§2.1 Commitment to Lend.

(l) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Revolving Lenders severally agrees to lend to Borrower, and Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Effective Date and the Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon notice by Borrower to Agent given in accordance with §2.6, such sums as are requested by Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.8 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to the lesser of (a) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (b) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing Base; provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or shall result therefrom; and provided, further, that the Outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), plus the Outstanding Letters of Credit, shall not at any time exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.2(b). The Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §11, have been satisfied on the date of such request. No Revolving Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount outstanding which, together with such Lender’s participation interest in Swing Line Loans and Outstanding Letters of Credit, exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. All Revolving Loans heretofore made (or acquired by assignment) by the Revolving Lenders pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement, which are Outstanding on the Effective Date shall be continued under this Agreement and shall be deemed to be Revolving Loans made hereunder.

(m) [Intentionally Omitted]

(n) Swing Line Loans. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, from time to time from the Effective Date to but excluding the fifth (5^th) day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Loans to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time Outstanding up to, but not exceeding Swing Line Commitment; provided, that in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the sum of (A) the Outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Line Loans (after giving effect to the Swing Line Loan being requested), plus (B) the Outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.2(b). If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans Outstanding at such time exceeds the Swing Line Commitment in effect at such time, Borrower shall promptly pay Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Loans hereunder. All Swing Line Loans heretofore made by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement which are Outstanding on the Effective Date shall be continued under this Agreement and shall be deemed to be Swing Line Loans hereunder.

(ii)    Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the rate of interest borne by Base Rate Loans. Interest payable on Swing Line Loans is solely for the

36

account of Swing Line Lender, subject to the participation rights of each Revolving Lender that has fully funded its participation interest in such Swing Line Loans pursuant to §2.1(c)(v). All accrued and unpaid interest on Swing Line Loans shall be payable by Borrower on the dates and in the manner provided in §3 with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as Swing Line Lender and Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swing Line Loan).

(iii)    Each Swing Line Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 or such other minimum amounts agreed to by Swing Line Lender and Borrower from time to time. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swing Line Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which Swing Line Lender and Borrower may agree in writing) and in connection with any such prepayment, Borrower must give Swing Line Lender prior written notice thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the date of such prepayment.

(iv)    Borrower agrees to repay each Swing Line Loan within five (5) days after the date such Swing Line Loan was made; provided, that the proceeds of a Swing Line Loan may not be used to repay a Swing Line Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swing Line Loans on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (or such earlier date as Swing Line Lender and Borrower may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swing Line Loan from Borrower, Swing Line Lender may, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose), request a borrowing of Base Rate Loans from the Revolving Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swing Line Loan, provided that the proposed advance of a Base Rate Loan meets all other requirements for such Advance in this Loan Agreement. The amount limitations of §2.6(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans made pursuant to this subsection. Swing Line Lender shall give notice to Agent of any such borrowing of Base Rate Loans not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) on the proposed date of such borrowing and Agent shall give prompt notice of such borrowing to the Revolving Lenders. No later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on such date, each Revolving Lender will make available to Agent at the Agent’s Head Office for the account of Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender and, to the extent of such Base Rate Loan, such Revolving Lender’s participation in the Swing Line Loan so repaid shall be deemed to be funded by such Base Rate Loan. Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Base Rate Loans to Swing Line Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swing Line Loan.

(v)    At the time each Swing Line Loan is made, each Revolving Lender shall automatically (and without any further notice or action) be deemed to have purchased from Swing Line Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in such Swing Line Loan. If the Revolving Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason, including without limitation, the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default described in §12.1.(h) or §12.1.(i), upon notice from Agent or Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender in respect of such participation the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each outstanding Swing Line Loan. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by any Revolving Lender, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving

37

Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Revolving Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon demand therefor by Agent or Swing Line Lender, and until such time as such Revolving Lender makes the required payment, Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swing Line Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Revolving Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due such Revolving Lender hereunder, to Swing Line Lender to fund Swing Line Loans in the amount of the participation in Swing Line Loans that such Revolving Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

(vi)    A Revolving Lender’s obligation to make payments in respect of a participation in a Swing Line Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender or any other Person may have or claim against Agent, Swing Line Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in §12.1.(h) or §12.1.(i)) or the termination of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

§2.2 Notes.

If requested by a Lender, the Revolving Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by separate revolving promissory notes of Borrower in favor of the Revolving Lenders in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 (“Revolving Loan Notes”), and the Swing Line Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by the Swing Line Note in substantially the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto (“Swing Line Note”), each initially dated as of the Effective Date and completed with appropriate insertions (collectively, the Revolving Loan Notes, the Swing Line Note, any substitute or replacement notes therefor and any new Revolving Loan Notes issued in connection with the increase of the Revolving Commitment, pursuant to §2.9 of this Agreement, the “Notes”). A Revolving Loan Note shall be payable to each Revolving Lender in the principal face amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Swing Line Note shall be payable to the Swing Line Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Line Commitment, or, if less, the Outstanding amount of all Swing Line Loans made by Swing Line Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth in §2.1(c)(ii). Each such Note shall be issued by Borrower to the applicable Lender and shall be duly executed and delivered by an authorized officer of Borrower. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s Record reflecting the making of such Loan or the receipt of such payment. The Outstanding amount of the Loans set forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in

38

so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower, hereunder or under any Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Note when due.

§2.3 Interest on Loans.

(a) Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto or the date on which such LIBOR Rate Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the LIBOR Rate, plus (B) the LIBOR Rate Spread.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, plus (B) the Base Rate Spread.

(c) Borrower promises to pay interest on the Loans in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

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

§2.4 Unused Facility Fee.

Commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages an unused facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated (a) for the period prior to, but not including, the Effective Date, at the following rates:

Unused Amount	Rate
Less than 50% of aggregate Revolving Commitments	0.25	%
50% or more of aggregate Revolving Commitments	0.35	%

and (b) for the period from and after the Effective Date, at the rate of thirty-five one hundredths of one percent (0.35%) per annum, in each case on the average daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Commitments from time to time exceed the sum of the Outstanding Revolving Loans, the Outstanding Swing Line Loans and the Outstanding Letters of Credit during each fiscal quarter or portion thereof (such excess, the “Unused Amount”). The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter of Borrower for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, with a final payment due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; provided, however, that the accrued and unpaid Facility Fee for the period to but not including the Effective Date shall be due and payable in arrears on the Effective Date, for the account of the Revolving Lenders party to the Original Credit Agreement as of the date immediately prior to the Effective Date, and the accrued and unpaid Facility Fee for the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding July 1, 2014, shall be payable to the Revolving Lenders party hereto on July 1,

39

2014. Any payment due under this Section shall be prorated for any partial fiscal quarter. The Facility Fee shall be fully earned when due and non-refundable when paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Facility Fee shall accrue on the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (B) any Facility Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

§2.5 Reduction and Termination of Revolving Commitment.

Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent to reduce by $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided that in no event shall the Revolving Commitments be reduced in such manner to an amount less than $75,000,000 unless all Obligations are being repaid or prepaid and this Agreement is terminated) or to terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the Revolving Commitments, whereupon the Revolving Commitments of Revolving Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Loans, Outstanding Swing Line Loans and Outstanding Letters of Credit would exceed the Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving any notice from Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.5, Agent will notify Lenders of the substance thereof. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, Borrower shall pay to Agent for the respective accounts of Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.4 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitment may be reinstated.

§2.6 Requests for Loans.

(a)Borrower shall give to Agent written notice in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto) of each Loan (other than a Swing Line Loan) requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans.

Subject to §2.1(c)(iv), each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; or (b) for a LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

On the date of the requested Swing Line Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set xxxxx xx §00 for all borrowings, Swing Line Lender will make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available to Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by Borrower in its Request for Swing Line Loan not later than 3:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on such date.

Upon receipt from each Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, Agent will make available to Borrower the aggregate amount of such Loans made available to Agent by the Lenders by crediting such amount to the account of Borrower maintained at Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing. In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the Lender or Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to Borrower the amount of its or their Commitment Percentage for such Loans as provided in §12.4.

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

After adding the Revolving Commitment or the term loan commitment (or both, as applicable) of any Increasing Lender or Subsequent Lender, Agent shall promptly provide each Lender and Borrower with a new Schedule 1.1 to this Agreement (and each Lender acknowledges that its Commitment Percentage under Schedule 1.1 and allocated portion of the Outstanding Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit on the one hand, or the Outstanding term loans on the other (or both, as applicable), will change in accordance with its pro rata share of the increased Revolving Commitments or term loan commitments (or both, as applicable). Unless and until the total Revolving Commitments and/or term loan commitments have been increased in accordance with this §2.9, Borrower shall not be permitted any disbursement beyond the amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to such proposed increase.

§2.10 Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Effective Date through the day that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, each LC Issuer shall issue such Letters

43

of Credit as Borrower may request upon the delivery of a Letter of Credit Request as set forth in §2.10(b), provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed $100,000,000, (iii) upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the amount of all Outstanding Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders, (iv) the conditions set forth in §11 shall have been satisfied, (v) upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the amount of all Outstanding Letters of Credit and Outstanding Loans shall not result in a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.2(b), (vi) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit, and (vii) the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The foregoing requirements shall not limit the ability of Borrower to obtain Letters of Credit in face amounts that are not rounded to the nearest $1,000 or other amount. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement; provided that to the extent any of the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement are contrary to the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The Existing Synovus Letter of Credit and each Prior Letter of Credit shall be continued hereunder and shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that, if and to the extent Agent agrees to reimburse or otherwise indemnify the issuer of the Existing Synovus Letter of Credit or any Prior Letter of Credit for draws thereunder or other obligations of a Loan Party arising in connection therewith, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation in such reimbursement or indemnification obligation of such LC Issuer in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of each such Prior Letter of Credit (if any). The Outstanding amount under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Revolving Commitments as a Revolving Loan.

(b) Letter of Credit Requests. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted by Borrower to the applicable LC Issuer (with a copy to Agent if such LC Issuer is not Agent) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued by such LC Issuer. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an authorized officer of Borrower. Each LC Issuer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower. No LC Issuer shall have the duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to whether such Letter of Credit is a Standby Letter of Credit or a Trade Letter of Credit, and (ii) a certification that the conditions to the issuance of such Letter of Credit set xxxxx xx §00 hereof have been satisfied. Borrower shall further deliver to the applicable LC Issuer such additional applications and documents as such LC Issuer reasonably may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Following the receipt of a Letter of Credit Request (or a copy thereof, as applicable), Agent shall promptly notify each of the Revolving Lenders of the Letter of Credit Request. Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit, under §2.10(i).

(c) LC Issuer Approval. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the applicable LC Issuer, if it reasonably approves of the Letter of Credit Request, shall issue the Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents required in

44

§2.10(b), or at such later date as Borrower may direct in writing. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the applicable LC Issuer in its sole discretion.

(d) Lender Participation. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from the applicable LC Issuer in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(e) Amounts Drawn Considered Loans. If and to the extent that any amounts are drawn upon any Letter of Credit, the amounts so drawn shall, unless reimbursed by Borrower on the date such draw is honored by the applicable LC Issuer, from the date of payment thereof by such Lender, be considered Revolving Loans for all purposes hereunder, bearing interest as provided in §2.3. All such Revolving Loans shall initially be Base Rate Loans. Revolving Lenders shall be required to make such Revolving Loans regardless of whether all of the conditions to disbursement set forth in §11 have been satisfied.

(f) Bankruptcy. If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit by the applicable LC Issuer, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by such LC Issuer or a Lender, one of the events described in §12.1(g), (h) or (i) shall have occurred, each Lender will immediately transfer to the applicable LC Issuer in immediately available funds an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer, such amount to be held by the applicable LC Issuer as security for the payment of the Letters of Credit.

(g) Repayment to Lenders. Whenever at any time after any LC Issuer has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter such LC Issuer receives any payment on account thereof, then such LC Issuer will distribute to such Revolving Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by such LC Issuer is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to such LC Issuer any portion thereof previously distributed by such LC Issuer to it.

(h) Funds for Draws. Upon the receipt by an LC Issuer of any draw or other presentation for payment of a Letter of Credit and the payment of any amount under a Letter of Credit, the applicable LC Issuer shall notify Agent and Agent shall, without notice to or the consent of Borrower, direct Revolving Lenders to fund to such LC Issuer in accordance with §2.7 on or before 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the next Business Day their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of the amount so paid by such LC Issuer. The proceeds of such funding shall be paid to such LC Issuer to reimburse such LC Issuer for the payment made by it under the Letter of Credit. The provisions of §2.7 shall apply to any Revolving Lender or Lenders failing or refusing to fund its Revolving Commitment Percentage of any such draw.

