THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

Section 2.1 Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lenders and LC Issuer will make up to $48,800,000 in total credit available to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers under this Agreement in the form of the following credit extensions advanced or to be made under the following facilities: (a) revolving loans, (b) a term loan and (c) a letter of credit subfacility, all as more particularly described below.

Section 2.2 The Revolving Loans; The Term Loan.

(a) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Termination Date, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to make loans (collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to Borrowers, in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (i) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender or (ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Availability then in effect. The aggregate amount of all of the Revolving Loan Commitments is $40,000,000. Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow the Revolving Loans, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the terms of Section 12.4(a), Agent, in its discretion, may elect, on behalf of Lenders, to exceed the limits of the Borrowing Base (but not, together with any other Revolving Loans outstanding, the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments) (and thereby increase the Revolving Loan Availability) on one or more occasions (each, an “Overadvance”), but if it does so, neither Agent nor any Lender will be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of the Revolving Loan Availability or to be obligated to make Overadvances on any other occasion. All Overadvances constitute Revolving Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to make a term loan (collectively, the “Term Loan”) under this Agreement on the Closing Date, in an amount not to exceed, with respect to each Lender, the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender. The aggregate amount of all of the Term Loan Commitments is $8,800,000. No part of the Term Loan may, on the repayment thereof, be redrawn or reborrowed by Borrowers. Lenders shall have no obligation to fund any new amounts under the Term Loan Commitments after the Closing Date. The entire unpaid principal balance of, and accrued interest on, the Term Loan, if not sooner repaid, will be due and payable on the Termination Date.

(d) The principal balance of the Term Loan will be repaid in consecutive equal monthly principal installments of $105,000 each, commencing on September 1, 2010, and continuing on the first day of every calendar month thereafter, with the final payment of the then-unpaid balance of the Term Loan due and payable in full on the Termination Date.

(e) In addition to the scheduled payments of principal on the Term Loan set forth in Section 2.3(b), beginning on the earlier of (i) April 30, 2011 or (ii) 15 days following the date on which Agent receives Borrower’s Financial Statements in accordance with Section 6.1(b) for the Fiscal Year ending December 31, 2010 and continuing on the same due date (or 15 days following the date on which Lenders receive Borrower’s Financial Statements in each subsequent Fiscal Year) thereafter occurring in each subsequent Fiscal Year until the payment in full of the Term Loan, Borrowers will make a payment to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders (each, an “Excess Cash Flow Payment”) in an aggregate amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year of Borrower (or portion of the Fiscal Year in the case of the Fiscal Year ending on December 31, 2010) then ended. Each Excess Cash Flow Payment shall, absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, be applied to the remaining installments of principal under the Term Loan Notes in the inverse order of maturity, and to accrued but unpaid interest thereon. The receipt by Lenders of any such prepayments will not change the due dates or amounts of the monthly principal payments otherwise required to be paid pursuant to the Term Loan Notes.

Section 2.3 Letters of Credit.

(a) Request for Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Termination Date, any one or more of the Borrowers may request LC Issuer to issue one or more of its Letters of Credit in favor of such beneficiary(ies) as are designated by Borrowers in accordance with this

Section 2.3. The making of each Letter of Credit request by Borrowers will be deemed to be a representation by Borrowers that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the terms of, this Section 2.3. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute a utilization of the Revolving Loan Commitments.

(b) Terms of Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement will, among other things, (i) be in such form as is acceptable to LC Issuer in its discretion exercised in good faith, (ii) be denominated in Dollars, and (iii) be issued to support Borrowers’ respective Indebtedness incurred (or to purchase Equipment or Inventory in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit) in the ordinary course of Borrowers’ business as presently conducted by each of them or permitted to be conducted by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The expiration date of any standby Letter of Credit shall be up to twelve (12) months after the date of issuance thereof and any commercial Letter of Credit shall be up to six (6) months after the date of issuance thereof; furthermore, and, in addition to each of the foregoing term limitations, LC Issuer will have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit with an expiry date later than 15 days prior to the Stated Termination Date; provided that a Letter of Credit may be subject to one or more renewal terms so long as any such renewal term does not extend beyond the Stated Termination Date.

