If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and Borrower, Agent or Requisite Lenders shall so request, Agent, Lenders and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of Requisite Lenders), provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and Borrower shall provide to Agent and Lenders reconciliation statements provided for in subsection 6.1(v).

Section 2. AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS AND LOANS

2.1 Commitments; Making of Loans; the Register; Notes.

A. Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower herein set forth, each Lender having a Revolving Loan Commitment hereby severally agrees to make the Loans described in this subsection 2.1A.

     (i)    [Reserved].

     (ii)   Revolving Loan Commitments. Each Lender severally agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below, to lend to Borrower from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date an aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments to be used for the purposes identified in subsection 2.5A. The original amount of each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment is set forth opposite its name on Schedule 2.1 annexed hereto and the aggregate original amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments is $250,000,000; provided that the Revolving Loan Commitments of Lenders shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignments of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to subsection 10.1B; and provided, further that the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be reduced from time to time by the amount of any reductions thereto made pursuant to subsection 2.4 or 6.4C and increased from time to time by the amount of any increases thereto made pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iii). Each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Revolving Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be paid in full no later than that date. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.4A, amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(ii) may be repaid and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

          Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be subject to the limitations that, (a) after giving effect to any requested Revolving Loan, no Borrowing Limitation shall be exceeded, and (b) the aggregate amount of all Revolving Loans that are Foreign Currency Loans shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $25,000,000.

     (iii)   “Additional Revolving Loan Commitments.” Provided that each Lender has consented to this Agreement: at any time, so long as no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Consolidated Borrowing Base is not less than the Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to the proposed increase, Borrower may, by notice to the Agent, request that, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Lenders and/or other financial institutions not then a party to this Agreement that are approved by the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) provide additional Revolving Loan Commitments; provided that (1) such additional Revolving Loan Commitments shall not exceed an aggregate amount of $75,000,000 and (2) Company shall deliver to Agent an Officer's Certificate (a) detailing all Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Indebtedness under this Agreement) which Company has classified as being incurred pursuant to clause (1) of paragraph (b) of Section 4.03 of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture, (b) specifying the manner in which Company intends to classify the increase in Indebtedness being requested by Company pursuant to this subsection 2.1A(iii), which classification shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Agent, and (c) covenanting that, upon approval by Agent of any such classification, Company will not thereafter change the classification of any such item of Indebtedness under this Agreement without the prior approval of Agent. Upon receipt of such notice, Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange for the Lenders or other financial institutions acceptable to Agent to provide such additional Revolving Loan Commitments. Nothing contained in this subsection 2.1A(iii) or otherwise in this Agreement is intended to commit any Lender or Agent to provide any portion of any such additional Revolving Loan Commitments. If and to the extent that any Lenders and/or other financial institutions agree, in their sole discretion, to provide any such additional Revolving Loan Commitments, (a) any such financial institution not then a party to this Agreement shall execute a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and deliver originally executed copies of such signature page to Borrower and Agent, (b) the Revolving Loan Commitment amount shall be increased by the amount of the additional Revolving Loan Commitments agreed to be so provided, (c) the Pro Rata Shares of the respective Lenders in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be proportionally adjusted, (d) at such time and in such manner as Borrower and Agent shall agree (it being understood that Borrower and Agent will use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the prepayment or assignment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto), the Lenders shall assign and assume outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in outstanding Letters of Credit so as to cause the amount of such Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit held by each Lender to conform to the respective percentages of the applicable Revolving Loan Commitments of the Lenders and (e) Borrower shall execute and deliver any additional Notes or other amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as Agent may reasonably request.

     (iv)   Foreign Currency Loan Commitments. Each Foreign Currency Lender severally agrees, subject to the limitations set forth below, to make a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments available to Borrower from time to time during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date by making Foreign Currency Loans to Borrower in an aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments. The original amount of the Dollar Equivalent of each Foreign Currency Lender’s Foreign Currency Loan Commitment is set forth opposite its name on Schedule 2.1 annexed hereto (the Foreign Currency Loan Commitment of Fronting Lender being equal to the difference between (x) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments and (y) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments of the Foreign Currency Lenders other than the Fronting Lender, notwithstanding the fact that such Foreign Currency Loans, when aggregated with Fronting Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans and its Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage then in effect, may exceed Fronting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment). The aggregate original amount of the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments is $25,000,000; provided that the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments of Lenders shall be adjusted to give effect to any assignments of the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments pursuant to subsection 10.1B; and provided further that any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to subsection 2.4 or 6.4C which reduces the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments to an amount less than the then-current Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments to the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, as so reduced, without any further action on the part of Borrower, Agent or Lenders. Each Foreign Currency Lender’s Foreign Currency Loan Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and all Foreign Currency Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to Foreign Currency Loans and the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments shall be paid in full no later than that date. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.4A, amounts borrowed under this subsection 2.1A(iv) may be repaid and reborrowed to but excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

          Anything contained in this agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Foreign Currency Loans and the Foreign Currency Loan Commitments shall be subject to the limitations regarding the Revolving Loan Commitments set forth in subsection 2.1A(ii).

          No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this subsection 2.1A(iv), subsection 2.1A(v), or the definition of Approved Foreign Currency shall be effective without the written concurrence of each Foreign Currency Lender.

     (v)   Foreign Currency Participations. Each Lender that is not a Foreign Currency Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to purchase, a participation in each outstanding Foreign Currency Loan made by Fronting Lender in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the unpaid amount of such Foreign Currency Loan together with accrued interest thereon (each, a “Foreign Currency Participation”). Upon demand from Fronting Lender if any amount in respect of the principal or interest owing to such Fronting Lender is not paid when due in accordance with this Agreement, each such Lender (a “Foreign Currency Participant”) shall deliver to Fronting Lender an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of its respective Foreign Currency Participation in same day funds in U.S. Dollars at the Funding and Payment Office designated by Fronting Lender. If any amount required to be paid by any Foreign Currency Participant to Fronting Lender pursuant to this subsection 2.1A(v) is not paid to such Fronting Lender when due but is paid within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Foreign Currency Participant shall pay to Fronting Lender on demand (or, at Fronting Lender’s election, Fronting Lender may deduct from any interest payments made by Borrower in respect of the Foreign Currency Loan) an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the Overnight Rate in respect of the related Approved Foreign Currency determined by such Fronting Lender during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Fronting Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If such amount required to be paid by any Foreign Currency Participant pursuant to this subsection 2.1A(v) is not in fact made available to Fronting Lender by such Foreign Currency Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Foreign Currency Participant, on demand (or, at Fronting Lender’s election, Fronting Lender may deduct from any interest payments made by Borrower in respect of the Foreign Currency Loan), such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum equal to the rate applicable thereto in accordance with the preceding sentence plus the Eurodollar Rate Margin in respect of Eurodollar Rate Loans. A certificate of Fronting Lender submitted to any Foreign Currency Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 2.1A(v) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In the event Fronting Lender receives a payment with respect to any Foreign Currency Loan in which Foreign Currency Participations have been purchased and as to which the purchase price has been requested by Fronting Lender and delivered by a Foreign Currency Participant as provided in this subsection 2.1A(v), Fronting Lender shall promptly distribute to such Foreign Currency Participant its Pro Rata Share of such payment. If Fronting Lender shall pay any amount to a Foreign Currency Participant pursuant to this subsection 2.1A(v) in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received or collected and such related payment is not received or collected by Fronting Lender, then such Foreign Currency Participant will promptly on demand by Fronting Lender return such amount to Fronting Lender, together with interest thereon at such rate as Fronting Lender shall determine to be customary between banks for correction of errors. If Fronting Lender determines at any time that any amount received or collected by Fronting Lender pursuant to this Agreement is to be returned to Borrower under this Agreement or paid to any other Person or entity pursuant to any insolvency law, any sharing clause in this Agreement, or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Fronting Lender shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Foreign Currency Participant, and each such Foreign Currency Participant will promptly on demand by Fronting Lender repay any portion that Fronting Lender shall have distributed to such Foreign Currency Participant, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as Fronting Lender shall pay to Borrower or such other Person or entity with respect thereto. If any amounts returned to Borrower pursuant to this subsection 2.1A(v) are later recovered by Fronting Lender, Fronting Lender shall promptly pay to each Foreign Currency Participant a proportionate share based on such Foreign Currency Participant’s Foreign Currency Participation.

          If Fronting Lender incurs any costs or expenses (including, without limitation, in indemnifying Agent pursuant to subsection 9.4) in connection with any effort to enforce or protect rights or interests relating to a Foreign Currency Loan, then, other than in the case of Fronting Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, each Foreign Currency Participant will reimburse Fronting Lender on demand for each such Foreign Currency Participant’s proportionate share based on such Foreign Currency Participant's Foreign Currency Participation of any portion of such cost or expenses which is not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower. If Fronting Lender recovers any amount for which Fronting Lender has previously been reimbursed by a Foreign Currency Participant hereunder, Fronting Lender shall promptly distribute to each such Foreign Currency Participant such Foreign Currency Participant’s proportionate share thereof based on its Foreign Currency Participation.

          Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of each Foreign Currency Participant to purchase a Foreign Currency Participation in any unpaid Foreign Currency Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.1A(v) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (1) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Fronting Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default; (3) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (4) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. In no event shall the Foreign Currency Participation be construed as a loan or other extension of credit by a Lender to Fronting Lender.

     (vi)   Participation Fees. Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, with respect to Foreign Currency Loans, Foreign Currency Participants shall be entitled to receive as compensation a participation fee equal to such Foreign Currency Participant’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the excess of the interest received by Fronting Lender from the Borrower with respect to Foreign Currency Loans for the period for which the determination is being made over an amount equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate on such Foreign Currency Loans. In the even that such Foreign Currency Participant has funded its participation in a Foreign Currency Loan, Fronting Lender shall instead pay to such Foreign Currency Participant such amounts as are required pursuant to subsection 2.1A(v). All such participation fees shall be paid by Fronting Lender to Foreign Currency Participants in U.S. Dollars, quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter, calculated at the applicable Exchange Rate for the currency of the Loan as of the applicable date of determination.

