Company and Permitted Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to disburse Revolving Credit Advances under this Section 2.3 pursuant to the telephone instructions of any person purporting to be a person identified by name on a written list of persons authorized by Company and delivered to Agent prior to the date of such request to make Requests for Revolving Credit Advance on behalf of Company and the Permitted Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company and each Permitted Borrower acknowledge that Company and each such Permitted Borrower shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone request. Each telephone request for a Revolving Credit Advance shall constitute a certification of the matters set forth in the Request for Revolving Credit Advance form as of the date of such requested Advance.

2.4 Disbursement of Advances.

(a)

Upon receiving any Request for Revolving Credit Advance from Company or a Permitted Borrower under Section 2.3 hereof, Agent shall promptly notify each

	Revolving Credit Lender by wire, telex, email or telephone (confirmed by email, wire, telecopy or telex) of the amount and currency of such Advance to be made and the date such Advance is to be made by said Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to its Revolving Credit Percentage of such Advance. Unless such Revolving Credit Lender’s commitment to make Advances of the Revolving Credit hereunder shall have been suspended or terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available the amount of its Revolving Credit Percentage of each Advance in immediately available funds in the currency of such Advance to Agent, as follows:

	(i)	for Domestic Advances, at the office of Agent located at Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance; and

	(ii)	for Eurocurrency-based Advances, at Agent’s Correspondent for the account of the Eurocurrency Lending Office of Agent, not later than 12 noon (the time of Agent’s Correspondent) on the date of such Advance.

(b)	Subject to submission of an executed Request for Revolving Credit Advance by Company or a Permitted Borrower (with the countersignature of Company as aforesaid) without exceptions noted in the compliance certification therein, Agent shall make available to Company or to the applicable Permitted Borrower, as the case may be, the aggregate of the amounts so received by it from Revolving Credit Lenders in like funds and currencies:

	(i)	for Domestic Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance by credit to an account of Company or such Permitted Borrower maintained with Agent or to such other account or third party as Company or such Permitted Borrower may reasonably direct; and

	(ii)	for Eurocurrency-based Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m. (the time of Agent’s Correspondent) on the date of such Advance, by credit to an account of Company or such Permitted Borrower maintained with Agent’s Correspondent or to such other account or third party as Company or such Permitted Borrower may reasonably direct.

(c)	Agent shall deliver the documents and papers received by it for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender to such Revolving Credit Lender or upon its order. Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Credit Lender prior to the date of any proposed Advance that such Revolving Credit Lender does not intend to make available to Agent such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Revolving Credit Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date and in such currency, as aforesaid and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Company or to the applicable Permitted Borrower, as the case may be, a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Revolving Credit Lender, as aforesaid, Agent shall be entitled to recover

	such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender. If such Revolving Credit Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon Agent’s demand therefor, Agent shall promptly notify Company, and Company or the applicable Permitted Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent, if such notice is delivered to Company prior to 1:00 p.m (Detroit time) on a Business Day, on the day such notice is received, and otherwise on the next Business Day, and such amount paid by Company shall be applied as a prepayment of the Revolving Credit (without any corresponding reduction in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment), reimbursing Agent for having funded said amounts on behalf of such Revolving Credit Lender. The Company shall retain its claim against such Revolving Credit Lender with respect to the amounts repaid by it to Agent and, if such Revolving Credit Lender subsequently makes such amounts available to the Agent, Agent shall promptly make such amounts available to the Borrower as a Revolving Credit Advance. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Revolving Credit Lender or Company or the applicable Permitted Borrower, as the case may be, but without duplication, interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by Agent to Company or such Permitted Borrower, as the case may be, to the date such amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate per annum equal to:

	(i)	in the case of such Revolving Credit Lender, for the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, with respect to Domestic Advances, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and with respect to Eurocurrency-based Advances, Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by Agent as a result of such failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount and thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Revolving Credit Advances; and

	(ii)	in the case of Company or such Permitted Borrower, the rate of interest then applicable to such Advance of the Revolving Credit.

	Until such Revolving Credit Lender has paid Agent such amount, such Revolving Credit Lender shall have no interest in or rights with respect to such Advance for any purpose whatsoever. The obligation of any Revolving Credit Lender to make any Advance of the Revolving Credit hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make any Advance hereunder, and no Revolving Credit Lender shall have any liability to Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Agent, any other Revolving Credit Lender, or any other party for another Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder.

2.5 (a) Swing Line Advances. Swing Line Lender may, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth (including without limitation Section 2.5(c) hereof), make one or more advances in Dollars or in any Alternative Currency (each such advance being a “Swing Line Advance”) to any Borrower, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from

the date hereof to (but excluding) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in an aggregate amount, based on the Dollar Amount of any such Advances outstanding in Dollars and the Current Dollar Equivalent of any such Advances outstanding in Alternative Currencies, not to exceed at any time outstanding the Swing Line Maximum Amount. Swing Line Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each Borrower to Swing Line Lender resulting from each Swing Line Advance of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time. The entries made in such account or accounts of Swing Line Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations of such Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Swing Line Lender to maintain such account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay the Swing Line Advances (and all other amounts owing with respect thereto) made to such Borrower by Swing Line Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Advances, repayments and readvances under the Swing Line may be made, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Swing Line Advance shall mature and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable by the applicable Borrower on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (if any) and in the case of any Prime-based Advance, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

Each Borrower agrees that, upon the written request of Swing Line Lender (with a copy concurrently delivered to Agent) it will execute and deliver to Swing Line Lender Swing Line Notes executed by it provided, that the delivery of such Swing Line Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the Restatement Date.

(a)	Accrual of Interest. Each Swing Line Advance shall, from time to time after the date of such Advance, bear interest at its Applicable Interest Rate. The amount and date of each Swing Line Advance, its Applicable Interest Rate, its Interest Period, if any, and the amount and date of any repayment shall be noted on Swing Line Lender’s account maintained pursuant to Section 2.5(a), which records will be conclusive evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, however, that any failure by Swing Line Lender to record any such information shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to repay the outstanding principal amount of such Advance, all interest accrued thereon and any amount payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)	Requests for Swing Line Advances. Company or a Permitted Borrower (with the countersignature of Company) may request a Swing Line Advance only after delivery to Swing Line Lender (with a copy concurrently delivered to Agent) of a Request for Swing Line Advance executed by an Authorized Officer of Company and, if applicable such Permitted Borrower, subject to the following and to the remaining provisions hereof:

	(i)	each such Request for Swing Line Advance shall set forth the information required on the Request for Advance form annexed hereto as Exhibit A–2, including without limitation:

	(ii)	the Dollar Amount of the principal amount of such requested Swing Line Advance, plus the aggregate principal amount of all other Swing Line Advances then outstanding hereunder (including any other Swing Line Advances requested to be made on such date but excluding any such Advances being refunded by such requested Swing Line Advance) to any Borrower (using the Current Dollar Equivalent of any such Advances outstanding in any Alternative Currency, determined pursuant to the terms hereof as of the date of such requested Advance) shall not exceed the Swing Line Maximum Amount;

	(iii)	as of the proposed date of such Swing Line Advance, the Dollar Amount of the principal amount of such requested Swing Line Advance, plus the aggregate principal amount of all other Swing Line Advances and all Advances of the Revolving Credit then outstanding hereunder (including any Revolving Credit Advances or other Swing Line Advances requested to be made on such date, but excluding any such Advances being refunded by such requested Swing Line Advance) to any Borrower (using the Current Dollar Equivalent of any such Advances outstanding in any Alternative Currency, determined pursuant to the terms hereof as of the date of such requested Advance), and the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations (based on the Dollar Amount of any Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and the Current Dollar Equivalent of the Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency) shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment;

	(iv)	in the case of any Permitted Borrower, as of the proposed date of such Swing Line Advance, the principal amount of the requested Swing Line Advance to such Permitted Borrower (determined as aforesaid), plus the aggregate principal amount of any other Swing Line Advances and all other Advances then outstanding to such Permitted Borrower hereunder (including, without duplication, Revolving Credit Advances or Swing Line Advances requested to be made on such date) determined as aforesaid, plus the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Permitted Borrower (using the Current Dollar Equivalent thereof for any Letters of

		Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency) shall not exceed the applicable Permitted Borrower Sublimit;

	(v)	in the case of a Prime-based Advance, the principal amount of the initial funding of such Advance, as opposed to any refunding or conversion thereof, shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or, in the case of such Advances requested by any Permitted Borrowers formed under the laws of The Netherlands, the Dollar Amount as of such date of Euro 50,000, if such Dollar Amount is greater than $100,000;

	(vi)	in the case of a Eurocurrency-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance, the principal amount of such Advance, the principal amount of such Swing Line Advance plus the amount of any other outstanding Advance of the Swing Line to be then combined therewith having the same Applicable Interest Rate and Interest Period, if any, shall be, at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), or the equivalent thereof in an Alternative Currency (or a whole multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), or the equivalent thereof in the applicable Alternative Currency), and at any one time there shall not be in effect more than (x) for Advances in Dollars, Five (5) Applicable Interest Rates and Interest Periods, and (y) for Advances in any Alternative Currency (other than eurodollars), two (2) Applicable Interest Rates and Interest Periods for each such currency;

	(vii)	each such Request for Swing Line Advance shall be delivered to Swing Line Lender (with a copy concurrently delivered to Agent) (x) for each Advance in Dollars, by 2:00 p.m. (eastern time) (or such other time as Swing Line Lender shall specify to the applicable Borrower) on the proposed date of the Advance and (y) for each Advance in any Alternative Currency, by 10:00 a.m. (eastern time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed date of Advance;

	(viii)	each Request for Swing Line Advance, once delivered to Swing Line Lender, shall be irrevocable by Company and any applicable Permitted Borrower, and shall constitute and include a certification by Company and any applicable Permitted Borrower as of the date thereof that:

	(A) both before and after such Swing Line Advance, the obligations of the Borrowers set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents, are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Borrowers and any of their Subsidiaries party thereto;

	(B) all conditions to the making of Swing Line Advances have been satisfied (both before and after giving effect to such Advance);

	(C) both before and after the making of such Swing Line Advance, there is no Default or Event of Default in existence; and

	(D) both before and after such Swing Line Advance, the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects.

	(ix)	At the option of Agent, subject to revocation by Agent at any time and from time to time and so long as Agent is Swing Line Lender, Borrower may utilize Agent’s “Sweep to Loan” automated system for obtaining Swing Line Advances and making periodic repayments. At any time during which the “Sweep to Loan” system is in effect, Swing Line Advances shall be advanced to fund borrowing needs pursuant to the terms of the Sweep Agreement. Each time a Swing Line Advance is made using the “Sweep to Loan” system, Company and the applicable Permitted Borrowers shall be deemed to have certified to Agent and Revolving Credit Lenders each of the matters set forth in clause (viii) of this Section 2.5(c). Principal and interest on Swing Line Advances requested, or deemed requested, pursuant to this Section shall be paid pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sweep Agreement without any deduction, setoff or counterclaim whatsoever. Unless sooner paid pursuant to the provisions hereof or the provisions of the Sweep Agreement, the principal amount of the Swing Loans shall be paid in full, together with accrued interest thereon, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Agent may suspend or revoke any Borrower’s privilege to use the “Sweep to Loan” system at any time and from time to time for any reason and, immediately upon any such revocation, the “Sweep to Loan” system shall no longer be available to Borrower for the funding of Swing Line Advances hereunder (or otherwise), and the regular procedures set forth in this Section 2.5 for the making of Swing Line Advances shall be deemed immediately to apply. Agent may, at its option, also elect to make Swing Line Advances upon Borrower’s telephone requests on the basis set forth in the last paragraph of Section 2.3, provided that Company and the applicable Permitted Borrowers each complies with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.5.

(c)	Disbursement of Swing Line Advances. Unless otherwise notified in writing by Agent promptly following each receipt of a Request for Swing Line Advance hereunder, Swing Line Lender may assume that all conditions precedent to the disbursement of such requested Swing Line Advance have been satisfied, including without limitation that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that the entirety of the Swing Line Maximum Amount less any outstanding Swing Line Advances is available hereunder (provided that Agent shall have no responsibility whatsoever to Swing Line Lender or to any other Lender to give any notice hereunder, except as set forth in Section 12.12 of this Agreement), and subject to the proper submission of an executed Request for Swing Line Advance by Company or a Permitted Borrower without exceptions noted in the compliance certification therein and to the other terms and conditions hereof, Swing Line Lender shall make available to Company or the applicable

	Permitted Borrower the amount so requested, in like funds and currencies, not later than:

	(i)	for Prime-based Advances or Quoted Rate Advances, not later than 5:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the date of such Advance by credit to an account of Company or the applicable Permitted Borrower maintained with Swing Line Lender or with Agent or to such other account or third party as Company or the Permitted Borrower may reasonably direct in writing; and

	(ii)	for Eurocurrency-based Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m. (the time of the office of Swing Line Lender funding such Advance) on the date of such Advance, by credit to an account of Company or the Permitted Borrower maintained with Swing Line Lender’s or Agent’s Correspondent or to such other account or third party as Company or the applicable Permitted Borrower may reasonably direct in writing.

	Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify Agent of any Swing Line Advance by telephone, telex or telecopier.

(d)	Refunding of or Participation Interest in Swing Line Advances.

	(i)	Acting through Agent (which shall, subject to the terms hereof, comply with Swing Line Lender’s request), Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, may on behalf of Company or the applicable Permitted Borrower (each of which hereby irrevocably directs Swing Line Lender and Agent to act on its behalf) request each of Revolving Credit Lenders (including Swing Line Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Credit Lender) to make an Advance of the Revolving Credit to each of Company and/or the applicable Permitted Borrowers, for each Permitted Currency in which Swing Line Advances are outstanding to such party, in an amount (in the applicable Permitted Currency, determined in accordance with Section 2.11(b) hereof) equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the principal amount of the aggregate Swing Line Advances outstanding in each Permitted Currency to each such party on the date such notice is given (the “Refunded Swing Line Advances”); provided however that Swing Line Advances which are carried at the Quoted Rate or the Eurocurrency-based Rate which are converted to Revolving Credit Advances at the request of Swing Line Lender at a time when no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall not be subject to Section 11.1 and no losses, costs or expenses may be assessed by Swing Line Lender against any Borrower or other Revolving Credit Lenders as a consequence of such conversion. In the case of each Refunded Swing Line Advance outstanding in Dollars, the applicable Advance of the Revolving Credit used to refund such Swing Line Advance shall be a Prime-based Advance. In the case of each Refunded Swing Line Advance outstanding in any Alternative Currency, the applicable Advance of the Revolving Credit used to refund such Swing

		Line Advance shall be an Advance in the applicable Alternative Currency, with an Interest Period of one month (or any lesser number of days selected by Agent in consultation with Revolving Credit Lenders). In connection with the making of any such Refunded Swing Line Advances or the purchase of a participation interest in Swing Line Advances under Section 2.5(e)(ii) hereof, Swing Line Lender shall retain its claim against Company or the applicable Permitted Borrower for any unpaid interest or fees in respect thereof. Unless any of the events described in Section 9.1(j) hereof shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of subparagraph (ii) of this Section 2.5(e) shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement to the making of an Advance of the Revolving Credit are then satisfied, but subject to Section 2.5(e)(iii), each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Advance of the Revolving Credit available to Agent for the benefit of Swing Line Lender at the office of Agent specified in Section 2.4(a) hereof prior to 11:00 a.m. Detroit time (for Domestic Advances) on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given, and, in the case of any Eurocurrency-based Advance, prior to 2:00 p.m. Detroit time on the third Business Day following the date such notice is given, in each case in immediately available funds in the applicable Permitted Currency. The proceeds of such Advances of the Revolving Credit shall be promptly delivered by Agent to Swing Line Lender for application to repay the Refunded Swing Line Advances in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

	(ii)	If, prior to the making of an Advance of the Revolving Credit pursuant to subparagraph (i) of this Section 2.5(e), one of the events described in Section 9.1(j) hereof shall have occurred, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Advance of the Revolving Credit was to have been made, purchase from Swing Line Lender an undivided participating interest in each Refunded Swing Line Advance in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Percentage of such Refunded Swing Line Advance. Each Revolving Credit Lender within the time periods specified in Section 2.5(e)(i) hereof, as applicable, shall immediately transfer to Agent for the benefit of Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds in the applicable Permitted Currency of such Swing Line Advance, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof Swing Line Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a participation certificate evidencing such participation.

