repayment of each Revolving Advance to fund a draw on a Letter of Credit, regardless of which Borrower has requested and received such Letter of Credit.

3.3 Reimbursement Obligation Unconditional. All draws under the Letters of Credit are absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably reimbursable by Borrower, and each of them individually regardless of which Borrower requested and received such Letter of Credit, and may be funded as a debit to any Borrower Account or as Revolving Advances in accordance with Subsection 3.2.4 hereof, notwithstanding:

(a) Any lack of validity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit, any of the documents referenced in the Letter of Credit, or any other agreement or instrument related to any such documents;

(b) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against the beneficiary or any transferee of the Letter of Credit (or any person for whom the beneficiary or transferee may be acting);

(c) Any statement, draft, certificate, or any other document presented under the 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 or the draw certificate was otherwise unauthorized, it being expressly understood and agreed by Borrower that Lender shall not have any liability on account of any lack of authorization or forgery and any recovery from third parties on account of such lack of authorization or such forgery shall be the sole responsibility of Borrower; or

(d) Payment of a draw against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit, unless such payment is made as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender as issuer of the Letter of Credit.

ARTICLE 4. INTEREST AND FEES

4.1 Interest. Interest on the Revolving Note and Revolving Loan shall be calculated as follows:

4.1.1 Base Rate Option. Except for those periods during which Borrower receives a LIBO Rate Loan pursuant to Subsection 4.1.2 hereof, the outstanding principal balance under the Revolving Note shall bear interest at the Base Rate and shall be deemed a “Base Rate Loan”.

4.1.2 LIBO Rate Option. From time to time, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Gaiam may request that the entire balance owing under the Revolving Note bear interest at the LIBO Rate (“LIBO Rate Loan”) by making a written request therefore (“LIBO Request”) to Lender by facsimile, specifying the Banking Day, which must be at least two

(2) Banking Days, and not more than five (5) Banking Days, after the date of the LIBO Request, on which such balance is to begin accruing interest at the LIBO Rate (“LIBO Effective Date”). Gaiam’s election to convert the balance owing under the Revolving Note to a LIBO Rate Loan shall be in effect and irrevocable for a period of thirty (30) days (or the next succeeding Banking Day in the event that such thirtieth (30th) day is not a Banking Day) commencing on, and including, the LIBO Effective Date (“LIBO Rate Period”) and each LIBO Rate Period shall be automatically extended for an additional thirty (30) days unless, at least three (3) Banking Days before the end of the then current LIBO Rate Period, Gaiam makes a written request (“Conversion Request”) to Lender by facsimile specifying that the entire balance owing under the Revolving Note bear interest at the Base Rate commencing on the Banking Day immediately following the end of the then current LIBO Rate Period and continuing until such time, if ever, that Gaiam makes another LIBO Request to Lender. Lender shall incur no liability in acting upon a request which it believes in good faith had been made by a properly authorized employee or other representative of Gaiam. An election for a LIBO Rate Loan shall remain in effect for the LIBO Rate Period then in effect and shall be subject to the automatic renewal provisions contained above in this Section notwithstanding the fact that the balance owing under the Revolving Note is paid down in whole or in part.

4.2 Additional Provisions for LIBO Rate Loans.

4.2.1 Inapplicability or Unavailability of LIBO Rate. If Lender at any time shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, or that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBO Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBO Rate Loans for the LIBO Rate Period is to be determined do not adequately cover the cost to Lender of making or maintaining such LIBO Rate Loans for the LIBO Rate Period, then Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Gaiam. If such notice is given, and until such notice has been withdrawn by Lender, then any portion of the outstanding principal balance which bears interest determined in relation to the LIBO Rate shall, subsequent to the end of the LIBO Rate Period applicable thereto, bear interest at the Base Rate, and Lender shall have no obligation to convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBO Rate Loan.

4.2.2 Change in Law; LIBO Rate Loan Unlawful. If any law, treaty, rule, regulation or determination of a court or governmental authority or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof (each, a “Change in Law”) shall make it unlawful for Lender to (a) convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBO Rate Loan or (b) maintain all or any portion of the LIBO Rate Loans, Lender shall promptly notify Gaiam thereof in writing. In the former event, any obligation of Lender to continue a LIBO Rate Loan beyond the then effective LIBO Rate Period or to convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBO Rate Loan shall immediately be canceled (and, in lieu thereof, shall be continued as a Base Rate Loan), and in the latter event, any such unlawful LIBO Rate Loan shall be

converted to a Base Rate Loan; provided, however, that if any such Change in Law shall permit the LIBO Rate to remain in effect until the expiration of the LIBO Rate Period applicable to such unlawful LIBO Rate Loan, then such LIBO Rate Loan shall continue in effect until the expiration of such LIBO Rate Period.

