(d) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Term Loans (including Principal Increases) may be prepaid in full, but not in part, so long as contemporaneously with such prepayment, all outstanding Revolving Credit Agreement Debt is fully paid, all outstanding letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Agreement are cash collateralized to the reasonable satisfaction of the Revolving Credit Agent and all commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement are terminated. Any such prepayment of the Term Loans shall be accompanied by (i) interest thereon to the date of prepayment and (ii) a premium (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty and in addition to all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid on the date of prepayment) equal to the amount of such prepayment multiplied by one percent (1%).

(e) In addition to the mandatory or voluntary prepayments described in Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(b) and 2.3(d), and to the extent permitted by Section 7.11(f) of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice given to the Agent before 12:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given, the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans (including Principal Increases) in whole or ratably in part; provided, however, that (i) each such partial prepayment shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) each such prepayment (whether full or partial) shall be accompanied by (A) interest thereon to the date of prepayment and (B) the premium, if any, required under the terms of Section 2.3(f) below.

(f) All prepayments of the Term Loans (other than prepayments described in Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(b) and 2.3(d) above) prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date shall be subject to an additional premium (to be paid to the Lenders pro rata as liquidated damages and compensation, and not as a penalty, for the costs of being prepared to make funds available hereunder with respect to the Term Loans) equal to the amount of such prepayment multiplied by (i) three percent (3%), with respect to prepayments made prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) two percent (2%), with respect to prepayments made on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) one percent (1%), with respect to prepayments made on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, but prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date.  On or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, no premiums shall be payable pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) in connection with any prepayments of the Term Loans.

2.4. Term Notes; Scheduled Payments.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 hereof relating to replacement and substitution of the Term Notes, the Term Loan made by a Lender shall be evidenced by a single Term Note dated as of the Closing Date, delivered and payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment as of the Closing Date.

(b) If not earlier prepaid in full, and to the extent permitted by Section 7.11(f) of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the aggregate principal balance of the Term Loans, as evidenced by the Term Notes, shall be due and payable in quarterly installments of $107,500, each due on each Payment Date, commencing on December 31, 2010.  To the extent not previously paid, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans (including all Principal Increases) shall be finally due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(c) Subject to Section 10.6 hereof, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay the accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loans (including all Principal Increases) on the Payment Dates, commencing with the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.  After the Term Loan Maturity Date, accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans shall be payable on demand.

2.5. Application of Payments and Prepayments.

(a) Prepayments on the Term Loans, including without limitation, prepayments in accordance with Sections 2.3 hereof, shall be applied to payment of the aggregate unpaid principal amounts of the Term Notes in inverse order of maturity, with the balance of any such prepayments, if any, being applied to accrued interest.  Payments of accrued interest on each Term Note in accordance with Section 2.4(c) hereof shall be applied to the aggregate accrued interest then outstanding under the Term Notes.  Payments of regularly scheduled installments of principal on each Term Note in accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof shall be applied to the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Notes in direct order of maturity, while payment by the Borrower of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Notes on the Term Loan Maturity Date shall be applied to principal.

(b) All payments remitted to the Agent, and, absent the existence of an Event of Default, all such payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Term Loans, or not constituting payment of specific fees or other specific Obligations, and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent hereunder; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from any Credit Party; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Term Loans; fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Term Loans; and fifth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Agent or any Lender.

(c) Each payment or prepayment received by the Agent hereunder or under any Term Note for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds.

(d) All sums payable by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder or pursuant to the Term Notes or any of the other Loan Documents for its own account or the account of the Lenders shall be payable in United States dollars in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date such payment or prepayment is due and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.  Any such payment or prepayment received and accepted by the Agent after 12:00 noon shall be considered for all purposes (including the payment of interest, to the extent permitted by law) as having been made on the next succeeding Business Day.  All such payments or prepayments shall be made at the Principal Office.  If any payment or prepayment becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, then the date for the payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable thereon at the then applicable rate per annum during such extension.