	(iii)	Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Advances of the Revolving Credit and to purchase participation interests in accordance with clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason

whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Company, any Permitted Borrower or any other Person; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by Company, any Permitted Borrower or any other Person; (v) any inability of Company or the Permitted Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such Advance is to be made or such participating interest is to be purchased; (vi) the termination of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment hereunder; or (vii) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If any Revolving Credit Lender does not make available to Agent or Swing Line Lender, as applicable the amount required pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, as the case may be, Agent or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of non-payment until such amount is paid in full (x) for the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for Domestic Advances and for any other Advances, Agent’s marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by Agent as a result of such failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount and (y) thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Swing Line Advances. The obligation of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available its pro rata portion of the amounts required pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above shall not be affected by the failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make such amounts available, and no Revolving Credit Lender shall have any liability to Company or any Permitted Borrower, Agent, Swing Line Lender, or any other Revolving Credit Lender or any other Person for another Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to make the amounts required under clause (i) or (ii) available.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no Revolving Credit Lender shall be required to make any Revolving Credit Advance to refund a Swing Line Advance or to purchase a participation in a Swing Line Advance (including without limitation any Swing Line Advance funded under the “Sweep to Loan” system) if at least two (2) Business Days prior to the making of such Swing Line Advance by Swing Line Lender, the officers of Swing Line Lender immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received written notice from Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender that Swing Line Advances should be suspended based on the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”; provided, however that the obligation of Revolving Credit Lenders to make such Revolving Credit Advances or to purchase such participations shall be reinstated upon the date which such Default or Event of Default has been waived by the requisite Lenders.

2.6 Prime-based Interest Payments. Interest on the unpaid balance of all Prime-based Advances of the Revolving Credit and all Swing Line Advances carried at the Prime-based Rate from time to time outstanding shall accrue from the date of such Advance to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (and until paid), at a per annum interest rate equal to the Prime-based Rate, and shall be payable in immediately available funds (a) with respect to Swing Line Advances, quarterly commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter next succeeding the calendar quarter during which the initial Swing Line Advance is made and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, and (b) with respect to Advances of the Revolving Credit, quarterly commencing on the first day of the calendar quarter next succeeding the calendar month during which the initial Advance of the Revolving Credit is made and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter. Interest accruing at the Prime-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation effect shall be given to any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Prime-based Rate on the date of such change in the Prime-based Rate.

2.7 Eurocurrency-based Interest Payments and Quoted Rate Interest Payments.

	(a)	Interest on each Eurocurrency-based Advance of the Revolving Credit and all Swing Line Advances carried at the Eurocurrency-based Rate shall accrue at its Applicable Interest Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (and, if any Interest Period shall exceed three months, then on the last Business Day of the third month of such Interest Period, and at three month intervals thereafter). Interest accruing at the Eurocurrency-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year (except that any such Advances made in Sterling or any other Alternative Currency with respect to which applicable law or market custom so requires shall be calculated based on a 365 day year, or as otherwise required under applicable law or market custom) and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to but not including the last day thereof. Interest due on a Eurocurrency-based Advance made in an Alternative Currency shall be paid in such Alternative Currency.

	(b)	Interest on each Quoted Rate Advance of the Swing Line shall accrue at its Quoted Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Interest accruing at the Quoted Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year (except that any such Advances made in any Alternative Currency with respect to which applicable law or market custom so requires shall be calculated based on a 365 day year, or as otherwise required under applicable law or market custom) and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to, but not including the last day thereof.

	(c)	If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to the National Currency Unit of a Participating Member State shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market or other applicable interbank market, as the case may be, for the basis of accrual of interest or fees with respect to the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace

such expressed basis, effective as of and from the date on which such country becomes a Participating Member State; provided that if any Eurocurrency-based Advance in the currency of such country is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Advance, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

	(b)	Company or the Permitted Borrowers may prepay all or part of the outstanding balance of any Swing Line Advance carried at the Prime-based Rate at any time, provided that, unless the “Sweep to Loan” system shall be in effect hereunder, the amount of any partial prepayment shall be at least Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) and, after giving effect to any such partial prepayment, the aggregate balance of such Swing Line Advances remaining outstanding, if any, shall be at least One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), or, in the case of any Swing Line Advances outstanding of any Permitted Borrowers formed under the laws of The Netherlands, the Dollar Amount of Euro 50,000, if such Dollar Amount is greater than $100,000. Subject to Section 11.1 hereof, Company may prepay all or part of any Swing Line Advances carried at the Eurocurrency-based Rate or Quoted Rate (subject to not less than two (2) Business Days’ notice to Swing Line Lender and Agent) only on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, provided that the amount of any such partial payment shall be at least Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) and, after giving effect to any such partial prepayment, the unpaid portion of such Advance which is refunded or converted under Section 2.5(c) hereof shall be at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000).

	(c)	Any prepayment made in accordance with this Section shall be subject to Section 11.1 hereof, but otherwise without premium, penalty or prejudice to the right to readvance under the terms of this Agreement.

2.11 Determination, Denomination and Redenomination of Alternative Currency Advances. Whenever, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement:

	(a)	an Advance of the Revolving Credit or a Swing Line Advance is initially funded, as opposed to any refunding or conversion thereof, in an Alternative Currency, the amount to be advanced hereunder will be the equivalent in such Alternative Currency of the Dollar Amount of such Advance;

	(b)	an existing Advance of the Revolving Credit or a Swing Line Advance denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be refunded, in whole or in part, with an Advance denominated in the same Alternative Currency, the amount of the new Advance shall be continued in the amount of the Alternative Currency so refunded;

	(c)	an existing Advance of the Revolving Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be converted, in whole or in part, to an Advance denominated in another Alternative Currency, the amount of the new Advance shall be that amount of the Alternative Currency of the new Advance which may be purchased, using the most favorable spot exchange rate determined by Agent to be available to it for the sale of Dollars for such other Alternative Currency at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Detroit time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last day of the

		Eurocurrency Interest Period applicable to the existing Advance, with the Dollar Amount of the existing Advance, or portion thereof being converted; and

	(d)	an existing Advance of the Revolving Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency is to be converted, in whole or in part, to an Advance denominated in Dollars, the amount of the new Advance shall be the Dollar Amount of the existing Advance, or portion thereof being converted (determined as aforesaid).

2.12 Prime-based Advance in Absence of Election or Upon Default. If, (a) as to any outstanding Eurocurrency-based Advance of the Revolving Credit, or any Swing Line Advance carried at the Eurocurrency-based Rate, Agent has not received payment of all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or does not receive a timely Request for Advance meeting the requirements of Section 2.3 or 2.5(c) hereof with respect to the refunding or conversion of such Advance, or (b) if any Advance denominated in an Alternative Currency or any deemed Advance under Section 3.6 hereof in respect of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency cannot be refunded or made, as the case may be, in such Alternative Currency by virtue of Section 11.3 hereof, or (c) subject to Section 2.9 hereof, if on such day a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the principal amount thereof which is not then prepaid in the case of a Eurocurrency-based Advance shall, absent a contrary election of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, be converted automatically to a Prime-based Advance and Agent shall thereafter promptly notify Company of said action. If a Eurocurrency-based Advance converted hereunder is payable in an Alternative Currency, the Prime-based Advance shall be in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of such Eurocurrency-based Advance at such time and Agent and Revolving Credit Lenders shall use said Prime-based Advance to fund payment of the Alternative Currency obligation, all subject to the provisions of Section 2.14 hereof. Company and the Permitted Borrowers, if applicable, shall reimburse Agent and Revolving Credit Lenders on demand for any costs incurred by Agent or any of Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, resulting from the conversion pursuant to this Section 2.12 of Eurocurrency-based Advances payable in an Alternative Currency to Prime-based Advances.

2.13 Revolving Credit Facility Fee. From the Restatement Date to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Company and the Domestic Permitted Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for distribution to Revolving Credit Lenders (as set forth below), a Revolving Credit Facility Fee determined by multiplying the Applicable Fee Percentage per annum times the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment then applicable under Section 2.15 hereof (whether used or unused) then in effect computed on a daily basis. The Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing July 1, 2007 (in respect of the prior calendar quarter or portion thereof), and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next Business Day. Upon receipt of such payment Agent shall make prompt payment to each Revolving Credit Lender of its share of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee based upon its respective Revolving Credit Percentage.

2.14 Currency Appreciation; Mandatory Reduction of Indebtedness.

(a)	Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment. If at any time and for any reason, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances of the Revolving Credit hereunder to Company and to the Permitted Borrowers made in Dollars and the aggregate Current Dollar Equivalent of all Advances of the Revolving Credit outstanding hereunder to Company and to the Permitted Borrowers in any Alternative Currency as of such time, plus the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding hereunder as of such time (determined as aforesaid), plus the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations of Company and the Permitted Borrowers which shall be outstanding (based on the Dollar Amount of any Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and the Current Dollar Equivalent of any Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency), as of such time exceeds the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment (as used in this clause (a), the “Excess”), Company and the Permitted Borrowers shall:

	(i)	immediately repay that portion of such Indebtedness then carried as a Prime-based Advance, if any, by the Dollar Amount of such Excess, and/or reduce any pending request for an Advance in Dollars on such day by the Dollar Amount of the Excess, to the extent thereof; and

	(ii)	on the last day of each Interest Period of any Eurocurrency-based Advance outstanding as of such time, until the necessary reductions of Indebtedness under this Section 2.14(a) have been fully made, repay the Indebtedness carried in such Advances and/or reduce any requests for refunding or conversion of such Advances submitted (or to be submitted) by Company or the applicable Permitted Borrower in respect of such Advances, by the amount in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as the case may be, of the Excess, to the extent thereof.

	Compliance with this Section 2.14(a) shall be tested on the last day of each Interest Period in effect from time to time hereunder and may be tested on any other basis satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion, provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time while the aggregate Advances of the Revolving Credit available to be borrowed hereunder (based on the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment then in effect) equal or exceed Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), compliance with this Section 2.14(a) shall be tested as of the last day of each calendar quarter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, or if any Excess remains after recalculating said Excess based on ninety-five percent (95%) of the Current Dollar Equivalent of any Advances or Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies (and one hundred percent (100%) of any Advances or Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars), Company and the Permitted Borrowers shall be obligated immediately to reduce the foregoing Indebtedness hereunder by an amount sufficient to eliminate such Excess.

	Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, or if any Excess remains after recalculating

	said Excess based on ninety-five percent (95%) of the Dollar Amount of any such Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations denominated in Alternate Currencies and one hundred percent (100%) of any such Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations denominated in Dollars, the Foreign Borrowers shall be obligated immediately to reduce the foregoing Indebtedness hereunder by an amount sufficient to eliminate such Excess.

(b)	Permitted Borrower Sublimit. If at any time and for any reason with respect to any Permitted Borrower, the aggregate principal amount (tested in the manner set forth in clause (a) above) of all Advances of the Revolving Credit and of the Swing Line outstanding hereunder to such Permitted Borrower, plus the Letter of Credit Obligations under any Letters of Credit to or for the account of such Permitted Borrower (tested in the manner set forth in clause (a) above), which Advances and Letters of Credit are made or issued, or to be made or issued, in Dollars and ninety percent (90%) of the aggregate Current Dollar Equivalent of all such Advances and Letter of Credit Obligations for the account of such Permitted Borrower in any Alternative Currency as of such time, exceeds the applicable Permitted Borrower Sublimit (as used in this clause (b), the “Excess”), then in each case, such Permitted Borrower shall

	(i)	immediately repay that portion of the Indebtedness outstanding to such Permitted Borrower then carried as a Prime-based Advance, if any, by the Dollar Amount of such Excess, and/or reduce on such day any pending request for an Advance in Dollars submitted by such Permitted Borrower by the Dollar Amount of such Excess, to the extent thereof; and

	(ii)	on the last day of each Interest Period of any Eurocurrency-based Advance outstanding to such Permitted Borrower as of such time, until the necessary reductions of Indebtedness under this Section 2.14(b) have been fully made, repay such Indebtedness carried in such Advances and/or reduce any requests for refunding or conversion of such Advances submitted (or to be submitted) by such Permitted Borrower in respect of such Advances, by the amount in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency, as the case may be, of such Excess, to the extent thereof.

Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Permitted Borrower’s compliance with this Section 2.14(b) shall be tested as of the last day of each calendar quarter or, upon the written request of Company from time to time, as of the last day of each calendar month, provided Company furnishes Agent with current monthly financial statements complying with the requirements set forth in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) of Section 7.3(c) hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, compliance with this Section 2.14(b) shall be tested on a daily or other basis satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion.

2.15 Optional Reduction or Termination of Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Company may upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent, permanently reduce the Revolving

Credit Aggregate Commitment in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty, provided that: (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment shall be in an aggregate amount equal to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) or a larger integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); (ii) each reduction shall be accompanied by the payment of the Revolving Credit Facility Fee, if any, accrued to the date of such reduction; (iii) Company or any Permitted Borrower, as applicable, shall prepay in accordance with the terms hereof the amount, if any, by which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Advances (using the Current Dollar Equivalent of any such Advance outstanding in any Alternative Currency) of the Revolving Credit, plus the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Advances outstanding hereunder (using the Current Dollar Equivalent of any such Advance outstanding in an Alternative Currency), plus the aggregate undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (using the Current Dollar Equivalent thereof for any Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency), plus the unreimbursed amount of any draws under any Letters of Credit (determined as aforesaid), exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment as so reduced, together with interest thereon to the date of prepayment; (iv) if the termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment requires the prepayment of a Eurocurrency-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance, the termination or reduction may be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency-based Advance or such Quoted Rate Advance; and (v) no reduction shall reduce the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment to an amount which is less than the aggregate undrawn amount of any Letters of Credit outstanding at such time. Reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and any accompanying prepayments of Advances of the Revolving Credit shall be distributed by Agent to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage thereof, and will not be available for reinstatement by or readvance to Company or any Permitted Borrower, and any accompanying prepayments of Advances of the Swing Line shall be distributed by Agent to Swing Line Lender and will not be available for reinstatement by or readvance to Company. Any reductions of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment hereunder shall reduce each Revolving Credit Lender’s portion thereof proportionately (based on the applicable Revolving Credit Percentages), and shall be permanent and irrevocable. Any payments made pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to outstanding Prime-based Advances under the Revolving Credit, next to Swing Line Advances carried at the Prime-based Rate, next to Eurocurrency-based Advances of the Revolving Credit and then to Swing Line Advances carried at the Eurocurrency-based Rate or the Quoted Rate.

2.16 Extensions of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. (a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Company may, by written notice to Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender (which notice shall be irrevocable and which shall not be deemed effective unless actually received by Agent and each Revolving Credit Lender) prior to April 30 but not before March 31st of each year, request that Revolving Credit Lenders extend the then applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date to a date that is one year later than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date then in effect (such request, a “Request”).

(a)

Each Revolving Credit Lender shall, within 30 days of receipt of such request, notify Agent in writing whether such Revolving Credit Lender consents to the extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, such consent to be in the sole discretion of such Revolving Credit Lender. If any Revolving Credit Lender does

		not so notify Agent of its decision within such 30 day period, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have not consented to such request of the Borrower.

