The term Base Rate shall mean, for any day, a fluctuating interest rate per annum as shall be in effect from time to time which rate per annum shall at all times be equal to the greatest of: (i) the rate of interest established by Regions from time to time as its "prime rate" whether or not publicly announced, which interest rate may or may not be the lowest rate charged by it for commercial loans or other extensions of credit; (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time, determined one Business Day in arrears, plus ½ of one percent (0.5%) per annum; or (iii) the then-applicable LIBOR Rate for a one (1) month Interest Period plus one percent (1.0%) per annum.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders severally agrees to lend to Borrower, and Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the Maturity Date upon notice by Borrower to Agent given in accordance with §2.5, such sums as are requested by Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.7 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to the lesser of (a) such Lender's Commitment, and (b) such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing Base; provided, that, in all events no

Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or shall result therefrom. The Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Lender's Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, as applicable, have been satisfied on the date of such request. No Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount outstanding which exceeds such Lender's Commitment.

§2.2

Revolving Notes.

If requested by a Lender, the Revolving Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by a separate revolving credit promissory note of Borrower in favor of such Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (such notes and any substitute or replacement notes therefore, the "Revolving Notes"). A Revolving Note shall be payable to each Lender in the principal face amount equal to such Lender's Commitment. Each such Revolving Note shall be issued by Borrower to the applicable Lender and shall be duly executed and delivered by an authorized officer of Borrower. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Revolving Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent's Record reflecting the making of such Revolving Loan or the receipt of such payment. The Outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans set forth on Agent's Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on Agent's Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower, hereunder or under any Revolving Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Note when due.

§2.3

Interest on Revolving Loans.

(a) Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the LIBOR Rate, plus (B) the LIBOR Rate Spread; and

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof until repayment or conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, plus (B) the Base Rate Spread.

(d) Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Revolving Loans of the other Type as provided in §4.1.

§2.4

Obligations during each fiscal quarter or portion thereof commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered for purposes of determining such Facility Fee. The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, with a final payment due and payable on the Maturity Date. Any payment due under this Section shall be prorated for any partial fiscal quarter. The Facility Fee shall be fully earned when due and non-refundable when paid.

§2.5

Requests for Revolving Loans.

Borrower shall give to Agent written notice in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D hereto) of the Revolving Loan (the "Revolving Loan Request") by 12:00 noon (Houston time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to such Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Such notice shall specify the Type of Revolving Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) and the Drawdown Date. Such notice shall also contain a statement that the conditions to borrowing set forth in §§10 and 11 hereof, as applicable, have been satisfied. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, Agent shall notify each of Lenders thereof. Such Revolving Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and shall obligate Borrower to accept the Revolving Loan requested from Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Each Revolving Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $250,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof; or (b) for a LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

Upon receipt from each Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 (in the case of Revolving Loans to be made on the Closing Date only) and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, Agent will make available to Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans made available to Agent by Lenders by crediting such amount to the Advance Account. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to Agent the amount of such other Lender's Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Loans, including any additional Revolving Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing. In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the Lender or Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to Borrower the amount of its or their Commitment Percentage for such Revolving Loans as provided in §12.5.

(b) Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender's Commitment Percentage of a proposed Revolving Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Revolving Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Revolving Loan available to Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon Agent's demand therefor, Agent will promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to Agent. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from Borrower at the applicable rate for such Revolving Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

§2.7

earlier), LC Issuer will issue such Letter of Credit at LC Issuer's office in Miami, Florida. If any provisions of any LC Application conflict with any provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will immediately notify LC Issuer.

(c) Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of Borrower, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse LC Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of such Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower, and that Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

(d) Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by LC Issuer and Borrower, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(e) Unless otherwise agreed by Agent, each LC Issuer shall report in writing to Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which such LC Issuer issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the currencies and face amounts of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), it being understood that such LC Issuer shall not effect any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued by it without first obtaining written confirmation from Agent that such increase is then permitted under this Agreement, (ii) on each Business Day on which such LC Issuer makes any payment under any draw made under any Letter of Credit, the date, currency and amount of such payment, (iii) on any Business Day on which Borrower fails to reimburse any Matured LC Obligation required to be reimbursed to such LC Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the currency and amount of such Matured LC Obligation, and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as Agent shall reasonably request as the Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer.

§2.12

Reimbursement and Participations.

(a) Reimbursement by Borrower. Each Matured LC Obligation shall constitute a loan by LC Issuer to Borrower. Borrower promises to pay to LC Issuer, or to LC Issuer's order, on demand, the full amount of each Matured LC Obligation, together with interest thereon (i) at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans to and including the first Business Day after such demand is made by LC Issuer and (ii) at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans on each day thereafter. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse LC Issuer for each Matured LC Obligation shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including any LC Application) under all circumstances, including the following: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such

beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), LC Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such 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; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit; (iv) any payment by LC Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that the absolute and unconditional nature of Borrower's obligations under this section to reimburse LC Issuer for each drawing under a Letter of Credit will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of LC Issuer. However, the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse LC Issuer from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements) suffered by Borrower that are caused by LC Issuer's gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

(b) Letter of Credit Advances. If the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit makes a draft or other demand for payment thereunder then Borrower may, during the interval between the making thereof and the honoring thereof by LC Issuer, request Lenders to make Loans to Borrower in the amount of such draft or demand, which Loans shall be made concurrently with LC Issuer's payment of such draft or demand and shall be immediately used by LC Issuer to repay the amount of the resulting Matured LC Obligation. Such a request by Borrower shall be made in compliance with all of the provisions hereof, provided that for the purposes of the first sentence of §2.1, the amount of such Loans shall be considered, but the amount of the Matured LC Obligation to be concurrently paid by such Loans shall not be considered.

(c) Participation by Lenders. LC Issuer irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and, to induce LC Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from LC Issuer, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated and for such Lender's own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of LC Issuer's obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each Matured LC Obligation paid by LC Issuer thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with LC Issuer that, if a Matured LC Obligation is paid under any Letter of Credit for which LC Issuer is not reimbursed in full by Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the related LC Application (including any reimbursement by means of concurrent Loans or by the application of Cash Collateral), such Lender shall (in all circumstances and without set-off or counterclaim) pay to LC Issuer on demand (and Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose), in immediately available funds at LC Issuer's address for notices hereunder, such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such Matured LC Obligation (or any portion thereof that has not been reimbursed by Borrower). Each Lender's obligation to pay LC Issuer pursuant to the terms of this subsection is irrevocable and unconditional. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is paid by such Lender to LC Issuer within 3 Business Days after the date such payment is due, LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be

entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender to LC Issuer pursuant to this subsection is not paid by such Lender to LC Issuer within 3 Business Days after the date such payment is due, LC Issuer shall in addition to such amount be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, interest thereon calculated from such due date at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.

