If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives such notice; provided that Borrower may prior to the Revolving Termination Date, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 4.1 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan. If Borrower fails to make such payment when due, Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an advance of a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to the unreimbursed LC Disbursement. To the extent such deemed borrowing would cause the total Revolving Exposure to exceed the Revolving Commitment, Agent shall notify each Bank of the applicable unreimbursed LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect thereof and such Bank’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Bank shall pay to Agent its Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 4.1 with respect to Loans made by such Bank (and Section 4.1 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Banks), and Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Banks. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in clause (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Article, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither Agent, the Banks nor the Issuing Bank, nor any Person related thereto, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 18

gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Agent and Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless Borrower shall reimburse (by actual payment or by a deemed borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with clause (e) of this Section) such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Loans plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans; provided that, if Borrower fails to reimburse (by actual payment or by a deemed borrowing of Revolving Loans in accordance with clause (e) of this Section) such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (e) of this Section, then Section 3.3 shall apply to the portion of the LC Disbursement that remains unreimbursed. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Bank pursuant to clause (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Bank to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to clause (k) of this Section. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from Agent or the Required Banks demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or if Borrower is otherwise required to provide cash collateral for LC Exposures under Section 4.4(b), Borrower shall deposit in an account with Agent, in the name of Agent and for the benefit of the Banks, to be held by Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid letter of credit fees relating thereto pursuant to clause (k) of this Section; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind,

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 19

upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Borrower described in clause (e) or (f) of Section 10.1 or on the Revolving Termination Date if any Letter of Credit has an expiration date beyond the Revolving Termination Date. Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of Agent in Investments of the type permitted by clauses (a), (b), (c), (e), (h), and (i) of Section 8.5 hereto and at Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it is entitled to pursuant to clause (e) of this Section and for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Banks with LC Exposure representing greater than fifty-one percent (51%) of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be promptly returned to Borrower after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Fees. With respect to each Letter of Credit issued, Borrower agrees to pay (i) to Agent for the account of each Bank a participation fee with respect to its participations in such Letter of Credit, which shall accrue on the average daily amount of such Bank’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) under such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the date such Letter of Credit was issued by the Issuing Bank to but excluding the date on which such Bank ceases to have any LC Exposure under such Letter of Credit, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, equal to 12.5 basis points times the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Payment Date and fronting fees shall be due and payable on each issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the Revolving Termination Date and any such fees accruing after the Revolving Termination Date shall be payable on demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). None of the Banks (other than the Issuing Bank) are entitled to any portion of the fronting fee.

Section 2.8. Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Commitment.

(i) Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the proviso below), the Swingline Bank agrees to make one or more Swingline Loans to Borrower from time to time from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to but not exceeding the Swingline Commitment provided, in no event shall the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans, the Swingline Loans and LC Exposure shall exceed the lesser of the Revolving Commitment of all of the Banks or the Borrowing Base. Subject to the foregoing limitations, and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, prepay, and reborrow hereunder the amount of the Swingline Commitment; provided, however, that, for avoidance of doubt, the Swingline Bank shall not have any obligation or duty to make any Swingline Loans to Borrower (as the Swingline Commitment is zero), but the Swingline Bank may or may not make Swingline Loans from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion.

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 20

(ii) Bank Participation. On the date a Swingline Loan is made by the Swingline Bank, the Swingline Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the Swingline Bank, a risk participation to the extent of such Bank’s Commitment Percentage in the Swingline Loan so made, such participation to be funded in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 2.8.

(b) Repayment of Swingline Loans; Funding of Participation. Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Bank for its own account the outstanding principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of (i) the Revolving Termination Date or (ii) the date which is the fifteenth day of the month in which the Swingline Loan is made (if such Swingline Loan is made at any time during the first fourteen days of the month) or (iii) the last Business Day of the fiscal month in which such Swingline Loan was advanced (the earliest of such dates with respect to a Swingline Loan herein the “Swingline Maturity”). Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may repay a Swingline Loan on its Swingline Maturity under clause (ii) above or at any time prior thereto by requesting a Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Swingline Bank for its own account. The Swingline Bank, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion and whether or not a Swingline Maturity shall have occurred, may require that each Bank fund its participation in the then outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans by giving each Bank notice thereof. Additionally, if Borrower shall not have repaid a Swingline Loan by 1:00 P.M. on the corresponding Swingline Maturity, the Swingline Bank will notify each Bank of the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loan which has not been repaid. Upon the giving of any notice by the Swingline Bank under either of the preceding two sentences, each Bank shall make available to the Swingline Bank, at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans subject to such notice by not later than 3:00 P.M. on the date such notice is received if such notice is received by 1:00 P.M. or by 11:00 A.M. on the next Business Day, if such notice is received after 1:00 P.M., whether or not the conditions to a Loan under Article V are satisfied.

