SECTION 2.01. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
each Lender agrees to make (a) Revolving Loans to the Borrowers from time to time during the
Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (i) such Lender’s
Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) the total Revolving
Exposures exceeding the lesser of (x) the sum of the total Revolving Commitments or (y) the
Borrowing Base, subject to the Administrative Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion, to make
Protective Advances and Overadvances pursuant to the terms of Section 2.04 and 2.05.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Aggregate Credit
Exposure shall not exceed $30,000,000 at any time until such time as the Administrative Agent shall

records, Accounts, Inventory and other Collateral, in each case, satisfactory to the Administrative

CBFR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower Representative may request in accordance
herewith, provided that all Borrowings made on the Effective Date must be made as
CBFR Borrowings but may be converted into Eurodollar Borrowings in accordance with Section

Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to
make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the
obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing,
such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
and not less than $1,000,000. CBFR Revolving Borrowings may be in any amount. Borrowings of
more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that
there shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) Eurodollar Borrowings
outstanding.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower Representative
shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the
Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
SECTION 2.03. Requests for Revolving Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing,
the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request either in writing
(delivered by hand or facsimile) in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower Representative or by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than
10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in
the case of a CBFR Borrowing, not later than noon, Chicago time, on the date of the proposed

Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the
Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent
and signed by the Borrower Representative. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request
shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:
(i) the name of the applicable Borrower;
(ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing and a breakdown of the
separate wires comprising such Borrowing;