(d) Distributions to Participants. Whenever LC Issuer has in accordance with this section received from any Lender payment of such Lender's Commitment Percentage of any Matured LC Obligation, if LC Issuer thereafter receives any payment of such Matured LC Obligation or any payment of interest thereon (whether directly from Borrower or by application of Cash Collateral or otherwise, and excluding only interest for any period prior to LC Issuer's demand that such Lender make such payment of its Commitment Percentage), LC Issuer will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage of the amounts so received by LC Issuer; provided, however, that if any such payment received by LC Issuer must thereafter be returned by LC Issuer, such Lender shall return to LC Issuer the portion thereof that LC Issuer has previously distributed to it.

(e) Calculations. A written advice setting forth in reasonable detail the amounts owing under this section, submitted by LC Issuer to Borrower or any Lender from time to time, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amounts thereof.

§2.13

Letter of Credit Fees.

In consideration of LC Issuer's issuance of any Letter of Credit, Borrower agrees to pay (a) to Agent, for the account of all Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, a letter of credit issuance fee at a rate equal to the Letter of Credit Fee Rate then in effect (which fee shall be increased by 2.0% per annum during any period in which interest on the Loans accrues at the Default Rate), and (b) unless Regions is the sole Lender, to LC Issuer for its own account, a letter of credit fronting fee at a rate equal to 0.250% per annum times the face amount of such Letter of Credit (but in no event less than $500 per annum); provided, however, any Letter of Credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to LC Issuer pursuant to §2.10 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirements, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to §14.5(e), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to LC Issuer for its own account. In addition, Borrower will pay to LC Issuer, LC Issuer's customary fees for issuance, amendment and drawing of each Letter of Credit. The letter of credit fee and the letter of credit fronting fee will be calculated on the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding on each day at the above-applicable rates and will be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Maturity Date.

§2.14

No Duty to Inquire.

(a) Drafts and Demands. LC Issuer is authorized and instructed to accept and pay drafts and demands for payment under any Letter of Credit without requiring, and without responsibility for, any determination as to the existence of any event giving rise to said draft,

either at the time of acceptance or payment or thereafter. LC Issuer is under no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone presenting such a draft or making such a demand (whether by tested telex or otherwise) as the officer, representative or agent of any beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, and payment by LC Issuer to any such beneficiary when requested by any such purported officer, representative or agent is hereby authorized and approved. LC Issuer shall have the right, in its discretion, to decline to accept documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. Borrower releases each Lender Party from, and agrees to hold each Lender Party harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the subject matter of this section, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by any Lender Party, provided only that no Lender Party shall be released from or entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim that is proximately caused by or results from its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment.

(b) Extension of Maturity. If the maturity of any Letter of Credit is extended by its terms or by Requirements or governmental action, if any extension of the maturity or time for presentation of drafts or any other modification of the terms of any Letter of Credit is made at the request of any Loan Party, or if the amount of any Letter of Credit is increased at the request of any Loan Party, this Agreement shall be binding upon all Loan Parties with respect to such Letter of Credit as so extended, increased or otherwise modified, with respect to drafts and property covered thereby, and with respect to any action taken by LC Issuer, LC Issuer's correspondents, or any Lender Party in accordance with such extension, increase or other modification.

(c) Transferees of Letters of Credit. If any Letter of Credit provides that it is transferable, LC Issuer shall have no duty to determine the proper identity of anyone appearing as transferee of such Letter of Credit, nor shall LC Issuer be charged with responsibility of any nature or character for the validity or correctness of any transfer or successive transfers, and payment by LC Issuer to any purported transferee or transferees as determined by LC Issuer is hereby authorized and approved, and Borrower releases each Lender Party from, and agrees to hold each Lender Party harmless and indemnified against, any liability or claim in connection with or arising out of the foregoing, which indemnity shall apply whether or not any such liability or claim is in any way or to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by any Lender Party, provided only that no Lender Party shall be released from or entitled to indemnification for that portion, if any, of any liability or claim that is proximately caused by or results from its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment.

§2.15

Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of Agent or LC Issuer (i) if LC Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Matured LC Obligation that has not been reimbursed pursuant to §2.12, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Termination Date, any LC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all LC Obligations. If, after the making of all mandatory prepayments required under §3.2, the outstanding LC Obligations will exceed the Borrowing Base, then in addition to prepayment of the entire principal balance of the Loans required under

§3.2, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding LC Obligations in an amount equal to such excess. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of Agent, Swing Line Lender or LC Issuer, Borrower shall deliver Cash Collateral to Agent in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure allocable to such Defaulting Lender (after giving effect to Section §14.5(e) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at Agent. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) Agent, for the benefit of Agent, LC Issuer and the Lenders (including Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to §2.15(c). If at any time Agent reasonably determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by Agent, pay or provide to Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this §2.15 or §2.16, or §§ 3.2, 2.10, 14.5, or 12.5 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific LC Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other conditions giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with §18); provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this §2.15 may be otherwise applied during the continuance of an Event of Default in accordance with §12.5), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

§2.16

Swing Line Loans.

