ARTICLE II

Amount and Terms of Credit

SECTION 2.01 Commitment of the Lenders.

(a) The Commitments. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, each Lender, severally and not jointly with any other Lender, agrees to make a single loan denominated in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment. The credit extensions on the Closing Date shall consist of Loans made simultaneously by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. Each Lender may fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, however, that any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Loans may not be reborrowed once repaid or prepaid (whether by voluntary or mandatory payment, or otherwise).

(b) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loans.

(c) The Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the Closing Date upon the making of the Loans.

SECTION 2.02 Protective Advances. Agent shall be authorized, with the prior consent of each of the Lenders, at any time after the Closing Date, to make advances (“Protective Advances”) up to an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time $5,000,000, if Agent deems such Protective Advances necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of the Obligations. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance in accordance with its Loan Percentage.

SECTION 2.03 Continuation of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right at any time, on three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent (which notice, to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day preceding last day of any Interest Period of any Loan), to continue an outstanding Loan for an additional Interest Period, or select a different Interest Period for such Loan. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this SECTION must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Agent of a written notice (which shall substantially be made in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each such notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (1) the requested date of the continuation (which shall be the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto), (2) the

principal amount of Loans to be continued, and (3) the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, (a) each request for a continuation of a Loan which fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month and (b) if the Borrower does not give notice to continue any Loan, such Loan shall automatically be continued as a Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, at the expiration of the then-current Interest Period.

SECTION 2.04 Reserved.

SECTION 2.05 Reserved.

SECTION 2.06 Reserved.

SECTION 2.07 Evidence of Debt; Notes.

The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Agent) a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

SECTION 2.08 Interest on Loans.

(a) Interest on Loans. Subject to SECTION 2.08(b) and SECTION 2.09 and SECTION 2.10, each Loan made by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Interest shall accrue on the Loans for the day on which the Loans are made, and shall accrue on the Loans, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loans or such portion are paid. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Default Interest. During an Event of Default under SECTION 7.01(f), or during any other Event of Default if Agent or Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). The Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Agent and Lenders for such cost and expense.

(c) Payment Dates. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, (ii) on any date of any voluntary or mandatory prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid; and (iii) on the Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

(d) If the Borrower shall at any time fail to pay interest when due, the Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to add such interest to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, effective as of the due date of such interest, provided that such addition shall not waive any related Default or Event of Default or impair the Agent’s and Lenders’ rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such capitalized amounts shall bear interest at the rates per annum provided for herein.

SECTION 2.09 Alternate Rate of Interest for Loans.

If the Agent:

(A) Reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate (in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof); or

(B) Is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans;

then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice the Agent shall deliver promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the same), the Loans shall bear interest at the Alternative Rate.

SECTION 2.10 Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Change in Law occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a Loan bearing interest by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, by written notice to the Borrower, such Lender’s Loans, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; shall bear interest at the Alternative Rate.

(b) For purposes of this SECTION 2.10, a notice to the Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.10(a) above shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.11 Reserved.

SECTION 2.12 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any holding company of any Lender; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting Loan of such Lender bearing interest by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost in any material amount to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan bearing interest by reference to the Adjusted LIBO Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount in any material respect of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this SECTION 2.12 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this SECTION 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.13 Scheduled Installments; Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower promises to repay the Loans on the Maturity Date and at the dates and in the amounts set forth below (each such, including the payment on the Maturity Date, a “Scheduled Installment”):

(b) Upon the Termination Date, the Borrower shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans and all other outstanding Obligations then owing by them to the Lenders (including, without limitation, all Breakage Costs incurred in connection therewith), accompanied by Breakage Costs and any applicable Prepayment Premium.

SECTION 2.14 Optional Prepayment; Reimbursement of Lenders.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay with any applicable Prepayment Premium (and subject to payment of Breakage Costs as provided herein) the outstanding amount of the Loans in whole or in part, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written, telex or facsimile notice to the Agent, prior to 11:00 a.m., subject to the following limitations:

(i) Subject to the foregoing and SECTION 2.15, all prepayments shall be paid to the Agent for application to the prepayment of outstanding Loans ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Loan Percentage;

(ii) Each partial prepayment of Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000. The Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated with any prepayment. No partial prepayment of Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the Loans remaining outstanding being less than $5,000,000 (unless all the outstanding Loans are being prepaid in full); and

(iii) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made. Each notice of prepayment shall be revocable, provided that the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated with the revocation of any notice of prepayment. The Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Borrower hereunder, notify each applicable Lender of the principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid and the prepayment date.