2.6. Interest Rates for Term Loans; Cash Interest and Principal Increases.

(a) Subject to Section 10.6 hereof, interest on the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans shall accrue at the rate of 14.25% per annum and be payable as follows: (i) 12.25% per annum on the Term Loan (the “Cash Interest Rate”) shall be paid in cash in arrears on each Payment Date; and (ii) 2.0% per annum shall be added automatically to the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans on each Payment Date (each such addition, a “Principal Increase”); provided, that (1) all principal outstanding, whether then due and payable, after the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been cured to the satisfaction of the Agent and the Required Lenders or waived in writing by the Agent and the Required Lenders shall bear interest at the Default Rate, which shall be due and payable upon demand, and (2) past due principal and interest shall bear interest at the Default Rate, which shall be payable on demand. Principal Increases shall be considered principal on the Term Loans for all purposes, including, without limitation, calculation of interest on subsequent Payment Dates.

(b) All interest and fees will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable, unless the effect of so computing shall be to cause the rate of interest to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

2.7. Pro-Rata Treatment.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:  (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1 hereof shall be made pro-rata, according to each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage as applicable; and (b) each payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal of or interest on Term Loans shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders pro-rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Term Loans held by the Lenders.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the Closing Date that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Term Loans on the Closing Date available to the Agent at the Principal Office, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent on such date, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, but shall not be obligated to, make such amount available to the Borrower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in a deposit account designated and maintained by the Borrower with JPMorgan.  Any Lender failing to timely deliver its requisite portion of the Term Loans shall deliver the same to the Agent as soon as possible thereafter, together with interest on such amount for each day from the due date for such payment to the date of payment by such Lender to the Agent of such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such period.  In addition, the Borrower hereby agrees that upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any such amount which any Lender has failed to timely deliver to the Agent, but which the Agent may have previously made available to the Borrower in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.7(b).

2.8. Sharing of Payments, Etc.  Each of the Credit Parties agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, bankers’ lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances held by it for the account of any of the Credit Parties at any of its offices against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Term Loans to the Borrower hereunder, or any other Obligation of the Borrower hereunder (regardless of whether such Obligations of the Borrower are then due and regardless of whether such offset balances are then due to the Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent thereof, provided, that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.  If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Term Loan made by it under this Agreement, or other obligation then due to such Lender hereunder, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including, without limitation, any right of set-off or lien granted under Section 10.19 hereof), banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right, or otherwise, it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in the Term Loans made by, or the other obligations of the Borrower hereunder of, the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro-rata in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages.  To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  Each of the Credit Parties agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made by or other obligations hereunder of, the other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of said Loans or other obligations in the amount of such participation.  Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

2.9. Recapture.  If on any Payment Date the Agent does not receive for the account of one or more Lenders payment in full of interest computed at the Total Interest Rate (computed without regard to any limitation by the Highest Lawful Rate), because the Total Interest Rate exceeds or has exceeded the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender(s), the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender(s), in addition to interest otherwise required, on each Payment Date thereafter, the Excess Interest Amount (calculated as of each such subsequent Payment Date); provided, that in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay, for any computation period, interest at a rate exceeding the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender(s) during such period.  As used herein, the term “Excess Interest Amount” shall mean, on any day, the amount by which (a) the amount of all interest which would have accrued prior to such day on the outstanding principal of the Term Notes of the applicable Lender (had the Total Interest Rate at all times been in effect without limitation by the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender(s)) exceeds (b) the aggregate amount of interest actually paid to the Agent for the account of such Lender(s) on their respective Term Notes on or prior to such day.

2.10. Original Issue Discount.  The Borrower and the Lenders agree (i) that the Term Loans evidenced by the Term Notes are debt for federal income tax purposes, (ii) that the Term Notes issued to each Lender constitute a single debt instrument for purposes of Sections 1271 through 1275 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(c)), (iii) that such debt instrument is and will be issued with an original issue discount (“OID”) based upon the actual funding and disbursement of ninety-eight percent (98%) of the face amount of each Term Note, and that such debt instrument is described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(c)(2) and therefore is governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(c), including Section 1.1272-1(c)(5), and is not governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, (iv) that any calculation by the Borrower regarding the amount of OID for any accrual period on the Term Notes shall be subject to review and reasonable approval of the Required Lenders, and (v) to adhere to this Agreement for federal income tax purposes and not to take any action or file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith.  The inclusion of this Section 2.10 is not an admission by any Purchaser that it is subject to United States taxation.