(a) Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender, in its discretion and in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this §2.16, may make loans (herein called "Swing Line Loans") to Borrower from time to time

between the Closing Date and the Maturity Date 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 Swing Line Lender's Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal balance of Swing Line Lender's Revolving Loans and LC Obligations, may exceed the amount of Swing Line Lender's Commitment, provided that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Swing Line Loans does not exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit does not exceed the lesser of the aggregate Commitments of all of Lenders and the Borrowing Base at such time. Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under this §2.16, prepay under §§3.2 and 3.3, and reborrow under this §2.16. The obligation of Borrower to repay to Swing Line Lender the aggregate amount of all Swing Line Loans made by Swing Line Lender, together with interest accruing in connection therewith, shall be evidenced by a Note made by Borrower payable to Swing Line Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (such notes and any substitute or replacement notes therefore, the "Swing Line Notes"). Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on each day outstanding at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Spread applicable to Revolving Loans in effect on such day. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender's Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Loan shall be made upon Borrower's irrevocable notice to Swing Line Lender and Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such telephonic request shall be deemed a representation, warranty, acknowledgment and agreement by Borrower as to the matters that are required to be set out in a written Request for Swing Line Loan. Each such notice must be received by Swing Line Lender and Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the day on which any such Swing Line Loan is to be made, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Swing Line Lender and Agent of a written notice in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto) of the Swing Line Loan (the "Swing Line Loan Request"), appropriately completed and signed by an authorized officer of Borrower. Promptly after receipt by Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Request, Swing Line Lender will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Request and, if not, Swing Line Lender will notify Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Loan (i) directing Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of §2.16(a), or (ii) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in §11 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender will promptly make such Swing Line Loan available to Borrower.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its discretion may request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes Swing

Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Request for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of §2.5 and §2.6, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in §2.5 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the conditions set forth in §11. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Request promptly after delivering such notice to Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Request available to Agent in immediately available funds (and Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of Swing Line Lender at Agent's office promptly on the day specified in such Loan Request, whereupon, subject to §2.16(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in such amount. Agent shall remit the funds so received to Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in accordance with §2.16(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender's payment to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender pursuant to §2.16(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this §2.16(c) by the time specified in §2.16(c)(i), Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Loan or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this §2.16(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this §2.16(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in §11. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or

otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by Swing Line Lender under any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Swing Line Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Agent will make such demand upon the request of Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this §2.16 to refinance such Lender's Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of Swing Line Lender. On each Interest Payment Date relating to Base Rate Loans, Borrower shall pay to Swing Line Lender all unpaid interest that has accrued on the Swing Line Loans to but not including such date.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to Swing Line Lender.

§3. REPAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE LOANS

§3.1

Repayment; Stated Maturity.

Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date, all Outstanding obligations on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

§3.2

Mandatory Prepayments.

Loans Exceed Commitments or Borrowing Base. If at any time (i) the aggregate Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit exceed the aggregate Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit exceed the Borrowing Base, then Borrower shall pay within five (5) Business Days of written demand from Agent the amount of such excess to Agent for the respective accounts of Lenders, as applicable, for application for the Loans, as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, and after all Loans are repaid in full, Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations in accordance with §2.15 in an amount equal

to such excess; provided however that until such time as Borrower has paid (or Cash Collateralized) such amounts to Agent for the respective accounts of the appropriate Lenders pursuant to the preceding clause, Lenders shall have no obligation to make additional funds available to Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and LC Issuer shall have no obligation to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement.

§3.3

Optional Prepayments.

Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium, provided that if any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such payment shall be accompanied by the amount payable pursuant to §4.8. Borrower shall give Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Houston time, at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of payment of Loans and the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid. Notice of prepayment, once given, shall be irrevocable, and such amount shall become due and payable on the specified prepayment date.

§3.4

Partial Prepayments.

Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 (or $100,000 with respect to Swing Line Loans) or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (unless the Loan is being prepaid in full), and each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment and, after payment of such interest, shall be applied, in the absence of instruction by Borrower, first to the principal of Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and then to the Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS

§4.1

Conversion Options; Number of LIBOR Contracts.

(a) Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of the outstanding Loans to a Loan of another Type and such Loan shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, Borrower shall give Agent at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall give Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days' prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan; the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Lenders) of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount (for all Lenders) of less than $1,000,000 or a LIBOR Rate Loan in an aggregate principal amount (for all Lenders) of less than $2,000,000 and that the aggregate principal amount (for all Lenders) of each Loan shall be an integral multiple of $100,000. On the

date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take, to the extent it deems it necessary to do so, such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by Borrower.

(b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

(c) In the event that Borrower does not notify Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any Loan, such Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

(d) There shall be no more than six (6) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

§4.2

Certain Fees.

Borrower agrees to pay to Regions certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees. Unless otherwise provided therein, all such fees shall be fully earned when due and non-refundable when paid.

§4.3

Funds for Payment.

All payments of principal, interest, Agent's fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to Agent, for the respective accounts of Lenders and Agent, as the case may be, at Agent's Office, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Houston time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.

§4.4

Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of §18 relating to the maintenance of the Register (as defined in §18.2) and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this paragraph (c).

(e) If requested by Agent after any payment of Taxes by Borrower, to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.4, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(f) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in § 4.4(g)A, B and D below) shall not be required if in the Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such

Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(g) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

A. any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

B. any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

i. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

ii. executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

iii. in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN,; or

iv. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

C. any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed

originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

D. if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) If any party determines, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party's obligations under this §4.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j) For purposes of this §4.4, the term "Lender" includes any LC Issuer and the term "applicable law" includes FATCA.

§4.5

Computations.

All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year (or, in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, a 365/366-day year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (excluding the day of repayment). Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term "Interest Period" with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the records of Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount.

§4.6

Inability to Determine LIBOR Rate.

In the event that at any time Agent shall determine in the exercise of its good faith business judgment that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and Lenders) to Borrower and Lenders. In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for Base Rate Loans and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically become a Base Rate Loan at the end of the current Interest Period, and the obligations of Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon Agent shall so notify Borrower and Lenders.

§4.7

Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender Party or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender Party to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender Party shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to Agent and Borrower and thereupon (a) until such conditions terminate, the obligation of such Lender Party to make LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Loans of another Type to LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended, (b) until such conditions terminate, each request by Borrower to make a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be deemed, with respect to such Lender Party, to be a request for a Base Rate Loan and (c) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding from such Lender Party shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans.

§4.8

Additional Interest.

If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, Borrower will pay to Agent upon demand for the account of Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable

hereunder, any amounts required to compensate Lenders for any losses, costs or expenses (but not loss of profit) which may reasonably be incurred as a result of such payment or conversion, including, without limitation, an amount equal to daily interest for the unexpired portion of such Interest Period on the LIBOR Rate Loan or portion thereof so repaid or converted at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the interest rate calculated on the basis of the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan (excluding any spread over such LIBOR Rate) minus (b) the yield obtainable by Agent upon the purchase of debt securities customarily issued by the Treasury of the United States of America which have a maturity date most closely approximating the last day of such Interest Period (it being understood that the purchase of such securities shall not be required in order for such amounts to be payable and that a Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually obtained funds at the LIBOR Rate or to have actually reinvested such amount as described above).

