In addition, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time, without further request from or notice to such Borrower, to make advances under the Revolving Loan, which Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to protect the interests of Lender, including, without limitation, advances and reserves under the Revolving Loan made to cover debit balances in the Revolving Loan Account, principal of, and/or interest on, the Revolving Loan, the Obligations (including, without limitation, any Letter of Credit Obligations), and/or Enforcement Costs, prior to, on, or after the termination of other advances under this Agreement, regardless of whether the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loan that Lender may advance or reserve hereunder exceeds the Revolving Credit Committed Amount. Lender shall communicate to GP from time to time any action taken under this paragraph either orally or in writing.

Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary, so long as a Xxxxx Fargo Stagecoach Sweep Agreement is in effect, advances shall be made in accordance with such agreement.

2.1.3 Revolving Credit Note.

The obligation of Borrowers to pay the Revolving Loan, with interest, shall be evidenced by a Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note (as from time to time extended, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Revolving Credit Note”) substantially in the form of EXHIBIT B-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, with appropriate insertions. The Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of Lender at the times provided in the Revolving Credit Note, and shall be in the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, if the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan outstanding from time to time exceeds the face amount of the Revolving Credit Note, the excess shall bear interest at the Post-Default Rate for the Revolving Loan and shall be payable, with accrued interest, ON DEMAND. The Revolving Credit Note shall not operate as a novation of any of the Obligations or nullify, discharge, or release any such Obligations or the continuing contractual relationship of the parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

2.1.4 Optional Prepayments of Revolving Loan.

Borrowers shall have the option, at any time and from time to time, to prepay (each a “Revolving Loan Optional Prepayment” and collectively the “Revolving Loan Optional Prepayments”) the Revolving Loan, in whole or in part without premium or penalty.

2.1.5 The Collateral Account.

Each Borrower will deposit, or cause to be deposited, all Items of Payment to a bank account or bank accounts designated by Lender and from which Lender alone has power of access and withdrawal (collectively, the “Collateral Account”). In the case of any deposit that is made by a Borrower manually (i.e., the payment is received by a Borrower rather than being delivered to the Lockbox or wired to the Collateral Account), such deposit shall be made promptly after the date of receipt of the Items of Payment. The Items of Payment shall be deposited in precisely the form received, except for the endorsements of the applicable Borrower where necessary to permit the collection of any such Items of Payment, each Borrower hereby agreeing to make such endorsement. In the event any Borrower shall fail to do so, Lender is hereby authorized by each Borrower to make the endorsement in the name of the applicable Borrower. Prior to such a deposit, Borrowers will not commingle any Items of Payment with any of the other funds or property of any Borrower, but will hold them separate and apart in trust and for the account of Lender.

Each Borrower shall direct its Account Debtors that all Items of Payment are to be either (a) wired to the Collateral Account or (b) mailed to one or more post-office boxes designated by Lender, or to such other additional or replacement post-office boxes pursuant to the request of Lender from time to time (collectively, the “Lockbox”). Lender shall have unrestricted and exclusive access to the Lockbox.

Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to inspect all Items of Payment, endorse all Items of Payment in the name of such Borrower, and deposit such Items of Payment in the Collateral Account. Lender reserves the right, exercised in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time, to provide to the Collateral Account credit prior to final collection of an Item of Payment and to disallow credit for any Item of Payment which is unsatisfactory to Lender. In the event Items of Payment are returned to Lender for any reason whatsoever, Lender may, in the exercise of its discretion from time to time, forward such Items of Payment a second time. Any returned Items of Payment shall be charged back to the Collateral Account, the Revolving Loan Account, or other account, as appropriate.

Subject to the terms of the immediately following sentence, Lender will apply the whole or any part of the collected funds credited to the Collateral Account against the Revolving Loan (or with respect to Items of Payment that are not proceeds of Accounts or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, against any of the Obligations) or credit such collected funds to a depository account of Borrower with Lender (or an Affiliate of Lender), the order and method of such application to be in the sole discretion of Lender.

2.1.6 Revolving Loan Account.

Lender will establish and maintain a loan account on its books (the “Revolving Loan Account”) to which Lender will (a) debit (i) the principal amount of each advance of the Revolving Loan made by Lender hereunder as of the date made, (ii) the amount of any interest accrued on the Revolving Loan as and when due, and (iii) any other amounts due and payable by Borrowers to Lender from time to time under the provisions of this Agreement in connection with the Revolving Loan, including, without limitation, Enforcement Costs, Fees, late charges, and service, collection and audit fees, as and when due and payable, and (b) credit all payments

made by Borrowers to Lender on account of the Revolving Loan as of the date made including, without limitation, funds credited to the Revolving Loan Account from the Collateral Account. Lender may debit the Revolving Loan Account for the amount of any Item of Payment that is returned to Lender unpaid. All credit entries to the Revolving Loan Account are conditional and shall be readjusted as of the date made if final and indefeasible payment is not received by Lender in cash or solvent credits. Any and all periodic or other statements or reconciliations, and the information contained in those statements or reconciliations, of the Revolving Loan Account shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers in all respects, absent manifest error, unless Lender receives specific written objection thereto from Borrowers within thirty (30) Business Days after such statement or reconciliation shall have been sent by Lender.