(i) Risks. The Obligations of the Loan Parties to the LC Issuers and Revolving Lenders under this Agreement in connection with the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding any of the following circumstances: (i) any improper use which

45

may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or Revolving Lenders (other than the defense of payment to Revolving Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any statement or any other documents presented to an LC Issuer under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (iv) any breach of any agreement between any Loan Party and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (v) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; and (vi) payment by any LC Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft or a certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit in any non-material respect; provided, that Borrower shall not be precluded from asserting any claim for damages suffered by any Loan Party to the extent caused by the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of any LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit issued by it complied on its face with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(j) Non-Renewal; Cash Collateral. Each LC Issuer may, at its option, during the existence of a Default or Event of Default, elect not to renew any Letter of Credit by giving written notice of non-renewal to Borrower at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit. Each LC Issuer may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time while there exists any Event of Default, direct Agent to make a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to all or any portion of the Outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer hereunder (including fee amounts due), and hold the proceeds thereof in an interest bearing account as collateral security for such Obligations (and such account shall be subject to such LC Issuer’s right to setoff against such amounts under §13 hereof), provided that Agent shall promptly notify Borrower of such action and the application of the proceeds thereof and further provided that all interest earned on proceeds so held shall be applied as and when available to reduce any Obligations outstanding hereunder or, if there are no Obligations outstanding, such interest shall be paid over to Borrower.

(k) Subsequent Issuance. The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.

(l) Extended Letters of Credit; Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding the contrary provisions of §2.10(a), Letters of Credit may be issued with expiry dates later than the scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date upon the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.10(l) (any such Letter of Credit, an “Extended Letter of Credit”). No Extended Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later than one (1) year after the scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date. From the date that is five (5) days prior to the scheduled Revolving Credit Maturity Date and at all times thereafter when any Extended Letters of Credit are Outstanding, Borrower shall maintain cash collateral in a special purpose interest bearing collateral account in the name of Borrower, but subject to the sole dominion and control of Agent, in an amount not less than one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate Extended Letters of Credit then Outstanding.

46

(m) Designation of LC Issuers. Upon request by Borrower and approval by Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), a Lender may at any time agree to be designated as an LC Issuer hereunder, which designation shall be set forth in a written instrument or instruments delivered by Borrower, Agent and such Lender. Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders of such designation. From and after such designation and unless and until such Lender resigns as an LC Issuer in accordance with the further provisions of this §2.10(m), such Lender shall have all of the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer hereunder. An LC Issuer shall continue to be an LC Issuer unless and until (i) it shall have given Borrower and Agent notice that it has elected to resign as an LC Issuer and (ii) unless there is, at the time of such notice, at least one other LC Issuer, another Lender shall have agreed to be a replacement LC Issuer and shall have been approved in writing by Agent and Borrower. A resigning LC Issuer shall continue to have the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer hereunder solely with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore issued by it, notwithstanding the designation of a replacement LC Issuer hereunder, but upon its notice of resignation (or, if at the time of such notice, there is not at least one other LC Issuer, then upon such designation of a replacement LC Issuer), the resigning LC Issuer shall not thereafter issue any Letter of Credit (unless it shall again thereafter be designated as an LC Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this §2.10(m)). The assignment of, or grant of a participation interest in, all or any part of its Commitment or Loans by a Lender that is also an LC Issuer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of any of its rights or obligations as an LC Issuer.

(n) LC Issuer Reporting Requirements. Each LC Issuer shall, no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it showing the issuance date, account party, original face amount, amount (if any) paid thereunder, expiration date and the reference number of each Letter of Credit Outstanding at any time during such month and the aggregate amount (if any) payable by Borrower or other account party to such LC Issuer during the month pursuant to §2.10. Copies of such reports shall be provided to each Lender by Agent within five (5) Business Days following receipt by Agent. Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days following receipt from all LC Issuers of the reports provided for in this §2.10 for the months of March, June, September and December, respectively, deliver to Borrower a quarterly statement of the Letter of Credit Fees then due and payable.

Borrower shall give Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Cleveland time, at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of payment of Loans, the principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be prepaid (if any), and the date on which such prepayment is to be made.

§3.5 Effect of Prepayments.

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS

§4.1 Conversion Options; Number of LIBOR Contracts.

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

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

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

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

§4.2 Certain Fees.

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

§4.3 Letter of Credit Fees.

Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of the applicable LC Issuer, each LC Issuer’s customary issuance fee, not to exceed $400.00 per Letter of Credit, and for the account of the Revolving Lenders a Letter of Credit Fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement. The Letter of Credit Fee with respect to all Letters of Credit shall be equal to four percent (4.0%) per annum on the average of the amount of the Letters of Credit Outstanding for any given month. All Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month. Upon receipt of the Letter of Credit Fee, Agent shall (a) deduct and retain one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the Outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it as a fee due to Agent, (b) deduct and pay to each other LC Issuer one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the Outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuer as a fee due to such LC Issuer, and (c) shall remit to each Revolving Lender a portion of the remaining Letter of Credit Fee equal to each such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the remaining Letter of Credit Fee.

§4.4 Funds for Payments.

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

(b) Unless otherwise required by law, any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or any LC Issuer hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings (collectively, “Taxes”) and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding: (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by the net income (including branch profits or similar Taxes) of, and gross receipts, franchise or similar taxes imposed on, any Lender, any LC Issuer or Agent by the jurisdiction (or subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender, such LC Issuer or Agent is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or in which its applicable lending office is located or in which it is otherwise doing business, (ii) in the case of each Lender, each LC Issuer or Agent, any United States withholding tax imposed on such payments, but other than in the case of an assignee pursuant to the election by Borrower under §4.9, only to the extent that such Lender or Agent is subject to United States withholding tax at the time such Lender, such LC Issuer or Agent first becomes a party to this Agreement or changes its applicable lending office, (iii) any backup withholding tax imposed by the United States of America (or any state or locality thereof) on a Lender, a LC Issuer or Agent, (iv) any Taxes imposed as the result of the failure of a recipient of such payment to comply with §4.4(c) or §18.11, and (v) any Taxes imposed by FATCA (all such excluded Taxes being hereinafter

51

referred to as “Excluded Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender, any LC Issuer or Agent, (A) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this §4.4(b)) such Lender or such LC Issuer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes been required, (B) Borrower shall make such deductions, (C) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (D) Borrower shall furnish to Agent, for delivery to such Lender or such LC Issuer, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(c) Each Lender and each LC Issuer organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, if requested in writing by Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide Borrower with such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) which may, from time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Lender or such LC Issuer, (ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, indicates the withholding status of such Lender or such LC Issuer; provided that nothing herein (including without limitation the failure or inability to provide such form or statement) shall relieve Borrower of its obligations under §4.4(b). In the event that Borrower shall have delivered the certificates or vouchers described above for any payments made by Borrower and such Lender receives a refund of any taxes paid by Borrower pursuant to §4.4(b), such Lender or such LC Issuer will pay to Borrower the amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at any time thereafter such Lender or such LC Issuer is required to return such refund, Borrower shall promptly repay to such Lender or such LC Issuer the amount of such refund.