(c) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Swingline Loans shall be used by Borrower to finance the working capital needs of Borrower in the ordinary course of business.

Section 2.9. Defaulting Banks. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank:

(a) Suspension of Commitment Fees. The commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.4.

(b) Suspension of Voting. The Revolving Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Bank shall not be included in determining whether all Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank which affects such Defaulting Bank differently than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank.

(c) Participation Exposure. If any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Banks in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 21

Bank’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Banks’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days following notice by Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.7(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.9, Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 2.7(k) with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Banks is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.9, then the fees payable to the Banks pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Banks’ Commitment Percentages; and

(v) if any Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.9, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Bank hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.4 with respect to such Defaulting Bank’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated.

(d) Suspension of Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit. So long as any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, the Swingline Bank shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.9, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Banks (and Defaulting Banks shall not participate therein).

(e) Setoff Against Defaulting Bank. Any amount payable to a Defaulting Bank (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Bank) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Bank, be retained by Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Bank hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participating interest in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by Agent and Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Bank under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower or the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower or any Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations in respect of LC Disbursements which a Defaulting Bank has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Banks pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Bank.

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 22

In the event that Agent, Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Bank has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Bank, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Banks shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Bank’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Bank shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Banks (other than Swingline Loans) as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Bank to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage.

Section 2.10. Increase of Revolving Commitments. By written notice sent to the Agent (which the Agent shall promptly distribute to the Revolving Banks), the Borrower may request an increase of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000; provided that no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Each Revolving Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine whether it will increase its Revolving Commitment. If one or more of the Revolving Banks will not be increasing its Revolving Commitment pursuant to such request, then, with notice to the Agent and the other Revolving Banks, another one or more financial institutions, each as approved by the Borrower and the Agent (a “New Bank”), may commit to provide an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the requested increase that will not be provided by the existing Revolving Banks (the “Increase Amount”); provided, that the Revolving Commitment of each New Bank shall be at least $5,000,000 and the maximum number of New Banks shall be two (2). Upon receipt of notice from the Agent to the Revolving Banks and the Borrower that the Revolving Banks, or sufficient Revolving Banks and New Banks, have agreed to commit to an aggregate amount equal to the Increase Amount (or such lesser amount as the Borrower shall agree, which shall be at least $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof), then, and provided that no Default exists at such time or after giving effect to the requested increase, the Borrower, the Agent and the Revolving Banks willing to increase their respective Revolving Commitments and the New Banks (if any) shall execute and deliver such documentation relating to such increase, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Agent, as the Agent may request.

ARTICLE III.

Interest

Section 3.1. Interest Rate. Subject to Section 12.12, Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of each Bank (including the Swingline Bank as a Bank) interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Bank for the period commencing on the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan is due.

(a) Subject to Section 3.3 and Section 12.12, the principal amount of all Base Rate Loans shall accrue interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Borrower shall elect an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans. Subject to Section 3.3 and Section 12.12, the principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans outstanding during such Interest Period shall accrue interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate determined with respect to such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin. No more than ten (10) Interest Periods for the Eurodollar Loans will be in effect at any time. Each Interest Period shall remain in effect until the maturity of such Interest Period. On the third Business Day prior to the maturity of any Interest Period, so long as no Default exists, Borrower shall elect a new Interest Period by giving notice to Agent thereof (which notice may be given by telephone promptly confirmed in writing by a Responsible Officer). If Borrower fails to elect a new Interest Period on the third Business Day prior to the maturity of an Interest Period, then the Interest Period shall be deemed to be an Interest Period of one month. If a Default exists on the third Business Day prior to the maturity of any Interest Period Agent, in its discretion, shall elect the length of the next Interest Period.

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 23

(c) Swingline Loans shall accrue interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Swingline Loans shall not accrue interest based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate.

Section 3.2. Payment Dates.

(a) Accrued interest on the Base Rate Loans shall be due and payable on each Quarterly Payment Date and the Revolving Termination Date.

(b) Accrued interest on the Eurodollar Loans shall be due and payable on any date of prepayment, the Revolving Termination Date and on the last day of an Interest Period, and, if such Interest Period is longer than ninety days, every ninety (90) days after the commencement of such Interest Period.