2.1.7 Revolving Credit Unused Line Fee.

Borrowers shall pay to Lender a revolving credit facility fee (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Unused Line Fees” and individually, a “Revolving Credit Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin multiplied by the average daily unused and undisbursed portion of the Revolving Credit Committed Amount in effect from time to time accruing during each quarter. The accrued and unpaid portion of the Revolving Credit Unused Line Fee shall be paid in arrears by Borrowers to Lender for each calendar quarter ending September 30, December 31, March 31, and June 30, payable on the immediately following the first day of each October, January, April and July, commencing on the first such date following the date hereof, and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Section 2.2 The Letter of Credit Facility.

2.2.1 Letters of Credit.

Subject to and upon the provisions of this Agreement, and as a part of the Revolving Credit Commitment, any of Borrowers, upon the prior approval of Lender, may obtain standby letters of credit (as the same may from time to time be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, each a “Letter of Credit” and collectively the “Letters of Credit”) from Lender from time to time from the Closing Date until the Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date. No Borrower will be entitled to obtain a Letter of Credit hereunder unless (a) after giving effect to the request, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan and of the Letter of Credit Obligations would not exceed the Revolving Credit Committed Amount and (b) the sum of the aggregate face amount of the then outstanding Letters of Credit (including the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit) does not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

2.2.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

Prior to or simultaneously with the opening of each Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Lender, a letter of credit fee (each a “Letter of Credit Fee” and collectively the “Letter of Credit Fees”) in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to interest rates multiplied by the face amount of the Letter of Credit, but not less than the customary fee charged commercial customers for issuing a Letter of Credit from time to time. The Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid upon the opening of each Letter of Credit and upon each anniversary thereof, if any. In addition, Borrowers shall also pay to Lender all other reasonable and customary amendment, negotiation, processing, transfer or other fees to the extent and as and when required by the

provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement. All Letter of Credit Fees and all such other additional fees are included in and are a part of the “Fees” payable by Borrowers under the provisions of this Agreement and are a part of the Obligations.

2.2.3 Terms of Letters of Credit.

Each Letter of Credit shall (a) be opened pursuant to a Letter of Credit Agreement, and (b) expire on a date not later than the Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, if any Letter of Credit does have an expiration date later than the Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date (each a “Post-Expiration Date Letter of Credit” and collectively, the “Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit”), effective as of the Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date and without prior notice to or the consent of Borrowers, Lender shall make advances under the Revolving Loan for the account of Borrowers in the aggregate face amount of all such Letters of Credit. Lender shall deposit the proceeds of such advances into one or more non-interest bearing accounts with and in the name of Lender and over which Lender alone shall have exclusive power of access and withdrawal (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account”). The Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account is to be held by Lender as additional collateral and security for any Letter of Credit Obligations relating to the Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit. Each Borrower hereby assigns, pledges, grants and sets over to Lender a first priority security interest in, and Lien on, all of the funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account, together with any and all proceeds and products thereof as additional collateral and security for the Letter of Credit Obligations relating to the Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall be entitled to fund any draw or draft on any Post-Expiration Date Letter of Credit from the monies on deposit in the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account with notice to but without the consent of any Borrower. Each Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s election to fund any draw or draft on any Post-Expiration Date Letter of Credit from the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral shall in no way limit, impair, lessen, reduce, release or otherwise adversely affect Borrowers’ obligation to pay any Letter of Credit Obligations under or relating to the Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit. As Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit expire, a proportionate amount of the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account shall be applied to the outstanding Obligations. At such time as all Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit have expired, all Obligations have been paid in full, and the Commitment has been terminated, any remaining funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Cash Collateral Account shall be paid to Borrowers.

The aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit at any one time outstanding and issued by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all Post-Expiration Date Letters of Credit, plus the amount of any unpaid Letter of Credit Fees accrued thereon, and less the aggregate amount of all drafts issued under or purporting to have been issued under such Letters of Credit that have been paid by Lender and for which Lender has been reimbursed by Borrower in full in accordance with Section 2.2.5 (Payments of Letters of Credit) and the Letter of Credit Agreements, and for which Lender has no further obligation or commitment to restore all or any portion of the amounts drawn and reimbursed, is herein called the “Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations”.

2.2.4 Procedures for Letters of Credit.

A Borrower shall give Lender written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which such Borrower desires Lender to issue a Letter of Credit. Such notice shall be accompanied by a duly executed Letter of Credit Agreement specifying, among other things: (a) the name and address of the intended beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, (b) the requested face amount of the Letter of Credit, (c) whether the Letter of Credit is to be revocable or irrevocable, (d) the Business Day on which the Letter of Credit is to be opened and the date on which the Letter of Credit is to expire, (e) the terms of payment of any draft or drafts which may be drawn under the Letter of Credit, and (f) any other terms or provisions such Borrower desires to be contained in the Letter of Credit. Such notice shall also be accompanied by such other information, certificates, confirmations, and other items as Lender may require to assure that the Letter of Credit is issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and a Letter of Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of a Letter of Credit Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and control unless otherwise expressly provided in the Letter of Credit Agreement. Upon (x) receipt of such notice, (y) payment of all Letter of Credit Fees and all other Fees payable in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and (z) receipt of a duly executed Letter of Credit Agreement, Lender shall process such notice and Letter of Credit Agreement in accordance with its customary procedures and open such Letter of Credit on the Business Day specified in such notice.