§4.9

Additional Costs, Capital Adequacy, Etc.

(a) Subject to §4.4, if any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or LC Issuer;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes) with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan, any Commitment, any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Recipient; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or LC Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, Agent or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, LC Issuer, or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or any Swing Line Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit or Swing Line Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, LC Issuer, Agent or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, LC Issuer or Agent, or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, LC Issuer, Agent, or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, LC Issuer, Agent, or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making the payment referred to in this §4.9(a), to prepay the Loans and Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of the applicable Lender within fifteen (15) days of such demand and avoid the payment of the amounts otherwise due under this §4.9(a) or to cause the applicable Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments in accordance with §18.8,

provided, however, that Borrower shall be required to pay together with such prepayment of the Loan all other costs, damages and expenses otherwise due under this Agreement as a result of such prepayment.

(b) If any Lender or LC Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or LC Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender's or LC Issuer's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or LC Issuer's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or LC Issuer's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by LC Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender's or LC Issuer's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or LC Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or LC Issuer's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or such Lender's or LC Issuer's holding company for any such reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making the payment referred to in this §4.9(b), to prepay the Loans and Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations of the applicable Lender within fifteen (15) days of such demand and avoid the payment of the amounts otherwise due under this §4.9(b) or to cause the applicable Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments in accordance with §18.8, provided, however, that Borrower shall be required to pay together with such prepayment of the Loan all other fees, costs, damages and expenses otherwise due under this Agreement as a result of such prepayment.

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or LC Issuer's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or LC Issuer or pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender's or LC Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

§4.10

Mitigation Obligations

If any Lender requests compensation under §4.9, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to §4.4, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to §4.4 or §4.9, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be

disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

§4.11

Indemnity by Borrower.

Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender Party harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense that such Lender Party may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender Party to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, or (b) default by Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Conversion Request.

§4.12

Interest on Overdue Amounts.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, at the election of the Required Lenders, all Loans and all Matured LC Obligations shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the rate that would otherwise be applicable at such time (the "Default Rate"), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if such rate shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.

§4.13

Certificate.

A certificate of a Lender or LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in §4.8, §4.9, §4.11 or §4.12 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or LC Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

§4.14

Limitation on Interest.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all agreements between Borrower and Lender Parties and Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender Parties exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lender Parties in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Lender Parties shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Lender Parties shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender Parties shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any

renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This section shall control all agreements between Borrower and Lender Parties and Agent.

§5. GUARANTORS; COLLATERAL SECURITY

§5.1

Collateral.

(a) The parties acknowledge that Borrower will form directly-owned special purpose Restricted Subsidiaries to own real and personal property. With respect to each Restricted Subsidiary, Borrower shall (i) pursuant to §8.10, designate such Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) cause each Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement (Guarantor), and (iii) cause each Restricted Subsidiary and each required Loan Party to deliver the Security Documents described in §5.1(b) below, together with Organizational Documents, certified resolutions and other authorizing documents of such Subsidiary and such other Loan Parties and favorable opinions of counsel to such Subsidiary and such other Loan Parties, all in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

(b) The Obligations shall be secured by (i) a perfected lien or security title and security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Eligible Assets and substantially all other personal property of Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Equity Interests in Unrestricted Subsidiaries), pursuant to the terms of the Mortgages, (ii) a perfected security interest in favor of Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the personal property assets of the Guarantors pursuant to the Security Agreement, (iii) a perfected security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Eligible Leases pursuant to the Assignments of Leases, (iv) a perfected security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Eligible Mortgages pursuant to the Mortgage Assignments; (v) a perfected security interest to be held by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in the Pledged Deposit Accounts and all monies, instruments and investments from time to time held therein, (vi) a perfected pledge of and security interest in all issued and outstanding Equity Interests in the Restricted Subsidiaries held by Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the Security Agreement, and (vii) such additional collateral, if any, as the Borrower may agree to grant to Agent for the benefit of Lenders from time to time as security for the Obligations. All such liens or security titles shall be prior and superior in right to any other Person except Permitted Liens having priority by operation of law.

§5.2

Operating Account.

Prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the initial Loan advance is made, Borrower shall cause its main operating account (the "Operating Account") to be maintained with Agent. So long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw amounts from the Operating Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Agent may sweep all funds on deposit in the Operating Account to an account controlled by Agent on a daily basis. Borrower hereby grants to Agent a security interest (prior and superior in right to any other Person except Permitted Liens having priority by operation of law) in and to all funds now or at any time hereafter held on deposit in such Operating Account to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, and Agent shall have all rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such funds.

§5.3

Advance Account.

On or before the date on which the initial Loan advance is made, Agent shall open an account at Agent's Head Office in the name of Borrower to facilitate the funding of the Loans (the "Advance Account"). The sole signatory on the Advance Account shall be Borrower. The Advance Account shall be a non-interest bearing account.

(a) Deposits of Loans to the Advance Account. The proceeds of all Loans shall be deposited by Agent to the Advance Account, and all Loans shall accrue interest from the date of deposit in the Advance Account. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have access to all funds contained in the Advance Account. Upon withdrawal of Loan proceeds from the Advance Account, Borrower shall apply such Loan proceeds as permitted under §2.7.

(b) Funds Following an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may terminate Borrower's rights to access or direct the application of funds on deposit in the Advance Account. Thereafter, Agent shall either hold all or any portion of the funds on deposit as security for the Obligations or apply all or any portion of such funds in satisfaction of any part of the Obligations.

(c) Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to Agent a perfected, first-in-priority security interest in and to all funds now or at any time hereafter held on deposit in the Advance Account to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, subject to Permitted Liens, and Agent shall have all rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such funds.

§5.4

[RESERVED].

§5.5

Release of Collateral.

