TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITIES

Part A — Terms of Lending

Section 2.1 Lending Commitments. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each Bank severally agrees to make a revolving credit facility available as loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower on a revolving basis at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date to the Revolving Loan Termination Date, during which period the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, that no Revolving Loan will be made in any amount which, after giving effect thereto, would cause the Total Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts. Revolving Loans hereunder shall be made by the several Banks ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages. Revolving Loans may be obtained and maintained, at the election of the Borrower but subject to the limitations hereof, as Base Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances.

Section 2.2 Procedure for Loans. Any request by the Borrower for Revolving Loans hereunder shall be in writing or by telephone and must be given so as to be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Minneapolis time) two Eurodollar Business Days prior to the requested Revolving Loan Date if the Revolving Loans (or any portion thereof) are requested as Eurodollar Rate Advances and not later than 11:00 A.M. (Minneapolis time) on the requested Revolving Loan Date if the Revolving Loans are requested as Base Rate Advances. Each request for Revolving Loans hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed a representation by the Borrower that on the requested Revolving Loan Date and after giving effect to the requested Revolving Loans the applicable conditions specified in Article III have been and will be satisfied.

Each request for Revolving Loans hereunder shall specify (a) the requested Revolving Loan Date, (b) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans to be made on such date which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 for Base Rate Advances or $5,000,000 for Eurodollar Rate Advances, (c) whether such Revolving Loans are to be funded as Base Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances (and, if such Revolving Loans are to be made with more than one applicable interest rate choice, specifying the amount to which each interest rate choice is applicable) and (d) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; provided, that no Revolving Loans shall be funded as Eurodollar Rate Advances if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Agent may rely on any telephone request by the Borrower for Revolving Loans hereunder which it believes in good faith to be genuine; and the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Agent’s record of the terms of such telephone request. The Agent shall promptly notify each other Bank of the receipt of such request, the matters specified therein, and of such Bank’s ratable share of the requested Revolving Loans. On the date of the requested Revolving Loans, each Bank shall provide its share of the requested Revolving Loans to the Agent in Immediately Available Funds not later than 1:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time).

Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent will make available to the Borrower at the Agent’s principal office in Minneapolis, Minnesota in Immediately Available Funds not later than 2:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time) on the requested Revolving Loan Date the amount of the requested Revolving Loans. If the Agent has made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower on behalf of a Bank but has not received the amount of such Revolving Loan from such Bank by the time herein required, such Bank shall pay interest to the Agent on the amount so advanced at the overnight Federal Funds rate from the

date of such Revolving Loan to the date funds are received by the Agent from such Bank, such interest to be payable with such remittance from such Bank of the principal amount of such Revolving Loan (provided, that the Agent shall not make any Revolving Loan on behalf of a Bank if the Agent has received prior notice from such Bank that it will not make such Revolving Loan). If the Agent does not receive payment from such Bank by the next Business Day after the date of any Revolving Loan, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such Revolving Loan, with interest thereon at the rate (or rates) then applicable to such Revolving Loan, on demand, from the Borrower, without prejudice to the Agent’s and the Borrower’s rights against such Bank. If such Bank pays the Agent the amount herein required with interest at the overnight Federal Funds rate before the Agent has recovered from the Borrower, such Bank shall be entitled to the interest payable by the Borrower with respect to the Revolving Loan in question accruing from the date the Agent made such Revolving Loan.

Section 2.3 Revolving Notes. The Revolving Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Revolving Note payable to the order of such Bank in a principal amount equal to such Bank’s Revolving Commitment Amount originally in effect. Upon receipt of each Bank’s Note from the Borrower, the Agent shall mail such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall enter in its ledgers and records the amount of each Revolving Loan, the various Advances made, converted or continued and the payments made thereon, and each Bank is authorized by the Borrower to enter on a schedule attached to its Revolving Note a record of such Revolving Loans, Advances and payments; provided, that the failure by any Bank to make any such entry or any error in making such entry shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder and on the Revolving Notes, and, in all events, the principal amounts owing by the Borrower in respect of the Revolving Notes shall be the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans made by the Banks less all payments of principal thereof made by the Borrower.

Section 2.4 Conversions and Continuations. On the terms and subject to the limitations hereof, the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time to convert all or any portion of the Advances into Base Rate Advances or Eurodollar Rate Advances, or to continue a Eurodollar Rate Advance as such; provided, that a Eurodollar Rate Advance may be converted or continued only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and no Advance may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Rate Advance if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the proposed date of continuation or conversion. Advances may be converted to, or continued as, Eurodollar Rate Advances only in the aggregate minimum amount of the Advances of all Banks so converted or continued, of $5,000,000. The Borrower shall give the Agent written notice of any continuation or conversion of any Advances and such notice must be given so as to be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Minneapolis time) two Eurodollar Business Days prior to requested date of conversion or continuation in the case of the continuation of, or conversion to, Eurodollar Rate Advances and on the date of the requested conversion to Base Rate Advances. Each such notice shall specify (a) the amount to be continued or converted, (b) the date for the continuation or conversion (which must be (i) the last day of the preceding Interest Period for any continuation or conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances, and (ii) a Eurodollar Business Day in the case of continuations as or conversions to Eurodollar Rate Advances and a Business Day in the case of conversions to Base Rate Advances), and (c) in the case of conversions to or continuations as Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Interest Period applicable thereto. Any notice given by the Borrower under this Section shall be irrevocable. If the Borrower shall fail to notify the Agent of

the continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Advances within the time required by this Section, at the option of the Agent, such Advances shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (A) automatically be continued as Eurodollar Rate Advances with the same principal amount and the same Interest Period or (B) automatically be converted into Base Rate Advances with the same principal amount. All conversions and continuation of Advances must be made uniformly and ratably among the Banks. (E.g., when continuing a two-month Eurodollar Rate Advance of one Bank to a three-month Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower must simultaneously continue all two-month Eurodollar Rate Advances of all Banks having Interest Periods ending on the date of continuation as three-month Eurodollar Rate Advances.)

Section 2.5 Interest Rates, Interest Payments and Default Interest. Interest shall accrue and be payable on the Revolving Loans as follows:

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Eurodollar Rate Advance shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof during the Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus (B) the Applicable Margin.

