(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in_ order to reduce the number of fund transfers among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), and the Borrowers and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to, fund, on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.01, subject to the procedures for settlement set forth in Section 9.10(a); provided, however, that (a) the Administrative shall in no event fund any such Revolving Loans if the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Required Lenders on the Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Loan that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.03 will not be satisfied at the time of the proposed Revolving Loan, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent in Section 5.03 have been satisfied.

(iii) If the Administrative Agent has notified the Revolving Loan Lenders that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, will not

fund a particular Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii), the Administrative Agent may assume that each such Revolving Loan Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such day and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to the Borrowers on such day. If the Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrowers and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by any such Revolving Loan Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each .day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Administrative Borrower of such failure and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

(iv) Nothing in this subsection 2.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.06) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.

(b) Term Loans. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c), each Term Loan shall bear interest as follows:

(i) Base Rate Loans. During such periods as such Term Loan shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans, each such Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect thereto; and

If the continuation of LIBOR Loans is not permitted hereunder, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Administrative Borrower shall fail to give timely notice of an election to continue a LIBOR Loan, such LIBOR Loan shall be automatically converted to a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of thirty (30) days at the end of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto.

Section 2.05. Reduction of Commitment; Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Reduction of Commitments.

(i) Revolving Loan Commitments. The Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. The Borrowers may, without premium or penalty, reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitment to an amount not less than the sum of (A) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a Notice of Borrowing has been given by the Administrative Borrower under Section 2.02, (C) the Letter of Credit Obligations at such time, and (D) the stated amount of all Letters of Credit not yet issued as to which a request has been made and not withdrawn. Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (unless the Total Revolving Loan Commitment in effect immediately prior to such reduction is less than $1,000,000), shall be made by providing not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.

(ii) Term Loans. The Total Term Loan Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date.

(b) Optional Prepayment.

(i) Revolving Loans. The Borrowers may prepay without penalty or premium (but subject to LIBOR Breakage Fees pursuant to Section 2.06(c)) the principal of any Revolving Loan, in whole or in part.

(ii) Term Loans. The Borrowers may prepay without penalty or premium (but subject to LIBOR Breakage Fees pursuant to Section 2.06(c)) the principal of the Term Loans, in whole or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b)(ii) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Term Loans pro rata based on the respective principal amounts thereof and, as to each Term Loan, against the remaining principal amortization payments of such Term Loan pro rata

based on the respective amounts thereof; provided, however, in the event Senior Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered is less than 2.25 to 1.00, all or any portion of such prepayment may, at Administrative Borrower’s option exercised by notice in writing to Administrative Agent of the time of such prepayment, be applied first to Term Loan B.

(iii) General. Each partial prepayment of (x) that portion of a Term Loan that consists of Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof, (y) that portion of a Term Loan that consists of LIBOR Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess thereof. The Borrowers shall give three (3) Business Days’ irrevocable notice in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans and one (1) Business Day irrevocable notice in the case of a prepayment of Base Rate Loans, to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the Lenders thereof as soon as practicable).

(i) Overadvance. The Borrowers will immediately prepay the Revolving Loans at any time when the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus the outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds the Borrowing Base, to the full extent of any such excess. If at any time after the Borrowers have complied with the first sentence of this Section 2.05(c)(i), the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations is greater than the then current Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall provide cash collateral to the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to 105% of such excess, which cash collateral shall be deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, returned to the Borrowers, at such time as the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations plus the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans no longer exceeds the then current Borrowing Base.

(ii) Excess Cash Flow. Within thirty (30) days after the earlier of delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of audited annual financial statements pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(i) or the date on which such financial statements are required to be delivered, commencing with the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2007, the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d) in an amount equal to (A) 75% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year if Senior Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is equal to or greater than 2.25 to 1.00 and (B) 50% of the Excess Cash Flow of the Parent and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year if Senior Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such Fiscal Year is less than 2.25 to 1.00.

(iii) Dispositions. Immediately upon any Disposition by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.02(c)(ii)(B) and (C), the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection with such Disposition to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by all Loan Parties and

their Subsidiaries (and not paid to the Administrative Agent as a prepayment of the Term Loans) shall exceed for all such Dispositions in the Fiscal Year in which such Disposition is consummated $500,000. Nothing contained in this subsection (iii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a Disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.02(c)(ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied to the extent (A) the Borrowers deliver to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days following such Disposition a certificate stating that it intends to use such Net Cash Proceeds to acquire fixed or capital assets used in the Loan Parties’ business within one hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds and (B) Borrowers in fact reinvests such Net Cash Proceeds within such one hundred eighty (180) day period. Pending such reinvestment, the Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied as a prepayment of Revolving Loans but not as a permanent reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. Any Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested shall be applied to permanently prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d).