From time to time Borrower may request release of Collateral that constitutes a Borrowing Base Asset, together with a release of the Guarantor that owns such Borrowing Base Asset and the Equity Interests in such Guarantor, and Agent will grant such releases and remove such Collateral from the Borrowing Base Assets so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default is then in existence; and (ii) removal of such Collateral from the Borrowing Base will not cause the Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit to exceed the remaining Borrowing Base.

As of the Closing Date, except as described on Schedule 6.7 hereto, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations of any kind pending or to the Borrower's Knowledge, threatened, against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Collateral before any court, tribunal, administrative agency or board, mediator or arbitrator that, if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, there are no judgments outstanding against or affecting Borrower, any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or any of the Collateral.

§6.8

No Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc.

Neither Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is a party to any mortgage, indenture, or other material contract or agreement or other instrument that has had or is reasonably expected, in the judgment of the members, partners or officers of such Person, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

§7.10

Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent and Lenders may exercise all rights and remedies granted under the Security Documents subject to the terms thereof, including the right to obtain possession of all Rents then held by Loan Parties or to receive directly from the payors thereof all other Rents. In no case shall any failure, whether intentioned or inadvertent, by Agent or Lenders to collect directly any such Rents constitute in any way a waiver, remission or release of any of their rights under the Security Documents, nor shall any release of any Rents by Agent or Lenders to Loan Parties constitute a waiver, remission, or release of any other Rents or of any rights of Agent or Lenders to collect other Rents thereafter.

At any time after and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may, but shall never be obligated to, remove or cause the removal of any Hazardous Substances which are in violation of any Environmental Law from Borrower's or any Restricted Subsidiary's property (or if removal is prohibited by any Environmental Law or any other applicable law, physical restriction or other reason, take or cause the taking of such other action as is required to cause such property to be in material compliance with any Environmental Law) if Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary fails to materially comply with its obligations hereunder with respect thereto; and Agent and its designees are hereby granted access to such property at any reasonable time or times, upon reasonable notice, to remove or cause such removal or to take or cause the taking of any such other action.

§11.2

No Legal Impediment.

§11.3

Borrowing Documents.

Agent shall have received a fully completed Loan Request for such Loan or request for Letter of Credit for such Letter of Credit and the other documents and information as required by §2.5.

§12.2

Limitation of Cure Periods.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to "the continuance of a default" or "the continuance of an Event of Default" or any similar phrase shall not create or be deemed to create any right on the part of Borrower, any other Loan Party, or any other Person to cure any default following the expiration of any applicable grace or notice and cure period.

§12.3

[RESERVED].

§12.4

Remedies.

(a) In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans and other Obligations pursuant to §12.1, Agent on behalf of Lenders may, and upon direction of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right. No remedy herein conferred upon Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of Lenders, Lenders acknowledge and agree that only Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default, including without limitation, bringing any suit for collection of any Note.

§12.5

Distribution of Collateral Proceeds.

In the event that, following the occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the assets of any Loan Party or any other Person liable with respect to the Obligations (including the Collateral), such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:

(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of, Agent for or in respect of all reasonable costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been incurred or sustained by Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or in connection with the collection of such monies by Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of Agent to such monies;

(b) Second, to all other Obligations in the following order: (i) first to the payment of any fees or charges outstanding hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (excluding any Hedge Agreements), (ii) next to any accrued and outstanding Default Rate interest, (iii) next to any accrued and outstanding interest on the Loans and Matured LC Obligations, (iv) next to any Outstanding principal on the Loans and Matured LC Obligations, (v) next to obligations to Cash Collateralize LC Obligations pursuant to §2.15, and (vi) last to any remaining Obligations (including with respect to any Hedge Agreement) in such order as the Required Lenders may determine; provided, however, that (A) in the event that any Lender shall have wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under §2.5 or §2.6 and such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by other Lenders during the pendency of such failure or refusal shall be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other Obligations described in this §12.5(b), (B) Obligations owing to Lenders such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, shall be made among such Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, and (C) amounts received from any Guarantor that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor, or from proceeds of any Collateral provided by any Guarantor that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor, shall not be applied to Excluded Swap Obligations; and provided, further, that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

§13. SETOFF

§13.1

Setoff.

Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch of where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from Agent or any of Lenders to any of the Loan Parties and any securities or other property of the Loan Parties in the possession of Agent or any Lender may be applied to or setoff against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Loan Parties, to such Lender; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.5 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement

describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Lender, including Agent, may, but shall not be obligated to freeze withdrawals from any account of the Loan Parties held by such Lender. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

§13.2

Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, its participations in LC Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders and subparticipations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them (except that with respect to any other Lender that is a Defaulting Lender by virtue of such Lender failing to fund its required share (if any) of any Loan or LC Obligation, such Defaulting Lender's pro rata share of the excess payment shall be allocated to the Lender (or the Lenders, pro rata) that funded such Defaulting Lender's required share (if any)); provided that:

(a) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(b) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (ii) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in §2.15, or (iii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in LC Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

§14. THE AGENT

§14.1

Authorization.

Each of the Lenders and LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Regions to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by Agent. The obligations of Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or LC Issuer or to create any agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of Lenders and LC Issuer hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term "Agent", it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender or LC Issuer by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind Lenders and LC Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§14.2

Employees and Agents.

Agent may exercise its rights and powers and execute any and all of its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent and any such agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by Borrower.

§14.3

No Liability.

Neither Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to Lenders or LC Issuer for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any

statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal, or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or LC Issuer, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or LC Issuer unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or LC Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

§14.4

No Representations.

Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in §27 and §12.4) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Agent by any Loan Party or any Lender or LC Issuer.

Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the

performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any other of the Loan Documents.

Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to Lenders or LC Issuer, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of Borrower or any other Loan Party or the value of the Collateral or any other assets of such Persons.

Each Lender and LC Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent, LC Issuer or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and LC Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, LC Issuer or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

§14.5

Payments.

(a) A payment by any Loan Party to Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one (1) Business Day after Agent's receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with Agent's customary practices, such Lender's pro rata share of payments received by Agent for the account of Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents; provided that if any Lender then owes payments to LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender for the purchase of a participation under §2.12(c) or §2.16(c), any amounts otherwise distributable under this section to such Lender shall be deemed to belong to LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender to the extent of such unpaid payments, and Agent shall apply such amounts to make such unpaid payments rather than distribute such amounts to such Lender.

