SECTION 2. THE COMMITMENTS

2.1. Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) Each Bank severally agrees, on and subject to the terms of this Agreement, to make loans (“Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to but not exceeding the difference between (1) the Bank’s Revolving Credit Loan Commitment at such time, and (2) the sum of (A) the Bank’s Pro-Rata Share of the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time, (B) the Bank’s LC Exposure at such time, and (C) the Bank’s Swingline Exposure at such time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during such period the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans.

(b) The Revolving Credit Loans made on each Borrowing Date may, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be Base Rate Loans or Libor Loans (each being referred to in this Agreement as a “type” of Loan) as specified in the relevant notice of borrowing referred to in Section 2.4(a) hereof; provided that (1) no more than 10 Loans constituting Libor Loans may be outstanding at any one time, and (2) subject to clause (1) above, the Borrower may Convert Loans of one type into Loans of the other type or Continue Loans of one type as Loans of the same type, all as hereinafter provided.

2.2. Swingline Loans.

(a) The Swingline Lender agrees, on and subject to the terms of this Agreement, to make loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Swingline Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to but not exceeding the Swingline Loan Commitment at such time less the aggregate principal balance of all Swingline Loans outstanding at such time; provided, that the aggregate principal balance of all Swingline Loans then outstanding (or which would be outstanding if such Swingline Loan were to be made) plus the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding plus the aggregate LC Exposure of all Banks at such time does not exceed the total Commitments of all Banks at such time. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during such period the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) If the Borrower does not repay any Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Swingline Note or any of the other Credit Documents, then the Banks shall reimburse the Swingline Lender on demand for the unpaid amount of such Swingline Loans. Such reimbursements shall be made by the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Banks on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each Bank shall fund its respective Pro-Rata Share of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Swingline Loans outstanding to the Swingline Lender upon demand by the Swingline Lender but in no event later than 2:00 p.m., Central Time, on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made. No Bank’s obligation to fund its Pro-Rata Share of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Bank’s failure to fund its Pro-

Rata Share of a Swingline Loan. Similarly, the Borrower’s obligation to repay Swingline Loans shall not be affected by any Bank’s failure to reimburse the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2.

(c) If any portion of any principal payment made by the Borrower to the Swingline Lender on account of any Swingline Loan shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all of the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares.

(d) Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2 is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the existence of a Default or an Event of Default. Further, each Bank agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2, one of the events described in Sections 7(h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred, each Bank will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in the Swingline Loan to be refunded in an amount equal to its Pro-Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Bank will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Bank a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Bank such Bank’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Bank its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Bank’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

(e) The parties acknowledge that the Swingline Loan facility referred to in this Section 2.2 is a subfacility of the Revolving Credit Loan facility referred to in Section 2.1 above and, accordingly, its use by the Borrower shall act to reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of credit otherwise available to the Borrower under such Revolving Credit Loan facility.

2.3. Letters of Credit

(a) The Issuing Bank agrees, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to issue one or more letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day from the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Credit Termination Date as so requested by the Borrower; provided, however, that the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if (1) the LC Exposure of all Banks exceeds, or would exceed with the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments for all Banks at such time, (2) the aggregate LC Exposure of all Banks at such time plus the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding plus the aggregate Swingline Exposure of all Banks at such times exceeds, or would exceed if such Letter of Credit were issued, the total Commitments of all Banks at such time, (3) any Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, (4) the expiry date of the Letter of Credit occurs more than one-year after its issuance date (subject to extension for additional one-year periods by the Issuing Bank, in its sole discretion, provided that any automatic renewal clause requested in such Letter of Credit shall require notice of non-renewal to be given to the Issuing Bank no more than 90 days from the stated expiry date), (5) the expiry date of such Letter of Credit occurs, or under any circumstances may occur, on or after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (6) the Borrower fails to sign such Reimbursement Agreements and other documents as the Issuing Bank may reasonably request in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit, or (7) the form or contents of such requested Letter of Credit are not reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, to be allocated by the Administrative Agent among the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares, a fee with respect to each Letter

of Credit computed at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Libor Loans, as in effect from time to time, plus 0.10% (i.e., 10 basis points), on the face amount of such Letter of Credit, provided that the annual fee for each Letter of Credit shall be at least $250 (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). The Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable in advance as to Letters of Credit that are not issued as Foreign Currency Letters of Credit, with the first payment due on the issuance date of the Letter of Credit, and annually thereafter on each anniversary date thereof. The Letter of Credit Fees as to Foreign Currency Letters of Credit shall be payable in arrears, with the payment due on each annual anniversary date of issuance and at expiration.

(c) In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees described above, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Bank, for its own account and not for the benefit of the Banks, for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred by the Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, the Issuing Bank’s scheduled fees from time to time in respect of documentary letters of credit.

(d) The Borrower shall execute such letter of credit application forms and/or Reimbursement Agreements as the Issuing Bank may request from time to time and, in any event, the Borrower shall be absolutely and unconditionally liable to reimburse the Issuing Bank on demand for any liability the Issuing Bank may incur in connection with the issuance of any Letters of Credit, including, without limitation, any draws or other payments made thereunder, and the Borrower assumes all risks in connection therewith, except to the extent such liability is the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

(e) If the Issuing Bank issues a Letter of Credit under this Section 2.3, the Issuing Bank shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, who shall in turn give to each Bank prompt written or telecopy advice of the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(f) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit, and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Banks in respect thereof, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have granted to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed to have acquired from the Issuing Bank, a participation, to the extent of its Pro-Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank, in accordance with Section 2.3(g) below, such Bank’s Pro-Rata Share of all Reimbursement Obligations; provided, however, that the Bank shall not be obligated to make any such payment with respect to any disbursement made under any Letter of Credit as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its acquisition of participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of any Default or Event of Default hereunder, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding, or reduction whatsoever.