4.3 Default Interest Rate. All past due payments on the Revolving Note or any other Bank Debt (whether as a result of nonpayment by Borrower when due, at maturity, or upon acceleration) shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from and after the due date for the payment, or on the date of maturity or acceleration, as the case may be.

4.4 Interest Calculation. Interest on Base Rate Loans and on LIBO Rate Loans shall be calculated on the actual number of days the principal owing thereunder is outstanding with the daily rate calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days. In calculating interest, the Advance Date shall be included and the date each payment is received shall be excluded.

ARTICLE 5. PAYMENTS

5.1 Principal Payments. Principal shall be payable under the Revolving Note on the Revolving Maturity Date, and as Voluntary Payments as provided in Section 5.4 hereof, and as Mandatory Prepayments as provided in Section 5.5 hereof.

5.2 Interest Payments. Interest on Base Rate Loans and on LIBO Rate Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last Banking Day of the month and, in addition to the foregoing, interest on all Loans then accrued and unpaid shall be payable on the Revolving Maturity Date.

5.3 Manner of Payment. All payments, including prepayments, that Borrower is required or permitted to make under the terms of this Credit Agreement shall be made to Lender (a) in immediately available federal funds, to be received no later than 2:00 P.M. Mountain time of the Banking Day on which such payment is due by (i) wire transfer through Federal Reserve Bank, Kansas City, to the Lender in accordance with the Wire Instructions (or to such other account or by such other means as Lender may designate by notice to Borrower), (ii) Internet communication and transfer through such programs as Lender may make available from time to time, and (iii) in person or any other method as Lender makes available from time to time; and (b) without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes, levies, impost, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholding, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless Borrower is required by law to make such deduction or withholding. In the event any payment whatsoever owing from Borrower to Lender under the terms of this Credit Agreement is not made when due, Lender may, at its sole option and discretion, debit any Borrower Account for the amount of such payment.

5.4 Voluntary Payments; Application of Voluntary Payments. Borrower shall have the right to pay (“Voluntary Payments”) all or any part of the outstanding principal balance under the Loans on any Banking Day. Voluntary Payments on the Revolving Loan may be reborrowed during the Revolving Loan Availability Period under the terms and conditions and subject to the limits set forth in this Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or Potential Default, all Voluntary Payments shall be applied, as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine, to fees, costs, interest or principal indebtedness under the Revolving Note, and/or to any other Bank Debt.

5.5 Mandatory Prepayments. Borrower shall be required to make prepayments (“Mandatory Prepayments”) in each of the following events: (a) in the event any of the Eligible Inventory is the subject of a Casualty Event, Borrower shall, within three (3) Banking Days of the occurrence of the Casualty Event, provide Lender with an updated Borrowing Base Certificate, taking into account the effects of the Casualty Event on the amount of Eligible Inventory and, based on such updated Borrowing Base Certificate (and upon its approval by Lender), Borrower shall make a Mandatory Prepayment as required by clause (b) of this Section; and (b) in the event that at any time the outstanding amount of all Revolving Advances, plus the amount of all Committed Advances, plus the undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the lesser of (i) the Revolving Commitment or (ii) the Borrowing Base, a Mandatory Prepayment in the amount of such excess. Mandatory Prepayments under clauses (a) and (b) shall be due no later than three (3) Banking Days after the occurrence of the condition requiring such Mandatory Prepayment.