	(b)	Agent shall promptly notify Company whether Revolving Credit Lenders have consented to such request. If Agent does not so notify Company within 30 days of Agent’s receipt such Request, Agent shall be deemed to have notified Company that Revolving Credit Lenders have not consented to Company’s request.

	(c)	Each Revolving Credit Lender which elects not to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or fails to so notify Agent of such consent (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) hereby agrees that if any other Revolving Credit Lender or financial institution acceptable to Company and Agent offers to purchase such Non- Consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment within 180 days after receipt of the related Request for a purchase price equal to the sum of all amounts then owing with respect to the outstanding Advances (and participations in any Swing Line Advances or any Letters of Credit) and all other amounts accrued for the account of such Non- Consenting Lender, such Non-Consenting Lender will promptly assign, sell and transfer all of its right, title, interest and obligations with respect to the foregoing to such other Revolving Credit Lender or financial institution pursuant to and on the terms specified in the form of Assignment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E. Before assigning to a financial institution other than a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (d), each Revolving Credit Lender that has elected to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (a “Consenting Lender”) shall have the right, but not any obligation, pro rata with all other Consenting Lenders which elect to purchase a pro rata share of such non-consenting Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment (and participations in Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit) to purchase each such Non-Consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage thereof pursuant to this clause (d). The Consenting Lenders which elect to exercise their purchase options hereunder shall by mutual agreement determine the amount of each Non-Consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment being purchased by each Consenting Lender, provided that if there is any dispute among the Consenting Lenders such purchase shall be based upon a pro rata sharing of each Non-Consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. Only if the Consenting Lenders have determined not to purchase all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment may financial institutions other than a Consenting Lender then purchase such Non-Consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment.

	(d)	Except as set forth in subparagraph (f) hereof, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Revolving Credit Maturity Date will not be extended unless all Revolving Credit Lenders have consented to the extension or if another Lender or

		financial institution has purchased each such Non-Consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment pursuant to the terms of clause (d) above.

	(e)	In the event, after giving effect to any assignments to Consenting Lenders under Section 2.16(d) hereof or otherwise, Revolving Credit Lenders holding eighty percent (80%) or more of the Revolving Credit Percentages (the “Approving Percentages”) have consented to an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date hereunder, such extension shall become effective, notwithstanding that all of Revolving Credit Lenders have failed to approve such extension in accordance with this Section 2.16, so long as Company, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date then in effect, reduces the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment to an amount not greater than the product of the Approving Percentages times the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment then in effect and repays the Indebtedness then outstanding hereunder (and, if necessary causes any outstanding Letters of Credit to be terminated or discharged) to the extent such Indebtedness exceeds the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment as so reduced, such that the entire Indebtedness outstanding to the Non-Consenting Lenders shall have been paid and discharged in full. Reductions may be made without regard to the notice provisions set forth in Section 2.15 hereof, but shall otherwise comply with said Section 2.15, except that any amounts repaid by Company against the Indebtedness pursuant to this subparagraph (f) shall be first applied to the Indebtedness outstanding to the Non- Consenting Lenders still holding Indebtedness hereunder at such time, with any remaining amounts applied in accordance with Section 2.15 hereof and the Revolving Credit Percentages held by such Non-Consenting Lenders shall be reallocated to the Consenting Lenders (giving effect to any assignments, as aforesaid), pro rata, based on the Revolving Credit Percentages then in effect and Agent shall distribute to the remaining Revolving Credit Lenders a revised Schedule 1.1 reflecting such reallocated Revolving Credit Percentages.

2.17 Revolving Credit Optional Increase. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and provided that the Borrowers have not previously elected to terminate the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment, Borrowers may request that the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment be increased in an aggregate amount (for all such Requests under this Section 2.17 not to exceed the Revolving Credit Optional Increase, subject, in each case, to the other terms and requirements of this Agreement and to the satisfaction concurrently with or prior to the date of each such request of the following conditions:

(a)

The Borrowers shall have delivered to Agent a written request for such increase, specifying the amount of Revolving Credit Optional Increase thereby requested (each such request, a “Request for Increase”); provided, however that in the event the Borrowers have previously delivered a Request for Increase pursuant to this Section 2.17, Borrowers may not deliver a subsequent Request for Increase until all the conditions to effectiveness of such first Request for Increase have been fully satisfied hereunder (or such Request for Increase has been withdrawn), and Borrowers may not submit more than three (3) Requests for Increases hereunder;

	(b)	a lender or lenders meeting the requirements of Section 13.8(c) hereof and acceptable to the Borrowers, Agent and Issuing Lender (including, for the purposes of this Section 2.17, any existing Lender which agrees to increase its commitment hereunder, the “New Lender(s)”) shall have become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering a New Lender Addendum for a minimum amount (including for the purposes of this Section 2.17, the existing commitment of any existing Revolving Credit Lender) for each such New Lender of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) and an aggregate amount for all such New Lenders of that portion of the then available Revolving Credit Optional Increase covered by the applicable Request, provided, however that each New Lender shall remit to Agent funds in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Percentage (after giving effect to this Section 2.17) of all Advances of the Revolving Credit then outstanding, such sums to be reallocated among and paid to the existing Revolving Credit Lenders based upon the new Revolving Credit Percentages as determined below;

	(c)	Borrowers (i) shall have paid to Agent for distribution to the existing Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, all interest, fees (including the Revolving Credit Facility Fee and the Letter of Credit Fees) and other amounts, if any, accrued to the effective date of such increase and any breakage fees attributable to the reduction (prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period) of any outstanding Eurocurrency-based Advances, calculated on the basis set forth in Section 11.1 hereof as though Borrower has prepaid such Advances and (ii) shall have paid to each New Lender a special letter of credit fee on the Letters of Credit outstanding on the effective date of such increase, calculated on the basis of the Letter of Credit Fees which would be applicable to such Letters of Credit if issued on the date of such increase, for the period from the effective date of such increase to the expiration date of such Letters of Credit;

	(d)	the Borrowers shall have executed and delivered to Agent new Revolving Credit Notes payable to each of the New Lenders in the face amount of each such New Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment (after giving effect to this Section 2.17) and, if applicable, renewal and replacement Revolving Credit Notes payable to each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders in the face amount of each such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment (after giving effect to this Section 2.17), each of such Revolving Credit Notes to be substantially in the form specified by this Agreement, and dated as of the effective date of such increase (with appropriate insertions relevant to such Notes and acceptable to the applicable Revolving Credit Lender, including the New Lenders);

	(e)	the representations and warranties made by Borrowers, each Guarantor or any other party to any of the Loan Documents (excluding Agent and Lenders) in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the representations and warranties of any of the foregoing which are contained in any certificate, document or financial or other statement furnished at any time hereunder or

		thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the effective date of such increase, and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing as of such date and Borrowers shall have delivered an updated Covenant Compliance Report; and

	(f)	such other amendments, acknowledgments, consents, documents, instruments, any registrations, if any, shall have been executed and delivered and/or obtained by Borrower as required by Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, in their reasonable discretion.

Promptly on or after the date on which all of the conditions to such Request for Increase set forth above have been satisfied, Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each of Revolving Credit Lenders of the amount of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment as increased pursuant this Section 2.17 and the date on which such increase has become effective and shall prepare and distribute to the Borrowers and each of Revolving Credit Lenders (including the New Lenders) a revised Schedule 1.1 to the Credit Agreement setting forth the applicable new Revolving Credit Percentages of Revolving Credit Lenders (including the New Lender(s), taking into account such increase and assignments (if any).

2.18 Application of Revolving Credit Advances. Advances of the Revolving Credit (including Swing Line Advances) shall be available, subject to the terms hereof, to fund working capital needs, to repay or prepay the New Convertible Subordinated Debt and/or the BCc Refinancing (or any refinancing of the New Convertible Subordinated Debt and/or the BCc Refinancing), including any interest, fees or expenses related thereto, or other general corporate purposes of any of the Borrowers.

2.19 Additional Mandatory Prepayments.

	(a)	Upon the payment in full of the Term Loan, any prepayments required to be made on the Term Loan pursuant to Sections 4.9(b) and (c) of this Agreement shall instead be applied to prepay any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit, without resulting in a permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment. Subject to Section 10.2 hereof, any payments made pursuant to this Section shall be applied first to outstanding Prime-based Advances under the Revolving Credit, next to Swing Line Advances carried at the Prime-based Rate, next to Eurocurrency-based Advances under the Revolving Credit, and then to Swing Line Advances carried at the Quoted Rate. If any amounts remain thereafter, a portion of such prepayment equivalent to the undrawn amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit shall be held by Lender as cash collateral for the Reimbursement Obligations, with any additional prepayment monies being applied to any Fees, costs or expenses due and outstanding under this Agreement, and with the remainder of such prepayment thereafter being returned to Borrowers.

	(b)	To the extent that, on the date any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Credit Advances under this Section 2.19 or payment pursuant to the terms of any of the

Loan Documents is due, the Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit or any other Indebtedness to be prepaid is being carried, in whole or in part, at the Eurocurrency-based Rate and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may deposit the amount of such mandatory prepayment in a cash collateral account to be held by the Agent, for and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders, on such terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Agent and upon such deposit the obligation of Borrowers to make such mandatory prepayment shall be deemed satisfied. Subject to the terms and conditions of said cash collateral account, sums on deposit in said cash collateral account shall be applied (until exhausted) to reduce the principal balance of the Revolving Credit on the last day of each Eurocurrency-Interest Period attributable to the Eurocurrency-based Advances of such Revolving Advance, thereby avoiding breakage costs under Section 11.1 hereof; provided, however, that if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred at any time while sums are on deposit in the cash collateral account, Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to apply such sums to reduce the principal balance of such Eurocurrency-based Advances prior to the last day of the applicable Eurocurrency-Interest Period, and the Borrowers will be obligated to pay any resulting breakage costs under Section 11.1.

3. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

3.1 Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Issuing Lender shall through the Issuing Office, at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof until thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, upon the written request of an Account Party(ies) accompanied by a duly executed Letter of Credit Agreement and such other documentation related to the requested Letter of Credit as Issuing Lender may require, issue Letters of Credit for the account of such Account Party(ies), in an aggregate amount for all Letters of Credit issued hereunder at any one time outstanding not to exceed the Letter of Credit Maximum Amount.

3.4 Letter of Credit Fees.

(a)

A non-refundable per annum letter of credit fee with respect to the undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto (based on the Dollar Amount of any Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and the Current Dollar

		Equivalent of any Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency) in the amount of the Applicable Fee Percentage (determined with reference to Schedule 4.1 to this Agreement).

	(b)	A letter of credit facing fee in the amount specified in the Fee Letter to be retained by Issuing Lender for its own Account.

	(c)	If any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or cause to be deemed applicable any reserve, special deposit, limitation or similar requirement against letters of credit issued or participated in by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender or (ii) impose on Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement, the Letters of Credit or any participations in such Letters of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be to increase the cost or expense to Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender of issuing or maintaining or participating in any of the Letters of Credit (which increase in cost or expense shall be determined by Issuing Lender’s or such Revolving Credit Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases and expenses resulting from such events), then, upon demand by Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, Company shall, within thirty (30) days following demand for payment, pay to Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender for such increased cost and expense, together with interest on each such amount from ten days after the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Prime-based Rate. A certificate as to such increased cost or expense incurred by Issuing Lender or such Revolving Credit Lender, as the case may be, as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii) above, submitted to Company, shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

	(d)	All payments by any Borrower to Issuing Lender or Revolving Credit Lenders under this Section 3.4 shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Issuing Office or such other office of Issuing Lender as may be designated from time to time by written notice to the Borrowers by Issuing Lender. The fees described in clause (a) and (b) above shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances, shall be payable quarterly in advance (or such lesser period, if applicable, for Letters of Credit issued with stated expiration dates of less than three months) upon the issuance of each such Letter of Credit, and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed (on a quarterly basis as aforesaid) as of the beginning of each quarter as of which such Letter of Credit is outstanding commencing on the date of issuance thereof, for the actual number of days from the beginning of such quarter to the earlier of the beginning of the next quarter or the stated expiration thereof.

3.5 Other Fees. In connection with the Letters of Credit, and in addition to the Letter of Credit Fees, Company and any other applicable Account Party(ies) shall pay, for the sole account of Issuing Lender, standard documentation, administration, payment and cancellation charges assessed by Issuing Lender or the Issuing Office, at the times, in the amounts and on the terms set forth or to be set forth from time to time in the standard fee schedule of the Issuing Office in effect from time to time and delivered to the relevant Account Party(ies).

3.6 Drawings and Demands for Payment Under Letters of Credit.

(a)

Company and each other applicable Account Party (as to the Letter of Credit which has been issued in the name of such Account Party) agree to pay to Issuing Lender, on the day on which Issuing Lender shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, an amount equal to the amount paid by Issuing Lender in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit and all expenses paid or incurred by Issuing Lender relative thereto. Unless Company or the other applicable Account Party shall have made such payment to Issuing Lender on such day, upon each such payment by Issuing Lender, Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have disbursed to Company or the other applicable Account Party, and Company or the other applicable Account Party shall be deemed to have elected to substitute for its reimbursement obligation, with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, a Prime-based Advance of the Revolving Credit and, with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in any Alternative Currency, a Eurocurrency-based Advance of the Revolving Credit in the applicable Alternative Currency with an Interest Period, commencing three (3) Business Days following the date of Issuing Lender’s payment pursuant to the applicable Letter of Credit, of one month (or, if unavailable, such other Interest Period as selected by Issuing Lender in its sole discretion), in each case for the account of Revolving Credit Lenders in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuing Lender in respect of such draft or other demand under such Letter of Credit. Such Prime-based Advance or Eurocurrency-based Advance shall be deemed disbursed notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any conditions for disbursement of any Advance set forth in Section 2 hereof and, to the extent of the Advances so disbursed, the reimbursement obligation of Company or the other applicable Account Party under this Section 3.6 shall be deemed satisfied, provided that, with respect to any such Eurocurrency-based Advance deemed to have been made hereunder, Company or the applicable Account Party (as to the Letter of Credit which has been issued in the name of such Account Party) shall also be obligated to pay to Issuing Lender, for Issuing Lender’s sole account, interest on the aggregate amount paid by Issuing Lender under the applicable draft or other demand for payment at Issuing Lender’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by Issuing Lender as a result of such failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurocurrency-based Advances, from the date of Issuing Lender’s payment pursuant to any Letter of Credit to the date of the commencement of the Interest Period for the applicable Eurocurrency-based

		Advance deemed to have been made, as aforesaid, such interest (the “Gap Interest”) to be due and payable on the last day of the initial Interest Period established for such deemed Advance.

	(b)	If Issuing Lender shall honor a draft or other demand for payment presented or made under any Letter of Credit, Issuing Lender shall provide notice thereof to Company and each other applicable Account Party on the date such draft or demand is honored, and to each Revolving Credit Lender on such date unless Company or other applicable Account Party shall have satisfied its reimbursement obligation under Section 3.6(a) hereof by payment to Issuing Lender on such date. Issuing Lender shall further use reasonable efforts to provide notice to Company or other applicable Account Party prior to honoring any such draft or other demand for payment, but such notice, or the failure to provide such notice, shall not affect the rights or obligations of Issuing Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit or the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, including without limitation the obligations of Company or other applicable Account Party under Section 3.6(a) hereof.