(d) Each Lender and each LC Issuer that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States shall comply with any certification, documentation, information or other reporting necessary to establish an exemption from withholding under FATCA and shall provide any other documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent sufficient for Agent and Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or such LC Issuer has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

(e) Each Lender, each LC Issuer and Agent that is a United States person (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, upon the request of Borrower, provide a duly executed IRS Form W‑9 to Borrower certifying that such Lender or such LC Issuer is exempt from backup withholding.

§4.5 Computations.

All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year (or, in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans, a 365/366-day year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during

52

such extension. The outstanding amount of the Loans as reflected on the records of Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount.

§4.6 Inability to Determine LIBOR Rate.

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

§4.7 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to Agent and Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or convert Loans of another type to LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans.

§4.8 Additional Interest.

If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, Borrower will pay to Agent upon demand for the account of Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, any amounts required to compensate Lenders for any losses, costs or expenses (but not loss of profit) which may reasonably be incurred as a result of such payment or conversion, including, without limitation, an amount equal to daily interest for the unexpired portion of such Interest Period on the LIBOR Rate Loan or portion thereof so repaid or converted at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the interest rate calculated on the basis of the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan (excluding any spread over such LIBOR Rate) minus (b) the yield obtainable by Agent upon the purchase of debt securities customarily issued by the Treasury of the United States of America which have a maturity date most closely approximating the last day of such Interest Period (it being understood that the purchase of such securities shall not be required in order for such amounts to be payable and that a Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually obtained funds at the LIBOR Rate or to have actually reinvested such amount as described above).

§4.9 Additional Costs, Etc.

Subject to §4.4, if any present or future applicable law, or any amendment or modification of present applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and legally binding interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official with appropriate jurisdiction charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender, any LC Issuer or Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law) and including, without limitation, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives under or issued in connection therewith (collectively, “Xxxx-Xxxxx”) and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III (collectively, “Basel III”), shall:

(a) subject any Lender, any LC Issuer or Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit, participation in a Letter of Credit or the Loans (other than Excluded Taxes), or

(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on income or profits) of payments to any Lender or any LC Issuer of the principal of or the interest on any Loans or any Letter of Credit or participation therein or any other amounts payable to any Lender or any LC Issuer under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or

(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or Loans or Letters of Credit by, or commitments of an office of any Lender or any LC Issuer, or

(d) impose on any Lender, any LC Issuer or Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit or participation therein or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or Letters of Credit or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part, and the result of any of the foregoing is

(i) to increase the cost to any Lender or LC Issuer of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining any of the Loans or Letters of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letters of Credit) or such Lender’s Commitment, or

(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to such Lender, such LC Issuer or Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or Letters of Credit, or

54

(iii) to require such Lender, such LC Issuer or Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender, such LC Issuer or Agent from Borrower hereunder;

then, and in each such case, Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender, such LC Issuer or (as the case may be) Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender, such LC Issuer or Agent such additional amounts as such Lender, such LC Issuer or Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender, such LC Issuer or Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Lender, each LC Issuer and Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods, generally applied by such Lender, such LC Issuer or Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making the payment referred to in this §4.9, to prepay the Loans of the applicable Lender within fifteen (15) days of such demand and avoid the payment of the amounts otherwise due under this §4.9 or to cause the applicable Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments in accordance with §18.8, provided, however, that Borrower shall be required to pay together with such prepayment of the Loan all other costs, damages and expenses otherwise due under this Agreement as a result of such prepayment.

§4.10 Capital Adequacy.

If after the Effective Date any Lender or any LC Issuer determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) regarding liquidity or capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the administration thereof, and for purposes hereof, Xxxx-Xxxxx and Basel III shall each be deemed a change described herein regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or (b) compliance by such Lender or such LC Issuer or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding liquidity and capital adequacy or any amendment or change in interpretation of any existing guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s, such LC Issuer’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or such LC Issuer’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, such LC Issuer or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s, such LC Issuer’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to liquidity and capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender or such LC Issuer to be material, then such Lender or such LC Issuer may notify Borrower thereof. Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender or such LC Issuer the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender or such LC Issuer of a statement of the amount setting for such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender or such LC Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of making the payment referred to in this §4.10, to prepay the Loans of the applicable Lender within fifteen (15) days of such demand and avoid the payment of the amounts otherwise due under this §4.10 or to cause the applicable Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments in accordance with §18.8, provided, however, that

55

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

§4.11 Indemnity by Borrower.

Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from and against any loss, cost or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or any interest on any LIBOR Rate Loans as and when due and payable, including any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, or (b) default by Borrower in making a borrowing or conversion after Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Conversion Request, or (c) default by Borrower in making the payments or performing their obligations under §§4.8, 4.9, 4.10 or 4.12.

§4.12 Interest on Overdue Amounts; Late Charge.

Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, at the election of the Required Lenders, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the rate that would otherwise be applicable at such time (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if such rate shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law. In addition, Borrower shall pay Agent, for the account of the applicable Lenders, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due. Such late charge is and shall be deemed to be a charge to compensate Agent and Lenders for administrative services and costs incurred in connection with the related delinquent payment and shall under no circumstances constitute or be deemed to be a charge for the use of money.

§4.13 Certificate.

A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation and calculation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender, any LC Issuer or Agent to Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

§4.14 Limitation on Interest.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all agreements between Borrower and Lenders and Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by

56

applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This section shall control all agreements between Borrower and Lenders and Agent.

Such evaluations shall set forth the specific Appraised Value of the High Value Timberland. On an annual basis, Borrower shall cause the value of such properties to be re-evaluated. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of all such evaluations and re-evaluations.

(b) Agent on behalf of Lenders shall require annual updates of the evaluation with respect to the Timberland performed by any third-party consultant selected and engaged by Agent, which will be ordered by Agent and reviewed and approved by Agent from time to time in order to determine the current Timberland Value, and Borrower shall pay to Agent on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of all such evaluation updates; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and regulatory requirements of any Lender generally applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall not require such evaluation updates more frequently than annually, Borrower shall not be required to pay for such evaluation updates more often than once in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months.

(c) Agent on behalf of Lenders shall require “as is” Appraisals of the Raw Entitled Land and Entitled Land Under Development, in each case performed by MAI appraisers selected and engaged by Agent, which Appraisals will be ordered by Agent and reviewed and approved by Agent from time to time, and will cover a minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining Lot portfolio and seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining commercial acreage (both as selected by Agent) in order to determine the current Raw Entitled Land Value and the Entitled Land Under Development Value, as the case may be. On an annual basis, such properties shall be reappraised. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of all such Appraisals and reappraisals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, however, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and regulatory requirements of any Lender generally applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall not require such Appraisals or reappraisals more frequently than annually, Borrower shall not be required to pay for such Appraisals or reappraisals more often than once in any period of twelve (12) consecutive months.

