2.02. Credit Extensions.

(a) Revolving Line.

(i) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Advances from time to time to Borrower prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.

(ii) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.

2.03. Overadvances. If, at any time, the Total Outstandings exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line and the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall promptly (within one (1) Business Day) pay to Bank in cash the amount of such excess (such excess, the “Overadvance”). Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay Bank any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Bank interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.

-24-

2.04. Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Advances. Subject to Section 2.04(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period therefor plus three percent (3.00%) (the “Applicable Rate”), which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.04(d) below. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event any Advances accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the ABR as a result of any of the events described in Section 12.19, the Applicable Rate shall be two percent (2.0%).

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is two percent (2.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations inclusive of the Default Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.04(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Bank.

(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Adjusted LIBO Rate and to the extent of any such change.

(d) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable in arrears on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to each Advance (or in the case of an Advance with an Interest Period of more than three (3) months’ duration, each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period that occurs at intervals of three months’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period) and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR shall be payable monthly on the first Business Day of each calendar month and shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.

2.05. Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank:

(a) Fee Letter. Fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(b) Commitment Fee. A commitment fee equal to three tenths of one percent (0.30%) times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Line exceeds the Total Outstandings. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 3 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the last day of the Revolving Line Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.

-25-

(c) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, upon demand by Bank); provided that, Bank Expenses in respect of such attorneys’ fees and expenses through the Effective Date shall not exceed an aggregate amount as separately agreed between Bank and Borrower.

(d) Fees Fully Earned. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Bank, Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by Bank pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder. Bank may, at its option, deduct amounts owing by Borrower under the clauses of this Section 2.05 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06(c). Bank shall provide Borrower written notice of deductions made from the Designated Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 2.05.

2.06. Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts.

All payments to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

Bank shall apply payments received with respect to the Obligations, first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to Bank, second, to pay interest then due and payable on any Credit Extension, third, to prepay principal on the Credit Extensions and to pay any amounts owing in respect of Bank Services, and fourth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to Bank from Borrower. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Bank shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Bank or otherwise received by Bank under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank or Bank’s Affiliates. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, such Loan Party agrees that any amounts such Loan Party owes Bank or Bank’s Affiliates thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of such Loan Party and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens).

(c) If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as Bank’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Bank shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to the applicable Loan Party. In the event (i) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (ii) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any.

4.02. Priority of Security Interest. Each Loan Party represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens).

-29-

4.03. Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to such Loan Party, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral in violation of this Agreement, by any Loan Party or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Bank under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.

4.04. Pledged Collateral.

(a) Promptly following receipt by any Loan Party, such Loan Party shall deliver to Bank all certificates or other instruments representing or evidencing any Pledged Interests, accompanied by appropriate duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment (including, without limitation, stock powers and irrevocable proxies) in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Bank. The Perfection Certificate identifies which Pledged Interests are certificated as of the Effective Date. Except as specifically provided in Section 4.04(d) below, each Loan Party shall receive all certificates, cash, instruments, and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable, or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Interests in trust for Bank, and shall promptly upon receipt deliver to Bank such certificates, cash, instruments, and other property and proceeds, together with any necessary endorsement.

(b) No issuer of Pledged Interests that is a limited liability company or limited partnership has elected pursuant to the provisions of Section 8-103 of the Code to provide that its equity interests are securities governed by Article 8 of the Code.