(iv) Equity or Debt Issuances. Upon the issuance or incurrence by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), or the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any shares of its Capital Stock (other than the issuance by the Parent of Capital Stock to management or other employees of the Loan Parties), the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d) in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith. The provisions of this subsection (iv) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance, incurrence or sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(v) Extraordinary Receipts. Upon the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts, to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Extraordinary Receipts received by all Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries (and not paid to the Administrative Agent as a prepayment of the Term Loans) shall exceed, for all such Extraordinary Receipts in the Fiscal Year in which such Extraordinary Receipts are received, $500,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Extraordinary Receipts consisting of proceeds of casualty insurance and/or condemnation awards shall not be required to be so applied to the extent (A) the Borrowers deliver to the Administrative Agent promptly following the casualty or condemnation a certificate stating that it intends to use such Extraordinary Receipts to repair or replace the assets so destroyed or condemned within one hundred eighty (180) days of receipt of such Extraordinary Receipts and (B) Borrowers in fact reinvest such Extraordinary Receipts within such one hundred eighty (180) day period. Pending such reinvestment, the Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied as a prepayment of Revolving Loans but not as a permanent reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. Any Extraordinary Receipts not so reinvested shall be applied to permanently prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(d).

(d) Application of Payments. Each prepayment pursuant to subsections (c)(ii), (c)(iii), (c)(iv) and (c)(v) above (other than prepayments of Revolving Loans as set forth therein) shall be applied, first, to the Term Loans, and, after the Term Loans have been paid in full, to the Revolving Loans but without a permanent reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment. Each such prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied pro rata based on the respective amounts thereof and, as to each Term Loan, against the remaining principal amortization payments of such Term Loan pro rata based on the respective amounts thereof; provided, however, in the event Senior Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered is less than 2.25 to 1.00, all or any portion of such prepayment may, at Administrative Borrower’s option exercised by notice in writing to Administrative Agent at the time of such prepayment, be applied first to Term Loan B. Considering each type of Loan being prepaid separately, any such prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans of the type required to be prepaid before application to LIBOR Loans of the type required to be prepaid, and then to LIBOR Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining so as to minimize any resulting LIBOR Breakage Fee.

(e) Interest and Fees. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by any LIBOR Breakage Fees pursuant to Section 2.06(c) and other than with respect to prepayments made pursuant to subsections (c)(i) of this Section 2.05, accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment .

(f) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.05, payments with respect to any subsection of this Section 2.05 are in addition to payments made or required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.05.

Section 2.06. Fees.

(a) Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent the fees specified in the Fee Letter, in the amounts and at the times specified therein.

(b) Unused Line Fee. From and after the Closing Date and until the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Loan Lenders other than a Revolving Loan Lender for so long as it is a Defaulting Lender, in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Commitments and outstanding principal balance of their funded Revolving Loans, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate per annum of 0.5% on the excess, if any, of (i) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment of a Revolving Loan Lender for so long as it is a Defaulting Lender over (ii) the sum of the average principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding from time to time other than those of a Revolving Loan Lender for so long as it is a Defaulting Lender, and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter.

(c) LIBOR Breakage Fees. Upon (i) any default by the Borrowers in making any borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of any LIBOR Loan following Administrative Borrower’s delivery to Administrative Agent of any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect thereof or (ii) any payment of a LIBOR Loan on any day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (regardless of the source of such

prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), the Borrowers shall pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders that funded or were prepared to fund any such LIBOR Loan, an amount (the “LIBOR Breakage Fee”) equal to the amount of any losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss (including interest paid) in connection with the re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profit) that any Lender may sustain as a result of such default or such payment; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to pay any LIBOR Breakage Fee to the extent arising as a result of any such payment of any LIBOR Loan constituting a mandatory prepayment of the Loans required pursuant to Section 2.5(c). For purposes of calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan and having a maturity and repricing characteristics comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection.

(d) Computations. All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 2.07. Securitization. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may sell or securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests will be rated by Xxxxx’x, Standard & Poor’s or one or more other rating agencies (the “Rating Agencies”). The Loan Parties shall cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect the Securitization including, without limitation, by (a) amending this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and executing such additional documents, as reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the Securitization, provided that (i) any such amendment or additional documentation does not impose additional costs on the Loan Parties (other than costs in a de minimis amount) and (ii) any such amendment or additional documentation does not adversely affect the rights (other than costs of a de minimis nature), or increase the obligations (other than increases of a de minimis nature), of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents or change or affect in a manner adverse to the Loan Parties the financial terms of the Loans, and (b) providing such information as may be reasonably requested by the Lenders in connection with the rating of the Loans or the Securitization.