Borrower further agrees that Lenders and Agent shall have no liability as a result of or in connection with any such Appraisal or Engineering Report for statements contained in such Appraisal or Engineering Report, including without limitation, the accuracy and completeness of information, estimates, conclusions and opinions contained in such Appraisal or Engineering Report, or variance of such Appraisal or Engineering Report from the fair value of such property that is the subject of such Appraisal or Engineering Report given by the local tax assessor’s office, or Borrower’s idea of the value of such property.

(f) If Borrower does not comply with the requirement to provide additional Security Deeds and Title Evidence in accordance with the last sentence of §5.8(a) within the time period provided herein, such failure shall, in and of itself, not constitute a Default but the shortfall in the amount required to cause Borrower to be in compliance with such requirement, as reasonably determined by Agent, shall be deducted as a reserve from the Borrowing Base.

(g) That portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to the Credo Reserves Component shall be redetermined from time to time based on the Engineering Report delivered pursuant to §7.4(k). The Credo Reserves Component as so redetermined shall be included in the Credo Borrowing Base Value (and therefore in the Borrowing Base, in accordance with the definition of such term) until the effective date of the next redetermination of the Credo Reserves Component in accordance with this §5.8.

(h) Borrower may, by written notice, request that the portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to the Credo Reserves Component be redetermined from time to time, but not more often than once between two consecutive scheduled deliveries of Engineering Reports, on the basis of an Engineering Report updating the most recently delivered Engineering Report. The Credo Reserves Component as so redetermined shall be included in the Credo Borrowing Base Value (and therefore in the Borrowing Base) until the effective date of the next redetermination of the Credo Reserves Component in accordance with this §5.8.

§12.2 Limitation of Cure Periods.

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

(q) In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans and other Obligations pursuant to §12.1, Agent on behalf of Lenders may, and upon direction of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right. No remedy herein conferred upon Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.

108

In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of Lenders, Lenders acknowledge and agree that only Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default, including without limitation, bringing any suit for collection of any Note. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Outstanding Letters of Credit shall, at the Required Lenders’ option, without demand or further notice to Borrower, be deemed to have been paid or disbursed by the applicable LC Issuer under the Letter of Credit and a Revolving Loan to Borrower from the Revolving Lenders in such amount to have been made and accepted, which Revolving Loan shall be immediately due and payable.

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

(b) Second, to all other Obligations in the following order: (i) first to the payment of any fees or charges (other than Letter of Credit fees and Facility Fees) outstanding hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (excluding any Hedge Agreements or Commodity Hedge Agreements), (ii) next to any accrued and outstanding Default Rate interest, (iii) next to any accrued and outstanding interest under the Swing Line Loans, (iv) next to any accrued and outstanding Letter of Credit Fees, Facility Fees, and interest on the Loans (other than interest on the Swing Line Loans), (v) next to any Outstanding principal on the Swing Line Loans, (vi) next, pro rata, to any Outstanding principal on the Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) and Obligations with respect to any Hedge Agreement or Commodity Hedge Agreement, and (vii) last to any remaining Obligations in such order as the Required Lenders may determine; provided, however, that (A) in the event that any Lender shall have wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under §2.6, §2.7 or §2.10 and such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by other Lenders during the pendency of such failure or refusal shall be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other Obligations described in this subsection (b), and (B) Obligations owing to Revolving Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses, shall be made among such Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, without

109

preference or priority; and provided, further, that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

(c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch of where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from Agent or any of Lenders to any of the Loan Parties and any securities or other property of the Loan Parties in the possession of Agent or any Lender may be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Loan Parties to such Lender. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event Default, any Lender, including Agent with respect to the Advance Account, may, but shall not be obligated to freeze withdrawals from any account of the Loan Parties held by such Lender. Each Lender agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from any Loan Party or Loan Parties, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments received by all of Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

§14. THE AGENT

§14.1 Authorization.

Each of the Lenders and each of the LC Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints KeyBank to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by Agent. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in the Collateral Trust Agreement with respect to Agent’s role as Priority Collateral Trustee thereunder, the obligations of Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute Agent as a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or any LC Issuer or to create any agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of Lenders and LC Issuers hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that (except in its capacity as Priority Collateral Trustee, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in the Collateral Trust

110

Agreement), Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind Lenders and LC Issuers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§14.2 Employees and Agents.

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

§14.3 No Liability.

Neither Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to Lenders and LC Issuers for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or a LC Issuer, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such LC Issuer unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such LC Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, as applicable. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

111

§14.4 No Representations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

112

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

§14.5 Payments.

(e) A payment by Borrower to Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender or any LC Issuer shall constitute a payment to such Lender or such LC Issuer. Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender and each LC Issuer not later than one (1) Business Day after Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s pro rata share of payments received by Agent for the account of Lenders or LC Issuers except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swing Line Loans shall be for the account of Swing Line Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired and funded a participating interest in any such Swing Line Loan pursuant to §2.1(c), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

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

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (i) to make available to Agent its pro rata share of any Loan that it is obligated to make available under the terms of this Agreement, unless such obligation is the subject of a bona fide, good faith dispute of which the Agent has received written notice from such Lender (it being agreed that any such notice given later than three (3) Business Days after such failure shall be ineffective for purposes of this paragraph (c)), or (ii) to comply with the provisions of §13 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where such Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such payments due and payable to all of Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from Borrower, whether on account of Outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining

113

non-Delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes Agent to distribute such payments to the non-Delinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency, and to no longer be a Delinquent Lender, when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all outstanding Loans of the non-Delinquent Lenders or as a result of other payments by the Delinquent Lenders to the non-Delinquent Lenders, Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

§14.6 Holders of Notes.

Subject to the terms of §18, Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.

§14.7 Indemnity.

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

§14.8 Agent as Lender.

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

§14.9 Resignation.

Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders, LC Issuers and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent any Lender or any other bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less

114

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

§14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement.

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

115

§14.11 Request for Agent Action.