(c) Accrued interest on the Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on the Swingline Maturity related to such Swingline Loan and on the Revolving Termination Date.

Section 3.3. Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower will pay to Agent for the account of each Bank interest at the applicable Default Rate on any principal of any Loan made by such Bank, and (to the fullest extent permitted by law) any other amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document to or for the account of Agent or such Bank, that is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise), for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full. Interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand and if not sooner demanded on each the first Business Day of each fiscal month.

Section 3.4. Conversions and Continuations of Loans. Subject to Section 5.2, Borrower shall have the right from time to time to (a) convert all or part of any Base Rate Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) into a Eurodollar Loan, (b) continue all or any part of a Eurodollar Loan as a Eurodollar Loan, and (c) convert all of any part of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that: (i) Borrower shall give Agent notice of each such conversion or continuation as provided in Section 4.3; (ii) a Eurodollar Loan may only be converted on the last day of the Interest Period therefor; and (iii) except for conversions into Base Rate Loans, no conversions or continuations shall be made while a Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 3.5. Computations.

Interest and fees related to the Base Rate Loans payable by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.

ARTICLE IV.

Administrative Matters

Section 4.1. Borrowing Procedure.

(a) Subject to Section 4.1(b), Borrower shall give Agent, and Agent will give the Banks, notice of each borrowing under the Commitments in accordance with Section 4.3. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for each such borrowing (other than a Swingline Loan) each Bank will make available to Agent the amount of the Loan to be made by it on such date, at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of Borrower, provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 24

provided in Section 2.8. The amount so received by Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to Borrower by (a) depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of Borrower (designated by Borrower) maintained with Agent at the Principal Office (a “Disbursement Account”) or (b) wire transferring such funds to a Person or Persons designated by Borrower in writing; provided that Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.7(e) shall be remitted by Agent to the Issuing Bank. If any Bank shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and if Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Bank shall on the Business Day following such funding date make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Bank Rate for each day during such period.

(b) No notice of a request for a Revolving Loan in accordance with Section 4.1(a) shall be required to be presented by Borrower to Agent if (i) no Default exists, and a check, checks, or other debit shall be presented for payment against a Disbursement Account on a Business Day when funds are not otherwise available to honor such debits or (ii) Borrower fails to pay when due any Obligation. In either event, Agent shall (in the case of clause (i)) or may (in the case of clause (ii)) without Borrower’s or any Bank’s consent promptly advise the Banks of the amount of the Revolving Loans or shall advise the Swingline Bank of the amount of the Swingline Loans, necessary to (x) be credited to the Disbursement Account on such day to permit such debits to be honored or (y) pay the amount of the Obligation due and unpaid. Not later than 3:00 P.M. on the day the Banks are advised of a Revolving Loan under this Section 4.1(b), each Bank will make available the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made by it on such date to Agent, at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of Borrower. However, if the Swingline Bank is advised of such amount, the Swingline Bank will make available the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by it on such date to Agent, at the Principal office, in immediately available funds, for the account of the applicable Borrower not later than 3:00 P.M. on such date. The amounts so received by Agent, shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to Borrower by crediting the same to the applicable Disbursement Account or by utilizing the same to pay the past due Obligation, as applicable. Revolving Loans made under this Section 4.1(b) shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

Section 4.2. Minimum Amounts for Borrowings. Except for financings of reimbursements of LC Disbursements as contemplated by Section 2.7(e) and Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 4.1(b), each Revolving Loan shall be in an amount at least equal to (a) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or any larger amounts in increments of One Hundred Dollars ($100,000) or (b) the remaining unfunded amount of the Revolving Commitments.

Section 4.3. Certain Notices. Each termination or reduction of Commitments, borrowing of Loans and prepayment of Loans shall be made upon Borrower’s notice (which may be given by telephone promptly confirmed in writing by a Responsible Officer) to Agent in the form of Exhibit E hereto or another form reasonably acceptable to Agent and shall be effective only if received by Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the (a) day of the borrowing of a Swingline Loan, (b) first day prior to any borrowing, prepayment or repayment of any Base Rate Loan and (c) third Business Day prior to any borrowing, prepayment or repayment of any other Loan. Any such notice which is received by Agent after 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day shall be deemed to be received and shall be effective on the next Business Day. Each such notice when providing notice of a borrowing or prepayment shall specify: (a) the Loans to be borrowed or prepaid; (b) the amount (subject to Section 4.2 hereof) to be borrowed or prepaid; (c) the date of borrowing or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day); and (d) the Interest Period for any borrowing of a Eurodollar Loan. Agent shall notify the Banks of the contents of each notice on the date of its receipt of the same or, if received on or after 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day, on the next Business Day.

