1336346.6

3. Lenders’ Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and in reliance upon the Representations and Warranties, Lenders make the following commitments to Borrower:

3.1.

Revolving Loan Commitments.

3.1.1. Aggregate Amount; Reductions. Subject to the limitations in Section 3.1.2 and elsewhere herein, each Lender commits to make available to Borrower, from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, such Lender’s pro rata share (as listed on Exhibit 3 hereto) of an Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment that is initially $75,000,000, but which may decrease from time to time as provided herein, by funding such Lender’s pro rata share of Revolving Loan Advances made from time to time by Administrative Agent as provided herein. Subject to the limitations in Section 3.1.2 and elsewhere herein, payments and prepayments that are applied to reduce the Aggregate Revolving Loan may be re-borrowed through Revolving Loan Advances. Borrower may also reduce the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment in whole multiples of $1,000,000, at any time and from time to time, but only if (i) Borrower gives Administrative Agent written notice (which may be mailed, personally delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 20.1) or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing in the manner provided in Section 20.1) of Borrower’s intention to make such reduction at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of the reduction, and (ii) Borrower makes on the effective date of the reduction any payment on the Aggregate Revolving Loan required under Section 6.2.2 as a consequence of the reduction. Any such reduction of the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall be permanent. Each Lender’s initial Revolving Loan Commitment is its pro rata share of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Upon any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, each Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment will automatically reduce by such Lender’s pro rata share of the reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

3.1.2. Limitation on Revolving Loan Advances. No Revolving Loan Advance will be made which would result in the Aggregate Revolving Loan exceeding the Maximum Available Amount and no Revolving Loan Advance will be made on or after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Lenders may, however, in their absolute discretion make such Revolving Loan Advances, but shall not be deemed by doing so to have increased the Maximum Available Amount and shall not be obligated to make any such Revolving Loan Advances thereafter. At any time that there is an Existing Default, the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment may be canceled as provided in Section 16.2. The Maximum Available Amount on any date shall be a Dollar amount equal to (i) the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, minus (ii) (a) the Letter of Credit Exposure on such date (except to the extent that such Revolving Loan Advance will be used immediately to reimburse Letter of Credit Issuer for unreimbursed draws on a Letter of Credit) and (b) the Swingline Loan (except to the extent that such Revolving Loan Advance will be used immediately to repay Bank of America for a Swingline Loan).

3.1.3. Revolving Notes. The obligation of Borrower to repay each Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment and otherwise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.3.

1336346.6

3.2.

Swingline Commitment.

3.2.1. Swingline Advances. Subject to the limitations in Section 3.2.2 and elsewhere herein, Bank of America commits to make available to Borrower, from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, a Swingline Commitment that is initially $3,000,000, but which may decrease from time to time as provided herein, by funding Swingline Advances made from time to time by Bank of America as provided herein. Subject to the limitations in Section 3.2.2 and elsewhere herein, payments and prepayments that are applied to reduce the Swingline Loan may be re-borrowed through Swingline Advances. The Swingline Commitment shall terminate automatically if the Required Lenders terminate the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment; Bank of America, in its sole discretion, may terminate the foregoing Swingline Commitment at any time from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in writing.

3.2.2. Limitations on Swingline Advances. No Swingline Advance will be made on or after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and no Swingline Advance will be made which would result in the Swingline Loan exceeding the Swingline Maximum Available Amount. The Swingline Maximum Available Amount on any date shall be a Dollar amount equal to the lesser of (i) $3,000,000, or (ii) an amount equal to the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment minus the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Loan and the Letter of Credit Exposure immediately prior to the making of such Swingline Advance.

3.2.3. Swingline Note. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Swingline Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the order of Bank of America in a maximum principal amount equal to the Swingline Commitment and otherwise in a form satisfactory to Bank of America.

3.2.4. Swingline Documents. To the extent that any of the terms or provisions of the Swingline Documents are in conflict with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (other than the Swingline Documents), the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than the Swingline Documents) shall govern and control in all respects.

3.2.5. Swingline Loan. Bank of America shall be permitted to take all actions, or omit to take any actions, with respect to the Swingline Loan, including, without limitation, acceleration of the Swingline Loan, the termination of the Swingline Commitment, or imposition of the Default Rate with respect to the Swingline Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, the Swingline Documents and applicable Law, in each case, without the consent of, or notice to, Administrative Agent or any other Lender, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary; provided, however, that Bank of America may not increase the Swingline Commitment or impose the Default Rate on the Swingline Loan without the prior consent of the Required Lenders. The amount of the Swingline Commitment may be changed at the sole discretion of Bank of America (or its assignee) without the consent of the other Lenders or Administrative Agent. Bank of America will use its reasonable efforts to give notice to the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent of any change in the amount of the Swingline Commitment, termination of the Swingline Commitment or acceleration of the Swingline Loan, but the failure to give any such notice, unless intentional, shall not result in any liability to Bank of America.

1336346.6

3.3. Letter of Credit Commitment. Bank of America commits to issue standby letters of credit and commercial (documentary) letters of credit for the account of Borrower from time to time from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, but only if the Letter of Credit Exposure will not as a result of such issuance exceed the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 and (ii) any excess of the Maximum Available Amount over the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Loan and the Swingline Loan. The expiration date of any Letter of Credit will be a Business Day that is not more than one year after its issuance date and is not later than the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The outstanding letters of credit listed on Exhibit 3.3 previously issued by Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Letter of Credit Commitment. Immediately upon the issuance or deemed issuance by Letter of Credit Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender, and such other Lender shall be deemed to have purchased and received from Letter of Credit Issuer, a pro rata undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit, the reimbursement obligation of Borrower with respect thereto, and any guaranty thereof or collateral therefor. Each such other Lender’s pro rata undivided interest shall be the same as its pro rata share of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Upon the request of Administrative Agent, if, as of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then existing Letter of Credit Exposure in an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Exposure determined as of the date of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Letter of Credit Issuer and Lenders, as collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Derivatives of the term “Cash Collateralize” have corresponding meanings. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Letter of Credit Issuer and Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash collateral shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at Bank of America. For purposes of computing the Letter of Credit Exposure to be Cash Collateralized hereunder, the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Issuer document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the face or stated amout thereof, shall be deemed to be the maximum face or stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time, less the amount of all prior draws thereunder that have been reimbursed in full by Borrower.

4.	Interest.

4.1. Interest on Draws on Letters of Credit. The unreimbursed amount of each draw on a Letter of Credit shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate.

4.2. Interest on the Swingline Loan. The entire Swingline Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.

4.3. Interest on Aggregate Revolving Loan. Except with respect to Swingline Advances, Borrower may, as provided in Section 7, designate the whole of an Advance or any part of an Advance to be either a Base Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Advance; provided, however, during the existence of an Existing Default, Borrower may not designate an Advance or part of an Advance as a Eurodollar Advance. Each Base Rate Advance when made will become a Base Rate Loan, which shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance when made will become a Eurodollar Loan, which shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate.

1336346.6

Borrower may also, as provided herein, convert some or all of a Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan and some or all of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan. For each Eurodollar Loan, Borrower shall select an Interest Period as provided in Section 4.7. A Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate throughout the applicable Interest Period designated by Borrower.