(b) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a varying rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate plus (B) the Applicable Margin.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Advance shall, at the option of the Agent or at the direction of the Majority Banks, bear interest until paid in full at a rate equal to 2.00% plus the rate that would otherwise be applicable to such Advance (the “Default Rate”).

(d) Interest shall be payable (i) with respect to each Eurodollar Rate Advance having an Interest Period of three months or less, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance having an Interest Period greater than three months, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and on the last day of each calendar quarter included in such Interest Period; (iii) with respect to any Base Rate Advance, on the last day of each month; (iv) with respect to all Advances, upon any permitted prepayment (on the amount prepaid); and (v) on the Revolving Loan Termination Date; provided, that interest under paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand.

Section 2.6 Repayment and Mandatory Prepayment.

(a) The Revolving Loans. The unpaid principal balance of all Revolving Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Revolving Loan Termination Date. If at any time Total Revolving Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts, the Borrower shall immediately repay to the Agent for the account of the Banks the amount of such excess. Any such payments shall be applied first against Base Rate Advances and then to Eurodollar Rate Advances in order starting with the Eurodollar Rate Advances having the shortest time to the end of the applicable Interest Period. If, after payment of all outstanding Advances,

the Total Revolving Outstandings still exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts, the remaining amount paid by the Borrower shall be placed in the Holding Account.

(b) Pay Down of Revolving Loans. In addition to all other payments upon the Swingline Loans or the Revolving Loans required by this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay the Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans by the amount of Net Proceeds received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary from the incurrence of any Indebtedness for borrowed money permitted by Section 6.11 (other than Purchase Money Indebtedness) or the consummation of sale-leaseback transactions permitted by Section 6.18(b); provided, that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may retain up to $10,000,000 of such Net Proceeds from each such underlying transaction. Any such payments shall be applied first against Swingline Loans and then to Revolving Loans and any payments applied to the Revolving Loans shall be applied first against Base Rate Advances and then to Eurodollar Rate Advances in order starting with the Eurodollar Rate Advances having the shortest time to the end of the applicable Interest Period.

Section 2.7 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay Advances, in whole or in part, at any time, without premium or penalty, except as set forth below. Each partial prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000. All partial prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be applied pro rata based on the unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans. Amounts paid (unless following an acceleration or upon termination of the Revolving Commitments in whole) or prepaid on the Revolving Loans under this Section 2.7 may be reborrowed upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement.

Part B-Terms of the Letter of Credit Facility

Section 2.8 Letter of Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, USBNA agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time on terms reasonably acceptable to USBNA on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof and ending on the Revolving Loan Termination Date; provided, that USBNA shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance: (a) the Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed $20,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit Commitment Amount”); or (ii) the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts; provided, further, that no Letter of Credit will be issued if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The obligation of USBNA to issue any Letter of Credit shall terminate on the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

Section 2.9 Procedures for Letters of Credit. Each request for a Letter of Credit shall be made by the Borrower in writing, by telex, facsimile transmission or electronic conveyance received by USBNA by 2:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time) on a Business Day which is not less than one Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance (which shall also be a Business Day). Each request for a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a representation by the Borrower that on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and after giving effect thereto the applicable conditions specified in Article III have been and will be satisfied. USBNA may require that such request be made on such letter of credit application form as USBNA may from time to time specify, along with satisfactory evidence of the authority and incumbency of the officials of the Borrower

making such request. USBNA shall promptly notify the other Banks of the receipt of the request and the matters specified therein. On the date of each issuance of a Letter of Credit, USBNA shall send notice to the other Banks of such issuance, and if requested by a Bank, a copy of the Letter or Letters of Credit so issued. Concurrently with the issuance of each Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement, USBNA shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from USBNA, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation (a “Letter of Credit Participation”) in each Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto and any security therefor in the amount of such Bank’s Revolving Percentage of such Letter of Credit Obligations. USBNA shall retain its individual Letter of Credit Participation in the amount of its Revolving Percentage in each Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto and any security therefor.

Section 2.10 Terms of Letters of Credit. Letters of Credit shall be issued in support of obligations of the Borrower. All Letters of Credit must be issued no less than 10 days prior to the Revolving Loan Termination Date and all Letters of Credit must expire no later than 12 months after the Revolving Loan Termination Date. As to each Letter of Credit which is outstanding as of the Revolving Loan Termination Date, the Borrower shall provide either (A) cash collateral in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (but in no event less than 105% of the stated undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit) for deposit into the Holding Account, or (B) one or more irrevocable letters of credit in form and substance, and issued by a bank, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent pursuant to which USBNA is entitled to recover the maximum amount at any time payable under each outstanding Letter of Credit, plus all costs and fees then or thereafter payable with respect to such Letter of Credit under the terms of this Agreement, provided further that, in the event the Borrower fails to provide such cash collateral or one or more letters of credit satisfactory to the Agent, the Banks shall make Revolving Loans ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages of the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit outstanding on the Revolving Loan Termination Date, and deposit the proceeds of such Revolving Loans into the Holding Account.

Section 2.11 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. The Borrower agrees to pay to USBNA on demand at USBNA’s address shown on the signature page hereof: (a) the amount of each draft or other request for payment drawn under any Letter of Credit (whether drawn before, on or after its stated expiry date), and (b) interest on all amounts referred to in clause (a) above from the date of such draw until payment in full at a fluctuating rate per annum at all times equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2.00%; provided, that so long as the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2.1 and Article III are satisfied as of the date of any draw under the Letter of Credit, the Banks will make (and the Borrower does here so authorize each Bank to make) Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2 to pay any draw under a Letter of Credit. USBNA shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Bank of each demand for payment under a Letter of Credit and of the date on which such payment is to be made and the amount of such Bank’s Revolving Loan to be made pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.11, if any.