	(c)	Upon issuance by Issuing Lender of each Letter of Credit hereunder, each Revolving Credit Lender shall automatically acquire a pro rata participation interest in such Letter of Credit and each related Letter of Credit Payment based on its respective Revolving Credit Percentage. Each Revolving Credit Lender, on the date a draft or demand under any Letter of Credit is honored (or the next succeeding Business Day if the notice required to be given by Issuing Lender to Revolving Credit Lenders under Section 3.6(b) hereof is not given to Revolving Credit Lenders prior to 2:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on such date of draft or demand) or three (3) Business Days thereafter in respect of draws or demands under Letters of Credit issued in any Alternative Currency, shall make its Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount paid by Issuing Lender, and not reimbursed by Company or other applicable Account Party on such day, available in the applicable Permitted Currency and in immediately available funds at the principal office of Agent for the account of Issuing Lender. If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made such pro rata portion available to Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender (whose obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint with any other Person), Company and any other applicable Account Party agree to pay to Agent for the account of Issuing Lender forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount was paid by Issuing Lender until such amount is so made available to Agent at a per annum rate equal to the interest rate applicable during such period to the related Advance deemed to have been disbursed under Section 3.6(a) in respect of the reimbursement obligation of Company and any other applicable Account Party, as set forth in Section 2.4(c)(i) or 2.4(c)(ii) hereof, as the case may be. If such Revolving Credit Lender shall pay such amount to Agent for the account of Issuing Lender together with such interest, such amount so paid shall be deemed to constitute an Advance by such Revolving Credit Lender disbursed in respect of the reimbursement obligation of Company or other applicable Account Party under Section 3.6(a) hereof for purposes of this Agreement,

effective as of the dates applicable under said Section 3.6(a). The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make its pro rata portion of any such amount paid by Issuing Lender available to Agent for the account of Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation to make available its pro rata portion of such amount, but no Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for failure of any other Revolving Credit Lender to make such pro rata portion available to Agent. Furthermore, in the event of the failure by Company or the Permitted Borrowers to pay the Gap Interest required under the proviso to Section 3.6(a) hereof, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall pay to Issuing Lender, within one Business Day following receipt from Issuing Lender of written request therefor, its pro rata portion of said Gap Interest, excluding any portion thereof attributable to the Applicable Margin.

Notwithstanding the foregoing however, no Revolving Credit Lender shall acquire a pro rata risk participation in a Letter of Credit or related Letter of Credit Payment if the officers of Issuing Lender immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received written notice from Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit that the issuance of Letters of Credit should be suspended based on the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”; provided, however that each Revolving Credit Lender shall acquire a pro rata risk participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Payment upon the date on which such Default or Event of Default is waived by the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable. In the event that Issuing Lender receives such a notice, Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn by Agent or such Revolving Credit Lender or until the requisite Lenders have waived such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d)

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require or authorize any Lender to issue any Letter of Credit, it being recognized that Issuing Lender shall be the sole issuer of Letters of Credit under this Agreement.

3.7 Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of Company and any other Account Party to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Lender or Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to Letter of Credit Obligations under Section 3.6 hereof, shall be unconditional and irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including, without limitation:

	(a)	Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any documentation relating to any Letter of Credit or to any transaction related in any way to any Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Documents”);

	(b)	Any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, or any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any interest in collateral or security, with respect to or under any of the Letter of Credit Documents;

	(c)	The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which Company or any other Account Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), Agent, Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender or any other person or entity, whether in connection with any of the Letter of Credit Documents, the transactions contemplated herein or therein or any unrelated transactions;

	(d)	Any draft or other statement or 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;

	(e)	Payment by Issuing Lender to the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit;

	(f)	Any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of Agent, Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender or any party to any of the Letter of Credit Documents to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred upon Agent, Issuing Lender, any Revolving Credit Lender or any such party under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Letter of Credit Documents, or any other acts or omissions on the part of Agent, Issuing Lender, any Revolving Credit Lender or any such party; or

	(g)	Any other event or circumstance that would, in the absence of this Section 3.7, result in the release or discharge by operation of law or otherwise of Company or any other Account Party from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in Section 3.6 hereof.

No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation or any defense of any kind or nature which Company or any other Account Party has or may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit shall be available hereunder to Company or any other Account Party against Agent, Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender. With respect to any Letter of Credit, nothing contained in this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to prevent Company or the other Account Parties, after satisfaction in full of the absolute and unconditional obligations of Company and any other Account Parties hereunder, from asserting in a separate action any claim, defense, set off or other right which they (or any of them) may have against Agent, Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender in connection with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Risk Under Letters of Credit.

(a)

In the administration and handling of Letters of Credit and any security therefor, or any documents or instruments given in connection therewith, Issuing Lender shall have the sole right to take or refrain from taking any and all actions under or upon the Letters of Credit.

	(b)	Subject to other terms and conditions of this Agreement, Issuing Lender shall issue the Letters of Credit and shall hold the documents related thereto in its own name and shall make all collections thereunder and otherwise administer the Letters of Credit in accordance with Issuing Lender’s regularly established practices and procedures and, except pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof, Issuing Lender will have no further obligation with respect thereto. In the administration of Letters of Credit, Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted on the advice of counsel, accountants, appraisers or other experts selected by Issuing Lender with due care and Issuing Lender may rely upon any notice, communication, certificate or other statement from Company, any Account Party, beneficiaries of Letters of Credit, or any other Person which Issuing Lender believes to be authentic. Issuing Lender will, upon request, furnish Revolving Credit Lenders with copies of Letter of Credit Agreements, Letters of Credit and documents related thereto.

	(c)	In connection with the issuance and administration of Letters of Credit and the assignments hereunder, Issuing Lender makes no representation and shall have no responsibility with respect to (i) the obligations of Company or any Account Party or the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any document or instrument given in connection therewith, or the taking of any action with respect to same, (ii) the financial condition of, any representations made by, or any act or omission of, Company, any other applicable Account Party or any other Person, or (iii) any failure or delay in exercising any rights or powers possessed by Issuing Lender in its capacity as issuer of Letters of Credit in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Revolving Credit Lenders expressly acknowledge that they have made and will continue to make their own evaluations of Company’s and the Account Parties’ creditworthiness without reliance on any representation of Issuing Lender or its officers, agents and employees.

	(d)	If at any time Issuing Lender shall recover any part of any unreimbursed amount for any draw or other demand for payment under a Letter of Credit, or any interest thereon, Issuing Lender shall receive same for the pro rata benefit of Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages and shall promptly deliver to each Revolving Credit Lender its share thereof, less such Revolving Credit Lender’s pro rata share of the costs of such recovery, including court costs and attorney’s fees. If at any time any Revolving Credit Lender shall receive from any source whatsoever any payment on any such unreimbursed amount or interest thereon in excess of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of such payment, such Revolving Credit Lender will promptly pay over such excess to Issuing Lender, for redistribution in accordance with this Agreement.

	3.9	Indemnification.The Company and the Domestic Permitted Borrowers and, as to each Letter of Credit which such Person is the Account Party, each other Account Party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold harmless Lenders, Issuing Lender and Agent, and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any

		kind or nature whatsoever which Lenders, Issuing Lender or Agent or any such person may incur or which may be claimed against any of them by reason of or in connection with any Letter of Credit, and neither any Lender, Issuing Lender nor Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or for any acts or omissions of any beneficiary in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by Issuing Lender to the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit against presentation of documents which do not strictly comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit (unless such payment resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender); (iv) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit; or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever arising in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that the Company and the Domestic Permitted Borrowers and any other Account Parties shall not be required to indemnify Lenders, Issuing Lender and Agent and such other Persons for any liabilities resulting from the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or wrongful dishonor of any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or other demand for payment and other documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, and; provided, further, that the Issuing Lender shall be liable to the Company and the Domestic Permitted Borrowers and any other Account Parties to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (but not any indirect or consequential) damages suffered by the Company and the Domestic Permitted Borrowers or such other Account Party as a result of such actions or omissions by Issuing Lender.

	(b)	It is understood that in making any payment under a Letter of Credit Issuing Lender will rely on documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein without further investigation and regardless of any notice or information to the contrary. It is further acknowledged and agreed that Company or any other Account Party may have rights against the beneficiary or others in connection with any Letter of Credit with respect to which Agent, Issuing Lender or Lenders are alleged to be liable and it shall be a condition of the assertion of any liability of Agent, Issuing Lender or Lenders by Company or any other Account Party under this Section that Company or the other applicable Account Party shall contemporaneously pursue all remedies in respect of the alleged loss against such beneficiary and any other parties obligated or liable in connection with such Letter of Credit and any related transactions.

3.10 Right of Reimbursement. Each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to reimburse Issuing Lender on demand, pro rata in accordance with its respective Revolving Credit Percentage, for (i) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Issuing Lender to be reimbursed by Company or any other Account Party pursuant to any Letter of Credit Agreement or any Letter of Credit, to the extent not reimbursed by Company or any other Account Party and

(ii) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, fees, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Issuing Lender (in its capacity as issuer of any Letter of Credit) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any documentation or any transaction relating thereto, or any Letter of Credit Agreement, to the extent not reimbursed by Company or any Account Party, except to the extent that such liabilities, losses, costs or expenses were incurred by Issuing Lender as a result of Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or by Issuing Lender’s wrongful dishonor of any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereunder of a draft or other demand for payment and other documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

3.11 Existing Letters of Credit. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be a Letter of Credit, and each application or other documentation submitted in connection with each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be a Letter of Credit Agreement. On the date of execution of this Agreement, Issuing Lender shall be deemed automatically to have sold and transferred, and each other Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed automatically, irrevocably, and unconditionally to have purchased and received from Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (on the terms set forth herein), to the extent of such other Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage, in each Existing Letter of Credit and the applicable Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Letter of Credit Fees paid under the Prior Credit Agreement shall not be recalculated, redistributed or reallocated by Agent to Revolving Credit Lenders; provided that Company shall pay to any new Revolving Credit Lenders becoming parties hereto on the Restatement Date (or any existing Revolving Credit Lender increasing its Revolving Credit Percentage on such date) a special letter of credit fee on the Existing Letters of Credit, calculated on the basis of the Letter of Credit Fees which would be applicable to such Existing Letters of Credit if issued on the Restatement Date (but in the case of any existing Revolving Credit Lender, computed only to the extent of the applicable increase in its Revolving Credit Percentage) for the period from the Restatement Date to the expiration date of such Existing Letters of Credit.

4. TERM LOAN.

	(i)	both before and after the making of the initial Term Loan Advance or any refunding or conversion of any Term Loan Advance, the obligations of the Company and the Permitted Borrowers set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Persons are parties are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Company and the Permitted Borrowers, as the case may be;

	(ii)	all conditions to the initial Term Loan Advance (or any such refunding or conversion of the Term Loan Advance) have been satisfied, and shall remain satisfied to the date of such Term Loan Advance (both before and after giving effect to such Term Loan Advance);

	(iv)	the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects and shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the making of such Term Loan Advance (both before and after giving effect to such Term Loan Advance), other than any representation or warranty that expressly speaks only as of a different date.

Agent, acting on behalf of the Term Loan Lenders, may, at its option, lend under this Section 4.4 upon the telephone request of an Authorized Officer of Company and, in the event Agent, acting on behalf of the Term Loan Lenders, makes any such Advance upon a telephone request, the requesting officer shall fax or e-mail to Agent, on the same day as such telephone request, a Request for Term Loan Advance. The Company hereby authorizes Agent to disburse Advances under this Section 4.4 pursuant to the telephone instructions of any person purporting to be a person identified by name on a written list of persons authorized by the Company and delivered to Agent prior to the date of such request to make Requests for Term Loan Advance on behalf of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges that the Company shall bear all risk of loss resulting from disbursements made upon any telephone request. Each telephone request for an Advance shall constitute a certification of the matters set forth in the Request for Term Loan Advance form as of the date of such requested Advance.

4.5 Disbursement of Advances.

(a)	Upon receiving any Request for Term Loan Advance from the Company under Section 4.4 hereof, Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender by wire, e-mail, facsimile or telephone of the amount of such Term Loan Advance to be made and the date such Term Loan Advance is to be made by said Term Loan Lender pursuant to its Term Loan Percentage of such Term Loan Advance. Unless such Term Loan Lender’s commitment to make the Term Loan Advance hereunder shall have been suspended or terminated in accordance with this Agreement, each such Term Loan Lender shall make available the amount of its Term Loan Percentage of each Term Loan Advance in immediately available funds to Agent, as follows:

	(i)	for Prime-based Advances, at the office of the Agent located at Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance; and

	(ii)	for Eurocurrency-based Advances, Agent’s Correspondent for the account of the Eurocurrency Lending Office of Agent not later than 12 noon (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance.

(b)	Subject to submission of an executed Request for Term Loan Advance by the Company accompanied by all documentation otherwise required under Section 4.4 hereof, Agent shall make available to the Company the aggregate of the amounts so received by it from the Term Loan Lenders in like funds and currencies:

	(i)	for Domestic Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance by credit to an account of Company maintained with Agent or to such other account or third party as Company may reasonably direct; and

	(ii)	for Eurocurrency-based Advances, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Detroit time) on the date of such Advance, by credit to an account of the Company

		maintained with Agent or to such other account or third party as the Company may reasonably direct.

(c)	Agent shall deliver the documents and papers received by it for the account of each Term Loan Lender to such Term Loan Lender or upon its order. Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Term Loan Lender prior to the date of any proposed Term Loan Advance that such Term Loan Lender does not intend to make available to Agent such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Percentage of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Term Loan Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date, as aforesaid and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Term Loan Lender, as aforesaid, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Term Loan Lender. If such Term Loan Lender does not pay such amount within one (1) Business Day of Agent’s demand therefor and the Agent has in fact made a corresponding amount available to the Company, the Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Company shall pay the Agent the amount such Term Loan Lender failed to fund (the “Funding Deficiency”), and the Company shall pay the Agent the amount of the Funding Deficiency within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of written notice from the Agent. Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Term Loan Lender or the Company, as the case may be, but without duplication, interest on the amount of the Funding Deficiency in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by Agent to the Company, to the date such amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate per annum equal to:

	(i)	in the case of such Term Loan Lender, for the first two (2) Business Days such amount remains unpaid, with respect to Domestic Advances, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and with respect to Eurocurrency-based Advances, Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by Agent as a result of such failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount and thereafter, at the rate of interest then applicable to such Term Loan Advances; and

	(ii)	in the case of Company, the rate of interest then applicable to such Advance of the Term Loan.

The obligation of any Term Loan Lender to make any Advance of the Term Loan hereunder shall not be affected by the failure of any other Term Loan Lender to make any Advance hereunder, and no Term Loan Lender shall have any liability to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Agent, any other Term Loan Lender, or any other party for another Term Loan Lender’s failure to make any loan or Advance hereunder. In the event any Term Loan Lender shall fail to advance any amounts required to be advanced in accordance with the terms of this Article 4.5 (a “Defaulting Term Loan Lender”), the Agent shall promptly provide written

notice thereof to the Company and to each other Term Loan Lender (each such other Term Loan Lender being referred to in this Section as a “Non-Defaulting Term Loan Lender”). Each Non-Defaulting Term Loan Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days from receipt of said notice to exercise its option to agree to enter into an agreement pursuant to which the Non-Defaulting Term Loan Lender shall assume the Defaulting Term Loan Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, its Notes and the other Loan Documents. The Non-Defaulting Term Loan Lender shall exercise such option by providing written notice of same to the Defaulting Term Loan Lender (and if there is more than one Non-Defaulting Term Loan Lender, the assignment agreement shall be entered into with the Non-Defaulting Term Loan Lender who first notifies the Defaulting Term Loan Lender of its decision to exercise said option) and to the Company. If no Non-Defaulting Term Loan Lender shall exercise the above-described option within the said ten (10) Business Day period and if the Company shall, subject to Section 13.8(c) hereof, within sixty (60) days of delivering the notice described above, advise such Defaulting Term Loan Lender of another bank or financial institution to which assignments are permitted pursuant to Section 13.8(c) hereof and which is willing to assume such Defaulting Term Loan Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, its Notes and the other Loan Documents (each such bank or financial institution being hereinafter referred to as a “Potential Lender Financial Institution”), such Defaulting Term Loan Lender shall, subject to Section 13.8(c), assign its said rights and obligations to the Potential Lender Financial Institution; provided however that any such assignment shall not alter the Company’s remedies vis a vis the Defaulting Term Loan Lender.