4.4. Adjusted Base Rate; Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. The Adjusted Base Rate for any Base Rate Loan shall be the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Increment determined from the table in Section 4.5. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Loan shall be the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable Eurodollar Increment determined from the table in Section 4.5.

4.5. Base Rate Increments; Eurodollar Increments; Revolving Loan Commitment Fee. The Base Rate Increment and Eurodollar Increment for each Loan shall be determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with the following table and based upon the ratio of Borrower's Funded Indebtedness (as defined in Section 15.1) to Borrower's Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Section 15.1)).

If the ratio of Borrower’s Total Funded Indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA is:	The Eurodollar Increment shall be:	The Base Rate Increment shall be:	Revolving Loan Commitment Fee (per annum)
Greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00	1.50%	0.00%	0.15%
Greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1 but less than 2.00 to 1.00	1.25%	0.00%	0.15%
Greater than or equal to 1.00 to 1.00 but less than 1.50 to 1.00	1.00%	0.00%	0.125%
Less than 1.00 to 1	0.75%	0.00%	0.125%

The initial Base Rate Increment, Eurodollar Increment and Revolving Loan Commitment Fee, effective as of the Effective Date, shall be 0.00%, 0.75%, and .125% respectively. Thereafter, the applicable Base Rate Increment and Eurodollar Increment shall be re-determined by Administrative Agent promptly after each delivery by Borrower to Administrative Agent of Borrower’s Financial Statements for each fiscal quarter of Borrower (and accompanying Compliance Certificate) as required in Section 13.13.2 and will become applicable on the second day following the day when Borrower delivers such Financial Statements (and accompanying Compliance Certificate) to Administrative Agent. If Borrower does not deliver such Financial Statements (and accompanying Compliance Certificate) to Administrative Agent within the time period required by Section 13.13.2, then from the date such Financial Statements were required to be delivered until the date of such delivery, the highest possible Base Rate Increment and Eurodollar Increment shall become applicable and shall remain applicable until Borrower delivers such Financial Statements (and accompanying Compliance Certificate) to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent determines the correct Base Rate Increment and Eurodollar Increment. The Eurodollar Rate for each Eurodollar Loan shall be determined by Administrative Agent before the beginning of the applicable Interest Period and shall apply throughout such Interest Period.

4.6. Conversion of Loans. Borrower may (i) as of any Business Day convert some or all of a Base Rate Loan (other than the Swingline Loan) to a Eurodollar Loan, or (ii) at the end of any Interest Period of a Eurodollar Loan, continue the Loan as a Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period or convert some or all of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan; provided however, that if there is an Existing Default, Borrower may not convert a Base Rate Loan to a

1336346.6

Eurodollar Loan or continue a Eurodollar Loan for an additional Interest Period. The Swingline Loan may not be converted from a Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan. To cause any conversion or continuation, Borrower shall give Administrative Agent, prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) three Business Days prior to the date the conversion or continuation is to be effective in the case of a Eurodollar Loan or on the same Business Day the conversion or continuation is to be effective with respect to the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan or continuation of a Base Rate Loan, a written request (which may be mailed, personally delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 20.1) or telephonic request (promptly confirmed in writing in the manner provided in Section 20.1) (i) specifying whether a conversion or continuation is requested, (ii) in the case of a conversion, specifying the amount to be converted and whether it is to be a Eurodollar Loan or a Base Rate Loan upon the conversion, and (iii) in the case of any conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan, specifying the Interest Period therefor. If such notice is not given prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the third Business Day preceding the last day of the Interest Period of a Eurodollar Loan, then Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a notice to Administrative Agent requesting to convert all of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, any conversion or continuation shall become effective on the day following the last day of the current Interest Period.

4.7. Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans. For each Eurodollar Loan, Borrower shall select an Interest Period that is either one, two, three or six months; provided that:

(i) every such Interest Period shall commence on the date of such Advance or on the date of the conversion or continuation of any Loan as a Eurodollar Loan;

(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day of a calendar month which is not a Business Day, then such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day in that calendar month; provided, however, that if the next succeeding Business Day would be in the following calendar month, it shall expire on the first preceding Business Day;

(iii) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; and

(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

4.8. Time of Accrual. Interest shall accrue on all principal amounts outstanding from the date when first outstanding to the date when no longer outstanding. Amounts shall be deemed outstanding until payments are applied thereto as provided herein.

4.9. Computation. Interest shall be computed for the actual days elapsed over a year deemed to consist of 360 days for all Eurodollar Loans and 365 or 366 days, as applicable, for all Base Rate Loans. Interest rates that are based on the Base Rate shall change simultaneously with any change in the Base Rate and shall be effective for the entire day on which such change becomes effective. The Base Rate will be determined by Administrative Agent before the initial Advance on the Effective Date and on each Business Day thereafter when the Base Rate changes.

4.10. Rate After Maturity. Borrower shall pay interest on the Aggregate Revolving Loan, the Swingline Loan and on the other Loan Obligations after their Maturity, and, at the option of Required Lenders, on the Aggregate Revolving Loan, the Swingline Loan and on the principal

1336346.6

amount of the other Loan Obligations and (to the extent permitted by Law) accrued and unpaid interest, after the occurrence of an Event of Default (and notice from Administrative Agent that the Default Rate is in effect) until it has been cured by Borrower or waived in writing as permitted herein, at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% plus the interest rate otherwise in effect hereunder.

Fees.

5.1. Revolving Loan Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders a non-refundable, recurring Revolving Loan Commitment Fee calculated by applying the daily equivalent of an annual rate equal to the applicable Revolving Loan Commitment Fee specified in the table in Section 4.5 to the Unused Revolving Loan Commitment on each day during the period from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Unused Revolving Loan Commitment on any day shall be the difference between (i) the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and (ii) the sum of (a) the Aggregate Revolving Loan, and (b) the Letter of Credit Exposure. The Revolving Loan Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears commencing on the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the Effective Date and continuing on the first day of each quarter thereafter and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

5.2. Standby Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Letter of Credit Issuer and each other Lender, a non-refundable recurring Standby Letter of Credit Fee for each standby Letter of Credit issued by Letter of Credit Issuer. The Standby Letter of Credit Fee for any standby Letter of Credit shall be an amount equal to the greater of (i) $300 and (ii) an annual amount determined by applying the quarterly equivalent of the then applicable Eurodollar Increment to the aggregate undrawn amount of such standby Letter of Credit. The Standby Letter of Credit Fee for each standby Letter of Credit shall be payable quarterly in arrears, commencing on the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the Effective Date and continuing on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter until the earlier of its expiration or the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Standby Letter of Credit Fee will be distributed by Administrative Agent to Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with their pro rata shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

5.3. Commercial Letter of Credit Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of Letter of Credit Issuer and each other Lender a non-refundable, recurring Commercial Letter of Credit Fee for each commercial Letter of Credit issued by Letter of Credit Issuer that is equal to .25% of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such commercial Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration. Such Commercial Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable quarterly, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (for the immediately preceding quarter or portion thereof), until the earlier of its expiration or the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The Commercial Letter of Credit Fee will be distributed by Administrative Agent to Lenders in accordance with their pro rata shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment.

5.4. Letter of Credit Fronting Fee. Borrower shall pay to Letter of Credit Issuer a non-refundable, one-time Fronting Fee equal to the greater of (i) $75, plus .125% of the undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit issued by Letter of Credit Issuer, and (ii) $300, as of its issuance date.