B. Borrowing Mechanics. Revolving Loans made on any Funding Date (other than Revolving Loans made pursuant to subsection 3.3B) shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount; provided that Revolving Loans made on any Funding Date as Eurodollar Rate Loans with a particular Interest Period shall be (i) if denominated in U.S. Dollars, in an aggregate minimum amount of $2,000,000 and multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount or (ii) if denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency, in an aggregate minimum amount equal to the Approved Foreign Currency equivalent of $2,000,000 and multiples of approximately $250,000 in excess of that amount. Whenever Borrower desires that Lenders make Revolving Loans, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a Notice of Borrowing no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars), on the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Base Rate Loan), or at least four Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date (in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency). Revolving Loans may be continued as or converted into Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans in the manner provided in subsection 2.2D. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, Borrower may give Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed borrowing under this subsection 2.1B; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Borrowing to Agent on or before the applicable Funding Date.

Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to borrow on behalf of Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.1B or under subsection 2.2D, and upon funding of Loans by Daily Funding Lender and/or Lenders, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2D, in each case in accordance with this Agreement, pursuant to any such telephonic notice Borrower shall have effected Loans or a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

Borrower shall notify Agent prior to the funding of any Loans in the event that any of the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing is no longer true and correct as of the applicable Funding Date, and the acceptance by Borrower of the proceeds of any Loans shall constitute a re-certification by Borrower, as of the applicable Funding Date, as to the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.1C, 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of Borrowing for, or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing or to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

C. Disbursement of Funds.

     (i)   Subject to this subsection 2.1C and subsection 2.1D, all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender to make the particular type of Loan requested be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder.

     (ii)   Upon receipt by Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) for Revolving Loans that consist of Base Rate Loans and, subject to the provisions set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in subsection 4.2, Daily Funding Lender shall, without prior notice to the other Lenders, make such Revolving Loans for its own account on the applicable Funding Date (subject to settlement with the other Lenders in accordance with subsection 2.1D) by making the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to Borrower on such Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds equal to the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to be credited to the account of Borrower at the Funding and Payment Office. Such Revolving Loans shall constitute Revolving Loans by Daily Funding Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents, subject to settlement with the other Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.1D. All interest accrued on any such Revolving Loans from the date made by Daily Funding Lender to the Settlement Date with respect thereto shall be for Daily Funding Lender’s own account. Daily Funding Lender shall make Revolving Loans for its own account pursuant to this subsection 2.1C(ii) notwithstanding the fact that the principal amount of such Revolving Loans, when added to the aggregate principal amount of Daily Funding Lender’s Revolving Loans then outstanding, may exceed Daily Funding Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect; provided that such Revolving Loans shall at all times be Obligations owed to Daily Funding Lender under this Agreement; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans, including such Revolving Loans, outstanding at any time exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect minus the Letter of Credit Usage as of such time.

          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the conditions precedent specified in subsection 4.2 cannot be fulfilled with respect to any proposed Revolving Loans that consist of Base Rate Loans, Borrower shall, in its Notice of Borrowing or otherwise, give immediate written notice thereof (specifying the circumstances which prevent the conditions precedent from being fulfilled) to Agent, with a copy to each Lender, and Daily Funding Lender may (and each Lender hereby authorizes Daily Funding Lender to), but is not obligated to, continue to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans for 5 Business Days from the date Agent first receives such notice, or until sooner instructed by Requisite Lenders to cease making such Revolving Loans (the “Daily Funding Lender Discretionary Period”); provided, however, that the aggregate outstanding amount of such Revolving Loans made by Daily Funding Lender shall not exceed $25,000,000 at any time. Once notice is given by Borrower that circumstances exist which prevent the conditions precedent to borrowing from being fulfilled, no additional notice with respect to the same circumstances will be effective to commence a new Daily Funding Lender Discretionary Period.

     (iii)   Promptly after receipt by Agent of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to subsection 2.1B (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) for any Loans (other than for Revolving Loans that consist of Base Rate Loans), Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall, subject to the next paragraph, make the amount of its Loan available to Agent, in the currency of such Loan, at the Funding and Payment Office, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date. Except as provided in subsection 3.3B with respect to Revolving Loans used to reimburse any Issuing Lender for the amount of a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, and, subject to the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified in subsection 4.2, Agent shall make the proceeds of such Loans available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by causing an amount of same day funds in the currency of such Loans equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of Borrower at the Funding and Payment Office.

          Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the Funding Date for any Loans pursuant to this subsection 2.1C that such Lender does not intend to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Funding Date, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such Funding Date and Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such Funding Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Agent, at the customary rate set by Agent for the correction of errors among banks, but not to exceed the Federal Funds Effective Rate, for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Agent’s demand therefor, Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this subsection 2.1C shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

D. Settlement Procedures.

     (i)   Daily Funding Lender will from time to time notify the other Lenders, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York time) (a) on at least one Business Day during each seven calendar-day period, (b) on each date on which payment of interest on any Revolving Loans is required to be made pursuant to subsection 2.2C, (c) on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, and (d) at such other times as Daily Funding Lender in its discretion may determine (each such notice by Daily Funding Lender being a “Settlement Notice” and the date of each Settlement Notice being a “Settlement Date”) of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by Daily Funding Lender and each other Lender as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Settlement Date. In determining the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans for purposes of calculating any Excess Funded Amount pursuant to subsection 2.1D(ii) below or any Excess Paydown Amount pursuant to subsection 2.1D(iii) below, any Foreign Currency Loan shall be excluded.

     (ii)   If a Settlement Notice indicates that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by Daily Funding Lender (including Revolving Loans made for its own account pursuant to subsection 2.1C(ii)) is in excess of Daily Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by all Lenders (the amount of such excess being the “Excess Funded Amount”), each other Lender will, not later than 4:00 P.M. (New York time) on the applicable Settlement Date, pay to Daily Funding Lender, by depositing same day funds in the account specified by Daily Funding Lender at the Funding and Payment Office, an amount equal to such Lender’s Adjusted Pro Rata Share of the Excess Funded Amount, upon which payment Daily Funding Lender shall be deemed to have sold, and such Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, as of the applicable Settlement Date, a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans made by Daily Funding Lender for its own account pursuant to subsection 2.1C(ii) on or after the immediately preceding Settlement Date equal to such Lender’s Adjusted Pro Rata Share of the Excess Funded Amount. The obligation of each Lender to purchase a portion of any Revolving Loan made by Daily Funding Lender as provided in this subsection 2.1D(ii) is subject to the condition that at the time such Revolving Loan was made by Daily Funding Lender (a) the duly authorized officer of Daily Funding Lender responsible for the administration of Daily Funding Lender’s credit relationship with Borrower believed in good faith that either (X) no Event of Default had occurred and was continuing or (Y) any Event of Default that had occurred and was continuing had been waived by Requisite Lenders at the time such Revolving Loan was made or (b) a Daily Funding Lender Discretionary Period was in effect.

     (iii)   If a Settlement Notice indicates that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by Daily Funding Lender is less than Daily Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans made by all Lenders (the amount of such difference being the “Excess Paydown Amount”), Daily Funding Lender will, no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York time) on the applicable Settlement Date, unconditionally pay to each other Lender, by depositing same day funds in the account specified by such Lender to Daily Funding Lender, an amount equal to such Lender’s Adjusted Pro Rata Share of the Excess Paydown Amount, upon which payment such Lender shall be deemed to have sold, and Daily Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, as of the applicable Settlement Date, a portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lender equal to such Lender’s Adjusted Pro Rata Share of the Excess Paydown Amount.

     (iv)   Except as provided in subsection 2.1D(ii), the obligations of Daily Funding Lender and each other Lender pursuant to subsections 2.1D(ii) and 2.1D(iii) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Agent or any Lender may have against Agent, any other Lender, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any breach of this Agreement by Borrower, Agent or any Lender; or (e) any other circumstance, happening, or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. In the event that any Person (the “Payor”) obligated to make a payment to any other Person (the “Payee”) pursuant to this subsection 2.1D fails to make available to the Payee the amount of such payment required to be made by the Payor, the Payee shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from the Payor together with interest at the customary rate set by DBTCA for the correction of errors among Lenders for three Business Days and thereafter at the sum of the Base Rate plus 1.50% per annum.

     (v)   In the event that all or any portion of any repayment of principal of the Revolving Loans is thereafter recovered by or on behalf of Borrower from Daily Funding Lender (including any such recovery in a proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect) in an amount that is proportionately greater (based on the respective Pro Rata Shares of Lenders) than any such recovery from the other Lenders, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by subsection 10.5.

E. The Register. Agent, acting for these purposes solely as an agent of Borrower (it being acknowledged that Agent, in such capacity, and its officers, directors, employees, agent and affiliates shall constitute Indemnitees under subsection 10.3), shall maintain (and make available for inspection by Borrower and Lenders upon reasonable prior notice at reasonable times) at its address referred to in subsection 10.8 a register for the recordation of, and shall record, the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Loan Commitment and Revolving Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof; all amounts owed with respect to any Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof; and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. Each Lender shall record on its internal records the amount of its Loans and Commitments and each payment in respect hereof, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error, subject to the entries in the Register, which shall, absent manifest error, govern in the event of any inconsistency with any Lender’s records. Failure to make any recordation in the Register or in any Lender’s records, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Loans or Commitments or any Obligations in respect of any Loans.

F. Notes. Borrower shall execute and deliver on or prior to the Closing Date to Lenders (or to Agent for Lenders) Revolving Notes substantially in the form of Exhibit IV annexed hereto to evidence each Lender’s Revolving Loans, in the principal amount of that Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, and with other appropriate insertions.