(b) The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender as set forth below for any loss, cost or expense (herein, collectively, “Breakage Costs”) incurred or to be incurred by such Lender as a result of a prepayment under SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.15, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating Breakage Costs, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Loan made by it by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded. Any Lender demanding reimbursement for such loss shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as reasonably determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined and, absent manifest error, such amounts shall be due within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such notice.

SECTION 2.15 Mandatory Prepayment.

The outstanding Obligations shall be subject to prepayment as follows:

(a) Term Priority Collateral. If a Loan Party shall at any time or from time to time:

(i) make a Disposition of any Term Priority Collateral;

(ii) suffer an Event of Loss with respect to Term Priority Collateral; or

(iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Event, receive any Rent Payment or License Payment, then

(A) the Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of any such Disposition or Event of Loss in excess of $1,000,000 (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by a Loan Party in respect of such Disposition or Event of Loss, including any insurance proceeds) and

(B) promptly upon receipt by a Loan Party of any Net Proceeds (other than, so long as no Specified Event has occurred and is continuing, (i) Net Proceeds of up to $1,000,000.00 in the aggregate in any Fiscal Year, (ii) Net Proceeds from sales of vehicles owned by any Loan Party, or (iii) Net Proceeds from the Target Sale), the Loan Parties shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such excess Net Proceeds, Rent Payment or License Payment, to Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with their Loan Percentages as a prepayment of the Loans;

provided that if (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Borrower has given Agent prior written notice of it or its Subsidiary’s intention to apply the Net Proceeds from such Event of Loss to the costs of repair or replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such Event of Loss, (iii) once the aggregate Net Proceeds from all Dispositions and Events of Loss in the current Fiscal Year are greater than or equal to $1,000,000, the Borrower deposits or causes its Subsidiary to deposit the Net Proceeds therefrom into the Term Loan Priority Account, and (iv) the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, completes such repair or replacement, within the Reinvestment Threshold Time after the initial receipt of such Net Proceeds, then the Loan Party whose assets were the subject of such Event of Loss shall have the option to apply up to the Reinvestment Threshold Amount in respect of any Event of Loss to the costs of repair or replacement of the assets that are the subject of such Event of Loss. Any portion of the Net Proceeds of such Event of Loss in excess of the Reinvestment Threshold Amount or that has not been used by the applicable Loan Party within the Reinvestment Threshold Time after receipt of the Net Proceeds to repair or replace the relevant assets shall be applied as a prepayment to the Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Together with each prepayment under this SECTION 2.15(a), the Borrower shall pay Breakage Costs and any amounts required pursuant to SECTION 2.17(c).

(b) No Implied Consent. Provisions contained in this SECTION 2.15 for the application of proceeds of certain transactions shall not be deemed to constitute consent of the Lenders to transactions that are not otherwise permitted by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents.

(d) Any payment of a Scheduled Installment or a prepayment of the Loans under SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.15 shall be accompanied by payment of all amounts due under SECTION 2.08(c) and any applicable Prepayment Premium. Payments of all Scheduled Installments and all voluntary and mandatory prepayments made pursuant to SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.15 shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in accordance with SECTION 2.20, and all such voluntary and mandatory prepayments shall reduce the Scheduled Installments in the inverse order of maturity, but shall not postpone the time of payment of any Scheduled Installments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by the Loan Parties, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as set forth in SECTION 7.03.

SECTION 2.16 Credit Card Arrangements; Cash Management.

(a) Each Loan Party has heretofore delivered to the Agent notifications (each, a “Credit Card Notification”) which were executed on behalf of such Loan Party and addressed to each of such Loan Party’s credit card and debit card clearinghouses and processors; and

(b) Each Loan Party has heretofore entered into a blocked account agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”), reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, with each Blocked Account Bank, with respect to each DDA in which funds of any Loan Party are concentrated (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”) from:

(i) the sale of Inventory and other Collateral;

(ii) all proceeds of collections of Accounts;

(iii) each Blocked Account (including all cash deposited therein from each DDA); and

(iv) the cash proceeds of all credit card and debit card charges.