5.5. Other Letter of Credit Fees. Borrower shall pay to Letter of Credit Issuer such Letter of Credit Issuer’s other customary fees for issuance, amendment or renewal of a Letter of Credit

1336346.6

and, as Letter of Credit Issuer and Borrower may agree with respect to each Letter of Credit, for each negotiation of a draft drawn under such Letter of Credit.

5.6.

Calculation of Letter of Credit Feees.

For purposes of computing the amount of any fee on any Letter or Credit under this Section 5, the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Issuer document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the face or stated amout thereof, shall be deemed to be the maximum face or stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time, less the amount of all prior draws thereunder that have been reimbursed in full by Borrower.

5.7. Calculation of Fees. All of the foregoing fees and all other fees payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender that are based on an annual percentage shall be calculated on the basis of a year deemed to consist of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed.

6.	Payments.

6.1.

Scheduled Payments on Aggregate Revolving Loan and Swingline Loan.

6.1.1. Interest. Borrower shall pay interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan included in the Aggregate Revolving Loan and on the Swingline Loan quarterly in arrears beginning on the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning after the Effective Date and continuing on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter, and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay interest accrued on each Eurodollar Loan included in the Aggregate Revolving Loan at the end of its Interest Period and, in addition, for each such Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period longer than 90 days, Borrower shall pay interest accrued thereon quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter during such Interest Period. Borrower shall pay interest accrued on each Revolving Loan and the Swingline Loan after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date on demand.

6.1.2. Principal; Maturity. Borrower shall repay the entire amount of the Aggregate Revolving Loan as then outstanding on April 15, 2010, and Borrower shall repay the entire amount of the Swingline Loan on the same Business Day as demand therefore, or if no demand is made, on April 15, 2010; provided, however, that if demand for payment of the Swingline Loan is made after 11:00 (Local Time) on any day (except for demand made under Section 16.2.2 or as a result of Bank of America’s termination of the Swingline Commitment), payment shall be made thereon by Borrower on the following Business Day.

6.2.

Prepayments.

6.2.1. Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to the limitations in the following sentences, Borrower may at any time wholly prepay the Swingline Loan and any Base Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan that is included in the Aggregate Revolving Loan and may make partial prepayments thereon from time to time, without penalty or premium (except as provided in clause (iv) below), but only if (i) Borrower gives Administrative Agent written notice (which may be mailed, personally delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 20.1) or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing in the manner provided in Section 20.1) of Borrower’s intention to make such prepayment at least two Business Days prior to tendering such prepayment in the case of a Eurodollar Loan and on the same Business

1336346.6

Day of the tender of such prepayment in the case of a Base Rate Loan, (ii) the amount of such prepayment is at least $100,000, and over that amount, is a whole multiple of $50,000, (iii) Borrower pays any accrued interest on the amount prepaid at the time of such prepayment, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, and (iv) Borrower pays any amount that is due under Section 18.4 as a consequence of the prepayment. All such prepayments (other than prepayments on the Swingline Loan) shall be applied by Lenders to reduce the Revolving Loans in accordance with their respective pro rata shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. All prepayments on the Swingline Loan shall be applied by Bank of America to reduce the Swingline Loan.

6.2.2.

Mandatory Prepayments When Over-Advances Exist.

6.2.2.1. Aggregate Revolving Loan. If at any time the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Loan exceeds the Maximum Available Amount, whether as a result of optional Revolving Loan Advances by Lenders as contemplated by Section 3.1.2, Swingline Advances or otherwise, Borrower shall on demand make a payment in the amount of the excess to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders on the Aggregate Revolving Loan. Each such prepayment will be applied by Administrative Agent and Lenders first to reduce the Base Rate Loans that are included in the Aggregate Revolving Loan (and consequently a ratable portion of each Lender’s Revolving Loan) until they are reduced to zero and then to reduce the Eurodollar Loans that are included in the Aggregate Revolving Loan (and consequently a ratable portion of each Lender’s Revolving Loan). Borrower shall pay any amount that is due under Section 18.4 as a consequence of such mandatory prepayment.

6.2.2.2. Swingline Loan. If at any time the Swingline Loan exceeds the Swingline Maximum Available Amount, Borrower shall on demand make a payment in the amount of the excess to Bank of America. Anything to the contrary in Section 7.4 notwithstanding, no Lender shall at any time have any obligation to remit funds to Bank of America to pay the amount of any excess of the Swingline Loan over the Swingline Maximum Available Amount.

6.3. Reimbursement Obligations of Borrower. Borrower hereby unconditionally agrees to immediately pay to Letter of Credit Issuer on demand at the Letter of Credit Issuer's Applicable Lending Office all amounts required to pay all drafts drawn under Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrower and all reasonable expenses incurred by Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such Letters of Credit and in any event and without demand to remit to Letter of Credit Issuer (which may be through obtaining Advances if permitted under Section 3.1.2) sufficient funds to pay all debts and liabilities arising under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of Borrower; provided, however, that if demand for payment of any draft drawn under any Letter of Credit is made after 11:00 (Local Time) on any day (except for demand made under Section 16.2.2), payment thereof shall be made by Borrower on the following Business Day.

6.4.

Manner of Payments and Timing of Application of Payments.

6.4.1. Payment Requirement. Unless expressly provided to the contrary elsewhere herein, Borrower shall make each payment on the Loan Obligations to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders as required under the Loan Documents at Administrative Agent’s Applicable Lending Office on the date when due, without deduction, setoff or counterclaim. All such payments will be distributed by

1336346.6

Administrative Agent to Lenders as provided in Section 17.10 for application to the Loan Obligations as provided herein.

6.4.2. Application of Payments and Proceeds. All payments received by Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at or before 12:00 noon (Local Time) on a Business Day will be distributed by Administrative Agent to Lenders as provided in Section 17.10 on the same Business Day. Such payments received on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 noon (Local Time) on a Business Day will be distributed by Administrative Agent to Lenders as provided in Section 17.10 on the next Business Day. The amount so distributed to a Lender will be applied by such Lender to the relevant Loan Obligation on the Business Day when received.

6.4.3. Interest Calculation. Section 6.4.2 notwithstanding, for purposes of interest calculation only, (i) a payment by check, draft or other instrument received at or before 12:00 noon (Local Time) on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the second following Business Day, (ii) a payment by check, draft or other instrument received on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 noon on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the third following Business Day, (iii) a payment in cash (including by way of debit to an account of Borrower with Administrative Agent) or by wire transfer received at or before 12:00 noon (Local Time) on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the Business Day when it is received, and (iv) a payment in cash (including by way of debit to an account of Borrower with Administrative Agent) or by wire transfer received on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 noon (Local Time) on a Business Day shall be deemed to have been applied to the relevant Loan Obligation on the next Business Day.

6.5. Returned Instruments. If a payment is made by check, draft or other instrument and the check, draft or other instrument is returned unpaid, any application of the payment to the Loan Obligations will be reversed and will be treated as never having been made.