(v) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
term “Interest Period.”
If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving
Borrowing shall be a CBFR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any
requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower(s) shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing
Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the
details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04. Protective Advances.
(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Administrative Agent is authorized
by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole
discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the Borrowers, on
behalf of all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems
necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof,
(ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and
other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by
the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable
expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums
payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as
“Protective Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective
Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed $5,000,000; provided
further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances shall not cause
the Aggregate Credit Exposure to exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Protective
Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not
been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the
Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder.
All Protective Advances shall be CBFR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization
to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such
revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the
Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Availability
and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the
Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a
Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to
fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b).
(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before
or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action
by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the
Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation
in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the
date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective
Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such
Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and
all proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such
Protective Advance.
SECTION 2.05. Swingline Loans and Overadvances.
(a) The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Revolving Lenders agree that
in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
promptly after the Borrower Representative requests a CBFR Borrowing, the Swingline Lender
may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing Request by
advancing, on
- 27 -
behalf of the Revolving Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the
Borrowers, on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made
solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this
Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline
Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(d). Each Swingline
Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other CBFR Loans funded
by the Revolving Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline
Lender solely for its own account. In addition, the Borrowers hereby authorize the
Swingline Lender to, and the Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein (but without any further written notice required), not later than 1:00 p.m.,
Chicago time, on each Business Day, make available to the Borrowers by means of a credit to
the Funding Account(s), the proceeds of a Swingline Loan to the extent necessary to pay
items to be drawn on any Controlled Disbursement Account that day (as determined based on
notice from the Administrative Agent). The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding
at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline
Loan if the requested Swingline Loan exceeds Availability (before giving effect to such
Swingline Loan). All Swingline Loans shall be CBFR Borrowings.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of
the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with
absolutely no obligation), make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of the Revolving
Lenders, in amounts that exceed Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are herein
referred to collectively as “Overadvances”); provided that, no Overadvance
shall result in a Default due to Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long
as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but
solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance. In addition, Overadvances may be
made even if the condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied.
All Overadvances shall constitute CBFR Borrowings. The authority of the Administrative
Agent to make Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000,000 at any
time, no Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than sixty days and no Overadvance
shall cause any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment;
provided that, the Required Revolving Lenders may at any time revoke the
Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in
writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt
thereof.
(c) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan or an Overadvance (whether before or after the
occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with
respect to such Swingline Loan or Overadvance), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed,
without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably
purchased from the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan or
Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Commitment. The
Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Revolving Lenders
to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving
Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance purchased
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of
Collateral received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan.
(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request
settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis or
on any date that the Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Revolving Lenders of such
requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 noon Chicago
time on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each
Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall
transfer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding
principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which
- 28 -
Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the
Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m.,
Chicago time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a
Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02
have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be
applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with
Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving
Loans of such Revolving Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the
Administrative Agent by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender
shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest
thereon as specified in Section 2.07.
SECTION 2.06. Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Borrower Representative may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or
for the account of another Loan Party, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability
Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other
agreement submitted by the Loan Parties to, or entered into by the Loan Parties with, the
Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement
shall control.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To
request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an
outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower Representative shall hand deliver or facsimile
(or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by
the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of
the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed
or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which
shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall
comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name
and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to
prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank,
the applicable Loan Party also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing
Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of
Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment,
renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and
warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the
LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit and (iv) the total Revolving Exposures shall
not exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base.
(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the
close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of
such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after
such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date; provided, that, in the case of any Letter of Credit having an
expiration date later than the Maturity Date (including any Letter of Credit subject to
automatic renewal or extension), on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days prior to
the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall have provided the Administrative Agent with cash
collateral in an amount equal to 103% of the sum of (x) the undrawn face amount of such
Letter of Credit and (y) the amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements with respect thereto.
(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to
a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part
of the Issuing Bank
- 29 -
or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and
each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter
of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing,
each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the
Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any
reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each
Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or
reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in
respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying
to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00
a.m., Chicago time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers
Representative shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 9:00 a.m.,
Chicago time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower
Representative prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago
time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative
receives such notice; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to
borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such
payment be financed with a CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent
amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall
be discharged and replaced by the resulting CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If
the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each
Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers
in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following
receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its
Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as
provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving
Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so
received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative
Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent
shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders
have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such
Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving
Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement
(other than the funding of CBFR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above)
shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to
reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ joint and several obligation to
reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or
provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being
untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of
Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever,
- 30 -
whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of
this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff
against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the
Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any
liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of
any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective
of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission,
interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other
communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to
make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any
consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided
that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the
Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims
in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable
law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care
when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit
comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in
each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear
on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to
the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are
not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its
receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a
Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Loan Party by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and
whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder;
provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve
the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders
with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement,
then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC
Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers
reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to CBFR Revolving
Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when
due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest
accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that
interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to
paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such
Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any
time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the
replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify
the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such
replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the
account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the
effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the
rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of
Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall
be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or
- 31 -
to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After
the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party
hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under
this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but
shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been
accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total
LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the
Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the
Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral
Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such
cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become
immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence
of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of
Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the
payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have
exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such
account and the Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent a security interest in the
LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits,
which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative
Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.
Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys
in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank
for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied,
shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the
LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject
to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the
total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers are
required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of
an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned
to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all such Defaults have been cured or
waived.
SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date
thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the
account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by
notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage;
provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The
Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative by
promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s);
provided that CBFR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to
the Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the
Administrative Agent.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may
assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with
paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact
made its share of the applicable
- 32 -
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal
Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the
interest rate applicable to CBFR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing.
SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections.
(a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable
Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an
initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower
Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such
Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods
therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different
options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each
such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective
Advances, which may not be converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall
notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or by electronic transmission
of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and
signed by the Borrower Representative, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be
required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each
such Interest Election Request (whether telephonic or by electronic transmission) shall be
irrevocable and each telephonic request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery,
facsimile, or electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest
Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower
Representative.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i) the Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request
applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different
portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
(in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv)
below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a CBFR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and
(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period
to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a
period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
- 33 -
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative
Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each
resulting Borrowing.
(e) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request
with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of
such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower
Representative, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding
Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii)
unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to a CBFR Borrowing at
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase in Revolving
Commitments.
(a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in
full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any
Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or
alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the
Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a
back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 103% of
the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees,
and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments;
provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount
that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the
Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any
concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the sum of the
Revolving Exposures would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the
Borrowing Base.
(d) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election
to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least
three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying
such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice
delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower
Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other
credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative
(by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such
condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be
permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Commitments.
- 34 -
(e) The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitment by
obtaining additional Revolving Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or
another lending institution provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a
minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrower,
may make a maximum of 3 such requests, (iii) the Administrative Agent has approved the
identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iv) any
such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (v)
the procedure described in Section 2.09(f) have been satisfied.
(f) Any supplement hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written
signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lender(s) being added or
increasing their Commitment, subject only to the approval of all Lenders if any such
increase would cause the Revolving Commitment to exceed $65,000,000. As a condition
precedent to such an increase, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a
certificate of each Loan Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an
authorized officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted
by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the
Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the
representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are
true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically
refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date,
and (B) no Default exists.
(g) Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase, the
Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Commitment
Schedule to reflect such increase and shall distribute such revised Commitment Schedule to
each of the Lenders and the Borrowers, whereupon such revised Commitment Schedule shall
replace the old Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement. On the Business Day
following any such increase, all outstanding CBFR Advances shall be reallocated among the
Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective
revised Applicable Percentages. Eurodollar Advances shall not be reallocated among the
Lenders prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of
any such increase.
SECTION 2.10. Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on
the Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each
Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative
Agent, and (iii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal amount of each
Overadvance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent.
(b) At all times that Full Cash Dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 5.12(d), on
each Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to the Collection
Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of
the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available) as follows: (i) if no Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time, first to prepay any
Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, second to
prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans), third to cash collateralize
outstanding LC Exposure, and fourth the balance, if any, to the Borrowers’ general
operating account; or (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at
such time, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18(b).
(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each
Loan
- 35 -
made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid
to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of
any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and
each Lender’s share thereof.
(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of
this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of
the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.
(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In
such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory
note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender
and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter,
the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
(including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more
promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such
promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.
(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (f) of
this Section.
(b) Except for Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05, in the event and on such
occasion that the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving
Commitments or (B) the Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans, LC
Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
(c) At all times that Full Cash Dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 5.12(d), the
Borrowers shall prepay the Loans and cash collateralize the LC Exposure in accordance with
Section 2.10(b).
(d) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on
behalf of a Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrowers shall, immediately
after such Net Proceeds are received by such Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth
in Section 2.11(e) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds,
provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the
definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if the Borrower Representative shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Loan
Parties intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in
such certificate), within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire (or
replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory)
to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, and certifying that no Default has occurred
and is continuing, then either (i) so long as Full Cash Dominion is not in effect pursuant
to Section 5.12(d), no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of
the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate or (ii) if Full Cash Dominion is in effect
pursuant to Section 5.12(d), if the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate are to be
applied by (A) the Borrowers, then such Net Proceeds
- 36 -
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reduce the outstanding principal
balance of the Revolving Loans (without a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitment)
and upon such application, the Administrative Agent shall establish a Reserve against the
Borrowing Base in an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds so applied and (B) any Loan
Party that is not a Borrower, then such Net Proceeds shall be deposited in a cash collateral
account and in either case, thereafter, such funds shall be made available to the applicable
Loan Party as follows:
(1) the Borrower Representative shall request a Revolving Loan (specifying
that the request is to use Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section) or the applicable Loan
Party shall request a release from the cash collateral account be made in the amount needed;
(2) so long as the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 have been met, the
Revolving Lenders shall make such Revolving Loan or the Administrative Agent shall release
funds from the cash collateral account; and
(3) in the case of Net Proceeds applied against the Revolving Loan, the
Reserve established with respect to such insurance proceeds shall be reduced by the amount
of such Revolving Loan;
provided that to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so
applied by the end of such 180-day period, at which time a prepayment shall be required in an
amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied; provided, further
that the Borrowers shall not be permitted to make elections to use Net Proceeds to acquire (or
replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) with
respect to Net Proceeds in any fiscal year in an aggregate amount in excess of $5,000,000.
(e) All such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(d) shall be applied, first to
prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, and
second to prepay the Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) without a
corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and to cash collateralize outstanding LC
Exposure.
(f) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the
case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by
facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before the
date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a CBFR Revolving Borrowing, not
later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each
such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal
amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a
notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the
Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked
if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any
Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance
of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a
Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.13.
SECTION 2.12. Fees.
(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue during the period from and including the
Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments
terminate, which
- 37 -
commitment fee shall be calculated based upon the Applicable Rate on the average daily
amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender for the immediately preceding
month. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each