5.6 Payments on Banking Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the interest or of any fees due hereunder, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 6. SECURITY

6.1 Borrower’s Assets. As security for the payment and performance of all obligations of Borrower to Lender including but not limited to all principal and interest under the Revolving Note, fees, reimbursements, and all other Bank Debt or obligations under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower, and each of them individually, shall grant to, and maintain for, Lender a first lien and security interest, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, in all of its inventory, accounts, and equipment, tangible and intangible, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, (“Collateral”), pursuant to the Security Documents. Borrower, and each of them individually, shall execute and deliver to Lender the Security Documents to evidence the security interest of Lender in the Collateral, together with such financing statements or other documents as Lender shall request. Borrower, and each of them individually, shall also execute such further

security agreements, financing statements, assignments or other documents as Lender shall reasonably request, in form and substance as Lender shall specify, to establish, confirm, perfect or provide notice of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. If requested by Lender: (a) Borrower, and each of them individually, and Lender shall place a legend on any chattel paper or instruments included in the Collateral showing Lender’s security interest therein; and (b) Borrower, and each of them individually, shall deliver to Lender possession of any chattel paper, instruments and securities included in the Collateral (duly endorsed to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction).

health, the environmental or natural resources caused by, for abatement and/or clean-up of, or otherwise with respect to, Hazardous Substances by virtue of the interest of Lender in the property created by any documents securing Bank Debt (including without limitation the Loan Documents) or as the result of Lender exercising any of its rights or remedies with respect thereto, including but not limited to becoming the owner thereof by foreclosure or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure; provided that such indemnification as it applies to the exercise by Lender of its rights or remedies with respect to the Loan Documents shall not apply to claims arising solely with respect to Hazardous Substances brought onto such property by Lender or its successors or assigns while engaged in activities other than operations substantially the same as the operations previously conducted on such property by Borrower.

(d) The failure of Borrower to pay when due, or failure to perform or observe any other obligation or condition with respect to any of the following obligations to any Person, beyond any period of grace under the instrument creating such obligation: (i) any indebtedness for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property or services, (ii) any obligations under leases which have or should have been characterized as capitalized leases, as determined in accordance with GAAP, or (iii) any contingent liabilities, such as guaranties, for the obligations of others relating to indebtedness for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property or services or relating to obligations under leases which have or should have been characterized as capitalized leases, as determined in accordance with GAAP; provided that no such failure will be deemed to be an Event of Default hereunder unless and until the aggregate amount owing under obligations with respect to which such failures have occurred and are continuing is at least $200,000.00.

(e) Borrower, or any of them, applies for or consents to the appointment of a trustee or receiver for any part of its properties; any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, dissolution or liquidation proceeding is commenced or consented to by Borrower or any of them; or any application for appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or any proceeding for bankruptcy, reorganization, debt management or liquidation is filed for or commenced against Borrower or any of them, and is not withdrawn or dismissed within sixty (60) days thereafter.

(f) Failure of Borrower to comply with any other provision of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents not constituting an Event of Default under any of the preceding subparagraphs of this Section 12.1, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Borrower learns of such failure to comply, whether by Borrower’s own discovery or through notice from Lender.

(g) The entry of one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $200,000.00 against Borrower not stayed, discharged or paid within thirty (30) days after entry.

12.2 No Revolving Advance or Letter of Credit. Lender may suspend the Revolving Commitment upon the occurrence and during the continuance of Potential Default or an Event of Default and shall have no obligation to make any Revolving Advance and no obligation to issue or renew any Letter of Credit if a Potential Default or an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

12.3 Rights and Remedies. In addition to the remedies set forth in Section 12.1 and 12.2 hereof, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and unless and until such Event of Default is waived in writing by Lender), Lender shall be entitled to (a) demand that Borrower to establish the Cash Collateral Account and to deposit therein immediately available funds in the amount of the undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding (and if Borrower fails to establish such account and/or provide such funds within two (2) Banking Days of such demand, Lender may establish such account and/or provide such funds by a Revolving Advance, without regard to any limitations thereon); and (b) exercise all the rights and remedies provided in the Security Documents and other Loan Documents and by any applicable law, including, without limitation, the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the state of Colorado or the state which governs perfection of a security interest in the Collateral, whichever provides Lender with greater rights. Each and every right or remedy granted to Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or allowed Lender by law or equity, shall be cumulative. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to exercise any such right or remedy shall not operate as a waiver thereof. Any single or partial exercise by Lender of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

ARTICLE 13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Costs and Expenses. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, on demand, all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (a) incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by Lender, and including fees and expenses incurred for consulting, appraisal, engineering, inspection, and environmental assessment services) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, and processing each Borrowing Notice; and (b) incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by Lender) in connection with the enforcement or protection of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or upon the commencement of an action by Borrower against Lender (except that if the court makes a specific finding that Borrower has prevailed on all or substantially all of its claims in such action brought by Borrower, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such action), including without limitation collection of the Revolving Loan and enforcement of its rights with respect to the Collateral (regardless of whether such enforcement or collection is by court action or otherwise). Lender may, at its discretion, pay all amounts owing pursuant to clause (a) above by a Revolving Advance upon notice to Gaiam.

