursuant to [clauses (i) and (ii) above], plus the then outstanding principal amount of the additional Loans and Letter of Credit Accommodations which Administrative Agent may make or provide as set forth in [Section 12.8] hereof, shall not exceed the aggregate amount of $75,000,000 or # to pay any

Labor Matters. There are no strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages, or controversies pending or, to the knowledge of either Borrower, threatened against either Borrower or any of its respective Restricted Subsidiaries which could have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

Labor Matters. As of the Closing Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against ESI or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of ESI, threatened. Except as provided on [Schedule 6.22], the hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrowers and the Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, except for such violations that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from ESI or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or for which any claim may be made against ESI or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of ESI or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, except for such failures that could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which ESI or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is bound.

Regulatory Matters. The Company’s obligations under this Agreement are subject to the orders, rules and regulations of the federal and state banking regulators as may be in effect from time to time, including without limitation FDIC regulations governing “golden parachute payments” set forth at 12 CFR Part 359. If the Company is prevented from discharging its obligations hereunder as a result of any such orders, rules or regulations, the Company shall be released from its obligations and shall not be deemed to have breached this Agreement, to that extent. The Company shall have no obligation to petition the FDIC (and/or other regulatory agency having jurisdiction over the Company) for permission to treat any payments as “permissible golden parachute payments.”

. Without limiting the provisions of [Section 9.09], the [[Loan Parties:Organization]] and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required [[Loan Parties:Organization]] will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this [Section 9.10]. The Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this [Section 9.10].