2.2 Interest on the Loans.

A. Rate of Interest. Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.6 and 2.7, each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate determined by reference to, in the case of Loans, the Base Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Revolving Loan shall be selected by Borrower initially at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given with respect to such Loan pursuant to subsection 2.1B (subject to the last sentence of subsection 2.1B), and the basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Revolving Loan may be changed from time to time pursuant to subsection 2.2D (subject to the last sentence of subsection 2.1B); provided, however, that each Foreign Currency Loan shall bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with respect to its currency of denomination. If on any day a Revolving Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been delivered to Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day that Loan shall bear interest determined by reference to the Base Rate.

     (i)    [Reserved].

     (ii)   Subject to the provisions of subsections 2.2E, 2.2G and 2.7, the Revolving Loans shall bear interest through maturity as follows:

          (a)   if a Base Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin set forth in the table below opposite the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four Fiscal Quarter period for which the applicable Pricing Certificate has been delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv); or

          (b)   if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, then at the sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Eurodollar Rate Margin set forth in the table below opposite the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four Fiscal Quarter period for which the applicable Pricing Certificate has been delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv):

Consolidated Leverage Ratio	Eurodollar Rate Margin	Base Rate Margin
Greater than or equal to 3.0x	3.25%	2.25%
Greater than or equal to 2.5x but less than 3.0x	3.00%	2.00%
Greater than or equal to 2.0x but less than 2.5	2.75%	1.75%
Less than 2.0x	2.25%	1.25%

provided that if each Lender has consented to this Agreement, the table set forth immediately above shall thereupon be replaced with the following:

Consolidated Leverage Ratio	Eurodollar Rate Margin	Base Rate Margin
Greater than or equal to 3.0x	3.25%	2.25%
Greater than or equal to 2.5x but less than 3.0x	3.00%	2.00%
Greater than or equal to 2.0x but less than 2.5x	2.75%	1.75%
Greater than or equal to 1.5x but less than 2.0x	2.25%	1.25%
Greater than or equal to 1.0x but less than 1.5x	2.00%	1.00%
Less than 1.0x	1.75%	0.75%

provided further that, prior to the Effective Date, the Eurodollar Rate Margin and the Base Rate Margin shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Original Credit Agreement and on and after the Effective Date, the Eurodollar Rate Margin and the Base Rate Margin shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided further that, until the delivery of the Pricing Certificate for the Fiscal Year ending on or about October 31, 2002, the applicable margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be 3.00% per annum and Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall be 2.00% per annum.

(iii) Upon delivery of the Pricing Certificate by Borrower to Agent pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv), the Base Rate Margin and the Eurodollar Rate Margin shall automatically be adjusted in accordance with such Pricing Certificate, such adjustment to become effective on the next succeeding Business Day following the receipt by Agent of such Pricing Certificate (subject to the provisions of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)); provided that, if at any time (a) a Pricing Certificate is not delivered at the time required pursuant to subsection 6.1(iv), from the time such Pricing Certificate was required to be delivered until delivery of such Pricing Certificate, or (b) an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, such applicable margins shall be the maximum percentage amount for the relevant Loan set forth above.

B. Interest Periods. In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan, Borrower may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation delivered by Borrower, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Borrower’s option, either a one, two, three, or, subject to Lenders’ approval, six month period, or such shorter period as may be designated in the Notice of Borrowing with respect to Foreign Currency Loans; provided that:

     (i)   the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan;

     (ii)   in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

     (iii)   if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

     (iv)   except with respect to a Foreign Currency Loan with an Interest Period of less than one month (or an integral multiple thereof), any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection 2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

     (v)   no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date;

     (vi)   there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding at any time; and

     (vii)   in the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation delivered by Borrower, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.

C. Interest Payments. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity (including final maturity); provided that in the event any Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i), interest accrued on such Revolving Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity); and provided further that if market practice differs as to Foreign Currency Loans, Agent in its discretion may notify Borrower and the Lenders of such other market practice and upon such notification, interest on such Foreign Currency Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with such market practice.

D. Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6, Borrower shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or any part of its outstanding Base Rate Loans equal to $2,000,000 and multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount from Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $2,000,000 and multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless Borrower pays on such conversion date all amounts owing to Lenders under subsection 2.6D; and provided further that no Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and then reborrowed in the other currency.

Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Agent no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars) and at least four Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency). Agent is its discretion may notify Borrower and the Lenders of such other market practice and upon such notification. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower may give Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation date. Upon receipt of written or telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D, Agent shall promptly transmit such notice by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender of the Loan subject to the Notice of Conversion/Continuation.

E. Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and any fees and other amounts then due and payable hereunder, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Insolvency Laws) payable upon demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans); provided that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this subsection 2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agent or any Lender.

F. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan; and provided further that if market practice differs as to Foreign Currency Loans, Agent in its discretion may notify Borrower and the Lenders of such other market practice and upon such notification, interest on such Foreign Currency Loans shall be calculated in accordance with such market practice.

G. Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with all applicable usury laws, whether now existing or hereafter enacted. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to the Obligations of Borrower to the Lenders, in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness of Borrower to the Lenders or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or of any other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to the Obligations of Borrower to the Lenders, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or any other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to the Obligations of Borrower to the Lenders or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful amount (the “Maximum Rate”), such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing in connection with this Agreement or on account of any other indebtedness of Borrower to the Lenders, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal owing in connection with this Agreement and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to indebtedness of Borrower to the Lenders, under any specific contingency, exceeds the maximum nonusurious rate permitted under applicable law, the Lenders may, at their option (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and/or (d) allocate interest between portions of the Obligations, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligations is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until each Lender shall have received the amount of interest which such Lender would have received during such period on such Obligations had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

2.3 Fees.

A. Commitment Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for distribution to each Lender in proportion to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share, commitment fees for the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date equal to the average of the daily excess of the Revolving Loan Commitments over the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments (the “Unused Portion”) multiplied by a rate per annum equal to the percentage (the “Commitment Fee Percentage”) set forth in the table below opposite the Unused Portion for the applicable Fiscal Quarter, such commitment fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date.

Applicable Unused Portion	Commitment Fee Percentage
Less than or equal to 50%	0.50%
Greater than 50% but less than or equal to 65%	0.625%
Greater than 65%	0.75%

B. Foreign Currency Lending Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for distribution to Fronting Lender, an offshore lending fee of 0.25% per annum of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Foreign Currency Loans fronted by Fronting Lender (which shall not include such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Foreign Currency Loans not fronted) during the period each such Foreign Currency Loan remains outstanding, such fee to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable in U.S. Dollars, quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date.

C. Other Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent and Arranger such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon among Borrower, Agent and Arranger.

2.4 Repayments of Revolving Loan Commitments; Prepayments and Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments; General Provisions Regarding Payments; Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Payments Under Guaranties.

A. [Reserved].

B. Prepayments and Unscheduled Reductions in Revolving Loan Commitments.

     (i)   Voluntary Prepayments.   Borrower may, upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, and four Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans denominated in an Approved Foreign Currency, in each case given to Agent by 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender for the Loans to be prepaid), at any time and from time to time prepay any Revolving Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be prepaid on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless on such prepayment date Borrower shall pay all amounts owing to Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.6D. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.4B(iv).

     (ii)   Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments.    Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice by Borrower confirmed in writing to Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided that any such partial reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Borrower’s notice to Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share as more specifically provided in subsection 2.4B(iv).

     (iii)   Mandatory Prepayments and Mandatory Reductions of Revolving Loan Commitments.   The Loans shall be prepaid and/or the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth below, all such prepayments and/or reductions to be applied as set forth below or as more specifically provided in subsection 2.4B(iv):

          (a)   Prepayments and Reductions From Net Asset Sale Proceeds.   No later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale, Borrower shall either (I) prepay the Loans and/or the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds or (II) so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower or such Subsidiary may reinvest in equipment or other productive assets of the general type used in the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries within 270 days of such date of receipt and (2) the proposed use of such portion of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds and such other information with respect to such reinvestment as Agent may reasonably request, and Borrower shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to, promptly and diligently apply such portion to such reinvestment purposes; provided, however, that pending reinvestment such portion of the Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall be applied to prepay outstanding Revolving Loans (without a reduction in Revolving Loan Commitments) to the full extent thereof. In the case of an Asset Sale by a Foreign Loan Party, Borrower shall cause such Foreign Loan Party to either (1) prepay the Intercompany Loans made to such Foreign Loan Party or (2) reinvest such Net Asset Sale Proceeds to the extent permitted pursuant to the preceding clause (II). To the extent that the Net Asset Sale Proceeds receivable by any Foreign Loan Party exceed the aggregate outstanding amount of such Foreign Loan Party’s Intercompany Loans, such Foreign Loan Party shall apply such excess proceeds to prepay the Intercompany Loans of the other Foreign Loan Parties on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amount thereof) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess proceeds; and to the extent that Net Asset Sale Proceeds of such Asset Sale remain after the foregoing applications, Borrower shall cause the excess of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds to be applied to prepay the Loans of Borrower in an aggregate amount equal to such excess proceeds and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an amount equal to such excess proceeds. In addition, Borrower shall, no later than 270 days after receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds that have not theretofore been applied to the Obligations or that have not been so reinvested as provided above, make an additional prepayment of the Loans (and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced) in the full amount of all such Net Asset Sale Proceeds.

          (b)   Prepayments and Reductions from Net Insurance/ Condemnation Proceeds.   No later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by Agent or by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds that are required to be applied to prepay the Loans and reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the provisions of subsection 6.4C, Borrower shall prepay the Loans and the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced, and, in the case of the receipt of such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds by a Foreign Loan Party, such Foreign Loan Party shall prepay the Intercompany Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds in a manner consistent with the prepayments made pursuant to the foregoing subsection 2.4B(iii)(a).

          (c)   Prepayments Due to Prepayments of Intercompany Loans.   No later than the first Business Day following Borrower’s receipt of any repayment of Intercompany Loans by any Foreign Loan Party, Borrower shall prepay the Loans but without any permanent reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitments unless otherwise required pursuant to the foregoing subsections 2.4B(iii)(a)-(b) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Intercompany Loan repayment.