(c) Each Credit Card Notification and Blocked Account Agreement entered into by a Loan Party requires, during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event (and delivery of notice thereof from the ABL Agent), the ACH or wire transfer on each Business Day (and whether or not there is then an outstanding balance in the Loan Account) of all available cash receipts (the “Cash Receipts”) to the account maintained by the ABL Agent.

If any cash or Cash Equivalents owned by any Loan Party (other than (i) petty cash accounts funded in the ordinary course of business, the deposits in which shall not aggregate more than $10,000,000 (or such greater amount to which the Agent may agree), (ii) deposit accounts subject to Liens permitted under SECTION 6.01(e) and SECTION 6.01(f) and (iii) payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts funded in the ordinary course of business and required by Applicable Law (collectively, “Excluded DDAs”)) are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account that is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (or a DDA the funds in which are swept or transferred daily to a Blocked Account), then the Borrower shall cause all funds in such accounts or so held or so invested to be transferred with such frequency as may be required by the Agent to a Blocked Account that is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (or a DDA the funds in which are swept or transferred daily to a Blocked Account).

(d) The Loan Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Agent of appropriate Blocked Account Agreements (except with respect to Excluded DDAs or unless expressly waived by the Agent) consistent with the provisions of this SECTION 2.16 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Loan Parties shall furnish the Agent with prior written notice of their intention to open or close a Blocked Account and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower as to whether the Agent shall require a Blocked Account Agreement with the Person with whom such account will be maintained. Unless consented to in writing by the Agent, the Borrower shall not enter into any agreements with credit card or debit card processors other than the ones expressly contemplated herein unless contemporaneously therewith, a Credit Card Notification, is executed and delivered to the Agent. The Borrower may also maintain one or more disbursement accounts to be used by the Borrower for disbursements and payments (including payroll) in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder.

(e) The Loan Parties shall establish and maintain cash management arrangements and procedures, including Blocked Accounts, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (it being agreed that the cash management agreements in effect on the Closing Date are satisfactory to the Agent). Promptly upon the request of the Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a schedule setting forth all DDAs that are maintained by the Loan Parties as of such date, which schedule shall include, with respect to each depository (i) the name and address of such depository; (ii) the account number(s) maintained with such depository; and (iii) a contact person at such depository.

(f) In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this SECTION 2.16, during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, the Borrower receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by the Borrower for the ABL Agent, shall not be commingled with any of the Borrower’s other funds or deposited in any account of the Borrower and shall promptly be deposited into the account of the ABL Agent or dealt with in such other fashion as the Borrower may be instructed by the ABL Agent.

(g) At any time after the occurrence of a Securities Account Control Event, each Loan Party shall, at the option and request of the Agent, promptly and in any event within ninety (90) days of such request, cause each securities account or commodities account maintained by such Loan Party to be subject to a Blocked Account Agreement, reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, with each applicable securities intermediary or commodity intermediary in accordance with the requirements of the Security Agreement.

SECTION 2.17 Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for its account, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter as and when payment of such fees is due as therein set forth.

(b) All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for the account of the Agent and other Credit Parties as provided herein. Once due, all fees shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable when paid under any circumstances.

(c) Prepayment and Early Termination Fee. If (i) the Termination Date shall occur on or before the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, or (ii) the Borrower shall make on or before the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, a voluntary prepayment of the Loans pursuant to SECTION 2.14 or a mandatory prepayment of the Loans pursuant to SECTION 2.15, the Borrower shall pay to Agent for distribution to the Lenders in accordance with their Loan Percentages, an amount (the “Prepayment Premium”) equal to the Called Principal multiplied by the Applicable Premium Percentage, as determined by reference to the table below (the “Applicable Premium Percentage”); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no such Prepayment Premium shall be payable in respect of up to $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount per Fiscal Year for any voluntary prepayments pursuant to SECTION 2.14 or mandatory prepayments pursuant to SECTION 2.15. The Loan Parties agree that the amounts payable hereunder are a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits resulting from prepayments or early termination of the Loans.


Date of Termination Date or Voluntary or Mandatory Prepayment		Applicable Premium Percentage
On or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date		Five percent (5.0%)
After the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date		Four percent (4.0%)
After the second anniversary of the Closing Date and on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date		Three percent (3.0%)
After the third anniversary of the Closing Date and on or before the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date		Two Percent (2.0%)

SECTION 2.18 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Account.

