If not earlier demanded by Swing Line Lender or pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof, the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable to Agent for the account of Swing Line Lender (and each other Lender that has made a Swing Line Loan Advance which remains outstanding) on the Swing Line Loan Maturity Date, and Borrowers shall repay to Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender (and each other Lender that has made a Swing Line Loan Advance which remains outstanding) the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Loan Advance made by each of them upon demand of Agent.

Use of Proceeds of Swing Line Loan. The proceeds of the Swing Line Loan shall be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital needs of Borrowers, and to pay fees and expenses associated with the closing of the Loans.

General Terms. Subject to the terms hereof, the Term Loan Lenders will lend Borrowers in a single Advance at the Closing an amount not to exceed the Term Loan Commitment, such Term Loan Advance to be made simultaneously by the Term Loan Lenders Pro Rata.

The Term Notes. Borrowers’ obligation to repay the Term Loan Advances shall be evidenced by the Term Notes.

Interest Rate. Interest on the Term Loan shall be calculated as follows:

During the entire term of the Term Notes, except during any applicable 60-Day LIBOR Rate Interest Period or 90-Day LIBOR Rate Interest Period, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Notes shall bear interest at the applicable 30-Day Adjusted LIBOR Rate for each applicable 30-Day LIBOR Rate Interest Period.

A Borrower’s Representative may from time to time deliver to Agent (i) a 60-Day LIBOR Rate Notice, in which case the outstanding principal balance of the Term Notes shall bear interest at the applicable 60-Day Adjusted LIBOR Rate during the applicable 60-Day LIBOR Rate Interest Period, or (ii) a 90-Day LIBOR Rate Notice, in which case the outstanding principal balance of the Term Notes shall bear interest at the applicable 90-Day Adjusted LIBOR Rate during the applicable 90-Day LIBOR Rate Interest Period. Following the expiration of any applicable LIBOR Rate Interest Period, if a Borrower’s Representative shall not have timely and properly delivered a LIBOR Rate Notice for a LIBOR Rate Interest Period to commence as of the expiration of the applicable expiring LIBOR Rate Interest Period, then the outstanding principal balance of the Term Notes shall automatically bear interest at the 30-Day Adjusted LIBOR Rate until the commencement of the next 60-Day LIBOR Rate Interest Period or 90-Day LIBOR Rate Interest Period, if any.

Payments of Principal and Interest. Principal and interest on the Term Loan shall be payable as follows:

On the first Payment Due Date following the date of the Term Notes, and on each successive Payment Due Date thereafter until the entire indebtedness evidenced by the Term Notes is paid in full, Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the account of the Term Loan Lenders (based on each Term Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share) a principal payment of $83,333.33, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

If not earlier demanded pursuant to Section 11.3 hereof, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable to Agent for the account of the Term Loan Lenders (based on each Term Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share) on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

General Terms. Subject to the terms hereof, Borrower may request Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue, and Issuing Lender shall issue, Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower from time to time on any Business Day in an aggregate Available Amount for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the Letter of Credit Commitment on such Business Day. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of Borrowers or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the earlier of (i) 60 days before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, or (ii) one year after the date of issuance thereof.

Issuance of a Letter of Credit. In order for a Letter of Credit to be issued, a Borrower’s Representative shall deliver a Notice of Issuance to Agent and Issuing Lender not later than 10:30 a.m. (Birmingham, Alabama time) on a date not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date the issuance of such Letter of Credit is sought, such Notice of Issuance to be accompanied by the

form of the Letter of Credit to be issued. If (i) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to Issuing Lender in its discretion, and, (ii) if required by Agent and Issuing Lender, upon execution and delivery of a Letter of Credit Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and Issuing Lender, Issuing Lender will, subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, issue such Letter of Credit. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Reimbursement and Other Payments. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent immediately upon demand of Agent or Issuing Lender for reimbursement to Issuing Lender (i) at the time when Issuing Lender shall pay any draft presented under any Letter of Credit, a sum equal to the amount so paid under such Letter of Credit, plus (ii) interest at the Default Rate on any amount remaining unpaid by Borrower to Issuing Lender under clause (i) above from such time until payment in full.

Upon an Event of Default. In addition to any rights and remedies the Lender Parties may otherwise have under this Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred, Agent or Issuing Lender may in their discretion (i) by notice to Borrower, declare the obligation of Issuing Lender to issue any Letter of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the obligation of Issuing Lender to issue any Letter of Credit shall forthwith terminate, and (ii) make demand upon Borrower to, and forthwith (but no later than the end of the Business Day following notice from Agent) Borrower will pay to Agent in same day funds at Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in a special Cash Collateral Account to be maintained at such office of Agent, an amount equal to the maximum amount then available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit. The Cash Collateral Account shall be in the name of Borrower, but under the sole dominion and control of Agent, and shall be held and disbursed as follows:

Agent may from time to time invest funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, reinvest proceeds of any such investments which may mature or be sold, and invest interest or other income received from any such investments, and all such investments and reinvestments shall, for purposes of this Agreement, constitute part of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account.