Lenders. These arrangements shall be coordinated by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Letter of Credit Agent shall be required to be the issuer of any Letter of Credit. The Borrowers will be the account party for the application for each Letter of Credit, which shall be in such written form or on a computer transmission system, in each case approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, or in such other written form or on such other computer transmission system as may from time to time be approved by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, and shall be duly completed in a manner and at a time reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with such other certificates, agreements, documents and other papers and information as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may reasonably request (the “Letter of Credit Application”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, for purposes of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(b) The aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the lowest of (i) the amount by which (A) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment exceeds (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, (ii) the amount by which (A) the Borrowing Base exceeds (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (iii) the L/C Subfacility. In addition, the terms and conditions of all Letters of Credit and all changes or modifications thereof by the Borrowers and/or the L/C Issuer shall in all respects be subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) the expiry date of all Letters of Credit shall be no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date unless, on or prior to fifteen (15) days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date either (A) such Letters of Credit shall be cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount of such Letters of Credit by deposit of cash in such amount in an account under the sole and exclusive control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (acting on behalf of the Letter of Credit Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders) and/or the L/C Issuer (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) or (B) the Borrowers shall provide the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders with an indemnification, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from a commercial bank or other financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent for any Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit, (ii) no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date later than 365 days from the date of its issuance and (iii) the Letters of Credit and all documentation in connection therewith shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer.

Any amount charged to the Loan Account shall be deemed a Revolving Loan hereunder made by the Revolving Loan Lenders to the Borrowers, funded by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders and subject to Section 2.02 of this Agreement. Any charges, fees, commissions, costs and

expenses charged to the Administrative Agent for the Borrowers’ account by the L/C Issuer in connection with or arising out of Letters of Credit or transactions relating thereto will be charged to the Loan Account in full when charged to or paid by the Administrative Agent and, when charged, shall be conclusive on the Borrowers absent manifest error. Each of the Revolving Loan Lenders and the Borrowers agree that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 5.03 have been satisfied.

(d) The Borrowers agree to unconditionally indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from any and all loss, claim or liability incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender arising from any transactions or occurrences relating to Letters of Credit, any drafts or acceptances thereunder, the Collateral relating thereto, and all Obligations in respect thereof, including any such loss or claim due to any action taken by the L/C Issuer, provided, however, in no event shall the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender be released of liability to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent or any Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrowers further agrees to hold Administrative Agent and each Lender (but not the L/C Issuer) harmless from any errors or omission, negligence or misconduct by the L/C Issuer. The Borrowers’ unconditional obligations to Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit hereunder shall not be modified or diminished for any reason or in any manner whatsoever, other than as a result of Administrative Agent’s, such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrowers agree that any charges incurred by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer for the Borrowers’ account hereunder may be charged to the Loan Account.

(e) Upon any payments made to the L/C Issuer in respect of any Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Loan Lenders, as the case may be, shall, without prejudice to their rights under this Agreement (including that such unreimbursed amounts shall constitute Loans hereunder), acquire by subrogation, any rights, remedies, duties or obligations granted or undertaken by a Borrower in favor of the L/C Issuer in any application for Letters of Credit, any standing agreement relating to Letters of Credit or otherwise, all of which shall be deemed to have been granted to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders and apply in all respects to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders and shall be in addition to any rights, remedies, duties or obligations contained herein.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall provide the Administrative Borrower, promptly after the end of each calendar month, a summary statement (in the form from time to time used by the Administrative Agent) of the opening and closing daily balances in the Loan Account of the Borrowers during such month, the amounts and dates of all Loans made to the Borrowers during such month, the amounts and dates of all payments on account of the Loans to the Borrowers during such month and the Loans to which such payments were applied, the amount of interest accrued on the Loans to the Borrowers during such month, any Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer for the account of the Borrowers during such month, specifying the face amount thereof, the amount of charges to the Loan Account and/or Loans made to the Borrowers during such month to reimburse the Revolving Loan Lenders for drawings made under Letters of Credit, and the amount and nature of any charges to the Loan Account made during such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other Obligations. All entries on any such statement shall be presumed to be correct and, thirty (30) days after the same is received by Borrowers, shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 4.02. Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Section 2.02 hereof, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered). The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.02 may, to the fullest

extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including such Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

Section 4.03. Apportionment of Payments. Subject to Section 2.02 hereof:

(a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments in respect of the Reimbursement Obligations, all payments of fees (other than the fees set forth in Section 2.06(a) hereof) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made in each instance, subject to Section 4.03(b).