(g) Promptly after it shall have ascertained that any draft and any accompanying documents presented under a Letter of Credit appear to be in conformity with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall give written or telecopy notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Banks of the receipt and amount of such draft and the date on which payment thereon will be made. If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrower the payment required pursuant to Section 2.3(h) below by 10:00 a.m., Central Time, one Business Day after the date on which payment of a draft present under any Letter of Credit has been made, the Issuing Bank shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and each Bank, specifying in the notice to each Bank its Pro-Rata Share of such disbursement. Each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent, not later than 2:00 p.m., Central Time, on such date, such Bank’s Pro-Rata Share of such disbursement, which the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank shall promptly remit to each Bank its Pro-Rata Share of any amount subsequently received by the Issuing Bank in respect of any such disbursement.

(h) If the Issuing Bank shall pay any draft presented under a Letter of Credit under circumstances entitling it to reimbursement under the applicable Reimbursement Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of any such draft, and shall make all other payments required by, and comply with all other terms and conditions of, the applicable Reimbursement Agreement. With respect to any such payment which becomes due under the terms of this Section 2.3(h), the Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option, to cause such payment to be made when due by charging such payment as an advance under the Revolving Credit Loans.

(i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or the occurrence of any Default described in Sections 7(h), 7(i) or 7(j), an amount equal to the amount of the then aggregate LC Exposure shall without demand upon or notice to the Borrower or any other Person, be deemed (as between the Issuing Bank and the Borrower) to have been paid by the Issuing Bank under the then outstanding Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such amount may not in fact have been so paid), and the Borrower shall be immediately obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount deemed to have been so paid. Any amounts so received by the Issuing Bank pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be deposited to a restricted deposit account (the “Assignee Deposit Account”) maintained by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for the repayment of the Obligations. Neither the Borrower nor any other Person shall have any right to withdraw funds deposited in the Assignee Deposit Account, which right shall be vested solely in the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Banks. The funds deposited in the Assignee Deposit Account pursuant to this subsection 2.3(i) shall be applied at any time to the Obligations whether or not then due in such order of application as the Majority Banks may determine in their sole and absolute discretion.

(j) The parties acknowledge that the Letter of Credit facility referred to in this Section 2.3 is a subfacility of the Revolving Credit Loan facility referred to in Section 2.1 above and, accordingly, its use by the Borrower shall act to reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of credit otherwise available to the Borrower under such Revolving Credit Loan facility.

(k) The Borrower may request that Letters of Credit be issued as Foreign Currency Letters of Credit (meaning that such Letters of Credit are denominated in a currency other than Dollars). With regard to each Foreign Currency Letter of Credit: (1) the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank, for the benefit of the Banks pursuant to their respective Pro-Rata Shares, for all currency fluctuation losses incurred by the Issuing Bank or any Bank in connection with any decline in the value of the Dollar relative to the applicable foreign currency at the time of any draw or other payment made under such Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, and (2) the Administrative Agent, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, shall have the right to periodically xxxx to market or otherwise adjust the LC Exposure of the Banks to reflect any such foreign currency fluctuation, and accordingly to reduce the amount of credit available to the Borrower under this Agreement because of such foreign currency fluctuation.

2.4. Borrowings.

(a) The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Banks in writing) of each borrowing hereunder as provided in Section 2.17 hereof.

(b) Not later than 1:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date specified for each borrowing hereunder, each Bank shall make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Revolving Credit Loan to be made by it on such date, at such account maintained by the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent shall specify, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, promptly be made

available to the Borrower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in one or more accounts of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent.

2.5. Reductions and Changes of Commitments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to reduce the Revolving Credit Loan Commitments, upon notice as provided herein; provided, however, that each reduction in the total Revolving Credit Loan Commitments is an amount of not less than $5,000,000 and whole multiples of $1,000,000.

(b) Commitments once reduced in accordance with Section 2.5(a) may not be reinstated, unless each Bank shall agree to the reinstatement of such Commitments upon the request of the Borrower; provided, however, that any Bank may decline any such request for reinstatement, in its sole discretion.

2.6. Lending Offices. The Loans of each type made by each Bank shall be made and maintained at such Bank’s applicable lending office for Loans of such type.

2.7. Several Obligations. The failure of any Bank to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, and neither any Bank nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make a Loan to be made by such other Bank.

2.8. Notes. The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Bank under its Revolving Credit Loan Commitment shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower in favor of such Bank in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (as to such Bank, as the same may be amended, renewed, restated, replaced, consolidated or otherwise modified from time to time, its “Revolving Credit Note”). Each Revolving Credit Note shall be dated as of the Closing Date, payable to the order of such Bank in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan Commitment then in effect and otherwise duly completed. Each Loan made by each Bank under its Revolving Credit Loan Commitment, and all payments and prepayments made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Bank on its books and records. Similarly, Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower in favor of such Bank in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, as the same may be amended, renewed, restated, replaced, consolidated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swingline Note”). The Swingline Note shall be dated as of the Closing Date, payable to the order of the Swingline Lender in a principal amount equal to the total Swingline Loan Commitment then in effect and otherwise duly completed.

2.9. Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Subject to Section 4 hereof, the Borrower shall have the right to Convert Loans of one type into Loans of the other type or Continue Loans of one type as Loans of the same type, at any time or from time to time, provided that (a) Libor Loans may be Converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans, and (b) Swingline Loans may be outstanding only as Base Rate Loans.

2.10. Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank the full outstanding principal amount of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Loans made under its Revolving Credit Loan Commitment (and all accrued interest thereon in accordance with Section 2.11) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, or such earlier date as may be herein provided. The outstanding principal balance of each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable, without notice or demand, on the earlier to occur of: (a) five Business Days after the disbursement thereof, (b) the Swingline Termination Date, or (c) such earlier date as may be herein provided.