2.2.5 Payments of Letters of Credit.

Borrowers hereby promise to pay to Lender, ON DEMAND and in United States Dollars, the following which are herein collectively referred to as the “Current Letter of Credit Obligations”:

(a) the amount which Lender has paid or will be required to pay under each draft or draw on a Letter of Credit, whether such demand be in advance of Lender’s payment or for reimbursement for such payment;

(b) any and all reasonable charges and expenses which Lender may pay or incur relative to the Letter of Credit and/or such draws or drafts; and

(c) interest on the amounts described in (a) and (b) not paid by Borrowers as and when due and payable under the provisions of (a) and (b) above from the day the same are due and payable until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate.

In addition, Borrowers hereby promise to pay any and all other Letter of Credit Obligations as and when due and payable in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Letter of Credit Agreements. The obligation of Borrowers to pay Current Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Letter of Credit Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Borrower or any other account party may have or have had against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, Lender, or any other Person, including, without limitation, any defense based on the failure of any draft or draw to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit, any draft or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid, or the

legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, any draft or other documents presented with any draft, any Letter of Credit Agreement, this Agreement, or any of the other Financing Documents, all whether or not Lender had actual or constructive knowledge of the same, and irrespective of any Collateral, security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto and irrespective of any other circumstances whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Borrowers for any Letter of Credit Obligations, in bankruptcy or otherwise; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Lender for any wrongful payment under such Letter of Credit made as a result of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligation of Borrowers to pay the Letter of Credit Obligations shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Lender or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against any Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of such obligation or against any Collateral, security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto.

The Letter of Credit Obligations shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of all or any portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Person, or any substantial part of such Person’s property, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.2.6 Change in Law; Increased Cost.

If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof occurring after the date of this Agreement shall either (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by Lender, or (b) impose on Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clauses (a) or (b) above shall be to increase the cost to Lender of issuing, maintaining or extending the Letter of Credit or the cost to Lender of funding any obligation under or in connection with the Letter of Credit (other than a cost relating to net income, franchise or similar taxes), then, upon demand by Lender, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Lender from time to time as specified by Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate Lender for such increased cost, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the then highest current rate of interest on the Revolving Loan. A certificate as to such increased cost incurred by Lender, submitted by Lender to Borrowers, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.2.7 General Letter of Credit Provisions.

Borrowers consent to Lender’s payment of any draft complying with the terms of any Letter of Credit irrespective of any instructions of any Borrower to the contrary. As between Borrowers and Lender, Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of the beneficiary and other users of any Letter of Credit. Lender and its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents shall not be responsible for and each Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender and its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents harmless from and against all liability, loss and expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) incurred by

Lender and/or its branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents relative to and/or as a consequence of (a) any failure by Borrowers to perform the agreements hereunder and under any Letter of Credit Agreement, (b) any Letter of Credit Agreement, this Agreement, any Letter of Credit and any draft, draw and/or acceptance under or purported to be under any Letter of Credit, (c) any action taken or omitted by Lender and/or any of its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents at the request of Borrowers, (d) any failure or inability to perform in accordance with the terms of any Letter of Credit by reason of any control or restriction rightfully or wrongfully exercised by any de facto or de jure Governmental Authority, group or individual asserting or exercising governmental or paramount powers, and/or (e) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Lender and/or any of its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents.

Except for gross negligence or willful misconduct, Lender and its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents, shall not be liable or responsible in any respect for any (a) error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any one or more messages or advices in connection with any Letter of Credit, whether transmitted by cable, telegraph, mail or otherwise and despite any cipher or code which may be employed, and/or (b) action, inaction or omission which may be taken or suffered by it or them in good faith or through inadvertence in identifying or failing to identify any beneficiary or otherwise in connection with any Letter of Credit.

Subject to the terms of the Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit may be amended, modified or revoked only upon the receipt by Lender from Borrowers and the beneficiary (including any transferee and/or assignee of the original beneficiary), of a written consent and request therefor.

If any Laws, order of court and/or ruling or regulation of any Governmental Authority of the United States (or any state thereof) and/or any country other than the United States permits a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit to require Lender and/or any of its respective branches, Affiliates and/or correspondents to pay drafts under or purporting to be under a Letter of Credit after the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall reimburse Lender, as appropriate, for any such payment pursuant to provisions of Section 2.2.6 (Change in Law; Increased Cost).

Except as may otherwise be specifically provided in a Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Agreement, the laws of the State and (a) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits in effect at the time of issuance (“UCP”) of the International Chamber of Commerce Publication shall govern commercial Letters of Credit and (b) the International Standby Practices in effect at the time of issuance (the “ISP”) of the International Chamber of Commerce shall govern standby letters of credit. In the event of a conflict between the UCP and ISP and the laws of the State, the UCP and ISP shall prevail.

Section 2.3 The Term Loan Facility.

2.3.1 Term Loan Commitment.

Subject to and upon the provisions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make a loan (the “Term Loan”) to Borrower in the principal amount of the lesser of (a) Forty Million

Dollars ($40,000,000) or (b) the amount actually used by the Borrower to make Transaction Payments (herein called the “Term Loan Committed Amount”). The obligation of Lender to make the Term Loan is herein called its “Term Loan Commitment.” Amounts repaid or prepaid on the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. The Lender will advance the full proceeds of the Term Loan at the request of the Borrower on a Business Day through and including December 31, 2014, on which date the Term Loan Commitment shall expire. The Borrower’s request for an advance after the Closing Date shall be in a writing received by the Lender not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Business Day of advance.