          (d)   Calculations of Net Proceeds Amounts; Additional Prepayments and Reductions Based on Subsequent Calculations.    Concurrently with any prepayment of the Loans and/or reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to subsections 2.4B(iii)(a) and (b), Borrower shall deliver to Agent an Officer’s Certificate demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Asset Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, that gave rise to such prepayment and/or reduction and any related reduction in any Intercompany Loans and/or Intercompany Notes and/or Foreign Borrowing Sublimits. In the event that Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount was greater than the amount set forth in such Officer’s Certificate, Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans, and, to the extent applicable, Foreign Loan Parties shall prepay the Intercompany Loans and the Foreign Borrowing Sublimit applicable to such Foreign Loan Party shall be permanently reduced, in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, and Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to Agent an Officer’s Certificate demonstrating the derivation of the additional amount resulting in such excess.

          (e)   Prepayments Due to Reductions or Restrictions of Loan Commitments or Due to Insufficient Borrowing Base.   On the date of delivery of any applicable Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to subsection 6.1(xviii), Borrower shall from time to time prepay the Loans (and shall cause any applicable Foreign Loan Party to prepay such Foreign Loan Party’s Intercompany Loans) to the extent necessary so that no Borrowing Limitation is then exceeded.

          (f)   Prepayments of Revolving Loans from Amounts Transferred to DBTCA Account.   If any amounts are transferred to the DBTCA Account on any Business Day pursuant to the terms of any Blocked Account Agreement, then on such Business Day, if such amounts are transferred to the DBTCA Account prior to 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on such Business Day, or on the next succeeding Business Day, if such amounts are transferred to the DBTCA Account on or after 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on such Business Day, Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the amount transferred to the DBTCA Account pursuant to the terms of the applicable Blocked Account Agreement on such Business Day (to the extent such amount relates to payments received in respect of Accounts of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) until all Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full.

     (iv)   Application of Prepayments.

          (a)   Application of Voluntary Prepayments.   Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.4B(i) shall be applied as specified by Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that in the event Borrower fails to specify the Loans to which any prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof (but without any reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitments).

          (b)   Application of Mandatory Prepayments.   Any amount required to be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans and/or a reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to subsections 2.4B(iii)(a) and (b) shall be applied to prepay the Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof, and, to the extent required, to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments to the full extent thereof.

          (c)   Application of Prepayments to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans; Option to Defer Certain Mandatory Prepayments of Eurodollar Rate Loans.   Considering Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to subsection 2.6D; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that (1) the application of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to subsection 2.4B(iii) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4B(iv) would result in the prepayment of all or any portion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, and (2) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the option to, by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the date on which such prepayment would otherwise be required to be made, if the remaining term of such Interest Period is less than three months, defer the making of such prepayment until the last day of such Interest Period or such earlier date as Borrower may specify in such notice, and deposit the amount of such prepayment otherwise required to be made hereunder into the Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period at which time Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from Borrower) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the Loans in accordance with subsection 2.4B(iii).

C. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

     (i)   Manner and Time of Payment.   All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in the currency of such Obligations, in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Agent not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time), with respect to Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, and at such local times in the countries of settlement as specified from time to time by the Agent, with respect to Loans denominated in Approved Foreign Currencies, on the date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of Lenders. Funds received by Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. In order to effect timely payment of any interest, fees, commissions or other amounts due hereunder, Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to request Daily Funding Lender to make Revolving Loans for its own account (subject to settlement pursuant to subsection 2.1D) in a principal amount equal to such interest, fees, commissions or other amounts; provided that Agent shall not have the right to request such Revolving Loans if, after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, (a) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect minus the Letter of Credit Usage, or (b) the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Consolidated Borrowing Base then in effect. Daily Funding Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loans (which shall be made as Base Rate Loans) available to Agent, in same day funds, at the Funding and Payment Office, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date requested by Agent, and Borrower and Lenders hereby authorize Agent, whether or not the conditions specified in subsection 4.2 have been satisfied or waived, to apply the proceeds of such Revolving Loans directly to the payment of such unpaid interest, fees, commissions or other amounts. Borrower hereby agrees that, upon the funding of any such Revolving Loans by Daily Funding Lender in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 2.4C(i), Borrower shall have effected Revolving Loans hereunder, which Revolving Loans shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have been made by Daily Funding Lender pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of subsection 2.1C(ii). Agent shall deliver prompt notice to Borrower of the amount of Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection 2.4C together with copies of all invoices or other statements evidencing the fees, commissions or other amounts due hereunder (other than interest) paid with the proceeds of such Revolving Loans; provided that Agent shall give notice to Borrower five days in advance of the making of any such Revolving Loans for the payment of any amounts owed under subsection 10.2 together with copies of all invoices or other statements evidencing such amounts. In addition, Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to charge its accounts with Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

     (ii)   Application of Payments to Principal and Interest. Except as provided in subsection 2.2C, all payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal.

     (iii)   Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments in respect of Revolving Loans shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans to which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares of such Loans; provided that (i) payments of principal in respect of the Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 2.4B(iii)(f) shall be applied to reduce the outstanding Revolving Loans of Daily Funding Lender (subject to settlement pursuant to subsection 2.1D) prior to application to the outstanding Revolving Loans of any other Lender and (ii) payments of interest in respect of Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders in proportion to the average daily amount of such Base Rate Loans of each Lender outstanding during the period in which such interest shall have accrued. Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments received by Agent in respect of Loans and the commitment fees of such Lender when received by Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3. All such distributions to Lenders who are Foreign Currency Participants with respect to Foreign Currency Loans shall be made in U.S. Dollars, calculated at the applicable Exchange Rate for such currency as of the applicable date of determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4C(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.6C, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

     (iv)   Payments on Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder, as the case may be.

     (v)   Notation of Payment. Each Lender agrees that before disposing of any Note held by it, or any part thereof (other than by granting participations therein), that Lender will make a notation thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note and all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has been paid; provided that the failure to make (or any error in the making of) a notation of any Loan made under such Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under such Note with respect to any Loan or any payments of principal or interest on such Note.

D. Application of Proceeds of Collateral and Payments Under Guaranties.

     (i)   Applications of Proceeds of Collateral.   Except as provided in subsection 2.4B(iii)(a) or (b), all proceeds received by Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral under any Collateral Document may, in the discretion of Agent, be held by Agent as Collateral for, and/or (then or at any time thereafter) applied in full or in part by Agent against, the applicable Secured Obligations (as defined in such Collateral Document), in each case in the following order of priority:

          (a)   to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Agent is entitled to compensation (including the fees described in subsection 2.3), reimbursement and indemnification under any Loan Document and all advances made by Agent thereunder for the account of the applicable Loan Party, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Agent in connection with the Loan Documents, all in accordance with subsections 9.4, 10.2 and 10.3 and the other terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents;

          (b)   thereafter, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Obligations for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.4C(ii) hereof); and

          (c)   thereafter, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to, or upon the order of, such Loan Party, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

     (ii)   Application of Payments Under Guaranties.   All payments received by Agent under any of the Guaranties shall be applied promptly from time to time by Agent in the following order of priority:

          (a)   To the payment of the costs and expenses of any collection or other realization under such Guaranty, all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which Agent is entitled to compensation (including the fees described in subsection 2.3), reimbursement and indemnification under any such Guaranty or Loan Document and all advances made by Agent thereunder for the account of the applicable Guarantor or Loan Party, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by Agent in connection with the Guaranties and the Loan Documents, all in accordance with subsections 9.4, 10.2 and 10.3 and the other terms of this Agreement, the Guaranties and Loan Documents;

          (b)   thereafter, to the extent of any excess such payments to the payment of all other Guarantied Obligations (as defined in such Guaranty) for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof; and

          (c)   thereafter, to the extent of any excess such payments, to the payment to the applicable Guarantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

2.5 Use of Proceeds.

A. Loans.

(i) The proceeds of any Revolving Loans shall be applied by Borrower for working capital, for other general corporate purposes, which may include the making of the Intercompany Loans and other intercompany loans by Borrower to certain Subsidiaries of Borrower in accordance with subsection 7.1(iv) and other provisions of this Agreement, and for the applicable Subsidiary’s own general corporate purposes.

(ii) The proceeds of any Loans made by Lenders to Borrower based upon a Borrowing Base applicable to a Foreign Loan Party shall be promptly advanced by Borrower as an Intercompany Loan to such Foreign Loan Party and shall not be utilized by Borrower for any other purpose whatsoever.

B. Margin Regulations. No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall be used by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the Exchange Act, or any other comparable law or regulation of any other Governmental Authority, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and such use of proceeds.

2.6 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters covered:

A. Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender.

B. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Agent notifies Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be for a Base Rate Loan.

C. Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or would cause such Lender material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affect the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and Agent of such determination (which notice Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan (c) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”), shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by Borrower giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

D. Compensation For Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender pursuant to subsection 2.8 (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment (including any prepayment or conversion occasioned by the circumstances described in subsection 2.6C) or other principal payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower, or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by Borrower in the repayment of the Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.

E. Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender.

F. Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A shall be made as though that Lender had funded each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period, whether or not its Eurodollar Rate Loans had been funded in such manner.

G. Eurodollar Rate Loans After Default. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default, (i) Borrower may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed for a Base Rate Loan or, if the conditions to making a Loan set forth in subsection 4.2 cannot then be satisfied, to be rescinded by Borrower.

2.7 Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy.

A. Compensation for Increased Costs. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (including any Issuing Lender) shall determine in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or other Government Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other Government Authority (whether or not having the force of law):

     (i)   subjects such Lender to any additional Tax with respect to this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder (including with respect to issuing or maintaining any Letters of Credit or purchasing or maintaining any participations therein or maintaining any Commitment hereunder) or any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder;

     (ii)   imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or

     (iii)   imposes any other condition (other than with respect to Taxes) on or affecting such Lender or its obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar market;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining its Loans or Commitments or agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amounts to the extent such additional amounts are incurred more than six (6) months prior to the giving of such statement.