If at any time Agent determines that any funds held in the Cash Collateral Account are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than claims arising under this Agreement and/or that the total amount of such funds is less than the maximum amount at such time available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit, Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the Cash Collateral Account, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such maximum amount at such time available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit over (ii) the total amount of funds, if any, then held in the Cash Collateral Account which Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim.

Borrower hereby assigns, transfers and sets over, and grants to Agent a Lien on and upon, the Cash Collateral Account, including all funds held in the Cash Collateral Account from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale of any securities shall be required by Law, at least five Business Days’ Notice to Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from

time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it will so adjourned.

Agent may, at any time or from time to time, apply funds from time to time held in the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of (i) any Reimbursement Obligation and (ii) upon termination of all Letters of Credit and payment in full of all the Reimbursement Obligation, in such order as Agent may elect, as shall have become or shall become due and payable by Borrower to Agent under this Agreement.

Neither Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Cash Collateral Account after and during the continuance of any Default.

No Liability of Issuing Lender. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither Issuing Lender nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by Issuing Lender against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

Indemnification. In addition to any other indemnification obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Lender Parties harmless from and against any and all Indemnified Losses which the Lender Parties may incur or which may be claimed against the Lender Parties by any Person by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of, or payment or failure to make lawful payment under, any Letter of Credit, except Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Issuing Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Issuing Lender if the same constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Lender.

Pro Rata Participation, Drawing and Reimbursement.

Without any further action on the part of any Lender Party, effective immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement, Issuing Lender will be deemed to have sold, transferred, and assigned to each Revolving Loan Lender at such time, and each Revolving Loan Lender will have been deemed to have purchased and accepted from Issuing Lender, such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Issuing Lender’s interest in the applicable Letter of Credit (such Pro Rata Share to be determined without taking into account such Revolving Loan Lender’s obligation to purchase as provided in this Section 5.7), which purchase shall obligate each Revolving Loan Lender to purchase from Issuing Lender such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7(C) below, and upon such purchase, shall entitle each Revolving Loan Lender, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to receive such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any and all payments made by Borrower with respect to the applicable Letter of Credit and whether required hereunder or under any Letter of Credit Agreement.

The payment by Issuing Lender of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit Advance in the amount of such draft and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of payment until the date of reimbursement by Borrower as provided hereunder.

Upon written demand by Issuing Lender, with a copy of such demand to the Agent, each Revolving Loan Lender shall purchase from Issuing Lender, and Issuing Lender shall sell and assign to each such Revolving Loan Lender, such Revolving Loan Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available to Agent for the account of Issuing Lender, by deposit to the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such Revolving Loan Lender. Promptly after receipt thereof, Agent shall transfer such funds to Issuing Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Revolving Loan Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by Issuing Lender which made such Advance, provided notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 a.m. (Birmingham, Alabama time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. Upon any such assignment by Issuing Lender to any Revolving Loan Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, Issuing Lender represents and warrants to such Revolving Loan Lender that Issuing Lender is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, free and clear of any Liens, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or any Lender Party. If and to the extent that any Revolving Loan Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Agent, such Revolving Loan Lender agrees to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand of Agent such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by Issuing Lender until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of Issuing Lender, as applicable. If such Revolving Loan Lender shall pay to Agent such amount for the account of Issuing Lender on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by

such Revolving Loan Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by Issuing Lender shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

Failure to Purchase Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any Revolving Loan Lender to purchase its Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Advance as required in Section 5.7 shall not relieve any other Revolving Loan Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit Advance, but no Revolving Loan Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Loan Lender to purchase its Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Advance.

Letter of Credit Reports. Issuing Lender shall furnish to Agent and each Lender on request (such request to be made not more frequently than monthly) a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Lender and drawings under all Letters of Credit.

PAYMENTS, ADDITIONAL COSTS, ETC.

Payment to Agent

All monies payable to Agent under this Agreement or under the Notes shall be paid directly to Agent in immediately available funds at the Place for Payment. If Agent shall send Borrower statements of amounts due hereunder, such statements shall be considered correct and conclusively binding on Borrower unless Borrower notifies Agent to the contrary within thirty (30) days of its receipt of any statement which it deems to be incorrect. Alternatively, at its discretion, Agent may charge against any deposit account of Borrower all or any part of any amount owed by Borrower hereunder.