calendar month and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on
the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days
elapsed.
(b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of
Credit, which shall accrue during the period from and including the Effective Date to but
excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and
the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, which participation
fee shall accrue at the rate separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the
rate separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Issuing Bank during the period
from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination
of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as
well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees
and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be
payable on the first day of each calendar month following such last day, commencing on the
first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall
be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees
accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any
other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10
days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.
(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees
payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent.
(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available
funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to
it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders.
Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION 2.13. Interest.
(a) The Loans comprising each CBFR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear
interest at the CB Floating Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall bear interest at the CB Floating
Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans plus 2%.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to
the Borrower Representative (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required
Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender
affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear
interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding
paragraphs of this Section or
- 38 -
(ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at
2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.
(e) Accrued interest on each Loan (for CBFR Loans, accrued through the last day of the
prior calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such
Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of
any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a CBFR Revolving Loan
prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount
repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in
the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of
such conversion.
(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and
shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The CB Floating Rate, Adjusted LIBO
Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any
Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the
Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO
Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or
its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the
Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances
giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the
conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a CBFR Borrowing.
SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by,
any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the
Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other
condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of
Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to
increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining
any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or
the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will
pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case
- 39 -
may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as
the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding
capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by
the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in
Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies
of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case
may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the
Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall
pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall
not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing
Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof.
SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable
thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan
other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow,
convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is
revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower
Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate
each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar
Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by
such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would
have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of
the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate
which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits
of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any
Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and shall be conclusive
- 40 -
absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.17. Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes; provided that if the Borrowers shall be required to deduct any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank
(as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers
shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any
penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such
payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender or the Issuing
Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the
Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank shall indemnify the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, against any and all
Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy,
inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered to the Borrowers or
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(f). Each Lender and the Issuing Bank
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any
time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this
Section 2.17(d).
(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is located, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement
shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at
the time or times prescribed
- 41 -
by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.
(g) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it
has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section
2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest
or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay
such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other
information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other
Person.
SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts
payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on
the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative
Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at its offices at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, except
payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided
herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made
directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any
such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise provided in the
definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not
a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day,
and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the
period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.
(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not
constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable
under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) a
mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts
to be applied from the Collection Account when Full Cash Dominion is in effect (which shall
be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so
direct, such funds shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or
expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the
Issuing Bank from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap
Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the
Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap
Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Overadvances and
Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the Overadvances and Protective
Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the
Overadvances and Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the
Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) and
- 42 -
unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, seventh, to pay an amount to the
Administrative Agent equal to one hundred three percent (103%) of the aggregate undrawn face
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC
Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to
payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations, and
ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless a Default is in
existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it
receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the
Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the
extent, that there are no outstanding CBFR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event,
the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16.
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to
apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the
Secured Obligations.
(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest,
LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all
reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under
the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made
following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed
request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any
Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably
authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each
payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due
under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans
(including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a
Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section
9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to
Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any
deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of
principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the
Loan Documents.
(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in
the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so
that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance
with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC
Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary
or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each
Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under
applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such
Borrower in the amount of such participation.
- 43 -
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment
on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to
the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the
Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank,
as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation.
(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder,
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated
account as cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future funding
obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above
shall be made in such order as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in its
discretion.”
SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in
the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment).
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender) pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse
(in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank),
which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in
LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts)
and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will
result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to
make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
- 44 -
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply
for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);
(b) the Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be
included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take
any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section
9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all
Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other
affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;
(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a
Defaulting Lender then:
(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be
reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC
Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving
Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such
time; and
(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice
by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second,
cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any
partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting
Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.20(c), the Borrowers shall not be required
to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC
Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to
Section 2.20(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and
Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’
Applicable Percentages; or
(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor
reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or
remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that
otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to
the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC
Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to
such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such
LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;
- 45 -
(d) The Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of
Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the
Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the
Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly
issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a
manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate
therein); and
(e) in the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers,
the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline
Exposure and LC Exposure of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion
of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par
such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative
Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in
accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
SECTION 2.21. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to
the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for
any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or
application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or
voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other
reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not
been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21
shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The
provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