In the event that the Borrower fails to reimburse USBNA for any drawing on any Letter of Credit on the date of such drawing through Revolving Loans or otherwise, then, by not later than 1:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time), on such date, each Bank shall fund its Letter of Credit

Participation in such Letter of Credit drawing by paying to USBNA, in Immediately Available Funds, such Bank’s Revolving Percentage of such demand for payment which the Borrower has not paid to USBNA. Each Bank’s obligation to make such amounts available to USBNA shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances except where the Borrower is not liable to USBNA for payment of a draw on a Letter of Credit under Section 2.12. If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made such amount available to USBNA on any such date, such Bank agrees, upon demand, to pay interest on such amount to USBNA for the account of USBNA for each day from and including the date on which such payment was to be made to but excluding the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, based upon a year of 360 days. Any Bank’s failure to make available to USBNA its Revolving Percentage of any demand for payment under a Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation to make available to USBNA its Revolving Percentage of such demand for payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make available to USBNA such other Bank’s Revolving Percentage of any such payment.

Whenever, at any time after USBNA has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from another Bank such other Bank’s Revolving Percentage of the unreimbursed portion of such payment, USBNA receives any reimbursement on account of such unreimbursed portion or any payment of interest on account thereof, USBNA will promptly distribute to such other Bank its pro rata share thereof in like funds as received in accordance with Section 8.10; provided, that in the event that USBNA is required to return such reimbursement or such payment of interest (as the case may be), such other Bank will return to USBNA any portion thereof previously distributed to it by USBNA in like funds as such reimbursement or payment is required to be returned by USBNA.

Section 2.12 Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower under Section 2.11 to repay USBNA for any amount drawn on any Letter of Credit and to repay the Banks for any Revolving Loans made under Section 2.10 or 2.11 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, shall continue for so long as any Letter of Credit is outstanding notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following circumstances:

(a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(b) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have or claim at any time against any beneficiary, transferee or holder of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary, transferee or holder may be acting), USBNA or any Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with a Letter of Credit, this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, or any unrelated transaction; or

(c) Any statement or any other document presented under any 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 whatsoever.

None of the Agent, USBNA, any other Bank or the officers, directors or employees thereof shall be liable or responsible for, and the obligations of the Borrower to USBNA and the Banks shall not be impaired by:

(i) The use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of any beneficiary, transferee or holder thereof in connection therewith;

(ii) The validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents or endorsements should, in fact, prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;

(iii) The acceptance by USBNA of documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; or

(iv) Any other action of USBNA in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit if in good faith and in conformity with U.S. or foreign laws, regulations or customs applicable thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall have a claim against USBNA, and USBNA shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower prove were caused by USBNA’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

Section 2.13 Indemnification by Banks. The Banks severally agree to indemnify USBNA acting in its capacity as issuer of the Letters of Credit, and each officer, director, employee, agent and affiliate of USBNA (herein collectively called “LC Issuer Parties” and individually called a “LC Issuer Party”), ratably according to their respective Revolving Percentages, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of any of the Letter of Credit Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against USBNA in any way relating to or arising out of the issuance of or payment or failure to pay under the Letter of Credit or the use of proceeds of any payment made under the Letter of Credit; provided, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to USBNA of any portion of such claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever resulting from USBNA’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. All obligations provided for in this Section 2.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Part C-Terms of the Swingline Loan Facility

Section 2.14 Swingline Loan Commitment.

(a) Swingline Loan Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Swingline Bank, in its individual capacity agrees to make a revolving credit facility available as loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline

Loans”) to the Borrower on a revolving basis at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date to the Revolving Loan Termination Date, during which period the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided, however that no Swingline Loan will be made in any amount which, after giving effect thereto, would cause the: (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans to exceed $20,000,000 (the “Swingline Commitment Amount”); or (ii) Total Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts. Swingline Loans may be obtained and maintained as Base Rate Advances unless the Swingline Bank agrees to different interest rate; provided, that: (v) the Swingline Bank may not agree to a different rate if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (vi) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Swingline Loans shall, at the option of USBNA, bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to Default Rate in effect for Base Rate Advances with respect to any Swingline Loan that has been made as a Base Rate Advance or, if any Swingline Loan accrues interest at a different rate, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of such rate plus 2.00%. Accrued interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the last day of each calendar month or, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on demand.

(b) Procedure for Swingline Loans. Any request by the Borrower for Swingline Loans hereunder shall be in writing or by telephone and must be given so as to be received by the Swingline Bank not later than 1:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time) on the requested Swingline Loan Date or, if the requested Swingline Loan will accrue interest at a rate other than the rate applicable to Base Rate Advance, as may be required by the Swingline Bank. Each request for Swingline Loans hereunder shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed a representation by the Borrower that on the requested Swingline Loan Date and after giving effect to the requested Swingline Loans the applicable conditions specified in Article III have been and will be satisfied. Each request for Swingline Loans hereunder shall specify (i) the requested Swingline Loan Date, and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans to be made on such date which shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000. The Swingline Bank may rely on any telephone request by the Borrower for Swingline Loans hereunder which it believes in good faith to be genuine; and the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Swingline Bank’s record of the terms of such telephone request. On the date of the requested Swingline Loans, the Swingline Bank, unless the Swingline Bank determines, or has been notified by the Agent that the Agent has determined, that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Swingline Bank will make available to the Borrower at the Swingline Bank’s principal office in Minneapolis, Minnesota in Immediately Available Funds not later than 2:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time) on the requested Swingline Loan Date the amount of the requested Swingline Loans.

(c) Swingline Note. The Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by a single Swingline Note payable to the order of the Swingline Bank in a principal amount equal to the Swingline Commitment Amount as originally in effect. The Swingline Bank shall enter in its ledgers and records the amount of each Swingline Loan, the various Swingline Loans made, the interest on each Swingline Loan and the payments made thereon, and the Swingline Bank is authorized by the Borrower to enter on a schedule attached to its

Swingline Note a record of such Swingline Loans, the interest rate thereon and payments; provided, that the failure by the Swingline Bank to make any such entry or any error in making such entry shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder and on the Swingline Note, and, in all events, the principal amounts owing by the Borrower in respect of the Swingline Note shall be the aggregate amount of all Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Bank less all payments of principal thereof made by the Borrower.