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 25

Section 4.4. Prepayments.

(a) Optional Prepayments. Subject to Section 4.2 and the provisions of this Section 4.4, Borrower may, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty upon prior notice to Agent as specified in Section 4.3, prepay or repay any Loan in full or in part. Eurodollar Loans may be prepaid or repaid only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless Borrower pays to Agent for the account of the applicable Banks any amounts due under Section 4.12 as a result of such prepayment or repayment. Any optional prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied with accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of prepayment and any partial prepayments thereof shall be applied to the principal installments due in the inverse order of maturity.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Reduction of Revolving Commitment. On each date that the Revolving Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.6 prior to the Revolving Termination Date, Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans in the amount, if any, by which the sum of the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Commitments (as reduced) or, if no Revolving Loans are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(j) in an amount equal to such excess.

(ii) Revolving Exposures Exceed Revolving Commitments. In the event, and on each occasion, that the sum of the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans (or, if no Revolving Loans are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(j)) in an amount equal to such excess.

(iii) Revolving Exposures Exceed Borrowing Base. If at any time the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Exposures exceeds the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence thereof prepay the outstanding Revolving Loans by the amount of the excess plus accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid (or, if no Revolving Loans are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(j)) in an amount equal to such excess.

(iv) Mandatory Prepayment from Prepayment Event. In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay the Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided that:

(A) in the case of any event described in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event, if Borrower and the Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event, within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire or repair assets to be used in the business of Borrower, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such event except (I) to the extent of any Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds that have not been so applied or (II) if, at the time of the proposed application of the Net Proceeds, a Default exists, then, at that time, a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds; and

(B) Net Proceeds from a single Prepayment Event shall not be required to be used to prepay Loans under this paragraph (iv) if the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received from such Prepayment Event do not exceed $100,000 unless such Net Proceeds, when added to the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received from all Prepayment Events occurring in the same fiscal year which are not reinvested pursuant to this paragraph, exceed $100,000 (in which event the aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds from all such Prepayment Events in excess of $100,000 shall then be required

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 26

to be used to prepay the Loans under this paragraph).

(v) Designation of Prepayment. Borrower shall notify Agent in writing of each prepayment. Proceeds of any prepayment under Section 4.4(b)(iv) shall first be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans or, if no Revolving Loans are outstanding, to cash collateralize the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.7(j).

Section 4.5. Method of Payment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by any Obligated Party under the Loan Documents shall be made to Agent at the Principal Office for the account of each Bank’s Applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Borrower and each Obligated Party shall, at the time of making each such payment, specify to Agent the sums payable under the Loan Documents to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that Borrower fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may apply such payment and any proceeds of any Collateral to the Obligations that are due and payable in such order and manner as the Required Banks may elect in their sole discretion, subject to Section 4.6 hereof). Each payment received by Agent under any Loan Document for the account of a Bank shall be paid to such Bank by 3:00 p.m. on the date the payment is deemed made to Agent in immediately available funds, for the account of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office. Whenever any payment under any Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the payment of interest and Commitment Fee, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

Section 4.6. Pro Rata Treatment; Proceeds of Collateral and Guaranty.

(a) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each Loan shall be made by the Banks, each payment of Commitment Fees under Section 2.4 shall be made for the account of the Banks holding a Commitment, and each termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to the Commitments of the Banks, pro rata according to their respective Commitment Percentages; and (b) each payment and prepayment of principal of or interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made to Agent for the account of Agent or the Banks holding such Loans pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans or participation interests held by Agent or such Banks (provided that only the Swingline Bank shall be entitled to principal and interest on the Swingline Loans unless the other Banks have funded their participation in accordance with Section 2.8(b)). Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, all payments received by Agent shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) the payment or reimbursement of any expenses, costs or obligations (other than the outstanding principal balance hereof and interest hereon) for which either Borrower shall be obligated or Agent shall be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ii) the payment of accrued but unpaid interest hereon; and (iii) the payment of all or any portion of the principal balance hereof then outstanding hereunder, in the direct order of maturity. If an Event of Default exists under any of the Loan Documents, then subject to clause (b) below, Agent may (or, at the direction of Required Banks, shall) apply any such payments, at any time and from time to time, to any of the items specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above without regard to the order of priority otherwise specified in this clause (a) and any application to the outstanding principal balance hereof may be made in either direct or inverse order of maturity.