(c) All of the Pledged Interests have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. Each Loan Party granting a security interest in any Pledged Interest has the right and requisite authority to pledge, assign, transfer, deliver, deposit and set over the Pledged Interest owned by such Loan Party to Bank as provided herein. No consent, approval, authorization or other order or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person which has not yet been obtained or made is required either (i) for the pledge by any Loan Party of the Pledged Interests pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) for the exercise by Bank of the voting or other rights in respect of the Pledged Interests provided for in this or the remedies in respect of the Pledged Interests pursuant to this Agreement, except as may be required by the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the issuer of such Pledged Interests is organized or in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally or the Code. The pledge by each Loan Party of such Loan Party’s Pledged Interests pursuant to this Agreement does not violate (i) the charter, by-laws, operating agreement or other organizational documents of any Loan Party granting a security interest in any Pledged Interest or any issuer of any Pledged Interest, or any material indenture, mortgage or agreement to which any such Loan Party or issuer is bound, or (ii) any restriction on such transfer or encumbrance of Pledged Interests, or (iii) any securities law or other applicable law. With respect to any Pledged Interests constituting uncertificated securities, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the applicable Loan Party granting a security interest in any Pledged Interest and issuer of any Pledged Interest together with the filing of a financing statement in the applicable Loan Party’s jurisdiction of organization will perfect Bank’s security interest in such Pledged Interests and any proceeds thereof by

-30-

“control” (within the meaning of the Code). With respect to any Pledged Interests constituting certificated securities, the delivery of the certificate representing such Pledged Interests endorsed to Bank or in blank will perfect Bank’s security interest in such Pledged Interests and any proceeds thereof by control.

(d) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) each Loan Party shall have the right to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Interests or any other Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of Bank in respect of the Collateral, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.

(ii) Each Loan Party shall be entitled to collect and receive for its own use, and shall not be required to pledge pursuant to Sections 4.01 or 6.12, any cash dividends, proceeds or distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Interests, except such dividends, proceeds or distributions as are prohibited under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that until actually paid, all rights to any such permitted dividends, proceeds or distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement. All dividends, proceeds or distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Interests of the Loan Parties whenever paid or made (other than such cash dividends, proceeds or distributions as are permitted to be paid to such Loan Party in accordance with this clause (ii)) shall be delivered to Bank to hold as Collateral and shall, if recovered by such Loan Party, be received in trust for the benefit of Bank, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Loan Party, and be forthwith delivered to Bank as Collateral.

9.01. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.05 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(d) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable, and notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in such funds;

-52-

(e) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. The Loan Parties shall assemble the Collateral if Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Loan Party grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(f) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of any Loan Party it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of the Loan Parties;

(g) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral (other than deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes, and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of the Loan Parties’ employees and identified to Bank by Borrower as such);

(h) demand and receive possession of the Books; and

(i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank under the Loan Documents or any Bank Services Agreement or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.02. Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse such Loan Party’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Loan Party’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Each Loan Party hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign such Loan Party’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as such Loan Party’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.03. Protective Payments. If any Loan Party fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.07 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which such Loan Party is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest

-53-

at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide such Loan Party with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.04. Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession and constituting Collateral (other than deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes, and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of the Loan Parties’ employees and identified to Bank by Borrower as such), whether from such Loan Party’s account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations. Bank shall pay any surplus to the Loan Parties by credit to the Designated Deposit Account or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; the Loan Parties shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.

9.05. Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. The Loan Parties bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.06. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Loan Parties of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Bank Services Agreement shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any Bank Services Agreement are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.07. Demand Waiver. Each Loan Party waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Bank on which such Loan Party is liable.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12 General Provisions.

12.01. Termination Prior to Revolving Line Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.01 of this Agreement) have been satisfied. So long as the Loan Parties have satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 4.01 of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination.

12.02. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. No Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion). Bank has the right, without the consent of any Loan Party, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. So long as no Event of Default is continuing, Bank shall provide Borrower with 5 Business Days’ prior notice of any such assignment; provided that (a) the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of such assignment or result in any liability of Bank and (b) no such notice shall be required in connection with any participation. Bank, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each assignment or other transfer delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the assignee(s), transferee(s), participant(s) or other recipient(s), and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Credit Extensions owing to, each such assignee, transferee, participant or other recipient pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Bank and any assignee, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 12.02 shall be construed so that the Credit Extensions are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the

-56-

meaning of Section 5£103-1(c) or proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated under the IRC. Each lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no such lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5£103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

12.03. Indemnification. Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and any Bank Services Agreement; and (b) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, or arising from transactions between Bank and any Loan Party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) under the Loan Documents and any Bank Services Agreement, except for Claims and/or losses directly (x) caused by any Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) resulting from a claim brought by a Loan Party against an Indemnified Person for any material breach of such Indemnified Person’s obligations hereunder or under another Loan Document, if such Loan Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 12.03 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

This Section 12.03 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.