(d) Repayment of Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan borrowing shall be due and payable on the Revolving Loan Termination Date. The Borrower may prepay all or a portion of any Swingline Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Swingline Bank may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower, the Agent and the Banks, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan borrowing, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Advances in the amount of such Swingline Loans; provided, that, in the following circumstances, any such demand shall also be deemed to have been given one Business Day prior to each of (i) the Revolving Loan Termination Date, (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.1(f); (iii) upon acceleration of the Obligations hereunder, whether on account of an Event of Default described in Section 7.1 or any other Event of Default, and (iv) the exercise of remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.2 hereof (each such Revolving Loan borrowing made on account of any such deemed request therefor as provided herein being hereinafter referred to as “Mandatory Swingline Borrowing”).

Each Bank hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans ratably in accordance with its Revolving Percentage promptly upon any such request or deemed request on account of each Mandatory Swingline Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the same such date notwithstanding (x) the amount of Mandatory Swingline Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for borrowings of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (xi) whether any conditions specified in Section 2.2 are then satisfied, (xii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (xiii) failure of any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loans to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.2, (xiv) the date of such Mandatory Swingline Borrowing, or (xv) any reduction in the Revolving Commitment Amounts or termination of the Revolving Commitments immediately prior to such Mandatory Swingline Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith.

In the event that any Mandatory Swingline Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), then each Bank hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Bank such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Bank to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its respective Revolving Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving

Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2); provided, that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Bank until the date as of which the respective participation is purchased, and (B) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Bank shall be required to pay to the Swingline Bank interest on the principal amount of such participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Swingline Borrowing purchase occurs hereunder to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

Part D — General

Section 2.15 Optional Reduction of Revolving Commitment Amounts or Termination of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower may, at any time, upon not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice from the Borrower to the Agent, reduce the Revolving Commitment Amounts, ratably, with any such reduction in a minimum aggregate amount for all the Banks of $10,000,000, or, if more, in an integral multiple of $1,000,000; provided, that the Borrower may not at any time reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts below the Total Revolving Outstandings. The Borrower may, at any time when there are no Swingline Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding, upon not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice from the Borrower to the Agent, terminate the Commitments in their entirety. Upon termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks the full amount of all outstanding Advances, all outstanding Swingline Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all unpaid Revolving Commitment Fees accrued to the date of such termination, any indemnities payable with respect to Advances pursuant to Section 2.26 and all other unpaid Obligations of the Borrower to the Agent, the Swingline Bank and the Banks hereunder.

Section 2.16 Fees. On or before the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent the fees set forth in the separate letter agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Agent Fee Letter”) between the Agent and the Borrower. Such fees shall be paid on the Closing Date and at such other times as may be required pursuant to the terms of such Agent Letter Agreement. The Agent may separately agree with any Bank to pay a portion of such fees to such Bank, but shall not be obligated to pay such portion to such Bank unless and until the same is received from the Borrower.

Section 2.17 Revolving Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of each Bank ratably in accordance with its Revolving Percentage, a fee (the “Revolving Commitment Fees”) in an amount determined by applying the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fees Percentage to the average daily average daily Unused Revolving Commitment amount of each Bank. Such Revolving Commitment Fees shall be payable to the Agent in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the date of this Agreement, and on the Revolving Loan Termination Date.

Section 2.18 Letter of Credit Fees. For each Letter of Credit issued, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks, in arrears, payable on the last day of each calendar quarter, a fee (a “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount determined by applying a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect on such date to the

average daily face amount of such Letter of Credit during such calendar quarter. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, on demand, all issuance, amendment, drawing and other fees regularly charged by the Agent to its letter of credit customers and a fronting fee at the per annum rate of one eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the face amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from the date of issuance to the scheduled expiration date of such Letter of Credit, and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the issuance, amendment, administration or payment of any Letter of Credit. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the rate used for calculating the Letter of Credit Fee shall equal the rate otherwise applicable thereto plus 2.00%.

Section 2.19 Computation . Revolving Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fee and interest on the Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be computed on the basis of actual days elapsed (or, in the case of fronting or similar fees with respect to Letters of Credit which are paid in advance, actual days to elapse) and a year of 360 days or, in the case of Base Rate Advances, a year of 365 days.

Section 2.20 Payments. Payments and prepayments of principal of, and interest on, the Notes and all fees, expenses and other obligations under this Agreement payable to the Agent or the Banks shall be made without setoff or counterclaim in Immediately Available Funds not later than 1:00 P.M. (Minneapolis time) on the dates called for under this Agreement and the Notes to the Agent at its main office in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Funds received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Agent will promptly distribute in like funds to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment of principal, interest and fees received by the Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or on the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time, in the case of a payment of principal, shall be included in the computation of any interest on such principal payment; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of a Eurodollar Rate Advance to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

Section 2.21 Use of Loan Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit solely as follows:

(a) to refinance the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries Indebtedness described on Schedule 2.21(a) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Non-Permitted Pre-Closing Indebtedness”);

(b) to finance the Borrower’s acquisition, construction and development of real property, improvements and fixtures for use as Clubs;

(d) to finance Permitted Acquisitions; and

(e) to finance the working capital requirements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that arise in the ordinary course of business;

and, in all events, in a manner that does not conflict with any of the Borrower’s covenants in this Agreement.

Section 2.22 Interest Rate Not Ascertainable, Etc. If, on or prior to the date for determining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in respect of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding, absent error) that:

(a) deposits in dollars (in the applicable amount) are not being made available to such Bank in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Bank of funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period,

such Bank shall forthwith give notice to the Borrower and the other Banks of such determination, whereupon the obligation of such Bank to make or continue, or to convert any Advances to, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist. While any such suspension continues, all further Advances by such Bank shall be made as Base Rate Advances. No such suspension shall affect the interest rate then in effect during the applicable Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance outstanding at the time such suspension is imposed.

Section 2.23 Increased Cost.

If any Regulatory Change:

(a) shall subject any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Eurodollar Rate Advances, its Note or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or shall change the basis of taxation of payment to any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Applicable Lending Office or in the rate of branch taxes or doing business taxes (in either case, imposed in lieu of net income taxes)); or

(b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advance any such requirement to the extent included in calculating the applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or against Letters of Credit issued by USBNA or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the interbank Eurodollar market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Rate Advances, its Notes or its obligation to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or affecting any Letter of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Advance or issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note, then, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction. Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If any Bank fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains knowledge of such an event, such Bank shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section, only be entitled to payment under this Section for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Bank does give such notice. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section, setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and stating in reasonable detail the basis for the charge and the method of computation, shall be conclusive in the absence of error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Subject to the 45-day limitation set forth above in this Section 2.23, failure on the part of any Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable with respect to any Interest Period shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s rights to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable in any subsequent Interest Period.

