Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.
Revolving Facility (a) As of the Effective Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Existing Revolving Loans, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any “Swing Line Loans” (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) is set forth on Schedule 2.1.
1. The Existing Revolving Loans are held by the Existing Lenders in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.1.
1. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and in reliance on the representations and warranties of the Borrowers herein, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (A) the Existing Revolving Loans shall be, from and following the Effective Date, continued and outstanding as the Revolving Loans under this Agreement, (B) concurrently therewith, the Extending Lenders shall have assigned their Existing Revolving Loans and Existing Commitments among themselves and to the New Lenders and hereby direct the Administrative Agent to re-allocate all Existing Revolving Loans and Existing Commitments and require the extension of new Revolving Loans, such that, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby the Revolving Loans and Commitments (prior to giving effect to any Advances to be made on the Effective Date) shall be allocated among the Lenders as set forth in Schedule 2.1.1, (C) all “Swing Line Loans” (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and “Letters of Credit” (under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding and issued under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date shall continue to be outstanding and issued under this Agreement, and (D) on and after the Effective Date the terms of this Agreement shall govern the rights and obligations of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender, the LC Issuers and the Administrative Agent with respect thereto.
(b) From and including the Effective Date and prior to the Facility Termination Date, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers in Agreed Currencies, participate in Facility LCs issued in Agreed Currencies, and participate in Facility LCs issued in Discretionary Currencies at the discretion of an LC Issuer, in each case upon the request of the Borrowers; provided, that (i) after giving effect to the making of each such Revolving Loan and the issuance of each such Facility LC, the Dollar Amount of each Lender’s Outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed its Revolving Commitment, and (ii) all Base Rate Loans shall be made in Dollars. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the Revolving Loans at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date; provided, that a Foreign Borrower may only borrow in its respective Designated Currencies. The Revolving Commitments shall expire on the Facility Termination Date. The LC Issuer will issue Facility LCs hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.19.
Revolving Credit Facility (a) The Revolving Credit Lenders grant to the Borrower a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) pursuant to which, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth:
(i) each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Ratable Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2;
(ii) each Revolving Credit Lender may, in its sole discretion, make bids to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3; and
(iii) the Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Advances to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.19.

(ii) In no event shall the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Advances exceed the Competitive Bid Sublimit.
(iii) In no event shall the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Advances exceed the Swing Line Commitment.
(c) Subject to the terms hereof, the Revolving Credit Facility is available from the date hereof to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date and, upon the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, the Revolving Credit Commitments to lend hereunder shall expire. The Revolving Credit Commitment of a Revolving Credit Declining Lender shall expire on its Revolving Credit Declining Lender’s Termination Date unless prior thereto such Revolving Credit Declining Lender elects, with the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to extend its Revolving Credit Commitment to the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date, which election and approval shall be evidenced by a written instrument in a form reasonably acceptable to and executed by such Revolving Credit Declining Lender, the Borrower, the Company and the Administrative Agent. Upon the execution and delivery of such written instrument, such Revolving Credit Lender shall cease to be a Revolving Credit Declining Lender.
(d) Any outstanding Revolving Credit Advances and all other unpaid Revolving Credit Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date (except to the extent that, pursuant to Article IV, Facility Letters of Credit are permitted to have an expiration date later than the Revolving Credit Facility Termination Date).

(b) in the case of a LIBOR Loan or U.S. Base Rate Loan, the principal amount of such Loan.
Letter of Credit Facility (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each L/C Account Party, or Interface on behalf of any L/C Account Party, may request, in accordance with the provisions of this Article IIA, that, on and after the Restatement Date, the Domestic L/C Issuer issue one or more Domestic Letters of Credit for the account of such L/C Account Party; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit to be so issued shall conform to the following conditions and requirements:
(i) The Letter of Credit shall be in a form customarily used by the L/C Issuer or in any other form requested by the L/C Account Party and approved by the L/C Issuer;
(ii) No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than one year from the date of issuance thereof, and no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, regardless of its date of issuance;
(iii) [Intentionally omitted];
(iv) No Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued having a stated amount less than $250,000;
(v) No Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments;