(b) If in the opinion of Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

(c) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees otherwise due such Lender for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). The Defaulting Lender shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in §2.13. If Borrower, Agent, Swing Line Lender and LC Issuer

agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which conditions may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to §12 or otherwise) or received by Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by Agent or requested by LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent; fifth, if so determined by Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, LC Issuer or Singe Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Matured LC Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans or Matured LC Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §11 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Matured LC Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Matured LC Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender

pursuant to this Section 14.5(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(e) Reallocation of Commitment Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of that Defaulting Lender's participation in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to that Defaulting Lender's Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in §11 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrower shall have otherwise notified Agent at such time, Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate amount of the Loans and participations in LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed the lesser of (1) such non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment and (2) such non-Defaulting Lender's Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing Base (calculated without giving effect to any reallocations pursuant to this clause (e)). No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

(f) Cash Collateral; Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in the preceding clause (e) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under Requirements, (1) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender's Fronting Exposure and (2) second, Cash Collateralize LC Issuer's Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in §2.15.

§14.6

Holders of Notes.

§14.7

Indemnity.

Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (to the extent of any losses, damages, costs and expenses (and agrees to reimburse LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender for any costs and expenses incurred thereby in its capacity as such) for which Agent (or LC Issuer or Swing Line Lender) has not been reimbursed by Borrower as required by §00 xx §00), and liabilities of every nature and character arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or Agent's actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by Agent's willful misconduct or gross negligence.

§14.8

Agent as Lender.

In its individual capacity, Regions shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any other Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.

§14.9

Resignation.

Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice thereof to Lenders, LC Issuer and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent any Lender or any other bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than "A" or its equivalent by Xxxxx'x or not less than "A" or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000. Any such resignation shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor agent selected by the Required Lenders. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders and LC Issuer, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a bank whose debt obligations are rated not less than "A" or its equivalent by Xxxxx'x or not less than "A" or its equivalent by S&P Corporation and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000, provided that if Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of Lenders or LC Issuer under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and LC Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Agent's resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

§14.10

Duties in the Case of Enforcement.

In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, Agent may and shall, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) Lenders have provided to Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of the Security Documents authorizing the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and exercise all or any other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have. The Required Lenders may direct Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that Agent reasonably believes Agent's compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.

§14.11

Request for Agent Action.

Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business of the Loan Parties, (a) the Loan Parties may enter into leases covering the Eligible Asset that may require the execution of a subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreement, (b) the Eligible Asset may be subject to a condemnation or other taking, (c) the Loan Parties may desire to enter into easements or other agreements affecting the Eligible Asset, dedicate roads or utilities, or take other actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business which similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of Agent. In connection with the foregoing, LC Issuer and Lenders hereby expressly authorize Agent to (a) execute and deliver with the Loan Parties and any tenant, subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreements with respect to any lease upon such terms as Agent in its good faith reasonable judgment determines are appropriate (Agent in the exercise of its good faith reasonable judgment may agree to allow some or all of the casualty, condemnation, restoration or other provisions of the applicable lease to control over the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents), (b) execute releases of Liens of Eligible Asset in connection with dispositions permitted in this Agreement or in connection with any condemnation or other taking, (c) execute consents or subordinations in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent in connection with any easements, agreements, plats, dedications or similar matters affecting the Eligible Asset, or (d) execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be desirable by Agent or any tenant necessary in the ordinary course of the Loan Parties' respective businesses.

Such removal shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor agent selected by the Required Lenders. Any successor Agent must satisfy the conditions set forth in §14.9. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Agent, and the removed Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations as Agent under

this Agreement and the Loan Documents (subject to Agent's right to be indemnified as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that Agent shall remain liable to the extent provided herein or in the Loan Documents for its acts or omissions occurring prior to such removal or resignation.

§14.13

Bankruptcy.

In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or any other Loan Party, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and duty to file and pursue a joint proof of claim on behalf of all Lenders and LC Issuer.

§16. INDEMNIFICATION

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders and each director, officer, employee, agent and Person who controls Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (a) any leasing fees and any brokerage, finders or similar fees asserted against any Indemnitee based upon any agreement, arrangement or action made or taken, or alleged to have been made or taken, by the Loan Parties, (b) any condition, use, operation or occupancy of a Eligible Asset or other Collateral other than with respect to matters relating to such Eligible Asset and/or the Collateral first occurring after Agent or its nominee acquires title to such Eligible Asset by the exercise of its foreclosure remedies or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, (c) any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans, (d) any Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by LC Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (e) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service xxxx or similar right of any of the Loan Parties comprised in the Collateral, (f) entering into or performing this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (g) any actual or alleged violation of any law, ordinance, code, order, rule, regulation, approval, consent, permit or license relating to a Eligible Asset or the other Collateral, or (h) with respect to each Loan Party and its assets, including, without limitation, the Eligible Assets, the violation of any Environmental Law, the Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property), other than with respect to matters relating to such Eligible Asset and/or the Collateral first occurring after Agent or its nominee acquires title to such Eligible Asset by the exercise of its foreclosure remedies or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower against any Indemnitee for bad faith breach of such Indemnitee's obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claims as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z)

result from violation by any Indemnitee of any such Indemnitee's internal policies or from a violation of laws, rules or regulations applicable to such Indemnitee's operations. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Indemnitees shall be entitled to select a single law firm as their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, Borrower agrees to pay promptly all court costs and other expenses of litigation incurred by the Indemnitees, including the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. There shall be specifically excluded from the foregoing indemnification any claims, actions, suits, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses arising from disputes among Lenders with respect to the Loans or the Loan Documents. In the event that any such claims, actions, suits, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses involve both a dispute among Lenders and other matters covered by this indemnification provision, Agent shall make a reasonable good faith allocation of all losses, damages and expenses incurred between Lenders' dispute and the other matters covered by this indemnification provision, which allocation by Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties hereto. All amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section shall constitute Obligations until paid in full by Borrower. The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of Lenders and LC Issuer hereunder.