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer until paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any accrued fees and interest then due to the Lenders until paid in full; (iii) third, ratably to pay. principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Obligations (or, to the extent such Obligations are contingent, to provide cash collateral in respect of such Obligations) until paid in full; and (iv) fourth, ratably to pay all other Obligations then due and payable.

(c) For purposes of Section 4.03(b), “paid in full” with respect to interest shall include interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding irrespective of whether a claim for such interest is allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding.

(d) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 4.03 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 4.03 shall control and govern.

Section 4.04. Increased Costs and Reduced Return.

(a) If any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer shall have determined that the adoption or implementation of, or any change in, any law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any policy, guideline or directive of, or any change in, the interpretation or administration thereof by, any court, central bank or other administrative or Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender, Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling any such Lender, Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer with any directive of, or guideline from, any central bank or other Governmental Authority or the introduction of, or change in, any accounting principles applicable to any Lender, Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer or any Person controlling any such Lender, Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (in

Section 4.05. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, franchise, sales, use, excise, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, fees, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction (whether pursuant to Federal, state, local or foreign law) or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and all interest, penalties or additional amounts, excluding taxes on the net income of any Lender, Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer imposed by the jurisdiction in which Lender, Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer is organized or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or any jurisdiction in which such Person’s principal office is located or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof (such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, fees, withholdings, restrictions, conditions, interest, penalties and additional amounts being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Taxes”). If any Loan Party shall be required to deduct or to withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document,

(ii) such Loan Party shall make such deduction or withholding,

(iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxation authority in accordance with applicable law, and

(iv) as promptly as possible thereafter, such Loan Party shall send the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer an official receipt (or, if an official receipt is not available, such other documentation as shall be satisfactory to the Lenders, the.

In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay any present or future taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation or filing of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Letters of Credit or any other Loan Document other than the foregoing excluded taxes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(b) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer harmless from and against Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.05) paid by any Lender, Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses for nonpayment, late payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Lender, any Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer makes written demand therefor, which demand shall identify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(c) Each Lender that is organized in a jurisdiction outside the United States hereby agrees that it shall, no later than the Closing Date or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 11.06 hereof after the Closing Date, the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent), deliver to the Administrative Agent, but only if such Lender is legally able to do so, one accurate, complete and signed originals of any of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-81MY or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successor forms thereto, in each case indicating that such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive payments of interest hereunder free from, or subject to a reduced rate of, withholding of United States Federal income tax. In addition, if such Lender is claiming exemption from withholding of United States Federal income tax under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Lender hereby represents and warrants that such Lender is (A) not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Parent and (C) not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Parent (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code (and such Lender agrees

that it shall provide the Administrative Agent with prompt written notice at any time after becoming a Lender hereunder in the event that at such time it can no longer make any of the foregoing representations and warranties). Such foams shall be delivered by each such Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, such Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each such Lender shall deliver such forms within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.05, no such Lender shall be required to deliver after the date hereof any form pursuant to this Section 4.05(c) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(d) If any Loan Party fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 4.05, the Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer for any taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure. The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 4.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 4.06. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if (i) the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR or an Interest Period, or (ii) the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding LIBOR Loans that the Borrowers have requested, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Administrative Borrower, and the Lenders prior to the first day of such Interest Period. Unless the Administrative Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent upon receipt of such telephone notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding such LIBOR Loans, any Loans that were requested to be made as LIBOR Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans and any Loans that were requested to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans shall remain as or be converted into Base Rate Loans. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Loans for the Interest Periods so affected.

Section 4.07. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the adoption of or any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof by the relevant Governmental Authority to any Lender shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market the funds with which to make such Loans, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers thereof, (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Loans or continue LIBOR Loans as such shall forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent that the condition or situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law to Base Rate Loans.

Section 4.08. Replacement of Lenders. Within fifteen (15) days after (i) receipt by the Borrowers of written notice and demand from any Lender for payment pursuant to Section 4.04 or 4.05, (ii) receipt by the Borrowers of written notice from any Lender pursuant to Section 4.07 specifying that it is unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, or (iii) as provided in Section 11.02(c), in the case of certain refusals by any Lender to consent to certain proposed amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers with respect to this Agreement that have been approved by Required Lenders (any such Lender demanding such payment or refusing to, so consent being referred to herein as an “Affected Lender”), the Borrowers may, at its option, notify Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to do one of the following:

(a) the Borrowers may obtain, at Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for such Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. In the event Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender that will purchase all outstanding Obligations owed-to such Affected Lender and assume its commitments hereunder within ninety (90) days following notice of Borrowers’ intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell and assign all of its rights and delegate all of its obligations under this Agreement to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06, provided that the Borrowers have reimbursed such Affected Lender for any LIBOR Breakage Fee pursuant to Section 2.06(b) (as though such payment constituted a prepayment) and any processing and recordation fee payable pursuant to Section 11.06(b) and, in any case where such replacement occurs as the result of a demand for payment pursuant to Section 4.04, paid all amounts required to be paid to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 4.04 through the date of such sale and assignment; or