each parcel of real property that is owned or leased by each Loan Party. Each of such
leases and subleases is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms and is in full
force and effect, and no default by any party to any such lease or sublease exists. Each of

any material respect upon the rights of any other Person, and the Loan Parties’ rights
thereto are not subject to any licensing agreement or similar arrangement.
SECTION 3.06. Litigation and Environmental Matters.
(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or
Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened
against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is
a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined,
could reasonably be
- 47 -
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve this Agreement or the Transactions.
(b) Except for (i) the Disclosed Matters and (ii) any other matters that, individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (A) has received notice of any claim with
respect to any Environmental Liability or knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability
or (B) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. Each Loan Party and its
Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property and all
indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the
failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries
is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company
Act of 1940.

faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable,
has set aside on its books adequate reserves or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could
not be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No tax liens have been filed and no claims
are being asserted with respect to any such taxes.
SECTION 3.10. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur
that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably
expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The
present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used
for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the
most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the
assets of such Plan by such an amount as could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. Each of the Borrowers and Holdings has disclosed to the
Lenders all liabilities or obligations of the Loan Parties under any agreements, instruments or

certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement
of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with
respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers and Holdings represent only that such
information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time
delivered and, if such projected financial information was delivered prior to the Effective Date,
as of the Effective Date.

any Loan Party is a party or is bound as of the date of this Agreement are listed on Schedule
3.12. No Loan Party
- 48 -
is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in (i) any material agreement to which it is a party or (ii) any
agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Material Indebtedness.
SECTION 3.13. Solvency.
(a) Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Effective
Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, at a
fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Loan Parties, on a
consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the
probable liability of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Loan
Parties, on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay its debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and

times:(i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and

ARTICLE VIII.
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent
as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including
execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers
in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or
other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any
duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is
required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall
not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the
bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the
request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge
of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or
have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or
in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan
Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or
any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on
the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set
forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items
expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for
relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other
writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and
believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying
thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts
- 73 -
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in
this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the
Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor. If no successor
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such
commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers
to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03 shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them
while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on
behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or
warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the
information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report
and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not
comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will
inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the
Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and
that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the
Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the
Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this
Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained
in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative
Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions,
proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees)
incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of
any Report through the indemnifying Lender.
- 74 -
Neither the Sole Bookrunner nor the Sole Lead Arranger have any right, power, obligation,
liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders
as such.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in
exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under
any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to
any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same
shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of
such Default at the time.

thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement,

or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan

consent of such Lender (provided that the Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances
as set forth in Section 2.04), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or
fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or
LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations
payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone
the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each
Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would
alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender,

except as provided in clauses (d) and (e) of this Section or in any Collateral Document,
release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each
Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to
Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and
the Issuing Bank). The Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule
to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.
- 76 -
(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option
and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the
Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the all Commitments, payment and
satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated
Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner
satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of
if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the
sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the
Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further
inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of
the Equity Interest of any Loan Party that is Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is
authorized to release any Loan Guaranty provided by such Loan Party, (iii) constituting
property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a
transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other
disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral
without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the
Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the
aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during any fiscal year without the prior written
authorization of the Required Lenders. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge,
affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released)
upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan
Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part
of the Collateral.
(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the
consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required
Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such
Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a
“Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting
Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such
replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash
the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment
and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume
all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply
with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to
such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all
interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by
the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without
limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2)
an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day
of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been
prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.
SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication

administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter
of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred

- 77 -
and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in
connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses of the Administrative Agent that the
Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse under this Section include, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:
(i) appraisals (subject to the limits set forth in Section 5.11(a);
(ii) insurance reviews;
(iii) field examinations (subject to the limits set forth in Section 5.11(b))
and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by
the Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by
the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination;
(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien and title searches and title
insurance and (B) recording the Mortgages, filing financing statements and
continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative
Agent’s Liens;
(v) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under
the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and
(vi) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and
establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of
preserving and protecting the Collateral.
All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to
another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c).
(b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each
such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, incremental taxes, liabilities and
related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement
or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other
transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment
under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not
strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged
presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any
Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to
any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of the Borrowers to deliver to
the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with
respect to a payment made by the Borrowers for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17(a), (b), (c),
(e), (f) or (g), or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that
such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction
- 78 -
by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity
payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or
indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be,
was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the
Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
proceeds thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand
therefor.
SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including
any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the
Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
(other than in connection with a transaction permitted by Section 6.03(a)) without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers
without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted
hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may
assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to
it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:
(A) the Borrower Representative, provided that no consent of the Borrower
Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an
Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;
(B) the Administrative Agent; and
(C) the Issuing Bank.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of
- 79 -
any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(B) 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;
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500; and
(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more Credit
Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public
information about the Company, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their
respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in
accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal
and state securities laws.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” shall mean any
Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or
investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its
business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender
or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations
of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and shall continue to
be liable for any obligations of such Lender under Section 2.17(d)). Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not
comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans
and LC Disbursements 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 Borrowers, the
Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.
- 80 -
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by
an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the
assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be
made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and
Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such
payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been
recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more
banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in 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 owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will
not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or
waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such
Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were
a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though
it were a Lender.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior
written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower
Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(f)
as though it were a Lender.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including
without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank,
and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a
Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for
such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in
- 81 -
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered
to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery
of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless
of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and
shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any
Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any
Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The
provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full
force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the
repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments
or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect
to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any
time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or such
Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and
the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give
or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application
under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law
provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks.
(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or

recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by
law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by
suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts
of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest
extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this
Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.
SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES
HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS
AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used
herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
and the Lenders 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,

that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will 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, (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Laws or by any subpoena
or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or

agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any
assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations,
(g) with the consent of the Borrower Representative, or (h) to the extent such Information (i)
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender
- 83 -
on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. For the purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the
Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from the
Borrowers after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in
this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such
Person would accord to its own confidential information.
EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT
TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING HOLDINGS AND ITS
AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS
DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT
WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE
LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT HOLDINGS, THE
LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER
REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS
ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING
FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to
make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or
looking to any margin stock for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any
Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of any Requirement of Law.
SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of
the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the

required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information
includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender
to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.
SECTION 9.15. Disclosure Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby acknowledges and
agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments
in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their
respective Affiliates.
SECTION 9.16. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other
Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other
applicable law can be
- 84 -
perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain
possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and,
promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the
Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative
Agent’s instructions.
SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges
and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the
“Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be
contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance
with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with
all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not
payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not

