The term "Applicable Exit Fee Percentage" means: two percent (2.0%) if the payment is made on or before the twenty-fourth (24^th) full calendar month following the Closing Date; one percent (1.0%) if the payment is made during or after the twenty-fifth (25^th) full calendar month following the Closing Date and before or during the thirty-sixth (36^th) full calendar month following the Closing Date; and one half of one percent (.50%) if the payment is made during or after the thirty-seventh (37^th) full calendar month following the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Termination Date occurs during the Closed Period, the Exit Fee shall be an amount equal to the sum of two percent (2.0%) multiplied by the Term Loan Commitment plus the amount of interest which would have been due and payable from the Termination Date through the end of the Closed Period, assuming a Base Rate equal to the Base Rate as of the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Term Loan is repaid with the proceeds of a mortgage loan facility provided by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ with respect to all of the Projects not previously released from the Lien of the Financing Documents pursuant to Section 2.12 or (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ fails to deliver a term sheet with respect to providing such mortgage loan facility within thirty (30) days after receipt from Borrowers of a written request for a term sheet, the Applicable Exit Fee Percentage shall be reduced by one-half of one percent (.50%) with respect to payments made from such refinancing proceeds.

e) Audit Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, all reasonable fees and expenses in connection with audits of Borrowers' books and records, audits, valuations or appraisals of the Collateral, audits of Borrowers' compliance with applicable Laws and such other matters as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, which shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of the month following the date of issuance by Administrative Agent of a written request for payment thereof to Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and remains outstanding, Administrative Agent shall not charge audit fees in respect of any inspections or related actions unless such audit shows discrepancies exceeding 10%. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing audits by Lender shall not be undertaken more frequently than annually.

(f) Wire Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account and not for the account of any other Lenders, on written demand, any and all reasonable fees, costs or expenses which Administrative Agent pays to a bank or other similar institution (including, without limitation, any fees paid by Administrative Agent to any other Lender) arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to Borrowers or any other Person on behalf of Borrowers, by Administrative Agent, of proceeds of the Loans made by any Lender to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the depositing for collection, by Administrative Agent, of any check or item of payment received or delivered to Administrative Agent on account of Obligations.

-21-

(g) Real Property Inspection Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, on the Closing Date, and on each anniversary of the Closing Date thereafter, a real property inspection fee of Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) per Project per year.

(h) Late Charges. If payments of principal (other than a final installment of principal upon the Termination Date), interest due on the Obligations, or any other amounts due hereunder or under the other Financing Documents are not timely made and remain overdue for a period of five (5) days, Borrowers, without notice or demand by Administrative Agent, promptly shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account and not for the benefit of any other Lenders, as additional compensation to Administrative Agent in administering the Obligations, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of each delinquent payment.

(i) Computation of Interest and Related Fees. All interest and fees under each Financing Document shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The date of funding of Loan shall be included in the calculation of interest. The date of payment of a Loan shall be excluded from the calculation of interest. If a Loan is repaid on the same day that it is made, one (1) day's interest shall be charged. Interest on all Loans is payable in arrears on the first (1st) day of each month and on the maturity of such Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise.

(j) Automated Clearing House Payments. If an Event of Default has occurred and Administrative Agent so elects, monthly payments of interest and amortization shall be paid to Administrative Agent by Automated Clearing House debit of immediately available funds from the financial institution account designated by Borrower Representative in the Automated Clearing House debit authorization executed by Borrowers or Borrower Representative in connection with this Agreement, and shall be effective upon receipt. Borrowers shall execute any and all forms and documentation necessary from time to time to effectuate such automatic debiting. In no event shall any such payments be refunded to Borrowers.

Section 2.4 Notes.

The portion of the Term Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced, if so requested by such Lender, by a promissory note executed by Borrowers on a joint and several basis (a "Term Loan Note") in an original principal amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Commitment.

Section 2.5 Reserves and Escrows.

(a) Requirements. Borrowers agree to establish and maintain all of the reserves and escrows required in this Section 2.5. All sums so reserved or escrowed may be commingled with the general funds of Administrative Agent and no such sums shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of Borrowers. Interest at the rates available to Lender for escrow depository accounts shall accrue and be added to the funds held by Lender pursuant to Sections 2.5(b) and 2.5(c) hereunder. No interest shall be payable on any other funds reserved or escrowed hereunder. All sums so reserved or escrowed shall be part of the Collateral and shall stand as additional security for all of the Obligations. If Administrative Agent at any time reasonably determines that the amount on deposit in any reserve or escrow is insufficient for its intended purposes, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days following notice from Administrative Agent, deposit such additional sums as may reasonably be required by Administrative Agent. In the event of any default by Borrowers under the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, Administrative Agent may, at its discretion, apply amounts on hand in the reserves or escrows to cure such default. Upon demand of Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall replenish the applicable reserve or escrow to restore any sums so applied by Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or the maturity of any portion of the Obligations, the moneys then remaining on deposit with Administrative Agent shall, at Administrative Agent's option, be applied against the Obligations in such order and manner as Administrative Agent may elect or as may otherwise be required under this Agreement.

