EMCOR GROUP, INC.

TERM LOAN AGREEMENT

This Term Loan Agreement is entered into as of September 19, 2007, by and among EMCOR GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement, as Lenders, and BANK OF MONTREAL, a Canadian chartered bank acting through its Chicago branch, as Administrative Agent as provided herein. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms are defined in Section 5.1 hereof.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

The Borrower has requested, and the Lenders have agreed to extend, certain credit facilities on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


SECTION 1.	THE CREDIT FACILITIES.

Section 1.1. Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender, by its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to make a loan (individually a “Term Loan” and collectively for all the Lenders the “Term Loans”) in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment. The Term Loans shall be advanced in a single Borrowing on the Closing Date and shall be made ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Percentages, at which time the Commitments shall expire. As provided in Section 1.3(a) hereof, the Borrower may elect that the Term Loans be outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans. No amount repaid or prepaid on any Term Loan may be borrowed again.

Section 1.2. Minimum Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Eurodollar Loans. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than $100,000. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans continued or converted shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000. Without the Administrative Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than Eight (8) Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans outstanding hereunder at any one time.

Section 1.3. Manner of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Notice to the Administrative Agent. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing set forth in Section 1.2 hereof, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurodollar Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base

Rate Loans or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, on any Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower. The Borrower shall give all such notices requesting the continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans must be given by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested continuation or conversion of a Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be continued or converted, the type of Term Loans to comprise such continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. Upon notice to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, no Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be continued or created by conversion if any Default or Event of Default then exists. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.

(b) Notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice to each Lender of any notice from the Borrower received pursuant to Section 1.3(a) above and, if such notice requests the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable thereto promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.

(c) Borrower’s Failure to Notify. If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 1.3(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 1.3(a) and such Borrowing is not repaid, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into an equal Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.

(d) Disbursement of Loans. On the Closing Date, each Lender shall make available its Percentage of the Term Loan in funds immediately available at the principal office of the Administrative Agent in Chicago, Illinois (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate). The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Term Loan available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate), by depositing or wire transferring such proceeds to the credit of the Borrower’s Designated Disbursement Account or as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree.

-2-

(e) Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on) the date on which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of the Term Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Term Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related advance was made by the Administrative Agent to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Term Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section 2.2 hereof so that the Borrower will have no liability under such Section with respect to such payment.

Section 1.4. Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, the relevant Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans owing by it at a rate per annum equal to:


	(a) for any Base Rate Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect; and

	(b) for any Eurodollar Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such Event of Default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect.

provided, however, that in the absence of acceleration, any adjustments pursuant to this Section shall be made at the election of the Administrative Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, with written notice to the Borrower. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, interest shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

Section 1.5. Maturity of Loans. The Borrower shall make principal payments on the Term Loans in installments on the last day of each March, June, September, and December in

-3-

each year, commencing with the calendar quarter ending March 31, 2008, with the amount of each such principal installment to equal the amount set forth in Column B below shown opposite of the relevant due date as set forth in Column A below:


COLUMN A		COLUMN B

PAYMENT DATE		SCHEDULED PRINCIPAL PAYMENT ON TERM LOANS
03/31/08		$750,000
06/30/08		$750,000
09/30/08		$750,000
12/31/08		$750,000
03/31/09		$750,000
06/30/09		$750,000
09/30/09		$750,000
12/31/09		$750,000
03/31/10		$750,000
06/30/10		$750,000
09/30/10		$750,000

, it being agreed that a final payment comprised of all principal and interest not sooner paid on the Term Loans shall be due and payable on October 17, 2010, the final maturity thereof (the “Maturity Date”). Each such principal payment shall be applied to the Lenders holding the Term Loans pro rata based upon their Percentages.

Section 1.6. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

-4-

(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in the form of Exhibit A (a “Term Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Term Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 11.17) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 11.17, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

Section 1.7. Increase in Commitments. The Borrower may, on any Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, increase the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans by delivering a Commitment Amount Increase Request substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the desired effective date of such increase (the “Commitment Amount Increase”) identifying any additional Lender(s) (or additional Term Loans for existing Lender(s)) and the amount of its Term Loans (or additional amount of its Term Loans); provided, however, that (i) any increase shall be in an amount not less than $25,000,000 and in the aggregate for all such increases not greater than $150,000,000, (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the request or the effective date of the Commitment Amount Increase, (iii) all representations and warranties contained in Section 5 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects at the time of such request (except to the extent such representation or warranty is expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date) and on the effective date of such Commitment Amount Increase, (iv) prior to approaching new lenders, the Borrower shall offer to Lenders the option to increase their respective outstanding Term Loans, (v) after giving effect to the increase in outstanding Term Loans, the Borrower is in compliance with Sections 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8 hereof, on a pro forma basis, and (vi) the Administrative Agent shall consent in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to any increase pursuant to this Section 1.6. The effective date of the Commitment Amount Increase shall be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness thereof, the new Lender(s) (or, if applicable, existing Lender(s)) shall advance Loans in an amount sufficient such that after giving effect to its advance each Lender shall have outstanding its applicable Percentage of Loans. It shall be a condition to such effectiveness that if any Eurodollar Loans are outstanding on the date of such effectiveness, such Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be prepaid on such date and the Borrower shall pay any amounts owing to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof. The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Commitment Amount Increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to advance additional Term Loans, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to advance additional Term Loans. Any additional Term Loan advanced under this Section 1.7 shall be “Term Loans” for all purposes of this Agreement.

-5-


SECTION 2.	INTEREST.

Section 2.1. Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced, or created by conversion from a Eurodollar Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

“Base Rate” means for any day the greater of: (i) the rate of interest announced or otherwise established by the Administrative Agent from time to time as its prime commercial rate, or its equivalent, for U.S. Dollar loans to borrowers located in the United States as in effect on such day, with any change in the Base Rate resulting from a change in said prime commercial rate to be effective as of the date of the relevant change in said prime commercial rate (it being acknowledged and agreed that such rate may not be the Administrative Agent’s best or lowest rate) and (ii) the sum of (x) the rate determined by the Administrative Agent to be the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the rates per annum quoted to the Administrative Agent at approximately 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (or as soon thereafter as is practicable) on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) by two or more Federal funds brokers selected by the Administrative Agent for sale to the Administrative Agent at face value of Federal funds in the secondary market in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount for which such rate is being determined, plus (y) 1/2 of 1%.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR applicable for such Interest Period, payable by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

“Adjusted LIBOR” means, for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, a rate per annum determined in accordance with the following formula:

“Eurodollar Reserve Percentage” means, for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the daily average for the applicable Interest Period of the maximum rate, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves (including, without limitation, any supplemental, marginal, and emergency reserves) are imposed during such Interest Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) on “eurocurrency liabilities”, as defined in such Board’s Regulation D (or in respect of any other category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of

-6-

credit or other assets that include loans by non-United States offices of any Lender to United States residents), subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto. For purposes of this definition, the Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be “eurocurrency liabilities” as defined in Regulation D without benefit or credit for any prorations, exemptions or offsets under Regulation D.