2.3.2 The Term Note.

The obligation of Borrower to pay the Term Loan with interest shall be evidenced by a promissory note (as from time to time extended, amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Term Note”) substantially in the form of EXHIBIT B-2 attached hereto and made a part hereof with appropriate insertions.

2.3.3 Term Loan Installment Payments.

Borrower shall make installment payments of principal on the Term Loan in the amount of One Million One Hundred Eleven Thousand One Hundred Eleven and 11/100 Dollars ($1,111,111.11) each on the first day of each month commencing on the later of (a) November 1, 2014 or (b) the first day of the first month following the month in which the Term Loan is advanced. If not sooner paid, the Term Loan shall mature on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

2.3.4 Term Loan Commitment Fee.

Borrowers shall pay to Lender a fee (the “Term Loan Commitment Fee”) equal to the Term Loan Committed Amount multiplied twenty-five (25) basis points per annum for the period commencing on the Closing Date through and including the earlier of (a) the day preceding the day on which the Term Loan is fully advanced, and (b) the date on which the Term Loan Commitment expires. The accrued and unpaid Term Loan Commitment Fee shall be due and payable monthly, commencing October 1, 2014 and continuing on the first day of the month thereafter.

2.3.5 Optional Prepayments of Term Loan.

Borrower shall have the option, at any time and from time to time, to prepay (each a “Term Loan Optional Prepayment” and collectively the “Term Loan Optional Prepayments”) the Term Loan, in whole or in part, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice, specifying the date and amount of prepayment. The amount to be so prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to date of prepayment if the amount is intended as a prepayment of the Term Loan in whole, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on the date specified for such prepayment. Partial Term Loan Optional Prepayments shall be in an amount not less than the aggregate amount of the next principal installment under the Term Note and shall be applied first to all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal of the Term Note, then to the any principal payment due at maturity and then to principal against the principal installments in the inverse order of their maturity.

Section 2.4 Applicable Interest Rates.

(a) Each unpaid advance of the Revolving Loan and the Term Loan shall bear interest until maturity (whether by acceleration, declaration, extension or otherwise) at the Applicable Rate.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the option of Lender, all unpaid advances of the Revolving Loan, the Term Loan and all other Obligations shall bear interest at the Post-Default Rate.

Section 2.5 General Financing Provisions.

2.5.1 Borrowers’ Representatives.

Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to Lender that each of them will derive benefits, directly and indirectly, from each Letter of Credit and from each advance of the Revolving Loan, both in their separate capacity and as a member of the integrated group to which each of Borrowers belong and because the successful operation of the integrated group is dependent upon the continued successful performance of the functions of the integrated group as a whole, because (a) the terms of the consolidated financing provided under this Agreement are more favorable than would otherwise be obtainable by Borrowers individually, and (b) Borrowers’ additional administrative and other costs and reduced flexibility associated with individual financing arrangements which would otherwise be required if obtainable would substantially reduce the value to Borrowers of the financing. Borrowers in the discretion of their respective managements are to agree among themselves as to the allocation of the benefits of Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Loan, provided, however, that Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted to Lender at the time of allocation that each benefit and use of proceeds is a Permitted Use.

For administrative convenience, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints GP as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution (with the prior written consent of Lender in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion), in the name of GP or in the name of Borrower or otherwise to take any and all actions with respect to the this Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Obligations and/or the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Proceeds thereof) as GP may so elect from time to time, including, without limitation, actions to (i) request advances under the Loan, apply for and direct the benefits of Letters of Credits, and direct Lender to disburse or credit the proceeds of any Loan directly to an account of GP, any one or more of Borrowers or otherwise, which direction shall evidence the making of such Loan and shall constitute the acknowledgment by each of Borrowers of the receipt of the proceeds of such Loan or the benefit of such Letter of Credit, (ii) enter into, execute, deliver, amend, modify, restate, substitute, extend and/or renew this Agreement, any Additional Borrower Joinder Supplement, any other Financing Documents, security agreements, mortgages, deposit account agreements, instruments, certificates, waivers, letter of credit applications, releases, documents and agreements from time to time, and (iii) endorse any check or other item of payment in the name of Borrower or in the name of GP. The foregoing appointment is coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked without the prior written consent of Lender, and may be exercised from time

to time through GP’s duly authorized officer, officers or other Person or Persons designated by GP to act from time to time on behalf of GP.

Each of Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to make advances of the Revolving Loan to any one or more of Borrowers, and hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit for the account of any or all of Borrowers, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement upon the written, oral or telephone request of any one or more of the Persons who is from time to time a Responsible Officer of a Borrower under the provisions of the most recent certificate of corporate resolutions and/or incumbency of Borrowers on file with Lender and also upon the written, oral or telephone request of any one of the Persons who is from time to time a Responsible Officer of GP under the provisions of the most recent certificate of corporate resolutions and/or incumbency for GP on file with Lender.