(c) Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers shall be irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally obligated to reimburse LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. All such amounts paid by LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by Borrowers shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (i) the rate applicable to Daily LIBOR Rate Revolving Loans for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (ii) the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Daily LIBOR Rate Revolving Loans for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from Borrowers for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to LC Issuer in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.3(h). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers may request a Revolving Loan hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any reimbursement obligation.

(d) Cash Collateral. At the election of Agent at any time after an Event of Default, Borrowers shall, upon Agent’s demand, deliver to Agent cash collateral equal to the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations. Any such cash collateral shall be held by Agent, for the benefit of itself, LC Issuer and Lenders, in a separate account appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in relation to this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and shall be retained by Agent, for the benefit of itself, LC Issuer and Lenders, first as collateral security in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations and then in respect of the other Obligations. Such amounts shall not be used by Agent to pay any amounts drawn or paid under or pursuant to the Letters of Credit or any L/C Draft, but shall be applied to reimburse LC Issuer for drawings or payments under or pursuant to the Letters of Credit or any L/C Draft which LC Issuer has paid, or if no reimbursement is required and the Letter of Credit Obligations shall have been satisfied in full or terminated, to payment of such other Obligations as Agent shall determine.

(e) Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. Borrowers shall give LC Issuer at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice, or telephonic or electronically transmitted notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of any requested issuance of a Letter of Credit under this Agreement together with: (i) a Letter of Credit Application completed to the satisfaction of LC Issuer and (ii) the proposed form, if available, of the Letter of Credit (which, in all respects, will comply with the applicable requirements of this Section 2.3. Such Letter of Credit request notice shall specify (A) the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, (B) the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, (C) the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day and which shall comply with Section 2.3(b)), (D) the proposed beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit, (E) the conditions for draws under such Letter of Credit, and (F) any other information relevant thereto as LC Issuer may request.

(f) Advice of Issuance or Non-Issuance. Any issuance of a requested Letter of Credit will be in the discretion of LC Issuer to be exercised in good faith. Upon receipt of a request from Borrowers to open any Letter of Credit and of all attendant Letter of Credit Documents as completed in accordance in this Section 2.3, LC Issuer, within three Business Days, will either: (i) issue the requested Letter of Credit (with such changes as may be requested by LC Issuer and agreed to by Borrowers and the beneficiary thereof) and transmit a copy to Borrowers or

(ii) notify Borrowers why LC Issuer has elected not to issue the proposed Letter of Credit. If LC Issuer elects not to issue such Letter of Credit, Borrowers will be permitted to seek the issuance of a letter of credit from a third-party financial institution and provide cash collateral therefor in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 8.11(c). LC Issuer, in addition to the other terms of this Agreement, will, in any event, not have any obligation to issue the proposed Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such proposed Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Availability will be less than zero Dollars.

(g) Fees. For each Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Agent a fee (as applicable, the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) 1.75% on the Letter of Credit Face Amount of each standby Letter of Credit from, and including, the issuance date (and on each renewal) of such Letter of Credit to, and including, the expiry date thereof and (ii) 1.75% on the Letter of Credit Face Amount of each commercial Letter of Credit. In addition, Borrowers shall also pay to LC Issuer for its own account (A) at the time of issuance of each Letter of Credit, an issuance fee equal to 0.125% (“Issuance Fee”) of the Letter of Credit Face Amount of such Letter of Credit and (B) all then current opening, closing, transfer, amendment, draw, renewal, negotiation and other administration fees, charges and out-of-pocket expenses with respect to each Letter of Credit. The Issuance Fee is fully earned by LC Issuer when paid and will be due and payable upon issuance, and each renewal, of each Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee is fully earned by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders when paid and will be due and payable in advance on the issuance and, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, each renewal of each such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit Fee will be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. If any Letter of Credit is cancelled for any reason before the stated expiry date thereof, the Letter of Credit Fee will not be refunded and will be retained by Agent and the Lenders solely for their account. Agent shall distribute the Letter of Credit Fee to Lenders having Revolving Loan Commitments in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments.

(h) Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under the Letter of Credit, LC Issuer shall notify Agent and Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of LC Issuer to Borrowers and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit. LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Letters of Credit as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by LC Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally, absolutely, and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by LC Issuer under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by Borrowers pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 2.3, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 2:00 p.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Daily LIBOR Rate Revolving Loans.