13.2 Service of Process and Consent to Jurisdiction. Borrower hereby agrees that any litigation with respect to this Credit Agreement or to enforce any judgment obtained against Borrower for breach of this Credit Agreement or

under the Revolving Note or other Loan Documents may be brought in the courts of the State of Colorado and in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (if applicable subject matter jurisdictional requirements are present), as Lender may elect; and, by execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement, Borrower irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction. With respect to litigation concerning this Credit Agreement or under the Revolving Note or other Loan Documents within the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Colorado or the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints, until at least one (1) year following the Revolving Maturity Date, Corporation Service Company to serve as agent of Borrower to receive for and on behalf of Borrower at such agent’s Denver, Colorado office (presently at 0000 Xxxxxxxx), service of process, which service may be made by mailing a copy of any summons or other legal process to Borrower in care of such agent. Borrower agrees that Borrower shall maintain a duly appointed agent in Colorado for service of summons and other legal process as long as Borrower remains obligated under this Credit Agreement and shall keep Lender advised in writing of the identity and location of such agent. The receipt by such agent and/or by Borrower of such summons or other legal process in any such litigation shall be deemed personal service and acceptance by Borrower for all purposes of such litigation.

13.3 Jury Waiver. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN LENDER AND BORROWER THAT THEY EACH WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING NOTE, OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

13.4 Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 13.2 and 13.3 hereof, the parties hereto agree, upon demand by either party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (a) the Loans and related Loan Documents which are the subject of this Credit Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (b) requests for additional credit.

13.4.1 Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (a) proceed in a location in Colorado selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (b) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (c) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest,

arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

13.4.2 No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (a) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (b) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (c) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (a), (b) and (c) of this Subsection.

13.4.3 Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of Colorado or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of Colorado, in either case with a minimum of ten years experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of Colorado and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The

institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

13.4.4 Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than twenty (20) days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

13.4.5 Class Proceedings and Consolidations. The resolution of any dispute arising pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement shall be determined by a separate arbitration proceeding and such dispute shall not be consolidated with other disputes or included in any class proceeding.

13.4.6 Payment of Arbitration Costs and Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

13.4.7 Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

13.5 Notices. All notices, requests and demands required or permitted under the terms of this Credit Agreement shall be in writing and (a) shall be addressed as set forth below or at such other address as either party shall designate in writing, (b) shall be deemed to have been given or made: (i) if delivered personally, immediately upon delivery, (ii) if by facsimile transmission, immediately upon sending and upon confirmation of receipt, (iii) if by nationally recognized overnight courier service with instructions to deliver the next Banking Day, one (1) Banking Day after sending, and (iv) if by United States Mail, certified mail, return receipt requested, five (5) Banking Days after mailing.

13.6 Successors and Assigns. This Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Lender. Lender may, without Borrower’s consent, (a) transfer its interest hereunder to a Person at least fifty percent (50%) the equity interest in which is owned by Lender or which owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the equity interest in Lender or at least fifty percent (50%) of the equity interest of which is owned by the same Person which owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the equity interest of Lender; and (b) grant to a Person one or more participation interests in the Loans. In connection with any such assignment or transfer, or negotiations in connection with any proposed assignment, transfer, or participation, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now has or hereafter acquires relating to Borrower or its business or any Collateral.

13.7 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall not affect the remaining portions of such documents or instruments; in case of such invalidity or unenforceability, such documents or instruments shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions had not been included therein.

13.8 Applicable Law. To the extent not governed by federal law, this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to any otherwise applicable rules concerning conflicts of law.

13.9 Captions. The captions or headings in this Credit Agreement and any table of contents hereof are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provision of this Credit Agreement.

13.10 Complete Agreement; Amendments. THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING NOTE, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS ARE INTENDED BY THE PARTIES HERETO TO BE A COMPLETE AND FINAL EXPRESSION OF THEIR AGREEMENT AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF ANY PRIOR OR CONTEMPORANEOUS ORAL AGREEMENT. LENDER AND BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENT EXISTS BETWEEN THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. This Credit Agreement (together with all exhibits hereto, which are incorporated herein by this reference) and the other Loan Documents represent the entire understanding of Lender and Borrower with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall replace and supersede any previous agreements of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Credit Agreement may not be modified or amended unless such modification or amendment is in writing and is signed by Borrower and Lender. Borrower agrees that it shall reimburse Lender for all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Lender in retaining outside legal counsel in connection with any amendment or modification to this Credit Agreement requested by Borrower.

