Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, each Lender severally agrees to purchase the Bonds and make Advances pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.06 hereof. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds shall be equal to 100% of the amount of all Advances made pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof during the Draw Down Period less any repayments of principal; provided that after giving effect to each Advance the Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds purchased by such Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Bond Purchase Commitment.

SECTION 2.02. Bond Interest and Principal Payments.

(a) General. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds will bear interest at the Direct Purchase Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time as such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, the Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds will be due and payable as set forth in the Indenture. The Bonds are subject to optional and mandatory redemption as set forth in the Indenture. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds will be repaid as set forth in the Indenture. Except as otherwise set forth above, any amounts owing under this Agreement that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Default Rate.

(b) LIBOR Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

If on any date on which a LIBOR Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined that:

(i)

adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, or

(ii)

a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 2.02(d).

(c) Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time any Lender shall have reasonably determined that:

(i) the holding of the Bonds or the making, maintenance or funding of any Advance has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request, policy or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

(ii) LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of holding the Bonds or funding of an Advance, or

(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars for the relevant Interest Period, or to banks generally, to which LIBOR applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to holding the Bonds or making an Advance, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,

then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 2.02(d) and Borrower shall have the rights specified in Section 3.05. A Lender shall not deliver a notice under Section 2.02(c)(ii) or (iii) unless Lender certifies in such notice that it is such Lender’s directive to impose this modification to all other loans or other extensions of credit then held by such Lender with a LIBOR-based rate of interest.

(d) Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 2.02(b) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 2.02(c) above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower.

SECTION 2.03. Optional Tender of the Bonds.

Each Lender acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to optional tender by each Lender for purchase by the Borrower, on the Business Day immediately succeeding the conclusion of each Direct Purchase Rate Period (initially November 1, 2015) (each, a “Purchase Date”) at a purchase price of 100% of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds held by such Lender plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Purchase Date. To exercise such option to tender such Lender’s Bonds on a Purchase Date, such Lender must provide written notice in strict compliance with Section 6.4 of the Indenture to the Borrower and the required parties set forth therein. Upon exercise of such option, the Borrower shall be required to purchase, or cause the purchase of, the Bonds from such Lender on the Purchase Date. Upon receipt of the Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds held by such Lender and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Purchase Date, such Lender shall cause the transfer of its Bonds and assign all of its rights thereunder to the Borrower or its assigns. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that if it does not exercise its option to tender its Bonds at the end of the Initial Direct Purchase Rate Period, the earliest it would be afforded the option to tender its Bonds would be at the end of the next succeeding Direct Purchase Rate Period.

SECTION 2.04. Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Purchase of Bonds and Advances.

Each Lender hereby agrees to purchase Bonds in an amount equal to its Bond Purchase Commitment. Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request to make Advances pursuant to Section 2.06 in accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate of Advances of each Lender hereunder shall at no time exceed its Bond Purchase Commitment. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make an Advance hereunder after end of the Draw Down Period.

SECTION 2.05. Commitment Fees.

Accruing from the date hereof until the end of the Draw Down Period, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) times the average daily difference between the amount of (i) the Bond Purchase Commitments and the (ii) the Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds; provided, however, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Bond Purchase 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 except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Bond Purchase Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, as applicable, commencing in January of 2011.

SECTION 2.06. Advance Requests.

Other than for the initial Advance on the Closing Date, and except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may, from time to time during the Draw Down Period, request that the Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds be increased by requesting that the Lenders make an Advance exactly equal to such increase, by delivering to the Administrative Agent, not later than 10:00 a.m., three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date for an Advance, which date must be an Interest Rate Adjustment Date or December 31 (“Advance Date”), a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit A or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or telex in such form (each, an “Advance Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation. Each Advance Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate amount of the increase in the Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds and equivalent amount of such Advance. Notwithstanding any other provisions set forth in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the initial Advance may not be less than Fifteen Million and 00/100 Dollars ($15,000,000) and each subsequent Advance may not be less than One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000). Additionally, the Borrower may request no more than four (4) Advances, including the initial Advance, during the Draw Down Period. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make an Advance hereunder after the end of the Draw Down Period.

SECTION 2.07. Funding Advances.