12.04. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

12.05. Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

12.06. [Reserved].

12.07. Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought.

-57-

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

12.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

12.09. Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information regarding the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and their business, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Bank, collectively, “Bank Entities”) (provided that such Bank Entities have agreed to the terms of this provision or to terms substantially the same as those of this provision); (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, Bank shall obtain any prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision or to terms substantially the same as those of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Bank in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party, if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. Bank Entities may use confidential information for the development of databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.10. Taxes.

(a) Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by any Loan Party, then the applicable Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, and, if such Tax is imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party under any Loan Document or Other Tax (an “Indemnified Tax”), then the sum payable

-58-

by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; provided, however, that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section 12.10(a) with respect to any participation than the participating or assigning Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. For purposes of this Section 12.10, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents, Indemnified Taxes shall not include Excluded Taxes.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby indemnifies Bank, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Bank or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Bank and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Indemnified Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice by Bank, such Loan Party shall pay such Indemnified Taxes directly to the relevant taxing authority or governmental authority; provided that Bank shall not be under any obligation to provide any such notice to any Loan Party. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) If Bank is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Bank shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Bank, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Person that becomes a successor, assignee or participant (or other transferee) of Bank pursuant to Section 12.02 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 12.10(c), as if it were “Bank” (it being understood that for participants the documentation required under this Section shall be delivered to the participating Bank).

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the applicable Loan Party shall deliver to Bank the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Bank.

(e) Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Bank, the termination of the Credit Extensions and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

-59-

12.11. Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. In any action or proceeding between any Loan Party and Bank arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, Bank shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

12.12. Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

12.13. Right of Setoff. Each Loan Party hereby grants to Bank a Lien and a right of setoff as security for all Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank (including a subsidiary of Bank) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may setoff the same or any part thereof (other than amounts in deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes, and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of such Loan Party’s employees and identified to Bank by Borrower as such) and apply the same to any liability or Obligation of such Loan Party even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE BANK TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF ANY LOAN PARTY, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

12.14. Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

12.15. Construction of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist.

12.16. Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract.

12.17. Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.

12.18. Patriot Act; Compliance with Sanctions. Pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, Borrower must provide information to Bank that enables it to verify identification information concerning Borrower, including the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow Bank to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

12.19. LIBO Provisions.

(a) Compensation for Losses. In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Advance other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate Bank for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to Bank shall be deemed to include an amount determined by Bank to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Advance had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Advance, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Advance), over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that Bank would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank eurodollar market. A certificate of Bank setting forth any amount or amounts that Bank is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof

(b) Increased Costs.

(i) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

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

(2) subject Bank to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(3) impose on Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by Bank;

-61-

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to Bank of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Bank, Borrower will pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that Bank notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(i) If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, Bank determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower) that, (1) by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank eurodollar market, the “LIBO Rate” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, (2) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of the applicable Advance, or (3) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Bank of funding such Advance, Bank will promptly so notify Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of Bank to make or maintain Advances with an interest rate based on the LIBO Rate shall be suspended until Bank revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an Advance with an interest rate based on ABR in the amount specified therein.

-62-

(ii) Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(1) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, Bank may amend this Agreement to replace LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the tenth (10’) Business Day after Bank has provided such proposed amendment to Borrower without any further action or consent of Borrower, so long as Bank has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Borrower. No replacement of the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 12.19(c)(ii) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date

(2) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Bank will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower.

(3) Bank will promptly notify Borrower of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Bank pursuant to this Section 12.19(c)(ii), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in Bank’s sole discretion and without consent from Borrower, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 12.19(c)(ii).

(4) Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower may revoke any request for an Advance the interest rate of which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, conversion to or continuation of an Advance the interest rate of which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans.