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 27

(b) Proceeds of Collateral and Guaranty. All proceeds received by Agent from Agent’s sale or other liquidation of the Collateral when an Event of Default exists and all collections on the Guaranty shall first be applied as payment of the accrued and unpaid fees of Agent hereunder and then to all other unpaid or unreimbursed Obligations (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) owing to Agent in its capacity as Agent only and then any remaining amount of such proceeds shall be distributed:

(i) first, to the Secured Parties, pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate unpaid amounts of Loan Obligations, until all the Loan Obligations have been Fully Satisfied;

(ii) second, to the Secured Parties, pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate unpaid amounts of Hedging Obligations, until all the Hedging Obligations have been Fully Satisfied;

(iii) third, to the Secured Parties, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid amounts of the Deposit Obligations then due and owing, until all Deposit Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full or cash collateralized;

(iv) fourth, to the Secured Parties, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid amounts of the remaining Obligations then due and owing; and

(v) fifth, any proceeds then remaining shall be delivered to the Person entitled thereto as directed by Borrower or as otherwise determined by applicable law or applicable court order.

(c) Noncash Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Agent shall ever acquire any Collateral through foreclosure or by a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or by retaining any of the Collateral in satisfaction of all or part of the Obligations or if any proceeds of Collateral received by Agent to be distributed and shared pursuant to this Section 4.6 are in a form other than immediately available funds, Agent shall not be required to remit any share thereof under the terms hereof and the Secured Parties shall only be entitled to their undivided interests in the Collateral or noncash proceeds as determined by Section 4.6(b). The Secured Parties shall receive the applicable portions (in accordance with the foregoing clause (b)) of any immediately available funds consisting of proceeds from such Collateral or proceeds of such noncash proceeds so acquired only if and when received by Agent in connection with the subsequent disposition thereof. While any Collateral or other property to be shared pursuant to this Section 4.6 is held by Agent pursuant to this clause (b), Agent shall hold such Collateral or other property for the benefit of the Secured Parties and all matters relating to the management, operation, further disposition or any other aspect of such Collateral or other property shall be resolved by the agreement of the Required Banks.

(d) Return of Proceeds. If at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any amount distributed by Agent hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Agent as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law, then each Person receiving any portion of such amount agrees, upon demand, to return the portion of such amount it has received to Agent.

Section 4.7. Sharing of Payments. If a Bank shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any of the Loan Obligations arising under the Loan Documents due to such Bank hereunder directly (and not through Agent) through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim, or similar right, or otherwise, it shall promptly purchase from the other Banks participations in such Loan Obligations held by the other Banks in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and interest on such Loan Obligations then due to each of them. To such end, all of the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 28

otherwise) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank so purchasing a participation in such Loan Obligations held by the other Banks may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim, or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of such Loan Obligations in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.

Section 4.8. Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent. Unless Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or Borrower (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Bank is to make payment to Agent hereunder or Borrower is to make a payment to Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to Agent, Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Agent, (i) the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Agent until the date Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Defaulting Bank Rate for such period and (ii) Agent shall be entitled to offset against any and all sums to be paid to such recipient, the amount calculated in accordance with the foregoing clause (i).

Section 4.9. Withholding Taxes. All payments by Borrower of amounts payable under any Loan Document shall be payable without deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, or other charges levied or imposed by the United States of America or by the government of any jurisdiction outside the United States of America or by any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in any of the foregoing through withholding or deduction with respect to any such payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profit of a Bank pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which the principal office or Applicable Lending Office of such Bank is located or any subdivision thereof or therein). If any such taxes, duties, or other charges are so levied or imposed, Borrower will make additional payments in such amounts so that every net payment of amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any such present or future taxes, duties, or other charges, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or therein, provided that Borrower may withhold to the extent required by law and shall have no obligation to pay such additional amounts to any Bank to the extent that such taxes, duties, or other charges are levied or imposed by reason of the failure or inability of such Bank to comply with the provisions of Section 4.10. Borrower shall furnish promptly to Agent for distribution to each affected Bank, as the case may be, official receipts evidencing any such withholding or reduction.

Section 4.10. Withholding Tax Exemption. Each Bank that is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to Borrower and Agent two duly completed copies of the appropriate United States Internal Revenue Service Form certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments from Borrower under any Loan Document without deduction or withholding of any United States of America federal income taxes. Each Bank which so delivers such a form further undertakes to deliver to Borrower and Agent two (2) additional copies of such form on or before the date such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, in each case certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments from Borrower under any Loan Document without deduction or withholding of any United States of America federal income taxes, unless an event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law, or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 29

renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank advises Borrower and Agent that it is not capable of receiving such payments without any deduction or withholding of United States of America federal income tax.