Section 2.24 Illegality.

If any Regulatory Change shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Rate Advances, such Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Agent, whereupon the obligation of such Bank to make or continue, or to convert any Advances to, Eurodollar Rate Advances, shall be suspended until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist. Before giving any such notice, such Bank shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If any Bank determines that it may not lawfully continue to maintain any Eurodollar Rate Advances to the end of the applicable Interest Periods, all of the affected Advances shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Advances as of the date of such Bank’s notice, and upon such conversion the Borrower shall indemnify such Bank in accordance with Section 2.28.

Section 2.25 Capital Adequacy.

In the event that any Regulatory Change reduces or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Bank’s capital or the capital of its parent corporation (by an amount such Bank deems material) as a consequence of its Commitments and/or its Loans and/or any Letters of Credit or any Bank’s obligations to make Advances to cover Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Bank or its parent corporation could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into account such Bank’s policies and the policies of its parent corporation with

respect to capital adequacy), then the Borrower shall, within 30 days after written notice and demand from such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), pay to such Bank additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Bank or its parent corporation for such reduction. If any Bank fails to make such demand within 45 days after it obtains knowledge of such an event, such Bank shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section, only be entitled to payment under this Section for diminished returns as a result of such reduction for the period from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Bank does make such demand. Any determination by any Bank under this Section and any certificate as to the amount of such reduction given to the Borrower by such Bank shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent error.

Section 2.26 Funding Losses; Eurodollar Rate Advances.

The Borrower shall compensate each Bank, upon its written request, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry Eurodollar Rate Advances to the extent not recovered by such Bank in connection with the re-employment of such funds, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Bank may sustain: (a) if for any reason, other than a default by such Bank, a funding of a Eurodollar Rate Advance does not occur on the date specified therefore in the Borrower’s request or notice as to such Advance under Section 2.2, or (b) if, for whatever reason (including, but not limited to, acceleration of the maturity of Advances following an Event of Default), any repayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, or a conversion pursuant to Section 2.24, occurs on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. A Bank’s request for compensation shall set forth the basis for the amount requested and shall be final, conclusive and binding, absent error.

Section 2.27 Discretion of Bank as to Manner of Funding.

Each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of Eurodollar Rate Advances in any manner it may elect, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder (including, but not limited to, determinations under Section 2.26) shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Rate Advances during the Interest Period for such Advance through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to the last day of the Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

Section 2.28 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Agent, taxes imposed on its overall net income and franchise taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). Each Bank will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such

designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such taxes and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or paid by such Bank and the Agent and any penalties, interest and expenses with respect thereto. Payments on this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or the Agent makes written demand therefore.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to on the signature page hereof, a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes by or on behalf of the Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the Borrower determine that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) If the Borrower shall be required by law or regulation to make any deduction, withholding or backup withholding of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, liabilities or similar charges of the United States of America, any possession or territory of the United States of America (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) or any area subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America (“U.S. Taxes”) from any payments to a Bank pursuant to any Loan Document in respect of the Obligations that are then, or thereafter become, payable to such Bank, the Borrower shall make such withholdings or deductions and pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(f) Each Bank that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a “Non-U.S. Bank”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two copies of each U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Bank claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Bank delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Bank is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a ten (10%)

percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Bank on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Bank. Each Non-U.S. Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, a Non-U.S. Bank shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection that such Non-U.S. Bank is not legally able to deliver.

(g) The Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States Federal income tax pursuant to Section 2.28 to any Bank for the account of any Applicable Lending Office of such Bank:

(i) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Bank to comply with its obligations under subsection 2.28(f) in respect of such Applicable Lending Office;

(ii) if such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a Form W-8BEN and/or Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) in respect of such Applicable Lending Office pursuant to subsection 2.28(f), and such Bank shall not at any time be entitled to exemption from deduction or withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of payments by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for any reason other than a change in United States law, treaty or regulations or in the official interpretation of such law or regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of delivery of such Form W-8BEN and/or Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); or

(iii) if such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a Form W-8 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) in respect of such Applicable Lending Office pursuant to subsection 2.28(f), and such Bank shall not at any time be entitled to exemption from deduction or withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of payments by the Borrower hereunder for the account of such Applicable Lending Office for any reason other than a change in the United States law or regulations or any applicable tax treaty or regulations or in the official interpretation of any such law, treaty or regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of delivery of such Form W-8 (or subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto).

(h) The Agent and the Banks agree to use commercially reasonable efforts, upon request by the Borrower and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to assist the Borrower in obtaining a refund that is available to the Borrower of any Taxes paid by the Borrower hereunder; provided that (i) the Agent or Bank of which such request is made determines in its reasonable discretion, that such assistance would not be prejudicial and (ii) if any such refund is subsequently disallowed, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Banks for any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. In the event that the Agent or any Bank receives a refund or tax credit when computing its tax payable in the jurisdiction in which the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, is organized or maintains an Applicable Lending Office, in respect of Taxes paid by the Borrower, the Agent or such Bank shall, to the extent it can do so without jeopardizing its right to such refund or credit, pay over to the Borrower an amount that would leave the Agent or such Bank in the same position as if no such Taxes had been imposed; provided that (i) nothing contained in this Section 2.28(h) shall interfere with the right of the Agent or such Bank to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit, nor require them to disclose any information relating to their tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or to do anything that would prejudice their ability to benefit from any other credits, relief, remissions or repayments to which any of them may be entitled and (ii) if any such refund or tax credit is subsequently disallowed, then the Borrower shall within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of any such disallowance from the Agent or any Bank, return the amount paid to the Borrower under this Section 2.28(h) to the Agent or Banks and indemnify the Agent and Banks for any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.

Section 2.29 Replacement of Bank in Respect of Increased Costs.