6.6. Compelled Return of Payments or Proceeds. If Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender any payment because such payment is for any reason invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, or determined to be void or voidable as a preference, an impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, then this Agreement and the Loan Obligations to which such payment or proceeds was applied or intended to be applied shall be revived as if such application was never made; and Borrower shall be liable to pay to Administrative Agent or such Lender, and shall indemnify Administrative Agent or such Lender for and hold Administrative Agent or such Lender harmless from any actual loss with respect to, the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. This Section shall be effective notwithstanding any contrary action that Administrative Agent or such Lender may take in reliance upon its receipt of any such payment or proceeds. Any such contrary action so taken by Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be without prejudice to Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon the application of such payment or proceeds having become final and indefeasible. The provisions of this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the expiration of the Letters of Credit and the payment and satisfaction of all of the Loan Obligations.

6.7. Due Dates Not on Business Days. If any payment required hereunder becomes due on a date that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be deemed automatically extended to the next Business Day.

1336346.6

7.	Procedure for Obtaining Advances and Letters of Credit.

7.1. Initial Advances. Provided that all conditions thereto hereunder are satisfied and subject to the limitations contained herein, Lenders will fund and Administrative Agent will make the initial Revolving Loan Advance on the Effective Date in immediately available funds in Dollars as directed by Borrower in a written direction delivered to Administrative Agent.

7.2. Subsequent Revolving Loan Advances. Borrower may request a subsequent Revolving Loan Advance at any time, but not more often than once each Business Day, by submitting a request therefor to Administrative Agent as provided in Section 7.13. Every request for an Revolving Loan Advance shall be irrevocable. A request for a Revolving Loan Advance received by Administrative Agent on a day that is not a Business Day or that is received by Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day shall be treated as having been received by Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the next Business Day.

7.3. Swingline Advances. Swingline Advances will be made to Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Swingline Documents and Bank of America’s standard procedures for autoborrow arrangements (to the extent such procedures do not conflict with the terms of this Agreement and the Swingline Documents), as such documents and procedures may change from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Swingline Documents.

7.4.

Repayment of the Swingline Loan.

7.4.1. Bank of America shall once each week (or after an Event of Default, if Bank of America in its sole discretion has not terminated the Swingline Commitment, as often as Bank of America may in its absolute discretion determine) give notice to Lenders of the amount of the Swingline Loan after application of all payments to be applied thereto as provided elsewhere herein. Such notice shall be given no later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on any Business Day and shall include a demand that the Swingline Loan be fully paid. Prior to 3:00 p.m. (Local Time) on such date, Lenders shall remit funds to Bank of America sufficient to reduce the Swingline Loan to zero; provided, however, that no Lender will be required to remit funds to the extent such remittance would cause such Lender’s Revolving Loan to exceed such Lender’s pro rata share of the Maximum Available Amount, and in such event, such Lender shall remit only so much of the requested funds as would cause such Lender’s Revolving Loan to equal such Lender’s pro rata share of the Maximum Available Amount. The aggregate of such remittances shall be treated as a Revolving Loan Advance and the Aggregate Revolving Loan increased accordingly; each such Revolving Advance shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Advance. Each such remittance by a Lender shall be made in accordance with its pro rata share of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and shall be made notwithstanding that (i) the amount of the aggregate of such remittances by Lenders may not be in the minimum amount for Revolving Loan Advances otherwise required hereunder, (ii) any conditions to Advances in Section 9 may not be then satisfied, (iii) there is an Existing Default, or (iv) such remittances by Lenders may be made after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Swingline Loan is repaid by Lenders upon the demand or request of Bank of America, and the Borrower is thereby deemed to have received the proceeds of a Revolving Loan Advance, for the date such Revolving Loan Advance is deemed to have been made, Borrower shall only pay interest on the amount of the Revolving Loan Advance (and not on the amount of the Swingline Loan so

1336346.6

repaid, irrespective of the time of day Bank of America makes demand for such payment).

7.4.2. If for any reason, including the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy with respect to Borrower, remittances by Lenders as provided above cannot be made on the date otherwise required above, then each Lender shall be deemed automatically to have purchased from Bank of America as of such date a pro rata undivided interest and participation in the Swingline Loan so as to cause such Lender to share in the Swingline Loan in accordance with its pro rata share of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Each Lender shall remit its pro rata share of the Swingline Loan to Bank of America promptly on demand. All interest payable with respect to such Lender’s pro rata share of the Swingline Loan shall be for the account of Bank of America to the date such remittance is made, and shall be for the account of and remitted by Bank of America to such Lender as a participant from such date. Further, until such remittance is made, such Lender shall pay to Bank of America, on demand, interest on such Lender’s pro rata share of the Swingline Loan at the Federal Funds Rate.

7.5. Administrative Agent’s Right to Make Other Revolving Loan Advances -- Payment of Loan Obligations. With the prior approval of Required Lenders in each instance, Administrative Agent shall have the right to make Revolving Loan Advances at any time and from time to time to cause timely payment when due of any of the Loan Obligations; provided, however, that no Lender will be required to remit funds in an amount which would cause such Lender’s Revolving Loan to exceed such Lender’s pro rata share of the Maximum Available Amount. Administrative Agent may select the Advance Date for any such Revolving Loan Advance, but such Advance Date may only be a Business Day. Administrative Agent will give notice to Borrower after any such Revolving Loan Advance is made. Any such Revolving Loan Advance will initially be a Base Rate Advance.

7.6. Letters of Credit. Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit by submitting an issuance request to Letter of Credit Issuer and executing the application/reimbursement agreement required under Section 10.1 no less than five Business Days prior to the requested issue date for such Letter of Credit.

7.7.

Fundings.

7.7.1. Revolving Loan Advances. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of the Advance to be made on an Advance Date. Each Lender shall make immediately available to Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Advance Date funds consisting solely of Dollars in the amount of its pro rata share of such Advance, rounded to the nearest ▇▇▇▇▇, in accordance with such remittance instructions as may be given by Administrative Agent to Lenders from time to time.

7.7.2. Draws on Letters of Credit. In the event that a draw is made on a Letter of Credit and Borrower does not reimburse the amount of such draw in full to Letter of Credit Issuer immediately on demand, Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such failure. Upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of such notice from Letter of Credit Issuer, Administrative Agent may notify each Lender thereof and shall have the right to cause a Revolving Loan Advance to be made, regardless whether such Revolving Loan Advance would result in the Aggregate Revolving Loan exceeding the Maximum Available Amount, by notifying each Lender of the draw, the amount of the Revolving Loan Advance required to fund reimbursement of such draw, and the

1336346.6

amount of such Lender’s ratable share of such Revolving Loan Advance. Unless otherwise agreed by Lenders, the Advance Date and time for such Revolving Loan Advance shall not be later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the first Business Day following Administrative Agent’s delivery of such notice to Lenders. By no later than such Advance Date and time, each Lender shall make immediately available to Administrative Agent funds consisting solely of Dollars in the amount of its pro rata share of such Revolving Loan Advance, rounded to the nearest ▇▇▇▇▇, in accordance with such remittance instructions as may be given by Administrative Agent to each Lender from time to time. Each Revolving Loan Advance made by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.7.2 shall initially be a Base Rate Advance. Administrative Agent will give notice to Borrower after any such Revolving Loan Advance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any unreimbursed draw on a Letter of Credit is repaid by Lenders upon the demand or request of Bank of America, and the Borrower is thereby deemed to have received the proceeds of a Revolving Loan Advance, for the date such Revolving Loan Advance is deemed to have been made, Borrower shall only pay interest on the amount of the Revolving Loan Advance (and not on the amount of the unreimbursed Letter of Credit draw so repaid, irrespective of the time of day Bank of America makes demand for such payment).