Section 4.11. Capital Adequacy. If any Bank shall have determined in good faith that any Regulatory Change has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s (or its parent’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby to a level below that which such Bank (or its parent) would have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its parent) for such reduction. A certificate of such Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive, provided that the determination thereof is made on a reasonable basis. In determining such amount or amounts, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. If any Bank claims compensation under this Section, then, at the request of Borrower, Agent shall use reasonable efforts to replace such Bank with a Bank not so affected by such Regulatory Change.

Section 4.12. Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the account of each Bank, upon the request of such Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) Any payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the outstanding Loans pursuant to Section 10.2(a)) on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for the applicable Eurodollar Loan; or

(b) Any failure by Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any conditions precedent specified in Article V to be satisfied) to borrow or prepay a Eurodollar Loan on the date for such borrowing or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing or prepayment, under this Agreement.

Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan which would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loan provided for herein over (ii) the interest component of the amount such Bank would have bid in the European interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits of leading banks and amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period.

Section 4.13. Additional Costs.

(a) Borrower shall pay directly to each Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time to time such amounts as such Bank or the Issuing Bank may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate it for any reasonable costs incurred by such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, which such Bank or the Issuing Bank reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, or its obligation to make any of such Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Bank or the Issuing Bank hereunder in respect of any such Loans, such Letters of Credit or such obligation (such

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 30

increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank or the Issuing Bank under this Agreement or its Revolving Notes in respect of any of such Loans or Letters of Credit (other than franchise taxes and taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank or the Issuing Bank or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans or Letters of Credit by the United States of America or any state or subdivision thereof or the jurisdiction in which such Bank or the Issuing Bank has its Principal Office or such Applicable Lending Office);

(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, minimum capital, capital ratio, or similar requirement relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be (including any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definitions of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” and “Statutory Reserve Rate” in Section 1.1 hereof); or

(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or the Revolving Notes or the Letters of Credit or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments.

Each Bank and the Issuing Bank, as applicable, will notify Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.13(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, violate any law, rule, or regulation or be in any way disadvantageous to such Bank or the Issuing Bank. Each Bank and the Issuing Bank, as applicable, will furnish Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and the amount of each request of such Bank or the Issuing Bank for compensation under this Section 4.13(a). If any Bank or the Issuing Bank requests compensation from Borrower under this Section 4.13(a), Borrower may, by notice to such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be (with a copy to Agent), suspend the obligation of such Bank to make Eurodollar Loans or Continue Eurodollar Loans as Eurodollar Loans or suspend the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, as applicable, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect.

(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.13, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Bank or the Issuing Bank either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on the Eurodollar Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank which includes Eurodollar Loans or with respect to the Issuing Bank which includes Letters of Credit or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, so elects by notice to Borrower (with a copy to Agent), the obligation of such Bank to make Eurodollar Loans or Continue Eurodollar Loans as Eurodollar Loans or the obligation of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall be suspended until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof shall be applicable).

(c) Determinations and allocations by any Bank or the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 4.13 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligation to make

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 31

Loans, to issue Letters of Credit, of making or maintaining Loans, of making or maintaining Letters of Credit, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, as the case may be, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

Section 4.14. Limitation on Eurodollar Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if with respect to any Eurodollar Loans under a Loan for any Interest Period therefor:

(a) Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definitions of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” and “Statutory Reserve Rate” in Section 1.1 hereof are not being provided in the relative amounts or for the relative maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for Eurodollar Loans as provided in this Agreement; or

(b) Required Banks determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definitions of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” and “Statutory Reserve Rate” in Section 1.1 hereof on the basis of which the rate of interest for such Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined do not accurately reflect the cost to the Banks of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period;

then Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof specifying the relevant Eurodollar Loan and the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Banks shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loan and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, prepay the Eurodollar Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Determinations made under this Section 4.14 shall be made on a reasonable basis.

Section 4.15. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to (a) honor its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans hereunder or (b) maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to Agent) thereof and such Bank’s obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.13 hereof shall be applicable).

To induce Agent and the Banks to enter into this Agreement, each Obligated Party represents and warrants to Agent and the Banks that:

Section 6.1. Corporate Existence. Each Obligated Party (a) is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, and (c) is qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify could not

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Obligated Party has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform its respective obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is or may become a party.