(i) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.3 shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Borrower may have or have had against LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit. Borrowers further agree with LC Issuer and Lenders that LC Issuer and Lenders shall not be responsible for, and each Borrower’s reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among Borrowers, any of their Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to whom any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of Borrowers or of any of their Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. Borrowers agree that any action taken or omitted by LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Letter of Credit and the related drafts and

documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon Borrowers and shall not put LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to Borrowers.

(j) Actions of LC Issuer. LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex, swift, email or teletype message, statement, order or other document 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, independent accountants and other experts selected by LC Issuer. LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement (other than LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any outstanding Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit) unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders as it deems appropriate in the exercise of its discretion in good faith or it shall first be indemnified to its good faith satisfaction by 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. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.3, LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Requisite Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Letter of Credit.

(k) Indemnification. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to and does hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, LC Issuer and Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender, LC Issuer or Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, LC Issuer or Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of any Letter of Credit, including any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights any Borrower may have against any Defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of LC Issuer issuing any Letter of Credit which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Letter of Credit does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, LC Issuer or Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (y) LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

(m) Participation. Each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation therein to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (based on such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment) in each Letter of Credit and related Letter of Credit Obligation issued by LC Issuer hereunder.

Section 2.4 Advances and Settlement of Payments and Advances.

(a) Advance Requests.

(i) Borrowers shall (i) select the Type of Loan and, in the case of each LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan, the LIBOR Tranche Period applicable thereto, from time to time and (ii) give Agent irrevocable notice (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time) on the Borrowing Date for each Daily LIBOR Rate Loan and three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan, specifying (in the form of Exhibit A for LIBOR Tranche Rate Loans): (A) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Loan, (B) the aggregate amount of such Loan, (C) the Type of Loan selected; provided that, if Borrowers fail to specify the Type of Loan requested, such request shall be deemed a request for a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan; and (D) the duration of the LIBOR Tranche Period if the Type of Loan requested is a LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan; provided that, if Borrowers fail to select the duration of the LIBOR Tranche Period for the requested LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that such LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan be made with a LIBOR Tranche Period of one month. Each Borrowing Notice must be signed by an Authorized Representative; however, Agent may rely on the authority of any officer or employee of any Borrower whom Agent in good faith believes to be authorized to request advances.

(ii) Prior to the Termination Date and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, all disbursements of Revolving Loans will initially be made into a non-interest bearing, DDA operating account maintained at Agent or an Affiliate of Agent (the “Operating Account”) structured and utilized for that purpose in accordance with Agent’s (or as applicable, the applicable Agent Affiliate’s) policies and procedures, current account number: 7141958798. Prior to the Termination Date and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, funds in the Operating Account will then be made available to Borrowers via one or more non-interest bearing controlled disbursement accounts maintained by Borrowers at Agent or an Affiliate of Agent (collectively, the “Controlled Disbursement Account”) in accordance with Agent’s (or as applicable, the applicable Agent Affiliate’s) policies and procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2.4(a)(ii), Agent may, at any time hereafter, elect not to credit proceeds of Revolving Loans to the Controlled Disbursement Account, but Agent instead may establish non-controlled disbursement account or accounts (such as an operating account but exclusive of the Operating Account) for Borrowers at Agent or an Affiliate of Agent and disburse proceeds of the Revolving Loans by crediting such non-controlled disbursement account(s) of Borrowers at Agent or an Affiliate of Agent. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, without any further written or oral request of Borrowers, to transfer funds automatically from the Operating Account to the Controlled Disbursement Account in amounts necessary for the payment of checks and other items drawn on, and debits by Agent of, the Controlled Disbursement Account as such checks and other items (“Presentments”) are presented to Agent or the applicable Agent Affiliate for payment, and debits are made by Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If any Presentments in the Controlled Disbursement Account are paid by Agent in excess of funds available in the Operating Account for any reason, the amounts so paid by Agent will be deemed to be an overdraft and advance of the Revolving Loans as a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan for all purposes of this Agreement and are hereby ratified and approved by Borrowers; however, under no circumstances will Agent have any obligation to pay any Presentments in the Controlled Disbursement Account in excess of funds available in the Operating Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4(a)(ii), Agent reserves the right to discontinue providing controlled disbursement accounts to its customers, including Borrowers. In addition to advances of Revolving Loans made pursuant to Agent’s (or as applicable, Agent’s Affiliate’s) controlled disbursement account system, Agent will, from time to time prior to the Termination Date and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, make advances of Revolving Loans via wire transfers or ACH payments so long as Borrowers have given Agent written notice at the Head Office, via facsimile transmission, electronic mail or otherwise, no later than 1:00 p.m. Cincinnati, Ohio time on the date Borrowers shall request that such Revolving Loan be advanced in the case of wire transfers and any other deadline imposed by Agent from time to time for ACH payments. The making of each Revolving Loan, whether via the controlled disbursement account system or a written request by Borrowers, will be deemed to be a representation by Borrowers that (A) the Revolving Loan will not violate the terms of Section 2.2 and (B) all Eligible Receivables and Eligible Inventory then comprising the Borrowing Base meet all of Agent’s criteria for Eligible Receivables and Eligible Inventory, respectively. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to follow, nor any liability for, the application by any Borrower of any proceeds of any Revolving Loan.