Lender assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, mistakes, and/or discrepancies in the oral, telephonic, written or other transmissions of any instructions, orders, requests and confirmations between Lender and Borrowers in connection with the Credit Facilities, any advance of the Revolving Loan, any Letter of Credit or any other transaction in connection with the provisions of this Agreement. Without implying any limitation on the joint and several nature of the Obligations, Lender agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrowers may create reasonable inter-company indebtedness between or among Borrowers with respect to the allocation of the benefits and proceeds of the advances and Credit Facilities under this Agreement. Borrowers agree among themselves, and Lender consents to that agreement, that each Borrower shall have rights of contribution from all of the other Borrowers to the extent such Borrower incurs Obligations in excess of the proceeds of the Loans received by, or allocated to purposes for the direct benefit of, such Borrower. All such indebtedness and rights shall be, and are hereby agreed by Borrowers to be, subordinate in priority and payment to the indefeasible repayment in full in cash of the Obligations, and, unless Lender agrees in writing otherwise, shall not be exercised or repaid in whole or in part until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Borrowers agree that all of such inter-company indebtedness and rights of contribution are part of the Collateral and secure the Obligations. Until this Agreement has been terminated and the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, Each Borrower hereby waives all rights of counterclaim, recoupment and offset between or among themselves arising on account of that indebtedness and otherwise. Each Borrower shall not evidence the inter-company indebtedness or rights of contribution by note or other instrument, and shall not secure such indebtedness or rights of contribution with any Lien or security. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount covered by each Borrower under the Obligations (including, without limitation, Section 2.5.8 (Guaranty)) shall be limited to an aggregate amount (after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Borrower in respect of the Obligations) which, together with other amounts owing by such Borrower to Lender under the Obligations, is equal to the largest amount that would not be subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of any applicable, comparable state or other Laws.

2.5.2 Use of Proceeds of the Revolving Loan.

The proceeds of each advance under the Revolving Loan shall be used by Borrowers for Permitted Uses, and for no other purposes except as may otherwise be agreed by Lender in writing.

2.5.3 Computation of Interest and Fees.

All applicable Fees and interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.5.4 Maximum Interest Rate.

In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate permissible for corporate borrowers under applicable law for loans of the type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section, have been paid or accrued if the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay Lender, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rates otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. In the event that a court determines that Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations other than interest, in the inverse order of maturity, and if there are no Obligations outstanding, Lender shall refund to Borrowers such excess.

2.5.5 Payments.

All payments of the Obligations, including, without limitation, principal, interest, Prepayments, and Fees, shall be paid by Borrowers without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim to Lender in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the due date of such payment. All payments received by Lender after such time shall be deemed to have been received by Lender for purposes of computing interest and Fees and otherwise as of the next Business Day. Payments shall not be considered received by Lender until such payments are paid to Lender in immediately available funds to Lender’s principal office in Baltimore, Maryland or at such other location as Lender may at any time and from time to time notify Borrowers. Alternatively, at its sole discretion, Lender may charge any deposit account of Borrowers at Lender or any Affiliate of Lender with all or any part of any amount due to Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents to the extent that Borrowers shall have not otherwise tendered payment to Lender. Without implying any limitation on the foregoing, Borrower authorizes Lender to debit Borrower’s demand deposit account number with

the last four digits *********1818 or any other account with Lender (routing number 121-000248) designated in writing by Borrower, beginning as of the date hereof for any payments due for periodic Fees. Borrower further certifies that Borrower holds legitimate ownership of this account and preauthorizes this periodic debit as part of its right under said ownership.

2.5.6 Liens; Setoff.

Each Borrower hereby grants to Lender as additional collateral and security for all of the Obligations, a continuing Lien on any and all monies, Investment Property, and other property of Borrower, in each case excluding the Excluded Assets, and any and all proceeds thereof, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to, Lender, and/or any Affiliate of Lender, from or for the account of, Borrower, and also upon any and all deposit accounts (general or special) and credits of Borrower, if any, with Lender or any Affiliate of Lender, at any time existing, excluding any deposit accounts held by Borrower in its capacity as trustee for Persons who are not Affiliates of Borrower. Without implying any limitation on any other rights Lender may have under the Financing Documents or applicable Laws, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized by each Borrower at any time and from time to time, without notice to, or consent of, Borrower, to set off, appropriate, seize, freeze and apply any or all items hereinabove referred to against all Obligations then outstanding (whether or not then due), all in such order and manner as shall be determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

2.5.7 Requirements of Law.

In the event that Lender shall have determined in good faith that (a) the adoption of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, or (b) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof or (c) compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or any corporation controlling Lender, as a consequence of the obligations of Lender hereunder to a level below that which Lender or any corporation controlling Lender would have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender and the corporation controlling Lender, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Lender, in its discretion, to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Lender to Borrowers of a written request therefor and a statement of the basis for Lender’s determination, Borrowers shall pay to Lender ON DEMAND such additional amount or amounts in order to compensate Lender or its controlling corporation for any such reduction.

2.5.8 Guaranty.

(a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees (except to the extent such guarantee is an Excluded Swap Obligation with respect such Borrower) to Lender:

(i) the due and punctual payment in full (and not merely the collectability) by the other Borrowers of the Obligations, including unpaid and accrued interest thereon, in each case when due and payable, all

according to the terms of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Financing Documents;

(ii) the due and punctual payment in full (and not merely the collectability) by the other Borrowers of all other sums and charges which may at any time be due and payable in accordance with this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Financing Documents;

(iii) the due and punctual performance by the other Borrowers of all of the other terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Financing Documents; and

(iv) all the other Obligations of the other Borrowers.