“LIBOR” means, for an Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, (a) the LIBOR Index Rate for such Interest Period, if such rate is available, and (b) if the LIBOR Index Rate cannot be determined, the arithmetic average of the rates of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) at which deposits in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds are offered to the Administrative Agent at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) two (2) Business Days before the beginning of such Interest Period by three (3) or more major banks in the interbank eurodollar market selected by the Administrative Agent for delivery on the first day of and for a period equal to such Interest Period and in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loan scheduled to be made as part of such Borrowing.

“LIBOR Index Rate” means, for any Interest Period, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period equal to such Interest Period, which appears on the LIBOR01 Page as of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on the day 2 Business Days before the commencement of such Interest Period.

“LIBOR01 Page” means the display designated as “Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page” (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 Page on that service or such other service as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rates for U.S. Dollar deposits).

(c) Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error.

Section 2.2. Funding Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss of profit, and any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of:


	(i) any payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period for any reason,

	(ii) any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Borrowing or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or refund a Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to this Agreement,

-7-


	(iii) any failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Eurodollar Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), or

	(iv) any acceleration of the maturity of a Eurodollar Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder,

then, upon the demand of such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be deemed prima facie correct.

Section 2.3. Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if at any time any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain Loans in Eurodollar Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under this Agreement shall terminate until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Loans. The Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected Loans from such Lender by means of Base Rate Loans which Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender.

Section 2.4. Unavailability. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans:


	(a) the Administrative Agent determines that deposits in U.S. Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to it in the eurocurrency interbank market for such Interest Period, or that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurocurrency market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR, or

	(b) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that (i) LIBOR as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period or (ii) that the making or funding of Eurodollar Loans has become impracticable,

then and in any such event the Administrative Agent shall not less than two days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended.

-8-

Section 2.5. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its lending office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:


	(i) shall subject any Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any of its Eurodollar Loans, its Term Notes, or its obligation to make Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender (or its applicable lending office) of the principal of or interest on any of its Eurodollar Loans, or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its lending office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office or applicable lending office is located); or

	(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any such requirement included in an applicable Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its applicable lending office) or shall impose on any Lender (or its lending office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Loans, its Term Notes or any of its obligation to make Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its lending office) of making or maintaining any Term Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) under this Agreement or under its Term Notes with respect thereto, by an amount in each case deemed by such Lender, in its reasonable judgment, to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

Each Lender that determines to seek compensation under this Section 2.5 shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle the Lender to such compensation pursuant to this Section 2.5 and will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.5 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be deemed prima facie correct. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 2.6. Lending Offices. Each Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof

-9-

(each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Term Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (but such funds shall in any event be made available to the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent as herein provided for), provided that the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse any Lender under any of the provisions of this Section 2 for any cost which such Lender would not have incurred but for changing its lending or funding branch unless the Borrower consented in writing to such change.

Section 2.7. Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Term Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations under this Agreement shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market having a maturity corresponding to such Eurodollar Loan’s Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to Adjusted LIBOR for the currency in question for such Interest Period.

Section 2.8. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall determine that any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy instituted after the date hereof, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by such Lender (or its lending office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or credit extended by it hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such law, rule, regulation, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time as specified by such Lender the Borrower shall pay on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.8 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder in reasonable detail shall be prima facie evidence thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 2.9. Substitution of Lenders. In the event (a) the Borrower receives a claim from any Lender for compensation under Section 2.5 or 11.1 hereof, (b) the Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, (c) any Lender is in default in any material respect with respect to its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (d) a Lender fails to consent to an amendment or waiver requested under Section 11.4 hereof at a time when the Required Lenders have approved such amendment or waiver (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b), (c), or (d) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have hereunder or under applicable law, require, at its expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments and the Loans and other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder and the other Loan

-10-

Documents) to an Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower, provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Affected Lender all monies (together with amounts due such Affected Lender under Section 2.2 hereof as if the Loans owing to it were prepaid rather than assigned) other than such principal owing to it hereunder, and (iii) the assignment is entered into in accordance with, and subject to the consents required by, Section 11.17 hereof (provided any assignment fees and reimbursable expenses due thereunder shall be paid by the Borrower).


SECTION 3.	FEES, PAYMENTS, REDUCTIONS AND NOTATIONS.

Section 3.1. Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for itself and the benefit of the Lenders, the fees as set forth in that certain fee letter dated August 15, 2007, between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.2. Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.2 above) and in whole or in part (but, if in part, then: (i) in an amount not less than $1,000,000, or such lesser amount as may then be outstanding, and (ii) in each case, in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof remains outstanding) any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans at any time upon three (3) Business Days prior notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date of prepayment, such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Eurodollar Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus any amounts due the Lenders under Section 2.2 hereof.

Section 3.3. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Asset Dispositions. (i) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time or from time to time make or agree to make a Disposition or shall suffer an Event of Loss resulting in Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 individually or on a cumulative basis in any fiscal year of the Borrower, to the extent the aggregate amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds received by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries during the period from and including the date hereof to and including the date of such Disposition or Event of Loss exceed 10% of the book value of assets of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date, then (x) the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds to be received by the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (y) such Net Cash Proceeds shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss for application as set forth herein. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, immediately upon receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Administrative Agent shall apply such Net Cash Proceeds to the payment of all Obligations; provided that in the case of each Disposition and Event of Loss so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing, if the Borrower states in its notice of such event that the applicable Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary intends to reinvest, within 180 days of the

-11-

applicable Disposition or receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from an Event of Loss, the Net Cash Proceeds thereof in assets similar to the assets which were subject to such Disposition or Event of Loss, then the Administrative Agent shall deposit such Net Cash Proceeds in an account held by the Administrative Agent or one or more of its Affiliates and the Commitments shall not so terminate under this Section to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are actually reinvested in such similar assets within such 180-day period. Concurrently with any such reinvestment, the Administrative Agent shall return the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds to be reinvested to the Borrower. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, promptly after the end of such 180-day period, in the event that the applicable Borrower or Restricted Subsidiary has not reinvested any of such Net Cash Proceeds in such similar assets, the Commitments shall immediately terminate in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds and the Administrative Agent shall promptly apply such Net Cash Proceeds to the payment of all Obligations, until paid in full, and release the balance thereof to the Borrower.

(b) Equity Issuances. If after the Closing Date the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall issue new equity securities (whether common preferred stock, or convertible debt permitted by Section 7.10(p) hereof or otherwise), other than equity securities issued in connection with the exercise of employee stock options and capital stock of the Borrower issued to the seller of an Acquired Business in connection with an Acquisition permitted hereby, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance to be received by or for the account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect thereof. Promptly upon receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds. The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied to the outstanding Term Loans until paid in full. The Borrower acknowledges that its performance hereunder shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Lenders for any breach of Section 7.15 (Maintenance of Subsidiaries) or Section 8.1(j) (Change in Control) hereof or any other terms of the Loan Documents.