Within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Borrower of written notice and demand from any Bank (an “Affected Bank”) for payment of additional costs as provided in Sections 2.23, 2.25 or 2.28, or within forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Borrower of written notice under Sections 2.22 or 2.24, the Borrower may, at its option, notify the Agent and such Affected Bank of the Borrower’s intention to obtain, at the Borrower’s expense, a replacement Bank (a “Replacement Bank”) for such Affected Bank, which Replacement Bank shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. In the event the Borrower obtains a Replacement Bank within ninety (90) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Bank shall sell and assign its Loans and Commitments, at par, to such Replacement Bank in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5 hereof, provided that the Borrower has reimbursed such Affected Bank for its increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment.

Section 2.30 Accordian Feature. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, from time to time and so long as the Borrower is not, or has not been, in Default, the Borrower may request that (i) a Bank increase its Revolving Commitment Amount, or (ii) a bank chartered under the laws of the United States or a commercial finance company or other institutional commercial lender that, in all cases, is acceptable to the Agent (a “New Bank”) be added as a “Bank ” under this Agreement with a Revolving Commitment, for the purpose of increasing the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts; provided, that upon giving effect to any such new Revolving

Commitment, the Revolving Commitment Amount of the New Bank shall not be less than $10,000,000; and provided further, that the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts, after giving effect to any such increased Commitment and/or new Commitment, shall not exceed $250,000,000, reduced by the aggregate amount of the reductions in the Revolving Commitment Amounts pursuant to Section 2.15. The Borrower and each Bank increasing its Revolving Commitment Amount or New Bank shall agree on the date as of which the increased Revolving Commitment Amount or the New Bank’s Revolving Commitment Amount shall become effective, and each New Bank shall execute and deliver an instrument in the form prescribed by Agent (which instrument need not be executed by any other Bank in order to be effective) to evidence its agreement to be bound by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Bank increasing its Revolving Commitment Amount shall execute documentation evidencing such increase. Upon the effective date (the “Increase Date”) of an increase in any Bank’s Revolving Commitment Amount or inclusion of a New Bank as a Bank under this Agreement (the “Subject Bank”), the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and each Bank a notice setting forth the revised Aggregate Commitment Amounts. Further, upon the Increase Date, the Subject Bank shall make Revolving Loans and buy Letter of Credit Participations as calculated by the Agent so that its outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Participations are equal to its respective Revolving Percentage of all Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Participations outstanding on such date and the Agent shall distribute the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the other Banks in accordance with their Revolving Percentages of all Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Date, and each Bank’s Letter of Credit Participations shall be reduced ratably by its Revolving Percentage of the Letter of Credit Participation purchased by the Subject Bank, in each case after giving effect to the increase to the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts upon the Increase Date, but prior to any additional Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or Letter of Credits requested by the Borrower to be made on the Increase Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Bank shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.30.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Banks to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans hereunder and to induce USBNA to issue Letters of Credit, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Banks and the Agent:

Section 4.1 Organization, Standing, Etc. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have all requisite power and authority to carry on their respective businesses as now conducted and, in the case of the Borrower, to enter into this Agreement and to issue the Notes and to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries: (a) hold all certificates of authority, licenses and permits necessary to carry on their respective businesses as presently conducted in each jurisdiction in which such Person is carrying on such business, except where the failure to hold such certificates, licenses or permits would not constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence, and (b) are duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation (or other organization) in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and the failure so to qualify would permanently preclude such Person from enforcing its rights with respect to any material assets or could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.2 Authorization and Validity. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or company action by such Loan Party. This Agreement, the Notes and other Loan Documents constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party that is party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, subject to limitations as to enforceability which might result from bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to limitations on the availability of equitable remedies.

Section 4.3 No Conflict; No Default. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party will not (a) violate in any material respect any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court, governmental agency or arbitrator presently in effect having applicability to such Loan Party, (b) violate or contravene any provision of the organizational documents of such Loan Party, or (c) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture, loan, credit agreement or any Related Agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which such Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or result in the creation of any Lien thereunder. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or in violation of any such law, statute, rule or regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or any such indenture, loan or credit agreement or other agreement, lease or instrument in any case in which the consequences of such default or violation could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.4 Government Consent. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority is required on the part of any Loan Party to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, the Loan Documents, except for any necessary filing or recordation of or with respect to any of the Security Documents or any of the Subsidiary Security Documents.

Section 4.5 Financial Statements and Condition. The audited consolidated financial statements for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2004, as heretofore furnished to the Banks, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP on a consistent basis and fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower as at such date and the results of its consolidated operations and changes in financial position for the period then ended. As of the date of such financial statement, the Borrower did not have any material obligation, contingent liability, liability for taxes or long-term lease obligation which is not reflected in such financial statements or in the notes thereto. Since December 31, 2004, there has been no Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.6 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6 of the Disclosure Schedules, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. or any of its properties before any court or arbitrator, or any governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality which could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence, and there are no unsatisfied judgments against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the satisfaction or payment of which could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.7 Environmental, Health and Safety Laws. There does not exist any violation by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any applicable federal, state or local law, rule or regulation or order of any government, governmental department, board, agency or other instrumentality relating to environmental, pollution, health or safety matters which has, will or threatens to impose a material liability on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or which has required or would require a material expenditure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to cure. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice to the effect that any part of such Person’s operations or properties is not in material compliance with any such law, rule, regulation or order or notice that it or its property is the subject of any governmental investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to any release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence. Except as set out on Schedule 4.7 of the Disclosure Schedules, the Borrower does not have knowledge that it, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective property will become subject to environmental laws or regulations during the term of this Agreement, compliance with which could reasonably be expected to require significant Capital Expenditures or to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.8 ERISA. Each Plan is in substantial compliance with all applicable requirements of ERISA and the Code and with all material applicable rulings and regulations issued under the provisions of ERISA and the Code setting forth those requirements. No Reportable Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Plan. All of the minimum funding standards applicable to such Plans have been satisfied and there exists no event or condition which would reasonably be expected to result in the institution of proceedings to terminate any Plan under Section 4042 of ERISA. With respect to each Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, as of the most recent valuation date for such Plan, the present value (determined on the basis of reasonable assumptions employed by the independent actuary for such Plan and

previously furnished in writing to the Banks) of such Plan’s projected benefit obligations did not exceed the fair market value of such Plan’s assets.