Section 6.2. Financial Statements. Borrower has delivered to Agent and the Banks audited consolidated financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and unaudited financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly in all material respects (subject with respect to the fiscal quarter financial statements to year end audit adjustments) the financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates indicated therein and the results of operations for the respective periods indicated therein (subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). None of Borrower or its Subsidiaries have any material contingent liabilities or material liabilities for taxes, in each case, outside of the ordinary course of their respective businesses, except as referred to or reflected in such financial statements. There has been no material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, prospects, or properties of Borrower and its Subsidiaries since December 31, 2008. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 6.5. Litigation and Judgments. There is no action, suit, investigation, or proceeding before or by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator pending or, to the knowledge of any Obligated Party, threatened against or affecting such Obligated Party that would, if adversely determined, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Agent shall (subject to Section 11.1) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by Required Banks in accordance with this Agreement, provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interest of the Banks.

Section 11.4. Indemnification. THE BANKS HEREBY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AGENT FROM AND HOLD AGENT HARMLESS AGAINST (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED UNDER SECTIONS 12.1 AND 12.2, BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER UNDER SECTIONS 12.1 AND 12.2), RATABLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMITMENT PERCENTAGES, ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, DEFICIENCIES, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES), AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY AGENT UNDER OR IN RESPECT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT NO BANK SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF THE FOREGOING TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 52

Section 11.6. Several Commitments. The Commitments and other obligations of the Banks under any Loan Document are several. The default by any Bank in making a Loan in accordance with its Commitment shall not relieve the other Banks of their obligations under any Loan Document. In the event of any default by any Bank in making any Loan, each non-defaulting Bank shall be obligated to make its Loan but shall not be obligated to advance the amount which the defaulting Bank was required to advance hereunder. No Bank shall be responsible for any act or omission of any other Bank

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks, the Issuing Bank, and Borrower, and Agent may be removed at any time by Required Banks if it has breached its obligations under the Loan Documents. Upon any such resignation or removal, Required Banks will have the right to appoint a successor Agent with Borrower’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Banks’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and having combined capital and surplus of at least Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000).

Section 11.8. Release of Collateral. Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Secured Parties, without any consent or further agreement of any Secured Party and at the option and in the discretion of Agent (except to the extent that Agent is obligated to provide such release in accordance with any Loan Document or applicable law), to

(a) release any Liens of Agent encumbering any Collateral that is sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including Section 8.7 hereof), except to the extent that such sale or other disposition is required or intended to be subject to the Liens of Agent;

(b) release any Liens of Agent attaching to the assets of any Obligated Party, and/or release any Obligated Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, if all Equity Interests of such Obligated Party are sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including Section 8.7 hereof), except to the extent that such sale or other disposition is required or intended to be subject to the Liens of Agent; and

Neither Agent nor the Issuing Bank shall have any liabilities, obligations or responsibilities of any kind whatsoever to any Affiliate of any Bank who is owed any Obligation. Agent and the Obligated Parties shall deal solely and directly with the Successor Bank Affiliate or the related Bank of any such Affiliate (who is not a Successor Bank Affiliate) in connection with all matters relating to the Loan Documents. The Obligation owed to such Affiliate shall be considered the Obligation owed to its related Bank for all purposes under the Loan Documents and such Bank shall be solely responsible to the other parties hereto for all the obligations of such Affiliate under any Loan Document.

All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Agent or any Bank shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Agent and the Banks and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to any Obligated Party or any of its shareholders or any other Person.

Section 12.5. No Fiduciary Relationship. The relationship between the Obligated Parties on the one hand and Agent and each Bank on the other is solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither Agent nor any Bank has any fiduciary or other special relationship with any Obligated Party, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between the Obligated Parties on the one hand and Agent and each Bank on the other to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

Section 12.6. Equitable Relief. Each Obligated Party recognizes that in the event it fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Loan Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Agent and the Banks. Each Obligated Party therefore agrees that Agent and the Banks, if Agent or the Required Banks so request, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

Section 12.7. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Agent, the Issuing Bank, or any Bank to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 55

right, power, or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

Section 12.8. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Benefit and Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Obligated Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Obligated Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates, officers, directors and agents of each of Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments.

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or Revolving Exposure at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) Borrower, provided no consent of Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank, an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B) Agent, provided that no consent of Agent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Bank.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Agent) shall not be less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) with respect to Revolving Loans unless each of Borrower and Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500).