(c) Debt Issuances. If after the Closing Date the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall issue any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money, other than Indebtedness for Borrowed Money permitted by 7.10 hereof (other than Indebtedness for Borrowed Money permitted by Section 7.10(p)), the Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance to be received by or for the account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary in respect thereof. Promptly upon receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds. The amount of each such prepayment shall be applied to the outstanding Term Loans until paid in full. The Borrower acknowledges that its performance hereunder shall not limit the rights and remedies of the Lenders for any breach of Section 7.10 hereof or any other terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 3.4. Place and Application. All payments of principal, interest and fees shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its office at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx (or at such other place as the Administrative Agent may specify) in immediately available and freely transferable funds at the place of payment by no later than 12:00 Noon Central Time on the due date thereof. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be

-12-

deemed received as of the opening of business on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds at the place of payment. All such payments shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and without reduction for, and free from, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, charges, deductions, withholdings, restrictions or conditions of any nature imposed by any government or political subdivision or taxing authority thereof. Except as herein provided, all payments shall be received for the ratable account of the Lenders and shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages on the date the Administrative Agent receives payment, or if the Administrative Agent receives payment later than 12:00 Noon Central Time, then no later than the next Business Day. Unless the Borrower otherwise requests, each prepayment shall be first applied to the Borrower’s Base Rate Loans and then to its Eurodollar Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. Each partial prepayment pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 shall be applied to the remaining amortization payments in the reverse order of maturity. Any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans shall be accompanied by any amount due the Lenders under Section 2.2 hereof but acceptance of any such prepayment without such a payment being made shall not preclude a later demand by the Lenders for such payment.

Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, all payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral received, in each instance, by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders after the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent and distributed as follows:

(a) first, to the payment of any outstanding costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in monitoring, verifying, protecting, preserving or enforcing the Liens on the Collateral or by the Administrative Agent in protecting, preserving or enforcing rights under the Loan Documents, and in any event all costs and expenses of a character which the Borrower has agreed to pay under Section 11.5 hereof (such funds to be retained by the Administrative Agent for its own account unless the Administrative Agent has previously been reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Lenders, in which event such amounts shall be remitted to the Lenders to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to the Administrative Agent);

(b) second, to the payment of any outstanding interest or other fees or amounts due under the Term Notes and the other Loan Documents, in each case other than for principal, ratably as among the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in accord with the amount of such interest and other fees or amounts owing each;

(c) third, to the payment of the principal of the Term Notes, and Hedging Liability, and, in the case of Hedging Liability, their Affiliates, to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the then aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;

-13-

(d) fourth, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders ratably in accordance with the amounts of any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Borrower owing to each of them and secured by the Collateral Documents unless and until all such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities have been fully paid and satisfied; and

(e) fifth, to the Borrower or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.

Section 3.5. Notations and Requests. All Borrowings made against the Term Notes and the rates of interest applicable thereto, the maturity thereof, shall be recorded by the Lenders on their books or, at their option in any instance, endorsed on the reverse side of the Term Notes and the unpaid principal balances and status, rates and currencies so recorded or endorsed by the Lenders shall be prima facie evidence in any court or other proceeding brought to enforce the Term Notes of the principal amount remaining unpaid thereon, the interest rates applicable thereto and the maturity thereof. Prior to any negotiation of any Term Note, the Lender holding such Term Note shall endorse thereon the outstanding amount of Borrowings evidenced thereby, the currencies in which the same are payable, the rates of interest applicable thereto and the maturities thereof.


SECTION 4.	THE COLLATERAL AND THE GUARANTEES.

-14-

performance of any Contract or to premium refunds, including, but not limited to, builders risk, fire, employee dishonesty or workers’ compensation policies; (g) all supplies, tools, plants, material, inventory, and equipment (whether completely manufactured or not), wherever located, which have been or hereafter may be purchased, used, or acquired for use, entirely or partly, in connection with or to be incorporated into the matter that is the subject of any Contract; and (h) all amounts that may be owing from time to time by a bonding company to a Contractor or any Guarantor in any capacity including, without limitation, any balance or share belonging to such Contractor or Guarantor or any deposit or other account with a bonding company, may be subject to prior Liens in favor of bonding companies to secure obligations in connection with such payment and performance bonds; (ii) no Lien need be granted on any asset subject to a lien permitted by Section 7.11(e), (i), (l) (as to Liens on fixed assets only) or (m) (iii) no Lien need be granted on the capital stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or on the capital stock or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries, (iv) no Liens need be granted on real property unless and until the Required Lenders so require, (v) Liens granted may be subject and subordinate to Liens permitted by clauses (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (g), (h), (j), (k), (n), (o) and (q) of Section 7.11 hereof, (vi) Liens need not be perfected by possession or control (but may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement) on notes receivable having a fair value of less than $1,000,000 in any instance and $5,000,000 in the aggregate or on bonds or notes pledged to the City of New York in lieu of retainage, (vii) Liens need not be perfected by possession or control (but may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement) on equity securities (other than capital stock of Restricted Subsidiaries to the extent required hereby) having a fair value of less than $1,000,000 in any instance and $5,000,000 in the aggregate and (viii) no lien need be granted on any contract, license, permit or franchise, that validly prohibits the creation, attachment, or perfection of a security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent in such contract, license, permit or franchise (or in any rights or property obtained by such Person under such contract, license, permit or franchise), (ix) no lien need be granted on any rights or property to the extent that any valid and enforceable law or regulation applicable to such rights or property prohibits the creation of a security interest therein, and (x) no lien need be granted on any rights or property to the extent that such rights or property secure purchase money financing therefor permitted by this Term Loan Agreement and the agreements providing such purchase money financing prohibit the creation of a further security interest therein. The Borrower agrees that it will, and will cause the Guarantors to, from time to time at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders execute and deliver such documents, security agreements, assignments, pledges, hypothecs or charges and do such acts and things as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request in order to provide for or perfect such Liens on the Collateral. The portion of the capital stock of each U.K. Subsidiary and Canadian Subsidiary owned by a U.S. Corporation and constituting Collateral in excess of 65% of the total issued and outstanding capital stock of such Subsidiary shall be referred to herein as “Excess Stock Collateral”). In no event shall the Excess Stock Collateral secure the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Borrower or the U.S. Subsidiaries hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lien need be granted on the capital stock of a captive insurance company or captive surety company if the granting of such Lien would violate applicable law or require the consent of any applicable regulatory body.

Section 4.2. The Guarantees. The Obligations and Hedging Liability of the Borrower shall be fully guaranteed by the Guarantors. Subject to 4.1, the Required Lenders may from time

-15-

to time require any Restricted Subsidiary which is a U.S. Subsidiary (other than Restricted Subsidiaries which are not Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and any captive insurance company or captive surety company which is a Restricted Subsidiary) to provide a Guarantee and Liens on its assets in which event the Borrower shall within 30 days of request cause such Restricted Subsidiary to execute and deliver a Guarantee to the Administrative Agent together with such supporting resolutions, opinions and other showings as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.


SECTION 5.	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:

Section 5.1. Organization and Qualification. The Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing as a corporation, under the laws of Delaware has full and adequate power to own its Property and conduct its business as now conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.2. Subsidiaries. Except as set forth in the Side Letter (as hereinafter defined), each Restricted Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (or their equivalents under applicable local law) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or organized, as the case may be, has full and adequate power to own its Property and conduct its business as now conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the date hereof, Schedule 5.2 hereto identifies each Restricted Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, the percentage of issued and outstanding shares of each class of its capital stock or other equity interests owned by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries and, if such percentage is not 100% (excluding directors’ qualifying shares as required by law), a description of each class of its authorized capital stock and other equity interests and the number of shares of each class issued and outstanding and the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent of any material changes in such information. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests of each such Subsidiary are validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable (except for the provisions of Section 630 of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, as to New York Corporations) and as of the date hereof all such shares and other equity interests indicated on Schedule 5.2 as owned by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary are as of the date hereof owned, beneficially and of record, by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens not permitted hereby. There are no outstanding commitments or other obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary to issue, and no options, warrants or other rights of any Person to acquire, any shares of any class of capital stock or other equity interests of any Restricted Subsidiary except in favor of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary.