(b) Funding of Revolving Advances. With respect to any Revolving Loans requested (or deemed to be requested) by any Borrower hereunder, each Lender agrees that Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make such Revolving Loans to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders as an Interim Advance. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations to make Revolving Loans hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan hereunder shall not

relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to make its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loans hereunder. If any Borrower makes (or is deemed to have made) a request for a Revolving Loan as provided herein, Agent, at its option and in its discretion, shall do either of the following:

(i) Advance the amount of the proposed Revolving Loan to Borrowers disproportionately (an “Interim Advance”) out of Agent’s own funds on behalf of Lenders, which advance shall be on the same day as any Borrower’s request therefor with respect to Daily LIBOR Rate Loans (if Borrowers notify Agent at the Head Office of such request by 1:00 p.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time) on such day), and thereby elect settlement in accordance with Section 2.4(c) such that upon such settlement each Lender’s share of the outstanding Revolving Loans (including the amount of any Interim Advance) equals its Pro Rata Share. Interim Advances constitute Revolving Loans, bearing interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Daily LIBOR Rate Loans. Such funds from Agent shall then be remitted to the Operating Account or as otherwise instructed in a writing signed by an Authorized Representative of Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(ii); or

(ii) Notify each Lender by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of teletransmission of the proposed advance on the same day Agent is notified or deemed notified by a Borrower of its request for an advance pursuant to this Section 2. Each Lender shall remit to Agent at the Head Office, (A) with respect to Daily LIBOR Rate Loans, on or prior to 2:00 p.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time), on the date such Daily LIBOR Rate Loans are to be advanced, and (B) with respect to LIBOR Tranche Rate Loans, at or prior to 2:00 p.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time), on the date such LIBOR Tranche Rate Loans are to be advanced, immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed advance. Such funds shall then be remitted to the Operating Account or as otherwise instructed in a writing signed by an Authorized Representative of a Borrower.

(c) Settlement with Lenders. On a weekly basis (or more frequently if required by Agent) (a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall provide each Lender with a statement of the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans (including any Overadvances and Interim Advances) and any Agent Advances as of the end of the Business Day preceding the Settlement Date (the “Pre-Settlement Determination Date”) and the current balance of the Revolving Loans (including Overadvances) and any Agent Advances actually funded by each Lender (whether made directly by such Lender to Borrowers or constituting a settlement by such Lender of a previous Interim Advance made by Agent on behalf of such Lender to Borrowers). If such statement discloses that such Lender’s current balance of the Revolving Loans (including any Overadvances) and any Agent Advances actually funded by such Lender as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including any Overadvances and Interim Advances) and any Agent Advances outstanding as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date, then Agent shall on the Settlement Date, transfer, by wire transfer, the net amount due to such Lender in accordance with such Lender’s instructions, and, if such statement discloses that such Lender’s current balance of the Revolving Loans (including any Overadvances) and Agent Advances actually funded by such Lender as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including any Overadvances and Interim Advances) and Agent Advances outstanding as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date, then such Lender shall on the Settlement Date, transfer, by wire transfer the net amount due to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. The statements provided by Agent to Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts set forth therein. In addition, payments actually received by Agent with respect to the following items shall be distributed by Agent to Lenders as follows:

(i) Within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof by Agent, payments to be applied to interest on the Loans shall be paid to each Lender in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, subject to any adjustments for any Interim Advances and Agent Advances funded by Agent so that Agent shall receive interest on the Interim Advances and the Agent Advances funded by Agent and each Lender shall only receive interest on the amount of funds actually advanced by such Lender;

(ii) Within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof by Agent, payments to be applied to the Letter of Credit Fee set forth in Section 2.3(g) shall be paid to each Lender in proportion to its Pro Rata Share; and

(iii) Within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof by Agent, payments to be applied to the Unused Line Fee set forth in Section 6.9(a) shall be paid to each Lender in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

(d) Defaulting Lender. If and to the extent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Borrowers and Defaulting Lender severally agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such amount required to be paid by such Defaulting Lender to Agent, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to Agent (i) in the case of a Defaulting Lender at the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) in the case of Borrowers, at the rate of interest applicable to such Revolving Loan; provided, that Borrowers’ obligation to repay such advance to Agent shall not relieve such Defaulting Lender of its liability to Agent for failure to settle as provided in this Agreement. Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to any Defaulting Lender any payments (including any principal, interest, fees or other amounts) made by, or on behalf of, Borrowers to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor will a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrowers the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Any amounts so re-lent to Borrowers shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Daily LIBOR Rate Loans and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Revolving Loans. In addition, Agent may elect, in its discretion, on any one or more occasions to continue to make Interim Advances out of Agent’s own funds on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender will unconditionally be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share thereof; provided, however, that for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”, and each of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and the unpaid principal balance of the Loans owing to such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to be zero (-0-). Until a Defaulting Lender cures its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan, the Unused Line Fee shall accrue in favor of Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested Loan and shall be allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative Commitments. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement, Borrowers, so long as no Event of Default then exists, may: (A) request Agent to use reasonable efforts to identify a replacement Lender or financial institution satisfactory to Borrowers to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of all of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Commitments (a “Replacement Lender”), provided that Agent will have no duty to undertake a formal syndication or any underwriting obligations of any nature with respect to any proposed Replacement Lender requested by Borrowers; (B) request one or more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all or part of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Commitment; or (C) designate a Replacement Lender. Any such designation of a Replacement Lender under clause (A) or (C) shall be subject to the prior consent of Agent. Borrowers and Lenders further acknowledge that Agent assumes no responsibility for ensuring that Agent will be able to locate any Replacement Lender or that any Person designated as a Replacement Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement. If Agent gives notice to such Defaulting Lender that a Replacement Lender has been obtained, then such Defaulting Lender must immediately sell all of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans and Commitment for an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans held by such Defaulting Lender plus all accrued interest and fees then due to such Defaulting Lender as set forth in this Agreement.

(e) Participation in Interim Advances. By the making of an Interim Advance and without any further action on the part of Agent or Lenders, Agent hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from Agent, a participation in such Interim Advance equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments with respect to such Interim Advance. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of Agent, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitments with respect to such Interim Advance, or of any payment on any Interim Advance required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Interim Advances is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the failure of any condition in Section 4.2 to be satisfied, or any reduction or termination of the Commitments or a reduction in the Revolving Loan Availability, and

that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Following receipt by Agent of any payment by Borrowers in respect of any Interim Advance, Agent shall apply such amounts to the then outstanding Agent Advances and, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) to Agent, to Lenders, as their interest may appear. The purchase of participations in an Interim Advance pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) shall not relieve Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.5 The Notes.

(a) The Revolving Loans made by each Lender and the interest thereon shall be evidenced by a promissory note jointly and severally made by Borrowers payable to the order of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, dated as of the Closing Date (or any date of amendment and restatement thereof), in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s initial Revolving Loan Commitment (each, a “Revolving Loan Note”).

(b) The Term Loan made by each Lender and the interest thereon shall be evidenced by a promissory note jointly and severally made by Borrowers payable to the order of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit G, dated as of the Closing Date (or any date of amendment and restatement thereof), in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment and bearing interest at such rates, and payable upon such terms, as specified therein (each a “Term Loan Note”). Subject to the payment of a LIBOR Prepayment Fee, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, Borrowers may prepay the Term Loan in whole or part at any time without premium or penalty. Any prepayment of the Term Loan will be applied to the last to mature of the monthly payments required under the Term Loan Notes. No partial prepayment will change the due dates or the amount of the monthly principal payments otherwise required by the Term Loan Notes.

