(a) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate pursuant to Section 4), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Lender; or (ii) shall impose on the Lender any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans, its Note or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans; and the result of anything described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) the Lender (or any LIBOR Office of the Lender) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender (or its LIBOR Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, then upon demand by the Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender such additional amount as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or such reduction.

(b) If the Lender shall reasonably determine that any change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit to a level below that which the Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such change, adoption, phase-in or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by the Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting

14766353\V-9

forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender such additional amount as will compensate the Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction.

8.2.

Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If:

(a) the Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on the Borrowers) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate; or

(b) the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Lender will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of maintaining or funding LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period (taking into account any amount to which the Lender may be entitled under Section 8.1) or that the making or funding of LIBOR Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in the opinion of the Lender materially affects such Loans;

then the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) the Lender shall not be under any obligation to make or convert any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans and (ii) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan, such Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

8.3. Changes in Law Rendering LIBOR Loans Unlawful. If any change in, or the adoption of any new, law or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of the Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for the Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, then the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (a) the Lender shall have no obligation to make or convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan and (b) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such LIBOR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.

8.4. Funding Losses. The Borrowers hereby agree that upon demand by the Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the amount being claimed), the Borrowers will indemnify the Lender against any net loss or expense which the Lender may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by the Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Loan), as reasonably determined by the Lender, as a result of (a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan (including any conversion pursuant to Section 8.3) or (b) any failure of the Borrowers to borrow, convert or continue any Loan on a date specified therefor in a

14766353\V-9

notice of borrowing, conversion or continuation pursuant to this Agreement. For this purpose, all notices to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

8.5. Right of Lender to Fund through Other Offices. The Lender may, if it so elects, funds any LIBOR Loan by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of the Lender to make such Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by the Lender and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to the Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.

8.6. Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if the Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period.

8.7.

Mitigation of Circumstances.

The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in the Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation by the Borrowers to pay any amount pursuant to Sections 7.5 or 8.1 or (ii) the occurrence of any circumstances described in Sections 8.2 or 8.3 (and, if the Lender has given notice of any such event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, the Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower Representative). Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender will designate a different funding office if such designation will avoid (or reduce the cost to the Borrowers of) any event described in clause (i) or (ii) above and such designation will not, in the Lender’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

8.8. Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of the Lender pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Lender may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 8.1 and 8.4, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of the Note, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement.

9.5. No Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2008 there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations, assets, business or properties of the Loan Parties taken as a whole (it being acknowledged and understood by the Lender that the mere existence of a loss for any one or more reporting periods which does not materially vary from the projections furnished to the Lender prior to the Closing Date, or the use of cash to fund such losses shall not, in and of itself, constitute a material adverse change).

9.6. Litigation and Contingent Liabilities.

Each Pension Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations. No contribution failure under Section 412 of the Code, Section 302 of ERISA or the terms of any Pension Plan has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan, sufficient to give rise to a Lien under Section 302(f) of ERISA, or otherwise to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened, claims, actions, investigations or lawsuits against any Pension Plan, any fiduciary of any Pension Plan, or any Loan Party or other any member of the Controlled Group with respect to a Pension Plan or a Multiemployer Pension Plan which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party nor any other member of the Controlled Group has engaged in any prohibited transaction (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) in connection with any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Pension Plan which would subject that Person to any material liability. Within the past five years, neither any Loan Party nor any other member of the Controlled Group has engaged in a transaction which resulted in a Pension Plan with an Unfunded Liability being transferred out of the Controlled Group, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Termination Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Pension Plan, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

14766353\V-9

14766353\V-9

9.14. Environmental Matters.

SECTION 14

GENERAL.

14.1. Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by the Lender, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

14.2. Confirmations. The Borrowers and Lender agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under such Note.

Lender shall be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that the Lender in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee of the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall hold the Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance.

14.4. Computations. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied; provided that if the Borrower Representative notifies the Lender that the Borrowers wish to amend any covenant in Sections 10 or 11.14 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the Lender notifies the Borrower Representative that the Lender wishes to amend Sections 10 or 11.14 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then the Borrowers’ compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Lender.

14.5. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lender (including Attorney Costs and any Taxes) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including perfection and protection of any Collateral and the costs of Intralinks (or other similar service), if applicable) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document), whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated, and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and any Taxes) incurred by the Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the collection of the Obligations or the enforcement of this Agreement the other Loan Documents or any such other documents or during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof.

14.6.

Assignments; Participations.

14.6.1 Assignments. The Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all of the Lender’s Loans and Revolving Authorization, with the prior written consent, so long as no Event of Default exists, of the Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by the Lender to an Affiliate of the Lender).

14.6.2 Participations. The Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, Revolving Authorization or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a

The Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which the Lender enters into with any Participant. The Borrowers agree that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and with respect to any Letter of Credit to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. Each Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8 as if it were a Lender (provided that on the date of the participation no Participant shall be entitled to any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.6 or 8 than would have been paid to the Lender on such date if no participation had been sold).

As required by federal law and the Lender's policies and practices, the Lender may need to obtain, verify, and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts, or establishing or continuing to provide services. The Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts the Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information provided to it by any Loan Party and designated as confidential, except that the Lender may disclose such information (a) to Persons employed or engaged by the Lender in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans and the Revolving Authorization; (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenant contained in this Section 14.8 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) above); (c) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by the Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process; (d) as, on the advice of the Lender’s counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any litigation to which the Lender is a party; (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about the Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to the Lender; (g) to any Affiliate of the Lender who may provide Bank Products to the Loan Parties; or (h) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of the Lender.

14766353\V-9

to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

14.9. Severability. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. All obligations of the Borrowers and rights of the Lender expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law.

14.10. Nature of Remedies. All Obligations of the Borrowers and rights of the Lender expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