2.11. Interest.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Bank, (including, without limitation, each Swingline Loan) for the period commencing on and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan is paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

	(1)		during any period while such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin (as in effect from time to time); and

	(2)		during any period while a Revolving Credit Loan is a Libor Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the Libor Reserve Adjusted Rate for such Revolving Credit Loan for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin (as in effect from time to time).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank interest at the applicable Default Rate on any principal of any Loan of such Bank, (including, without limitation, any Swingline Loan) and on any interest or other amount payable by the Borrower, as applicable, hereunder or under any Note held by such Bank, which is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period commencing on and including the due date thereof until the same is paid in full.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (1) in the case of each Revolving Credit Loan which is a Base Rate Loan, and in the case of all Swingline Loans, on the first day of each month, (2) in the case of each Revolving Credit Loan which is a Libor Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at three-month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period, provided that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand.

2.12. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to giving the Administrative Agent prior notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 hereof, provided that (1) each such partial prepayment shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than $100,000 (except for the prepayment of a Swingline Loan in an original principal amount of less than $100,000, in which case such prepayment shall be in the amount of the outstanding principal balance of such Swingline Loan), and (2) any prepayment of a Libor Loan may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period therefor. Amounts prepaid in respect of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans under this Section 2.12 may be reborrowed on and subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

2.13. Mandatory Prepayments. On any date, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Credit Loans to the extent the then-outstanding principal balance of such Loans exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Loan Commitments at such time. The Borrower shall likewise prepay the Swingline Loans to the extent the then-outstanding principal balance of such Loans exceeds the Swingline Loan Commitment at such time.

2.14. Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents, without notice or demand, and without exercising any right of setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 1:00 p.m., Central Time, on the date when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at such office as the Administrative Agent may designate from time to time by giving notice thereof to the Borrower. Payments received after 1:00 p.m., Central Time, shall be

deemed received by the Administrative Agent on the next following Business Day, and interest shall accrue on such amount until such next Business Day. The Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrower to which such payment is to be applied; provided, however, that (a) the Administrative Agent and each affected Bank, and not the Borrower, shall have the exclusive right to allocate any payments as between principal and interest (but not as between Base Rate Loans and Libor Loans); (b) if the Borrower fails to so specify such payment, the Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to allocate such payment as it so chooses; and (c) so long as any Default or Event of Default is in effect, the Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to allocate such payments as it sees fit. Insofar as the Borrower’s obligations are concerned, payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute payment to the Banks. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge the payments due hereunder to Borrower’s demand deposit account (No. 5290000743) established with the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall remit to each Bank its Pro-Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest under the Loans and all Shared Fees received by the Administrative Agent on the Business Day the Administrative Agent receives such payments; provided, however, that if any such payment is received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m., Central Time, on such Business Day, then the Administrative Agent shall endeavor to remit to each Bank its Pro-Rata Share of such payment on such Business Day but shall be under no duty to do so. If the Administrative Agent fails to remit any such payment received after 2:00 p.m., Central Time, on any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall remit to each Bank its Pro-Rata Share of such payment on the next following Business Day.

(c) All payments from the Administrative Agent to a Bank, and all payments from a Bank to the Administrative Agent, in each case contemplated by this Agreement, shall be made by electronic funds transfer or by such other means and pursuant to such instructions as the Administrative Agent and such Bank may agree from time to time, any such agreement to be confirmed in writing at the request of the Administrative Agent or such Bank.

(e) If the due date of any payment under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall (unless otherwise expressly provided herein) be extended to the immediately succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

2.15. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided herein:

	(a)		each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans hereunder shall be made from the Banks, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Credit Loan Commitments shall be applied to such Commitments of the Banks, in each case in accordance with the Banks’ respective Pro-Rata Shares;

	(b)		the making, Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular type (except as otherwise provided in Section 3 hereof) shall be undertaken by the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares; and

	(c)		each payment and prepayment by the Borrower of principal of or interest on the Loans shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares, and likewise each payment of the Shared Fees (but not any other fees or amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank whether pursuant to a separate letter or otherwise) shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares.

2.16. Minimum Amounts. Each borrowing of or Conversion into Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount of at least $250,000 and a whole multiple of $50,000 (other than borrowings of Swingline Loans, which shall be in an amount of at least $25,000 and a whole multiple of $5,000), and each borrowing of, Conversion into or Continuation of Libor Loans shall be in an amount of $1,000,000 and a whole multiple of $500,000 (borrowings, Conversions or Continuations of or into Loans of different types or, in the case of Libor Loans, having different Interest Periods at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings or Conversions for purposes of the foregoing, one for each type or Interest Period). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of Libor Loans having the same Interest Period shall be at least equal to $1,000,000 and, if any Libor Loans would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans during such period.

2.17. Certain Notices. The Borrower shall give notices to the Administrative Agent of all borrowings, terminations of Commitments, Conversions, Continuations or prepayments of Loans, and of the duration of Interest periods, such notices to be substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant borrowing, termination, Conversion, Continuation or prepayment or the first day of such Interest Period specified below:


	Notice of Business
Notice	Days Prior
Termination of Commitments		1

Borrowing or prepayment of, or Conversion into, Base Rate Loans; or borrowing or prepayment of Swingline Loans		0

Borrowing or prepayment of, Conversion into, Continuation as, or duration of Interest Period for, Libor Loans		3

Each such notice of termination shall specify that it relates to the Revolving Credit Loan Commitments and the aggregate amount of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such notice of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or prepayment shall specify the aggregate amount of Loans to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or prepaid and the amount, the type of Loans to be borrowed, Converted, Continued or prepaid (and, in the case of a Conversion, the type of Loans to result from such Conversion) and the date of borrowing, Conversion, Continuation or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of the contents of each such notice. In the event that the Borrower fails to select the type of Loan, or the duration of any Interest Period, for any Libor Loan within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 2.17, such Loan (if outstanding as a Libor Loan) will be automatically Converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan.