All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder will be made to Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. at the Place for Payment. Payments received after 1:00 p.m. at the Place for Payment shall be deemed to be payments made prior to 1:00 p.m. at the Place for Payment on the next succeeding Business Day. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent to charge its accounts with Agent in order to cause timely payment of amounts due hereunder to be made.

At the time of making each such payment, Borrower shall, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, specify to Agent the Loan or other obligation of Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. In the event that Borrower fails to so specify the relevant Loan or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may apply such payments as it may determine in its discretion.

Late Payments. If any scheduled payment, whether principal, interest or principal and interest, is late ten (10) days or more, Borrower agrees to pay a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the payment which is late, but not more than the maximum amount allowed by applicable Laws. The foregoing provision shall not be deemed to excuse a late payment or be deemed a waiver of any other rights Lender Parties may have under this Agreement, including, subject to the terms hereof, the right to declare the entire unpaid principal and interest on all Loans immediately due and payable.

Prepayment. Subject to any contrary provision herein or in any other Loan Document, Borrower

may prepay or cause to be prepaid the principal of any Loan in whole or, from time to time, in part, without premium or penalty. All partial prepayments, whether voluntary or mandatory, shall be applied against principal and interest as Agent may determine in its discretion, provided that no prepayment shall entitle Borrower to cease making any payment as otherwise scheduled hereunder.

Default Rate. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate payable on the Loans shall be the Default Rate.

No Setoff or Deduction. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be made by Borrower without setoff or counterclaim, and, subject to the next succeeding sentence, free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments, or other charges of whatever nature, imposed by any Governmental Authority, or by any department, agency or other political subdivision or taxing authority. If any such taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges are imposed, Borrower will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that payment of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder, after withholding or deduction for or on account thereof, will not be less than any amount provided to be paid hereunder and, in any such case, Borrower will furnish to Agent certified copies of all tax receipts evidencing the payment of such amounts within 30 days after the date any such payment is due pursuant to applicable Laws.

Payment on Non-Business Day; Payment Computations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, whenever any installment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or other amount due hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any installment of principal, interest shall be payable thereon at the rate per annum determined in accordance with this Agreement during such extension.

Indemnification. If Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Loan on any other date than the last day of an interest period applicable thereto, or if Borrower fails to borrow any Loan after notice has been given to Agent in accordance with this Agreement, or if Borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest in respect of any Loan when due, Borrower shall reimburse Agent on demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by Agent, including without limitation any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, whether or not Agent shall have funded or committed to fund such loan. A statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Agent and submitted by Agent to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation. Calculation of all amounts payable to Agent under this Section shall be made as though Agent shall have actually funded or committed to fund such Loan through the purchase of an underlying deposit in an amount equal to the amount of such Loan in the relevant market and having a maturity comparable to the related interest period and through the transfer of such deposit to a domestic office of Agent in the United States; provided, however, that Agent may fund such Loan in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be

utilized only for the purpose of calculation of amounts payable under this Section.

360-Day Year. All interest payable under the Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year by multiplying the outstanding principal amount by the applicable per annum rate, multiplying the product thereof by the actual number of days elapsed, and dividing the product so obtained by 360.

No Requirement to Actually Obtain Funds. Notwithstanding the fact that the Interest Rate pursuant to the Loans may be calculated based upon Lender’s cost of funds, Borrower agrees that Lender shall not be required actually to obtain funds from such source at any time.

Usury Limitation. If, at any time, the Interest Rate payable on any Loan shall be deemed by any competent court of law or any Governmental Authority to exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted by any applicable Laws, then, for such time as the Interest Rate would be deemed excessive, its application shall be suspended and there shall be charged instead the maximum rate of interest permissible under such Laws, and any excess interest actually collected by Lender shall be credited as a partial prepayment of principal.

Insurance and Condemnation Covenants.

Borrower will obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, at all times while Borrower is indebted to Lenders, at Borrower’s sole expense: (a) the Title Insurance Policy; (b) all-risk insurance with respect to all insurable property comprising the Tangible Property, against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, explosion, hail, tornado and such hazards as are presently included in so-called “all-risk” coverage and against such other insurable hazards as Agent may require, in an amount not less than 100% of the full replacement cost, including the cost of debris removal, without deduction for depreciation and sufficient to prevent Agent and Borrower from becoming a coinsurer, such insurance to be in builder’s risk (non-reporting) form during and with respect to any construction on the Land; (c) if and to the extent any portion of the Improvements is in a special flood hazard area, a flood insurance policy in an amount equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal face amount of the Notes or the maximum amount available;