delivered a separate Guaranty) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders, the prompt payment when due, whether at
stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured
Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and
attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and
expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in
endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any
action against, any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the
Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively
the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed
Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from
it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All
terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign
branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 10.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and
not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank or any Lender to xxx any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any
other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated
Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of
the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 10.03. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.
(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor
hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release,
extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate
existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person
liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or
any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the
existence of
- 85 -
any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against
any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other
person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any
provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated
Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or
impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to
all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or
supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii)
any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the
obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or
performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission
or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or
that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or
equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).
SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any
Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any
Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance
hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not
provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person
against any Obligated Party, or any other person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a
surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations
hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it
by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu
of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a
part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations,
make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy
available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the
liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed
Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though
that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated
Party or any security.
SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim
or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or
indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties
and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank and the Lenders.
SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of
any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
upon the
- 86 -
insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s
obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time
as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for
payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms
of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan
Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.
SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being
and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other
circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature,
scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty,
and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any
duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or
risks.
SECTION 10.08. Termination. The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit
to the Borrowers based on this Loan Guaranty until five days after it receives written notice of
termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan
Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed
or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals,
extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of
that Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 10.09. Taxes. All payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by
each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary
so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
SECTION 10.10. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are
severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal
or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors
generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be
held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan
Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by
the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that
is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined
hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”. This Section with
respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights
of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan
Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with
respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any
Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor
agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum
Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and
remedies of the Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be
construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.
SECTION 10.11. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying
Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any
loss as a result of any
- 87 -
realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan
Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to
such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of
such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this
Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such
payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or
loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of
such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution
hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the
aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the
date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum
Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date
(without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder),
or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the
aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the date
hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall
affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations
(up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees
that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor
shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agent, the
Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all
of them in accordance with the terms hereof.
SECTION 10.12. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan
Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of
each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations
or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the
instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the
contrary.
ARTICLE XI.
The Borrower Representative
SECTION 11.01. Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Company is hereby appointed
by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower
Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers
irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such
Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.
The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express
conditions contained in this Article XI. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower
Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding
Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the
appropriate Borrower, provided that, in the case of a Revolving Loan, such amount shall not exceed
such Borrower’s Availability. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective
officers, directors, agents or employees, shall not be liable to the Borrower Representative or any
Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the
Borrowers pursuant to this Section 11.01.
SECTION 11.02. Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such
powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the
terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the
Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents
to be taken by the Borrower Representative.
- 88 -
SECTION 11.03. Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of
its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through
authorized officers.
SECTION 11.04. Notices. Each Borrower shall immediately notify the Borrower
Representative of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder referring to this
Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default.” In the event that the Borrower Representative receives such a notice, the Borrower
Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any
notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower
on the date received by the Borrower Representative.
SECTION 11.05. Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to
be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent
shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Lenders.
SECTION 11.06. Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate. The
Borrowers hereby empower and authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the Loan Documents and all related
agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect
the purposes of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Borrowing Base Certificates
and the Compliance Certificates. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower
Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or
herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding
upon all of the Borrowers.
SECTION 11.07. Reporting. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower shall
furnish promptly after each fiscal month to the Borrower Representative a copy of its Borrowing
Base Certificate and any other certificate or report required hereunder or requested by the
Borrower Representative on which the Borrower Representative shall rely to prepare the Borrowing
Base Certificates and Compliance Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement.
- 89 -
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