3. Collateral.

3.1. Security Documents.  The Term Loans and all other Obligations shall be secured by the Collateral described in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, and the Agent and the Lenders are entitled to the benefits thereof.  The Credit Parties shall duly execute and deliver the Security Documents, all consents of third parties necessary to permit the effective granting of the Liens created thereby, and other documents, all in Proper Form, as may be reasonably required by the Collateral Agent to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Lenders, a valid, perfected and enforceable Lien on and security interest in the Collateral (subject only to the Liens permitted under Section 7.2 hereof and with the requisite priority described in the Intercreditor Agreement as between the Lender and the Revolving Credit Lenders), including without limitation, any and all original stock certificates, stock transfer powers, assignments and other documents and instruments necessary or desirable under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction with regard to the Equity Interests covered by any Security Agreement.

3.2. Filing and Recording.  The Credit Parties shall, at their sole cost and expense, cooperate with the Collateral Agent in causing all financing statements, supplements to the existing Mortgages and other Security Documents pursuant to this Agreement to be duly recorded and/or filed or otherwise perfected in all places necessary to perfect the Liens of the Collateral Agent, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, and the Credit Parties shall take such other actions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Liens of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in the Collateral.  Each of the Credit Parties, to the extent permitted by law, hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file any financing statement or other Security Document in respect of any Lien created pursuant to the Security Documents which may at any time be required to perfect such Liens or which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, may at any time be desirable, although the same may have been executed only by the Collateral Agent or, at the option of the Collateral Agent, to sign such financing statement on behalf of any Credit Party, and file the same, and each of the Credit Parties hereby irrevocably designates the Collateral Agent, its agents, representatives and designees as its agent and attorney-in-fact for this purpose.  In the event that any re-recording or refiling thereof (or the filing of any statements of continuation or assignment of any financing statement) is required to protect and preserve such Lien, the Credit Parties shall, at the Credit Parties’ cost and expense, cause the same to be recorded and/or refiled at the time and in the manner requested by the Collateral Agent.

9.1. Appointment.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent    In any foreclosure proceeding concerning any collateral for the Term Notes, each holder of a Term Note if bidding for its own account or for its own account and the accounts of other Lenders is prohibited from including in the amount of its bid an amount to be applied as a credit against its Term Note or the Term Notes of the other Lenders, instead such holder must bid in cash only. However, in any such foreclosure proceeding, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) submit a bid for all Lenders (including itself) in the form of a credit against the Term Notes of all of the Lenders, and the Agent or its designee may (but shall not be obligated to), with the consent of the Required Lenders, accept title to such collateral for and on behalf of all Lenders.  The Lenders hereby empower, authorize and direct the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to execute and deliver this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, to the extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and any other Loan Document concerning the provisions of this Section 9, this Agreement shall govern and control.

9.2. Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3. Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Credit Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

9.4. Reliance.   The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent.  The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent.  The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Term Loans

9.5. Notice of Defaults.  The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Credit Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders

Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party (and any of its Affiliates) as though Agent were not Agent hereunder, and the Agent may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party (in addition to the fees heretofore agreed to between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Agent) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.  With respect to its Term Loan Commitments or the Term Loans, if any, made by it in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent in its individual capacity.

