The terms and conditions of the LC Credit Extensions are set forth in Section 2.04. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Conduit Lender may in its sole discretion, and each Committed Lender shall, only if each Conduit Lender in its Lender Group elects not to (and has notified the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the related Facility Agent) or there is no Conduit Lender in a Lender Group, make such Lender Group’s share of the Loans to the Borrower in an amount, for each Lender Group, equal to its Lender Group Percentage of the amount requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02; provided that no Lender shall make any such Loan if:

• Loan Facility Upon a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02, and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Lenders shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, severally and not jointly, make Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date. Under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated to make any such Loan if, after giving effect to such Loan:

• Term Loan Facility Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make Loans to the Borrower during the period from the Closing Date to June 12, 2009, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Commitment. The Borrower from time to time may borrow under the Term Loan Facility (and may reborrow any amount theretofore prepaid) until close of business on June 12, 2009, for a term not to exceed 364 days from the date of the Borrowing. Each such loan under the Term Loan Facility (a “Term Loan”) shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 and shall become due and payable on the last day of the term selected by the Borrower for such Term Loan (the “Term Loan Maturity Date”), which shall in no event be later than 364 days from the date of such Term Loan. The maximum availability under the Term Loan Facility shall be the amount of the Credit minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and Term Loans made by the Lenders; provided, however, that to the extent the proceeds of a Term Loan are used to repay an outstanding Revolving Loan (or a portion thereof), such Revolving Loan (or portion thereof) shall not be considered part of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by the Lenders for purposes of this sentence (such maximum availability hereafter being referred to as the “Term Loan Availability”). Under no circumstances shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans and Revolving Loans made by the Lenders exceed the Credit, and under no circumstances shall any Lender be obligated (i) to make any Term Loan (nor may the Borrower reborrow any amount heretofore prepaid) after June 12, 2009, or (ii) to make any Term Loan in excess of the Term Loan Availability. Each Term Loan made hereunder shall fully and finally mature and be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date specified in the Borrowing Advice for such Term Loan; provided, however, that to the extent the Borrowing Advice for any Term Loan selects an Interest Period that expires before the Term Loan Maturity Date specified in such Borrowing Advice, the Borrower may from time to time select additional interest rate options and Interest Periods (none of which shall extend beyond the Term Loan Maturity Date for such Term Loan) by delivering a Borrowing Advice or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as applicable.

• Revolving Loan Facility On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to advance to the Borrower from time to time during the period beginning on the Effective Date up to, but not including the Termination Date, such loans in Dollars as the Borrower may request under this Section 2.01(b) (individually, a “Revolving Loan”); provided, however, that (i) the sum of (A) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans made by such Lender at any time outstanding and (B) such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations and all Swing Line Loans at any time outstanding shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment at such time and (ii) the sum of (A) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans made by all of the Revolving Lenders at any time outstanding and (B) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans at any time outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Facility at such time. All Revolving Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Proportionate Shares, with each Revolving Loan Borrowing to be comprised of a Revolving Loan by each Revolving Lender equal to such Lender’s Revolving Proportionate Share of such Revolving Loan Borrowing. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans until the Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Loan Facility.

• Letter of Credit Facility Subject to the terms hereof, Issuing Lender will, from time to time and for its own account and not on behalf of the Lenders, upon request by Borrower, issue one or more Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower, provided that (i) the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit (including the amount of the requested Letter of Credit but exclusive of the SBID Letter of Credit) does not exceed $500,000, and (ii) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date no later than one year from issuance or the Maturity Date. If the requested Letter of Credit will be an extension of the SBID Letter of Credit, such SBID Letter of Credit shall not be in an amount greater than the lesser of (i) $1,105,743.00 or (ii) the Borrowing Base minus the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans. As an additional condition to the issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower shall execute and deliver Issuing Lender's customary Letter of Credit application and shall pay to Issuing Lender for its account only a Letter of Credit fee, payable quarterly in advance, beginning with the date of issuance and each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 thereafter, in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $500.00 or (ii) one and one-quarter percent (1.25%) per annum (pro-rated for periods of less than one year) of the unfunded face amount thereof. Such Letter of Credit shall be issued in form satisfactory to Issuing Lender. The amount, if any, from time to time drawn by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed and paid by Borrower to Issuing Lender ON DEMAND, or, at Issuing Lender's option, charged as a Revolving Loan to Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.1(a), whether or not Borrower would then be entitled to an Advance for such amount pursuant to SECTION 2.1(a); Lenders are authorized to make any such Loan on the request of Issuing Lender; provided, however, if such Loan would cause the aggregate amount of the Loans then outstanding (including the Loan to be made with respect to the reimbursement of the Letter of Credit) to exceed the Borrowing Base, the amount of such Loan equal to such excess shall be made solely by the Lender who is also the Issuing Lender. The reimbursement obligations and all other obligations of Borrower to Issuing Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit shall be secured by Liens in the Collateral that rank PARI PASSU with the Liens of the Lenders in the Collateral; accordingly each Dollar realized on the Collateral and the proceeds thereof shall be shared by the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Issuing Lender, on the other hand, in the proportion that the Obligations (determined without inclusion of any Letter of Credit Exposure) and the Letter of Credit Exposure bears to one another; provided, however, in determining the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Issuing Lender, all Letter of Credit Exposure, contingent or otherwise, shall be included in any calculation; provided, further, that if the Issuing Lender receives any proceeds of Collateral on account of any Letter of Credit which, at the time of receipt of the proceeds, may still be drawn upon and which thereafter expires without being drawn upon, then such proceeds shall be reallocated among the Lenders and the Issuing Lender on the basis of a new determination of Obligations and Letter of Credit Exposure. Prior to such reallocation or the application of such proceeds to unpaid reimbursement obligations of Borrower to Issuing Lender, Issuing Lender shall hold such proceeds in an interest bearing cash collateral account (the "CASH COLLATERAL ACCOUNT") which shall be in the name of and under the sole dominion and control of Issuing Lender for the benefit of itself and Lenders pursuant to the terms hererof. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Issuing Lender such documentation with respect to the Cash Collateral Account as Issuing Lender may request and hereby pledges and grants to Issuing Lender, for the benefit of Issuing Lender and Lenders, a security interest in all such proceeds and funds held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all interest thereon, claims and choses in action in respect thereof, and the proceeds thereof, as additional security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure, whether or not then due, and all other Obligations.

• The Letter of Credit Facility (a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein (i) the Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this SECTION 3.01, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Execution Date to the Termination Date to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Company, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with SUBSECTIONS 3.02(c) and 3.02(e), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (ii) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit Issued for the account of the Company; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to Issue, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if, as of the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit (the "ISSUANCE DATE"), after giving effect to such Issuance, (1) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations plus the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans would exceed the lesser of (x) the combined Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base, or (2) the Effective Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Company's ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and, accordingly, the Company may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit which have expired or which have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

• Additional Loan Documents Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Lender such other documents as shall have been requested by Lender to renew, and extend, the Loan Documents to secure payment of the Obligations of Borrower, all in form satisfactory to Lender and its counsel.