Section 5.3. Corporate Authority and Validity of Obligations. The Borrower has full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, to make the borrowings herein provided for, to issue the Term Notes in evidence thereof,

-16-

to grant to the Administrative Agent the Liens provided for in the Collateral Documents being executed by it, and to perform all of its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each Guarantor has full right and authority to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party, to grant to the Administrative Agent the Liens provided for in the Collateral Documents executed by it and to perform all of its obligations under such Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and Guarantors and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and Guarantors enforceable in accordance with their terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not, nor does the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Guarantor of any of the matters and things herein or therein provided for, contravene or constitute a default under any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Borrower or any Guarantor or any provision of the charter, articles of incorporation or organization or by-laws of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any covenant, indenture or agreement of the Borrower or the Guarantors or affecting any of their Properties, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any Property of the Borrower or the Guarantors.

Section 5.4. Use of Proceeds; Margin Stock. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Term Loans and other extensions of credit made available hereunder solely for their general corporate purposes (including ordinary course of business refunding of indebtedness and acquisitions and investments permitted hereunder). Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of any Term Loan or any other extension of credit made hereunder will be used to purchase or carry any such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock.

Section 5.5. Financial Reports. The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholder’s equity of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year then ended, and accompanying notes thereto, which consolidated financial statements are accompanied by the audit report of Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as at June 30, 2007 and the related interim condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholder’s equity of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for the six (6) months then ended heretofore furnished to the Lenders, fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as at said dates and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, but subject, in the case of such interim condensed financial statements and the related notes thereto, to year end audit adjustments which are not expected to be material. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary has, to the best of its knowledge, contingent liabilities which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect other than as indicated on such financial statements or, as to each reaffirmation of this sentence’s representation and warranty in the future, on the most recent financial statements or

-17-

the related notes thereto which are to be provided to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.5 hereof or other than as set forth in that certain Side Letter dated September 19, 2007 from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (the “Side Letter”).

Section 5.6. No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no change in the condition (financial or otherwise) or business prospects of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.7. Full Disclosure. The statements and information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders through the date hereof in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the commitments by the Lenders to provide all or part of the financing contemplated hereby do not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the material statements contained herein or therein not misleading, the Lenders acknowledging that as to any projections furnished to the Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Borrower only represents that the same were prepared on the basis of information and estimates the Borrower believed to be reasonable.

Section 5.8. Good Title. Except to the extent heretofore disclosed on the Schedules to this Agreement or in the Side Letter, as of the date hereof the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to their real property and good and merchantable title to the balance of their assets as reflected on the most recent balance sheets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries furnished to the Lenders (except for sales of assets by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business), subject to no Liens other than such thereof as are permitted by Section 7.11 hereof.

Section 5.9. Litigation and Other Controversies. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.9 hereof or in the Side Letter, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding or labor controversy pending, nor to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary which if adversely determined would (a) impair the validity or enforceability of, or impair the ability of the Borrower or any Guarantor to perform its obligations under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (b) have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.10. Taxes. All tax returns which, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, are required to be filed by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in any jurisdiction have, in fact, been filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or upon any of their respective Properties, income or franchises, which are shown to be due and payable in such returns, have been paid to the extent due, in each case except where the failure to do so would not cause a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower does not know of any material proposed additional tax assessment against it or the Restricted Subsidiaries for which adequate provision in accordance with GAAP has not been made in the financial statements of Borrower on a consolidated basis. Adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP for taxes on the books of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary have been made for all open years, and for its current fiscal period.

-18-

Section 5.11. Approvals. No authorization, consent, license, or exemption from, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental department, agency or instrumentality, nor any approval or consent of the stockholders of the Borrower or any other Person, is or will be necessary to the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower or the Guarantors of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, other than the stockholders of the Guarantors.

Section 5.12. Affiliate Transactions. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary is a party to any contract or agreement with any of its Affiliates (other than contracts and agreements between and among the Borrower and Restricted Subsidiaries) on terms and conditions which are less favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary than would be usual and customary in similar contracts or agreements between Persons not affiliated with each other than any such contract or agreement which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.13. Investment Company. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 5.14. ERISA. Except to the extent heretofore disclosed in writing to the Lenders, the Borrower and each other member of its Controlled Group has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of and is in compliance in all material respects with ERISA and the Code to the extent applicable to it and has not incurred any material liability to the PBGC or a Plan (other than material liabilities arising in the future under a multiemployer plan as defined in Section 4001(c)(3) of ERISA which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) under Title IV of ERISA other than a material liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

Section 7.13. Capital and Certain other Restricted Expenditures. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make, or (without duplication) become obligated to make, any Capital Expenditure (other than Capital Expenditures which constitute Permitted Acquisitions and investments permitted by Section 7.12(j), (n) or (o) hereof) or apply for a letter of credit (whether hereunder or otherwise) supporting an obligation of any Strategic Venture described in Section 7.12(o) or guarantee any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of any such Strategic Venture, if after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount expended (other than in the form of capital stock of the Borrower) for such purposes during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the expenditure in question when taken together with the face amount of such letters of credit issued during such period and such indebtedness so guaranteed incurred during such period, would exceed the sum of (i) 2.00% of the arithmetic average of the unrealized revenue from contracts in progress of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (computed in accord with the past practice of the Borrower) as of the last day of each of the four calendar quarters most recently completed prior to the computation in question, (ii) the net cash proceeds received by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries during the same period from sales of assets (including stock of Restricted Subsidiaries permitted by Sections 7.14 and/or 7.15 hereof but excluding sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business) and (iii) the maximum amount of dividends which the Borrower could pay under Section 7.16 as of the date of the expenditure or application in question.

Section 7.14. Mergers, Consolidations and Sales. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, be a party to any merger, consolidation or dissolution, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any substantial part of the Property of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, including any disposition of Property as part of a sale and leaseback transaction (unless such transaction would be permitted had it been structured as a purchase money mortgage or Capital Lease and is treated as such for purposes of this Agreement), or in any event sell or discount (with or without

-35-

recourse) any of its notes or accounts receivable (other than sales of accounts receivable by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries to any Restricted Subsidiary, sale and leaseback transactions between the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and any Restricted Subsidiary and sales or discounts of doubtful accounts or notes taken in satisfaction of same); provided, however, that this Section 7.14 shall not apply to nor operate to prevent the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries from selling their inventory in the ordinary course of its business or from selling equipment which is obsolete, worn out, or no longer needed for the operation of the business of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries or which is promptly replaced with equipment of at least equal utility nor shall the foregoing prohibit (i) mergers of Restricted Subsidiaries with and into the Borrower and sales by Restricted Subsidiaries of all or substantially all of their assets to the Borrower, (ii) mergers of Restricted Subsidiaries with each other and sales of all or substantially all of the assets of a Restricted Subsidiary to another Restricted Subsidiary provided in each case that if either of the two Restricted Subsidiaries in question is a Guarantor, the survivor of the transaction in question remains a Guarantor and all such actions are taken as the Administrative Agent requires to preserve its Liens on the Collateral, (iii) the dissolution or liquidation of any Restricted Subsidiary whose activities are no longer, in the opinion of the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Borrower, necessary for the operation of the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, provided always that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result therefrom and if the Restricted Subsidiary to be dissolved or liquidated is a Guarantor, all of its assets remaining after the dissolution or liquidation in question are transferred to another Guarantor and all such actions, if any, are taken as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in order to insure that it has a Lien on the assets so transferred of the priority required by Section 4.1 hereof. The term “substantial” as used herein shall mean the sale, transfer, lease or other disposition of assets of the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiaries, whether in one or a series of transactions having a value when aggregated with the value of assets of all other such sales, transfers, leases or other dispositions during the period from and including the date hereof to and including the date of such sale, transfer, lease or other disposition, would exceed 10% of the book value of assets of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date. The Administrative Agent shall release its Lien on any Property sold pursuant to the foregoing provisions if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom.