-22-

(b) Real Property Taxes. At the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under the Notes, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount estimated by Administrative Agent to be sufficient (when aggregated with an initial deposit to be designated by Administrative Agent and paid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date or otherwise upon demand of Administrative Agent) to pay at least thirty (30) days before they become due and payable, all taxes, assessments and other similar charges levied against any portion of the Collateral constituting real property (collectively, the "Taxes"). In the event such real property or any portion thereof is part of a larger tract for purposes of taxation and assessments, Administrative Agent may require the Borrowers to have the real property taxed and assessed as a separate parcel or separate parcels, or, in the alternative, to make the deposits required under this section based upon the taxation and assessment of the larger tract. So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, Administrative Agent shall apply the escrows sums to pay the Taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the obligation of Borrowers to pay the Taxes is not affected or modified by the provisions of this paragraph.

(c) Insurance Premiums. If an Event of Default or failure to timely pay insurance premiums occurs, then Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an initial deposit amount which is sufficient when aggregated with the monthly payment described below to pay the Insurance Premiums next becoming due and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount estimated by Administrative Agent to be sufficient to pay at least thirty (30) days before they become due and payable all insurance premiums and other similar charges in connection with the insurance required to be carried by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or the other Financing Documents (collectively, the "Insurance Premiums"). So long as no Event of Default exists hereunder, Administrative Agent shall apply the sums to pay the Insurance Premiums. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the obligation of Borrowers to pay the Insurance Premiums is not affected or modified by the provisions of this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the insurance premiums are paid via a premium financing arrangement to which Administrative Agent has given its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, then (i) the amount to be escrowed with Administrative Agent at any given time in respect of such Insurance Premiums shall be three (3) months of payments under the premium finance arrangement, (ii) Borrowers shall tender to Administrative Agent each month (on such schedule as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request) evidence that Borrowers (or the owner of the policy if the Borrowers share in a blanket policy) has paid the applicable premium finance amount due for the preceding month, and (iii) Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to remit such escrowed sums in payment of the premium finance amounts.

-23-

(d) Capital Replacement Reserve. At the time of and in addition to the monthly installments of principal and/or interest due under any of the Notes, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent monthly deposits in the amount of $25 per bed at each Licensed Location (the "Replacement Minimum") to be held by Administrative Agent in a capital replacement reserve ("Capital Replacement Reserve"). So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the funds contained in the Capital Replacement Reserve shall be utilized to pay directly or to reimburse Borrowers solely for capital improvements approved in advance by Administrative Agent in writing Subject to the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall release funds from the Capital Replacement Reserve for the actual cost of such approved capital improvements upon Borrowers' providing Administrative Agent with paid receipts, lien waivers and other documentation deemed reasonably necessary by Administrative Agent with minimum draws of $25,000.00 which shall occur no more frequently than once per month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers' obligation to make deposits shall be suspended so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing and Borrowers provide Administrative Agent with satisfactory evidence, on an annual basis beginning January 1, 2007, that Borrowers have expended during the preceding calendar year for approved capital improvements at each Licensed Location an amount equal or greater than $300 per bed at each Licensed Location; provided that if Borrowers do not satisfy said $300 per bed at each Licensed Location requirement, then, no later than January 31 of the applicable year, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount by which $300 per bed at each applicable Licensed Location exceeds the amount actually spent during such year at such Licensed Location which amount shall be held by Administrative Agent in the Capital Replacement Reserve.

Section 2.6 General Provisions Regarding Payment; Loan Account.

(a) All payments to be made by each Borrower under any Financing Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Financing Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of calculating financial covenants and computations contained herein and determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any such extended due date, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on the original due date without giving effect to any extension thereto). Any payments received in the Payment Account before noon (Chicago time) on any date shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent on such date, and any payments received in the Payment Account after noon (Chicago time) on any date shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day. Any optional or mandatory prepayment of a Term Loan shall be accompanied by timely delivery to Administrative Agent of an appropriately completed Payment Notification, as provided in Section 2.1.