(a) Mechanics. The Administrative Agent shall, within one (1) Business Day, or as soon as possible thereafter, of receipt by it of an Advance Request pursuant to Section 2.06, notify the Lenders in writing of its receipt of such Advance Request specifying the information provided by the Borrower and the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Advance as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 3.02. Each Lender shall remit the applicable principal amount related to the Advance to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Article V, make an Advance in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., on the applicable Advance Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds such Advance of such Lender on such Advance Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.07(b). Upon funding of each Advance, the Administrative Agent shall document such Advance, together with the then current Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds on Schedule A to each Bond Note and Schedule A to each Bond, as applicable.

(b) Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed Advance Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Advance, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with subsection (a) above and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the Advance available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the Direct Purchase Interest Rate. If such Lender pays its share of such Advance to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.08. Bonds and Bond Notes.

The obligation of the Issuer to make Debt Service Payments on the Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds shall be evidenced by the Bonds payable to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. As set forth in the Bonds, the Issuer has no obligation to make such Debt Service Payments, except from funds provided by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement. The Obligation of the Borrower to make Loan Payments under the Loan Agreement shall be evidenced by the Bond Notes payable to the Issuer, and assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.

SECTION 2.09. Additional Bond Purchase Commitments.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may at any time on or after the Closing Date, but not more often than once, and prior to December 31, 2010, request the Lenders commit to purchase a subsequent series of bonds, the interest thereon is exempt from federal income tax, that will be issued by a different governmental entity than the Issuer pursuant to a separate indenture of trust (“Additional Bond Purchase Commitments”) provided that (a) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such Additional Bond Purchase Commitment (and the making of any advances pursuant thereto), no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred or is continuing or shall result therefrom, (b) the Additional Bond Purchase Commitments shall rank pari passu in right of payment and right of security with the Bonds, (c) the Additional Bond Purchase Commitments shall not exceed Forty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($40,000,000.00), and (d) the advances to be made pursuant to such Additional Bond Purchase Commitments shall increase the Bond Purchase Commitments on the same terms as the purchase of the Bonds and/or provide for other increased credit accommodations on terms similar to the purchase of the Bonds and acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any additional bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other Person that elects to extend commitments to provide the Additional Bond Purchase Commitments shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (any such bank, financial institution, existing Lender or other person is an “Additional Lender”) and shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (the “Credit and Funding Amendment”) to this Agreement, and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. Commitments in respect of the Additional Bond Purchase Commitments shall become Commitments under this Agreement after giving effect to such Additional Bond Purchase Commitment. Subject to Section 9.01, the Credit and Funding Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the applicable additional Bond Purchase Commitments in the opinion of the Administrative Agent. The effectiveness of any Credit and Funding Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (the “Credit and Funding Amendment Closing Date”) of each of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V (it being understood that all references to the Closing Date in such Article V shall be deemed to refer to the Credit and Funding Amendment Closing Date), and except as otherwise specified in the Credit and Funding Amendment, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing documents and certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Article V. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.09, no existing Lender shall be obligated to provide Additional Bond Purchase Commitments.

Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loan Payments and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Lenders the Federal Funds Effective Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of Loan Payments due and other amounts owing under this Agreement and shall be deemed an “account stated.”

SECTION 3.02. Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders.

Each Advance shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to Loan Payments, Commitment Fees or other fees (except for the Administrative Agent’s Fee) or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Lenders, shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender or a Delinquent Lender and except as provided in Section 3.03 in the case of an event specified in Section 2.02(b), 3.05 or 3.06) be made in proportion to the Ratable Share of each Lender.

SECTION 3.03. Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of Loan Payments or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Bonds and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Ratable Share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Bonds and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective interest in the Bonds and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its interest in the Bonds to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 3.03 shall apply).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any Lender that fails at any time to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.03 with respect to purchasing participations from the other Lenders whereby such Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its Ratable Share of such payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, 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 each such delinquency and all of its obligations hereunder are satisfied. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of or relating to the Bonds, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their respective Ratable Share of all Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds and other unpaid Obligations of the Borrower. The Delinquent Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion to their respective Ratable Share of all Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds and other unpaid Obligations of any of the Borrower. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned payments to all Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds and other unpaid Obligations of any of the Borrower to the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective Ratable Share of all Outstanding Principal Amount of Bonds and unpaid Obligations have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

SECTION 3.04. Presumptions by Administrative Agent.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

SECTION 3.05. Replacement of a Lender.