Section 7.15. Maintenance of Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower shall not assign, sell or transfer, or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue, assign, sell or transfer, any shares of capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary); provided that the foregoing shall not operate to prevent (i) the issuance, sale and transfer to any person of any shares of capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (a) for the purpose of qualifying, and to the extent legally necessary to qualify, such person as a director of such Subsidiary or (b) solely for the purpose of permitting such Subsidiary to carry on a licensed business or (ii) the sale of all or a minority interest in the capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary if but only if (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result from the sale of same, (b) the sale of such capital stock is not a sale of a substantial part of the assets of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole (as the term “substantial” is defined in Section 7.14 hereof), (c) the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of Directors of the Borrower has determined that the continued ownership of the Restricted Subsidiary (or the

-36-

minority interest therein to be disposed of) in question is no longer appropriate in light of the then needs and strategic objectives of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole and (d) in the case of the sale of all the Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary all indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary is paid in full, and all guarantees or other support undertakings provided by the Borrower or other Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of such disposed Restricted Subsidiary are discharged, concurrently with the sale in question, provided that then existing Performance Guarantees or guaranties in respect of surety bonds with respect to such a Restricted Subsidiary need not be so discharged as to jobs which commenced prior to the completion of such sale. Concurrently with the sale of all of the capital stock of a Restricted Subsidiary permitted hereby, the Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to release any Guarantee provided by such Restricted Subsidiary and any Lien on the stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary and such entity shall no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary hereunder. Except as set forth in the Side Letter, the Borrower shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to enter into any contract or agreement after the date hereof prohibiting or restricting such Restricted Subsidiary from paying dividends or making loans and advances to the Borrower except in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary formed or acquired to be a captive insurer or a captive surety.

Section 7.16. Dividends and Certain Other Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not during any fiscal year (a) declare or pay any dividends on or make any other distributions in respect of any class or series of its capital stock (except for dividends payable solely in its capital stock) or (b) directly or indirectly purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire any of its capital stock or any options or warrants therefor except out of the net proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance and sale of capital stock or options or warrants therefor (collectively, “Restricted Payments”) if after giving effect thereto (i) the aggregate amount expended for all such purposes subsequent to the date hereof would exceed the difference between (x) $125,000,000 plus (but not minus in the case of a deficit) 50% of Net Income for the period (taken as a single accounting period) from July 1, 2007 to the last day of the calendar quarter most recently completed prior to the Restricted Payment in question and (y) any portion of the amount computed pursuant to clause (x) hereof which was used to justify a transaction under Section 7.13 pursuant to clause (iii) thereof and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 7.17. ERISA. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, promptly pay and discharge all obligations and liabilities arising under ERISA of a character which if unpaid or unperformed might result in the imposition of a Lien against any of their Properties. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender of (i) the occurrence of any reportable event (as defined in ERISA) with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title IV of ERISA (other than a multiemployer plan) sponsored or contributed to by either the Borrower or any member of its Controlled Group (a “Plan”) with respect to which the PBGC has neither waived the 30 day reporting requirement nor issued a public announcement that the penalty applicable to a failure to report will not apply, (ii) receipt of any notice from the PBGC of its intention to seek termination of any Plan or appointment of a trustee therefor, (iii) its intention to terminate any Plan or withdraw from any multiemployer plan if such termination or withdrawal could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) the

-37-

occurrence of any other event with respect to any Plan which would result in the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any material liability, fine or penalty, or any material increase in the contingent liability of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to any post-retirement Welfare Plan benefit which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.18. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply in all respects with the requirements of all foreign (whether national, supra-national or otherwise), federal, state, provincial, and local laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and orders applicable to or pertaining to their Properties or business operations, non-compliance with which could have a Material Adverse Effect or could result in a Lien upon any of their Property material to the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 7.19. Burdensome Contracts With Affiliates. The Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any contract, agreement or business arrangement with any of its Affiliates (other than with or among Restricted Subsidiaries and the Borrower) on terms and conditions which are less favorable to the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary than would be usual and customary in similar contracts, agreements or business arrangements between Persons not affiliated with each other.

Section 7.20. No Changes in Fiscal Year. The Borrower shall not change its fiscal year from its present basis without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

Section 7.21. Formation of Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, form or acquire any Subsidiary except in connection with acquisitions permitted by Section 7.12 hereof and the formation of new subsidiaries if in any such case and in either such instance the newly formed or acquired Subsidiary shall, if the Required Lenders so request and to the extent required by this Agreement, execute and deliver a Guarantee and grant Liens on its assets of the priority required by Section 4.1 hereof (and provide the Administrative Agent with such documentation therefore and such supporting documentation, including opinions of counsel, as it may reasonably request). Each Subsidiary acquired or formed pursuant hereto shall constitute a Restricted Subsidiary unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree in writing.

Section 7.22. Change in the Nature of Business. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business or activity if as a result the general nature of the business of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries would be changed in any material respect from the general nature of the business engaged in by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement, it being understood that this Section does not prohibit the FR Acquisition.

Section 7.23. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Term Loan hereunder to pay a portion of the consideration for the FR Acquisition and to pay the reasonable costs and expenses incident thereto, it being understood that if the FR Acquisition closes prior the Closing Date, the Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Term Loan to repay advances under

-38-

the Revolving Credit Agreement and/or advances from the Borrower’s cash-on-hand, in each case to be used to pay a portion of the purchase price of the FR Acquisition.

The Lenders shall ratably indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or attorneys-in-fact (including as such any security trustee therefor), harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by them hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Borrower or out of the Collateral and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 10.6. [Intentionally Omitted]

Section 10.7. Conflict. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 10 and the provisions of any Collateral Document regarding the rights, duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall govern.

Section 10.8. Hedging Liability. By virtue of a Lender’s execution of this Agreement or an assignment agreement pursuant to Section 11.17 hereof, as the case may be, any Affiliate of such Lender with whom the Borrower or any Subsidiary has entered into an agreement creating

-56-

Hedging Liability shall be deemed a Lender party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent is acting, it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of such Affiliate under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Affiliate’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral and the Guarantees as more fully set forth in Section 3.4 hereof. In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due to any Lender or its Affiliate with respect to Hedging Liability unless such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount of any such liability owed to it or its Affiliate prior to such distribution.