13.11 Additional Costs of Maintaining Loan. Borrower shall pay to Lender from time to time such amounts as Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate Lender for any increase in costs to Lender which Lender determines are attributable to Lender’s making or maintaining a Revolving Advance hereunder or its obligation to make such Revolving Advance, or any reduction in any amount receivable by Lender under this Credit Agreement or the Revolving Note in respect to such Revolving Advance or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any change after the date of this Credit Agreement in United States federal, state, municipal laws or regulations (including Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board), or the adoption or making after such date of any interpretations, directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including Lender of or under any United States federal, state, municipal laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court or governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (“Regulatory Change”), which: (a) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Lender under this Credit Agreement or the Revolving Note in respect of such Revolving Advance (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of Lender); or (b) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, Lender; or (c) imposes any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement or the Revolving Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities). Lender will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Credit Agreement

which will entitle Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Lender shall include with such notice, a certificate from Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such compensation. Determinations by Lender for purposes of this Section of the effect of any Regulatory Change on the costs of Lender of making or maintaining a Revolving Advance or on amounts receivable by Lender in respect of Revolving Advances, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Lender in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis.

13.12 Capital Requirements. In the event that the introduction of or any change in: (a) any law or regulation; or (b) the judicial, administrative, or other governmental interpretation of any law or regulation; or (c) compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with any guideline or request from any governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) has the effect of requiring an increase in the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender, and Lender certifies that such increase is based in any part upon Lender’s obligations hereunder, and other similar obligations, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by Lender to Borrower to be the net present value (discounted at the Base Rate less the Base Rate Margin) of the amount by which such increase in capital reduces the rate of return on capital which Lender could have achieved over the period remaining until the Revolving Maturity Date but for such introduction or change. Lender will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Credit Agreement that will entitle Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and of Lender’s determination to request such compensation. Lender shall include with such notice, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such compensation. Determinations by Lender for purposes of this Section of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by Lender and of the amount of compensation owed to any Lender under this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis.

13.13 Replacement Notes. Upon receipt by Borrower of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Revolving Note, and (in case of loss, theft or destruction) of the agreement of Lender to indemnify Borrower, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Revolving Note, if mutilated, then Borrower will execute and deliver a new Revolving Note to be dated as of the date of this Credit Agreement.

13.14 Mutual Release. Upon full indefeasible payment and satisfaction of the Bank Debt and Revolving Note and the other obligations contained in this Credit Agreement, Borrower and Lender shall, except as provided in Article 11 hereof with respect to indemnification obligations, thereupon automatically each

be fully, finally, and forever released and discharged from any further claim, liability, or obligation in connection with the Bank Debt.

13.15 No Implied Waiver. The acceptance by Lender at any time and from time to time of partial payments on the Bank Debt shall not be deemed a waiver of any Potential Default or Event of Default then existing. No waiver by Lender of any Potential Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other then-existing or subsequent Potential Default or event of Default. No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any right or remedy shall impair that right or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude other or further exercise of that, or any other, right or remedy.

13.16 Liberal Construction. This Credit Agreement constitutes a fully negotiated agreement between commercially sophisticated parties, each assisted by legal counsel, and shall not be construed and interpreted for or against any party hereto.

13.17 Counterparts. This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties to this Credit Agreement in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Copies of documents or signature pages bearing original signatures, and executed documents or signature pages delivered by facsimile or by e-mail transmission of an Adobe® file format document (also known as a PDF file), shall, in each such instance, be deemed to be, and shall constitute and be treated as, an original signed document or counterpart, as applicable. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement by facsimile, or by e-mail transmission of an Adobe file format document also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Credit Agreement.

13.18 Affect of Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. This Credit Agreement shall, upon compliance with the requirements of Section 8.1 hereof, be effective from the Effective Date forward, and the execution of this Credit Agreement shall not relieve any party to the 2002 Credit Agreement from their respective obligations thereunder for the period from the Original Effective Date to the Effective Date or from any liability for the failure to perform such obligations or from any liability arising out of indemnification obligations under the 2002 Credit Agreement.