If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from the Borrower of a requested borrowing of a Base Rate Loan by 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on any Business Day, then the Agent shall give written notice of such

requested borrowing to the Banks by 11:00 a.m., Central Time, on the same Business Day, and, as provided in Section 2.4(b), each Bank shall remit its Pro-Rata Share of the requested borrowing, subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, by 1:00 p.m., Central Time, on the same Business Day. Similarly, if the Administrative Agent receives a notice from the Borrower of a requested borrowing of a Libor Loan by 10:00 a.m., Central Time, on any Business Day, then the Agent shall give written notice of such requested borrowing to the Banks by 11:00 a.m., Central Time, on the same Business Day, and, as provided in Section 2.4(b), each Bank shall remit its Pro-Rata Share of the requested borrowing, subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, by 1:00 p.m., Central Time, on the third Business Day thereafter.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.17 to the contrary, if the Borrower gives notice of a requested borrowing of a Swingline Loan to the Swingline Lender by 2:00 p.m., Central Time, on any Business Day, then, subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender shall disburse the requested Swingline Loan on the same Business Day.

2.18. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Borrower prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Bank) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or (in the case of the Borrower) a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks hereunder (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, that it does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance on such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date and, if such Bank has not made, or the Borrower (as the case may be) does not make, the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent by the close of business on the date due, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on and including the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum, equal to (1) in the case of the Borrower, the Base Rate, and (2) in the case of a Bank, the Administrative Agent’s cost of overnight funds, in each case for each day such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to make any Loan to the Borrower to the extent a Bank has failed to first remit its Pro-Rata Share of such Loan to the Administrative Agent.

2.19. Balances; Sharing of Payments.

(a) The Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Bank may otherwise have, each Bank shall be entitled, at its option, to set off and apply balances held by it for the account of the Borrower at any of its offices or held by any of such Bank’s Affiliates, in Dollars or in any other currency, whether or not matured, against any principal of or interest on any of such Bank’s Loans, or any other amount payable to such Bank hereunder, which is not paid when due in accordance with the terms hereof (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Bank’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set off.

(b) If any Bank shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise, and, as a result of such payment, such Bank shall have received a greater percentage of the principal or interest then due hereunder by the Borrower to such Bank than its Pro-Rata Share thereof, it shall promptly purchase from such other Banks’ participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Bank, direct interests in) the Loans made by or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to such other Banks (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other

adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Bank in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and/or interest on the Loans or Reimbursement Obligation held by each of the Banks. To such end, all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans made by other Banks or the Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Bank (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) may exercise any and all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of Loans or Reimbursement Obligation in the amount of such participation. Nothing in this Agreement shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Bank receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 2.19 applies, such Bank shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Banks entitled under this Section 2.19 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 2.19(a) or (b) above, if the Swingline Lender or any Bank at any time has a separate credit relationship with the Borrower – separate and apart from such Person’s credit relationship with the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents – and such Person exercises any right of set-off, banker’s lien or other right or claim with respect to any amounts due such Person by the Borrower under any such separate credit relationship, then all proceeds of such set-off, banker’s lien or other right or claim, as the case may be, shall first be applied against the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, before being applied against the Borrower’s obligations under such separate credit relationship.

2.20. Computation of Interest. Interest on the principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding and any other amount due hereunder and calculated on a per annum basis (including, without limitation, Letter of Credit Fees and the Unused Line Fee) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed or the number of days to which such fee or other per annum amount applies, as the case may be. Each payment of interest shall be computed on the basis of the principal amount outstanding during each day of the term of each Loan and Reimbursement Obligation and the interest rate applicable to each such day.

2.21. Guaranty. Payment and performance of the Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty.

2.22. Advances After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject, nevertheless, to Section 9.4 hereof, the Majority Banks may, but shall have no obligation of any kind whatsoever to, extend any credit or make any loan or advance to the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents so long as any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

2.23. Original Credit Agreement; Existing Loans and LCs.

(a) Upon the Closing Date, (a) this Agreement shall act to amend, restate and replace the Original Credit Agreement in its entirety, (b) any right of the Borrower to obtain credit and any duty on the part of any Person to extend credit under the Original Credit Agreement shall be terminated, and (c) all letters of credit outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement (collectively, “Existing LCs”) shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit outstanding under this Agreement and subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement relating

to Letters of Credit and, without further action on any Person’s part and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (1) the Borrower shall be unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank on demand for all draws and other amounts paid under such Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether the Borrower executed a reimbursement agreement or the like with respect to such Letters of Credit, and (2) the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to be the issuer of (and hence the Issuing Bank with respect to) such Letters of Credit, and to have granted to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed to have acquired from the Issuing Bank, a participation in each such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank’s Pro-Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Commitments on the Closing Date. If there are any unpaid commitment fees or other amounts owing under the Original Credit Agreement (other than principal and interest and letter of credit reimbursement obligations as provided above), the Borrower agrees to pay such amounts on demand to U.S. Bank N.A. in its capacity as the agent or the sole lender under the Original Credit Agreement, notwithstanding that this Agreement otherwise amends, restates and replaces the Original Credit Agreement, and the Administrative Agent and the Banks agree that U.S. Bank N.A. may keep and retain such amounts for its own account.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Section of this Agreement, the Borrower agrees that as of the Closing Date, the per annum Letter of Credit Fees for the Existing LCs shall not be readjusted; provided, however, to the extent any Existing LC is renewed following the Closing Date, then the per annum Letter of Credit Fee shall be adjusted at the time of renewal to the fee amount calculated in accordance with Section 2.3(b), above.

SECTION 3. FEES; YIELD PROTECTION

3.1. Unused Line Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (to be allocated by the Administrative Agent to the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Shares), on the first day of each fiscal quarter, for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for the Unused Line Fee for such preceding fiscal quarter of the difference between (a) the average daily Commitments for all Banks for such preceding quarter, and (b) the Average Daily Credit Balance for such preceding fiscal quarter.