In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 2.02(c), (ii) requests compensation under Section 3.06 or 3.07, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.07, (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), (v) declines to participate in the Additional Bond Purchase Commitments under Section 2.09 or agrees to participate in such Additional Bond Purchase Commitments at a Ratable Share less than such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Bonds, or (vi) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 9.01, then in any such event the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.08), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 9.08;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Amount of its Bonds, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts due and owing under Section 3.08) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.06 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.07, such assignment will not result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 3.06. Increased Costs and Increased Rates.

(a) Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR);

(ii) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the holding of the Bonds, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.07 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax, other than Changes in Law that affect (a) Lender’s tax treatment of interest received on the Bonds and (b) the Bonds qualification for the De Minimis Safe Harbor Exception set forth in Section 265(b)(7) of the Code, payable by such Lender); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense not in effect prior to such Change in Law affecting this Agreement or the holding of the Bonds;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making an Advance, holding the Bonds, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. A Lender shall not request payment of increased costs under this Section 3.06 unless Lender provides evidence that it is such Lender’s directive to impose this modification to all other borrowers of such Lender whose loans are similarly effected by the event or circumstance giving rise to the request.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, or holding the Bonds to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 3.06(a) or (b) above and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.07. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to an Official Body, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with an original to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding the submission of such documentation claiming a reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding tax, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income taxes at the full 30% withholding rate if in its reasonable judgment it is required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the Code. Further, the Administrative Agent is indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the Code against any claims and demands of any Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender for the amount of any tax it deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Code. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

SECTION 3.08. Indemnity.

(i) In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 3.06 or Section 3.07, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses sustained or incurred by a Lender as a consequence of any default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any failure of the Borrower to pay when due (by acceleration or otherwise) any principal, interest, purchase price, Commitment Fee or any other amount due hereunder (including, for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, loss of margin, any loss or expense incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired by a Lender to fund or maintain the Bonds).

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

(f) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, against the Borrower or any Subsidiary the reasonably anticipated outcome of which (i) would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement of any other Loan Document, (ii) purport to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement of any other Loan Document or (iii) would cause the Bonds or any portion thereof to fail to qualify as a Tax-Exempt Financing.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 8.01. Appointment and Authority.

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 8.01 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

SECTION 8.02. Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative 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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 8.03. Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative 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, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of 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 the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative 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 the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Article VII and Section 9.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default, in which case it shall notify the Lenders immediately, the Administrative Agrent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 9.03 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.03. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative 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) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and 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 purchase of the Bonds or making of an Advance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the 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.

SECTION 8.04. Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-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 Section 8.01 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-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 Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.05. Resignation of Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may, upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 8.05. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 8.05 and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.06. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own 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.

SECTION 8.07. No Other Duties, etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the titles listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

SECTION 8.08. Administrative Agent’s Fee.

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”) under the terms of a letter (the “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

SECTION 8.09. No Reliance on Administrative Agent's Customer Identification Program.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to its interest in the Bonds or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. Except for the consent of the Borrower (in its sole discretion), no consent shall be required for any assignment unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment in which case the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.06, 3.07, and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.08(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.08(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or its interest in the Bonds); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Sections 9.01(a) or (b). Subject to Section 9.08(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.06 and 3.07 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.08(b). To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Article VII as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.03 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights Successors and Assigns Generally. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.06, 3.07 or 9.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant on terms providing for such greater payments is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.07 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.07(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.09. Confidentiality

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an express agreement for the benefit of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any Eligible Assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

For the purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means all information, including material nonpublic information with the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC (“Regulation FD”), received from the Borrower or its Subsidiaries relating to such entities or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such entities; provided, that such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have compiled 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 customarily accords to its own confidential information; provided, however, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section, unless prohibited by law or applicable court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall attempt to notify the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or other Person for disclosure of Confidential Information after receipt of such request, and if reasonable, practicable and permissible, before disclosure of such Confidential Information. It is understood and agreed that the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates may rely upon this Section for any purpose, including without limitation to comply with Regulation FD.

SECTION 9.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments. Except as provided in Article V, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.11. Governing Law.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.12. Jurisdiction, Etc.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in Schedule 2. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in any New York State or federal court sitting in New York City. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

SECTION 9.13. USA Patriot Act Notice.

Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

SCHEDULE 1

PRICING GRID--

VARIABLE PRICING AND FEES BASED ON CONSOLIDATED NET LEVERAGE RATIO

(PRICING EXPRESSED IN BASIS POINTS)

Pricing Level	Applicable Commitment Fee Rate	Designated Basis Points
I	0.20%	1.500%
II	0.25%	1.700%
III	0.30%	1.875%
IV	0.50%	2.250%

For purposes of determining the Designated Basis Points for computing the Direct Purchase Rate and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate:

(a) The Designated Basis Points and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be determined on the Closing Date based on the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio computed on such date pursuant to a certificate to be delivered on the Closing Date.