7.7.3. All Fundings Ratable. All fundings of Advances (other than Swingline Advances) shall be made by Lenders as provided herein in accordance with their pro rata shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, a Lender shall not be obligated to fund Revolving Loan Advances that would result in the sum of (a) such Lender’s Revolving Loan, plus (b) such Lender’s pro rata share of the Letter of Credit Exposure exceeding its Revolving Loan Commitment, or make available any more than its pro rata share of any Advance.

7.8.

Administrative Agent’s Availability Assumptions.

7.8.1. Unless Administrative Agent has been given written notice by a Lender prior to an Advance Date that such Lender does not intend to make immediately available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share of the Advance which Administrative Agent will be obligated to make on the Advance Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made the required amount available to Administrative Agent on the Advance Date and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such required amount is not in fact made immediately available to Administrative Agent by such Lender on the Advance Date, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount immediately upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the other Lenders and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover, either from such defaulting Lender or Borrower, interest on such corresponding amount for each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the cost to Administrative Agent of funding such amount at the Federal Funds Rate, or (ii) if paid by Borrower, the applicable rate for the Advance in question determined from the request therefor (without duplication of any interest accruing thereon under any other provision of this Agreement). Each Lender shall be obligated

1336346.6

only to fund its pro rata share of an Advance subject to the terms and conditions hereof, regardless of the failure of another Lender to fund its pro rata share thereof.

7.8.2. Unless Administrative Agent has been given written notice by Borrower prior to the date any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has timely remitted such payment and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available a corresponding amount or pro rata portion thereof to the Persons entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact remitted to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then, each Lender shall immediately on demand repay to Administrative Agent the corresponding amount or pro rata portion thereof made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

7.9. Disbursement. Provided that all conditions precedent herein to a requested Advance have been satisfied, Administrative Agent will make the amount of such requested Advance available to Borrower on the applicable Advance Date in immediately available funds in Dollars at Administrative Agent’s Applicable Lending Office.

7.10. Restrictions on Advances. No Eurodollar Advance will be made unless it is at least $250,000, and, over that amount, unless it is a whole multiple of $100,000. No Base Rate Advance will be made unless it is a whole multiple of $100,000 and at least $100,000. No more than one Revolving Loan Advance will be made on any one day pursuant to a request for a Revolving Loan Advance. No more than one Swingline Advance will be made on any day. Advances will only be made for the purposes permitted in Section 13.1. No Eurodollar Advance will be made so long as there is any Existing Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swingline Documents will govern whether there are any minimum advance amount requirements for Swingline Advances.

7.11. Restriction on Number of Eurodollar Loans. No more than 8 Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods may be outstanding at any one time.

7.12. Each Advance Request and Letter of Credit Request a Certification. Each submittal of a request for an Advance and each submittal of a request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit by a Borrowing Representative shall constitute a certification by Borrower that (i) there is no Existing Default, (ii) all conditions precedent hereunder to the making of the requested Advance or issuance of the requested Letter of Credit have been satisfied, and (iii) the Representations and Warranties are then true, with such exceptions as have been disclosed to Lenders in writing by Borrower or a Guarantor from time to time and are satisfactory to Lenders, and will be true on the Advance Date or issuance date, as applicable, as if then made with such exceptions.

7.13. Requirements for Every Advance Request. Only a written request (which shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7.13 and mailed, personally delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 20.1) or a telephonic request (promptly confirmed in writing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7.13 in the manner provided in Section 20.1) from a Borrowing Representative to Administrative Agent that specifies the amount of the Advance to be made, the Advance Date for the requested Advance, the portion of the Advance which is requested to be a Eurodollar Advance and the portion of the Advance which is requested to be a Base Rate Advance, and the Interest Period to be applicable to the Eurodollar Loan that will result from a requested Eurodollar Advance, shall be treated as a request for an Advance. No Advance Date for any requested

1336346.6

Advance may be other than a Business Day. A request for a Eurodollar Advance must be given prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) at least two Business Days prior to the Advance Date for such Eurodollar Advance. A request for a Base Rate Advance must be given prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the Advance Date for such Base Rate Advance; provided, however, that with respect to any Advance to be made on the Effective Date, the request for such Advance shall be delivered to Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the Effective Date and such Advance must be a Base Rate Advance only.

7.14. Requirements for Every Letter of Credit Request. Only a written request (which may be mailed, personally delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 20.1) from a Borrowing Representative to Administrative Agent or an electronic initiation over an online service provided by Letter of Credit Issuer that specifies the amount, requested issue date (which shall be a Business Day and in no event later than 30 Business Days before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) and beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit and other information necessary for its issuance shall be treated as a request for issuance of a Letter of Credit.

7.15. Exoneration of Administrative Agent and Lenders. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Borrower for treating a request that meets the express requirements of Section 7.13 or Section 7.14 as a request for an Advance or issuance of a Letter of Credit, as applicable, if Administrative Agent believes in good faith that the Person making the request is a Borrowing Representative or if, in the case of a request for a Letter of Credit, it is electronically initiated. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Borrower for failing to treat any such request as a request for an Advance or issuance of a Letter of Credit, as applicable, if Administrative Agent believes in good faith that the Person making the request is not a Borrowing Representative.

8. Guaranties. Borrower shall on or before the Effective Date cause to be executed and delivered to Administrative Agent an amended and restated unconditional guaranty of the Loan Obligations by each Person listed on Exhibit 8 (which Persons constitute all of the Domestic Subsidiaries of Borrower as of the Execution Date) pursuant to a guaranty satisfactory to Lenders.

In addition, if any Domestic Subsidiary is acquired, created or organized after the Execution Date, Borrower shall, contemporaneously with the acquisition, creation or organization of such a Subsidiary (but in no event later than 60 days after such acquisition, creation or organization), cause to be executed and delivered by such Subsidiary an unconditional guaranty of the Loan Obligations in substantially the form of an existing Guaranty and containing a joinder to the Contribution Agreement (or, at the option of Administrative Agent, a joinder to an existing Guaranty and the Contribution Agreement), along with, if such Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary, the following items: (i) the Charter Documents of such Material Subsidiary; (ii) copies of all consents, licenses and approvals required in connection with the execution, performance, and enforceability of the Guaranty or joinder by such Material Subsidiary, (iii) a secretary’s or members’ certificate for such Material Subsidiary (certifying resolutions authorizing the execution, performance and delivery of such Guaranty or joinder, Charter Documents and incumbency of officers to sign such Guaranty or joinder); (iv) good standing certificates for such Material Subsidiary from the jurisdiction of its organization and each jurisdiction where the nature of extent of its business requires it to be qualified to do business; (v) a legal opinion of counsel to such Material Subsidiary in form acceptable to Administrative Agent, (vi) evidence of insurance for such Material Subsidiary in the form required by this Agreement. The failure to deliver to Administrative Agent such Guaranty (or joinder to an existing Guaranty) or, in the case of any Material Subsidiary, any other item required by this Section within the time period set forth in this Section will cause an immediate Event of Default. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the to-be-formed entity contemplated in Section 14.1.10 will not be required to execute a Guaranty even if such entity is a Domestic Subsidiary.