(b) The obligations and liabilities of each Borrower as a guarantor under this Section 2.5.8 shall be absolute and unconditional and joint and several, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, priority, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the Notes or any of the Financing Documents or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. Each Borrower in its capacity as a guarantor expressly agrees that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to or further assent of such Borrower and without in any way releasing, affecting or in any way impairing the joint and several obligations and liabilities of such Borrower as a guarantor hereunder:

(i) waive compliance with, or any defaults under, or grant any other indulgences under or with respect to any of the Financing Documents;

(ii) modify, amend, change or terminate any provisions of any of the Financing Documents;

(vii) make future advances pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents;

(viii) assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer the Commitments, the Obligations, the Notes, any of the other Financing Documents or any interest therein, all as and to the extent permitted by the provisions of this Agreement;

(ix) deal in all respects with the other Borrowers as if this Section 2.5.8 were not in effect;

(x) effect any release, compromise or settlement with any of the other Borrowers, whether in their capacity as a Borrower or as a guarantor under this Section 2.5.8, or any other guarantor; and

(xi) provide debtor-in-possession financing or allow use of cash collateral in proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, it being expressly agreed by all Borrowers that any such financing and/or use would be part of the Obligations.

(c) The obligations and liabilities of each Borrower, as guarantor under this Section 2.5.8, shall be primary, direct and immediate, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, recoupment, set off, reduction or defense based upon any claim that a Borrower may have against any one or more of the other Borrowers, Lender, and/or any other guarantor and shall not be conditional or contingent upon pursuit or enforcement by Lender of any remedies it may have against Borrowers with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Financing Documents, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or by operation of law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall not be required to make any demand upon any of Borrowers, or to sell the Collateral or otherwise pursue, enforce or exhaust its remedies against Borrowers or the Collateral either before, concurrently with or after pursuing or enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder. Any one or more successive or concurrent actions or proceedings may be brought against each Borrower under this Section 2.5.8, either in the same action, if any, brought against any one or more of Borrowers or in separate actions or proceedings, as often as Lender may deem expedient or advisable. Without limiting the foregoing, it is specifically understood that any modification, limitation or discharge of any of the liabilities or obligations of any one or more of Borrowers, any other guarantor or any obligor under any of the Financing Documents, arising out of, or by virtue of, any bankruptcy, arrangement, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law initiated by or against any one or more of Borrowers, in their respective capacities as borrowers and guarantors under this Section 2.5.8, or under any of the Financing Documents shall not modify, limit, lessen, reduce, impair, discharge, or otherwise affect the liability of each Borrower under this Section 2.5.8 in any manner whatsoever, and this Section 2.5.8 shall remain and continue in full force and effect. It is the intent and purpose of this Section 2.5.8 that each Borrower shall and does hereby waive all rights and benefits which might accrue to any other guarantor by reason of any such proceeding, and Borrowers agree that they shall be liable for the full amount of the obligations and liabilities under this Section 2.5.8, regardless of, and irrespective to, any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of any one or more of

Borrowers, any other guarantor or any obligor under any of the Financing Documents, that may result from any such proceedings.

(d) Each Borrower, as guarantor under this Section 2.5.8, hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, irrevocably and expressly waives:

(i) presentment and demand for payment of the Obligations and protest of non-payment;

(ii) notice of acceptance of this Section 2.5.8 and of presentment, demand and protest thereof;

(iii) notice of any default hereunder or under the Notes or any of the other Financing Documents and notice of all indulgences;

(iv) notice of any increase in the amount of any portion of or all of the indebtedness guaranteed by this Section 2.5.8;

(v) demand for observance, performance or enforcement of any of the terms or provisions of this Section 2.5.8, the Notes or any of the other Financing Documents;

(vi) all errors and omissions in connection with Lender’s administration of all indebtedness guaranteed by this Section 2.5.8, except errors and omissions resulting from acts of bad faith;

(vii) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of any one or more of the other Borrowers;

(viii) any act or omission of Lender which changes the scope of the risk as guarantor hereunder; and

(ix) all other notices and demands otherwise required by law which Borrower may lawfully waive.

Within ten (10) days following any request of Lender so to do, each Borrower will furnish Lender and such other persons as Lender may direct with a written certificate, duly acknowledged stating in detail whether or not any credits, offsets or defenses exist with respect to this Section 2.5.8.

(e) Each Borrower that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor (as defined below) hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds and other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Section 2.5.8 and the other Financing Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Financing Documents, voidable under Debtor Relief Laws and not for any greater

amount). Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section, “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Credit Party that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

2.5.9 ACH Transactions and Swap Contracts.

Borrowers may request and Lender or its Affiliates may, in their sole and absolute discretion, provide ACH Transactions and Swap Contracts. In the event a Borrower requests Lender or its Affiliates to procure ACH Transactions or Swap Contracts, then such Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender or its Affiliates harmless from any and all obligations now or hereafter owing to Lender or its Affiliates in connection with such ACH Transactions or Swap Contracts other than obligations arising as a result of Lender’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrowers agree to pay Lender or its Affiliates all amounts owing to Lender or its Affiliates pursuant to ACH Transactions and Swap Contracts. In the event Borrowers shall not have paid to Lender or its Affiliates such amounts, Lender may cover such amounts by an advance under the Revolving Loan, which advance shall be deemed to have been requested by Borrowers. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of ACH Transactions and Swap Contracts from Lender or its Affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender or its Affiliates and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of Lender or its Affiliates.

2.5.10 Termination of Revolving Credit Facility.

Borrowers shall have the right to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment, in whole or in part, upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Lender, without any premium or penalty; provided, however, that all Outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations shall be secured as provided in Section 2.2.3 (Terms of Letters of Credit) and that the Obligations with respect to the Term Loan shall have been sooner paid in full.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion from time to time, exercise any one or more of the following rights, powers or remedies:

7.2.1 Acceleration.

Lender may declare any or all of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents to the contrary, without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest or of dishonor, or other notice of any kind, all of which Borrowers hereby waive.