-24-

(b) Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the "Loan Account") on its books to record Loans and other extensions of credit made by the Lenders hereunder or under any other Financing Document, and all payments thereon made by each Borrower. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Administrative Agent's customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded in Administrative Agent's books and records at any time shall be conclusive and binding evidence of the amounts due and owing to Administrative Agent by each Borrower absent clear and convincing evidence to the contrary; provided, however, that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower's duty to pay all amounts owing hereunder or under any other Financing Document. Administrative Agent shall endeavor to provide Borrowers with a monthly statement regarding the Loan Account (but neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability if Administrative Agent shall fail to provide any such statement). Unless any Borrower notifies Administrative Agent of any objection to any such statement (specifically describing the basis for such objection) within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt thereof, it shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers in all respects as to all matters reflected therein.

Section 2.7 Maximum Interest.

(a) In no event shall the interest charged with respect to the Notes (if any) or any other obligations of any Borrower under any Financing Document exceed the maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of Illinois or of any other applicable jurisdiction.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable hereunder or under any Note or other Financing Document (the "Stated Rate") would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable law to be charged (the "Maximum Lawful Rate"), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, each Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply.

-25-

(c) In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, any Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other amounts are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrowers.

(d) In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.

Section 2.8 Taxes.

(a) All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, payroll, employment, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by Administrative Agent's or any Lender's net income by the jurisdiction under which Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized or conducts business (other than solely as the result of entering into any of the Financing Documents or taking any action thereunder) (all non-excluded items being called "Taxes"). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by any Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then Borrowers will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Administrative Agent and Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Administrative Agent and each Lender will equal the full amount Administrative Agent and such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Taxes are directly asserted against Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and Borrowers will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which Administrative Agent or such Lender first made written demand therefor.

(b) If any Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Administrative Agent, for the account of Administrative Agent and the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

Section 2.9 Capital Adequacy.

If any Lender shall reasonably determine that the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, in each instance, after the Closing Date, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation, administration or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or the compliance by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency adopted or otherwise taking effect after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such controlling Person's capital as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, taking effect, change, interpretation, administration, application or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's or such controlling Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy) then from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor.

Section 2.10 Mitigation Obligations.

If any Lender requires compensation under Section 2.9, or requires any Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8, then, upon the written request of Borrower Representative, 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 (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such Section, as the case may be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined in its sole discretion). Without limitation of the provisions of Section 12.1, Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 2.11 Appointment of Borrower Representative.

Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower other than Borrower Representative shall be entitled to take any of the foregoing actions. The proceeds of each Loan made hereunder shall be advanced to or at the direction of Borrower Representative and if not used by Borrower Representative in its business (for the purposes provided in this Agreement) shall be deemed to be immediately advanced by Borrower Representative to the appropriate other Borrower hereunder as an intercompany loan (collectively, "Intercompany Loans"). Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Financing Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or all Borrowers hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Borrower or all Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

Section 6.6 Evidence of Compliance.

Borrowers shall furnish to Lender, concurrently with the financial reports and documentation required by Section 4.1(b)(v), evidence (in form and content satisfactory to Lender) of Borrowers' compliance with the covenants in this Article and evidence that no Event of Default specified in this Article has occurred. Such evidence shall include, without limitation, (a) a statement and report, on a form approved by Administrative Agent, detailing Borrowers' calculations, and (b) if requested by Administrative Agent, back-up documentation (including, without limitation, invoices, receipts and other evidence of costs incurred during such quarter as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require) evidencing the propriety of the calculations.

Section 6.7 Financial Covenant Default.

(a) In the event that Borrowers fail to satisfy the Debt Yield Covenant as of any calculation date (i.e., the date as of which covenant compliance is calculated; not the date on which the determination of compliance or non-compliance is made), Borrowers shall, within ten (10) calendar days after the date the financial reports and compliance certificates required by Sections 4.1(b)(v) and 6.6 are due, pay to Administrative Agent, as a mandatory prepayment, an amount (a "Covenant Prepayment") which, if such amount were applied against the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, would be sufficient to satisfy the Debt Yield Covenant as of such calculation date, calculating the outstanding principal balance of the Loans after giving proforma effect to such Covenant Prepayment. Failure to satisfy the Debt Yield Covenant shall be deemed an Event of Default under Section 11.1 only if Borrowers fail to make the Covenant Prepayment, together with the proportionate amount of the Exit Fee owing with respect thereto within said ten (10) day period.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.7(a), if Borrowers fail to satisfy the Debt Yield Covenant for the first or second time during the term of the Loans and no monetary Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, instead of applying the required Covenant Prepayment to the Loans, Administrative Agent shall hold such Covenant Prepayment as a cash collateral deposit ("Covenant Deposit") without interest, and the proportionate amount of the Exit Fee otherwise payable with respect thereto will not be payable except as and until provided below. If at any time after Administrative Agent receives a Covenant Deposit, Borrowers satisfy the Debt Yield Covenant (without having to make a Covenant Prepayment and without taking into account the Covenant Deposit) for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters and provided that the Covenant Deposit has not theretofore been applied to the Indebtedness as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the occurrence of a third failure to satisfy the Debt Yield Covenant, the Covenant Deposit shall be returned to Borrowers. The Covenant Deposit, if any, shall be given proforma application to principal balance of the Loans solely for purposes of determining whether an additional amount should be paid to Administrative Agent and added to the Covenant Deposit if the Debt Yield Covenant is not satisfied for a second time. If the Debt Yield Covenant is not satisfied (whether or not a Covenant Prepayment is made) for a third time, then (i) Administrative Agent shall no longer be required to hold any Covenant Prepayments as a Covenant Deposit and all subsequent Covenant Prepayments shall be applied to the principal balance of the Loans and (ii) the Covenant Deposit, if any, shall be applied to the principal balance of the Loans and the proportionate amount of the Exit Fee with respect thereto shall be due and payable within ten (10) calendar days after the date of determination of non-compliance. The Covenant Deposit shall be Collateral. If an Event of Default occurs at any time, the Covenant Deposit may be immediately applied to the Indebtedness in such order as Administrative Agent determines and the Exit Fee shall be due with respect thereto.