(b) the Borrowers may prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to such Affected Lender (including, without limitation, any LIBOR Breakage Fee pursuant to Section 2.06(c)) and terminate such Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment, in which case the Revolving Loan Commitment will be reduced by the amount of such Pro Rata Share. The Borrowers shall, within ninety (90) days following notice of its intention to do so, prepay in full all outstanding Obligations owed to, such Affected Lender (including, in any case where such prepayment occurs as the result of a demand for payment for increased costs, such Affected Lender’s increased costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such prepayment), and terminate such Affected Lender’s obligations under the Revolving Loan Commitment.

Section 4.09. Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, each of the Borrowers hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations

(including, without limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 4.09), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the provisions of this Section 4.09 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each of the Borrowers, enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(b) The provisions of this Section 4.09 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced by them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or such successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 4.09 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied.

(c) Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrowers with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any Collateral, until such time as all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

ARTICLE 9.
AGENT

Section 9.01. Appointment. Each Lender (and each subsequent maker of any Loan by its making thereof) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to perform the duties as set forth in this Agreement to exercise such powers and duties as are delegated to it by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the power to give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make determinations and calculations) together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes hereof and thereof. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders and Required Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, and such instructions of the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders and all makers of Loans; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not be required to refuse to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent, exposes Administrative Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law.

Section 9.02. Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any

other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value of the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter, provided that, upon the reasonable request of a Lender, Administrative Agent shall provide to such Lender any documents or reports delivered to Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If Administrative Agent seeks the consent or approval of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, Administrative Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender any time that the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable, have instructed Administrative Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

Section 9.03. Rights, Exculpation, Etc. The Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any Loan as the owner thereof until the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, pursuant to Section 11.06 hereof, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Administrative Agent or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) may execute any of its rights or duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (v) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including, without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (vi) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (vii) shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectibility of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or

distribution of payments made in good faith pursuant to Section 4.03, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby covenant and agree to return promptly to such Lender any erroneous payment received by them). The Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders, as the case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Lenders, as applicable.

Section 9.04. Reliance. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

Section 9.05. Indemnification. To the extent that Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan Party, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, including, without limitation, advances and disbursements made pursuant to Section 9.08; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent there has been a final judicial determination that such liability resulted from Administrative Agent’s or the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.06. Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment hereunder and the Loans made by it, Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or maker of a Loan. The terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or “Required Revolving Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or one of the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire Capital

Stock of and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Loan Party as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto without any duty to account to the other Lenders.

Section 9.07. Successor Agent.

(a) Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Borrower and each Lender. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent that shall, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as an Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period, the retiring Administrative Agent shall then appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as an Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

Section 9.08. Collateral Matters.

(a) The Administrative Agent may from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Administrative Agent Advances”) which the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by the Borrowers of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 11.03 and costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in performing any covenant or agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents required to be performed by Borrowers which Borrowers has failed to perform, provided that the aggregate amount of Administrative Agent Advances not reimbursed by Borrower shall not exceed $2,500,000 without the consent of Required Lenders. The Administrative Agent Advances shall be repayable on demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Administrative Agent Advances shall constitute Obligations hereunder which may be charged to the Loan Account in accordance with Section 4.01. The Administrative Agent shall

notify each Lender and the Administrative Borrower in writing of each such Administrative Agent Advance, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Administrative Agent Advance. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 9.05, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the Administrative Agent, upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Administrative Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate.

(b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral upon termination of the Total Commitment and payment and satisfaction of all Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, Letter of Credit Obligations, and all other Obligations which have matured and which the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable; or constituting property being sold or disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or all Lenders if required hereunder.

(c) Without in any manner limiting the Administrative Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Lenders (as set forth in Section 9.08(b)), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by the Administrative Agent, the authority to release Collateral conferred upon the Administrative Agent under Section 9.08(b). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of confirmation from the Lenders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon prior written request by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligations or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Lien upon (or obligations of any Loan Party in respect of) all interests in the Collateral retained by any Loan Party.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Loan Parties or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document has been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or is entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section 9.08, elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission

or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender, except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 9.09. Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints Administrative Agent and each other Lender as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party) and Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as secured party. Should the Administrative Agent or any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

Section 9.10. Settlement.