3.2. [Intentionally omitted].

3.3. Additional Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank from time to time such amounts as such Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs which such Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining any Loans or its obligation to make any Loans or issue or participate in any Letters of Credit hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Bank hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or Letters of Credit or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”) resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

	(a)		changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Bank under this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Credit Documents in respect of any of the Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank); or

	(b)		imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, minimum capital, capital ratio or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of Libor Reserve Adjusted Rate for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Bank (including any of the Loans), or any Commitment of such Bank; or

(c)

imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement, the Notes held by such Bank (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities), the Letters of Credit, any of the other Credit Documents, the Loans, or the Commitment of such Bank or its lending office.

Each Bank will notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Closing Date which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.3 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation (which determination such Bank will endeavor to make with reasonable promptness). Each Bank will furnish the Borrower with a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request by the Bank for compensation under this Section 3.3.

Without limiting the effect of the provisions of this Section 3.3, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Bank becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of a category of deposits or liabilities which it may hold which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Libor Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of assets of such Bank which includes Libor Loans, then, if such Bank so elects by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Bank to make and to Continue, and to Convert Loans of any other type into, Libor Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (and all Libor Loans then held by such Bank shall be Converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the Interest Periods applicable thereto, or immediately if holding any such Libor Loan would be contrary to any Requirement of Law).

Determinations and allocations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 3.3 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs or rate of return of maintaining the Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of the Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Bank under this Section 3.3, shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis and are set forth in reasonable detail in the certificates referred to herein.

3.4. Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any Libor Rate for any Interest Period the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “Libor” in Section 1.1 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for Libor Loans as provided herein, then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Bank prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Banks shall be under no obligation to make additional Loans of such type, to Continue Loans of such type or to Convert Loans of any other type into Loans of such type and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Loans of such type, either prepay such Loans or Convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans.

3.5. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Bank to honor its obligation to make or maintain Libor Loans hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Bank’s obligation to make or Continue Libor Loans, or Convert Loans into Libor Loans, shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make and maintain Libor Loans (and such Bank’s outstanding Libor Loans shall be Converted into Base Rate Loans in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof).

3.6. Certain Conversions. If the Libor Loans of any Bank (such Loans being herein called “Affected Loans”) are to be Converted pursuant to Section 3.3 or 3.4 or 3.5 hereof, such Bank’s Affected Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the Affected Loans (or, if holding such Affected Loan would be contrary to any Requirement of Law, on such earlier date as such Bank may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent)

and, unless and until such Bank gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 hereof which gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

	(a)		to the extent that such Bank’s Affected Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Bank’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

	(b)		all Loans which would otherwise be made or Continued by such Bank as Libor Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans and all Loans of such Bank which would otherwise be Converted into Libor Loans shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base Rate Loans.

If such Bank gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 hereof which gave rise to the Conversion or non-Continuation of such Bank’s Affected Loans pursuant to this Section 3.6 no longer exist (which such Bank agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Libor Loans are outstanding, such Bank’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Libor Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Banks holding Libor Loans and by such Bank are held pro rata (as to principal amounts and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Loan Commitments.

3.7. Compensation.

	(1)		if a Default or Event of Default exists at the time the Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Person must become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty within five Business Days after becoming a Subsidiary of the Borrower;

	(2)		if a Default or Event of Default occurs after the Person becomes a Subsidiary of the Borrower but before the Person becomes a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Person must become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty within five Business Days after the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default;

	(3)		in all other cases, the Person (and all other Subsidiaries of the Borrower, excluding Foreign Subsidiaries, who are not parties to the Subsidiary Guaranty) must become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty upon the earlier to occur of:

(A)

when the aggregate amount of consideration paid (including, without limitation, Indebtedness assumed or guaranteed and the value of any stock or other securities issued) by the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries for the

			Person – and for any other Persons (excluding Foreign Subsidiaries) who have become Subsidiaries of the Borrower since the Closing Date and who have not become parties to the Subsidiary Guaranty – exceeds the Threshold Amount; or

	(B)		when the book value of the assets of such Person, and those of any other Persons (excluding Foreign Subsidiaries) who have become Subsidiaries of the Borrower since the Closing Date and who have not become parties to the Subsidiary Guaranty, exceeds the Threshold Amount.

The parties agree that the Borrower, or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, may, after the Closing Date, create a Subsidiary and transfer assets to such Subsidiary (to the extent such asset transfer is permitted under Section 6.10(e) hereof), and that such Subsidiary need not become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty until such time as provided in this Section 6.9(b).

For purposes hereof, “Threshold Amount” means initially, the lesser of (i) 5% of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006, or (ii) 5% of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the last day of any fiscal quarter thereafter. If the aggregate amount of consideration paid by the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries for any Subsidiaries of the Borrower created or acquired after the Closing Date exceeds the then-existing Threshold Amount – or if the book value of the assets of all Persons referred to in subparagraph (B) immediately above who become Subsidiaries of the Borrower after the Closing Date exceeds the then-existing Threshold Amount – and the Borrower causes all such Subsidiaries to become parties to the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Threshold Amount shall be reset to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently-ended fiscal quarter, or (ii) 5% of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the last day of any fiscal quarter thereafter.

Contemporaneously with a Subsidiary becoming a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to furnish such certificates and other documentation as the Administrative Agent may require, including, without limitation, favorable opinions of counsel to such Subsidiary (which opinions shall cover, among other things, the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documentation necessary to cause such Subsidiary to become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty).