Agent and Lenders acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business of Borrower, (a) the Loan Parties may enter into Leases covering the Mortgaged Property and the Negative Pledge Property that may require the execution of a subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreement, (b) the Mortgaged Property and the Negative Pledge Property may be subject to a condemnation or other taking, (c) the Loan Parties may desire to enter into easements or other agreements affecting the Mortgaged Property or the Negative Pledge Property, record a subdivision plat, dedicate roads or utilities, or take other actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business which similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of Agent. In connection with the foregoing, Lenders hereby expressly authorize Agent to (a) execute and deliver with the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties and any tenant, subordination, attornment and non-disturbance agreements with respect to any lease upon such terms as Agent in its good faith reasonable judgment determines are appropriate (Agent in the exercise of its good faith reasonable judgment may agree to allow some or all of the casualty, condemnation, restoration or other provisions of the applicable lease to control over the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents), (b) execute consents or subordinations in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent in connection with any easements, agreements, plats, dedications or similar matters affecting the Mortgaged Property or Negative Pledge Property, or (c) execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be desirable by Agent or any tenant necessary in the ordinary course of the Loan Parties’ respective businesses. Lenders further expressly authorize Agent to (i) execute consents or releases of Liens of Mortgaged Property, Equity Interests and other items of Collateral in connection with dispositions pursuant to §8.8 of this Agreement or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement or in connection with any condemnation or other taking and (ii) to release any Lien on any assets of the Loan Parties granted to or otherwise held by Agent under or in connection with the Original Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date that is not required to be Collateral under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as in effect from and after the Effective Date. In addition, Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute and deliver any intercreditor agreement, collateral trust or similar agreement contemplated by §8.2(xviii) and to enter into such modifications of the Security Documents, if any, as Agent may determine necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of any such intercreditor agreement, collateral trust or similar agreement and the transactions and amendments contemplated thereby.

§14.12 Removal of Agent.

The Required Lenders may remove Agent from its capacity as agent in the event of Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Such removal shall be effective upon appointment and acceptance of a successor agent selected by the Required Lenders. Any successor Agent must satisfy the conditions set forth in §14.9. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the removed Agent, and the removed Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations as Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents (subject to Agent’s right to be indemnified as provided in the Loan Documents); provided that Agent shall remain liable to the extent provided herein or in the Loan Documents for its acts or omissions occurring prior to such removal or resignation.

116

§14.13 Bankruptcy.

In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against any of the Loan Parties, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and duty to file and pursue a joint proof of claim on behalf of all Lenders. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings.

§14.14 Collateral Trust Agreement.

(a) Each of the Lenders (and by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Affiliate thereof from time to time party to any Hedge Agreement or Commodity Hedge Agreement under which any Loan Party’s obligations and liabilities constitute Obligations) hereby ratifies and confirms the execution and delivery by KeyBank, as Agent and as Priority Collateral Trustee, of the Collateral Trust Agreement, and hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as Priority Collateral Trustee under the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) Each of the Lenders (and by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Affiliate thereof from time to time party to any Hedge Agreement or Commodity Hedge Agreement under which any Loan Party’s obligations and liabilities constitute Obligations) hereby acknowledges:

(i) that each Series (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) of Priority Lien Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) will be and are secured equally and ratably by all Priority Liens (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) at any time granted by Borrower or any other Grantor (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) to secure any Obligations in respect of such Series of Priority Lien Debt (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement), whether or not upon property otherwise constituting collateral for such Series of Priority Lien Debt, and that all such Priority Liens will be enforceable by Priority Collateral Trustee for the benefit of each series of Priority Lien Obligations equally and ratably;

(ii) that the holders of Obligations in respect of such Series of Priority Lien Debt are bound by the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement, including the provisions relating to the ranking of Priority Liens and order of application of proceeds from the enforcement of Priority Liens;

(iii) consents and directs Priority Collateral Trustee to perform its obligations under the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Security Documents; and

(iv) that the acknowledgments in this §14.14 constitute a Lien Sharing and Priority Confirmation as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture.

(c) Each of the Lenders (and each of its Affiliates as described in clause (a) above) hereby authorizes Priority Collateral Trustee to take such action and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Priority Collateral Trustee by the terms of this Agreement or the Collateral Trust Agreement, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by Priority Collateral Trustee. Priority Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to all privileges,

117

protections, indemnification and immunities to which Agent is entitled hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and all costs, expenses, fees and other liabilities incurred by Priority Collateral Trustee from time to time shall be subject to reimbursement or indemnification hereunder to the same extent as if they had been incurred by Agent. Each of the parties to this Agreement (and each Lender Affiliate as described in clause (a) above) acknowledges and agrees that, as and to the extent contemplated or required by the Collateral Trust Agreement, all Collateral held by Agent and all Security Documents heretofore or from time to time hereafter executed and delivered by any Loan Party in favor of Agent shall be deemed held in Agent’s capacity as Priority Collateral Trustee, and Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to execute and deliver such assignments, amendments or other documentation in favor of Priority Collateral Trustee which it deems necessary to vest any of the Collateral in Priority Collateral Trustee.

§14.15 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty.

Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (a) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee under §34 or any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under such Guarantee and the Security Documents may be exercised solely by Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Loan Document Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Agent at such sale or other disposition.

§15. EXPENSES

Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable and documented costs of producing and reproducing this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b) any taxes (including any interest and penalties in respect thereto) payable by Agent, any of Lenders or any LC Issuers, including any recording, mortgage, documentary or intangibles taxes in connection with the Security Deeds and other Loan Documents, or other taxes payable on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than Excluded Taxes, except that Agent, Lenders and LC Issuers shall be entitled to indemnification for any and all amounts paid by them in respect of taxes based on income or other taxes assessed by any State in which Mortgaged Property or other Collateral is located, such indemnification to be limited to taxes due solely on account of the granting of Collateral under the Security Documents, including any such taxes payable by Agent, any of Lenders or any LC Issuer after the Effective Date (Borrower hereby agreeing to indemnify Agent and each Lender with respect thereto)), (c) all appraisal fees, engineer’s fees, charges of Agent for commercial finance exams and engineering and environmental reviews and the reasonable and documented fees, expenses and disbursements of Agent, Agent’s Special Counsel and any other counsel to Agent, counsel for KeyBank and any local counsel to Agent incurred in connection with the performance of due diligence

§16. INDEMNIFICATION

Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent, Lenders and LC Issuers and each director, officer, employee, agent and Person who controls Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer from and against any and all claims, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby including, without limitation, (a) any leasing fees and any brokerage, finders or similar fees asserted against any Person indemnified under this §16 based upon any agreement, arrangement or action made or taken, or alleged to have been made or taken, by any of the Loan Parties, (b) any condition, use, operation or occupancy of a Mortgaged Property or other Collateral other than with respect to matters relating to such Mortgaged Property and/or the Collateral first occurring after Agent or its nominee acquires title to such Mortgaged Property by the exercise of its foreclosure remedies or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, (c) any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or any actual or proposed use of a Letter of Credit by any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (including any refusal by any LC Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (d) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service xxxx or similar right of any of the Loan Parties comprised