Section 10.9. Designation of Additional Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “arrangers,” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.

Section 10.10. Authorization to Release or Subordinate or Limit Liens. The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to (a) release any Lien covering any Collateral that is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relevant Collateral Documents (including a sale, transfer, or disposition permitted by the terms of Section 7.14 hereof or which has otherwise been consented to in accordance with Section 11.4 hereof), (b) release or subordinate any Lien on Collateral consisting of goods financed with purchase money indebtedness or under a Capital Lease to the extent such purchase money indebtedness or Capitalized Lease Obligation, and the Lien securing the same, are permitted by Sections 7.10(h) and 7.11(e) hereof, and (c) reduce or limit the amount of the indebtedness secured by any particular item of Collateral to an amount not less than the estimated value thereof to the extent necessary to reduce mortgage registry, filing and similar tax.

Section 10.11. Authorization to Enter into, and Enforcement of, the Collateral Documents. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to execute and deliver the Collateral Documents (including the Intercreditor Agreement) on behalf of each of the Lenders and their Affiliates and to take such action and exercise such powers under the Collateral Documents as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, considers appropriate, provided neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall amend the Collateral Documents unless such amendment is agreed to in writing by the Required Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents upon the execution and delivery thereof by the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable. Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, no Lender (or its Affiliates) other than the Collateral Agent shall have the right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral or for the execution of any trust or power in respect of the Collateral or for the appointment of a receiver or for the enforcement of any other remedy under the Collateral Documents; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Lenders

-57-

(or their Affiliates) shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the Lien of the Collateral Agent (or any security trustee therefor) under the Collateral Documents by its or their action or to enforce any right thereunder, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had, and maintained by the Collateral Agent (or its security trustee) in the manner provided for in the relevant Collateral Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and their Affiliates.


SECTION 11.	MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 11.1. Withholding Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 11.1(b) hereof, each payment by the Borrower and each Guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes (but not withholdings) on the recipient imposed by a jurisdiction where it is domiciled or has an established place of business) imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower or such Guarantor is domiciled, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower or such Guarantor makes any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower or relevant Guarantor shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender and the Administrative Agent free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding not been made. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest (including without limitation, for the avoidance of doubt, any taxes, penalties or interest attributable to any amounts reimbursed pursuant to the provisions hereof) the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or that Lender for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made. If the Borrower or any Guarantor pay any such taxes, penalties or interest, they shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to the Lender or Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent determines it has received or been granted a credit against or relief or remission for, or repayment of, any taxes paid or payable by it because of any taxes, penalties or interest paid by the Borrower or any Guarantor and evidenced by such a tax receipt, such Lender or Administrative Agent shall, to the extent it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the Borrower or such Guarantor as applicable, such amount as such Lender or Administrative Agent reasonably determines is attributable to such deduction or withholding and which will leave such Lender or Administrative Agent (after such payment) in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the Borrower or Guarantors had not been required to make such deduction or withholding. Nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with the right of each Lender and the Administrative Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or the Administrative Agent to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in connection with such taxes.

-58-

(b) U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions. Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the earlier of the date the initial Borrowing is made hereunder and thirty (30) days after the date hereof, two duly completed and signed copies of either Form W8-BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Term Loans) or Form W8-ECI (relating to all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Term Loans) of the United States Internal Revenue Service. Thereafter and from time to time, each Lender shall submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may be (i) requested by the Borrower in a written notice, directly or through the Administrative Agent, to such Lender and (ii) required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid or reduce United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Term Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) a Lender which becomes a Lender after the date hereof shall not be required to submit a Form W8-BEN or Form W8-ECI until the date it becomes a Lender; and (ii) a Lender shall have no obligations to provide either such Form (or successor form) subsequent to the date it becomes a Lender if such Lender is excused from doing so pursuant to Section 11.1(c).

(c) Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Lender determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to the Borrower or Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 11.1. or that such Lender is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such fact and the Lender shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable. If any Lender can avoid the effect of any such change in law, regulation or treaty or in the application or interpretation thereof, whether by changing its lending office or otherwise, it undertakes to do so if the same can be accomplished without disadvantage to it. If some, but not all, of the Lenders are affected by a change of the type described herein, such Lender agrees that it will at the request of the Borrower assign its Obligations to another Lender under and pursuant to the conditions set forth in Section 11.17 hereof.

Section 11.2. Holidays. If any payment of principal or interest on any of the Term Notes or any fees shall fall due on a Saturday, Sunday or on another day which is a legal holiday for lenders in the State of Illinois, (i) interest at the rates such Notes bear for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue on such principal from the stated due date thereof to and including the next succeeding Business Day and (ii) such principal, interest and fees shall be payable on such succeeding Business Day.

-59-

Section 11.3. No Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on the part of the Administrative Agent or any holder of any of the Obligations in the exercise of any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

Section 11.4. Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Lenders, and (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent; provided that:


	(i) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 11.4 shall (A) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder without the consent of the Lender to which such payment is owing or which has committed to make such Loan (or participate therein) hereunder; and

	(ii) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 11.4 shall, unless signed by each Lender, extend the Maturity Date, change the definition of Required Lenders, change the provisions of this Section 11.4, release any material Guarantor or any substantial part of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents), or affect the number of Lenders required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

Section 11.5. Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, recording or filing or release of the Loan Documents or in connection with any consents hereunder or thereunder or waivers or amendments hereto or thereto or assignments pursuant hereto, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect to all of the foregoing, and all recording, filing, insurance or other fees, costs and taxes incident to perfecting a Lien upon the collateral security for the Term Notes and the other Obligations, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other holders of the Obligations in connection with any Default or Event of Default or in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, and all reasonable costs, fees and taxes of the types enumerated above incurred in supplementing (and recording or filing supplements to) the Collateral Documents in connection with assignments contemplated by Section 11.17 hereof if counsel to the Administrative Agent believes such supplements to be appropriate or desirable. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and save the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any security trustee for the Administrative Agent or the Lenders harmless from any and all liabilities, losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought against the Administrative Agent, any security trustee or any Lender by

-60-

any Person which arises out of the transactions contemplated or financed by any of the Loan Documents or out of any action or inaction by the Administrative Agent, any security trustee or any Lender thereunder, except for such thereof as is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified. The provisions of this Section 11.5 and the protective provisions of Section 2 hereof shall survive payment of the Obligations.

Section 11.6. Stamp Taxes. The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit to it is then in use or available.

Section 11.7. Survival of Representations and Indemnities. All representations and warranties made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in certificates given pursuant hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder. All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Loans, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 11.8. Construction. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall not be construed more favorably in favor of one than the other based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement.

Section 11.9. Addresses for Notices. Unless specifically provided otherwise hereunder, all communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made when served personally or three days after being deposited in the United States mail addressed, if to the Borrower, at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Chairman of the Board, and if to the Lenders at their addresses as shown on the signature pages hereof or on any Assignment Agreement, or at such other address as shall be designated by any party hereto in a written notice given to each party pursuant to this Section 11.9.

Section 11.10. Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

Section 11.11. Headings. Article and Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 11.12. Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers

-61-

provided in this Agreement and other Loan Documents may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable.