6.10. Mergers, Acquisitions, Sale of Assets, Etc. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, consolidate or merge with any other Person, or sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its business or assets to any other Person, or be a party to any Acquisition of any other Person or all or substantially all of such Person’s assets, other than:

	(a)		sales of inventory, licensing of intellectual property and leasing of real estate in the ordinary course of its business and consistent with its past practices;

	(b)		the disposition of obsolete or worn-out fixed assets, plant, equipment or other property no longer required by or useful to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the operation of its business;

	(c)		sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of assets for cash consideration at the time of such disposition, but only so long as the aggregate fair market value of the assets so disposed during any fiscal year does not exceed 5% of Consolidated Total Assets;

(d)

any Acquisition (including, without limitation, the formation of any Subsidiary in connection with such Acquisition) provided that:

	(1)		no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result at any time if the Acquisition were to be consummated,

	(2)		if the aggregate amount of cash and all other consideration (including, without limitation, assumed or Guaranteed Indebtedness) payable at any time in respect of such Acquisition exceeds 5% of Consolidated Total Assets, the target must be in, or the assets of the target subject to the Acquisition must be employed in, the line of business in which the Borrower is presently engaged or in a line of business which is related thereto,

	(3)		at the time of the consummation of such Acquisition, the aggregate amount of cash and all other consideration (including, without limitation, assumed or Guaranteed Indebtedness, but excluding equity securities of the Borrower) payable at any time in respect of such Acquisition and any other Acquisitions consummated during such fiscal quarter or any of the three previous fiscal quarters does not exceed 5% of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (as reflected in the most recent financial statements of such Persons delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof),

	(4)		if the aggregate amount of cash and all other consideration (including, without limitation, assumed or Guaranteed Indebtedness) payable at any time in respect of such Acquisition exceeds 5% of Consolidated Total Assets, then not less than 10 Business Days prior to consummation of the Acquisition, the Borrower provides to the Administrative Agent and the Banks pro forma financial statements which give effect to the Acquisition and which demonstrate, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination, the Borrower’s continued compliance with the financial and other covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other documents and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request before such Acquisition, and

	(5)		in the case of a merger, consolidation or similar equity transaction, either (A) the Borrower or one of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries is the survivor, or (B) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower is merged or consolidated into another Person, with the other Person being the surviving entity, provided that (i) substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of the Acquisition, the Other Person becomes a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower, and (ii) if the Wholly-Owned Subsidiary being merged or consolidated is a Guarantor Subsidiary, the Borrower causes the other Person, within five Business Days after the merger or consolidation, to become a party to the Subsidiary Guaranty (even if, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.9(b) hereof, the other Person is a Foreign Subsidiary) and to comply with the other provisions of Section 6.9(b) hereof applicable to any Person who becomes a Subsidiary; or

(e)

any transfer of assets (1) by any Guarantor Subsidiary to the Borrower, or (2) by the Borrower to any Guarantor Subsidiary or by any Guarantor Subsidiary to any other Guarantor Subsidiary, (3) by the Borrower or any Guarantor Subsidiary to any Foreign Subsidiary, insofar as such transfer constitutes an Investment which is permitted under Section 6.13(f)(5) hereof, or (4) by the Borrower or any Guarantor Subsidiary to any Subsidiary of the Borrower (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) formed after the Closing Date and who is not then in default of its obligation to become a Guarantor Subsidiary pursuant to Section 6.9(b) hereof, provided that, in the case of a transfer to a Guarantor Subsidiary or any such newly-formed Subsidiary, (A) no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, and (B) if the transfer of assets would cause the aggregate amount of all assets transferred to any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries (and/or to any such newly-formed Subsidiaries) during such fiscal quarter to exceed 5% of Consolidated Total Assets, the Borrower gives the Administrative Agent written notice of the nature and specifics of such transfer (and all prior transfers during such fiscal quarter) not more than five Business Days after the date of such transfer.

6.11. Dividends and Distributions. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, declare or pay, directly or indirectly, any dividend or make any other distribution (by reduction of capital or otherwise), whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise, with respect to any shares of its capital stock or directly or indirectly redeem, purchase, retire or otherwise acquire for value any shares of any class of its capital stock or set aside any amount for any such purpose (the foregoing transactions being collectively called “Restricted Payments”); provided, however, that (a) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may declare and pay dividends payable solely in shares of its common stock, (b) any Subsidiary of the Borrower may make Restricted Payments to the Borrower or to any Guarantor Subsidiary, and (c) during any fiscal quarter, the Borrower may declare and pay cash dividends, and/or redeem, purchase, retire or otherwise acquire for value any shares of any class of its capital stock or set aside any amount for any such purpose (collectively “Permitted Payments”), in each case if (1) no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, and (2) the aggregate amount of Permitted Payments made during such fiscal quarter, together with the aggregate amount of Permitted Payments made during the preceding three fiscal quarters, does not exceed the lesser of:

	(a)		the greater of (i) $40,000,000 or (ii) 50% of Consolidated Net Income for the four fiscal quarters most recently ended (and for which financial statements have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Banks pursuant to Section 6.1), or

	(b)		100% of Consolidated Net Income for the four fiscal quarters most recently ended (and for which financial statements have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Banks pursuant to Section 6.1)..

6.12. Sale and Lease-Back Transactions. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any arrangement, directly or indirectly, with any Person (other than the Borrower or one of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, to the extent permitted under Section 6.10(d)) whereby it shall sell or transfer any property, real or personal, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and thereafter rent or lease such property or other property which it intends to use for substantially the same purpose or purposes as the property being sold or transferred (a “Sale and Lease-Back Transaction”); provided, however, that the Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries may enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction if (a) no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, and (b) the aggregate amount of property sold or transferred pursuant to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction and all prior Sale and Lease-Back Transactions since the Closing Date does not exceed 5% of Consolidated Total Assets.