B. Taxes.

     (i)   Payments to Be Free and Clear.   All sums payable by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other country or jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of Borrower or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

     (ii)   Grossing-up of Payments.   If Borrower or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by Borrower to Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

          (a)   Borrower shall notify Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Borrower becomes aware of it;

          (b)   Borrower shall pay any such Tax when such Tax is due, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on Borrower) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Agent or such Lender;

          (c)   the sum payable by Borrower in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and

          (d)   within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay, Borrower shall deliver to Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

     (iii)   Evidence of Exemption from U.S. Withholding Tax.

          (a)   Each Lender that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or other political subdivision thereof (for purposes of this subsection 2.7B(iii), a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to Agent and to Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, or, in the case of a Non-US Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a form W-8BEN, and, in the case of a Lender that has certified in writing to Agent that it is not a “bank” (as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code), a certificate of such Lender certifying that such Lender is not (i) a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) a ten-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of Borrower or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code) in each case together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder to establish that such Lender is not subject to United States withholding tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents.

          (b)   Each Non-US Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to Agent and to Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signatures pages hereof), on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), or on such later date when such Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (1) two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender under subsection 2.7B(iii)(a), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (2) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any information, if any, such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.

          (c)   Each Non-US Lender hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Agent and to Borrower two original copies of renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to United States withholding tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents and, if applicable, that such Lender does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of such payment, or (2) notify Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under clause (c) of subsection 2.7B(ii) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of clause (a), (b) or (c)(1) of this subsection 2.7B(iii) and such Lender was in fact properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence establishing that such Lender was not subject to withholding as described in subsection 2.7B(iii)(a).

C. Capital Adequacy Adjustment. If any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the date hereof of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or, after the date hereof, any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Government Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Government Authority issued, adopted or changed after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender's Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in subsection 2.8A, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction; provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amounts to the extent such additional amounts are incurred more than six (6) months prior to the giving of such statement.

2.8 Statement of Lenders; Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lenders to Mitigate.

A. Statements. Each Lender claiming compensation or reimbursement pursuant to subsection 2.6D, 2.7 or 2.8B shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such compensation or reimbursement, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

B. Mitigation. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under subsection 2.7, use reasonable effort to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the Affected Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, if (i) as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7 would be materially reduced and (ii) as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, such action would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided that such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office pursuant to this subsection 2.8B unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending or letter of credit office as described above.

2.9 Replacement of a Lender.

If any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) fails to fund any Loan required to be funded by it in accordance with the terms hereof, a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) refuses to consent to an amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement that, pursuant to subsection 10.6, requires a consent of 100% of the Lenders or 100% of the Lenders with Obligations directly affected, Borrower receives a statement of amounts due pursuant to subsection 2.8A from a Lender or a Lender becomes an Affected Lender (any such Lender, a “Subject Lender”), so long as (i) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Borrower has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par the Subject Lender’s Loans and assume the Subject Lender’s Commitments and all other obligations of the Subject Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender is not an Issuing Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit outstanding (unless all such Letters of Credit are terminated or arrangements acceptable to such Issuing Lender (such as a “back-to-back” letter of credit) are made) and (iii), if applicable, the Subject Lender is unwilling to withdraw the notice delivered to Borrower pursuant to subsection 2.8 upon 10 days prior written notice to the Subject Lender and Agent, Borrower may require the Subject Lender to assign all of its Loans and Commitments to such other Lender, Lenders, Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees pursuant to the provisions of subsection 10.1B; provided that, prior to or concurrently with such replacement, (1) the Subject Lender shall have received payment in full of all principal, interest, fees and other amounts, including all amounts under subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and/or 2.8B (if applicable) through such date of replacement and a release from its obligations under the Loan Documents, (2) the processing fee required to be paid by subsection 10.1B(i) shall have been paid to Agent, (3) all of the requirements for such assignment contained in subsection 10.1B, including, without limitation, the consent of Agent (if required, provided that the consent of Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, shall be required in all instances of replacement of a Non-Funding Lender) and the receipt by Agent of an executed Assignment Agreement and other supporting documents, have been fulfilled, and (4) in the event such Subject Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each assignee shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Subject Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender and Borrower also requires each such Subject Lender that is a Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans and Commitments.

2.10 Collection, Deposit and Transfer of Payments in Respect of Accounts of Borrower and Domestic Subsidiaries; Other Matters Concerning Accounts.

Borrower shall, and shall cause each of the Primary Subsidiaries (and such other Subsidiaries, including without limitation Foreign Subsidiaries, as may from time to time be required by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion to be so included) to, maintain in effect at all times a system of accounts and procedures reasonably satisfactory to Agent for the collection and deposit of payments in respect of such Person’s Accounts (with respect to account debtors other than Subsidiaries of Borrower) and the transfer of amounts so deposited to the applicable Concentration Account and DBTCA Account. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

A. Maintenance of Lock Boxes, Lock Box Accounts and Concentration Accounts.

(i) Except as permitted under subsection 2.10A(ii), Borrower shall, and shall cause each of the Primary Subsidiaries (and such other Subsidiaries, including without limitation Foreign Subsidiaries, as may from time to time be required by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion to be so included) to, at all times maintain any Lock Boxes, Lock Box Accounts and Concentration Accounts established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Lock Box Agreements and the Blocked Account Agreements, if any.

(ii) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the Primary Subsidiaries or other Subsidiaries so designated by Agent pursuant to subsection 2.10A(i) hereof (unless otherwise agreed to by Agent in its reasonable discretion) to, close any Lock Box Account or Concentration Account or open a new Lock Box Account or Concentration Account unless it shall have (a) notified Agent in writing at least 30 days (or such lesser number of days as may be agreed to by Agent) prior to the proposed closing or opening, (b) in the case of a new Lock Box Account, entered into a Lock Box Agreement with the applicable Lock Box Bank and (c) in the case of a new Other Bank Concentration Account, entered into a Blocked Account Agreement with the applicable Concentration Bank.

B. Collection and Deposit of Payments in Respect of Accounts.

     (i)   Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (and such Foreign Subsidiaries as may from time to time be required by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion to be so included) to, deliver such notices to account debtors (other than any account debtor that is a Subsidiary of Borrower) and take all such other actions as may reasonably be necessary to cause all payments in respect of such Person’s Accounts to be made directly to a Lock Box or to a Concentration Account (via wire transfer).

     (ii)   Borrower shall, or shall cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries (and such Foreign Subsidiaries as may from time to time be required by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion to be so included) to, direct its authorized representative, at least once on each Business Day, to retrieve all checks and other instruments delivered to a Lock Box and, as promptly as possible on the same Business Day so retrieved, to endorse for payment and deposit each such check or other instrument in the Lock Box Account related to such Lock Box. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after such time as Agent shall have notified Borrower of its election to exercise its rights under this subsection 2.10B(ii), Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (and such Foreign Subsidiaries as may from time to time be required by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion to be so included) to, retrieve any items from any Lock Box unless accompanied by a representative of Agent, and Borrower hereby appoints Agent or any of its designees as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact with powers, upon notification by Agent as aforesaid, to (a) access all Lock Boxes and (b) endorse for payment any checks or other instruments representing payment in respect of any Accounts of such Persons that are delivered to any Lock Box. All acts of said attorneys or designees are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorneys or designees shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission (other than acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction), nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law. The power of attorney set forth in this subsection 2.10B(ii) is irrevocable until all Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated.

     (iii)   In the event that Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (and such Foreign Subsidiaries as may from time to time be required by Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion to be so included) receives any check, cash, note or other instrument representing payment of an Account from an account debtor other than a Subsidiary of Borrower (other than any item delivered to a Lock Box), Borrower shall, or shall cause such Domestic Subsidiary to, hold such item in trust for Agent and shall, as soon as practicable (and in any event within one Business Day) after receipt thereof, cause such item to be deposited into a Lock Box Account with any necessary endorsements.

     (iv)   Borrower hereby agrees, from and after such time, if any, as Agent shall have notified Borrower in writing that the provisions of this subsection 2.10B(iv) are to become effective until such later time, if any, as Agent shall have notified Borrower in writing that such provisions are no longer to be effective, not to deposit any monies into the Lock Box Accounts or to Concentration Accounts or to otherwise permit any monies to be deposited into any of such accounts, except payments received in respect of Borrower’s Accounts.

C. Transfer of Amounts Deposited in the Lock Box Accounts to the Concentration Accounts. Borrower shall cause all available funds deposited in each Lock Box Account to be automatically transferred on each Business Day to the applicable Concentration Account in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lock Box Agreement.

D. Transfer of Amounts Deposited in the Concentration Accounts to the DBTCA Account. Borrower shall cause all available funds deposited in each Concentration Account to be transferred on each Business Day to the DBTCA Account. Any amounts so transferred to the DBTCA Account first shall be applied as provided in subsection 2.4B(iii)(i) to the extent therein provided and thereafter, so long as no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be available for disbursement to the applicable Loan Parties for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

E. Treatment of Accounts. With respect to Accounts of account debtors other than Subsidiaries of Borrower, Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary (whether a Domestic Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary) to, without Agent’s prior written consent, grant any extension of the time of payment of any Account, compromise or settle any Account for less than the full amount thereof, release, in whole or in part, any Person or property liable for the payment thereof, or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, except, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, in accordance with their usual and customary business practices.

F. Borrower to Provide Information.

Section 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders’ Purchase of Participations Therein.