(c) All payments under the Notes shall be made to Agent at its Head Office, for the account of Lenders, and Agent shall allocate all payments received from Borrowers among all Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the respective Loan and other Obligations to which such payment relates in accordance with Section 2.8(b).

Section 2.6 Interest Payable on the Obligations.

(a) Determination of Interest Rate for the Obligations. Borrowers will pay Lenders interest on the Obligations as follows:

(i) At any time that a LIBOR Tranche Election is in effect for any portion of the Loans (other than Agent Advances, Interim Advances or Overadvances), the principal balance of the applicable LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan, up to the LIBOR Tranche Amount, will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable LIBOR Tranche-Based Rate in effect as of the first Business Day of the LIBOR Tranche Period for which the interest rate is being determined. The principal balance of the Loans (including Agent Advances, Interim Advances, and Overadvances), or portions thereof, as to which a LIBOR Tranche Election is not in effect and the principal balance of all other outstanding Obligations (except that portion of the Obligations, if any, arising under any agreement other than this Agreement if such other agreement provides for the payment of interest at a rate specified therein) will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the applicable Daily LIBOR Rate as in effect from time to time. The foregoing provisions of this clause (i) are subject to imposition of the Default Rate as provided in Section 2.6(c).

(ii) After the Closing Date and from time to time as provided below, Borrowers may make a LIBOR Tranche Election in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 2.6(a)(ii). Any LIBOR Tranche Election, in order to be effective, must be made by written notice, signed by an Authorized Representative of a Borrower, given to Agent and actually received by Agent, and must (A) be received not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time), three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, (B) with respect to such LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan designate a LIBOR Tranche Period of one (1), two (2), or three (3) months, and (C) designate the LIBOR Tranche Amount with respect to such Loan. Any LIBOR Tranche Election shall remain effective until a subsequent LIBOR Tranche Election becomes effective with respect to such LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan or, if no LIBOR Tranche Election is made with respect to such LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan, the last day of the LIBOR Tranche Period applicable thereto; however, in the absence of the delivery of a subsequent LIBOR Tranche Election in compliance with this Section 2.6(a)(ii) not less than three Business Days before the end of the LIBOR Tranche

Period then in effect, Borrowers will be deemed to have elected that such LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan be converted into a Daily LIBOR Rate Loan at the end of that LIBOR Tranche Period, but until such conversion, the funds advanced under such LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan prior to the end of the LIBOR Tranche Period. Other than with the consent of Agent, (1) Borrowers may not, in the aggregate, have more than four LIBOR Tranche Rate Loans outstanding at any time, and any LIBOR Tranche Election that would result in more than four LIBOR Tranche Rate Loans being outstanding shall not be effective; (2) each LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan will be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000; (3) no portion of the Loans which represents Agent Advances, Interim Advances, Overadvances, or any unreimbursed L/C Draft can be made as, converted into, or continued as, a LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan; and (4) no Loan will be made as, converted into, or continued as, a LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan: (A) when a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) during a period that, pursuant to Section 2.6(a)(iv), Agent has notified Borrowers that a LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan is not available, (C) from an Affected Lender which has notified Borrowers under Section 2.6(a)(iv) that it is unlawful for the Affected Lender to make such LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan, or (D) which has a LIBOR Tranche Period ending on or after the earlier of (I) the Stated Termination Date or (II) the Termination Date.