7.2.2 Further Advances.

Lender may from time to time without notice to Borrowers suspend, terminate or limit any further advances, loans or other extensions of credit under the Commitments, under this Agreement and/or under any of the other Financing Documents. Further, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default specified in Section 7.1.6 (Receiver; Bankruptcy) or Section 7.1.7 (Involuntary Bankruptcy, etc.), the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Term Loan Commitment and any agreement in any of the Financing Documents to provide additional credit and/or to

issue Letters of Credit shall immediately and automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of the Notes (with accrued interest thereon) and all other Obligations then outstanding, shall immediately become due and payable without further action of any kind and without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers.

7.2.3 Uniform Commercial Code.

Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws. Upon demand by Lender, Borrowers shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender, at a place designated by Lender. Subject to the terms of any applicable leases, Lender or its agents may without notice from time to time enter upon any Borrower’s premises to take possession of the Collateral, to remove it, to render it unusable, to process it or otherwise prepare it for sale, or to sell or otherwise dispose of it.

Any written notice of the sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral which is sent by regular mail, postage prepaid, to Borrowers at the address set forth in Section 8.1 (Notices), or such other address of Borrowers which may from time to time be shown on Lender’s records, at least ten (10) days prior to such sale, disposition or other action, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrowers. Lender may alternatively or additionally give such notice in any other commercially reasonable manner. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Lender to give any notice not required by applicable Laws.

If any consent, approval, or authorization of any state, municipal or other Governmental Authority or of any other Person or of any Person having any interest therein, should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, each Borrower agrees to execute all such applications and other instruments, and to take all other action, as may be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization.

Borrowers recognize that Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral consisting of Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable Federal and state Laws. Lender may, therefore, in its discretion, take such steps as it may deem appropriate to comply with such Laws and may, for example, at any sale of the Collateral consisting of securities restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers as to their number, nature of business and investment intention, including, without limitation, a requirement that the Persons making such purchases represent and agree to the satisfaction of Lender that they are purchasing such securities for their account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale of any thereof. Borrowers covenant and agree to do or cause to be done promptly all such acts and things as Lender may request from time to time and as may be necessary to offer and/or sell the securities or any part thereof in a manner which is valid and binding and in conformance with all applicable Laws. Upon any such sale or disposition, Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral consisting of securities so sold.

7.2.4 Specific Rights With Regard to Collateral.

In addition to all other rights and remedies provided hereunder or as shall exist at law or in equity from time to time, Lender may (but shall be under no obligation to), without notice to any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with power of substitution, in the name of Lender and/or in the name of Borrower for the use and benefit of Lender, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers and without notice to Borrowers:

(a) request any Account Debtor obligated on any of the Accounts to make payments thereon directly to Lender, with Lender taking control of the Proceeds thereof;

(b) compromise, extend or renew any of the Collateral or deal with the same as it may deem advisable;

(d) copy, transcribe, or remove from any place of business of any Borrower or any Subsidiary all books, records, ledger sheets, correspondence, invoices and documents, relating to or evidencing any of the Collateral or without cost or expense to Lender, subject to the terms of any applicable leases, make such use of any Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s place(s) of business as may be reasonably necessary to administer, control and collect the Collateral;

(e) repair, alter or supply goods if necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Account Debtor;

(f) demand, collect, receipt for and give renewals, extensions, discharges and releases of any of the Collateral;

(g) institute and prosecute legal and equitable proceedings to enforce collection of, or realize upon, any of the Collateral;

(h) settle, renew, extend, compromise, compound, exchange or adjust claims in respect of any of the Collateral or any legal proceedings brought in respect thereof;

(i) endorse or sign the name of any Borrower upon any Items of Payment, certificates of title, Instruments, Investment Property, stock powers, documents, documents of title, financing statements, assignments, notices, or other writing relating to or part of the Collateral and on any proof of claim in bankruptcy against an Account Debtor;

(j) clear Inventory through customs in Lender’s or, as applicable, any Borrower’s name and to sign and deliver to customs officials powers of attorney in any Borrower’s name for such purpose;

(k) notify the Post Office authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to any Borrower to such address or Post Office Box as Lender may designate and receive and open all mail addressed to such Borrower; and

(l) take any other action necessary or beneficial to realize upon or dispose of the Collateral or to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

7.2.5 Application of Proceeds.

Any proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Collateral will be applied by Lender to the payment first of any and all Enforcement Costs, and any balance of such proceeds will be applied to the Obligations in such order and manner as Lender shall determine. If the sale or other disposition of the Collateral fails to fully satisfy the Obligations, Borrowers shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency.

7.2.6 Performance by Lender.

Lender without notice to or demand upon Borrowers and without waiving or releasing any of the Obligations or any Default or Event of Default, may (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Borrowers, and may enter upon the premises of Borrowers for that purpose and take all such action thereon as Lender may consider necessary or appropriate for such purpose, subject to the terms of any applicable leases, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact to do so, with power of substitution, in the name of Lender, in the name of Borrowers or otherwise, for the use and benefit of Lender, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers and without notice to Borrowers. All sums so paid or advanced by Lender together with interest thereon from the date of payment, advance or incurring until paid in full at the Post-Default Rate and all costs and expenses, shall be deemed part of the Enforcement Costs, shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender on demand, and shall constitute and become a part of the Obligations.