In litigation, or the preparation therefor, Lenders, LC Issuers and Agent shall be entitled to select a single law firm as their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, Borrower agrees to pay promptly all Court costs and other expenses of litigation incurred by Agent, Lenders and LC Issuers, including the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower under this §16 are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. There shall be specifically excluded from the foregoing indemnification any claims, actions, suits, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses arising from disputes among Lenders or LC Issuers with respect to the Loans, Letters of Credit or the Loan Documents. In the event that any such claims, actions, suits, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses involve both a dispute among Lenders and LC Issuers, or any of them and other matters covered by this indemnification provision, Agent shall make a reasonable good faith allocation of all losses, damages and expenses incurred between Lenders’ and LC Issuers’ dispute and the other matters covered by this indemnification provision, which allocation by Agent shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties hereto. All amounts payable by Borrower pursuant to this §16 shall constitute Obligations until paid in full by Borrower. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless Agent as provided herein shall also apply to Agent acting as Priority Collateral Trustee. The provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the obligations of Lenders and LC Issuers hereunder.

§17. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lenders and Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by Lenders of any of the Loans and the issuance by LC Issuers of any Letter of Credit, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long

120

§18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION

§18.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders.

(h) Each Lender shall have the right to assign, transfer, sell, negotiate, pledge or otherwise hypothecate this Agreement and any of its rights and security hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any other Eligible Assignee with the prior written consent of Agent and with the prior written consent of Borrower, which consents by Agent and Borrower shall not unreasonably withheld or conditioned and shall be given or denied in each case within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any request for consent (provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required if the Eligible Assignee is also a Lender or an Affiliate thereof or if an Event of Default then exists) and no consent of Agent shall be required if the Eligible Assignee is also a Lender or an Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that (i) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its approval and acceptance, an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), (ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) if the potential assignee is not already a Lender hereunder, at least ten (10) days prior to the settlement date of the assignment, the potential assignee shall deliver to Agent the fully completed Patriot Act and OFAC forms attached as Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof and such other information as Agent shall require to successfully complete Agent’s Patriot Act Customer Identification Process and OFAC Review Process, (iv) unless Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower otherwise consent, the aggregate amount of the total Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment shall in no event be less than $2,000,000 and no less than $1,000,000, (v) Agent shall receive from the assigning Lender a processing fee of $3,500, (vi) if the assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire interest in the Loans, the assigning Lender must retain at least a $5,000,000 Revolving Commitment, unless the assigning Lender assigns its entire interest under the Revolving Commitment, in which case, the assigning Lender must retain at least a $5,000,000 Revolving Commitment. Upon such execution, delivery, approval and acceptance, and upon the effective date specified in the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (a) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and Borrower hereby agrees that all of the rights and remedies of Lenders in connection with the interest so assigned shall be enforceable against Borrower by an Eligible Assignee with the same force and effect and to the

121

same extent as the same would have been enforceable but for such assignment provided that no assignment shall increase Borrower's obligations under §4.4 or §4.9, (b) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and (c) Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1.1 to reflect such assignment. For purposes of this paragraph, in connection with any assignment or simultaneous, multiple assignments by any Lender which is a fund to one or more of its Related Funds: (1) compliance with the minimum amounts for assigned Commitments and Loans, and for retained Commitments and Loans as hereinabove provided shall be determined in the aggregate for such assigning fund and any of its Related Funds that are or are to become Lenders as part of any assignment transaction or simultaneous, multiple assignment transactions; (2) after giving effect to such assignment or assignments, no such assignor or assignee fund in connection with a partial assignment of the assigning fund’s Revolving Commitment shall hold a Revolving Commitment of less than $5,000,000, and (3) only one processing fee shall be payable to Agent in connection with simultaneous, multiple assignment transactions.

(i) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Eligible Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) except as provided in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or any other Loan Party or the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished in connection therewith; (iii) such Eligible Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement together with such financial statements, Loan Documents and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to become a Lender hereunder; (iv) such Eligible Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, the assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Eligible Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vi) such Eligible Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

§18.2 Register.

Agent shall maintain a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitment Percentages, Revolving Commitment Percentages of, and principal amount of (and interest on) the Loans owing to Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the

122

absence of manifest error, and the Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

§18.3 New Notes.

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

§18.4 Participations.

Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder to Borrower, (b) such participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (c) such participant shall have no direct rights against any of the Loan Parties except the rights granted to Lenders pursuant to §13, (d) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and (e) such participant shall not be a Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, any of the Loan Parties. Any Lender which sells a participation shall promptly notify Agent and Borrower of such sale and the identity of the purchaser of the interest.

§18.5 Pledge by Lender.

Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation, (a) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341, to any Federal Home Loan Bank or to any institution within the Farm Credit System, and (b) for any Lender that is a fund, any pledge or assignment to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender including any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders. In addition, any Lender may, with the consent of Agent (which may be granted or withheld in Agent’s sole discretion) pledge all or any portion of its interests and rights under the Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note

123

or Notes) to a Person approved by Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no pledge permitted pursuant to this Section or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

§18.6 No Assignment by Borrower.

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

§18.7 Cooperation; Disclosure.

Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard lending practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder, subject to the provisions of §18.10. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated hereby. In order to facilitate assignments to Eligible Assignees and sales to Eligible Assignees, the Loan Parties shall execute such further documents, instruments or agreements as Lenders may reasonably require. In addition, the Loan Parties agree to cooperate fully with Lenders in the exercise of Lenders’ rights pursuant to this Section, including providing such information and documentation regarding the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures as any Lender or any potential Eligible Assignee or participant may reasonably request and to meet with potential Eligible Assignees.

§18.8 Mandatory Assignment.

In the event (i) Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent or Required Lenders but is not approved by one or more of Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), (ii) Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to §4.4 or §4.9, or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in §4.10, or (iii) any Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment defaults in the obligation to make Revolving loans hereunder or is otherwise a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender shall hereafter be referred to as an “Affected Lender”) then, within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, or, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) above at any time after the occurrence of such event, Borrower shall have the right as to such Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written

124

notice delivered to Agent and the Affected Lender, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Loans and Commitments. Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by Agent). In the event that Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitment, then Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Loans and Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Loans and Commitments of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including, without limitation, an assignment and assumption agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and such Affected Lender’s original Note. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees, plus any applicable prepayment fees which would be owed to such Affected Lender if the Loans were to be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Affected Lender’s Commitment.

§18.9 Co-Agents, Syndication Agent, and Co-Documentation Agent.

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

§18.10 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

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

125

as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower.

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

§18.11 Withholding Tax.