(d) comprehensive general public liability insurance, on an “occurrence” basis, for the benefit of Borrower and Agent as named insureds; (e) statutory workers’ compensation insurance with respect to any work on or about the Mortgaged Property; and (f) such other insurance as may from time to time be required by Agent (including but not limited to boiler and machinery insurance, earthquake insurance, and war risk insurance) and against other insurable hazards or casualties which at the time are commonly insured against in the case of premises similarly situated, due regard being given to the height, type, construction, location, use and occupancy of buildings and improvements. All insurance policies shall be issued and maintained by insurers, in amounts, with deductibles, and in form satisfactory to Agent, and shall require not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Agent of any cancellation or change of coverage. All insurance policies maintained, or caused to be maintained, by Borrower with respect to Borrower’s Tangible Property, except for public liability insurance, shall provide that each such policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance that may be carried by Borrower or Agent and that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured. If any insurer which has issued a policy of title, hazard, liability or other insurance required pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document becomes insolvent or the subject of any Bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding or if in Agent’s opinion the financial responsibility of such insurer is or becomes inadequate, Borrower shall, in each instance promptly upon the request of Agent and at Borrower’s expense, obtain and deliver to Agent a like policy (or, if and to the extent permitted by Agent, a certificate of insurance) issued by another insurer, which insurer and policy meet the requirements of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents, as the case may be. Without limiting the discretion of Agent with respect to required endorsements to insurance policies, all such policies for loss of or damage to the Mortgaged Property shall contain a standard mortgage clause (without contribution) naming Agent as mortgagee with loss proceeds payable to Agent notwithstanding (i) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of any warranty, declaration or condition contained in any such policy by any named insured; (ii) the occupation or use of the Mortgaged Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of any such policy; (iii) any foreclosure or other action by Agent under the Loan Documents; or (iv) any change in title to or ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, and shall further contain the agreement of the insurer waiving all rights of set off, counterclaim or deductions against Borrower. The originals of each initial insurance policy (or to the extent permitted by Agent, a copy of the original policy and a satisfactory certificate of insurance) shall be delivered to Agent at the time of execution of this Agreement, with premiums fully paid, and each renewal or substitute policy (or certificate) shall be delivered to Agent, with premiums fully paid, at least ten (10) days before the termination of the policy it renews or replaces. Borrower shall pay all premiums on policies required hereunder as they become due and payable and promptly deliver to Agent evidence satisfactory to Agent of the timely payment thereof. In the event Borrower fails to provide, maintain, keep in force or deliver and furnish to Agent the insurance required by this Section, Agent may procure such insurance or single-interest insurance for such risks covering Agent’s interest, and Borrower will pay all premiums thereon promptly upon demand by Agent. Until such payment is made by Borrower, the amount of all such premiums shall be added to and become part of the Obligations. If any loss occurs at any time when Borrower has failed to perform Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Section, Agent shall nevertheless be entitled

to the benefit of all insurance covering the loss and held by or for Borrower, to the same extent as if it had been made payable to Agent. Upon any foreclosure of the Mortgage or transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment of the whole or any part of the Loans or any other amounts owing by Borrower to Lender Party, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the insurance policies referred to in this Section (including unearned premiums) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at foreclosure or other such transferee, to the extent permissible under such policies, and Agent is hereby irrevocably appointed by Borrower as attorney-in-fact for Borrower to assign any such policy to said purchaser or other such transferee without accounting to Borrower for any unearned premiums thereon. Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make proof of loss for, settle and adjust any claim under, and receive the proceeds of, all insurance for loss of or damage to the Mortgaged Property, and the expenses incurred by Agent in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be added to and become part of the Obligations and shall be due and payable to Agent on demand. Agent shall not be, under any circumstances, liable or responsible for failure to collect or exercise diligence in the collection of any of such proceeds or for the obtaining, maintaining or adequacy of any insurance or for failure to see to the proper application of any amount paid over to Borrower. Any such proceeds received by Agent shall be applied and disbursed as provided in this Agreement. Borrower appoints Agent as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to cause the issuance of or an endorsement of any policy and to otherwise bring Borrower into compliance with the provisions of this Section and to make any claim for, receive payment for, and execute and endorse any documents, checks or other instruments in payment for loss, theft, or damage under any such insurance policy.

Subject to the provisions of the immediately succeeding paragraph and any contrary provisions in any Mortgage, after deducting from any casualty insurance proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including attorney’s fees, Agent shall apply the same at its option (i) to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not due and in whatever order Agent elects, (in which case a portion of or the entire Obligations shall, at Agent’s option, immediately become due and payable), (ii) to the repair and/or restoration of the Improvements, or (iii) for any other purposes or objects for which Agent is entitled to advance funds under any Loan Document, all without affecting any Lien created by any Security Document, and any balance of such monies then remaining shall be paid to Borrower or the Person lawfully entitled thereto. Agent shall not be held responsible for any failure to collect any insurance proceeds due under the terms of any policy regardless of the cause of such failure.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph to the contrary, Agent agrees that the proceeds of any casualty insurance or any part thereof (after deducting therefrom all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including reasonable attorney’s fees) payable on account of loss or damage to the Improvements will be made available by Agent to be applied by Borrower to restoration or repair of the Improvements provided the following conditions are met:

there exists no Default and Agent is satisfied that the occurrence of such event (after making the insurance proceeds available as provided herein) will not give rise to a Default;