Section 4.9 Federal Reserve Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged principally or as one of its important activities in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board). The value of all margin stock owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries does not constitute more than 25% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Borrower.

Section 4.10 Title to Property; Leases; Liens; Subordination. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have (a) good and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, their respective real properties and (b) good and sufficient title to, or valid, subsisting and enforceable leasehold interest in, their respective other properties, including all other properties and assets, referred to as owned by the Borrower in the most recent financial statement referred to in Section 5.1 (other than property disposed of since the date of such financial statements in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder). None of such properties is subject to a Lien, except as allowed under Section 6.12 or Liens to be discharged on the Closing Date. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has subordinated any of its material rights under any obligation owing to it to the rights of any other person.

Section 4.11 Taxes. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and has paid or made provision for the payment of all taxes due and payable pursuant to such returns and pursuant to any assessments made against any such Person or any of its property and all other taxes, fees and other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any governmental authority (other than taxes, fees or charges the amount or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in accordance with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower). No material tax Liens have been filed and no material claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes, fees or charges. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are adequate and the Borrower does not know of any proposed material tax assessment against it or any of its Subsidiaries or any basis therefor.

Section 4.12 Trademarks, Patents. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries licenses to use or otherwise has the right to use, all intellectual property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted, except to the extent that the absence of such property could not individually, or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence. As of the date hereof, no claim has been asserted or is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, has been threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person challenging or questioning the use by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any intellectual property in a manner that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence, nor does the Borrower know of any reason to believe that any such claim would be successful if brought. As of the date hereof, no claim has been asserted or is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by any Person challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any of the Borrower’s intellectual property in a manner that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse

Occurrence. The use of intellectual property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person in a manner that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence. Schedule 4.12 of the Disclosure Schedules is a complete list of all such intellectual property that is owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and constitutes a patent issued by, or a trademark or service xxxx registered with, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (or, in either case, applications therefor) or a copyright issued by the United States Copyright Office (or an application therefor).

Section 4.13 Force Majeure. Since the date of the most recent financial statement referred to in Section 5.1, the business, properties and other assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have not been affected as the result of any fire or other casualty, strike, lockout, or other labor trouble, embargo, sabotage, confiscation, condemnation, riot, civil disturbance, activity of armed forces or act of God which could reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Occurrence.

Section 4.14 Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 4.15 Public Utility Holding Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a holding company or an “affiliate” of a holding company or of a subsidiary company of a holding company within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

Section 4.16 Retirement Benefits. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16 of the Disclosure Schedules and except as required under Section 4980B of the Code, Section 601 of ERISA or applicable state law, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to provide post-retirement medical or insurance benefits with respect to employees or former employees.

Section 4.17 Full Disclosure. Subject to the following sentence, neither the financial statements referred to in Section 5.1 nor any other certificate, written statement, exhibit or report furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which made. Certificates or statements furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Banks consisting of projections or forecasts of future results or events have been prepared in good faith and based on good faith estimates and assumptions of the management of the Borrower, and, as of the date of delivery, the Borrower has no reason to believe that such projections or forecasts are not reasonable; provided that Borrower can give no assurances that such projections will be attained.

Section 4.18 Subsidiaries; etc. As of the date of this Agreement, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns beneficially or of record, any Equity Interests in, any other Person other than those listed on Schedule 4.18 of the Disclosure Schedules, which sets forth the number and percentage of the shares of each class of Equity Interests owned beneficially or of

record by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and the jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary or other issuer of Equity Interests.

Section 4.19 Labor Matters. To the knowledge of the Borrower, there are no pending or threatened strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has been or is in violation in any material respect of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, which violation could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Occurrence. All payments due from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits (in each case, except for de minimus amounts), have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Borrower.

with the Loan Documents, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall act as an independent contractor in performing its obligations as Agent hereunder. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create any fiduciary relationship among or between the Agent, the Borrower or the Banks.

Section 8.6 Action by Agent. Except as may otherwise be expressly stated in this Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions which it may be able to take under or in respect of, the Loan Documents.

Section 8.9 Indemnification. Each Bank agrees to indemnify the Agent, as Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower), ratably according to such Bank’s share of the aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on or incurred by the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, such Bank’s ratable share of any indemnity payment (an “Antares LC Indemnity Payment”) made by the Agent to Antares Capital Corporation (“Antares”) or the “Existing LC Issuer” described in the pay-off letter dated as of even date with this Agreement between Antares and the Agent with respect to the “Existing Letters of Credit” described therein, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Bank of each demand by Antares for an Antares LC Indemnity Payment and the amount of such Bank’s Revolving Loan to be made pursuant to this Section 8.9.

If and to the extent any Bank shall not have made such amount available to Agent on the date of the Agent’s request for indemnification, such Bank agrees, upon demand, to pay interest on such amount to the Agent for the account of the Agent for each day from and including the date on which such payment was to be made to but excluding the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect, based upon a year of 360 days.

No payment by any Bank under this Section shall relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

If any Bank shall receive and retain any payment, voluntary or involuntary, whether by setoff, application of deposit balance or security, or otherwise, in respect of Indebtedness under this Agreement or the Notes in excess of such Bank’s share thereof as determined under this Agreement, then such Bank shall purchase from the other Banks for cash and at face value and without recourse, such participation in the Notes held by such other Banks as shall be necessary to cause such excess payment to be shared ratably as aforesaid with such other Banks; provided, that if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, the related purchases from the other Banks shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. Subject to the participation purchase obligation above, each Bank agrees to exercise any and all rights of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien first fully against any Notes and participations therein held by such Bank, next to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank arising under or pursuant to this Agreement and to any participations held by such Bank in Indebtedness of the Borrower arising under or pursuant to this Agreement, and only then to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank.

(a) Remedies Against a Defaulting Bank. In addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, if at any time a Bank is a Defaulting Bank such Defaulting Bank’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Majority Banks, shall be suspended while such Bank remains a Defaulting Bank. If a Bank is a Defaulting Bank because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Bank on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the overnight Federal Funds rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document until such defaulted payment and related interest has been paid in full and such default no longer exists and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Bank in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Bank’s Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Bank and shall be held uninvested by the Agent and either applied against the purchase price of such Loans under the following subsection (b) or paid to such Defaulting Bank upon the default of such Defaulting Bank being cured.