(a) With respect to all periods for which the Administrative Agent has funded Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.02(c), on Friday of each week, or if the applicable Friday is not a Business Day, then on the following Business Day, or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may from time to time select (any such week or shorter period being herein called a “Settlement Period”), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Loan Lender of the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding as of the last day of each such Settlement Period. In the event that such amount is greater than the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the last day of the Settlement Period immediately preceding such Settlement Period (or, if there has been no preceding Settlement Period, the amount of the Revolving Loans made on the date of such Revolving Loan Lender’s initial funding), each Revolving Loan Lender shall promptly (and in any event not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) if the Administrative Agent requests payment from such Lender not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such day) make available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds an amount necessary such that, after giving effect thereto, the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Revolving Loan Lender equals its Pro Rata Share. In the event that such amount is less than such unpaid principal amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving Loan Lender in immediately available funds an amount necessary such that, after giving effect thereto, the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Revolving Loan Lender equals its Pro Rata Share. In addition, if the Administrative Agent shall so request at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or any other event shall have occurred as a result of which the Administrative Agent shall determine that it is desirable to present claims against the Borrowers for repayment, each Revolving Loan Lender shall promptly remit to the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Revolving Loan Lender, sufficient funds to adjust the interests of the Revolving Loan Lenders in the then outstanding Revolving Loans to such an extent that, after giving effect to such adjustment, each such Revolving Loan Lender’s

interest in the then outstanding Revolving Loans will be equal to its Pro Rata Share thereof. The obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Revolving Loan Lender under this Section 9.10(a) shall be absolute and unconditional. Each Revolving Loan Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on, and Unused Line Fees payable to a Revolving Loan Lender shall be calculated based upon, the Revolving Loans which have been funded by such Revolving Loan Lender.

(b) In the event that any Revolving Loan Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 9.10(a), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Revolving Loan Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. During the period in which such Revolving Loan Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by the Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Revolving Loan Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrowers of such failure and the Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account. Nothing in this Section 9.10(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Loan Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Revolving Loan Lender as a result of any default by such Revolving Loan Lender hereunder.

Section 9.11. Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, neither the Syndication Agent nor the Documentation shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent. Reference to this Agreement in any Loan Document need not make reference to the Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agent. The title “Syndication Agent” shall be personal to Xxxxxxxxx Financial Cayman Ltd. only and shall not be transferred or assigned to any other Person. The title “Documentation Agent” shall be personal to NewStar Financial, Inc. only and shall not be transferred or assigned to any other Person.

ARTICLE 10.
GUARANTY

Section 10.01. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment, performance and observance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, whether for principal, interest (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of the Borrowers, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such Insolvency Proceeding), Letter of Credit

Obligations, fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications or otherwise (such obligations, to the extent not paid by the Borrowers, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in enforcing any. rights under the guaranty set forth in this Article 10. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving the Borrowers or a Borrower.

Section 10.02. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article 10 are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Loan Party or whether any Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Article 10 constitutes a primary obligation, and not a contract of surety, and shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release, subordination or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan Party; or

(e) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Article 10 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by

the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers, a Borrower or otherwise (and whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise), all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 10.03. Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Article 10 and any requirement that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the L/C Issuer exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section 10.03 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Article 10, and acknowledges that this Article 10 is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

Section 10.04. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Article 10 is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made) and all other amounts payable under this Article 10 and the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and their successors, pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, its Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the Letter of Credit Obligations owing to it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 11.07.

Section 10.05. Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article 10, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article 10 shall have been paid in full in cash and the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred; provided, that no Guarantor has any rights hereunder against any Borrower or any of its or any other Loan Parties’ Subsidiaries if all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied with proceeds from the exercise of remedies in respect of the Capital Stock of such Person pursuant to any Pledge Agreement. In addition, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article 10 shall have been paid in full in cash and the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred, any

Indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness of any such Loan Party to any Guarantor collected or received by Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing prior to the date of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article 10 shall have been paid in full in cash and the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred, shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding two sentences, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article 10, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Article 10 thereafter arising. When all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Article 10 shall have been paid in full in cash and the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

Section 10.06. Maximum Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Obligations shall be limited to an amount not to exceed, as of any date of determination, the amount that could be claimed by Lenders from such Guarantor without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Guarantor’s right of contribution and indemnification from the other Guarantors under Section 10.07.

Section 10.07. Contribution.

(a) To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment of all or any of the Obligations (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount that such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Guarantor’s Guarantor Allocable Amount (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Guarantor Allocable Amounts of all of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following Payment in Full, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, the other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Guarantor Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(b) As of any date of determination, the “Guarantor Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered

from such Guarantor without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

(c) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification owing to such Guarantor under this Section 10.07 constitute assets of such Guarantor.

(d) The rights of the Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 10.07 shall be exercisable only upon Payment in Full.

Section 11.02. Amendments, Etc.