A. Letters of Credit. In addition to Borrower requesting that Revolving Lenders make Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A(ii), Borrower may request, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1, from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the 30th day prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, that one or more Revolving Lenders issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower for the purposes specified in the definition of Commercial Letter of Credit and Standby Letter of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower herein set forth, any one or more Revolving Lenders may, but (except as provided in subsection 3.1B(ii)) shall not be obligated to, issue such Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1; provided that Borrower shall not request that any Revolving Lender issue (and no Revolving Lender shall issue):

     (i)   any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance any Borrowing Limitation would be exceeded;

     (ii)   any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed 50% of the then outstanding Revolving Loan Commitments;

     (iii)   any Letter of Credit which would require drawings other than sight drawings; or

     (iv)   any Standby Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the earlier of (a) five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (b) the date which is one year after the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit; provided that the immediately preceding clause (b) shall not prevent any Issuing Lender from agreeing that a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each unless such Issuing Lender elects not to extend for any such additional period in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and provided, further that such Issuing Lender shall elect not to extend such Standby Letter of Credit if it has knowledge that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and has not been waived in accordance with subsection 10.6 or cured in accordance with the terms hereof) at the time such Issuing Lender must elect whether or not to allow such extension; or

     (v)   any Commercial Letter of Credit having an expiration date (a) later than the earlier of (X) the date which is 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (Y) the date which is 180 days from the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit or (b) that is otherwise unacceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion; or

     (vi)   unless Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender shall have approved the issuance of a specific Letter of Credit in another foreign currency, any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, an Approved Foreign Currency or another currency which is freely tradable and freely convertible into U.S. Dollars and, with respect to any Commercial Letter of Credit, as to which Borrower has entered into an appropriate Hedge Agreement.

For the purposes of making any determinations hereunder with respect to a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, the stated amount of such Letter of Credit shall be valued based on the applicable Exchange Rate for such currency as of the applicable date of determination.

B. Mechanics of Issuance.

     (i)   Notice of Issuance.   Whenever Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit in the form of Exhibit III annexed hereto no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days (in the case of Standby Letters of Credit) or five Business Days (in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit), or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any documents described in or attached to the Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit.

          Borrower shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender (and Agent, if Agent is not such Issuing Lender) prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit are no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit Borrower shall be deemed to have re-certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which Borrower is required to certify in the applicable Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit.

     (ii)   Determination of Issuing Lender.    Upon receipt by Agent of a Request for Issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to subsection 3.1B(i) requesting the issuance of a Standby Letter of Credit, in the event Agent elects to issue such Standby Letter of Credit, Agent shall promptly so notify Borrower, and Agent shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto. In the event that Agent, in its sole discretion, elects not to issue such Standby Letter of Credit, Agent shall promptly so notify Borrower. Upon receipt by Agent of a Request for Issuance of a Letter of Credit requesting the issuance of a Commercial Letter of Credit, Agent shall promptly deliver to Fleet a copy of such Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit, and in the event Fleet elects to issue such Commercial Letter of Credit, Fleet shall promptly so notify Borrower and Agent, and Fleet shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto. In the event that Fleet, in its sole discretion, elects not to issue such Commercial Letter of Credit, Fleet shall promptly so notify Borrower and Agent. If Agent or Fleet, as applicable, shall have declined to issue such Letter of Credit as requested, Borrower may then request any other Lender to issue such Letter of Credit by delivering to such Lender a copy of the applicable Request for Issuance of Letter of Credit. Any Lender so requested to issue such Letter of Credit shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent whether or not, in its sole discretion, it has elected to issue such Letter of Credit, and any such Lender which so elects to issue such Letter of Credit shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto. In the event that all other Lenders shall have declined to issue a Standby Letter of Credit, notwithstanding the prior election of Agent not to issue such Standby Letter of Credit, Agent shall be obligated to issue such Standby Letter of Credit and shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto, notwithstanding the fact that the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit and with respect to all other Letters of Credit issued by Agent, when aggregated with Agent’s outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed Agent’s Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect. In the event that all other Lenders shall have declined to issue a Commercial Letter of Credit, then notwithstanding the prior election of Fleet not to issue such Commercial Letter of Credit, Fleet shall be obligated to issue such Commercial Letter of Credit and shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto, notwithstanding the fact that the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Commercial Letter of Credit and with respect to all other Letters of Credit issued by Fleet, when aggregated with Fleet’s outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed Fleet’s Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect.

     (iii)   Issuance of Letter of Credit.    Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s standard operating procedures.

     (iv)   Notification to Lenders.   Promptly after the issuance of or amendment to a Standby Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Agent and Borrower, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and such notice must be accompanied by a copy of such issuance or amendment. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall notify each other Lender of such issuance or amendment, and if so requested by a Lender, the Agent shall furnish such Lender with a copy of such issuance or amendment. With regards to Commercial Letters of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall on the first Business Day of each week furnish the Agent (with a copy to Borrower), by facsimile, with a report of the daily aggregate outstanding Commercial Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender.

C. Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder.

3.2 Letter of Credit Fees.

Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder:

     (i)   with respect to each Letter of Credit, (a) a fronting fee, payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, equal to the greater of (X) $500 and (Y) 0.25% per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (b) a letter of credit fee, payable to Agent for the account of Revolving Lenders, equal to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin for Revolving Loans multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, in each case payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) the first Business Day of each March, June, September and December of each year and computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed;

     (ii)   with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each payment of a drawing made thereunder (without duplication of the fees payable under clause (i) above), documentary and processing charges, payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be; and

     (iii)   for purposes of calculating any fees payable under clause (i) of this subsection 3.2, the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be determined as of the close of business on any date of determination and any amount which is denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars shall be valued based on the applicable Exchange Rate for such currency as of the applicable date of determination. Promptly upon receipt by Agent of any amount described in clause (i)(b) of this subsection 3.2, Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount.

3.3 Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Drawn Under Letters of Credit.

A. Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

B. Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event an Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Borrower and Agent, and Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such payment (and to the extent that such Letter of Credit was issued for the benefit of a Foreign Loan Party, Borrower shall cause such Foreign Loan Party to reimburse Borrower by an amount equal to the amount of such payment); provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Borrower shall have notified Agent and such Issuing Lender prior to 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to Agent requesting Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in U.S. Dollars (which amount, in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit which is denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, shall be calculated by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) equal to the amount of such payment (and to the extent that such Letter of Credit was issued for the benefit of a Foreign Loan Party, such Foreign Loan Party shall be deemed to have requested an Intercompany Loan from Borrower in an amount equal to the amount of such payment) and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in subsection 4.2B, Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such payment, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment; and provided, further that if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such payment over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received (and to the extent that such Letter of Credit was issued for the benefit of a Foreign Loan Party, Borrower shall cause such Foreign Loan Party to reimburse Borrower in an amount equal to the excess of the amount of such payment over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans). Nothing in this subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this subsection 3.3B.

C. Payment by Revolving Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

(i) Payment by Revolving Lenders. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse any Issuing Lender as provided in subsection 3.3B in an amount (calculated in the case of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, by reference to the applicable Exchange Rate) equal to the amount of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify each other Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such other Revolving Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Each Revolving Lender shall make available to such Issuing Lender an amount equal to its respective participation, in U.S. Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of such Issuing Lender specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of such Issuing Lender is located) after the date notified by such Issuing Lender. In the event that any Lender fails to make available to such Issuing Lender on such business day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection 3.3C, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from any Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Lender to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender.

(ii) Distribution to Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Borrower. In the event any Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by such Issuing Lender from Borrower in reimbursement of such payment under the Letter of Credit when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request.

D. Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

(i) Payment of Interest by Borrower. Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, with respect to payments under any Letters of Credit issued by it, interest on the amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect of each such payment from the date a drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by Borrower (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Interest payable pursuant to this subsection 3.3D(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.

(ii) Distribution of Interest Payments by Issuing Lender. Promptly upon receipt by any Issuing Lender of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection 3.3D(i) with respect to a payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it, (a) such Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Revolving Lender, out of the interest received by such Issuing Lender in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which such Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the amount of such payment (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the amount that such other Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period pursuant to subsection 3.2 if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit, and (b) in the event such Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such payment, such Issuing Lender shall distribute to each other Lender that has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such payment such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by such Issuing Lender in respect of that portion of such payment so reimbursed by other Lenders for the period from the date on which such Issuing Lender was so reimbursed by other Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such payment is reimbursed by Borrower. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request.

3.4 Obligations Absolute.

The obligation of Borrower to reimburse each Issuing Lender for payments under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3B and the obligations of Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances:

     (i)   any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

     (ii)   the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender or other Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Borrower, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

     (iii)   any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

     (iv)   payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

     (v)   any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

     (vi)   any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; any failure of any Foreign Loan Party under any Intercompany Note to make any payment to Borrower when due thereunder or any other failure, breach or default of any nature whatsoever of any Foreign Loan Party under any Intercompany Note, any Intercompany Collateral Document or any Intercompany Note Guaranty;

     (vii)   any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or

     (viii)   the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, in each case, that payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction); upon any such determination of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly reimburse Borrower for such payments made.

3.5 Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties.

A. Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as provided in subsection 2.7, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Issuing Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of outside counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) subject to the following clause (ii), the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Lender of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Government Authority.

B. Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties. As between Borrower and any Issuing Lender, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender, including any act or omission by a Government Authority specified in subsection 3.5A, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 3.5B, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 3.5, Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Issuing Lender for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.3 Payment of Taxes and Claims; Tax.

A. Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all material taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses or franchises before any penalty accrues thereon, and all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided that no such charge or claim need be paid if it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as (1) such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor and (2) in the case of a charge or claim which has or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such charge or claim.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained (i) flood insurance with respect to each Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, in each case in compliance with any applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and (ii) replacement value casualty insurance on the Collateral under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and covering such risks as are at all times satisfactory to Agent in its commercially reasonable judgment. Each such policy of insurance shall (a) name Agent for the benefit of Lenders as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (b) in the case of each business interruption and casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement, satisfactory in form and substance to Agent, that names Agent for the benefit of Lenders as the loss payee thereunder for any covered loss in excess of $50,000 and provides for at least 30 days prior written notice to Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy.

Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit (i) from time to time, which may be quarterly (or more often if desired by Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default) unless Agent decides to the contrary, any authorized representatives designated by any Lender to visit, inspect and audit any of the properties of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including its and their financial and accounting books and records, and to make copies and take extracts therefrom, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with its and their officers and independent public accountants (provided that representatives of Borrower may, if they so choose, be present at or participate in any such discussion), and (ii) any authorized representatives designated by Agent to conduct at least two audits or appraisals of all Inventory, Accounts, machinery and equipment, Real Property Asset or Intellectual Property of Loan Parties during each twelve-month period after the Closing Date (exclusive of the audits and appraisals delivered on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Base Audit”)), each such audit or appraisal to be substantially similar in scope and substance to the Base Audit, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during normal business hours; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the assets of any Domestic Subsidiary acquired by Borrower after the Effective Date shall not be included in the calculation of the Domestic Borrowing Base unless and until the first such audit or appraisal has occurred with respect to such Domestic Subsidiary and is satisfactory to Agent. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Borrower will, upon the request of Agent or Requisite Lenders, participate in a meeting of Agent and Lenders once during each Fiscal Year to be held at Borrower’s corporate offices (or such other location as may be agreed to by Borrower and Agent) at such time as may be agreed to by Borrower and Agent.

6.6 Compliance with Laws, etc.

Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and all other Persons on or occupying any Facilities to, comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Government Authority (including all Environmental Laws), noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

B. Borrower agrees that Agent may, from time to time and in its reasonable discretion, retain, at Borrower’s expense, an independent professional consultant to review any report relating to Hazardous Materials prepared by or for Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and, upon a reasonable belief that Borrower has breached any covenant or representation herein with respect to environmental matters or that there has been a material violation of Environmental Laws at any Facility or by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, to conduct its own reasonable investigation of such matter at any Facility currently owned, leased, operated or used by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission for Agent’s professional consultant to conduct its own investigation of any such matter at any Facility previously owned, leased, operated or used by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Borrower hereby grants to Agent and its agents, employees, consultants and contractors the right to enter into or on to the Facilities currently owned, leased, operated or used by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries upon reasonable notice to Borrower to perform such assessments on such property as are reasonably necessary to conduct such a review and/or investigation. Any such investigation of any Facility shall be conducted, unless otherwise agreed to by Borrower and Agent, during normal business hours and, to the extent reasonably practicable, shall be conducted so as not to interfere with the ongoing operations at any such Facility or to cause any damage or loss to any property at such Facility. Borrower and Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that any report of any investigation conducted at the request of Agent pursuant to this subsection 6.7B will be obtained and shall be used by Agent and Lenders for the purposes of Lenders’ internal credit decisions, to monitor and police the Loans and to protect Lenders’ security interests, if any, created by the Loan Documents.

D. Borrower shall promptly notify Lenders of (i) any proposed acquisition of stock, assets, or property by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to expose Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Claims that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) any proposed action to be taken by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to modify current operations that could reasonably be expected to subject Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to material additional obligations or requirements under Environmental Laws.

6.9 Execution of Loan Documents and Personal Property Collateral Documents and Registration of Certain Collateral After the Closing Date.

A. Execution of Loan Documents and Personal Property Collateral Documents. In the event it is determined that any Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower (other than Industries Insurance, Inc. or an Immaterial Subsidiary) existing on the Closing Date has not previously executed the Guaranty, or in the event that any Person becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) after the Closing Date, Borrower will promptly notify Agent of that fact and cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a counterpart of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, and, in either case, unless Borrower otherwise requests and Agent consents thereto, to take all such further actions and execute all such further documents and instruments (including actions, documents and instruments comparable to those taken on the Closing Date) as may be necessary or, in the opinion of Agent, desirable to create in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a valid and perfected First Priority Lien on substantially all of the personal and mixed property assets of such Domestic Subsidiary described in the applicable forms of Loan Documents and Collateral Documents.

B. Foreign Subsidiaries. Within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, or such longer period of time as may be approved by Agent, with respect to Harnischfeger (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd., and within ninety (90) days after Agent’s reasonable request (or such longer period of time as may be approved by Agent) with respect to any other first tier Foreign Subsidiary (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary), whether such Foreign Subsidiary existed on the Effective Date or became such a Subsidiary thereafter, Borrower shall, or shall cause any Domestic Subsidiary which is the direct parent of such Foreign Subsidiary to, execute and deliver to Agent such documents and instruments and take such further actions as may be necessary, or in the reasonable opinion of Agent, desirable to create in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a valid and perfected First Priority Lien on 66% of the capital stock of such Foreign Subsidiary. At any time that the pledge of the additional 34% (or such other portion) of the capital stock of any such first tier Foreign Subsidiary of Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower would not result in the possibility of a deemed dividend under Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code, Borrower or such Domestic Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to Agent such documents and instruments as Agent may reasonably request and take such further action as Agent may reasonably request to cause such capital stock to be pledged to, and subject to a First Priority Lien in favor of, Agent for the benefit of Lenders as further security for the performance of the Obligations hereunder.

C. Subsidiaries of Foreign Loan Parties. In the event that any Person becomes a Foreign Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Foreign Loan Party (other than an Immaterial Subsidiary) after the Closing Date, Borrower will promptly notify Agent of that fact and, unless Borrower otherwise requests and Agent consents thereto, cause such Foreign Loan Party or Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Borrower counterparts of, or such additional, Intercompany Notes, Intercompany Note Guaranties and Intercompany Collateral Documents, and to take all such further actions and execute all such further documents and instruments (including actions, documents and instruments comparable to those taken on the Closing Date) as may be necessary or, in the opinion of Agent, desirable to create in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a valid and perfected First Priority Lien on all of the personal and mixed property assets of such Foreign Loan Party or such Subsidiary of such Foreign Loan Party.

6.10 Matters Relating to Real Property Collateral.

A. Conforming Leasehold Interests. To the extent Borrower shall not have delivered to Agent a fully executed and notarized Mortgage on the Closing Date with respect to any Leasehold Property for which Agent has requested a Mortgage, Borrower shall continue to use its best efforts to obtain a Mortgage on such Leasehold Property in accordance with Agent’s request. If Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries acquires any Leasehold Property (unless otherwise permitted by Agent in its reasonable discretion), Borrower shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, cause such Leasehold Property to be a Conforming Leasehold Interest.

B. Mortgages, Etc. From and after the Closing Date, in the event that (i) any Loan Party acquires any fee or freehold interest in real property or any Leasehold Property with a fair market value in excess of $1,000,000 (unless otherwise permitted by Agent in its reasonable discretion) or (ii) at the time any Person becomes a Loan Party, such Person owns or holds any fee or freehold interest in real property or any Leasehold Property with a fair market value in excess of $1,000,000, in the case of clause (ii) above, excluding any such Real Property Asset the encumbrancing of which requires the consent of any applicable lessor or then-existing senior lienholder, where Borrower and its Subsidiaries are unable to obtain such lessor’s or senior lienholder’s consent (any such non-excluded Real Property Asset described in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) being a “Mortgaged Property”), such Loan Party shall deliver to Agent, as soon as practicable after such Person acquires such Mortgaged Property or becomes a Loan Party, as the case may be, a fully executed and notarized Mortgage, duly recorded in all appropriate places in all applicable jurisdictions, encumbering the interest of such Loan Party in such Mortgaged Property; and such opinions, appraisal, documents, title insurance, environmental reports that may be reasonably required by Agent.

C. Real Estate Appraisals. Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit an independent real estate appraiser satisfactory to Agent, upon reasonable notice, to visit and inspect any Mortgaged Property for the purpose of preparing an appraisal of such Mortgaged Property satisfying the requirements of any applicable laws and regulations (in each case to the extent required under such laws and regulations as determined by Agent in its discretion).

Section 9. AGENT

9.1 Appointment.

A. Appointment of Agent. DBTCA is hereby appointed Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to act as its agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent agrees to act upon the express conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. Each Interest Rate Exchanger (i) hereby appoints Agent to act as agent in connection with the applicable Lender Interest Rate Agreement, it being understood and agreed by each Interest Rate Exchanger that it shall have no right individually to enforce any remedy in connection with any Lender Interest Rate Agreement, and (ii) hereby agrees to indemnify Agent pursuant to subsection 9.4A in connection with actions taken (or not taken) by Agent in connection therewith. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent (other than as provided in subsection 2.1E) shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

B. Appointment of Supplemental Collateral Agents. It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case Agent reasonably deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that Agent appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee, co-trustee, collateral agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Collateral Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Collateral Agents”).

In the event that Agent appoints a Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Collateral Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Collateral Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either Agent or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 9 and of subsections 10.2 and 10.3 that refer to Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent and all references therein to Agent shall be deemed to be references to Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require.

Should any instrument in writing from Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him, her or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, Borrower shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by Agent. In case any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

9.2 Powers and Duties; General Immunity.

X. Xxxxxx; Duties Specified. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

B. No Responsibility for Certain Matters. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Borrower to Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of Borrower or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the Letter of Credit Usage or the component amounts thereof.

C. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6).

D. Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

9.3 Independent Investigation by Lenders; No Responsibility For Appraisal of Creditworthiness.

Each Lender agrees that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

9.4 Right to Indemnity.

A. Indemnity to Agent. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify Agent and the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professional advisors and affiliates of Agent to the extent that any such Person shall not have been reimbursed by Borrower, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements and fees and disbursements of any financial advisor engaged by Agent) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any other such Persons in exercising the powers, rights and remedies of Agent or performing duties of Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to Agent or any other such Person for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

B. Indemnity to Security Trustee. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (“LDTC”), as security trustee under a Security Trust Deed (the “Security Trust Deed”) dated on or about the date of this Agreement among Borrower, Agent, LDTC and Harnischfeger Industries Limited in relation to that certain Debenture (the “Debenture”) dated on or about the date of this Agreement between Harnischfeger Industries Limited, the additional chargors which are party thereto and LDTC and any other documents entered into by LDTC in connection therewith, and the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, professional advisors and affiliates of LDTC, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements and fees and disbursements of any financial advisor engaged by LDTC) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against LDTC or any other such Persons, in exercising the powers, rights and remedies of LDTC or performing duties of LDTC pursuant to the Security Trust Deed or the Debenture or in any way relating to or arising out of the Security Trust Deed or the Debenture or the other documents or instruments relating thereto, to the same extent of the indemnity granted to Agent pursuant to subsection 9.4A. This subsection 9.4B shall not be amended, modified, revised or terminated without the prior written approval of LDTC.