(c) Borrowers shall not, and neither shall permit, the Projects or any portion thereof to be converted or take any preliminary actions which could lead to a conversion to condominium or cooperative form or ownership.

(d) All of Borrowers' personal property delivered upon, attached to, used or required to be used in connection with the operation of any Project (collectively, the "FF&E") shall always be located at such Project and except as otherwise permitted herein shall be kept free and clear of all Liens other than the Permitted Liens.

If any insurance proceeds are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Borrower and Administrative Agent jointly, such Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to endorse such Borrower's name thereon and do such other things as Administrative Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its (or their) attorney-in-fact (such appointment is coupled with an interest), at Administrative Agent's option, to make or file proofs of loss or damage and to settle and adjust any claim under insurance policies which insure against such risks, or to direct Borrowers, in writing, to agree with the insurance carrier(s) on the amount to be paid in regard to such loss. Any Casualty Proceeds remaining after repayment of the Obligations shall be paid by Administrative Agent to Borrowers.

-71-

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the damage to the Project does not exceed twelve percent (12%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Project, and so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall be entitled to receive the Casualty Proceeds attributable thereto, provided, however, that Borrowers shall use the Casualty Proceeds to restore or rebuild the Project in all material respects to its condition prior to such casualty or Taking.

Section 11.7 Waivers.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives: (i) presentment, demand and protest, and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all Financing Documents, the Notes or any other notes, commercial paper, accounts, contracts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and Guarantees at any time held by Lenders on which any Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lenders may do in this regard; (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Administrative Agent's or any Lender's taking possession or control of, or to Administrative Agent's or any Lender's replevy, attachment or levy upon, any Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any of its remedies; and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal and exemption Laws. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel of its choices and decisions with respect to this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the transactions evidenced hereby and thereby.

(b) Each Borrower for itself and all endorsers, guarantors and sureties and their heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, (i) agrees that its liability shall not be in any manner affected by any indulgence, extension of time, renewal, waiver, or modification granted or consented to by Lender; (ii) consents to any indulgences and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers, or modifications that may be granted by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the payment or other provisions of the Financing Documents, and to any substitution, exchange or release of the Collateral, or any part thereof, with or without substitution, and agrees to the addition or release of any Borrower, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, or whether primarily or secondarily liable, without notice to any other Borrower and without affecting its liability hereunder; (iii) agrees that its liability shall be unconditional and without regard to the liability of any other Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender for any tax on the indebtedness; and (iv) to the fullest extent permitted by law, expressly waives the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing.

-83-

(c) To the extent that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any requirements or conditions precedent to the closing of the Loans or to any subsequent disbursement of Loan proceeds, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Administrative Agent or any Lender of such requirements with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds and Administrative Agent may at any time after such acquiescence require Borrowers to comply with all such requirements. Any forbearance by Administrative Agent or Lender in exercising any right or remedy under any of the Financing Documents, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, including any failure to accelerate the maturity date of the Loans, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy nor shall it serve as a novation of the Notes or as a reinstatement of the Loans or a waiver of such right of acceleration or the right to insist upon strict compliance of the terms of the Financing Documents. Administrative Agent's or any Lender's acceptance of payment of any sum secured by any of the Financing Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Administrative Agent's and such Lender's right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Administrative Agent as the result of an Event of Default shall not be a waiver of Administrative Agent's right to accelerate the maturity of the Loans, nor shall Administrative Agent's receipt of any condemnation awards, insurance proceeds, or damages under this Agreement operate to cure or waive any Credit Party's default in payment of sums secured by any of the Financing Documents.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, each Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Administrative Agent and Lenders are not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Administrative Agent or Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Administrative Agent or Lenders have exhausted all remedies against the Collateral and any other properties owned by Borrowers and the Financing Documents and other security instruments or agreements securing the Loans have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of Borrowers' obligations under the Financing Documents.