Section 11.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.14. Binding Nature and Governing Law. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders and the benefit of their successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of an interest of the Term Notes. This Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto shall be construed and determined in accordance with, and shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois without regard to principles of conflicts of law. The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of all of the Lenders.

Section 11.15. Entire Understanding. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents and any agreements between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent concerning fees, constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.

Section 11.16. Participations. Any Lender may grant participations in its extensions of credit hereunder to any other financial institution (a “Participant”) provided that (i) no Participant shall thereby acquire any direct rights under this Agreement, (ii) no Lender shall agree with a Participant not to exercise any of its rights hereunder without the consent of such Participant except for rights which under the terms hereof may only be exercised by all Lenders, (iii) no sale of a participation in extensions of credit shall in any manner relieve the selling Lender of its obligations hereunder and (iv) the Borrower shall not be responsible for the costs incurred by any Lender in connection with such participations.

Section 11.17. Assignments. (a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts. (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Effective Date” is specified in the

-62-

Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Effective Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Credits on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.17(a)(i)(B) and, in addition:


	(a) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

	(b) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided such fee shall not be required for assignments to an Affiliate of a Lender), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower or Parent. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.17(b) hereof, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 11.5 and 11.7 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not

-63-

comply with this Section 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 Section 11.16 hereof.

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago, Illinois, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Any Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.18. Terms of Collateral Documents not Superseded. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.

Section 11.19. PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVERS.

(a) EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (b), THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWER AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES AMONG THEM ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY (AND EACH OF THEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE OTHERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF) THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN XXXX COUNTY, ILLINOIS, BUT EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF XXXX COUNTY, ILLINOIS. THE BORROWER WAIVES IN ALL DISPUTES ANY OBJECTION THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT CONSIDERING THE DISPUTE.

(b) OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND EACH OF THE LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY (“PROPERTY”) IN A COURT IN ANY LOCATION OR JURISDICTION TO

-64-

ENABLE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO REALIZE ON PROPERTY, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER AND, WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THE BORROWER AGREES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO COMMENCE PROCEEDINGS (WHETHER FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING OR ENFORCING ANY ORDER OR JUDGMENT OR OTHERWISE HOWSOEVER) IN THE COURTS OF THE JURISDICTIONS WHERE THE BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS PROPERTY IS LOCATED.

(c) Jury Trial Waiver. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 11.20. Interest Rate Limitation.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 11.22. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders severally agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors to the extent any such Person has a need to know such Information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will first be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of

-65-

this Section, to (A) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (i) to rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Loans or Commitments hereunder, or (j) to entities which compile and publish information about the syndicated loan market, provided that only basic information about the pricing and structure of the transaction evidenced hereby may be disclosed pursuant to this subsection (j).

Each of the Lenders hereby agrees with each other Lender that if it should receive or obtain any payment (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon collateral, by the exercise of rights of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, or by the enforcement of any rights under this Term Loan Agreement, the Term Notes or the Collateral Documents or otherwise) in respect of the Obligations, in a greater amount than such Lender would have received had such payment been made to the Administrative Agent and been distributed among the Lenders as contemplated by Section 3.4 hereof, then in that event the Lender receiving such disproportionate payment shall purchase for cash without recourse from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations owed to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a distribution of such payment as contemplated by Section 3.4 hereof.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

EXHIBIT B

September , 2007

Bank of Montreal, as Administrative Agent
000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxxxx, XX 00000
Xxxxxx, X.X., as Collateral Agent, and
Lenders from time to time party to
the Term Loan Agreement hereinafter identified

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Executive Vice President and General Counsel of EMCOR Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have acted as counsel to the Company and the corporations, limited liability companies and limited partnerships listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Guarantors”, and collectively with the Company, the “Organizations”) in connection with the Term Loan Agreement dated as of September , 2007 (the “Term Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company and Bank of Montreal, individually and as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders which are or become parties thereto, in connection with which a term loan is being made available by you to the Company.

This opinion is being delivered pursuant to Section 6(m) of the Term Loan Agreement. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement.

In connection with this opinion, I have reviewed the Term Loan Agreement; the form of Term Note; the form of Guaranty Agreement dated as of September , 2007 made by the Guarantors (as such term is defined in such Guaranty Agreement) in favor of the Guaranteed Creditors (as such term is defined in such Guaranty Agreement), the form of Assumption and Supplemental Guaranty Agreement dated as of September , 2007 made by certain Guarantors (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 14, 2005 by and among the Company and Certain of Its Subsidiaries and Xxxxxx X.X. and the Lenders which are or became parties thereto (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”)) in favor of the Guaranteed Creditors (as that term is defined in the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement dated as of October 14, 2005, which the Supplemental Guaranty Agreement supplements); the form of Second Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement dated as of September , 2007 by and among the Pledgors (as such term is defined in such Pledge Agreement), including the Company and other entities substantially owned, directly or indirectly by the Company, and Xxxxxx X.X., as Agent (the “Agent”); the form of Second Amended and Restated Security Agreement dated as of September , 2007 by and among the Debtors (as such term is defined in such Security Agreement), including the Company and other entities substantially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, and Xxxxxx X.X. (as such term is defined in such Security Agreement), as Agent (the “Agent”), and the Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement dated as of September ,

C-2

2007 by and among Xxxxxx X.X., as Collateral Agent and Revolver Agent, and Bank of Montreal, as Term Loan Agent (as such terms are defined therein), which the Company and the Guarantors have acknowledged and consented to (collectively, the “Loan Documents”).


	I have also reviewed and am familiar with:

	(i) a copy of the certificate of incorporation (or other similar organization document) of each Organization which is a corporation, certified by the Secretary, Clerk, Assistant Secretary or Assistant Clerk of such Organization;

	(ii) a copy of the certificate of formation (or other similar organization document) of each Guarantor which is a limited liability company, certified by Members, a Manager or an officer of each such Guarantor;

	(iii) a copy of the certificate of limited partnership of each Guarantor which is a limited partnership, certified by a general partner or officer of each such Guarantor;

	(iv) a certificate (or the equivalent thereof), dated as of a date no earlier than 30 days prior to the date hereof, as to the good standing and/or legal existence of each Organization issued by the Secretary of State of the state of such Organization’s organization provided such state issues such certificate or equivalent;

	(v) a copy of the by-laws of each Organization which is a corporation, certified by the Secretary or the Assistant Secretary or Clerk or Assistant Clerk of such Organization as being the by-laws of such Organization as in effect on the date hereof;

	(vi) a copy of the limited liability company agreement or operating agreement of each Guarantor which is a limited liability company, certified by Members, a Manager or an officer of each such Guarantor as being the limited liability company agreement or operating agreement of such Guarantor as in effect on the date hereof;

	(vii) a copy of the limited partnership agreement of each Guarantor which is a limited partnership, certified by an officer of the general partner of each such Guarantor or the officer of each such Guarantor as being the limited partnership agreement of such Guarantor as in effect on the date hereof;

	(viii) copies of certain resolutions adopted by the board of directors of each Organization which is a corporation, authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which such Organization is party, each certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary or the Clerk or Assistant Clerk of such Organization;

	(ix) copies of certain resolutions adopted by the members, Board of Managers or Managers of each Guarantor which is a limited liability company, authorizing the

C-3


	execution, delivery and performance of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is party, each certified by Members, a Manager, or an officer of such Guarantor; and

	(x) copies of certain resolutions adopted by the general partner of each Guarantor which is a limited partnership, authorizing the execution, delivery, and performance of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, each certified by the Secretary of the general partner of such Guarantor.