Borrower presents sufficient evidence satisfactory to Agent that (A) the Improvements are capable of being, and will be, restored in compliance with all applicable Laws to an architectural whole and to substantially the same condition and value as prior to the casualty, (B) restoration of

the Improvements to an architectural whole will be completed on or before the Term Loan Maturity Date, (C) there are sufficient funds from such insurance proceeds and other available monies, to completely restore or repair the Improvements to an architectural whole, and (D) Agent will not incur any liability to any other Person as a result of such use or release of insurance proceeds;

all parties having existing or expected possessory interests in the Improvements agree to continue, in a manner satisfactory to Agent, to fulfill the contract terms then in effect following the restoration or repair (including, without limitation, the payment of rent or other sums without abatement or reduction except as approved by Agent in its discretion), or Borrower shall deliver security satisfactory to Agent in its discretion, to substitute for the loss of income caused by the failure of any such possessory interest to agree to continue to fulfill the contract terms then in effect following restoration or repair; and

Borrower shall enter into such agreements and deliver such other documents and other things as may reasonably be required by Agent in connection with the disbursement of all such proceeds.

If the foregoing conditions are satisfied within ninety (90) days of the date of loss, then the insurance proceeds shall be held by Agent and, after deducting from said insurance proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including attorney’s fees, Agent shall disburse the net insurance proceeds to or on behalf of Borrower (pursuant to a procedure satisfactory to Agent) as repair or restoration progresses and to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expenses of such restoration or repair; and to the extent any such proceeds are not required to defray the expenses of such restoration or repair, Agent may, at its option, apply any such unused proceeds as provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph (B) of this Section. At all times during such restoration or repair, Borrower shall deposit with Agent funds which, when added to insurance proceeds on deposit with Agent, are sufficient to complete the restoration or repair of the Improvements to an architectural whole, as determined by Agent, in Agent’s discretion, in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and all applicable Laws.

If the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section are not satisfied within ninety (90) days of the date of loss, then the insurance proceeds shall be disbursed as provided for in the immediately preceding paragraph (B) of this Section.

If all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term shall include any damage or taking by any Governmental Authority and any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, other than an insubstantial taking for the purpose of widening existing roads bordering the Land which does not adversely affect access or the use of the Mortgaged Property for its intended purposes, then a portion of or the entire Obligations shall, at the option of Agent, immediately become due and payable. Borrower, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution, or the proposed, contemplated or threatened institution of any action or proceeding for the taking through condemnation of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof will notify Agent, and Agent is hereby authorized, at its option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, through counsel selected by Agent, in its own or in Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation. Borrower may compromise or settle any claim for compensation, but shall not make any compromise or settlement for an award unless all of the Obligations are paid and

satisfied in full, without the prior written consent of Agent. All such compensation, awards, damages, claims, rights of action and proceeds and the right thereto are hereby assigned by Borrower to Agent, and Agent is authorized, at its option, to collect and receive all such compensation, awards or damages and to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor without any obligation to question the amount of any such compensation, awards or damages. After deducting from said condemnation proceeds all of its expenses incurred in the collection and administration of such sums, including reasonable attorney’s fees, the net proceeds shall be dealt with by Agent in accordance with, and subject to, the same terms and conditions as set forth in Paragraph (B) or Paragraph (C), as applicable, of Section 10.4 hereof as if the condemnation proceeds were insurance proceeds and as if the date the condemnation proceeds become payable to Borrower was the date of loss.

Promptly after Borrower’s learning thereof, Borrower shall inform Agent in writing of any material delay or default in Borrower’s performance of any of its obligations to any Purchaser or under any Assigned Agreement, if such delay or default may give rise to any assertion of any material claims, offsets or counterclaims by any Purchaser, or any Material Adverse Change.

Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably consents to, and to the extent that Borrower may lawfully do so, invites Agent and its

agents to come upon any premises on which the Collateral, or any part thereof, is now or hereafter located for any and all purposes related to the Collateral including without limitation repossession of the Collateral, or any part thereof. To the extent that Borrower may lawfully do so, Borrower further covenants and warrants that (a) any entry by Agent and its agents upon such premises for the purpose of repossessing the Collateral, or any part thereof, shall not be trespass upon such premises, and (b) any such repossession shall not constitute conversion of the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Borrower further agrees to indemnify and hold Agent harmless against, and hereby releases Agent from any actions, costs, obligations or expenses arising directly, indirectly or remotely from any attempt to enter such premises and repossess the Collateral, or any part thereof. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if it takes such reasonable actions for that purpose as Borrower shall request in writing, but Agent shall have sole power to determine whether such actions are reasonable. Any omission to do any act not requested by Borrower shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care. Borrower shall at all times be responsible for the preservation of the Collateral and shall be liable for any failure to realize upon, or to exercise any right or power with respect to, the Collateral, or for any delay in so doing, whether or not the Collateral is in Borrower’s possession.

Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise expressly required to the contrary by applicable Law or any Loan Document, the net cash proceeds resulting from the exercise of any of the rights and remedies of Lender Parties under this Agreement, after deducting all charges, expenses, costs and attorneys’ fees relating thereto, shall be applied by Agent to the payment of the Obligations, whether due or to become due, in such order and in such proportions as Agent may elect; and Borrower shall remain liable to Lender Parties for any deficiency.

Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Agent, or any other Person whom Agent may designate, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact (such appointment being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable until Agent’s Lien shall have been terminated in writing as set forth in this Agreement), at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to exercise any one or more of the following rights and powers at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and all acts of such attorney-in-fact or designee taken pursuant to this Section are hereby ratified and approved by Borrower, and said attorney or designee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law):

To take or to bring, in the name of Agent or in the name of Borrower, all steps, action, suits or proceeding deemed by Agent necessary or desirable to effect collection of the Accounts;

To settle, adjust, compromise, extend, renew, discharge, terminate or release the Accounts in whole or in part;

To use Borrower’s stationery and sign the name of Borrower to verifications of the Accounts and

notices thereof to Purchasers;

To sell or assign any of the Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as Agent deems advisable, and to execute any bills of sale or assignments in the name of Borrower in relation thereto;

To use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral to which Borrower has access;

To enter into contracts or agreements for the processing, fabrication, packaging and delivery of the Collateral as said attorney-in-fact or designee or Agent may from time to time deem appropriate and charge Borrower’s account for any reasonable costs thereby incurred;

To receive, take, endorse, assign and deliver in Agent’s name or in the name of Borrower any and all checks, notes, drafts and other instruments;

To receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery thereof to such address as Agent may designate; and

To do all acts and things necessary, in Agent’s discretion, to fulfill Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

Default Costs. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to each Lender Party upon demand all Default Costs incurred by such Lender Party, which agreement shall be a continuing agreement and shall survive payment of the Loans and termination of this Agreement.

THE AGENT.

Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters expressly provided for in the Loan Documents as being subject to the consent, discretion or approval of Agent without the requirement of the approval of any Lender, such matters shall be subject to the sole discretion of Agent, its directors, officers, agents and employees. As to any matters expressly provided for in the Loan Documents as being subject to the consent, discretion or approval of the Required Lenders or of all of the Lenders, such matters shall be subject to the sole discretion of each Lender. In addition to the other matters specifically provided for herein as requiring approval or consent of all of the Lenders or of the Required Lenders, Agent shall not take any of the following actions without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders:

modify, amend or waive compliance with any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

release any obligor or any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral; or

waive any Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1(A) of this Agreement.

As to any other matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, Agent shall be entitled to request instructions from the Required Lenders in exercising any discretion or taking any action and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lender Parties and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable Law.

In the event that the Agent has knowledge of a Default or Event of Default or receives a notice thereof from a Lender or a Borrower, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders (provided that Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge only if the officers of Agent primarily responsible for administration of the Loans have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default, and in no event shall any knowledge of a Default or Event of Default be imputed to Agent). Agent may, in its discretion, or shall upon direction of the Required Lenders, give any notice pursuant to this Agreement that is necessary for commencement of any cure period. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lenders shall consult with each other as to a course of action to pursue with regard to such Event of Default. After the Lenders shall have consulted with one another, Agent shall promptly propose a course of action (the “Initial Proposal”) to be taken by Lenders including but not limited to:

(A) declaring an Event of Default, sending appropriate notices, or accelerating payment under the Notes; or

commencing collection proceedings against one or more of the Borrowers; or

waiving such Event of Default.

The Initial Proposal shall be in writing and given to Lenders in the manner specified for giving notice hereunder. After five (5) Business Days from the Lenders’ receipt of the Initial Proposal, Agent shall commence steps to carry out the Initial Proposal, unless Agent shall have received written notice from any of the Lenders that the Initial Proposal has been rejected. If the Initial Proposal is rejected by any of the Lenders, and an alternate proposal is not agreed upon by all of the Lenders within ten (10) days of the date of the Initial Proposal, Agent shall, and it is hereby authorized, empowered, directed and instructed to take any action consistent with ordinary and prudent commercial banking standards to collect the amounts due under the Loans and to protect and preserve the respective rights and interest of the Lenders as is authorized by any of the Loan Documents. Lenders agree that any actions taken by Agent pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed a reasonable course of conduct, and the Lenders hereby, approve, ratify and affirm such actions. Once a course of action has been approved, as required herein, it may be withdrawn with approval of all of the Lenders.