§17. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or the other Loan Parties, as applicable, pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lenders, LC Issuer and Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by Lenders of any of the Loans and the issuing by LC Issuer of any of the Letters of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or LC Issuer has any obligation to issue any Letters of Credit. The indemnification obligations of Borrower provided herein and the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of the obligations of Lenders and LC Issuer hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to any Lender, LC Issuer or Agent at any time by or on behalf of any of the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties as to the matters contained in such certificate or other paper by any of the Loan Parties hereunder.

§18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION

§18.1

§18.2

Agent shall maintain a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitment Percentages, of, and principal amount of (and interest on) the Loans owing to Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, LC Issuer and Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

§18.3

New Notes.

Upon its receipt of an assignment executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note (if any) subject to such assignment, Agent shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders (other than the assigning Lender). Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, Borrower, upon Lender's request and at Lender's expense, shall execute and deliver to Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note, to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by such assignee pursuant to such assignment and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note, to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes of the same category, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such assignment and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to Borrower.

§18.4

Participations.

Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder to Borrower, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (c) such participant shall have no direct rights against Borrower except the rights granted to Lenders pursuant to §13, (d) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and (e) such participant shall satisfy the criteria (other than minimum total assets) for being an Eligible Assignee.

In addition, any Lender may, with the consent of Agent (which may be granted or withheld in Agent's sole discretion) pledge all or any portion of its interests and rights under the Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note or Notes) to a Person approved by Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no pledge permitted pursuant to this Section or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

§18.6

No Assignment by Borrower.

Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of Lenders.

§18.7

Cooperation; Disclosure.

Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard lending practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder, subject to the provisions of §18.10. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the "tax treatment" and "tax structure" (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect

to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated hereby. In order to facilitate assignments to Eligible Assignees and sales to Eligible Assignees, Borrower shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lenders may reasonably require. In addition, the Loan Parties agree to cooperate fully with Lenders in the exercise of Lenders' rights pursuant to this Section, including providing such information and documentation regarding the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries as any Lender or any potential Eligible Assignee or participant may reasonably request and, upon the reasonable request of any such Lender, to meet with potential Eligible Assignees.

§18.8

Mandatory Assignment.

In the event (i) Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications, consents or waivers be made to or under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent or Required Lenders but is not approved by one or more of Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the "Non-Consenting Lender"), (ii) Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to §4.4 or §4.9, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in §4.7 or §4.9, and in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with §4.10, (iii) any Lender hereunder is a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) shall hereafter be referred to as an "Affected Lender") then, within thirty (30) days after Borrower's receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, or, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above at any time after the occurrence of such event, Borrower shall have the right as to such Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to Agent and the Affected Lender, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Loans and Commitments. Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages (not including the Commitment of the Affected Lender), of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by Agent). In the event that Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender's Loans and Commitment, then Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Loans and Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender's interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and such Affected Lender's original Note. The purchase price for the Affected Lender's Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable prepayment fees which would be owed to such Affected Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Affected Lender's Commitment. A Lender shall not be required to make any such transfer and assignment if, prior thereto, as a result

of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such transfer and assignment cease to apply.

§18.9

Co-Agents.

Agent may designate any Lender to be a "Co-Agent", an "Arranger" or similar title, but such designation shall not confer on such Lender the rights or duties of Agent. Any such "Co-Agent" or "Arranger" shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights and obligations, if any, as a Lender.

§18.10

Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each of Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or, with Borrower's consent, any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Agent, LC Issuer, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

and to each other Lender which may hereafter become a party to this Agreement at such address as may be designated by such Lender. Each Notice shall be effective upon being personally delivered or upon being sent by overnight courier or upon being deposited in the United States Mail as aforesaid. The time period in which a response to such Notice must be given or any action taken with respect thereto (if any), however, shall commence to run from the date of receipt if personally delivered or sent by overnight courier, or if so deposited in the United States Mail, the earlier of three (3) Business Days following such deposit or the date of receipt as disclosed on the return receipt. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving at least fifteen (15) days prior Notice thereof, the Loan Parties, a Lender or LC Issuer or Agent shall have the right from time to time and at any time during the term of

this Agreement to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.

§20. RELATIONSHIP

None of Agent, LC Issuer nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or fiduciary duty to the Loan Parties arising out of or in connection with the Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, and the relationship between each Lender and Borrower is solely that of a lender and borrower, and between each Lender and any Guarantor is solely that of a lender and guarantor, and nothing contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall in any manner be construed as making the parties hereto partners, or any other relationship other than lender and borrower, or lender and guarantor (as the case may be). In addition, the Loan Parties agree that notwithstanding any other relationship that Regions or any affiliate thereof may have with Borrower or the other Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, in any proceeding relating to Borrower or the other Loan Parties, under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar proceeding, the Loan Parties will not challenge Lenders' or LC Issuer's right to receive payment of the Obligations as a creditor of Borrower or the other Loan Parties on the grounds of the equitable subordination principles contained in §510 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. §101 et G.), as from time to time amended, or any similar provision under any applicable law. The covenants contained in this §20 are a material consideration and inducement to Lenders and LC Issuer to enter into the Agreement.

§21. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE

THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED THEREIN, ARE CONTRACTS UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE (EXCLUDING THE LAWS APPLICABLE TO CONFLICTS OR CHOICE OF LAW), AND ANY AND ALL MATTERS IN DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH LOAN PARTY AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING THEREIN AND CONSENTS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT AND THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT BEING MADE UPON SUCH LOAN PARTY (IF ANY) BY MAIL AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN §19. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT OR ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH SUIT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT.

The captions in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof.

§23. COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC EXECUTION

(a) Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one instrument. In proving this Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Agent (including the Agreement Regarding Fees) and any provisions of any commitment letter or similar letter relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that expressly survive the Closing Date, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in §10, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Agent and when Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(c) Electronic Communication. Notices and other communications to Agent and Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article 4 if such Lender has notified Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender's receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the "return receipt requested" function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or

101

communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(d) Platform.

(i) Each Loan Party agrees that Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to LC Issuer and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on the Platform.

(ii) The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available." The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the "Agent Parties") have any liability to Borrower or the other Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Borrower's, any Loan Party's or Agent's transmission of communications through the Platform. "Communications" means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Xxxxxxxx.

§00. ENTIRE AGREEMENT, ETC.

The Loan Documents and any other documents executed in connection herewith or therewith express the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except as provided in §27.