(vii) [Intentionally Omitted];
(viii) [Intentionally Omitted]; and
(ix) Any such Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and/or ISP98 (or any other customary set of rules, regulations, or standards adopted and employed by the L/C Issuer in its customary practices), as set forth in the application for such Letter of Credit or other applicable law as determined by the L/C Issuer. Upon expiration or termination of the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments, the foregoing Domestic Letter of Credit facility shall automatically expire or terminate, as the case may be, without further action or notice hereunder.
(b) Each Letter of Credit may provide that the L/C Issuer may (but shall not be required to), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, or the exercise of any remedies set forth in Article IX, pay the beneficiary thereof or, if payment is not then due to the beneficiary, provide for the deposit of funds in an account to secure payment to the beneficiary and that any funds so deposited shall be paid to the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit if conditions to such payment are satisfied, or returned to the L/C Issuer for distribution to the Domestic Agent (or, if all Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the applicable L/C Account Party) if no payment to the beneficiary has been made and the final date available for drawings under the Letter of Credit has passed. Each payment or deposit of funds as provided in this Section 2A.01(b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as a drawing duly honored by the L/C Issuer under the related Letter of Credit.
Termination of Revolving Credit Facility The Revolving Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
Revolving Line of Credit (a) The Bank hereby establishes in favor of the Borrower a revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). The Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, repay and reborrow funds under the Line of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof so long as the total principal amount owed to the Bank under the Line of Credit does not exceed $25,000,000.00 (or such lesser amount as is set forth herein) during the Revolving Period. The Bank’s obligation to make advances hereunder shall terminate at the expiration of the Revolving Period.
(b) The Borrower’s indebtedness under the Line of Credit shall be evidenced by a promissory note (as amended, extended or renewed from time to time, the “Line of Credit Note”) of even date herewith executed by the Borrower in favor of the Bank in the original principal amount of $25,000,000.00. The Line of Credit Note shall bear interest at the rate set forth therein and shall be payable as set forth therein.
(c) The Bank shall make each advance under the Line of Credit upon written or telephonic notice from the Borrower to the Bank requesting an advance. The notice shall specify the date for which the advance is requested (which must be a Business Day) and the amount of the advance. The Bank must receive the notice prior to 12:00 noon (Eastern time) on the Business Day of the advance. Alternatively, the Borrower may request advances by drawing checks on a deposit account that is linked to the credit facility hereunder in accordance with disbursement arrangements that are mutually satisfactory to the parties. The Bank will make each requested advance available to the Borrower not later than the close of business on the Business Day of the request by crediting the Borrower’s account maintained with the Bank in the amount of the advance if as of such time: (i) the Bank’s obligation to make advances hereunder has not terminated or expired; (ii) a Default or Event of Default has not occurred; and (iii) all conditions to the advance set forth herein or in any other Loan Documents have been satisfied. The Bank may rely upon any written or telephonic notice given by any person that the Bank in good faith believes is an authorized representative of the Borrower without the necessity of any independent investigation. If any telephonic notice conflicts with a written confirmation, the telephonic notice shall govern if the Bank has acted in reliance thereon.
(d) For purposes hereof, the term “Revolving Period” shall mean a period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on March 18, 2007.

(C) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(D) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(E) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(F) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranties or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or
(G) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a Guarantor.

Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments If the maturity date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments at a time when another tranche or tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments is or are in effect with a longer maturity date, then on the earliest occurring maturity date all then outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swing Line Loans as a result of the occurrence of such maturity date); provided, however, that if on the occurrence of such earliest maturity date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Credit Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 2.03(l)), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Credit Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swing Line Loans could be incurred pursuant the Extended Revolving Credit Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of such maturity date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swing Line Loans and the same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the relevant Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, and such Swing Line Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on such earliest maturity date.