1336346.6

1336346.6

11.7. Labor Contracts and Disputes.

No notice or report under any Environmental Law indicating a past or present spill or release into the environment of any Hazardous Material has been filed within the four years ending on the Execution Date, or is required to be filed, by any Covered Person, except for notices and reports of spills and releases which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of any of the outstanding voting securities (or warrants or options therefor) of such Person or otherwise directs or has the power to direct the day-to-day control of such Person; or

(iii) The execution by any Covered Person of any letter of intent or written agreement with respect to any proposed transaction or event or series of transactions or events that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in any of the actions set forth in either of subsections (i) or (ii) of this Section 16.1.16 (except for any such letter of intent or written agreement, the effectiveness of which is conditioned upon receiving the consent of the Required Lenders).

16.1.17. Delivery of Post-Closing Items. Any Covered Person fails to deliver to Administrative Agent any document or other item listed or described on Exhibit 9.1.1 as being delivered or executed after the Execution Date (with each being satisfactory to Administrative Agent and (as applicable) duly executed and (also as applicable) sealed, attested, acknowledged, certified, or authenticated) within the time period set forth for the delivery of such document or other item on Exhibit 9.1.1.

16.2.

Rights and Remedies.

16.2.1. Termination of Commitments. Upon an Event of Default described in Section 16.1.9, the Commitments shall be deemed canceled. From and after the occurrence of any other Event of Default that has not been waived in writing, Required Lenders may cancel the Commitments; provided, however, from and after the occurrence of any such other Event of Default that has not been waived in writing, Bank of America may cancel the Swingline Commitment without the consent of the Required Lenders; provided further, however, that any termination of the Revolving Commitment by Required Lenders will result in the immediate termination of the Swingline Commitment. Any such cancellation may be, in either case, without presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which Borrower expressly waives.

16.2.2. Acceleration. Upon an Event of Default described in Section 16.1.9, all of the outstanding Loan Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable. From and after the occurrence of any other Event of Default that has not been waived in writing, Required Lenders may declare all of the outstanding Loan Obligations immediately due and payable; provided, however, from and after the occurrence of any such other Event of Default that has not been waived in writing, Bank of America may declare the Swingline Loan immediately due and payable without the consent of the Required Lenders. Such acceleration may be, in either case, without presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which Borrower expressly waives.

16.2.3.

Right of Setoff.

16.2.3.1. In General. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been waived in writing, each Lender is hereby authorized, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower), to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to setoff and apply against the Loan Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, or any other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender (or its Affiliate) to or for the credit or the account of

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.6

Borrower, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or the Notes or any Guaranty and although such Loan Obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender may otherwise have.

16.2.3.2. Sharing of Recoveries. (a) Each Lender agrees that (i) if it shall exercise any right of counterclaim, setoff, banker’s lien or similar right or if under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar Law, it receives any secured claim, the security for which is a debt owed by it to the Borrower, including any secured claim deemed secured under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) if, as a result of the exercise of a right or the receipt of any secured claim described in clause (i) of this Section or otherwise, it shall receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount due and payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as principal, interest, fees or expense reimbursements that is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect to the aggregate of such amounts due and payable to such other Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase participations (which shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in the rights of the other Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents so that all such recoveries with respect to such amounts due and payable hereunder and under other Loan Documents by all of the Lenders shall be pro rata; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by the purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from such Lender, such purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such Lender to the extent of such recovery, but without interest (unless the purchasing Lender is required to pay interest on the amount recovered to the Person recovering such amount, in which case the selling Lender shall be required to pay interest at a like rate). Any Lender receiving any such secured claim shall exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

16.2.3.3. Borrower Consent. The Borrower expressly consents to the arrangements set forth in this Section and agrees that any holder of a participation in any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document so purchased or acquired pursuant to this Section may exercise any and all rights to setoff and any other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

16.2.4. Miscellaneous. From and after the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been waived in writing, Lenders may exercise any other rights and remedies available to Lenders under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to Lenders at law or in equity.

16.3. Application of Funds. Any funds received by Lenders or Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders with respect to any Loan Obligation after its Maturity, shall be applied as follows: (i) first, to reimburse Lenders pro rata for any amounts due to Lenders under Section 19.8; (ii) second, to reimburse to Administrative Agent all unreimbursed costs and expenses paid or incurred by Administrative Agent that are payable or reimbursable by Borrower hereunder;

1336346.6

(iii) third, to reimburse to Lenders pro rata all unreimbursed costs and expenses paid or incurred by Lenders (including costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent as a Lender that are not reimbursable as provided in the preceding clause) that are payable or reimbursable by Borrower hereunder; (iv) fourth, to the payment of accrued and unpaid fees due hereunder and all other amounts due hereunder (other than the Loans and interest accrued thereon); (v) fifth, to the payment of the Loans of each of the Lenders and interest accrued thereon (which payments shall be pro rata to each of the Lenders in accordance with the amount of the Loans outstanding) and to the payment (pari passu with the foregoing) of any Hedging Obligations; (vi) sixth, to Letter of Credit Issuer as cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Exposure; and (vii) seventh, to the payment of the other Loan Obligations. Any remaining amounts shall be applied to payment of all the Obligations to Administrative Agent. Any further remaining amounts shall be paid to Borrower or such other Persons as shall be legally entitled thereto. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, after Maturity, Lenders may apply and reverse and reapply, payments to the Loan Obligations in such order and manner as Lenders determine in their absolute discretion.

16.4. Notice. Any notice of intended action required to be given by Administrative Agent, if given as provided in Section 20.1 at least 10 days prior to such proposed action, shall be effective and constitute reasonable and fair notice to Borrower.

17.

Administrative Agent and Lenders.

17.1.

Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

17.1.1. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 17.9) appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the terms Administrative Agent or agent herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent are not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

17.1.2. The Letter of Credit Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except for so long) as Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to Administrative Agent in this Section 17 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term Administrative Agent as used in

1336346.6

this Section 17 included the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Letter of Credit Issuer.

17.2. Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

17.3. Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Covered Person or any officer, manager, or member thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Covered Person or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Covered Person or any Affiliate thereof.

17.4.

Reliance by Administrative Agent.

17.4.1. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Covered Person), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and participants. Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders otherwise determine, Administrative Agent shall, and in all other instances, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or a vote of the Lenders.

17.4.2. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 9.1, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have

1336346.6

consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender.

17.5. 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 the Lenders, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the 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 the Lenders 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 directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 16.2; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such direction, 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 interest of the Lenders.

17.6. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Covered Person or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Covered Persons and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Covered Persons. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent herein, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Covered Persons or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

17.7. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Covered Person and without limiting the obligation of any Covered Person to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders

1336346.6

shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Loan Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.

17.8. Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in (such equity interests not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all Covered Persons), and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with, each of the Covered Persons and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Covered Person or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Covered Person or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Administrative Agent or the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Lender and Lenders include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

17.9. Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders. If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in writing (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term Administrative Agent shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 17 and other Sections benefiting Administrative Agent shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Bank of America may not be removed as Administrative Agent at the request of the

1336346.6

Required Lenders unless Bank of America shall also simultaneously be replaced and fully released as Letter of Credit Issuer.

