Subject to Section 5.7 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan. Revolving Credit Loans to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Revolving Credit Lenders as provided in Section 2.2(b).

• Swing Line Facility Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (A) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (ii) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan and (iii) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

• Revolving Credit Agreement The Agent shall have received this Agreement duly executed and delivered by each of the Banks and the Company and each of the Banks shall have received a fully executed Committed Note and a fully executed Bid Note, if such Notes are requested by any Bank pursuant to Section 12.9.

• New Swing Line Loans/Letters of Credit Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

• Revolving Credit Note The obligation of the Borrowers to pay the Revolving Loan, with interest, shall be evidenced by a promissory note (as from time to time extended, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Revolving Credit Note”) substantially in the form of EXHIBIT A-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, with appropriate insertions. The Revolving Credit Note shall be dated as of the Closing Date, shall be payable to the order of the Lender at the times provided in the Revolving Credit Note, and shall be in the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount. Each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that, if the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan outstanding from time to time exceeds the face amount of the Revolving Credit Note, the excess shall bear interest at the rates provided from time to time for advances under the Revolving Loan evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note and shall be payable, with accrued interest, ON DEMAND. The Revolving Credit Note shall not operate as a novation of any of the Obligations or nullify, discharge, or release any such Obligations or the continuing contractual relationship of the parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

• 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.

• Swing Line (a) The Swing Line Lender shall from time to time from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date make Swing Line Loans to Borrower in such amounts as Borrower may request, provided that (a) after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, Revolving Credit Facility Usage does not exceed the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount, (b) after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Outstandings do not exceed $10,000,000 and/or, (c) without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swing Line Loan may be made during the continuation of an Event of Default if written notice of such Event of Default shall have been provided to Swing Line Lender by the Administrative Agent or a Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Swing Line Loan. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section. Borrowings under the Swing Line may be made in amounts which are integral multiples of $100,000 (or the remaining availability under the Swing Line) upon telephonic request by a Responsible Official of Borrower made to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., California time, on the Banking Day of the requested borrowing (which telephonic request shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier or electronic mail). Promptly after receipt of such a request for borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swing Line Lender that, after giving effect to such request, availability for Loans will exist under Section 2.1(a) (and such verification shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier or electronic mail). Each repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $100,000 (or the Swing Line Outstandings). Borrower shall notify the Swing Line Lender of its intention to make a repayment of a Swing Line Loan not later than 1:00 p.m. California time on the date of repayment. If Borrower instructs the Swing Line Lender to debit its demand deposit account at the Swing Line Lender in the amount of any payment with respect to a Swing Line Loan, or the Swing Line Lender otherwise receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m., California time, on a Banking Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Banking Day. The Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Swing Loan Outstandings each time there is a change therein. (b) Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Alternate Base Rate Margin. Interest shall be payable on such dates, not more frequent than monthly, as may be specified by the Swing Line Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for such interest. The interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender (subject to clause (d) below). (c) Subject to subsection (e) below, the principal amount of all Swing Line Loans shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the maturity date agreed to by the Swing Line Lender and Borrower with respect to such loan (which maturity date shall not be a date more than ten (10) consecutive Banking Days from the date of advance thereof) or (ii) the Maturity Date. (d) Upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swing Line Lender a participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Facility times the amount of the Swing Line Loan. Upon demand made by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall, according to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Facility, promptly provide to the Swing Line Lender its purchase price therefor in an amount equal to its participation therein. The obligation of each Lender to so provide its purchase price to the Swing Line Lender shall be absolute and unconditional (except only demand made by the Swing Line Lender) and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to purchase its Pro Rata Share of (i) Swing Line Loans to the extent that, after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, Revolving Credit Facility Usage exceeds the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount, (ii) Swing Line Loans to the extent that, after giving effect to such Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Outstandings exceed $5,000,000 and (iii) any Swing Line Loan made (absent the consent of all of the Lenders) during the continuation of an Event of Default if written notice of such Event of Default shall have been provided to Swing Line Lender by the Administrative Agent or a Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Swing Line Loan. Each Lender that has provided to the Swing Line Lender the purchase price due for its participation in Swing Line Loans shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment, in the claim of the Swing Line Lender against Borrower for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrower (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender paid the Swing Line Lender its purchase price) with respect to such claim. (e) In the event that any Swing Line Loan remains outstanding for ten (10) consecutive Banking Days, then on the next Banking Day (unless Borrower has made other arrangements acceptable to the Swing Line Lender to repay such Swing Line Loan, in full), Borrower shall request a Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(a) sufficient to repay the aggregate principal amount of such Swing Line Loan together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto. In addition, the Swing Line Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to Borrower and the Lenders, demand payment of the Swing Line Loans by way of a Advance in the full amount or any portion of the Swing Line Outstandings. In each case, the Administrative Agent shall automatically provide the responsive Advances made by each Lender to the Swing Line Lender (which the Swing Line Lender shall then apply to the Swing Line Outstandings). In the event that Borrower fails to request a Loan within the time specified by Section 2.2 on any such date, the Administrative Agent may, but is not required to, without notice to or the consent of Borrower, cause Alternate Base Rate Advances to be made by the Lenders under the Revolving Facility in amounts which are sufficient to reduce the Swing Line Outstandings as required above. The proceeds of such Advances shall be paid directly to the Swing Line Lender for application to the Swing Line Outstandings.

• Revolving Credit Advances The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding.