9.7. Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”)  (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and/or the other Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Term Loan Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Term Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Term Loan Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing (INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON); provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Term Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Credit Party or any affiliate of a Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

9.9. Failure to Act.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to advance its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise  of its rights under the Loan Documents and shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction by the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 9.7 hereof and by the Credit Parties of their indemnification obligations hereunder against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

9.10. Successor Agent.  The Agent may resign as Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Term Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Sections 10.9 and 10.10 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  No course of dealing between any Credit Party and the Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver of any right or power of the Agent or any Lender.  No notice to or demand on any Credit Party or any other Person shall entitle any Credit Party or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law

10.2. Notices.  Except as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, all notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed in each case to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof, or as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Agent in the case of any Lender not originally a signatory hereto, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto; provided, however, that with any such change in address of any Credit Party only being effective ten (10) Business Days after such change of address has been deemed given in accordance with the provisions hereof.  Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the applicable Lender.  The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

(ii)           consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

10.6. Limitation of Interest.  The Borrower, the other Credit Parties and the Lenders intend to strictly comply with all applicable laws, including applicable usury laws, if any.  Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 10.6 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section, even if such provision declares that it controls.  As used in this Section, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided, that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal or in unequal parts during the full term of the Term Loans and the Term Loan Commitments so that interest for the entire term does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  In no event shall the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person be obligated to pay, or the Agent or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (Y) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the laws of the United Stales or of any state, if any, which are applicable to the Agent or such Lender, respectively, or (Z) total interest in excess of the amount which the Agent or such Lender could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Term Loans at the Highest Lawful Rate, if any, applicable to the Agent or such Lender.  None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 10.6, or be construed to create a contract to pay any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of  money at an interest rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender.  If the term of any Term Loans or the Term Notes is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Default or Event of Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason the Agent or any Lender at any time is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Agent or such Lender, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest owed to or received by the Agent or such Lender shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to the Agent or such Lender, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of the Obligations to the Agent or such Lender, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

10.7. Survival of Certain Obligations.  The obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, as applicable, under Sections 10.9, 10.10 and 10.17 hereof shall survive the repayment of the Term Loans and all other Obligations, the termination of the Term Loan Commitments.

10.8. Captions.  The headings and captions appearing in the Loan Documents have been included solely for convenience and shall not be considered in construing the Loan Documents.

10.9. Expenses, Etc.

(iii)           Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 10.9, 10.10, 10.16 and 10.17).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.12 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

10.14. Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.15. Disclosures.  Every reference in the Loan Documents to disclosures of the Borrower or any other Credit Party to the Agent and the Lenders in writing, to the extent that such references refer to disclosures at or prior to the execution of this Agreement, shall be deemed strictly to refer only to written disclosures delivered to the Agent and the Lenders in an orderly manner prior to or concurrently with the execution hereof.

10.16. Requirements of Law.

(a)           If the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i)  shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Term Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 10.17 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii)  shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iii)    shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining its Term Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b)           If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Legal Requirement regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c)           A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 10.16 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five days after such Lender delivers such certificate.  In preparing such certificate, such Lender may employ such assumptions and allocations of costs and expenses as it shall in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable and may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.17. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document).  If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.  If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(f) If the Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 10.17 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

10.18. Waiver of Claims.  Each Credit Party hereby waives and releases the Agent and all Lenders from any and all claims or causes of action which the Borrower may own, hold or claim in respect of any of them as of the date hereof.

10.19. Right of Setoff.  The Lenders each are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Credit Party (any such notice being expressly waived by each Credit Party), to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, whether or not such setoff results in any loss of interest or other penalty, and including without limitation all certificates of deposit) at any time held, and any other funds or property at any time held, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by the Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any such Credit Party against any and all of the Obligations irrespective of whether or not any of the Obligations are then due and irrespective of whether or not Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement, the Term Notes or any other Loan Document.  Each Credit Party also hereby grants to Agent and to each of the Lenders a security interest in and hereby transfers, assigns, sets over, and conveys to the Agent and to each of the Lenders, as security for payment of all Obligations, all such deposits, funds or property of any such Credit Party or Indebtedness of the Agent or any Lender to any such Credit Party. Should the right of the Agent or any Lender to realize funds in any manner set forth hereinabove be challenged and any application of such funds be reversed, whether by court order or otherwise, the Lenders shall make restitution or refund to such Credit Party, pro rata in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages.  Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including without limitation other rights of setoff) which the Agent or the Lenders may have.  This Section is subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.8 hereof.

10.20. Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.  EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTIONS EVIDENCED THEREBY.