Agent’s Notices, Etc. Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice of Default given to it by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither Agent (nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees) shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until

Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Lender Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Lender Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Lender Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper Person.

SouthTrust and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, SouthTrust shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent; and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include SouthTrust in its capacity as a lender under this Agreement. SouthTrust and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower and any other Lender, any of their respective Subsidiaries and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any such Person, all as if SouthTrust were not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any Person.

Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements of Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

Indemnification

Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by Borrower) from and against such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or

disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by Borrower under this Agreement, to the extent that Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrower. The failure of any Lender to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any amount required to be paid by Lender to Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse Agent for its Pro Rata Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse Agent for such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify Issuing Lender (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by Borrower) from and against such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Issuing Lender in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Issuing Lender under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Issuing Lender promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by Borrower under this Agreement, to the extent that Issuing Lender is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrower. The failure of any Lender to reimburse Issuing Lender promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to Issuing Lender as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse Issuing Lender for its Pro Rata Share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse Issuing Lender for such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

Successor Agent. Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and Borrower, and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Security Documents, and such other instruments or notices, as may be

necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security Documents, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XVII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

No Third Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Article 12 are solely for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and no Person other than the Lender Parties is intended to be a beneficiary of the rights and obligations of Lender Parties under this Article 12, and Lender Parties shall have the right to amend or modify this Article 12, or waive any requirement under this Article 12, without the consent or approval of any other Person (except Lender Parties shall notify Borrowers as to any such amendment or modification).

MISCELLANEOUS

Termination of Agent’s Lien. This Agreement and the Agent’s Lien will not be terminated until one of Agent’s officers signs a written termination or satisfaction agreement to such effect. Even if all of the Obligations owing to Lender Parties at any time should be paid, Agent’s Lien will continue to secure any Obligation of Borrower thereafter arising until the written termination or satisfaction agreement referred to above has been executed by Agent. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, no termination of this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, obligations, duties and Obligations of Borrower or the powers, rights, and remedies of Lender Party under this Agreement with respect to any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, all of which shall survive such termination. Except as may otherwise expressly be provided herein to the contrary, in no event shall Agent be obligated to terminate Agent’s Lien or return or release the Collateral or any portion thereof to Borrower (a) until payment in full of the Obligations, or (b) if Lender Party is obligated to extend credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement.

Construction. The provisions of this Agreement shall be in addition to those of any other Loan Document and any guaranty, pledge or security agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security deed, note or other evidence of liability given by Borrower to Lender Party to or for the benefit of, all of which shall be construed as complementary to each other, and all existing liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Lender Party and any Liens heretofore granted to or for the benefit of Lender Party shall, except and only to the extent expressly provided herein to the contrary, remain in full force and effect, and shall not be released, impaired, diminished, or in any other way modified or amended as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or by the agreements and undertaking of Borrower contained herein and therein. Nothing herein contained shall prevent Lender Party from enforcing any or all other notes, guaranties, pledges or security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, or security deeds in accordance with their respective terms. In the event of a conflict between any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, any one or more of the Security Documents or any other Loan

Document, the provisions most favorable to Lender Party shall control.

Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender Party and its officers, directors, agents, and attorneys against, and to hold Lender Party and all such other Persons harmless from all Indemnified Losses resulting from any representation or warranty made by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf pursuant to this Agreement having been false when made, or resulting from Borrower’s breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, which indemnification is in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common law right or remedy Lender Party may have for breach of representation, warranty, statement or covenant or otherwise may have under any of the Loan Documents. This agreement of indemnity shall be a continuing agreement and shall survive payment of the Loans and termination of this Agreement.

Lender Party’s Consent. Except where otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance where the approval, consent, or the exercise of Lender Party’s judgment or discretion is required or permitted, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment or discretion shall be (a) within the sole discretion of the applicable Lender Party; and (b) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for the purpose given and executed by the applicable Lender Party.

Enforcement and Waiver by Lender Party. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender Party shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, and each of other Loan Documents in strict accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of Lender Party in refraining from so doing at any time or times. The failure of Lender Party at any time or times to enforce its rights under such provisions, strictly in accordance with the same, shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to specific provisions of this Agreement or as having in any way or manner modified or waived the same. All rights and remedies of Lender Party are cumulative and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy.