(e) Nothing contained herein or in any other Financing Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent or any Lender to resort to any part of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of Borrowers' obligations under the Financing Documents in preference or priority to any other Collateral, and Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of Borrowers' obligations under the Financing Documents. In addition, Administrative Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon any Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Financing Documents then due and payable as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event any Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Administrative Agent may foreclose upon all or any part of the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Administrative Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loans, Administrative Agent may foreclose all or any part of the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loans as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Financing Documents as Administrative Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, any unforeclosed Collateral shall remain subject to the Financing Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Financing Documents and not previously recovered.

-84-

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral any equitable right otherwise available to any Credit Party which would require the separate sale of the any of the Collateral or require Administrative Agent or Lenders to exhaust their remedies against any part of the Collateral before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure each Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of each part of the Collateral.

Section 11.8 Injunctive Relief.

The parties acknowledge and agree that, for certain Events of Default, Administrative Agent and Lenders may have no adequate remedy in money damages and, accordingly, shall be entitled to an injunction (including without limitation, a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, writ of attachment, or order compelling an audit) against such Events of Default. However, no specification in this Agreement of a specific legal or equitable remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition against any other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement. Each Credit Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the requirement of the posting of any bond in connection with such injunctive relief. By joining in the Financing Documents as a Credit Party, each Credit Party specifically joins in this Section as if this Section were a part of each Financing Documents executed by the Credit Party.

Section 11.9 Marshalling.

Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party, or against or in payment of any of the other Obligations or any other obligation owed to Administrative Agent or Lenders by any Credit Party.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 13.1 Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Financing Documents to which it is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Financing Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 13.16 and to the terms of the other Financing Documents, Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents on behalf of Lenders. The provisions of this Article 13 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any other Credit Party. Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Financing Documents, by or through its agents or employees.

Section 13.2 Administrative Agent and Affiliates.

Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party or Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 13.3 Action by Administrative Agent.

The duties of Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Section 13.4 Consultation with Experts.

Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 13.5 Liability of Administrative Agent.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Financing Documents, except that Administrative Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder but only to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Financing Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Financing Document; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Financing Document; (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Financing Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (e) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Credit Party. Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).

-88-

Section 13.6 Indemnification.

Each Lender shall, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from Administrative Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that Administrative Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder. If any indemnity furnished to Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required Lenders until such additional indemnity is furnished.

Section 13.7 Right to Request and Act on Instructions.

Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Financing Documents Administrative Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Administrative Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable Law or exposes Administrative Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.

-89-

Section 13.8 Credit Decision.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative 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 any action under the Financing Documents.

Section 13.9 Collateral Matters.

Lenders irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to (a) release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Security Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations; (ii) constituting property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any Financing Document (it being understood and agreed that Administrative Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Financing Documents); or (iii) as required by Section 2.12, and (b) release or subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Security Document constituting property described in Section 5.7(b) (it being understood and agreed that Administrative Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the identification of any property described in Section 5.7(b)). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm Administrative Agent's authority to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.9.

Section 13.10 Agency for Perfection.

Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Administrative Agent's security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than Administrative Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Lender shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent's request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Administrative Agent or in accordance with Administrative Agent's instructions or transfer control to Administrative Agent in accordance with Administrative Agent's instructions. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Loans unless instructed to do so by Administrative Agent (or consented to by Administrative Agent, as provided in Section 11.5), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Administrative Agent.

-90-

Section 13.11 Notice of Default.

Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Lenders.

Section 13.12 Successor Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrowers, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, and provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is outstanding, Borrower shall have the right to consent to any such successor Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and notice of such acceptance to the retiring Administrative Agent, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall become immediately effective and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents (if such resignation was not already effective and such duties and obligations not already discharged, as provided below in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed among Borrowers and such successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders (but without any obligation) appoint a successor Administrative Agent, and provided that, if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is outstanding, Borrower shall have the right to consent to any such successor Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably, withheld, conditioned or delayed. From and following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right, upon one (1) Business Days' notice to Borrower Representative and the Lenders, to make its resignation effective immediately. From and following the effectiveness of such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents, and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of any retiring Administrative Agent and its sub-agents after the effectiveness of its resignation hereunder and under the other Financing Documents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting or was continuing to act as Administrative Agent.

-91-

Section 13.13 Payment and Sharing of Payment.