(a) The Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrower (each, the “Loan Account”) which will reflect (i) all Loans and other advances made by the Lenders to the Borrower or for the Borrower’s account, (ii) all fees and interest that have become payable as herein set forth, and (iii) any and all other monetary Obligations that have become payable.

(b) The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Agent from the Borrower or from other Persons for the Borrower’s account, including all amounts received in the Term Loan Collateral Account, and the amounts so credited shall be applied as set forth in and to the extent required by SECTION 2.15(d) or SECTION 7.03, as applicable. After the end of each calendar quarter, the Agent shall send to the Borrower a statement accounting for the charges (including interest), loans, advances and other transactions occurring among and between the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower during such calendar quarter. The quarterly statements, absent manifest error, shall be deemed presumptively correct.

(c) Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrower to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Loan balance on behalf of the Borrower and cause to be paid all fees, expenses, charges, costs and interest and principal, other than principal of the Loans, owing by the Borrower and the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if and to the extent the Loan Parties fail to pay promptly any such amounts as and when due. At Agent’s option and to the extent permitted by law, any charges so made shall constitute part of the Loans hereunder.

SECTION 2.19 Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, or fees, reimbursement of amounts payable under SECTION 2.02, SECTION 2.12, SECTION 2.14(b), SECTION 2.15, SECTION 2.21, SECTION 9.04 or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent at the Agent’s Office, except that payments pursuant to SECTION 2.12, SECTION 2.14(b), SECTION 2.21, and SECTION 9.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Agent shall distribute any such payments to the appropriate recipient promptly

following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) All funds received by and available to the Agent to pay principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.15(d) or SECTION 7.03, as applicable, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due to such respective parties. For purposes of calculating interest due to a Lender, that Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on the actual amount contributed by that Lender towards the principal balance of the Loans outstanding during the applicable period covered by the interest payment made by the Borrower. Any net principal reductions to the Loans received by the Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents during such period shall not reduce such actual amount so contributed, for purposes of calculation of interest due to that Lender, until the Agent has distributed to the applicable Lender its Loan Percentage thereof. All credits against the Obligations shall be conditioned upon final payment to the Agent of the items giving rise to such credits. If any item credited to the Loan Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, whether or not such return is rightful or timely, the Agent shall have the right to reverse such credit and charge the amount of such item to the Loan Account and the Borrower shall indemnify the Secured Parties against all claims and losses resulting from such dishonor or return.

(c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

SECTION 2.20 Settlement Amongst Lenders.

(a) The amount of each Lender’s Loan Percentage of the Loans shall be computed monthly (or more frequently in the Agent’s reasonable discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all repayments of the Loans received by the Agent as of 2:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Agent.

(b) The Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the outstanding amount of the Loans for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, and subject to SECTION 7.03, (i) the Agent shall transfer to each Lender, ratably, its Loan Percentage of repayments, and (ii) each Lender shall transfer to the Agent (as provided below) or the Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to

all such transfers, the amount of the Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Loan Percentage of the Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Agent by the Lenders and is received prior to 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 1:00 p.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Agent. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Agent in connection with the foregoing.

SECTION 2.21 Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this SECTION 2.21, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, except as otherwise required by law; provided, however, that if a Loan Party or an Agent shall be required to deduct, withhold or remit any such Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions, withholdings, or remittances for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.21) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, and (ii) the Loan Party or Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings and shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this SECTION 2.21) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that the Loan Parties shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to this SECTION 2.21 for any penalties or interest that are the result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Credit Party making the claim pursuant to this SECTION 2.21. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(e) (i) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in United States withholding Tax shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two (2) copies of:

(A) either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming a treaty benefit) or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or,

(B) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a (1) Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto and (2) a certificate representing that such Foreign Lender (a) is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, (b) is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Loan Party and (c) is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Loan Parties (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code) (a “Portfolio Interest Certificate”), or

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender), a Form W-8IMY and any applicable underlying United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a Portfolio Interest Certificate on behalf of such partners, or

(D) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld,

in all cases, properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming, as applicable, complete exemption from or reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on payments by the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption for “portfolio interest” certifying that it is not a foreign corporation, partnership, estate or trust. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Foreign Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this SECTION 2.21(e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this SECTION 2.21(e) that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(ii) Each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such form or forms, certificates or documentation, including two original copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, as reasonably requested by the Borrower to confirm or establish that such U.S. Lender is not subject to deduction, withholding, or backup withholding of United States federal income Tax with respect to any payments to such U.S. Lender. Such forms shall be delivered by each U.S. Lender to the Borrower on or before the date such U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a transferee).