(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, provided, however, that:

(i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or the Reimbursement Obligations payable to any Lender, reduce the amount of any fee payable for the account of any Lender, or postpone or extend any date fixed for any regularly scheduled amortization payment of principal of, or any regularly scheduled payment of interest or fees on, the Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations payable to any Lender, in each case without the written consent of any Lender directly affected thereby, (B) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans that is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, (C) amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”, (D) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and

the other Loan Documents), or release the Borrowers or any Guarantor, or (E) amend, modify or waive Section 4.03 or this Section 11.02 of this Agreement, in each case in clauses (B) through (E), without the written consent of each Lender; and

(ii) without limitation of the provisions of the preceding clause (i), no amendment, waiver or consent shall (A) make less restrictive the calculation of Availability, (B) change the percentage of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans that is required for the Revolving Loan Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, (C) amend or waive compliance with the conditions precedent to the obligations of Revolving Loan Lenders to make any Revolving Loan (or to issue any Letter of Credit), (D) waive any Default or Event of Default for the purpose of satisfying the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Revolving Loan Lenders to make any Revolving Loan (or to issue any Letter of Credit) or (E) amend the definition of “Required Revolving Loan Lenders,” or this Section 11.02(a) of this Agreement, in each case in clauses (A) through (E), without the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent (but not in its capacity as a Lender) under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b) No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person.

(c) Replacement. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of all Lenders under Section 11.02(a), the consent of Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more other Lenders whose consent is required to be obtained is not obtained, then Borrowers shall have the right, so long as all such non-consenting Lenders are either replaced or prepaid as described in clauses (i) or (ii) below, to either (i) replace the non-consenting Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 4.08(a) so long as each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed amendment, modification, termination or waiver or (ii) prepay in full the Obligations of the non-consenting Lenders and terminate the non-consenting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment in accordance with Section 4.08(b).

Section 11.03. Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrowers will pay on demand, all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Administrative Agent (and, in the case of clause (c) below, each Lender), regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are

consummated, including, without limitation, reasonable fees, costs, client charges and expenses of counsel for Administrative Agent (and, in the case of clause (c) below, each Lender), and all document, transfer, recording or filing taxes or fees and similar impositions now or hereafter payable in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, arising from or relating to: (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the preparation of any additional Loan Documents and/or the review of any of the agreements, instruments and documents referred to in Sections 7.01(j) and (k)) and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) any requested amendments, waivers or consents to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents whether or not such documents become effective or are given, or (c) the enforcement and/or preservation of any of Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the protection, collection, lease, sale, taking possession of or liquidation of, any Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the enforcement of any Lien or security interest in any Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.04. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent or any Lender may, and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party (any such notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties either now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to notify such Loan Party promptly after any such set-off and application made by Administrative Agent or such Lender provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 11.04 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have, under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents of law or otherwise.

Section 11.05. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.06. Assignments and Participations.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party and Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and any such assignment without the Lenders’ prior written consent shall be null and void.

(b) Each Lender may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and with the written consent of Administrative Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, assign to one or more other Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans made by it and its Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Obligations); provided, however, that (i) unless otherwise permitted by the Administrative Agent, such assignment is in an amount which is at least $5,000,000 or a multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender’s Commitment) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a fund or account managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender), (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such assignment and, unless otherwise previously agreed to by the Administrative Agent, such parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except the payment of such fee shall not be required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a fund or account managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender) and (iii) the written consent of the Administrative Agent or Administrative Borrower shall not be required in connection with any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or a fund or account managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or to any other Lender. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least three Business Days after the delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as shall be agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the parties to such assignment), (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the 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 furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance

upon the assigning Lender, Administrative Agent or any 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 and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain, or cause to be maintained at the Payment Office, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans (and stated interest thereon) (the “Registered Loans”) and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the 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 the Administrative Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any promissory notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if the Administrative Agent consents to such assignment and if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register.

(f) A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Administrative Agent shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(g) In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall maintain, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount thereof (and stated interest thereon) (the “Participant Register”). A Registered

Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Administrative Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(h) Any Person that is organized in a jurisdiction outside the United States which is assigned any portion of any Registered Loan shall comply with Section 4.05(c) to the extent applicable.

(i) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Loans made by it and its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of the Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations to the extent such Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations are the subject of the participation, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable on the Loans subject to the participation or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or any Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 9.08 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document). The Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04 and Section 4.05 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Loans as if it was a Lender.