(a) Term Loan Payments. Payments of principal, interest and fees in respect of the Term Loans will be settled on the date of receipt if received by Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of a month or on the Business Day immediately following the date of receipt if received on any day other than the last Business Day of a month.

(b) Return of Payments.

(i) If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from a Borrower and such related payment is not received by Administrative Agent, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, together with interest accruing on a daily basis at the Federal Funds Rate.

(ii) If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to any Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Administrative Agent is required to pay to any Borrower or such other Person, without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(c) Defaulted Lenders. The failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make payment, but neither any other Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulted Lender to make any payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulted Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document or constitute a "Lender" (or be included in the calculation of "Required Lenders" hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Financing Document.

(d) Sharing of Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 2.9) in excess of its pro rata share of payments entitled pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 13.13, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in extensions of credit made by such other Lenders (without recourse, representation or warranty) as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery, without interest. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this clause (d) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 11.5) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this clause (d) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this clause (d) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

-92-

Section 13.14 Right to Perform, Preserve and Protect.

Upon and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Financing Document to be performed at Borrowers' expense. Upon and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent is further authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders to make expenditures from time to time which Administrative Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by Borrowers, the Collateral, or any portion thereof, and/or (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations. Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for any and all costs (which costs shall be reasonable), liabilities and obligations incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.14. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent upon demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 13.14, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.

Section 13.15 Additional Titled Agents.

Except for rights and powers, if any, expressly reserved under this Agreement to any bookrunner, arranger or to any titled agent named on the cover page of this Agreement, other than Administrative Agent (collectively, the "Additional Titled Agents"), and except for obligations, liabilities, duties and responsibilities, if any, expressly assumed under this Agreement by any Additional Titled Agent, no Additional Titled Agent, in such capacity, has any rights, powers, liabilities, duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled Agent shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any time that any Lender serving as an Additional Titled Agent shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any Affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans, such Lender shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Additional Titled Agent.

-93-

Section 13.16 Amendments and Waivers.

In addition to the required signatures under Section 14.5, no provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by the following Persons:

(a) if any amendment, waiver or other modification would increase a Lender's funding obligations in respect of any Term Loan, by such Lender; and/or

(b) if the rights or duties of Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by Administrative Agent;

Provided that, in each of (a) and (b) above, no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed by all the Lenders directly affected thereby, (i) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or any fees with respect to any Loan or forgive any principal, interest (other than default interest) or fees (other than late charges) with respect to any Loan; (ii) postpone the date fixed for, or waive, any payment (other than a payment pursuant to Section 2.1(c) or Section 6.7) of principal of any Loan, or of interest on any Loan (other than default interest) or any fees provided for hereunder (other than late charges) or for any termination of any commitment; (iii) change the definition of the term Required Lenders or the percentage of Lenders which shall be required for Lenders to take any action hereunder; (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, authorize any Borrower to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Guarantor of all or any portion of the Obligations of its Guarantee obligations with respect thereto, except, in each case with respect to this clause (iv), as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents (including in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder); (v) amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section 13.16 or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 13.16 insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Section 13.16; or (vi) consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Financing Document or release any Borrower of its payment obligations under any Financing Document, except, in each case with respect to this clause (vi), pursuant to a merger or consolidation permitted pursuant to this Agreement. It is hereby understood and agreed that all Lenders shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of the preceding sentence.

Section 13.17 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Lender's Loans together with all related obligations of such Lender hereunder. Except as Administrative Agent may otherwise agree, the amount of any such assignment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment Agreement or, if a "Trade Date" is specified in such Assignment Agreement, as of such Trade Date) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the assignor's entire interests in the outstanding Loans; provided, however, that, in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds, such Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignee for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum assignment size referred to above. Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until Administrative Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500; provided, however, that only one processing fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more related Approved Funds.

-94-

(b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent of the interests assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights and obligations hereunder (other than those that survive termination pursuant to Section 14.1). Upon the request of the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent for delivery to the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) Notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Eligible Assignee's Term Loans (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of that portion of the principal amount of the Term Loans retained by the assigning Lender). Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower Representative any prior Note held by it.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.17 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, 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.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.17 or any other provision of this Agreement, Administrative Agent has the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Administrative Agent (the "Settlement Service"). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Section 13.17. Each assigning Lender and proposed Eligible Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans pursuant to the Settlement Service. If so elected by each of Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, Administrative Agent's and the Borrowers' approval of such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loans shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein.

-95-

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a "Participant"). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Lender's obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations hereunder, and (iii) all amounts payable by each Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to (x) any event described in Section 13.16 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders, and (y) the institution or commencement of enforcement remedies. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 11.5.