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (c) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower or the Agent by any Governmental Authority if such Taxes are Excluded Taxes of such Lender or are attributable to such Lender as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Borrower or the Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (f). The agreements in this clause (f) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(g) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without

withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(h) If any Loan Party shall be required pursuant to this SECTION 2.21 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Credit Party to the extent that such Credit Party becomes subject to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if applicable, subsequent to the date such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of any change in the circumstances of such Credit Party (other than a change in Applicable Law), including without limitation a change in the residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business of such Credit Party or a change in the branch or lending office of such Credit Party, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this SECTION 2.21(h); provided, however, that such efforts shall not include the taking of any actions by such Credit Party that would result in any Tax, costs or other expense to such Credit Party (other than a Tax, cost or other expense for which such Credit Party shall have been reimbursed or indemnified by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) or any action which would or might in the reasonable opinion of such Credit Party have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party.

(i) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in (and not complete exemption from) the applicable withholding Tax, the Borrower or the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding Tax after taking into account such reduction.

(j) If any Credit Party, in its sole discretion, determines that it has actually and finally realized, by reason of a refund, deduction or credit of any Taxes paid or reimbursed by the Loan Parties pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) above in respect of payments under the Loan Documents (which refund, deduction or credit is provided by the jurisdiction imposing such Taxes), a current monetary benefit that it would otherwise not have obtained and that would result in the total payments under this SECTION 2.21 exceeding the amount needed to make such Credit Party whole, such Credit Party shall pay to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this SECTION 2.21 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), with reasonable promptness following the date upon which it actually realizes such benefit, an amount equal to the amount of such refund, deduction or credit, net of all out of pocket expenses incurred in securing such refund, deduction and without interest; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the applicable Credit Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Credit Party in the event such Credit Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This SECTION 2.21(j) shall not be construed to require any Credit Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other confidential information relating to its Taxes) to any Loan Party.

SECTION 2.22 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.12 or cannot make Loans under SECTION 2.10, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.21, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate such restriction under SECTION 2.10 or eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to SECTION 2.12 or SECTION 2.21, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable for such costs and expenses of a Lender requesting compensation if (i) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement on a date after the Closing Date and (ii) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, SECTION 9.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any Breakage Costs) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under SECTION 2.12 or payments required to be made pursuant to SECTION 2.21, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 8.02 Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under any other provisions of the Loan Documents, including SECTION 2.17 and SECTION 9.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

SECTION 8.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

SECTION 9.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

No failure by any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of any Loan (including any Protective Advance) shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with SECTION 7.02 for the benefit of all Credit Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with SECTION 9.08(a) (subject to the terms of SECTION 9.08(b)), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Agent pursuant to SECTION 7.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to SECTION 9.08(b), any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

SECTION 9.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and the Syndication Agent and their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out of pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Agent and one counsel for the Lenders (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest in which case each such Person may retain its own counsel)), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to arising out of (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto) (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, the breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents or disputes among Indemnitees or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of the Agent, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s ratable share (based such Lender’s Loan Percentage) (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of SECTION 2.01(b).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Agent, the replacement of any Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

SECTION 9.05 Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Credit Party, or any Credit Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Credit Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 9.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 9.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 9.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of SECTION 9.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans at the time owing to it of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans assigned,

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender; and

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.12, SECTION 2.14(b), SECTION 2.21 and SECTION 9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with SECTION 9.06(d).

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

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to SECTION 9.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits and subject to the obligations of SECTION 2.12, SECTION 2.14(b) and SECTION 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to SECTION 9.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.08(a) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to SECTION 9.08(b) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 2.12 or SECTION 2.21 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.21 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with SECTION 2.21(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.07 Confidentiality.

Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its respective Affiliates, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.08 Setoff; Sharing of Excess Payments.

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default arising under SECTION 7.01(a), each Lender, and their respective Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, to the extent such amounts are then due and owing. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this SECTION 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Agent or such Lender may have.

(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(A) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(B) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

(c) Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 9.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Credit Party shall

100

receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by a Credit Party exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 9.10 Counterparts.

This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or by electronic .pdf copy of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.

SECTION 9.23 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent or any Lender from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

The Loan Parties, the Agent, the Lenders and the other Credit Parties acknowledge that the exercise of certain of the Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder may be subject to, and restricted by, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