7.2.7 Other Remedies.

Lender may from time to time proceed to protect or enforce its rights by an action or actions at law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any of the covenants contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Financing Documents, or for an injunction against the violation of any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, or in aid of the exercise or execution of any right, remedy or power granted in this Agreement, the Financing Documents, and/or applicable Laws. Lender is authorized to offset and apply to all or any part of the Obligations all moneys, credits and other property of any nature whatsoever of Borrowers now or at any time hereafter in the possession of, in transit to or from, under the control or custody of, or on deposit with, Lender or any Affiliate of Lender.

Section 8.3 Cumulative Remedies.

The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement and in the other Financing Documents are cumulative, may be exercised concurrently or separately, may be exercised from time to time and in such order as Lender shall determine, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, rights, powers and remedies provided by existing or future applicable Laws.

By inspecting the Collateral or any other properties of Borrowers or by accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled by Borrowers or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, Lender shall not

be deemed to have warranted or represented the condition, sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, and such acceptance or approval shall not constitute any warranty or representation with respect thereto by Lender.

Section 8.20 Indemnification.

Each Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, Lender, Lender’s parent and Affiliates and Lender’s parent’s and Affiliates’ officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party,” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, penalties, damages, costs and expenses (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to any litigation), including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs and costs of investigation, document production, attendance at depositions or other discovery, incurred by any Indemnified Party with respect to, arising out of or as a consequence of (a) this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, including without limitation, any failure of Borrowers to pay when due (at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, fee or any other amount due under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, or any other Event of Default (b) the use by Borrowers of any proceeds advanced hereunder; (c) the transactions contemplated hereunder; or (d) any claim, investigation, demand, action, cause of action litigation or other proceeding (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Financing Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, no Borrower shall be obligated to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Party from any liability, loss or damage resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful actions of such Indemnified Party. Any amount payable to Lender or any other Indemnified Party under this Section will be due upon incurrence and payable no later than five (5) Business Days after demand) and will bear interest at the Post-Default Rate from the due date until paid.

Section 8.21 Confidentiality.

Lender understands that some of the information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents may be received by it prior to the time that such information shall have been made public, and Lender hereby agrees that it will keep, and will direct its officers and employees to keep, all the information provided to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents confidential prior to its becoming public subject, however, to (a) disclosure to officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, auditors, consultants, advisors, lawyers and Affiliates of Lender, in the ordinary course of business, (b) disclosure to such officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of a prospective assignee or participant as need to know such information in connection with the evaluation of a possible participation in the Commitment (who will be informed of the confidential nature of the material), or (c) the obligations of Lender or a participant under applicable Law, or pursuant to subpoenas or other legal process, to make information available to governmental agencies and examiners or to others and the right of Lender to use such information in proceedings to enforce their rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Financing Documents or in any

proceeding against Lender in connection with this Agreement or under any other Financing Document or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Lender, Borrowers and any assignee or participant hereunder (and each employee, representative or other agent of such parties) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the tax structure of the transaction; provided, however, that no such Person shall disclose any information that is not relevant to understanding the tax treatment and structure of the transaction (including the identity of any party and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of any party), or any information to the extent that such disclosure could result in a violation of any federal or state securities law or any stock exchange regulation.

Section 8.22 Compliance with Laws.

No Borrower is a Sanctioned Person and no Borrower has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or does business in or with, or derives any of its operating income from investments in or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Countries in violation of economic sanctions administered by OFAC. The proceeds from the Credit Facilities will not be used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country.

Section 8.23 Electronic Transmission of Data.

Lender and Borrowers agree that certain data related to the Credit Facilities (including confidential information, documents, applications and reports) may be transmitted electronically, including transmission over the Internet. This data may be transmitted to, received from or circulated among agents and representatives of Borrowers and/or Lender and their Affiliates and other Persons involved with the subject matter of this Agreement. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a) there are risks associated with the use of electronic transmission and that Lender does not control the method of transmittal or service providers, (b) Lender has no obligation or responsibility whatsoever and assumes no duty or obligation for the security, receipt or third party interception of any such transmission, and (c) Borrowers will release, hold harmless and indemnify Lender from any claim, damage or loss, including that arising in whole or part from Lender’s strict liability or sole, comparative or contributory negligence, which is related to the electronic transmission of data.

Section 8.24 Arbitration.

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, whether made before the institution of a judicial proceeding or not more than 60 days after service of a complaint, third party complaint, cross-claim, counterclaim or any answer thereto or any amendment to any of the above, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the Financing Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution,

formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit; provided, however, that subject to subsection (c) below, nothing herein shall preclude or limit Lender’s right to confess judgment; and provided, further, that no party shall have the right to demand binding arbitration of any claim, dispute or controversy seeking to open a judgment obtained by confession.

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in Maryland selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. Nothing in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the arbitration requirement, shall limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral, or exercise power of sale rights; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver; or (iv) confess judgment. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) (iii) and (iv) of this subsection.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Maryland or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Maryland, in either case with a minimum of ten years’ experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Maryland and may

grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Maryland Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than twenty (20) days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Financing Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Financing Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This Agreement may be amended or modified only in writing signed by each party hereto. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or any remaining provisions of this Agreement. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Financing Documents or any relationship between the parties.

(i) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in which either

party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.