4.6 Prime-based Advance in Absence of Election or Upon Default. In the event Company shall fail with respect to any Eurocurrency-based Advance of the Term Loan to timely exercise their option to refund or convert such Advance in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof (and such Advance has not been paid in full on the last day of the Eurocurrency-Interest Period applicable thereto according to the terms hereof), or, if on the last day of the applicable Eurocurrency-Interest Period, a Default or Event of Default shall exist, then, on the last day of the applicable Eurocurrency-Interest Period, the principal amount of such Advance which has not been prepaid shall be automatically converted to a Prime-based Advance and the Agent shall thereafter promptly notify Company thereof. All accrued and unpaid interest on any Advance converted to a Prime-based Advance under this Section 4.6 shall be due and payable in full on the date such Advance is converted.

4.7 Interest Payments; Default Interest.

(a)

Interest on the unpaid principal of all Prime-based Advances of the Term Loan from time to time outstanding shall accrue until paid at a per annum interest rate equal to the Prime-based Rate, and shall be payable in immediately available funds quarterly in arrears commencing on October 1, 2008 and on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter. Whenever any payment under this Section 4.7 shall become due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next Business Day. Interest accruing at the Prime-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed, and in such computation effect shall be given to any

			change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Prime-based Rate on the date of such change in the Prime-based Rate.

	(b)		Interest on the unpaid principal of each Eurocurrency-based Advance of the Term Loan having a related Eurocurrency-Interest Period of three (3) months or less shall accrue at its applicable Eurocurrency-based Rate and shall be payable in immediately available funds on the last day of the Eurocurrency-Interest Period applicable thereto. Interest shall be payable in immediately available funds on each Eurocurrency-based Advance of the Term Loan outstanding from time to time having a Eurocurrency-Interest Period of six (6) months or longer, at intervals of three (3) months after the first day of the applicable Eurocurrency-Interest Period, and shall also be payable on the last day of the Eurocurrency-Interest Period applicable thereto. Interest accruing at the Eurocurrency-based Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed from the first day of the Eurocurrency-Interest Period applicable thereto to, but not including, the last day thereof.

	(c)		Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.7(a) or (b) hereof, all accrued and unpaid interest on any Term Loan Advance refunded or converted pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof shall be due and payable in full on the date such Term Loan Advance is refunded or converted.

	(d)		In the case of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(j), immediately upon the occurrence thereof, and in the case of any other Event of Default, upon notice from the Required Term Loan Lenders, interest shall be payable on demand on the principal amount of all Term Loan Advances from time to time outstanding, as applicable, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Interest Rate in respect of each such Advance, plus, in the case of Eurocurrency-based Advances, three percent (3%) for the remainder of the then existing Eurocurrency-Interest Period, if any, and at all other such times and for all Prime-based Advances, at a per annum rate equal to the Prime-based Rate plus three percent (3%).

	4.8 Optional Prepayment of Term Loan.

	(a)		Subject to clause (b) hereof, Company (at its option), may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal of any Term Loan Advance bearing interest at the Prime-based Rate at any time, and may prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal of any Term Loan bearing interest at the Eurocurrency-based Rate upon three (3) Business Day’s notice to the Agent by wire, telecopy or by telephone (confirmed by wire or telecopy), with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a portion of the Term Loan as to which the Applicable Interest Rate is the Prime-based Rate shall be without premium or penalty and any prepayment of a portion of the Term Loan as to which the Applicable Interest Rate is the Eurocurrency-based Rate shall be subject to the provisions of Section 11.1, but otherwise without premium or penalty.

	(b)		Each partial prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied to all installments of the Term Loan due thereunder on a pro rata basis as follows: first to that portion of the Term Loan outstanding as a Prime-based Advance, second to that portion of the Term Loan outstanding as Eurocurrency-based Advances which have Eurocurrency-Interest Periods ending on the date of payment, and last to any remaining Advances of the Term Loan being carried at the Eurocurrency-based Rate.

	(c)		All prepayments of the Term Loan shall be made to the Agent for distribution ratably to the applicable Term Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Loan Percentages.

	4.9 Mandatory Prepayment of Term Loan.

	(a)		Intentionally omitted.

	(b)		Subject to clauses (e) and (f) hereof, immediately upon receipt by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sales which are in excess of $50,000,000 in aggregate amount in any calendar year (the “Excess Net Proceeds”), to the extent such Excess Net Proceeds are not Reinvested as described in the following sentence, Company shall prepay the Term Loan by an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds provided, however that Company shall not be obligated to prepay the Term Loan with such Net Cash Proceeds if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) promptly following the sale, Company provides to Agent a certificate executed by a Authorized Officer of the Company (“Reinvestment Certificate”) stating (x) that the sale has occurred, (y) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing either as of the date of the sale or as of the date of the Reinvestment Certificate, and (z) a description of the planned Reinvestment of the proceeds thereof, (ii) the Reinvestment of such Net Cash Proceeds is completed within the Reinvestment Period, and (iii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such Asset Sale and at the time of the application of such Net Cash Proceeds to Reinvestment. If any such proceeds have not been Reinvested at the end of the Reinvestment Period, Company shall promptly pay such proceeds to Agent, to be applied to prepay the Term Loan in accordance with clauses (e) and (f) hereof.

	(c)		Subject to clauses (e) and (f) hereof, immediately upon receipt by Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from (i) the issuance of any Equity Interests of such Person (other than Equity Interests under any stock option or employee incentive plans listed on Schedule 4.9(c) hereto (or any successor plans)), Company shall prepay the Term Loan by an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Net Cash Proceeds and (ii) the issuance of any Debt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Restatement Date other than Debt permitted under Sections 8.4(a) through (g) and (i) through (k), Company shall prepay the Term Loan by an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Net Cash Proceeds.

	(d)		Intentionally omitted.

	(e)		Subject to clause (f) hereof, each mandatory prepayment under this Section 4.9 or any other mandatory or optional prepayment under this Agreement shall be in addition to any scheduled installments or optional prepayments made prior thereto and shall be subject to Section 11.1. Each mandatory prepayment shall be applied to installments of principal on the Term Loan on a pro rata basis.

	(f)		To the extent that, on the date any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan under this Section 4.9 is due, the Indebtedness under the Term Loan or any other Indebtedness to be prepaid is being carried, in whole or in part, at the Eurocurrency-based Rate and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Company may deposit the amount of such mandatory prepayment in a cash collateral account to be held by the Agent, for and on behalf of the Lenders (which shall be an interest-bearing account), on such terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Agent and upon such deposit, the obligation of each Company to make such mandatory prepayment shall be deemed satisfied. Subject to the terms and conditions of said cash collateral account, sums on deposit in said cash collateral account shall be applied (until exhausted) to reduce the principal balance of the Term Loan on the last day of each Eurocurrency-Interest Period attributable to the Eurocurrency-based Advances of the Term Loan, thereby avoiding breakage costs under Section 11.1.

	4.10 Use of Proceeds. Advances of the Term Loan shall be used by Company solely to repay the New Convertible Subordinated Debt.

	4A. MARGIN ADJUSTMENTS.

	4A.1 Margin Adjustments.

	(a)		Adjustments to the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Fee Percentages, based on Schedule 4.1, shall be implemented on a quarterly basis as follows: such adjustments shall be given prospective effect only, effective as to all Advances outstanding hereunder and as to each Applicable Fee Percentage, upon the date of delivery of the financial statements under Sections 7.3(b) and 7.3(c) hereunder, in each case establishing applicability of the appropriate adjustment, in each case with no retroactivity or claw-back.

	(b)		From the Restatement Date until the required date of delivery (or if earlier, delivery) of the financial statements under Section 7.3(b) and (c) hereof, and the related Covenant Compliance Report for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008, the Applicable Margins and Applicable Fee Percentages shall be those set forth under the Level I column of the pricing matrix attached to this Agreement as Schedule 4.1. Thereafter, the adjustments to the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Fee Percentages shall be as set forth above.

	(c)		Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if, as a result of any restatement of or adjustment to the financial statements of Company and any of its Subsidiaries

(relating to the current or any prior fiscal period) or for any other reason, Agent determines that the Applicable Margin and/or the Applicable Fee Percentages as calculated by Company as of any applicable date of determination were inaccurate in any respect and a proper calculation thereof would have resulted in different pricing for any fiscal period, then (x) if the proper calculation thereof would have resulted in higher pricing for any such period, Company and/or the Permitted Borrowers, as the case may be, shall automatically and retroactively be obligated to pay to Agent, promptly upon demand by Agent or the Required Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period and, of the current fiscal period is affected thereby, the Applicable Margin and/or the Applicable Fee Percentages for the current period shall be adjusted based on such recalculation; and (y) if the proper calculation thereof would have resulted in lower pricing for such period, Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to recalculate such interest or fees or to repay any interest or fees to Company or the Permitted Borrowers; provided, however, that if as a result of any such redetermination by Agent a proper calculation of the Applicable Margin and/or the Applicable Fee Percentages would have resulted in higher pricing for one or more periods and lower pricing for one or more periods, then the amount payable by Company and/or the Permitted Borrowers, as the case may be, pursuant to clause (x) of this sentence shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for all applicable periods over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for all such periods and the Applicable Margin and provided, further, if the current fiscal period is affected by such inaccuracy, the Applicable Fee Percentages shall be adjusted for the current period.

4A.2 Margins.

In the event Company fails timely to deliver the financial statements required under Sections 7.3(b) or 7.3(c), then from the date delivery of such financial statements was required until such financial statements are delivered, the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Percentages shall be at the highest level on the Pricing Matrix attached to this Agreement as Schedule 4.1.

The Borrowers expressly agree that this Section may not be waived or modified by Lenders or Agent by course of performance, estoppel or otherwise.

10. PAYMENTS, RECOVERIES AND COLLECTIONS.

10.1 Payment Procedure.

	(a)	All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments made by the Borrowers of principal, interest or fees hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim on the date specified for payment under this Agreement and must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Detroit time) on the date such payment is required or intended to be made and shall be made in Dollars in respect of Term Loan Advances, Domestic Advances or Fees payable in Dollars in immediately available funds to Agent at Agent’s office located at Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000 for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders in the case of payments in respect of the Revolving Credit and any Letter of Credit Obligations and for the ratable benefit of the Term Loan Lenders in case of payments in respect of the Term Loan. Payments made in respect of any Revolving Credit Advance in any Alternative Currency or any Fees payable in any Alternative Currency shall be made in such Alternative Currency in immediately available funds for the account of Agent’s Eurocurrency Lending Office, at Agent’s Correspondent, for the ratable account of Lenders, not later than 11:00 a.m. (the time of Agent’s Correspondent) for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders. Any payment received by the Agent after 11:00 a.m. (Detroit time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Upon receipt of each such payment, the Agent shall make prompt payment to each applicable Lender, or, in respect of Eurocurrency-based Advances, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Lending Office, in like funds and currencies, of all amounts received by it for the account of such Lender.

	(b)	Unless Agent shall have been notified by Company prior to the date on which any payment to be made by any of the Borrowers is due that such Borrower does not intend to remit such payment, Agent may, in its discretion but without any obligation, assume that such Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s share of such assumed payment. If any of the Borrowers has not in fact remitted such payment to Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to Agent in the applicable currency

106

	the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with the interest thereon, in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) for Prime-based Advances, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, as the same may vary from time to time, and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency-based Advances, Agent’s aggregate marginal cost (including the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by Agent) of carrying such amount.

(c)	Whenever any payment to be made hereunder (other than payments in respect of any Eurocurrency-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance) shall otherwise be due on a day which 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 computing interest, if any, in connection with such payment. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, a Eurocurrency-based Advance or a Quoted Rate Advance shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day the date of payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless as a result thereof it would fall in the next calendar month, in which case it shall be shortened to the next preceding Business Day and, in the case of a payment of principal, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended or shortened time, if any.

(d)	All payments to be made by any of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the Notes (including without limitation payments under the Swing Line and/or Swing Line Note) shall be made without set-off or counterclaim, as aforesaid, and without deduction for or on account of any present or future withholding or other taxes of any nature (other than a tax based upon the net income of any Lender or Agent by any jurisdiction where a Lender or Agent is located) imposed by any governmental authority or of any political subdivision thereof or any federation or organization of which such governmental authority may at the time of payment be a member, unless any of the Borrowers, as the case may be, is compelled by law to make payment subject to such tax. In such event, such Borrower shall:

	(i)	pay to Agent for Agent’s own account and/or, as the case may be, for the account of Lenders (and, in the case of any Swing Line Advances, pay to Swing Line Lender which funded such Advances) such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that Agent and/or such Lender or Lenders receive a net amount in the applicable Permitted Currency equal to the full amount which would have been receivable had payment not been made subject to such tax; and

	(ii)	remit such tax to the relevant taxing authorities according to applicable law, and send to Agent such certificates or certified copy receipts as Agent or any Lender shall reasonably require as proof of the payment by such Borrower of any such taxes payable by such Borrower.

107

As used herein, the terms “tax”, “taxes” and “taxation” include all taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings and any restrictions or conditions resulting in a charge together with interest (and any taxes payable upon the amounts paid or payable pursuant to this Section 10.1) thereon and fines and penalties with respect thereto which may be imposed by reason of any violation or default with respect to the law regarding such tax (whether assessed against any Borrower, Agent or any of the Lenders), but subject to compliance by the applicable Lender with Section 13.14 hereof.

10.2 Application of Proceeds of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, following the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(j) and following the occurrence of any other Event of Default and the termination of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment, the acceleration of any Indebtedness arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any other remedy in each case by the requisite Lenders under Section 9.2 hereof, Agent shall apply the proceeds of any Collateral, together with any offsets, voluntary payments by Company or the Permitted Borrowers or others and any other sums received or collected in respect of the Indebtedness, first, to pay all incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of Agent under the Loan Documents and any protective advances made by Agent with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, next, to pay any fees and expenses owed to Issuing Lender hereunder, next, to the Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit (including the Swing Line and any Reimbursement Obligations) and the Term Loan, on a pro rata basis, next to any obligations owing by the Borrowers or any Subsidiary under any Hedging Agreements on a pro rata basis, next, to any other Indebtedness on a pro rata basis, and then, if there is any excess, to the Borrowers.

10.3 Pro-rata Recovery. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of principal of, or interest on, any of the Advances made by it, or the participations in Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Line Advances held by it in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or thereafter obtained by all Lenders upon principal of and interest on all such Indebtedness, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Revolving Credit, the Term Loan and/or the Letter of Credit Obligation held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably in accordance with the applicable Revolving Credit Percentages or Term Loan Percentages of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

10.4 Set Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender may at any time and from time to time, without notice to Company but subject to the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof, (any requirement for such notice being expressly waived by Company) set off and apply against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, whether owing to such Lender or any other Lender or Agent, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of such Borrower and any property of such Borrower from time to time in possession of

108

such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such deposits held or indebtedness owing by such Lender may be contingent and unmatured and regardless of whether any Collateral then held by Agent or any Lender is adequate to cover the Indebtedness, provided, however, that a Lender may not set off and apply against any obligations of Company or any Domestic Permitted Borrower any deposits or property of, or other indebtedness owing to, or for the credit or account of any Foreign Permitted Borrower. Promptly following any such setoff, such Lender shall give written notice to Agent and to Company and the applicable Permitted Borrower of the occurrence thereof. The rights of each Lender under this Section 10.4 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

11. CHANGES IN LAW OR CIRCUMSTANCES; INCREASED COSTS.

11.1 Reimbursement of Prepayment Costs. If any Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntarily, by acceleration, or otherwise), or if any Borrower converts or refunds (or attempts to convert or refund) any such Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; or if any Borrower fails to borrow, refund or convert into any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance after notice has been given by such Borrower to Agent in accordance with the terms hereof requesting such Advance, or if any Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance when due, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Lender, as the case may be, on demand for any resulting loss, cost or expense incurred (excluding the loss of any Applicable Margin) by Agent and Lenders, as the case may be as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any such loss, cost or expense incurred in obtaining, liquidating, employing or redeploying deposits from third parties, whether or not Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, shall have funded or committed to fund such Advance. Such amount payable by the applicable Borrower to Agent for itself and/or on behalf of any Lender, as the case may be, may include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, refunded or converted, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, refund or convert, through the last day of the relevant Interest Period, at the applicable rate of interest for said Advance(s) provided under this Agreement, over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Agent and Lenders, as the case may be) which would have accrued to Agent and Lenders, as the case may be, on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. Calculation of any amounts payable to any Lender under this paragraph shall be made as though such Lender shall have actually funded or committed to fund the relevant Advance through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Advance and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that any Lender may fund any Eurocurrency-based Advance or Quoted Rate Advance, as the case may be, in any manner it deems fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purpose of the calculation of amounts payable under this paragraph. Upon the written request of Company, Agent and Lenders shall deliver to Company a certificate setting forth the basis for determining such losses, costs and expenses, which certificate shall be conclusively presumed correct, absent manifest error.