No Representation, Assumption, or Duty. Nothing, including any Advance or acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any Person by Lender Party. Any inspection or audit of the Collateral or the Records of Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Lender Party shall be for Lender Party’s protection only, and shall not constitute any assumption of responsibility by Lender Party with respect thereto or relieve Borrower of any of Borrower’s obligations.

Expenses of Lender Parties. Borrower will, on demand, reimburse Lender Party for all expenses incurred by Lender Party in connection with the closing of the Loans (except the legal fees of Compass incurred in connection with the closing of the Loans shall be limited to $5,000.00) and the preparation, negotiation, amendment, modification, interpretation, administration, and/or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and/or in the collection of any amounts owing from Borrower or any other Person to Lender Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and, until so paid, the amount of such expenses shall be added to and

become part of the amount of the Obligations.

Attorneys’ Fees. If at any time or times hereafter Lender Party employs counsel to advise or provide other representation with respect to this Agreement, any Loan Document, or any other agreement, document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter executed by Borrower Party and delivered to Lender Party with respect to the Obligations, or to commence, defend or intervene, file a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings or to take any other action in or with respect to any pending, threatened or anticipated suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement, any Loan Document, or any other agreement, instrument or document heretofore, now or hereafter executed by Borrower and delivered to Lender Party with respect to the Obligations, or to represent Lender Party in any litigation with respect to the affairs of Borrower, or to enforce any rights of Lender Party or obligations of Borrower or any other Person which may be obligated to Lender Party by virtue of this Agreement, any Loan Document, or any other agreement, document or instrument heretofore, now or hereafter delivered to Lender Party by or for the benefit of Borrower with respect to the Obligations, or to collect from Borrower any amounts owing hereunder, then in any such event, all of the attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender Party arising from such services and any expenses, costs and charges relating thereto shall constitute additional obligations of Borrower payable on demand and, until so paid, shall be added to and become part of the Obligations.

Exclusiveness. This Agreement, the Notes, the Security Documents, and any other Loan Documents made pursuant hereto are made for the sole protection of Borrower, Lender Party, and Lender Party’s successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have any right of action hereunder.

Waiver and Release by Borrower. Borrower (A) waives protest of all commercial paper at any time held by Lender Party on which Borrower is any way liable; (B) waives notice of acceleration and of intention to accelerate; (C) waives notice and opportunity to be heard, after acceleration, before exercise by Lender Party of the remedies of self-help, set-off, or of other summary procedures permitted by any applicable Laws or by any agreement with Borrower, and except where required hereby or by any applicable Laws which requirement cannot be waived, notice of any other action taken by Lender Party; and (D) releases the Lender Parties and their respective officers, attorneys, agents and employees from all claims for loss or damage caused by any act or omission on the part of any of them except willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Limitation on Waiver of Notice, Etc. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any applicable Law expressly limits any waiver of any right contained herein or in any other Loan Document (including any waiver of any notice or other demand), such waiver shall be ineffective to such extent.

Additional Costs. In the event that any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Lender Party, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender Party with any guideline, request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (i) affect the basis of taxation of payments to

Lender Party of any amounts payable by Borrower under this Agreement (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of Lender Party), or (ii) 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 Lender Party, or (iii) impose any other condition with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or the Loans, or (iv) affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender Party, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender Party of making, funding or maintaining the Loans or to reduce the amount of any amount receivable by Lender Party thereon, then Borrower shall pay to Lender Party from time to time, upon request by Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable to the extent Lender Party is not compensated therefor in the computation of the interest rate applicable to the Loans. A statement as to the amount of such increased cost or reduced amount receivable, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by Lender Party and submitted by Lender Party to Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.

Illegality and Impossibility. In the event that any applicable Law now or hereafter in effect and whether or not presently applicable to Lender Party, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender Party with any guideline, request or directive of such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), including without limitation exchange controls, shall make it unlawful or impossible for Lender Party to maintain any Loan under this Agreement, Borrower shall upon receipt of reasonable notice thereof from Lender Party repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of such Loan, together with all accrued interest thereon to the date of payment and all amounts owing to Lender Party, (a) on the last day of the then current interest period applicable to such Loan if Lender Party may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such day, or (b) immediately if Lender Party may not continue to maintain such Loan to such day.

Assignments and Participations.

Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $1,000,000.00, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing fee of $5,000.00.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto

and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or any other Lender Party or the performance or observance by any Lender Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the Financial Statements and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

Agent shall maintain at its principal office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a record of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and Lender Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form as required by this Agreement, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower and each Lender. In the

case of any assignment by Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the Note or Notes so surrendered.

Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Lender Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) Borrower, Agent and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Lender Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or substantially all of the Collateral.

Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower Party; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information received by it from such Lender.