I also have examined such other corporate, limited liability company and limited partnership documents and records and such other agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments, papers, statutes and authorities, and have made such examinations of law, as I have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions below.

In such examinations, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of representatives of the Organizations), the completeness and authenticity of all records and all documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity to original documents of the documents supplied to me as copies. As to various questions of fact material to such opinions, I have relied upon representations and warranties of each of the Organizations contained in the Loan Documents and upon statements and certificates of the officers, Members, or Manager of the Organizations or of officers of the general partners of Organizations that are limited partnerships or of officers of Organizations that are limited partnerships and of other parties to the Loan Documents and of public officials, and upon public records. I have not conducted a search of or otherwise examined the records of any court.

For purposes of the opinions hereinafter expressed, I have assumed that (a) each party to any Loan Document (other than the Organizations) has the power to enter into and perform all of its obligations thereunder, (b) each such party (other than the Organizations) has taken all necessary actions to authorize the due execution, delivery and performance of such Loan Document by it, and (c) each such Loan Document is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each such party (other than the Organizations) thereto.

The opinions set forth in numbered paragraph 3 below with respect to the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of any Loan Document are subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and court decisions with respect thereto, and I express no opinion with respect to the application of equitable principles to any Loan Document in any proceeding, whether at law or in equity.

I express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions of the Loan Documents which; (a) restrict access to legal or equitable remedies; (b) purport to waive or affect any rights to notices; (c) contain a covenant by a party to take actions the taking of which is discretionary with or subject to the approval of another party or which are otherwise subject to contingencies the fulfillment of which is not within the control of the party so covenanting; (d) purport to limit the

C-4

Agent’s obligations to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of collateral in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York; (e) purport to exculpate a party from, or indemnify a party against, its own negligence or failure to act in good faith or in accordance with standards of commercial reasonableness; (f) purport to allow the Agent to establish evidentiary standards for suit or proceedings to enforce such Loan Documents; (g) purport to allow the Agent to set off and apply deposits of any Organization to its obligations under the Loan Documents without prior notice having been given to any Organization, or as to the enforceability of any waiver by any Organization of demand or of rights to set-off or counterclaim; (h) relate to delay, election or omission of enforcement of

remedies; (i) relate to severability; or (j) purport to constitute waivers of rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or indemnity by any Organization. I also point out that legal and equitable principles require good faith and fair dealing by the Agent and may require the Agent to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents in a reasonable manner, including, but not limited to, consideration by the Agent of the materiality of any breach by any Organization and of the consequences of such breach to the Agent. Furthermore, certain other provisions as to rights, remedies, covenants and limitations contained in the Loan Documents are subject to legal or equitable principles relating to the strict or specific enforcement of such rights, remedies, covenants and limitations. However, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and court decisions with respect thereto, the limitations referred to in this paragraph and/or in other parts of this opinion, do not, in my opinion, make the remedies and procedures which will be afforded to the Agent inadequate for the realization of the substantive benefits purported to be provided under the Loan Documents.

I also point out that the enforceability of the above-referenced Security Agreement and the security interests created thereby may be subject to rights of account debtors and any claims or defenses of such persons against any Organization. Moreover, in the case of receivables that are due from the United States or any state thereof or any department of the United States or any state thereof, the right to collect upon such receivables may be limited by the Assignment of Claims Act, 31 U.S.C.A. § 3727 (1989) and any applicable state law relating to the assignment of claims against such State.

I express no opinion with respect to the right, title or interest of any Organization in or to any property, the existence, location or description of any Collateral (as such term is defined in the Loan Documents), or the priority or perfection of any security interest or other Lien in any of the Collateral as such term is defined in the Loan Documents or any other Lien referred to in the Loan Documents.

When reference is made in this opinion to “knowledge” or to what is “known to me”, it means my actual knowledge and in this regard it is noted that I have not made any special review, investigation or inquiry in connection with rendering the opinion with respect to the matters so qualified.

C-5

I am admitted to practice law in the State of New York and I do not purport to be expert on, or to express any opinion herein concerning, any law other than the laws of the State of New York, the federal laws of the United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. For the purposes of this opinion, I have assumed that the laws of the States of Illinois, and of the state of incorporation or organization of each of the Organizations not incorporated or organized in Delaware or New York, are identical to the laws of the State of New York. For the purpose of the due certification of status in the first sentence of my opinion in numbered paragraph 1 below, I have relied solely upon certificates of public officials of the states of organization of each of the Organizations. For purposes of my opinion expressed in the second sentence of numbered paragraph 1 below in respect of due qualification and good standing as a foreign organization, I am relying solely on the representations and warranties of each of the Organizations contained in the Loan Documents.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:


	1. Except as set forth in the Side Letter referred to in the Credit Agreement, each of the Organizations which is a corporation is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the corporate power and authority to transact the business in which it is engaged as now conducted, and each of the Organizations which is a limited liability company or a limited partnership is a legally existing limited liability company or limited partnership, respectively, in good standing or in existence under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has the power and authority to transact the business in which it is engaged and now conducted. Each of the Organizations which is a corporation or a limited liability company is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, in all of the states in which, to my knowledge, failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect.

	2. The Company has the corporate power to borrow from you. Each Guarantor has the corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership, or other power to guarantee all of the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company to you pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement. Each Organization has the corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership, or other power to mortgage, pledge, assign and otherwise encumber its assets and properties as collateral security for such borrowings, obligations and guarantees, to execute and deliver the Loan Documents executed by it and to which it is a party and to observe and perform all of the terms and provisions of such Loan Documents. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents executed by each of the Organizations does not, nor will the observance and performance of any of the terms and provisions thereof, violate any law or the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, by-laws, limited liability company agreement, operating agreement or limited partnership agreement (or other similar documents) of any such Organization or, to my knowledge, any covenant, indenture or agreement to which such Organization is a party.

C-6


	3. The Loan Documents executed by each Organization have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company, limited partnership, or other action, have been executed and delivered by the proper officers or other representatives of such Organization and constitute valid and binding agreements of such Organization, enforceable against it in accordance with the respective terms of such Loan Documents.

	4. Except as may be required in order to perfect the Liens contemplated by the Loan Documents, no order, authorization, consent, license or exemption of, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental department, agency, instrumentality or regulatory body of the United States of America or the State of New York is or will be required in connection with the lawful execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by each Organization party thereto or the performance by each such Organization of any of the terms of the Loan Documents.

	5. To my knowledge, after due inquiry, except as disclosed on Schedule 5.9 of the Credit Agreement or the Side Letter or in the notes to the financial statements of the Company as at and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 or in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation at law or in equity before or by any court or public body pending or threatened against any Organization or any of its assets or properties which, if adversely determined, could result in a Material Adverse Effect.

This opinion letter is furnished solely for your benefit in connection with matters relating to the Loan Documents and may not be used or relied upon by any other person or for any other purpose without my prior written consent.


	Very truly yours,

	Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx Executive Vice President and General Counsel