(b) The Designated Basis Points and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be recomputed as of the end of each Reference Period based on the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio. Any increase or decrease in the Designated Basis Points and the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate Fee Rate computed as of such Reference Period shall be effective on the date on which the Certificate evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under Section 6.01(i)(iv).

(c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Article V. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Re:

$50,000,000 Gulf Opportunity Zone Revenue Bonds (Xxxx Corporation Project), Series 2010A and $20,000,000 Recovery Zone Facility Revenue Bonds (Xxxx Corporation Project), Series 2010B, issued by the Washington County Industrial Development Authority

We have acted as special counsel for Xxxx Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the “Conduit Borrower”), in connection with the issuance of the above-referenced bonds (the “Bonds”). The Bonds are being purchased from The Industrial Development Authority of Washington County (the “Bond Issuer”) and the Conduit Borrower by PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the benefit of the Purchasers (as defined and set forth in the hereafter defined Bond Purchase Agreement) pursuant to a Bond Purchase Agreement dated October 14, 2010 (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) among the Bond Issuer, the Conduit Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Bond Purchase Agreement or (if not defined in the Bond Purchase Agreement) in the Indenture referred to in the Bond Purchase Agreement.

We have examined the following: executed counterparts of the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Tax Certificate and Agreement and the Credit and Funding Agreement among the Bond Issuer, the Conduit Borrower and the Administrative Agent; pertinent proceedings of the Conduit Borrower (collectively, the “Conduit Borrower Financing Documents”); certificates executed by officers of the Conduit Borrower; and such other certificates, proceedings, proofs and documents as we have deemed necessary in connection with the opinions hereinafter set forth. As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the representations made in the Conduit Borrower Financing Documents and upon certificates of officers of the Conduit Borrower.

Based on the foregoing and upon such investigation as we have deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Conduit Borrower is validly existing as a for profit corporation under the laws of the State of Virginia.

2. The Conduit Borrower has the power to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Bond Purchase Agreement and the Conduit Borrower Financing Documents to which it is a party.

3. By proper action of its governing body, the Conduit Borrower has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Conduit Borrower Financing Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Conduit Borrower Financing Documents.

4. The Conduit Borrower has obtained all consents, approvals, authorizations and orders of governmental authorities that are required to be obtained by it as a condition to the issuance of the Bonds and the execution and delivery of the Conduit Borrower Financing Documents to which it is a party.

5. The execution and delivery by the Conduit Borrower of the Conduit Borrower Financing Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated therein will not (i) conflict with, be in violation of, or constitute (upon notice or lapse of time or both) a default under its charter or bylaws, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other contract, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or is subject, or any resolution, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction, decree or judgment of any governmental authority or court having jurisdiction over it or (ii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any lien of any nature upon or with respect to any of its properties now owned or hereafter acquired, except as contemplated by the Conduit Borrower Financing Documents.

6. The Conduit Borrower Financing Documents to which the Conduit Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Conduit Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of such instruments, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) general principles of equity, including the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.

7. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation pending before any court or governmental authority, or threatened against or affecting the Conduit Borrower or its properties, that (i) involves the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, or the validity or enforceability of, the Conduit Borrower Financing Documents to which the Conduit Borrower is a party or (ii) could have a materially adverse effect upon its financial condition or operations.

8. The Conduit Borrower has obtained all necessary licenses and permits to carry on its business in Alabama and operate all its properties and facilities in Alabama and has obtained all necessary certificates of need or other similar approvals with respect to the facilities being financed with the proceeds of the Bonds.

We express no opinion with respect to the effect of any law other than the law of the State of Alabama and the federal law of the United States.

We express no opinion regarding the enforceability of the indemnity and contribution provisions of Section 12 of the Bond Purchase Agreement.

For purposes of our opinion regarding the binding effect and enforceability of Conduit Borrower Financing Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, we have assumed that the Administrative Agent is qualified to do business in Alabama to the extent that such qualification is required by the nature of this transaction or the Administrative Agent’s other activities in the State of Alabama.

This opinion is rendered solely for your benefit. It is not to be relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update, revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.

Very truly yours,

XXXXXXX, XXXXXX & XXXX, P.C.