17.10. Collections and Distributions to Lenders by Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments of interest, fees, principal and other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to Lenders in accordance with their pro rata shares of the outstanding Loan Obligations at the time of such distribution (or entirely to Bank of America in the case of payments of interest, fees or principal with respect to the Swingline Loan) on the same Business Day when received, unless received after 12:00 noon (Local Time) in which case they shall be so distributed by 12:00 noon (Local Time) on the next Business Day. All amounts received by any Lender on account of the Loan Obligations, including amounts received by way of setoff, shall be paid over promptly to Administrative Agent for distribution to Lenders as provided above in this Section. Such distributions shall be made according to instructions that each Lender may give to Administrative Agent from time to time.

18.

Change in Circumstances.

18.1.

Compensation for Increased Costs and Reduced Returns.

18.1.1. Law Changes or Tax Impositions. If, after the Effective Date, the adoption of any applicable Law or any change in any applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency:

(i) subjects such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any Tax with respect to any Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Loans (other than Taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender or franchise taxes or gross receipts taxes chargeable on the basis of income or revenue of such Lender) by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office);

(ii) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement (other than the reserve requirement utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitment(s) of such Lender hereunder; or

(iii) imposes on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, its Commitments or its Note or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, converting into, continuing, or maintaining any Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable

1336346.6

Lending Office) under this Agreement or any of its Notes with respect to any Loans, then Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. If any Lender requests compensation by Borrower under this Section 18.1.1, Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans of the type with respect to which such compensation is requested, or to convert Loans of any other type into Loans of such type, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 18.5 shall be applicable); provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

18.1.2. Capital Adequacy. If, after the Effective Date, any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

18.1.3. Notice to Borrower. Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 18.1 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 18.1 shall furnish to Borrower and Administrative Agent a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

18.2. Market Failure. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:

(i) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;

then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans, or to convert Eurodollar Loans and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for any outstanding Eurodollar Loans

1336346.6

either prepay such Loans or convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

18.3. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make, continue Eurodollar Loans or convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 18.5 shall be applicable).

18.4. Compensation. Upon the request of any Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(i) any payment, prepayment, or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to the terms hereof) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan; or

(ii) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow, convert, continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Loan on the date for such borrowing, conversion, continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, continuation, or conversion under this Agreement.

If a Lender claims compensation under this Section 18.4, such Lender shall furnish a certificate to Borrower that states in reasonable detail the amount to be paid to it hereunder and includes a description of the method used by such Lender in calculating such amount. Borrower shall have the burden of proving that the amount of any such compensation calculated by a Lender is not correct. Any compensation payable by Borrower to a Lender under this Section 18.4 shall be payable without regard to whether such Lender has funded its pro rata share of any Eurodollar Advance or Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in an amount or of a maturity corresponding to the deposits used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate.

18.5. Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make a Eurodollar Loan or to continue any Eurodollar Loan, or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan shall be suspended pursuant to Section 18.1, 18.2 or 18.3 (such Loans being herein called Affected Loans), such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be automatically and immediately converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Affected Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by Section 18.3, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify by written notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section18.1, 18.2, or 18.3 that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Affected Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall continue to be made and applied as provided for herein; and

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurodollar Loans shall be converted instead into (or shall remain as) Base Rate Loans.

1336346.6

If such Lender gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 18.1, 18.2 or 18.3 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Affected Loans pursuant to this Section 18.5 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Loans of the type of the Affected Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Loans of the type of the Affected Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Loans of the type of the Affected Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, type of interest, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Loan Commitments.

18.6.

Taxes.

18.6.1. Gross-Up. Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes, whether imposed now or in the future, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent, Taxes imposed on its income, and franchise and gross receipts Taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the Laws of which such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof. If Borrower is required by Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable will be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 18.6) such Lender or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (iv) Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to herein, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as Impositions). Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Impositions (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Impositions imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 18.6) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of the receipt evidencing such payment.

18.6.2.

Lenders’ Undertakings.

(i) Each Lender organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Borrower or Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to

do so), shall provide Borrower and Administrative Agent with (i) Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding Tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and (iii) any other form or certificate required by any Governmental Authority (including any certificate required by Sections 871(h) and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or a reduced rate of Tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide Borrower and Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to this Section 18.6.2 (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty or Law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 18.6.1 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request (at such Lender’s sole cost and expense) to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(ii) If Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. The Borrower shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Administrative Agent or any Lender, within a reasonable time after Borrower’s request therefor, for any additional amounts its pays to or for the account of Administrative Agent or such Lender, respectively, pursuant to this Section 18.6 to the extent that Administrative Agent or such Lender actually receives (either by refund, deduction, credit or otherwise) additional monetary payments in respect of the Taxes in respect of which such additional amounts were paid by Borrower.

18.6.3. Survival of Borrower’s Obligations. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 18.6 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the expiration of the Letters of Credit, and the indefeasible full payment and satisfaction of all of the Loan Obligations.

18.7. Usury. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in Section 4 or elsewhere in any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay interest at a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law. If, but for this Section 18.7, Borrower would be deemed obligated to pay interest at a rate which exceeds the maximum rate permitted by Law, or if any of the Loan Obligations is paid or becomes payable before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and as a result Borrower has paid or would be obligated to pay interest at such an excessive

1336346.6

rate, then (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay interest to the extent it exceeds the interest that would be payable at the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law; (ii) if the outstanding Loan Obligations have not been accelerated as provided in Section 16.2.2, any such excess interest that has been paid by Borrower shall be refunded; (iii) if the outstanding Loan Obligations have been accelerated as provided in Section 16.2.2, any such excess that has been paid by Borrower shall be applied to the Loan Obligations as provided in Section 16.3; and (iv) the effective rate of interest shall be deemed automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law.

All payments that Lenders make pursuant to this Section and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that Lenders pay or incur in connection with any action taken by them hereunder shall be a part of the Loan Obligations. Any payment made or other action taken by Lenders pursuant to this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to pursue Lender’s other rights and remedies with respect thereto.

All agreements, obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Agreement concerning the payment of money to Administrative Agent and Lenders, including Borrower’s obligations under Sections 19.7 and 19.8, but excluding the obligation to repay the Loans and interest accrued thereon, shall survive the repayment in full of the Loans and interest accrued thereon, whether or not indefeasible, the return of the Notes to Borrower, the termination of the Commitments and the expiration of all Letters of Credit.

19.4.2.2. Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitments assigned, except that this Section 19.4.2.2 shall not apply to Bank of America’s rights and obligations in respect of the Swingline Loan;

19.4.2.3. Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 19.4.2.1(B) and, in addition:

19.4.3. Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the office of Administrative Agent in Chicago, Illinois listed on Exhibit S, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and reimbursement obligations with respect to the Letter

Subject to Section 19.4.6, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 18.1, 18.4 and 18.6.1 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 19.4.2. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 16.2.3.1 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 16.2.3.2 as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the sale of any participations which require Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or under the securities Laws of any state shall not be permitted.

1336346.6

19.4.6. Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under 18.1 or 18.6.1 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower's prior written consent.

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

19.4.8. Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

19.4.9. Deemed Consent of Borrower. If the consent of Borrower to an assignment to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in Section 19.4.2.1(B)), Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered to Borrower by the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrower prior to such fifth Business Day.