SECTION 8. THE AGENT

8.1. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Documentation Agent (each an “Agent” and, collectively, the “Agents”) to act as its agents hereunder and under the other Credit Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Documentation Agent, as the case may be, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 8.5 hereof shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Credit Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for any Bank; (b) shall not be responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any of the other documents in any

certificate or any of the other Credit Documents or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any of the other Documents, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Credit Documents or for any failure by the Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition precedent specified in Section 4 hereof; (c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder; and (d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent shall be conclusively entitled to assume that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 hereof have been satisfied unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Bank referring to the relevant Section and stating that the relevant condition has not been satisfied or unless the certificate furnished by the Borrower pursuant thereto so indicates. Each Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

8.2. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely on any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and on advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents, each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder (as the case may be) in accordance with instructions signed by the Majority Banks, and such instructions of the Majority Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks. If the Administrative Agent shall seek the consent or approval of the Majority Banks to the taking or refraining from taking of any action hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to each Bank and as soon as practicable notify each Bank at any time that the Majority Banks have instructed the Administrative Agent to act or refrain from acting hereunder or thereunder (as the case may be).

8.3. Defaults. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans) unless such Agent has received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank prompt notice of each such nonpayment). The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Majority Banks, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking such action with respect to such default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks.

8.4. Rights as a Bank. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, U.S. Bank N.A. (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent), in its capacity as a Bank hereunder, and LaSalle Bank National Association, in its capacity as a Bank hereunder, shall each have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as an Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and the Documentation Agent in its individual capacity. Each Agent, its permitted successors and its Affiliates may, without having to account therefor to any Bank, accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower and any of its Affiliates as if it were not acting as an Agent, and each Agent and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower and its Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or

otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks, except for any fees stated herein to be for the account of any of the Banks.

8.5. Indemnification. Each Bank severally, to the extent of its Pro-Rata Share, indemnifies each Agent (to the extent such Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrower) for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and/or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it and/or any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, contractors or other representatives in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs, expenses and other amounts which the Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 9.3 hereof), any action or omission taken by such Agent or any of the other indemnified parties referred to above, and/or the enforcement of any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; provided; however, that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of any of the foregoing resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Agent or any of the other indemnified parties referred to above.

8.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and other Banks. Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance on any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. No Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Person of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in respect of the properties or books of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower (or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates) which may come into its possession or into the possession of any of its Affiliates.

8.7. Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any of the Credit Documents, each Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or thereunder (as the case may be) unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

8.8. Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Banks. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Banks’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance or 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 hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8.8 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1. Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Bank to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein and in the other Credit Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

9.3. Expenses, Indemnification, Etc. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Lead Arranger on demand for their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to such Persons), in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the making of the Loans hereunder, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Lead Arranger, the Documentation Agent and the Banks for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Persons (including reasonable counsels’ fees and expenses) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and any of the other Credit Documents, and all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any Governmental Authority in respect of this Agreement, any of the Notes, or any of the other Credit Documents (except for any such tax imposed on or measured by the income of such Person), and (c) to pay filing and recording fees relating to any taxes and other charges incurred in connection with, perfecting, maintaining and protecting, any Liens created or contemplated to be created pursuant to any Credit Documents at any time. The Borrower hereby indemnifies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lead Arranger, the Documentation Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Banks and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates (each of which is sometimes referred to in this subsection as an “Indemnified Party”) and agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless against, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions or other proceedings commenced or threatened in respect thereof, and all reasonable expenses (including but not limited to expenses that appear on any service charge schedule maintained from time to time by the Administrative Agent or any Bank) that arise out of or in any way relate to or result from the making of Loans hereunder or the other transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, any investigation or litigation or other proceedings (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to any action or proceeding out of which any of the foregoing arise), other than any of the foregoing to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or in any action in which the Borrower is the prevailing party against such Indemnified Party. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender, the Lead Arranger, the Documentation Agent nor any Bank nor any other Indemnified Party shall be responsible or liable to the Borrower for any consequential damages which may be alleged.

9.4 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents, or any provision hereof or thereof may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Majority Banks, and any provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents may be waived by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Banks; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or waiver shall be effective, without first obtaining the written consent of all Banks, that (a) extends the due date of any principal or interest payment in respect of the Loans or the due date of any payment in respect of the Shared Fees; (b) changes the amount or duration of any Bank’s Commitment, (c) changes the interest rate (including the method of calculating interest) under the Loans or the amount of or the method of computing any of the Shared Fees, (d) releases the Borrower or any Guarantor Subsidiary, in whole or in part, from any obligation under the Credit Documents to pay (or to guaranty the payment of) any principal or interest under the Loans or to pay (or to guaranty the payment of) the Shared Fees, (e) amends the terms of or waives the Borrower’s obligation to comply with any financial covenants contained in this Agreement (such covenants being contained in Sections 6.5 through 6.8 on the Closing Date), or (f) changes the definition of “Majority Banks” or amends the terms of this Section 9.4, or that otherwise has the effect of impairing any of the consent requirements contained in this Section 9.4 or in any other provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents where the consent of all the Banks or the Majority Banks is required in connection with any matter.

The Banks may assign all or any part of the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents to another financial institution; provided, however, that (1) no such assignment shall be effective unless the Administrative Agent first consents thereto, which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent, (2) the amount of the Commitment being assigned shall equal at least $5,000,000, (3) the assignor and assignee Bank shall sign and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, and (4) the assignor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account and not for the pro-rata benefit of the Banks, an assignment fee of $3,500. Upon such assignment and the Administrative Agent’s consent thereto, (a) the assignee Bank shall succeed to the obligations, rights and benefits of the assignor Bank to the extent provided in such assignment, and the assignor Bank shall be released to the extent of such assignment, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to issue and distribute to all parties to the Credit Agreement a new Exhibit A to this Agreement, reflecting such assignment, which Exhibit A, absent manifest error, shall thereupon supersede and replace the preceding Exhibit A and shall be binding on the parties to the Credit Agreement in the same manner as the original Exhibit A to the Credit Agreement without the consent of or further action by and Person, including, without limitation, the Borrower, the Banks, the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Swingline Lender and any other parties to the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Borrower expressly recognizes and agrees that the Banks may sell to other financial institutions participations in the Loans and other credit extensions incurred by the Borrower pursuant hereto, provided, however, that no Bank shall sell or otherwise transfer any participation interest in any Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or any other rights or interests under any of the Credit Documents to any other Person (other than one or more Affiliates of such Bank) without first obtaining the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the Administrative Agent’s sole and

absolute discretion and, provided, further, that no such sale or transfer (even if to an Affiliate) shall relieve such Bank from any of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(c) The Banks may furnish, from time to time, any information concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants).