(f) Within thirty (30) days after: (i) receipt by Administrative Agent of notice and demand from any Lender for payment of additional costs as provided in Section 2.9, which demand shall not have been revoked, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.8, (iii) any Lender is a Defaulted Lender, and the circumstances causing such status shall not have been cured or waived; or (iv) any failure by any Lender to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Financing Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender, or each Lender affected thereby, is required with respect thereto, (each relevant Lender in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being an "Affected Lender") each of Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent may, at its option, notify such Affected Lender and, in the case of Borrowers' election, the Administrative Agent, of such Person's intention to obtain, at Borrowers' expense, a replacement Lender ("Replacement Lender") for such Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee and, in the event the Replacement Lender is to replace an Affected Lender described in the preceding clause (iv), such Replacement Lender consents to the requested amendment, waiver or modification making the replaced Lender an Affected Lender. In the event Borrowers or Administrative Agent, as applicable, obtains a Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following notice of its intention to do so, the Affected Lender shall sell, at par, and assign all of its Loans and funding commitments hereunder to such Replacement Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 14.6(a); provided, however, that (i) Borrowers shall have reimbursed such Lender for its increased costs and additional payments for which it is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2.8 or Section 2.9, as applicable, of this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment and (ii) Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent the $3,500 processing fee in respect of such assignment. In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section 13.17(a) within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section 13.17(f) and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section 13.17(f), such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the terms of such Assignment Agreement, and any such Assignment Agreement executed by Administrative Agent, the Replacement Lender and, to the extent required pursuant to Section 13.17(a), Borrowers, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 13.17(f) and Section 13.17(a). Upon any such assignment and payment, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a "Lender" for purposes hereof, other than with respect to such rights and obligations that survive termination as set forth in Section 14.1.

ARTICLE 15

JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; GUARANTOR PROVISIONS

Section 15.1 Joint and Several Obligations.

(a) Borrowers is defined collectively to include all Persons constituting the Borrowers; provided, however, that any references herein to "any Borrower", "each Borrower" or similar references, shall be construed as a reference to each individual Person comprising the Borrowers. Each Person comprising Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement and the Borrowers under the Affiliated Financing Documents (the "Affiliated Borrowers"), regardless of which of the Borrowers or the Affiliated Borrowers actually receives the proceeds of the indebtedness governed hereby or the benefit of any other extensions of credit hereunder or the benefit of any other extension of credit under the Affiliated Financing Documents, or the manner in which the Borrowers, the Affiliated Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders account therefor in their respective books and records. In addition, each entity comprising Borrowers hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, conditions, agreements and other terms contained in this Agreement shall be applicable to and shall be binding upon and measured and enforceable individually against each Person comprising Borrowers as well as all such Persons when taken together. By way of illustration, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms of Section 11.1 of this Agreement are to be applied to each individual Person comprising the Borrowers (as well as to all such Persons taken as a whole), such that the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 11.1 of this Agreement as to any Person comprising the Borrowers shall constitute an Event of Default even if such event has not occurred as to any other Persons comprising the Borrowers or as to all such Persons taken as a whole (except as otherwise expressly provided therein).

(b) Each Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the business conducted by the other Borrowers and the Affiliated Borrowers because of, inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including without limitation their ability to receive the credit extensions under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and the Affiliated Financing Documents on favorable terms granted by this Agreement and other Financing Documents and the Affiliated Financing Documents which would not have been available to an individual Borrower acting alone. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest to procure the credit facilities contemplated hereunder, with the credit support of the other Borrowers as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and the credit support of the Affiliated Borrowers as contemplated by the Affiliated Financing Documents.

-104-

(c) Administrative Agent and Lenders have advised the Borrowers that each of them is unwilling to enter into this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the Affiliated Financing Documents and make available the credit facilities extended hereby or thereby to any Borrower or Affiliated Borrower unless each Borrower agrees, among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the due and proper payment of the Obligations of each other Borrower under this Agreement and other Financing Documents and of each Affiliated Borrower under the Affiliated Financing Documents. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce the Administrative Agent and Lender to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other documents executed in connection herewith (i) because of the desirability to each Borrower of the credit facilities hereunder and to each Affiliated Borrower of the credit facilities under the Affiliated Financing Documents and the interest rates and the modes of borrowing available hereunder and thereunder, (ii) because each Borrower may engage in transactions jointly with other Borrowers or Affiliated Borrowers, and (iii) because each Borrower may require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes herein set forth. Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the credit facilities contemplated hereunder would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit of all of the Persons constituting the Borrowers and the Affiliated Borrowers, the joint and several liability of all such Persons, and the cross-collateralization of the collateral of all such Persons hereunder and under the Affiliated Financing Documents. Accordingly, each Borrower, individually acknowledges that the benefit to each of the Persons comprising the Borrowers as a whole constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the indebtedness actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of credit provided to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any individual Borrower.