(j) In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 2.07, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Loans made by it as collateral security to secure obligations of such Lender, Affiliates of such Lender or funds or accounts managed by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (and any initial or subsequent such pledgee or grantee, as the case may be, may in turn at any time and from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of such rights and Loans as collateral security to secure obligations of such Person, Affiliates of such Person or funds or accounts managed by such Person or an Affiliate of such Person); provided that neither the initial nor any subsequent such pledge or grant of a security interest shall in any event (i) release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, and (ii) substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender as a party hereto with any rights or remedies hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

Section 11.13. Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in payment or on account of any of the Obligations, Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall give prompt notice of such claim to Administrative Agent and each Lender and the Administrative Borrower, and if Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer repays all or part of such amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any of its property, or (ii) any good faith settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer with any such claimant, then and in such event each Loan Party agrees that (A) any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any Indebtedness

hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (B) it shall be and remain liable to Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer.

Section 11.14. Indemnification.

(a) General Indemnity. In addition to each Loan Party’s other Obligations under this Agreement, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer and all of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Closing Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any of the Related Transaction Documents or any other agreement, document or instrument executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of funds to the Borrowers or the L/C Issuer’s issuing of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the management of any such Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations or the Letter of Credit Obligations, (iii) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any of the Related Transaction Documents or any agreement, document or instrument executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (iv) any claim, action, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Environmental Indemnity. Without limiting Section 11.14(a) hereof, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnitees against any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and all other claims, demands, penalties, fines, liability (including strict liability), losses, damages, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses, consultant fees and laboratory fees), arising out of or in connection with (i) any Releases or threatened Releases at any property or facility currently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any predecessor in interest or at any property or facility which received Hazardous Materials generated, managed or otherwise handled by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or predecessor in interest; (ii) any violations of applicable Environmental Laws by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or predecessor in interest; (iii) any Environmental Action relating to any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or predecessor in interest; (iv) any Response Action at a facility or property owned or operated at any time by any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or predecessor in interest; (v) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of

100

exposure to Hazardous Materials used, handled, generated, transported or disposed by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; or (vi) any breach of any warranty or representation regarding environmental matters made by the Loan Parties in Section 6.01(q) or the breach of any covenant made by the Loan Parties in Section 7.01(i) or Section 7.02(m). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (b) regarding any potential environmental matter covered hereunder which is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) The indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees are chargeable against the Loan Account. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.14 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. The indemnities set forth in this Section 11.14 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.15. Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, including, without limitation, the closing fee, the Unused Line Fee, the Letter of Credit Fee shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

Section 11.16. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, Administrative Agent and each Lender and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender, and any assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 11.06 hereof.

Section 11.17. Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Administrative Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to Administrative Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to Administrative Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to Administrative Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such

101

applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by Administrative Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrowers; and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to Administrative Agent or any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by Administrative Agent or such Lender to the Borrowers. All sums paid or -agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to Administrative Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at an time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 11.17 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to Administrative Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to Administrative Agent or such Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Administrative Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to Administrative Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to Administrative Agent or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to Administrative Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to Administrative Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 11.17.

For purposes of this Section 11.17, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Borrowers on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

The right to accelerate the maturity of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not accrued as of the date of acceleration.

Section 11.18. Confidentiality. Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself, each of its affiliates and each of the directors, officers, employees and representatives of such Person and its affiliates) to use reasonable precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable commercial finance companies, any

102

non-public information supplied to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and which at the time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person not to disclose such information), provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (i) by any Lender to any affiliate of such Lender (and to any director, officer, employee or representative of such affiliate), (ii) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (iii) to counsel for Administrative Agent or any Lender, (iv) to examiners, auditors, accountants or rating agencies, (v) as may be required in connection with any litigation to which Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any affiliates of any Lender) is a party or (vi) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) first agrees, in writing, to be bound by confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this Section 11.18. Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself, each of its affiliates and each of the directors, officers, employees and representatives of such Person and its affiliates) that, upon receipt of a request or identification of the requirement for disclosure pursuant to clause (v) hereof, it will make reasonable efforts to keep the Loan Parties informed of such request or identification (unless prohibited from doing so by law, rule, regulation or court, administrative or other similar order); provided that the each Loan Party acknowledges that Administrative Agent and each Lender (and each affiliates thereof) may make disclosure as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or any representative thereof or the Secured Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or representatives thereof and that Administrative Agent and each Lender (and each affiliate thereof) may be subject to review by other regulatory agencies and may be required to provide to, or otherwise make available for review by, the representatives of such parties or agencies any such non-public information.

Section 11.19. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof. Execution of this Agreement by the Loan Parties constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which such Loan Parties may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to any Loan Party or any other Person on any theory of liability for any special indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

Section 11.20. Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for the Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by all of the Borrowers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide to the Administrative Agent and receive from the Administrative Agent all notices with respect to Loans obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It

103

is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall incur liability to the Borrowers as a result hereof. Each of the Borrowers expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each of the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Indemnitees and hold the Indemnitees harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against such Indemnitee by any of the Borrowers or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of the Borrowers as herein provided, (b) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