109

11.2 Eurocurrency Lending Office. For any Advance to which the Eurocurrency-based Rate is applicable, if Agent or a Lender, as applicable, shall designate a Eurocurrency Lending Office which maintains books separate from those of the rest of Agent or such Lender, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have the option of maintaining and carrying the relevant Advance on the books of such Eurocurrency Lending Office.

11.3 Availability of Alternative Currency. Agent and Lenders shall not be required to make any Advance in an Alternative Currency if, at any time prior to making such Advance, Agent or the Required Lenders (after consultation with Agent) shall determine, in its or their sole discretion, that (i) deposits in the applicable Alternative Currency in the amounts and maturities required to fund such Advance will not be available to Agent and Lenders; (ii) a fundamental change has occurred in the foreign exchange or interbank markets with respect to the applicable Alternative Currency (including, without limitation, changes in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls); or (iii) it has become otherwise materially impractical for Agent or Lenders, as applicable, to make such Advance in the applicable Alternative Currency. Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly notify Company and Lenders of any such determination.

11.4 Refunding Advances in Same Currency. If pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement, any of the Borrowers repays one or more Advances and on the same day borrows an amount in the same currency, Agent (or Swing Line Lender, in the case of a Swing Line Advance) shall apply the proceeds of such new borrowing to repay the principal of the Advance or Advances being repaid and only an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be remitted by Agent to such Borrower, or by such Borrower to Agent, as the case may be.

11.5 Circumstances Affecting Eurocurrency-based Rate Availability. If with respect to any Interest Period, Agent or the Required Lenders (after consultation with Agent) shall determine that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars or in any applicable Alternative Currency, as the case may be, in the applicable amounts are not being offered to Agent or such Lenders for such Interest Period, then Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers. Thereafter, until Agent notifies the Borrowers that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligation of Lenders to make Eurocurrency-based Advances (other than in any applicable Alternative Currency with respect to which deposits are available, as required hereunder), and the right of the Borrowers to convert an Advance to or refund an Advance as a Eurocurrency-based Advance, as the case may be (other than in any applicable Alternative Currency with respect to which deposits are available, as required hereunder), shall be suspended, and (ii) the Borrowers shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Eurocurrency-based Advance covered hereby in the applicable Permitted Currency, together with accrued interest thereon, any amounts payable under Sections 11.1 and 11.8 hereof, and all other amounts payable hereunder on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Advance. Upon the date for repayment as aforesaid and unless Company notifies Agent to the contrary within two (2) Business Days after receiving a notice from Agent pursuant to this Section, such outstanding principal amount shall be converted to a Prime-based Advance as of the last day of such Interest Period.

110

11.6 Laws Affecting Eurocurrency-based Advance Availability. If, after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Advance with interest at the Eurocurrency-based Rate, or in an Alternative Currency, such Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to Company and to Agent. Thereafter, (a) the obligations of Lenders to make Eurocurrency-based Advances or Advances in any such Alternative Currency and the right of any Borrower to convert an Advance into or refund an Advance as a Eurocurrency-based Advance or as an Advance in any such Alternative Currency shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may select as Applicable Interest Rates or as Alternative Currencies only those which remain available and which are permitted to be selected hereunder, and (b) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain an Advance to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto as a Eurocurrency-based Advance or in such Alternative Currency, the applicable Advance shall immediately be converted to a Prime-based Advance (in the Dollar Amount thereof) and the Prime-based Rate shall be applicable thereto for the remainder of such Interest Period. For purposes of this Section, a change in law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration shall include, without limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the basis of a law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration presently in force, the effective date of which change is delayed by the terms of such law, rule, regulation, interpretation or administration.

11.7 Increased Cost of Eurocurrency-based Advances. If the adoption after the date of this Agreement of, or any change after the date of this Agreement in, any applicable law, rule or regulation of or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent or any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency after the date hereof:

	(a)	shall subject any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to any Advance or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) of the principal of or interest on any Advance or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of any of the Lenders or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office or Eurocurrency Lending Office is located); or

	(b)	shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) or shall impose on any of the Lenders

111

(or any of their respective Eurocurrency Lending Offices) or the foreign exchange and interbank markets any other condition affecting any Advance;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs to any of the Lenders of maintaining any part of the Indebtedness hereunder as a Eurocurrency-based Advance or as an Advance in any Alternative Currency or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any of the Lenders under this Agreement in respect of a Eurocurrency-based Advance or any Advance in an Alternative Currency, whether with respect to Advances to any of the Borrowers, then such Lender shall promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Swing Line Advance, shall notify the applicable Borrower directly, with a copy of such notice to Agent), and Agent (or such Lender, as aforesaid) shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such fact and demand compensation therefor and, within fifteen (15) days after such notice, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Lenders for such increased cost or reduction. Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle Lenders to compensation pursuant to this Section, or which will cause the Borrowers to incur additional liability under Sections 11.1 and 11.8 hereof, provided that Agent shall incur no liability whatsoever to Lenders, or Borrowers in the event it fails to do so. A certificate of Agent (or such Lender, if applicable) setting forth the basis for determining such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Lenders shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. For purposes of this Section, a change in law, rule, regulation, interpretation, administration, request or directive shall include, without limitation, any change made or which becomes effective on the basis of a law, rule, regulation, interpretation, administration, request or directive presently in force, the effective date of which change is delayed by the terms of such law, rule, regulation, interpretation, administration, request or directive.

11.8 Indemnity. The Borrowers will indemnify Agent and each of Lenders against any loss or expense (but excluding loss of any Applicable Margin) which may arise or be attributable to Agent’s and each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain the Advances (a) as a consequence of any failure by any of the Borrowers to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a Eurocurrency-based Advance, (b) due to any failure of any Borrower to borrow, refund or convert on a date specified therefor in a Request for Advance or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Eurocurrency-based Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance. Such loss or expense shall be calculated based upon the present value, as applicable, of payments due from such Borrower with respect to a deposit obtained by Agent or any of the Lenders in order to fund such Advance to such Borrower. Agent’s and each Lender’s, as applicable, calculations of any such loss or expense shall be furnished to Company and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

11.9 Judgment Currency. The obligation of the Borrowers to make payments of the principal of and interest on the outstanding Advances and any other amounts payable hereunder in the currency specified for such payment herein shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any other currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by each of Lenders of the full amount of the particular Permitted Currency expressed to be payable herein. Agent (or Swing Line Lender, as applicable) shall, using all amounts obtained or

112

received from the Borrowers pursuant to any such tender or recovery in payment of principal of and interest on the outstanding Advances, promptly purchase the applicable Permitted Currency at the most favorable spot exchange rate determined by Agent to be available to it. The obligations of the Borrowers to make payments in the applicable Permitted Currency shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action solely for the purpose of recovering in the applicable Permitted Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Permitted Currency expressed to be payable herein.

11.10 Capital Adequacy and Other Increased Costs. In the event that after the Restatement Date the adoption of or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to any Lender or Agent, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender or Agent with any guideline, request or directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including any risk based capital guidelines, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or Agent (or any corporation controlling such Lender or Agent) and such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations or Advances hereunder and such increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Agent’s (or such controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of such obligations or Advances hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Agent (or such controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Agent to be material (collectively, “Increased Costs”), then Agent or such Lender shall notify Company, and thereafter the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, from time to time, upon request by such Lender or Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Agent (or such controlling corporation) for any increase in the amount of capital and reduced rate of return which such Lender or Agent reasonably determines to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s or Agent’s obligations or Advances hereunder; provided, however that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse any Lender for any Increased Costs pursuant to this Section 11.10 unless such Lender notifies Company and Agent within 180 days after such affected Lender has obtained actual knowledge of such Increased Costs (but in any event within 365 days after such affected Lender is required to comply with the applicable change in law). A statement as to the amount of such compensation, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall be submitted by such Lender or by Agent to Company, reasonably promptly after becoming aware of any event described in this Section 11.10 and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error in computation.

11.11 Substitution of Lenders. If (a) any Lender has failed to fund its Revolving Credit Percentage of any Revolving Credit Advance, or to fund a Revolving Credit Advance to repay a Swing Line Advance or any Reimbursement Obligations, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency-based Advances has been suspended pursuant to Section 11.3 or 11.4, (c) any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 3.4(d), 11.5 or 11.6 or (d) any Lender has not approved an amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement, if such amendment or waiver has been approved by the Required Lenders and the consent of such Lender is required (in each case, an “Affected Lender”), then Agent or the Company shall have the right to make

written demand on the Affected Lender (with a copy to the Company in the case of a demand by Agent or with a copy to Agent in the case of a demand by the Company) to assign and the Affected Lender shall assign, to one or more financial institutions that comply with the provisions of Section 14.8 hereof (the “Purchasing Lender” or “Purchasing Lenders”) to purchase the Advances of the Revolving Credit, the Term Loan and the Swing Line, as the case may be, of such Affected Lender (including, without limitation, its participating interests in outstanding Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit) and assume the commitment of the Affected Lender to extend credit under the Revolving Credit (including without limitation its obligation to purchase participation interests in Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit) under this Agreement. The Affected Lender shall be obligated to sell its Advances of the Revolving Credit, the Term Loan and the Swing Line, as the case may be, and assign its commitment to extend credit under the Revolving Credit (including without limitation its obligations to purchase participation interests in Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit) to such Purchasing Lender or Purchasing Lenders within ten (10) days after receiving notice from the Company requiring it to do so, at an aggregate price equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus unpaid interest accrued thereon up to but excluding the date of the sale. In connection with any such sale, and as a condition thereof, the Company shall pay to the Affected Lender all fees accrued for its account hereunder to but excluding the date of such sale, plus, if demanded by the Affected Lender within ten (10) Business Days after such sale, (i) the amount of any compensation which would be due to the Affected Lender under Section 11.1 if the Company or the applicable Permitted Borrower had prepaid the outstanding Eurocurrency-based Advances of the Affected Lender on the date of such sale and (ii) any additional compensation accrued for its account under Sections 3.4(c), 11.5, 11.6, 11.7, 11.6 and 11.7 to but excluding said date. Upon such sale, the Purchasing Lender or Purchasing Lenders shall assume the Affected Lender’s commitment, and the Affected Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. If any Purchasing Lender is not already one of the Lenders, the Affected Lender, as assignor, such Purchasing Lender, as assignee, the Company and the Permitted Borrowers and Agent, shall enter into an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 14.8 hereof, whereupon such Purchasing Lender shall be a Lender party to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be an assignee hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Term Loan Percentage and a Revolving Credit Percentage equal to its ratable share of the then applicable aggregate outstanding amount pursuant to the Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment of the Affected Lender. In connection with any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.2, the Company and the Permitted Borrower or the Purchasing Lender shall pay to Agent the administrative fee for processing such assignment referred to in Section 14.8.

11.12 Right of Lenders to Fund through Branches and Affiliates. Each Lender (including without limitation the Swing Line Lender) may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment as to any Advance hereunder by designating a branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided that (a) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performances of its obligations hereunder and (b) no such designation shall result in any material increased costs to Company or any Permitted Borrower.

12. AGENT

12.1 Appointment of Agent. Each Lender and the holder of each Note (if issued) irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to act on behalf of such Lender or holder under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and appoints and authorizes Agent to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent, as the case may be, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto, including, without limitation, the power to execute or authorize the execution of financing or similar statements or notices and other documents. Each Lender agrees (which agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement) to reimburse Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including in-house and outside attorneys’ fees) incurred by Agent hereunder or in connection herewith or with an Event of Default or in enforcing the obligations of any of the Borrowers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument executed pursuant hereto (to the extent of Agent’s powers hereunder or thereunder, as aforesaid), and for which Agent is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower, pro rata according to such Lender’s Weighted Percentage, but excluding any such expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent, as applicable. Agent shall not be required to take any action under the Loan Documents, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Loan Documents, unless indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against loss, costs, liability and expense (excluding liability resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct). If any indemnity furnished to Agent shall become impaired, it may call for additional indemnity and cease to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is given.

12.2 Deposit Account with Agent or any Lender. Each of the Borrowers hereby authorizes Agent and each Lender, in Agent’s or such Lender’s sole discretion, upon notice to such Borrower to charge its general deposit account, if any, maintained with Agent or such Lender for the amount of any principal, interest, or other amounts or costs due from such Borrower under this Agreement when the same become due and payable under the terms of this Agreement.

12.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein and shall not, by reason of this Agreement or otherwise, have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender (and no implied covenants or other obligations shall be read into this Agreement against Agent). None of Agent, its Affiliates, nor any of their respective directors, officers, attorneys, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor be responsible for or have any duties to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any recitals or warranties made herein or therein, (b) the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto, or any security thereunder, or to make any inquiry respecting the performance by Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including but not limited to the Permitted Borrowers) of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or (c) the satisfaction of any condition hereunder or thereunder, including, without limitation, in connection with the making of any Advance or the issuance of any Letter of Credit. Agent and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, notice, document or other communication (including any cable, telegraph,

115

telex, facsimile transmission or oral communication) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been sent or given by or on behalf of a proper person. Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof. Agent may employ agents and may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to Lenders (except as to money or property received by them or their authorized agents) for the negligence or misconduct of any such agent selected by it with reasonable care or for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

12.4 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days prior notice to Company and all Lenders. If Agent at any time shall resign or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Agent for any other reason, Required Lenders shall, by written instrument, appoint a successor Agent(s) (“Successor Agent”) satisfactory to such Required Lenders and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however that any such Successor Agent shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, or any Affiliate of such bank or trust company or other financial institution which is engaged in the banking business, and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Such Successor Agent shall thereupon become the Agent hereunder, as applicable, and Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to any successor agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such Successor Agent may reasonably request. If a Successor Agent is not so appointed or does not accept such appointment before the resigning Agent’s resignation becomes effective, the resigning Agent may appoint a temporary successor to act until such appointment by the Required Lenders and, if applicable, Company, is made and accepted, or if no such temporary successor is appointed as provided above by the resigning Agent, the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all of the duties of the resigning Agent hereunder until such appointment by the Required Lenders and, if applicable, Company, is made and accepted. Such Successor Agent shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the resigning Agent as if originally named. The resigning Agent shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Successor Agent all moneys at the time held by the resigning Agent hereunder after deducting therefrom its expenses for which it is entitled to be reimbursed hereunder. Upon such succession of any such Successor Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, in its capacity as Agent hereunder, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct arising prior to its resignation hereunder, and the provisions of this Article 12 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the resigning Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent hereunder.

12.5 Loans by Agent. Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to the credit extended by it as any Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not an agent hereunder, and the term “Lender” and, when appropriate, “holder” shall include Agent in its individual capacity.

12.6 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of Agent and each other Lender and based on the financial statements of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and such other documents, information and investigations as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend credit hereunder from time to time. Each

116

Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of Agent and each other Lender and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any document executed pursuant hereto.