(d) Each Borrower has determined that it is and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Financing Documents and the Affiliated Financing Documents (including, without limitation, the inter-Borrower arrangement set forth in this Section) will be Solvent and has and will have the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection with the conduct of its business as such debts mature and that the value of the benefits to be derived by such Borrower from the access to funds under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the inter-Borrower arrangement set forth in this Section) is reasonably equivalent to the obligations undertaken pursuant hereto.

(e) The Borrower Representative (on behalf of each Borrower) shall maintain records specifying (i) all Obligations incurred by each Borrower, (ii) the date of such incurrence, (iii) the date and amount of any payments made in respect of such Obligations, and (iv) all inter-Borrower obligations pursuant to this Section. The Borrower Representative shall make copies of such records available to the Administrative Agent, upon request.

-105-

(f) To the extent that applicable law otherwise would render the full amount of the joint and several obligations of any Borrower hereunder, under the other Financing Documents and under the Affiliated Financing Documents invalid or unenforceable, such Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and Affiliated Financing Documents shall be limited to the maximum amount which does not result in such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that each Borrower's obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and Affiliated Financing Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this Section were not a part of this Agreement.

(g) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section of all or any of the Obligations (other than credit facilities made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a "Joint Liability Payment") which, taking into account all other Joint Liability Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount which such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Joint Liability Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower's Allocable Amount (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Joint Liability Payments, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments. As of any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

(h) Except as specifically provided in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents, Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from any Borrower or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on all Borrowers. All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of the Obligations as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Obligations of any other Borrower or Affiliated Borrower.

(i) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any obligor or other action to enforce the same; (ii) the waiver or consent by Administrative Agent and/or any applicable Lender(s) with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower or Affiliated Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent and/or any Lender; (iii) failure by Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations; (iv) the institution of any proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a Borrower or Affiliated Borrower or Administrative Agent's or any Lender's election in any such proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (v) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by a Borrower or Affiliated Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the disallowance, under ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Administrative Agent's or any Lender's claim(s) for repayment of any of the Obligations; or (vii) any other circumstance other than payment in full of the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or surety.

-106-

(j) Until all Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full, no payment made by or for the account of a Borrower or Affiliated Borrower including, without limitation, (i) a payment made by such Borrower or Affiliated Borrower on behalf of the liabilities of any other Borrower or Affiliated Borrower, or (ii) a payment made by any other person under any Guarantee, shall entitle such Borrower or Affiliated Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from any other Borrower or Affiliated Borrower or from or out of any other Borrower's or Affiliated Borrower's property and such Borrower or Affiliated Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy against any other Borrower or Affiliated Borrower or any property of any other Borrower or Affiliated Borrower by reason of any performance of such Borrower or Affiliated Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder.

(k) Any notice given by one Borrower hereunder shall constitute and be deemed to be notice given by all Borrowers and Affiliated Borrowers, jointly and severally. Notice given by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any one Borrower or Affiliated Borrower hereunder or pursuant to any Financing Documents or Affiliated Financing Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof shall constitute notice to each and every Borrower and Affiliated Borrower. The knowledge of one Borrower or Affiliated Borrower shall be imputed to all Borrowers and Affiliated Borrowers and any consent by one Borrower or Affiliated Borrower shall constitute the consent of and shall bind all Borrowers and Affiliated Borrower.

(l) This Section is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and Affiliated Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Documents. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the credit facilities made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, Fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

(m) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of each Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. The rights of any indemnifying Borrower against the other Borrowers or Affiliated Borrowers under this Section shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the credit facilities hereunder and under the Affiliated Financing Documents.

-107-

Section 15.2 Guarantor Provisions.

(a) Each Borrower, as joint and several primary obligor of the Obligations directly incurred by any other Borrower or by any Affiliated Borrower, authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders, without giving notice to such Borrower or to any other Borrower or any Affiliated Borrower (to the extent permitted hereunder or under any Affiliated Financing Document) or obtaining such Borrower's consent or any other Borrower's or Affiliated Borrower's consent (to the extent permitted hereunder or under any Affiliated Financing Document) and without affecting the liability of such Borrower for the Obligations directly incurred by the other Borrower or Affiliated Borrower, from time to time to:

(i) compromise, settle, renew, extend the time for payment, change the manner or terms of payment, liquidate, discharge the performance of, decline to enforce, or release all or any of the Obligations; grant other indulgences to any Borrower in respect thereof; or modify in any manner any documents relating to the Obligations;

(ii) declare all Obligations due and payable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default;