In the event of any such resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer or Lender under the Swingline Loan, Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among Lenders a successor Letter of Credit Issuer or Lender under the Swingline Loan hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as Letter of Credit Issuer or Lender under the Swingline Loan, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as Letter of Credit Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer and all reimbursement obligations with respect to such Letters of Credit with respect thereto (including the right to cause Administrative Agent to make a Revolving Loan Advance pursuant to Section 7.7.2).

General Indemnity.

19.8.1. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and advisors (each, an Indemnified Party) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation, or proceeding or preparation of defense in connection therewith) the Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of

1336346.6

the Loans, or the manufacture, storage, transportation, release or disposal of any Hazardous Material on, from, over or affecting any of the assets, properties, or operations of any Covered Person or any predecessor in interest, directly or indirectly, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 19.8 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Covered Person, its directors, shareholders, members, managers, or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Borrower agrees not to assert any claim against Administrative Agent, any Lender, any of their affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, and advisers, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Loan Documents, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans.

19.8.2. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 19.8 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the expiration of the Letters of Credit, and the indefeasible full payment and satisfaction of all of the Loan Obligations.

19.8.3. To the extent that any of the indemnities required from Borrower under this Section are unenforceable because they violate any Law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum amount which it is permitted to pay under applicable Law.

19.9. Letters of Credit. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary of any of the Letters of Credit. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, or representatives shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use which may be made of any of the Letters of Credit or for any acts or omissions of beneficiary in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement(s) thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by Administrative Agent against presentation of documents which, on their face, appear to comply with the terms of any Letter of Credit, even though such documents may fail to bear any reference or adequate reference to any such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit in connection with which Administrative Agent would, pursuant to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 (as amended from time to time) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98), be absolved from liability. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Letter of Credit Issuer 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.

19.10. Loan Records. The date and amount of all Advances to Borrower and payments of amounts due from Borrower under the Loan Documents will be recorded in the records that Administrative Agent normally maintains for such types of transactions. The failure to record, or any error in recording, any of the foregoing shall not, however, affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have the burden of proving that such records are not correct. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent’s and any Lender’s books and records showing the Loan Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and

1336346.6

shall constitute prima facie proof thereof, irrespective of whether any Loan Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. Administrative Agent will provide to Borrower a monthly statement of Advances, payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrower and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments as provided in Section 6.6 and corrections of errors discovered by Administrative Agent or a Lender), unless Borrower notifies Administrative Agent in writing to the contrary within 60 days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by Borrower, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by Borrower

19.11. Other Security and Guaranties. Administrative Agent or any Lender may, without notice or demand and without affecting Borrower’s obligations hereunder, from time to time: (a) take from any Person and hold collateral for the payment of all or any part of the Loan Obligations and exchange, enforce and release such collateral or any part thereof; and (b) accept and hold any endorsement or guaranty of payment of all or any part of the Loan Obligations and release or substitute any such endorser or guarantor, or any Person who has given any Security Interest in any other collateral as security for the payment of all or any part of the Loan Obligations, or any other Person in any way obligated to pay all or any part of the Loan Obligations.

19.12. Loan Obligations Payable in Dollars. All Loan Obligations that are payable in Dollars under the terms of the Loan Documents shall be payable only in Dollars. If, however, to obtain a judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a Loan Obligation payable in Dollars into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which Administrative Agent, using its customary procedures, could purchase Dollars with such other currency in New York, New York on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. If any sum in another currency is paid to a Lender or received by a Lender and applied to a Loan Obligation payable in Dollars, such Loan Obligation shall be deemed paid and discharged only to the extent of the amount of Dollars that Administrative Agent, using its customary procedures, is able to purchase in New York, New York with such sum on the Business Day immediately following receipt thereof. Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against any loss in Dollars that it may incur on such Loan Obligation as a result of such payment or receipt and application to such Loan Obligation.

20.3. Rights Cumulative. Each of the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement shall be in addition to all of its other rights and remedies under applicable Law, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting any such rights or remedies.

[INTENTIONALLY BLANK].

20.5. Severability.

20.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Borrower promises to pay the entire principal amount outstanding under this Note on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Borrower further promises to pay on the dates provided in the Loan Agreement interest accrued from the date hereof on the principal balance outstanding hereunder from time to time. Until Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, interest shall accrue hereunder at a per annum rate or rates determined pursuant to the Loan Agreement (defined below). After Maturity, and, at the option of Administrative Agent, after the occurrence of an Event of Default (and notice from Administrative Agent that the Default Rate is in effect) and continuing until it has been cured or waived in writing as permitted in the Loan Agreement, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal, and (to the extent permitted by law) accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts owing under this Note at the Default Rate. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year deemed to consist of 360 days for all Eurodollar Loans and 365 or 366 days, as applicable, for all Base Rate Loans and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Required Lenders may declare the outstanding principal balance of this Note, all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts owing to Holder under this Note and the Loan Documents immediately due and payable, and such amounts shall become immediately due and payable.

Both principal and interest are payable in Dollars to Administrative Agent at the Applicable Lending Office of Administrative Agent.

This Note is a Revolving Note referred to in, and is issued under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of, that certain Amended and Restated Credit Facilities Agreement, dated as of even date herewith among Borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Holder, and the other Lenders (as it may be amended, restated, extended, renewed, replaced, or otherwise modified from time to time, the Loan Agreement). All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Loan Agreement.

Borrower is required to prepay the principal amount of this Note to the extent required in the Loan Agreement. Borrower has the right to prepay the principal amount of this Note to the extent and subject to the conditions provided in the Loan Agreement.

Borrower agrees that Holder's books and records showing disbursements and receipts are admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and constitute prima facie proof thereof.

Reference is made to the Loan Agreement for provisions regarding the acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the occurrence of any Event of Default that has not been waived in writing, and such provisions are incorporated herein by this reference.

If any payment required under this Note or the Loan Agreement is not made when due, or upon any other Event of Default, Borrower will pay all reasonable costs of collection, including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and actual expenses of such attorneys, whether or not there is litigation, including representation of Holder and Administrative Agent in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Borrower.

Borrower and all other Persons who become parties obligated under this Note, whether as guarantors, sureties, endorsers or otherwise, waive any right to demand for payment, any requirement for protest or notice of dishonor, all other rights to notice or demands with respect to this Note, any defense based on lack of diligence in the enforcement of this Note, and any defense which such party may have based on suretyship or impairment of collateral. Every such party assents to each and every extension or postponement of the time of payment, whether at or after demand, or other indulgence, and waives any right to notice thereof.

No amendment or modification to this Note will be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by authorized officers of Borrower and Holder. No waiver or consent to any departure by Borrower from full compliance with any provision of this Note by Holder will be effective unless the same is in writing signed by an authorized officer of Holder, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of Holder or Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Note operates as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by Holder or Administrative Agent of any right under this Note precludes any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right. Each and every right granted to Holder under this Note or allowed to it at law or in equity is cumulative and such remedies may be exercised from time to time concurrently or consecutively at Holder's option.

All notices required to be given or which may be given in connection with this Note shall be given in the manner required for notices under the Loan Agreement.

This Note is governed by and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Missouri applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within such state, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.

All action on the part of each Covered Person requisite for its execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents has been duly taken.