9.7. Survival. All indemnification and reimbursement obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.3, 3.7 and 9.3 hereof, shall survive the repayment of the Loans and termination of the Commitments. Similarly, all indemnification and reimbursement obligations of the Banks to the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, all obligations of the Banks under Section 8.5, shall survive the repayment of the Loans and termination of the Commitments. Likewise, the obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Banks under Section 9.18 hereof shall survive the repayment of the Loans and termination of the Commitments.

9.8. Captions. Captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

9.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

9.10. Survival of Agreements. All agreements, covenants, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes, the other Credit Documents, the making of the Loans, and any and all renewals, extensions, modifications and rearrangements thereof.

9.11 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with applicable usury laws; accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes, the Reimbursement Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents, in no event shall any such agreement or instrument, require the payment or permit the collection of interest, as defined under applicable usury laws, in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such laws. If any such excess of interest is contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement, the Notes, the Reimbursement Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents, or if the maturity of the Loans is accelerated in whole or in part, or in the event that all or part of the principal of or interest on the Loans shall be prepaid, so that under any of such circumstances the amount of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement, the Notes, the Reimbursement Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents, on the amount of principal actually outstanding from time to time under the Notes shall exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable usury laws, then in any such event (1) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control, (2) neither the Borrower nor any other Person now or hereafter liable under this Agreement or the Credit Documents for the payment of all or any part of the Loans shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted to be contracted for by, charged to or received from the Person obligated thereon under applicable usury laws, (3) any such excess which may have been collected either shall be applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal amount of such Loans or refunded to the Person paying the same, at the Borrower’s option, and (4) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate of interest permitted under applicable usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction thereof. It is further agreed that, without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement, the Notes, the Reimbursement Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the maximum lawful rate of interest shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable usury laws, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during

the period of the full stated term of the Loans, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Borrower, or otherwise by any Bank in connection with the Notes, this Agreement, the Reimbursement Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents.

9.12. Integration; Severability. This Agreement, together with all the other Credit Documents, represents the entire agreement of the parties thereto, and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations and understandings, both written and oral. There are no contemporaneous oral agreements or understandings of the parties hereto or to the other Credit Documents. No course of dealing between the parties, no course of performance, no usage of trade, and no parol evidence of any nature shall be used to supplement or modify any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents shall be held illegal or invalid by any court having jurisdiction, the illegality or invalidity of such provision shall not affect any of the other provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents. The illegal or invalid provision shall be modified to the maximum extent possible to confer on the Administrative Agent or the Banks the rights, powers, remedies or other privileges intended thereby, and such provision as modified, together with the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, shall be construed and enforced to such effect as if the illegal or invalid provision or portion thereof had not been contained herein or in any of the other Credit Documents, to the maximum extent possible.

9.13. Mo. Rev. Stat. Section 432.047 Statement. The following statement is given pursuant to Mo. Rev. Stat. Section 432.047: NO ORAL AGREEMENTS; FINAL WRITTEN AGREEMENT. ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT, OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UPON WHICH IT IS BASED THAT IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. TO PROTECT YOU (THE BORROWER) AND US (THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE DOCUMENTATION AGENT, THE LEAD ARRANGER, THE SWINGLINE LENDER, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE BANKS) FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS WE REACH COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH, TOGETHER WITH ALL OTHER WRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN US, IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, EXCEPT AS WE MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO MODIFY IT.

9.14. Controlling Document. In the event of actual conflict in the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents, the terms and provisions of this Agreement will control.

9.15. JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY MISSOURI STATE COURT SITTING IN XXXXXXX OR CLAY COUNTY, MISSOURI , OR ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN XXXXXXX COUNTY, MISSOURI, OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH MISSOURI STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. AS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO SERVICE, THE BORROWER ALSO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES OF SUCH PROCESS TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH BENEATH ITS SIGNATURE HERETO. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

THE BORROWER FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE IN MISSOURI AND ANY OBJECTION TO ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN MISSOURI ON THE BASIS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 9.15 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE DOCUMENTATION AGENT, THE LEAD ARRANGER, THE ISSUING BANK, THE SWINGLINE LENDER OR ANY BANK TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT, OR ANY BANK TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

9.16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MISSOURI, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

9.17. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE BORROWER WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, LAWSUIT, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

9.18. Confidentiality and Nondisclosure. In connection with the negotiations for and administration of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and the Banks have acquired, and may continue to acquire, information concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Protected Parties”) which is either non-public, confidential or proprietary in nature. The Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each of the Banks severally agrees to treat confidentially such information and any other information that any of the Protected Parties, or their agents, directors, officers, employees or other representatives, including attorneys, accountants and consultants, furnish to it, or which it may obtain from any of the foregoing persons, including any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by the Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender or any Bank or any of their respective directors, employees, agents or other representatives, including attorneys, accountants and consultants (collectively, the “Representatives”), which contain or otherwise reflect such information, whether furnished before or after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Information”). The Administrative Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank, the Swingline Lender and each of the Banks severally agrees not to use any of the Information for any purpose other than for the purpose of evaluating, documenting and administering this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and for enforcing or exercising any rights or remedies in connection herewith or therewith.