12.7 Intentionally Omitted.

12.8 Agent’s Fees. Until the Indebtedness has been repaid and discharged in full and no commitment to fund any loan hereunder is outstanding, Company shall pay to Agent, as applicable, an agency fee(s) set forth (or to be set forth from time to time) in the Fee Letter on the terms set forth therein. Agent’s Fees described in this Section 12.8 shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

12.9 Nature of Agency. The appointment of Agent as Agent is for the convenience of Lenders, and the Borrowers in making Advances of the Revolving Credit, the Term Loan or any other Indebtedness of the Borrowers hereunder, collecting fees, and principal and interest on the Indebtedness, and otherwise administering this Agreement and the other Loan Documents according to the express terms hereof and thereof. No Lender is purchasing any Indebtedness from Agent; and this Agreement is not intended to be a purchase or participation agreement (except to the extent of the participations or risk participations acquired pursuant to Sections 2.5(e)(iii) and 3.6(c) hereof).

12.10 Authority of Agent to Enforce This Agreement. Each Lender, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement grants Agent with full power and authority as attorney-in-fact to institute and maintain actions, suits or proceedings for the collection of the Indebtedness and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to file such proofs of debt or other documents as may be necessary to have the claims of Lenders allowed in any proceeding relative to Company, any of its Subsidiaries (including but not limited to the Permitted Borrowers) or their respective creditors or affecting their respective properties, and to take such other actions which Agent considers to be necessary or desirable for the protection, collection and enforcement of the Indebtedness, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, but in each case only to the extent of any required approval or direction of the Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable, obtained by or given to Agent hereunder.

12.11 Indemnification. Lenders agree (which agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement) to indemnify Agent and its Affiliates (to the extent not reimbursed by the applicable Borrowers, but without limiting any obligation of any of the Borrowers to make such reimbursement as set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents), pro rata according to their respective Weighted Percentages, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of in-house and outside counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent and its Affiliates in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent and its Affiliates under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses resulting from Agent’s or its Affiliate’s

117

gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of in-house and outside counsel) incurred by Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent that Agent and its Affiliates are not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrowers, but without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to make such reimbursement as otherwise set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and its Affiliates promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amounts owing to Agent and its Affiliates by Lenders pursuant to this Section, provided that, if Agent or its Affiliates are subsequently reimbursed by Borrowers for such amounts, they shall refund to Lenders on a pro rata basis the amount of any excess reimbursement. If the indemnity furnished to Agent and its Affiliates under this Section shall become impaired as determined in Agent’s reasonable judgment or Agent shall elect in its sole discretion to have such indemnity confirmed by Lenders (as to specific matters or otherwise), Agent shall give notice thereof to each Lender and, until such additional indemnity is provided or such existing indemnity is confirmed, Agent may cease, or not commence, to take any action. Any amounts paid by Lenders hereunder to Agent or its Affiliates shall be deemed to constitute part of the Indebtedness hereunder. For purposes of this Section 12.11, “Agent” shall be deemed to include Comerica Bank in its capacity as Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender.

12.12 Knowledge of Default. It is expressly understood and agreed that Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the officers of Agent immediately responsible for matters concerning this Agreement shall have received a written notice from a Lender or a Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Upon receiving such a notice, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Default or Event of Default and provide each Lender with a copy of such notice and shall endeavor to provide such notice to Lenders within three (3) Business Days (but without any liability whatsoever in the event of its failure to do so). Agent shall also furnish Lenders, promptly upon receipt, with copies of all other notices or other information required to be provided by Borrowers hereunder.

12.13 Agent’s Authorization; Action by Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever Agent is authorized and empowered hereunder on behalf of Lenders to give any approval or consent, or to make any request, or to take any other action, on behalf of Lenders (including without limitation the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the other Loan Documents), Agent shall be required to give such approval or consent, or to make such request or to take such other action only when so requested in writing by the Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable hereunder. Action that may be taken by Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, the Required Term Loan Lenders, any other specified level(s) of Revolving Credit Percentages, Term Loan Percentages, or Weighted Percentages or all of the Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder), may be taken (i) pursuant to a vote at a meeting (which may be held by telephone conference call) as to which Agent has made a good faith, diligent effort to give all of Lenders reasonable advance notice, or (ii) pursuant to

118

the written consent of the requisite Percentages of Lenders as required hereunder, provided that all of Lenders are given reasonable advance notice of the requests for such consent.

12.14 Enforcement Actions by Agent. Except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and subject to the terms hereof, Agent will take such action, assert such rights and pursue such remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as the Required Lenders or all of Lenders, as the case may be (as provided for hereunder), shall direct; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to act or omit to act if, in the reasonable judgment of Agent, such action or omission may expose Agent to personal liability for which Agent has not been satisfactorily indemnified hereunder or is contrary to this Agreement, any of the Loan Documents or applicable law. Except as expressly provided above or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no Lender (other than Agent, acting in its capacity as agent) shall be entitled to take any enforcement action of any kind under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

12.15 Collateral Matters.

(a)	Authorization. Agent is authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain a perfected security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(b)	Release.

	(i)	Each of the Lenders agree to release, and hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to release any Lien over the Equity Interests of a Significant Subsidiary, or any Guaranty or Joinder Agreement executed by a Significant Subsidiary, where such Subsidiary is no longer a Foreign Significant Subsidiary or a Domestic Significant Subsidiary as defined herein.

	(ii)	Each of the Lenders agree to release, and hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to release any Lien over the Equity Interests of a Foreign Significant Subsidiary, or any Guaranty or Joinder Agreement executed by a Foreign Significant Subsidiary (a) where following the enactment of any local law, statute, regulation or following the opinion of any local court or other regulatory authority, such Lien or Guaranty violates such law, statute, regulation or opinion, and where the applicable Pledge Agreement, Guaranty or Joinder Agreement cannot be amended, modified or otherwise updated to comply with such applicable law, statute, regulation or opinion, (b) to permit a Foreign Significant Subsidiary to change its corporate form or where, due to a reorganization or restructuring performed in compliance with this Agreement such Lien, Guaranty or Joinder Agreement must be released to effectuate such change in corporate form or such reorganization or restructuring, or (c) where retaining such Lien, Guaranty or Joinder Agreement would violate Section 956 of the Internal Revenue

119

				Code, provided, however, in each case that where a change in law, regulation or opinion, or the completion of a change in corporate form, reorganization or restructuring shall no longer prohibit such Lien, Guaranty or Joinder Agreement, Company shall comply or cause compliance once again with the requirements of Section 7.16 within such reasonable time period as Agent may specify, provided, further, where a change in Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code permits a grant of a broader Lien or Guaranty than what is specifically required by Section 7.16, Company shall cause a grant of Lien and/or Guaranty to the full extent permitted under the modified Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code.

		(iii)		Each of Lenders agrees to release, and hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to release, (x) any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and payment in full of all Indebtedness payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any express disposition permitted hereunder or constituting property in which the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (y) the Guaranty of any Subsidiary in connection with the sale of all of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary and only to the extent that such sale is expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral or any Guaranty issued hereunder, but only if and to the extent (i) required to be released pursuant to any other provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or (ii) approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 13.11.

Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral, any Guaranty or Joinder Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.15(b)(i)-(iii).

Agent shall not be required to execute any release described in this Agreement on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Guaranty, Joinder Agreement or Lien without recourse or warranty. Such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Indebtedness or the Liens upon any Collateral retained.

12.16 Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents. Any Lender identified on the facing page or signature page of this Agreement or in any amendment hereto or as designated with consent of Agent in any assignment agreement as Lead Arranger, Documentation Agent, Syndications Agent or any similar titles, shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement as a result of such title other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders so identified shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender as a result of such title. Each Lender

120

acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on Lender so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

12.17 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

	(a)	Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (i) any identify verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) any comparisons with government lists, (iv) any customer notices or (v) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

	(b)	Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to provision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (x) within 10 days after the Effective Date, and (y) at such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.2 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or Michigan state court sitting in Detroit, Michigan in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and each of the Borrowers, Agent and Lenders hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such United States Federal or Michigan state court. Each of the Permitted Borrowers irrevocably appoints Company as its agent for service of process. Each of the Borrowers irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding brought in any court in or of the State of Michigan by the delivery of copies of such

process to Company at its address specified on the signature page hereto or by certified mail directed to such address or such other address as may be designated by it in a notice to the other parties that complies as to delivery with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of Lenders and Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or limit the right of Lenders or Agent (or any of them) to bring any such action or proceeding against any of the Borrowers or any of their respective property in the courts with subject matter jurisdiction of any other jurisdiction. Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in the above described courts.

13.3 Law of Michigan. This Agreement has been delivered at Detroit, Michigan, and shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan (without regard to its conflict of laws provisions). Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

13.4 Interest. In the event the obligation of any of the Borrowers to pay interest on the principal balance of the outstanding Advances is or becomes in excess of the maximum interest rate which such Borrower is permitted by law to contract or agree to pay, giving due consideration to the execution date of this Agreement, then, in that event, the rate of interest applicable with respect to any Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage or Term Loan Percentage, as applicable, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and all previous payments in excess of the maximum rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not of interest, provided, however, in the case of any Foreign Permitted Borrower which is prohibited from making its full interest payment as otherwise required by this Agreement, the Company and the Domestic Permitted Borrowers hereby agree to pay to Agent, for distribution to Lenders, a non-refundable fee quarterly in arrears, in an amount equal to any interest which would otherwise be due from a Foreign Permitted Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to reduction of such interest amount due to operation of this Section 13.4.

13.5 Closing Costs; Other Costs. Borrowers shall pay or reimburse Agent for their own accounts or on behalf of Lenders for payment of, on demand (a) all closing costs and expenses, including, by way of description and not limitation, reasonable in-house and outside attorney fees and advances, appraisal and accounting fees, title and lien search fees, and required travel costs, incurred by Agent in connection with the commitment, consummation and closing of the loans contemplated hereby, or in connection with the administration or enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including the obtaining of legal advice regarding the rights and responsibilities of the parties hereto), or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the loans or advances provided under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any amendment thereof or waiver or consent with respect thereto requested by Borrowers; and (b) all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable (by either of Agent or any Lender) in connection with the execution, delivery, filing or recording of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or

122

omitting to pay such taxes or fees. Furthermore, all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation attorney fees, and costs and expenses to Environmental Auditors retained by Agent hereunder, incurred by Agent in revising, preserving, protecting, exercising or enforcing any of its or any of the Lenders’ rights against any of the Borrowers, or otherwise incurred by Agent and by Lenders (using a single law firm retained by Agent, with the approval of the Required Lenders) in connection with any Event of Default or the enforcement of the loans (whether incurred through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise), including by way of description and not limitation, such charges in any court or bankruptcy proceedings or arising out of any claim or action by any person against Agent or any Lender which would not have been asserted were it not for Agent’s or such Lender’s relationship with the Borrowers hereunder or otherwise, shall also be paid by the Borrowers. All of said amounts required to be paid by Borrowers hereunder and not paid forthwith upon demand, as aforesaid, shall bear interest, from the date incurred to the date payment is received by Agent at the Prime-based Rate, plus three percent (3%).

	13.6		Notices. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and shall be given by personal delivery, by mail, by reputable overnight courier, by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to it at its address set forth on the administrative detail forms on file with Agent or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties that complies as to delivery with the terms of this Section 13.6 or posted to an E-System set-up by or at the direction of Agent (as set forth below).

Agent may, but, except as specifically provided herein, shall not be required to, take any action on the basis of any notice given to it by telephone, but the giver of any such notice shall promptly confirm such notice in writing or by telex or facsimile, and such notice will not be deemed to have been received until such confirmation is deemed received in accordance with the provisions of this Section set forth above. If such telephonic notice conflicts with any such confirmation, the terms of such telephonic notice shall control. Any notice given by Agent or any Lender to Company shall be deemed a notice to all of Company’s Subsidiaries.

	(b)		Notices and other communications provided to any Agent and Lenders party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including email and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Agent.

Unless otherwise agreed to in a writing

123

by and among the parties to a particular communication, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, return email, or other written acknowledgment) and (ii) notices and other communications posted to an E-System shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or other communication is available and identifying the website address therefore.

The Borrowers, from time to time, upon written request of Agent will make, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be made, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further and additional instruments, and take all such further action, as may be required to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement, and to provide for Advances under this Agreement, according to the intent and purpose herein and therein expressed.

	(c)	The Borrowers and Agent acknowledge that each of Lenders may at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including Section 13.14 hereof), (i) assign or grant participations in such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any commercial bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, pension fund, mutual fund, commercial finance company or other similar financial institution, the identity of which institution is approved by Company and Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that (x) the approval of Company shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default and (y) the approval of Company and Agent shall not be required for any such sale, transfer, assignment or participation to the Affiliate of an assigning Lender, any other Lender or any Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) grant to an SPFV the option to fund all or any part of any Advance that the Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPFV to fund any Advance, but if an SPFV elects not to fund all or any part of an Advance hereunder, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Advance pursuant to the terms hereof; (B) the funding of any Advance by an SPFV hereunder shall be credited against the applicable commitment of the Granting Lender to fund such Advance to the same extent as, and as if, such Advance were funded by such Granting Lender and any payments in respect of an Advance (or portion thereof) previously funded by any

124

		SPFV shall be paid, for the account of such SPFV, to its Granting Lender, as agent for such SPFV; (C) each SPFV shall have all the rights that a Lender making such Advances or any portion thereof would have had under this Agreement (provided that each SPFV shall have granted to its Granting Lender an irrevocable power of attorney to deliver and receive all communications and notices under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise on behalf of such SPFV all such SPFV’s voting rights under this Agreement) and no additional Note or other instrument shall be required to evidence the Advances or portion thereof funded by any SPFV, each related Granting Lender being deemed to hold its Note as agent for such SPFV to the extent of the Advances or portion thereof funded by such SPFV; (D) Company and Agent agree that no SPFV shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Granting Lender would otherwise be liable so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment, as the case may be; and (E) an SPFV may, at any time and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign or participate all or a portion of its interest in any Advances to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of SPFV to support the funding or maintenance of Advances (provided that the rights of any such assignee or participant shall be subject to and limited as set forth in this clause (ii) of Section 13.8(c)). Each of the Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any prospective assignee or participant, once approved by Company and Agent and to any assignee under an assignment not required to be approved by Company pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) of the first proviso of this Section 13.8(c) and to an SPFV (and on a confidential basis to any Rating Agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guaranty to such SPFV), any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement; provided that each such prospective participant shall execute a confidentiality agreement consistent with the terms of Section 13.13 hereof. Clause (ii), the definition of “Granting Lender,” and the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 13.8(c) may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Advances are being funded by an SPFV at the time of any such amendment; and each party hereto agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPFV, it will not, on the basis of any claim or matter arising under or in connection with or otherwise relating to this Agreement, institute against, or join any other person in instituting against such SPFV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States of America or any state or political subdivision thereof.

	(d)	Each assignment by a Lender of any portion of its rights and/or obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, other than assignments to such Lender’s Affiliates or to a Federal Reserve Bank under Section 13.8(c)(ii) hereof, shall be made pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (“Assignment Agreement”) substantially (as determined by Agent), in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E

125

	(with appropriate insertions acceptable to Agent) and shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and to the following restrictions:

	(i)	each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder;

	(ii)	each assignment shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and (y) the entire remaining amount of assigning Lender’s interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit) and the Term Loan; provided however that, after giving effect to such assignment, in no event shall the entire remaining amount (if any) of assigning Lender’s interest in the Revolving Credit (and participations in any outstanding Letters of Credit) and the Term Loan be less than $5,000,000;

	(iii)	no assignment shall be effective unless Agent has received from the assignee (or from the assigning Lender) an assignment fee of $3,500 for each such assignment.