(a) If any Lender is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code and such Lender is entitled to claim exemption from, or a reduction of, United States withholding tax under Sections 1441 or 1442 of the Code, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrower, to deliver to Agent and Borrower:

(i) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed IRS Form W‑8BEN before the payment of any interest in the first calendar year and before the payment of any interest in each third succeeding calendar year during which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

(ii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two (2) properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W‑8ECI before the payment of any interest is due in the first taxable year of such Lender and in each succeeding taxable year of such Lender during which interest may be paid under this Agreement;

(iii) such other form or forms as may be required under the Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax; and

(iv) in the case of any Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Sections 871(b) or 881(c) of the Code, with respect to payments of “Portfolio Interest,” a Form W‑8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, and if the Lender delivers a Form W‑8BEN, a certificate representing that such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a ten percent (10%) shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(b) of the Code) of Borrower, and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code).

Each such certificate and form shall be properly completed and duly executed by such Lender claiming complete exemption from or a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments by Borrower under the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify Agent and Borrower

126

of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(b) If any Lender claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W‑8BEN, and such Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower and the other Loan Parties to such Lender, such Lender agrees to notify Agent and Borrower of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s IRS Form W‑8BEN as no longer valid.

(c) If any Lender claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W‑8ECI with Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, such Lender agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(d) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by §18.11(a) above are not delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

(e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent or Borrower did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent or Borrower of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify Agent and Borrower fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent or Borrower as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent or Borrower under this §18.11, together with all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses). The obligation of Lenders under this subsection (e) shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

(viii) any postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on, or fees in respect of, the Loans owing to such Lender except as provided in §3.1(b) with respect to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date;

(ix) any change in the manner of distribution of any payments to such Lender;

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

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

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

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

(ii) increase the aggregate Revolving Commitments over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of the Required Lenders (other than pursuant to and in accordance with §2.9);

(iii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the Swing Line Commitment or the Swing Line Loans without the consent of Swing Line Lender;

(iv) amend the definition of Required Lenders without the consent of Required Lenders; provided, subject to §27(b)(viii), additional extensions of credit pursuant hereto may be included in the determination of such Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the Effective Date;

(v) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision hereof relating to the issuance of any Letters of Credit or the Letters of Credit without the consent of each LC Issuer;

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

(ix) any modification to require a Revolving Lender to fund a pro rata share of a request for a Revolving Loan made by Borrower other than based on its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage, without the unanimous consent of all Lenders affected by such modification.

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

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this §27:

(i) This Agreement may be amended with the written consent of Agent, Borrower and the Required Lenders to (A) add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans (and any term loan facility added hereunder) and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (B) include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(ii) any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and Agent (and, if its rights or obligations are affected thereby, the Swing Line Lender or any LC Issuer) if (1) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (2) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a replacement Lender in accordance with §2.3 hereof) in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

(iii) Agent and the Loan Parties (and the Swing Line Lender and any LC Issuer affected by the proposed amendment, modification or supplement) may amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of any other

134

Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error, mistake or other manifest error in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and upon Agent’s request, each applicable Loan Party shall execute and deliver any such amendment, modification or supplement.

§28. SEVERABILITY

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

§29. NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS

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

§30. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS

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

§31. REPLACEMENT OF NOTES

Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to such Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, such Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as of the date of the applicable Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.

§32. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

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

§33. RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan

135

Documents. All conditions to the performance of the obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Agent and Lenders will refuse to make Loans in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Agent and Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so. In particular, Agent and Lenders make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction by Borrower of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.

§34. GUARANTY    

§34.1 The Guaranty.

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

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

§34.2 Obligations Unconditional.     

The obligations of Guarantors under §34.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or other documents relating to the Obligations, or any substitution, compromise, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or

136

guarantor, it being the intent of this §34.2 that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this §34 until such time as the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and the commitments relating thereto have expired or been terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

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

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

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

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

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

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

137

§34.3 Reinstatement.     

Neither Guarantors’ obligations hereunder nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor, by reason of Borrower’s or any other Guarantor’s bankruptcy or insolvency or by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Guarantors under this §34 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Agent and each holder of Guaranteed Obligations on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of any law firm or other outside counsel incurred by the Agent) incurred by Agent or such holder of Guaranteed Obligations in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any Debtor Relief Law.

§34.4 Certain Waivers.     

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

§34.5 Remedies.     

Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as between Guarantors, on the one hand, and Agent and the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in §12.1 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in §12.1) for purposes of §34.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Guaranteed

138

Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by Guarantors for purposes of §34.1. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that if the Guaranteed Obligations are secured pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents, the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

§34.6 Rights of Contribution.    

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

§34.7 Guaranty of Payment; Continuing Guaranty.    

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

§34.8 Special Provisions Applicable to Guarantors and other Loan Parties.    

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

139

obligations of any other Guarantor that have been guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of Borrower and all of Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors hereunder) of Borrower and all of Guarantors, all as of the Effective Date.

(b)    Pursuant to §7.21 of this Agreement, each new wholly owned, direct or indirect Subsidiary of Borrower (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), and each Excluded Subsidiary that is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, and that ceases to qualify as an Excluded Subsidiary, is required to enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering to Agent a Joinder Agreement (Guarantor). Upon the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement (Guarantor) by such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any Joinder Agreement (Guarantor) adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor hereunder.

(c)    Each Qualified ECP Guarantor (as defined below) hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds and other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty and the other Credit Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section, or otherwise under this Guaranty or any other Credit Document, voidable under Debtor Relief Laws and not for any greater amount). Subject to §34.2, the obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all the obligations of the Guarantors shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments terminated. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section, “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Loan Party that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

§35. EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; NO NOVATION

The amendment and restatement of the Original Credit Agreement pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective upon the Effective Date. All obligations and rights of the Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders relating to the period commencing on the Effective Date shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Second Amendment; the obligations and rights of the Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders relating to the period prior to the Effective Date shall continue to be governed by the Original Credit Agreement without giving effect to the amendment and restatement

140

provided for herein. The “Obligations” under the Original Credit Agreement are in all respects continuing with only the terms thereof being modified as provided in this Agreement and, except as expressly provided herein, the Liens as granted under the Security Documents securing payment of such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and secure the payment of the Obligations defined herein and are fully ratified and affirmed. This Agreement shall not constitute a novation or termination of the Loan Parties’ obligations under the Original Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the obligations of the Guarantors under §34 of the Original Credit Agreement) or any document, note or agreement executed or delivered in connection therewith, but shall constitute an amendment and restatement of the obligations and covenants of the Loan Parties under such documents, notes and agreements, and the Loan Parties hereby reaffirm all such obligations and covenants, as amended and restated hereby.