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 56

For the purposes of this Section 12.8(b), the term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.11 and Section 12.2). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.8 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of Obligated Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans, the interests thereon and LC Disbursements owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Obligated Parties, Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Obligated Parties, the Issuing Bank and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an Eligible Assignee, the Eligible Assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless such assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Bank or the Eligible Assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.7(d), 4.1, 4.7, 4.8, or 11.4, Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(i) Any Bank may, without the consent of Obligated Parties, Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Borrower, Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 57

modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the third sentence of Section 12.11 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, Obligated Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.9 to the same extent as if such Participant were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.7 as though it were a Bank.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a foreign Bank if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.9 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 4.10 as though it were a Bank.

(d) Pledge. Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank (including, without limitation, a Federal Home Loan Bank), and this Section 12.8 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

Section 12.9. Survival. All representations and warranties made in any Loan Document or in any document, statement, or certificate furnished in connection with any Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and no investigation by Agent or any Bank or any closing shall affect the representations and warranties or the right of Agent or any Bank to rely upon them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of Obligated Parties hereunder, the obligations of Obligated Parties under Sections 12.1 and 12.2 shall survive repayment of the Loans and the Revolving Notes, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, and termination of the Commitments.

Section 12.10. Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN EMBODY THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO.

Section 12.11. Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (a) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Obligated Parties and the Required Banks or (b) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Agent and the Obligated Party or Obligated Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Banks; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Bank without the written consent of such Bank, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 58

any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 4.6 in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Bank, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Banks” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Banks required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Bank, (vi) release any Guarantor from its obligation under its Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Bank, or (vii) except as provided in Section 11.8 or in any Loan Document, release all or a material portion of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Bank; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Bank, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 12.11 to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended pursuant to documentation executed in accordance with Section 2.10 which only needs to be signed by the Obligated Parties, the Agent and the Banks increasing or providing new Revolving Commitments thereunder.

Section 12.12. Maximum Interest Rate.

(a) No interest rate specified in any Loan Document shall at any time exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time the interest rate (the “Contract Rate”) for any Obligation shall exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby causing the interest accruing on such Obligation to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Contract Rate for such Obligation shall not reduce the rate of interest on such Obligation below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on such Obligation equals the aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on such Obligation if the Contract Rate for such Obligation had at all times been in effect.

(b) No provision of any Loan Document shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither any Obligated Party nor the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of any Obligated Party shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event any Bank ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the Obligations, and, if the principal of the Obligations has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Obligated Parties and each Bank shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Maximum Rate.

Section 12.13. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for in any Loan Document to which Borrower or any other Obligated Party is a party shall be given or made in writing and telecopied, mailed by certified mail return receipt requested, or delivered, by hand or overnight courier service, to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof and, if to any other Obligated Party, at the address for notices for Borrower, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to each other party given in

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 59

accordance with this Section. Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, all such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted by telecopy, subject to telephone confirmation of receipt, or when personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, three (3) Business Days after being duly deposited in the mails, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid; provided, however, notices to Agent pursuant to Section 4.3 shall not be effective until received by Agent. Notices and other communications to the Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Article II or Sections 4.1 through 4.3 unless otherwise agreed by Agent and the applicable Bank. Agent or any Obligated Party may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto by electronic communications in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

Section 12.14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas (without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof) and the applicable laws of the United States of America.

Section 12.15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and on telecopy counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 12.16. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of any Loan Document and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision held to be invalid or illegal.

Section 12.17. Headings. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.18. Construction. Borrower, each other Obligated Party (by its execution of the Loan Documents to which its is a party), Agent, and each Bank acknowledges that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review the Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that the Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the parties thereto.

Section 12.19. Independence of Covenants. All covenants under the Loan Documents shall be given independent effect so that, if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the permissions of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.

Section 12.20. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF AGENT OR ANY BANK IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

Section 12.21. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Bank that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies Borrower and each Obligated Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain,

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 60

verify and record information that identifies Borrower and the other Obligated Parties, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and the Obligated Party and other information that will allow such Bank to identify Borrower and the other Obligated Parties in accordance with the Act.

Section 12.22. Confidentiality. Each of Agent and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (b) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (c) to any other party hereto, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (f) with the prior written consent of Borrower or (g) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a party to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information received from Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, Agent, or any Bank relating to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses which is marked confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, “Confidential Information” shall not include, and Agent and each Bank may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Agent or such Bank relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, Letters of Credit and transactions contemplated hereby.