This Compliance Certificate is furnished pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the Administrative Agent for the Lenders and as the Issuing Bank.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Compliance Certificate have the
meanings ascribed thereto in the Agreement.
THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY CERTIFIES, ON ITS BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWERS, THAT:
1. I am the duly elected [ ] of the Borrower Representative;
2. Attached as Schedule I hereto are the [audited] consolidated financial statements
of Holdings and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal [year/quarter/month] ended [___] {the
“Accounting Period”) required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01[_] of the Credit
Agreement. I have reviewed the terms of the Agreement and I have made, or have caused to be made
under my supervision, a detailed review of the transactions and conditions of the Company and its
Subsidiaries during the Accounting Period [for quarterly or monthly financial statements add: and
such financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and
results of operations of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to (i) normal year-end audit adjustments and the
absence of footnotes and (ii) those exceptions to GAAP as shall be expressly identified in such
financial statements];
3. The examinations described in paragraph 2 did not disclose, except as set forth below, and
I have no knowledge of (i) the existence of any condition or event which constitutes a Default
during or at the end of the Accounting Period or as of the date of this Certificate or (ii) any
change in GAAP or in the application thereof that has occurred since the date of the audited
financial statements referred to in Section 3.04 of the Agreement;
4. I hereby certify that no Loan Party has changed (i) its name, (ii) its chief executive
office, (iii) principal place of business, (iv) the type of entity it is, (v) its organization
identification number, if any, issued by its state of incorporation or other organization or (v)
its state of incorporation or organization without having given the Agent the notice required by
Section 4.15 of the Security Agreement; and
5. Set forth on Schedule II attached hereto is a true, correct and complete
calculation of the Loan Parties’ Available Liquidity during the period of two consecutive fiscal
quarters most recently ended prior to the date of this Compliance Certificate. During the
Accounting Period, the Loan Parties have complied with each of the requirements set forth in
Sections 6.04(c), 6.04(d) and 6.04(e).
Exhibit C
6. Check one of the following options based upon (i) whether a Fixed Charge Coverage Covenant
Period is in effect as described in Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) whether the
Borrowers had LC Exposure equal to or in excess of $20,000,000, or outstanding Revolving Loans, or
both:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o
|
|
As of the last day of the Accounting Period, a Fixed Charge Coverage
Covenant Period is in effect, and therefore, the Loan Parties are required to
comply with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.12
of the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the attached Schedule III sets
forth financial data and computations evidencing the Loan Parties’ compliance
with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in Section 6.12 of the
Agreement, all of which data and computations are true, complete and correct. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o
|
|
As of the last day of the Accounting Period, a Fixed Charge Coverage
Covenant Period is not in effect, and therefore, the Loan Parties are not
required to comply with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set forth in
Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding such fact, as of the last
day of the Accounting Period, [the Borrowers had LC Exposure equal to or in
excess of $20,000,000] / [the Borrowers had outstanding Revolving Loans] / [the
Borrowers had LC Exposure equal to or in excess of $20,000,000, and outstanding
Revolving Loans]. Accordingly, the attached Schedule III sets forth
(for informational purposes only) financial data and computations evidencing
the Loan Parties’ compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant set
forth in Section 6.12 of the Agreement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o
|
|
As of the last day of the Accounting Period, a Fixed Charge Coverage
Covenant Period is not in effect, and therefore, the Loan Parties are not

Exposure less than $20,000,000 and no outstanding Revolving Loans. Accordingly,
the Loan Parties are not required to set forth financial data and computations
evidencing the Loan Parties’ compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
covenant set forth in Section 6.12 of the Agreement. |

NOTES:
American Enterprises MPT L.P.
This entity is the owner of record of a pair of Canadian registrations. The changes in the
company’s name from American Enterprises MPT L.P. to Ameridrives International L.P. (on 04/25/1997)
and later from Ameridrives International L.P. to Ameridrives International LLC (on 12/21/2005) have
not yet been recorded against the registrations.
Xxxx Corporation
This entity is the owner of record of an Indian trademark registration for “WARNER ELECTRIC.” The
assignment of the registration from Xxxx Corporation to Warner Electric Technology, Inc. and the
subsequent name change from Warner Electric Technology, Inc. to Warner Electric Technology LLC have
been submitted for recordation. Xxxx Corporation is also the owner of record of a Canadian
trademark registration for “DISC-O-TORQUE” relating to XX Xxxxx. No action has been taken to
address the change in ownership of this registration in view of instructions given in 2000 to a
prior law firm for XX Xxxxx to allow the registration to lapse (the registration actually remains
in force until 2015.
Xxxxxxx Power Transmission Corp.
This entity is the owner of record on a Mexican registration for “GFR.” Assignments from Xxxxxxx
Power Transmission Corp. to Xxxx Holdings GmbH and from Xxxx Holdings GmbH to Warner Electric
Technology LLC have been submitted for recordation and the process is ongoing.
IMO Industries, Inc.
This entity is the owner of record on a pair of Mexican registrations for “BOSTON GEAR”. An
assignment of the Mexican registrations to Boston Gear LLC is in the process of being recorded.
Warner Electric Technology, Inc.
A number of patents and trademarks owned by Warner Electric Technology LLC remain in the former
name (Warner Electric Technology, Inc.) of the company on the records of various foreign patent and
trademark offices. Efforts to record the change in name are in progress with respect to some of
the patents and trademarks. For others, a conscious decision was made to hold off on recordation
pending some other action relating to the property (e.g., the next renewal of a trademark
registration). For yet others, a decision was made not to record the change in name in view of a
decision to allow various registrations or patents to lapse).