9.5 Successor Agent.

Agent may, without the consent of any Lender or Borrower, resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such notice of resignation, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Borrower and if no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s consent thereto (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

9.6 Collateral Documents and Guaranties.

Each Lender hereby further authorizes Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to enter into each Collateral Document as secured party and to be the agent for and representative of Lenders under each Guaranty, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each Collateral Document and Guaranty; provided that Agent shall not (i) enter into or consent to any material amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Collateral Document, Guaranty, Intercompany Note, Intercompany Note Guaranty or Intercompany Collateral Document, or (ii) release any Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted or required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Collateral Document), in each case without the prior consent of Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to subsection 10.6, such higher percentage of or all Lenders); provided further, however, that, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (a) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented or (b) release any Guarantor from the applicable Guaranty or Foreign Loan Party from the applicable Intercompany Guaranty if all of the capital stock or other ownership interests of such Guarantor or Foreign Loan Party or other guarantor is sold to any Person (other than an Affiliate of Borrower) pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which Requisite Lenders have otherwise consented. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (X) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document to enforce any Guaranty or Intercompany Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents and the Guaranties or Intercompany Guaranty may be exercised solely by Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof, and (Y) in the event of a foreclosure by Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Agent at such sale.

9.7 Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries of Borrower, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agent and their agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Agent under subsections 2.3 and 10.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under subsections 2.3 and 10.2 hereof.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lenders or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations in Loans and Letters of Credit.

A. General. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders (it being understood that Lenders’ rights of assignment are subject to the further provisions of this subsection 10.1). None of Borrower’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by Borrower without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). No sale, assignment or transfer or participation of any Letter of Credit or any participation therein may be made separately from a sale, assignment, transfer or participation of a corresponding interest in the Revolving Loan Commitment and the Revolving Loans of the Lender effecting such sale, assignment, transfer or participation. 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of Agent and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

B. Assignments.

(i) Amounts and Terms of Assignments. Any Lender may assign to one or more other Lenders, Affiliates of Lenders, Affiliated Funds of Lenders or, as reasonably approved by Agent and, provided no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default is then continuing, Borrower, other Eligible Assignees, all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (a) except (1) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or (2) in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Affiliated Fund of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Exposure of the assigning Lender and the assignee subject to each such assignment shall not be less than $3,000,000 (unless Agent otherwise consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (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 with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, (c) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless the assignee is an Affiliate or an Affiliated Fund of the assignor, in which case no fee shall be required), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Agent information reasonably requested by Agent, including such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii), and (d) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Affiliated Fund of a Lender, Agent and, provided no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default is then continuing, Borrower shall have consented thereto. Upon such execution, delivery and consent, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment Agreement, (y) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination of this Agreement under subsection 10.9B) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided that, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if such Lender is the Issuing Lender with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit such Lender shall continue to have all rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder). The assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its Notes to Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall be issued to the assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV annexed hereto, as the case may be, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender. Other than as provided in subsection 10.5, any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.1B 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 subsection 10.1C.

(ii) Acceptance by Agent; Recordation in Register. Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection 10.1B(i) and any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters that such assignee may be required to deliver to Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii), Agent shall, if Agent (and Borrower, if required) has consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (to the extent such consent is required pursuant to subsection 10.1B(i)), (a) accept such Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (c) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower. Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this subsection 10.1B(ii).

C. Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, Agent and 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 directly affecting (i) the extension of the scheduled final maturity date of any Loan allocated to such participation or (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of or the rate of interest payable on any Loan allocated to such participation. Subject to the further provisions of this subsection 10.1C, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.6D and 2.7 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection 10.1B. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to subsection 10.5 as though it were a Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsections 2.6D and 2.7 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 Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 2.7 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with subsection 2.7B(iii) as though it were a Lender.

D. Pledges and Assignments. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, and the other Obligations owed to such Lender, to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank; provided that (i) no Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment or pledge and (ii) in no event shall any assignee or pledgee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

E. Information. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to subsection 10.19.

F. Agreements of Lenders. Each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof hereby agrees (i) that it is an Eligible Assignee described in clause (A) of the definition thereof; (ii) that it has experience and expertise in the making of loans such as the Loans; and (iii) that it will make its Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.1, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control). Each Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to agree that the agreements of such Lender contained in Section 2(c) of such Assignment Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.

10.3 Indemnity.

In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection 10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless Agent and Lenders, and the officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates of Agent and Lenders (collectively called the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

As used herein, “Indemnified Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including Environmental Claims), costs (including the costs of any investigation, study, sampling, testing, abatement, cleanup, removal, remediation or other response action necessary to remove, remediate, clean up or xxxxx any Hazardous Materials Activity), expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Related Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including Lenders’ agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or the use or intended use of any thereof, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranties)), or (ii) any Environmental Claim or any Hazardous Materials Activity relating to or arising from, directly or indirectly, any past or present activity, operation, land ownership, or practice of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that its is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

10.4 Set-Off; Security Interest in Deposit Accounts.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and consultation with Agent each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived (provided that Agent shall use its best efforts to notify Borrower promptly following any such set-off, appropriation or application), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender or any Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower and each other Loan Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Borrower or any other Loan Party to that Lender (or any Affiliate of such Lender) or to any other Lender (or any Affiliate of any other Lender) under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (i) that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 8 and although said obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. Borrower hereby further grants to Agent and each Lender a security interest in all deposits and accounts maintained with Agent or such Lender as security for the Obligations.

10.5 Ratable Sharing.

Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Insolvency Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase assignments (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of an assignment simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) of the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such assignments shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any purchaser of an assignment so purchased may exercise any and all rights of a Lender as to such assignment as fully as if that Lender had complied with the provisions of subsection 10.1B with respect to such assignment. In order to further evidence such assignment (and without prejudice to the effectiveness of the assignment provisions set forth above), each purchasing Lender and each selling Lender agree to enter into an Assignment Agreement at the request of a selling Lender or a purchasing Lender, as the case may be, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to each such Lender.

10.6 Amendments and Waivers.

No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the Notes, and no consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of Requisite Lenders; provided that no such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall, without the consent of (a) each Lender with Obligations directly affected (whose consent shall be required for any such amendment, modification, termination or waiver in addition to that of Requisite Lenders) (1) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, (2) increase the maximum aggregate amount of Letters of Credit, (3) postpone the scheduled final maturity date (but not the date of any scheduled installment of principal) of any Loan, (4) postpone the date on which any interest or any fees are payable, (5) decrease the interest rate borne by any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to subsection 2.2E) or the amount of any fees payable hereunder, (6) reduce the amount or postpone the due date of any amount payable in respect of any Letter of Credit, (7) extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date or (8) change in any manner the obligations of Lenders relating to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit; (b) each Lender, (1) change in any manner the definition of “Requisite Lenders” (except for any changes resulting solely from an increase in Commitments approved by Requisite Lenders), (2) change in any manner any provision of this Agreement that, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of all Lenders, (3) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods permitted hereunder, (4) release any Lien granted in favor of Agent with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any material Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case other than in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, (5) increase the amount of any of the Commitments; (6) change in any manner or waive the provisions contained in subsection 8.1 or this subsection 10.6; (7) change in any manner the provisions contained in the second paragraph of subsection 2.1C(ii); (8) increase the advance rate with respect to the Revolving Loans (except for the restoration by Agent of an advance rate in whole or in part to its original level after the prior reduction thereof by Agent); (9) increase the advance rate with respect to any category of Collateral (e.g., 85% of Eligible Accounts Receivables, 35% of Eligible Unbilled Accounts Receivables) except for the restoration by Agent of any such advance rate in whole or in part to its original level after the prior reduction thereof by Agent; or (10) change the definition of “Australian Joy Subsidiary Borrowing Base”, “Australian P&H Subsidiary Borrowing Base”, “Consolidated Borrowing Base”, “Domestic Borrowing Base” or “UK Subsidiary Borrowing Base” with respect to the maximum amounts (or reductions thereof) of Eligible Intellectual Property, Eligible Real Estate and Eligible Machinery and Equipment that may be included in such Borrowing Bases; or (c) Lenders having or holding more than 75% of the sum of aggregate Revolving Loan Exposure of all Lenders (1) change in any manner or waive the provisions contained in subsection 7.7(iv), or (2) release a material portion of the Collateral. In addition, (i) any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any of the provisions contained in Section 4 shall be effective only if evidenced by a writing signed by or on behalf of Agent and Requisite Lenders, (ii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Lender which is the holder of that Note, (iii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Section 3 shall be effective without the written concurrence of Agent and, with respect to the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit, without the written concurrence of each Issuing Lender that has issued an outstanding Letter of Credit or has not been reimbursed for a payment under a Letter of Credit, and (iv) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Section 9 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of Agent. Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Borrower, on Borrower.

10.7 Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.8 Notices; Effectiveness of Signatures.

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile in complete and legible form, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to Agent shall not be effective until received. For the purposes hereof, the address of each party hereto shall be as set forth under such party’s name on the signature pages hereof or (i) as to Borrower and Agent, such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice delivered to the other parties hereto and (ii) as to each other party, such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice delivered to Agent. Electronic mail may be used to distribute routine communications, such as financial statements and other information; provided, however, that no signature with respect to any notice, request, agreement, waiver, amendment or other document or any notice that is intended to have binding effect may be sent by electronic mail.

Loan Documents and notices under the Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as an original copy with manual signatures and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, Agents and Lenders. Agent may also require that any such documents and signature be confirmed by a manually-signed copy thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver any such manually-signed copy shall not affect the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

10.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

No failure or delay on the part of an Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

10.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.

Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent or Lenders (or to Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.12 Severability.

The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders, or Lenders and Borrower, as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