(b) Purchase from Defaulting Bank. Any Bank that is not a Defaulting Bank shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire all of a Defaulting Bank’s Commitments. If more than one Bank exercises such right, each such Bank shall have the right to acquire such proportion of such Defaulting Bank’s Commitments on a pro rata basis. Upon any such purchase, the Defaulting Bank’s interest in its Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Bank shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser thereof subject to and in accordance with the requirements set forth in 9.5, including an Assignment in form acceptable to the Agent. The purchase price for the Commitments of a Defaulting Bank shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Bank. The purchaser shall pay to the Defaulting Bank in Immediately Available Funds on the date of such purchase the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on the Loans made by such Defaulting Bank hereunder (it being understood that such accrued and unpaid interest and fees may be paid pro rata to the purchasing Bank and the Defaulting Bank by the Agent at a subsequent date upon receipt of payment of such amounts from the Borrower). Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Bank, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any

amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to the last sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (a). The Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by the Borrower under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Bank, to the extent the same are received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower. There shall be no recourse against any Bank or the Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans.

Section 8.14 Resignation. If at any time USBNA shall deem it advisable, in its sole discretion, it may submit to each of the Banks and the Borrower a written notification of its resignation as Agent under this Agreement, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent, but in no event later than 30 days from the date of such notice. Upon submission of such notice, the Majority Banks may appoint a successor Agent.

Section 9.1 Modifications. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary herein, any term of this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Borrower; provided that no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Majority Banks, and then such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given except that the consent of all Banks shall be required to: (a) extend or increase the amount of the Revolving Commitment Amounts except as permitted by Section 2.30; (b) forgive or extend the maturity of any principal or any installment of principal payable under any Note or any Letter of Credit Obligation; (c) reduce the rate of interest payable with respect to any Note or Letter of Credit Obligation or extend the date of the payment thereof; (d) reduce the fees or any other payment obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document or extend the date of the payment thereof; (e) release any material Collateral or any material guarantor of any of the Obligations except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents; (f) change the definition of Majority Banks; or (g) amend, modify, supplement, or grant any waiver or consent, under this Section.

The Agent may enter into amendments or modifications of, and grant consents and waivers to departure from the provisions of, those Loan Documents to which the Banks are not signatories without the Banks joining therein, provided, that the Agent has first obtained the separate prior written consent to such amendment, modification, consent or waiver from the Majority Banks.

Section 9.2 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Agent upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Agent (including filing and recording costs and fees and expenses of Fabyanske, Westra, Xxxx & Xxxxxxx, PA, counsel to the Agent) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, approval, review, execution, delivery,

Section 9.3 Waivers, etc. No failure on the part of the Agent or the holder of a Note to exercise and no delay in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The remedies herein and in the other Loan Documents provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law; provided, that, except for the exercise of rights pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof, no Bank may independently exercise any right or remedy available to it by contract, at law or in equity.

Section 9.4 Notices. Except when telephonic notice is expressly authorized by this Agreement, any notice or other communication to any party in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be sent by manual delivery, facsimile transmission, overnight courier or United States mail (postage prepaid) addressed to such party at the address specified on the signature page hereof, or at such other address as such party shall have specified to the other party hereto in writing. All periods of notice shall be measured from the date of delivery thereof if manually delivered, from the date of sending thereof if sent by facsimile transmission, from the first Business Day after the date of sending if sent by overnight courier, or from four days after the date of mailing if mailed; provided, that any notice to the Agent or any Bank under Article II hereof shall be deemed to have been given only when received by the Agent or such Bank.

In the event of any such sale by any Bank of participating interests to a Participant, (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, (iii) such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Revolving Note or any such Swingline Note for all purposes under this

Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) the agreement pursuant to which such Participant acquires its participating interest herein shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the Obligations, including, without limitation the right to consent or agree to any amendment, modification, consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided, that such agreement may provide that such Bank will not consent or agree to any such amendment, modification, consent or waiver with respect to the matters set forth in Sections 9.1(a) through (e) without the prior consent of such Participant; provided, that each Participant shall be bound by Section 9.6 as if it was a Bank. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement, the Revolving Notes, the Swingline Notes and the Loan Documents are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Revolving Note, any Swingline Note or other Loan Document to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement or any Revolving Note, any Swingline Note or other Loan Document; provided, that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Banks, and the Banks agree to share with such Participant, as provided in Section 9.11. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.23, 2.24, 2.25, 2,26 and 9.2 with respect to its participation in the Revolving Commitments, Swingline Loan Commitment, Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such subsections than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Each Bank may, from time to time, with the consent of the Agent and the Borrower (neither of which consents shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then consent of the Borrower shall not be required), assign to other lenders (“Assignees”) all or part of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 (or, if less, the entire amount of its rights and obligations hereunder) evidenced by any Revolving Note then held by that Bank, together with equivalent proportions of its Revolving Commitment pursuant to written agreements executed by such assigning Bank, such Assignee(s), the Borrower and the Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit D, which agreements shall specify in each instance the portion of the Obligations evidenced by the Revolving Notes which is to be assigned to each Assignee and the portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Bank to be assumed by each Assignee (each, an “Assignment Agreement”); provided, that the assigning Bank must pay to the Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 per assignment. Upon the execution of each Assignment Agreement by the assigning Bank, the relevant Assignee, the Borrower and the Agent, payment to the assigning Bank by such Assignee of the purchase price for the portion of the Obligations being acquired by it and receipt by the Borrower of a copy of the relevant Assignment Agreement, (x) such Assignee lender shall thereupon become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement with a pro rata share

of the Revolving Commitment in the amount set forth in such Assignment Agreement and with all the rights, powers and obligations afforded a Bank under this Agreement, (y) such assigning Bank shall have no further liability for funding, and shall be released from any further obligation relating to, the portion of its Commitment assumed by such Assignee and (z) the address for notices to such Assignee shall be as specified in the Assignment Agreement executed by it.