	In connection with any assignment subject to this Section 13.8(d), each of the Borrowers and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned until (x) Agent shall have received a notice of assignment duly executed by the assigning Lender and an Assignment Agreement (with respect thereto) duly executed by the assigning Lender and each assignee; and (y) the assigning Lender shall have delivered to Agent the original of each Note, if any, issued to such Lender, held by the assigning Lender under this Agreement. From and after the date on which Agent shall notify Company and Lender which has accepted an assignment subject to this Section 13.8(d) that the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied and all consents (if any) required shall have been given, the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement. To the extent that rights and obligations hereunder shall have been assigned to such assignee as provided in such notice of assignment (and Assignment Agreement), such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation the right to receive fees payable hereunder in respect of the period following such assignment). In addition, the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder shall have been assigned by it as provided in such notice of assignment (and Assignment Agreement), but not otherwise, shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Schedule 1.1 to this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the applicable new Percentages of Lenders (including the assignee Lender), taking into account such assignment.

(e)	Each Lender agrees that any participation agreement permitted hereunder shall comply with all applicable laws and shall be subject to the following restrictions (which shall be set forth in the applicable participation agreement):

126

	(i)	such Lender shall remain the holder of its interest in the Indebtedness hereunder, notwithstanding any such participation;

	(ii)	except as expressly set forth in this Section 13.8(e) with respect to rights of setoff and the benefits of Section 11 hereof, a participant shall have no direct rights or remedies hereunder;

	(iii)	such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the right to proceed against any Guarantors, or cause Agent to do so (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), and the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement without the consent of the participant, except in the case of participations granted to an Affiliate of such Lender and except for those matters covered by Section 13.11(a) through (e) and (h) hereof (provided that a participant may exercise approval rights over such matters only on an indirect basis, acting through such Lender, and the Borrowers, Agent and the other Lenders may continue to deal directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and duties hereunder); and

	(iv)	such Lender shall maintain at its principal office a copy of such participation agreement and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the participants, the Percentages of the Indebtedness (and related commitments) held by such participants and the principal amount of each type of Advance to which each such participation agreement relates.

	Each of the Borrowers agrees that each participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff under Section 10.4 hereof in respect of its participation interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the same extent as if the Indebtedness were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, shall be subject to the pro rata recovery provisions of Section 10.3 hereof and shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11 hereof. The amount, terms and conditions of any participation shall be as set forth in the participation agreement between Issuing Lender and the Person purchasing such participation, and the Borrowers, Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any responsibility or obligation with respect thereto, or to any Person to whom any such participation may be issued. No such participation shall relieve any issuing Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and all actions hereunder shall be conducted as if no such participation had been granted.

(f)	Agent shall maintain at its principal office a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, the Percentages of such Lenders and the principal amount of each type of Advance owing to each such Lender from time to time. The

127

		entries in the Register shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, Agent, and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advances recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender upon reasonable notice to Agent and a copy of such information shall be provided to any such party on their prior written request. Agent shall give prompt written notice to Company of the making of any entry in the Register or any change in such entry.

	(g)	Nothing in this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall confer on any Person other than the respective parties hereto and thereto and their successors and assignees and participants permitted hereunder and thereunder any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or other claim under this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents.

13.9 Indulgence. No delay or failure of Agent and Lenders in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall affect such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights of Agent and Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Agent and Lenders would otherwise have.

13.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and each executed copy shall constitute an original instrument, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

13.11 Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise specified herein, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and the Required Lenders (or by the Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) or, if this Agreement expressly so requires with respect to the subject matter thereof, by all Lenders (and, with respect to any amendments to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, by any Credit Party or the Guarantors that are signatories thereto), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Lender or Lenders affected thereby, do any of the following: (a) increase the stated amount of such Lender’s commitment hereunder, (b) reduce the principal of, or interest on, any outstanding Indebtedness or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (c) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any outstanding Indebtedness or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (d) except as expressly permitted hereunder or under the Collateral Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral (provided that neither Agent nor any Lender shall be prohibited thereby from proposing or participating in a consensual or nonconsensual debtor-in-possession or similar financing), or release any material guaranty provided by any Person in favor of Agent and the Lenders, provided however that Agent shall be entitled, without notice to or any further action or consent of the Lenders, to release any Collateral which any Credit Party is permitted to sell, assign or otherwise transfer in compliance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or release any guaranty to the extent expressly permitted in this Agreement or any of the other Loan

128

Documents (whether in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of the applicable Guarantor or otherwise), (e) terminate or modify any indemnity provided to the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except as shall be otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (f) change the definitions of “Revolving Credit Percentage”, “Term Loan Percentage”, “Weighted Percentage”, “Interest Periods”, “Required Lenders”, “Required Revolving Credit Lenders”, “Required Term Loan Lenders”, “Alternative Currencies”, “Permitted Borrower”, Sections 10.2 or 10.3 hereof or this Section 13.11.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

	(i)		The Revolving Credit Maturity Date may be postponed or extended only with the consent of all of the Revolving Credit Lenders;

	(ii)		The Term Loan Maturity Date may be postponed or extended only with the consent of all the Term Loan Lenders;

	(iii)		No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in a writing signed by the Swing Line Lender, do any of the following: (x) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Swing Line Note or (y) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Swing Line Note;

	(iv)		No amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in a writing signed by Issuing Lender affect the rights or duties of Issuing Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

	(v)		No amendment, waiver, or consent shall, unless in a writing signed by the Agent affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and

	(vi)		Any amendment or waiver of or consent to any variation from the mandatory prepayment provisions in Section 4.9 of the Agreement may be made with the consent of the Required Term Loan Lenders.

All references in this Agreement to “Lenders” or “the Lenders” shall refer to all Lenders, unless expressly stated to refer to Required Lenders (or the like).

The Agent shall, upon the written request of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the Credit Parties such documents as may be necessary to evidence (1) the release of any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral: (a) upon termination of the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment and payment in full of all Indebtedness payable under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document; (b) which constitutes property (including, without limitation, Equity Interests in any Person) sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction and including the property of any Subsidiary that is disposed of as permitted hereby) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (c) which constitutes property in which a Credit Party owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (d) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or all the Lenders,

129

as the case may be, as provided in this Section 13.11; or (2) the release of any Person from its obligations under the Loan Documents (including without limitation the Guaranties) if all of the Equity Interests of such Person that were held by a Credit Party are sold or otherwise transferred to any transferee other than Borrower or a Subsidiary of Borrower as part of or in connection with any disposition (whether by sale, by merger or by any other form of transaction) permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that Agent shall not be required to execute any such release or subordination agreement under clauses (1) or (2) above on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation of the Agent or any Lender or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Indebtedness or any Liens upon any Collateral retained by any Credit Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale or other disposition, all of which shall constitute and remain part of the Collateral.

13.12 Taxes and Fees. Should any tax (other than a tax based upon the net income of any Lender or Agent by any jurisdiction where a Lender or Agent is located), recording or filing fee become payable in respect of the execution and/or delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or supplement hereof or thereof, each of the Borrowers agree to pay the same together with any interest or penalties thereon and agree to hold Agent and Lenders harmless with respect thereto.

13.13 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that without the prior consent of Company, it will not disclose (other than to its employees or to employees of any of its Affiliates, to another Lender or to any of their respective auditors or counsel who have agreed or are otherwise bound to maintain the confidentiality of such information in accordance with this Section 13.13) any information with respect to Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Permitted Borrowers which is furnished pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or which is designated (in writing) by any of the Borrowers to be confidential; provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public or has been lawfully obtained by such Lender from any third party under no duty of confidentiality to such Borrower known to such Lender after reasonable inquiry, (b) as may be required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to, or in respect of any inquiry by, any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required in respect of any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, and (e) to any permitted transferee or assignee or to any approved participant of, or with respect to, an interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as aforesaid.

13.14 Withholding Taxes. If any Lender is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Lender shall promptly (but in any event prior to the initial payment of interest hereunder or prior to its accepting any assignment under this Agreement) deliver to Agent (and Agent will exercise good faith diligent efforts to promptly deliver the same to Company) two executed copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or applicable successor form specifying the applicable tax treaty

130

between the United States and the jurisdiction of such Lender’s domicile which provides for the exemption from withholding on interest payments to such Lender, (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 ECI or applicable successor form evidencing that the income to be received by such Lender hereunder is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (iii) other evidence satisfactory to Agent that such Lender is exempt from United States income tax withholding with respect to such income; provided, however, that such Lender shall not be required to deliver to Agent the aforesaid forms or other evidence with respect to (i) Advances to any Foreign Subsidiary which is or becomes a Permitted Borrower hereunder or (ii) with respect to Advances to Company or any Domestic Subsidiary which is or becomes a Permitted Borrower hereunder, if such Lender has assigned its interest in the Revolving Credit (including any outstanding Advances thereunder and participations in Letters of Credit issued hereunder) and the Term Loan and any Notes issued to it by Company, or any Domestic Subsidiary (if any) which is or subsequently becomes a Permitted Borrower hereunder, to an Affiliate which is incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof, and so notifies Agent. Such Lender shall amend or supplement any such form or evidence as required to insure that it is accurate, complete and non-misleading at all times. Promptly upon notice from Agent of any determination by the Internal Revenue Service that any payments previously made to such Lender hereunder were subject to United States income tax withholding when made, such Lender shall pay to Agent the excess of the aggregate amount required to be withheld from such payments over the aggregate amount actually withheld by Agent. In addition, from time to time upon the reasonable request and at the sole expense of the Borrowers, each Lender and Agent shall (to the extent it is able to do so based upon applicable facts and circumstances), complete and provide the Borrowers with such forms, certificates or other documents as may be reasonably necessary to allow the Borrowers to make any payment under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without any withholding for or on the account of any tax under Section 10.1(d) hereof (or with such withholding at a reduced rate), provided that the execution and delivery of such forms, certificates or other documents does not adversely affect or otherwise restrict the right and benefits (including without limitation economic benefits) available to such of Lender or Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or under or in connection with any transactions not related to the transactions contemplated hereby.

13.15 ERISA Restrictions. To the extent any Advance hereunder is funded by or on behalf of an insurance company, bank, or other Person deemed to hold assets of any employee benefit plan subject to ERISA or other plan as defined in and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code pursuant to applicable Department of Labor regulations (the “Plan Asset Regulations”), or any such plan acting on its own behalf, such insurance company, bank, entity or plan warrants and represents that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to each source of funds (a “Source”) to be used by such insurance company, bank, entity or plan to fund the Advance(s) hereunder:

131

	(b)	the Source is an “insurance company general account” as such term is defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (issued July 12, 1995) (“PTCE 95-60”), and the funding of the Advance(s) hereunder is exempt under the provisions of PTCE 95-60; or

	(c)	the Source is either (x) an insurance company pooled separate account, within the meaning of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 90-1 (issued January 29, 1990) (“PTCE 90-1”) or (y) a bank collective investment fund, within the meaning of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 91-38 (issued July 12, 1991) (“PTCE 91-38”) and, except as such insurance company or bank has disclosed to Company in writing pursuant to this paragraph (ii), no plan or group of plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization, beneficially owns more than 10% of all assets allocated to such pooled separate account or collective investment fund; and, in either such case, all records necessary to establish the availability of each exemption by reason thereof will be maintained and made available as required by the terms of such exemption; or

	(d)	the Source is an “investment fund” (within the meaning of Part V of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 84-14 (issued March 13, 1984) (the “QPAM Exemption”)) managed by a “qualified professional asset manager” (“QPAM”) within the meaning of Part V of the QPAM exemption) which has been identified pursuant to this paragraph (iii), such that the funding of the Advance(s) by or on behalf of such investment fund is exempt from the application of the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that no party to the transactions described in this Agreement and no affiliate (within the meaning of Section V(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such party has, or at any time during the immediately preceding year exercised, the authority to appoint or terminate the identified QPAM as manager of the assets of any employee benefit plan that has an interest in such investment fund (which plans have been identified pursuant to this paragraph (iii)) or to negotiate the terms of said QPAM’s management agreement on behalf of any such identified plan; or

	(e)	the Source is a “governmental plan” as defined in Title 1, Section 3(32) of ERISA; or

	(f)	the Source is one or more “employee benefit plans” (or other plan as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code) or a separate account, trust fund, or other entity comprised of one or more such plans (determined after giving effect to the Plan Asset Regulations) each of which has been identified to Company in writing pursuant to this paragraph (v); or

	(g)	the Source does not include assets of any employee benefit plan or other plan, other than a plan exempt from coverage under ERISA and from the prohibited transactions of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

132

13.16 Restatement Date. This Agreement shall become effective upon the Restatement Date, and shall remain effective until the Indebtedness has been repaid and discharged in full and no commitment to extend any credit hereunder remains outstanding. Those Permitted Borrowers not signatories to this Agreement on the Restatement Date shall become obligated hereunder (and shall be deemed parties to this Agreement) upon the execution and delivery, according to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.1 hereof, of a Permitted Borrower Addendum.

13.17 Severability. In case any one or more of the obligations of any of the Borrowers under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining obligations of such Borrower shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in one jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the obligations of or such Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in any other jurisdiction.

13.18 Table of Contents and Headings; Construction of Certain Provisions. The table of contents and the headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect any of the terms or provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents refers to any action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person, whether or not expressly specified in such provision.

13.19 Independence of Covenants. Each covenant hereunder shall be given independent effect (subject to any exceptions stated in such covenant) so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any such covenant (taking into account any such stated exception), the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists.

13.20 Reliance on and Survival of Various Provisions. All terms, covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Borrowers or any other Person party to any of the Loan Documents made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, financial statement or other document furnished by or on behalf of Company or any such Person in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any Lender or on such Lender’s behalf, and those covenants and agreements of the Borrowers set forth in Section 11.8 hereof (together with any other indemnities of the Borrowers contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and of Lenders set forth in Sections 12.1, 12.12 and 13.13 hereof shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, survive the repayment in full of the Indebtedness and the termination of any commitments to make Advances hereunder.

13.21 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LENDERS, AGENT AND THE BORROWERS KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT ANY OF THEM MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED INSTRUMENT OR

133

AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF ANY OF THEM. NEITHER LENDERS, AGENT NOR THE BORROWERS SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE, BY COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THESE PROVISIONS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MODIFIED IN ANY RESPECT OR RELINQUISHED BY LENDERS AND AGENT OR THE BORROWERS EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN INSTRUMENT EXECUTED BY ALL OF THEM.

13.22 Complete Agreement; Amendment and Restatements. This Agreement, the Notes (if issued), any Requests for Advance or Letters of Credit or any Term Loan Rate Requests hereunder, the other Loan Documents and any agreements, certificates, or other documents given to secure the Indebtedness, contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto, and none of the parties hereto shall be bound by anything not expressed in writing. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Prior Credit Agreement, which Prior Credit Agreement is fully superseded and amended and restated in its entirety hereby; provided, however, that the Indebtedness governed by the Prior Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and in full force and effect and provided further that this Agreement does not constitute a novation of such Indebtedness.

13.23 Patriot Act Notice.

Pursuant to Section 326 of USA Patriot Act, Agent and Lenders hereby notify the Borrowers that if they or any of their Subsidiaries open an account, including any loan, deposit account, treasury management account, or other extension of credit with Agent or any Lender, Agent or the applicable Lender will request the applicable Person’s name, tax identification number, business address and other information necessary to identify such Person (and may request such Person’s organizational documents or other identifying documents) to the extent necessary for Agent and the applicable Lender to comply with the USA Patriot Act.

13.24 Advertisements.

Each of the Agent, the Borrowers, on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective Subsidiaries, the Lenders, and each of their Affiliates is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. Each Borrower, on its own behalf and on behalf of their respective Subsidiaries hereby acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks

134

		associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

	(b)	All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to Section 13.6 and this Section 13.25, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related contractual obligations executed by the Agent, any Borrower and its any of its Subsidiaries and the Lenders in connection with the use of such E-System.

	(c)	All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as is” and “as available”. None of the Agent or any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein.