§25. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND CERTAIN DAMAGE CLAIMS

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF BORROWER, THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES, AGENT, LC ISSUER AND THE LENDERS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, BORROWER AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY,

102

PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY LENDER, LC ISSUER OR AGENT HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH LENDER, LC ISSUER OR AGENT WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT AGENT AND THE LENDERS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS §25. BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS §25 WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT EACH AGREES TO THE FOREGOING AS ITS FREE, KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY ACT.

§26. DEALINGS WITH THE BORROWER

The Lenders and their affiliates may accept deposits from, extend credit to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties, or any of its Affiliates regardless of the capacity of the Lender hereunder.

§27. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by Borrower of any terms of this Agreement or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section:

(a) none of the following may occur without the written consent of each affected Lender:

(i) a decrease in the rate of interest on the Notes;

(ii) an increase in the amount of the Commitments of Lenders;

(iii) a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon or fee payable under the Loan Documents (other than in connection with the imposition or rescission of the Default Rate);

(iv) a decrease in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender hereunder;

(v) the release of Borrower, any guarantor or any of the Collateral except as otherwise provided herein;

(vi) a change to this §27;

103

(vii) any postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on, or fees in respect of, the Loans;

(viii) any change in the manner of distribution of any payments to Lenders or Agent;

(ix) an amendment of the definition of Required Lenders or of any requirement for consent by all of Lenders; or

(x) an amendment of any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of Lenders or the Required Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action.

(b) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by Borrower or the other Loan Parties therefrom, shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Commitment of any Lender;

(ii) increase the aggregate Commitments over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of the Required Lenders;

(iii) waive any condition precedent to the initial Loans on the Closing Date, for which it is expressly provided in such Section that satisfaction of such condition is to be acceptable to or approved by Agent, without the consent of Agent, and in any such event it shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of any other Lender to such waiver; or

(iv) amend, modify, terminate or waive the amount or timing of payment of any fee payable to Agent for its own account, any provision of §14 as the same applies to Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of Agent, in each case without the consent of Agent.

No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon the Loan Parties shall entitle the Loan Parties to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. In the event any Lender fails to expressly grant or deny any consent, amendment or waiver sought under this Agreement within ten (10) days of a written request therefor submitted by Agent or Agent's Special Counsel, such Lender shall be deemed to have granted to Agent an irrevocable proxy with respect to such specific matter. The right of any Lender to consent under subsections (a) and (b) of this §27 shall not apply to a Defaulting Lender, except for purposes of subsection (b)(i) of this §27.

104

§28. SEVERABILITY

The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

§29. NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS

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

§30. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS

BORROWER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER.

§31. REPLACEMENT OF NOTES

§32. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§33. RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of Borrower, the other Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. All conditions to the performance of the obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Agent and Lenders will refuse to make Loans in the absence of strict

105

compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Agent and Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so.

§34. GUARANTY

§34.1

The Guaranty.

(a) Each of Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and each of the holders of the Obligations, as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations (the "Guaranteed Obligations") in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof; provided, however, that the Guaranteed Obligations shall not include any Excluded Swap Obligations. Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the United States Bankruptcy Code and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief laws of the United States from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, "Debtor Relief Laws") or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

§34.2

Obligations Unconditional.

The obligations of Guarantors under §34.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution, compromise, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this §34.2 that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this §34 until such time as the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto have expired or been terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following

106

shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, Agent or any of the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

(e) any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest notice of acceptance of the guaranty given hereby and of Loans that may constitute obligations guaranteed hereby, notices of amendments, waivers and supplements to the Loan Documents and other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or the compromise, release or exchange of collateral or security, and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that Agent or any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents or any other documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

§34.3

Reinstatement.

Neither Guarantors' obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor, by reason of Borrower's or any other Guarantor's bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Guarantors under this §34 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a

107

result of any proceedings pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Agent and each holder of Guaranteed Obligations on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other outside counsel incurred by the Agent) incurred by Agent or such holder of Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.

§34.4

Certain Waivers.

Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the guaranty given hereby may be enforced without the necessity of resorting to or otherwise exhausting remedies in respect of any other security or collateral interests, and without the necessity at any time of having to take recourse against Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder or against any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, (b) it will not assert any right to require the action first be taken against Borrower or any other Person (including any co-guarantor) or pursuit of any other remedy or enforcement any other right, and (c) nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit action being taken against Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or the other documents and agreements relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or from foreclosing on any security or collateral interests relating hereto or thereto, or from exercising any other rights or remedies available in respect thereof, if none of Borrower nor Guarantors shall timely perform their obligations, and the exercise of any such rights and completion of any such foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of Guarantors' obligations hereunder unless as a result thereof, the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, it being the purpose and intent that Guarantors' obligations hereunder be absolute, irrevocable, independent and unconditional under all circumstances.

§34.5

Remedies.

Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between Guarantors, on the one hand, and Agent and the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in §12.1 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in §12.1) for purposes of §34.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by Guarantors for purposes of §34.1. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that if the Guaranteed Obligations are secured pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

108

§34.6 Rights of Contribution.

Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in accordance with applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated, and none of Guarantors shall exercise any such contribution rights until the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto shall have expired or been terminated.

§34.7

Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guaranty.

The guarantee in this §34 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, and is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

§34.8

Special Provisions Applicable to Guarantors.

(a) Guarantors hereby agree, among themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor's Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this §34.8(a) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty, and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all such obligations. For purposes of this §34.8(a), (i) "Excess Funding Guarantor" shall mean, in respect of any Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of the amount of proceeds of Loans advanced to it by Borrower that have not been repaid as of the date of determination, plus its Pro Rata Share of the remaining portion of such Obligations, (ii) "Excess Payment" shall mean, in respect of any Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of the amount of proceeds of Loans advanced to it by Borrower that have not been repaid as of the date of determination, plus its Pro Rata Share of the remaining portion of such Obligations and (iii) "Pro Rata Share" shall mean, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of Borrower and all of Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors hereunder) of Borrower and all of Guarantors, all as of the Closing Date.

109

(b) Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement (Guarantor) by any Subsidiary to the extent required by §5.1 of this Agreement, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any Joinder Agreement (Guarantor) adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor hereunder.