(iii) Any adjustment in the rate of interest resulting from a change in the Daily LIBOR Rate will become effective on the date of such change in the Daily LIBOR Rate made by Agent. Any adjustment in the rate of interest resulting from a change in the LIBOR Tranche Rate will become effective on the first Business Day of each LIBOR Tranche Period to reflect the LIBOR Tranche Rate determined as of the date which is two Business Days before the first Business Day of such LIBOR Tranche Period. Agent shall not be required to notify Borrower of any adjustment in the Daily LIBOR Rate, or of a selected LIBOR Tranche Rate; however, Borrowers may request a quote of the prevailing Daily LIBOR Rate, or a selected LIBOR Tranche Rate, on any Business Day.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.6(a) to the contrary, if Agent determines, at any time, in good faith that (A) deposits in Dollars are not available in the London interbank market or (B) by reason of: (1) national or international financial, political or economic conditions or (2) any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect or the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or compliance by a Lender with any request or directive of such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including exchange controls, (I) it is impracticable, unlawful or impossible for Lenders to maintain loans at an interest rate based on the LIBOR Tranche Rate or the Daily LIBOR Rate, (II) adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBOR Rate Loans, or (III) the LIBOR Tranche Rate or the Daily LIBOR Rate determined by Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loans (including inaccurate or inadequate reflection of actual costs resulting from the calculation of rates by reporting sources), then Agent will give Borrowers prompt written notice thereof (and will thereafter give Borrowers prompt notice of the cessation, if any, of such condition), and, so long as such condition remains in effect as determined by Agent, the obligations of Lenders to make or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans will terminate, and the Loans will bear interest from and after such date at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Prime Rate Margin. Moreover, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.6(a)(iv) to the contrary, if any individual Lender determines in good faith that it is unlawful under applicable law to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the affected Lender (the “Affected Lender”) will provide prompt written notice to Borrowers and (x) the Affected Lender’s commitment hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans and continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such will thereupon terminate and (y) the Affected Lender’s Revolving Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, will automatically bear interest from and after such date at a floating rate equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Prime Rate Margin on the respective last days of the then current LIBOR Tranche Period (or immediately as to Daily LIBOR Rate Loans) with respect to such Revolving Loans. Borrowers, so long as no Event of Default then exists, may: (A) request Agent to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify a replacement Lender or financial institution satisfactory to Borrowers to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of all of such Affected Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans and commitments to make LIBOR Rate Loans (a “LIBOR Replacement Lender”), provided that Agent will have no duty to undertake a formal syndication or any underwriting obligations of any nature with respect to any proposed LIBOR Replacement Lender requested by Borrowers; (B) request one or more of the other Lenders to acquire and assume all or part of such Affected Lender’s LIBOR Loans and commitment to make LIBOR Loans; or (C) designate a LIBOR Replacement Lender. Any such designation of a

Replacement LIBOR Lender under clause (A) or (C) shall be subject to the prior consent of Agent. Borrowers and Lenders further acknowledge that Agent assumes no responsibility for ensuring that Agent will be able to locate any LIBOR Replacement Lender or that any Person designated as a LIBOR Replacement Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement. If Agent gives notice to such Affected Lender that a LIBOR Replacement Lender has been obtained, then such Affected Lender must immediately sell all of such Affected Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the LIBOR Rate Loans and commitment to make LIBOR Rate Loans for an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of the LIBOR Rate Loans held by such Affected Lender plus all accrued interest and fees then due to such Affected Lender as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Interest Payments. Subject to Section 2.6(c) with respect to interest at the Default Rate, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of each Loan, all accrued interest on all: (i) Daily LIBOR Rate Loans in arrears on the first day of each calendar month occurring after the Closing Date, beginning on August 1, 2010, (ii) LIBOR Tranche Rate Loans in arrears on the last day of each applicable LIBOR Tranche Period, and (iii) in the event the Revolving Loans are accruing interest based upon the Prime Rate, in arrears on the first day of each calendar month occurring after the Revolving Loans begin accruing interest based upon the Prime Rate.

(c) Default Rate. At the option of Agent or at the discretion of Requisite Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the outstanding principal and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, the Letter of Credit Obligations, as well as any other Obligations due Lenders or Agent hereunder or under any Loan Document, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date on which such Event of Default shall have occurred to the date on which such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured without any notice to Borrowers or other action on the part of Agent or any Lender. All such interest shall be payable on demand and shall be in addition to such other and further rights and remedies as provided by law or under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 2.7 Repayments and Prepayments of Principal.

(a) Repayments on the Revolving Loans; Interim Advances and Agent Advances. Subject to the payment of a LIBOR Prepayment Fee, as applicable, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, Borrowers shall have the right to repay the principal of the Revolving Loans in full or in part at any time and from time to time without any penalty or premium. Borrowers hereby promise to pay the entire outstanding principal balance of each Interim Advance, and each Interim Advance shall be due and payable, on the earliest to occur of (i) the next succeeding Settlement Date following such Interim Advance (subject to the settlement thereof by Lenders as provided in Section 2.4(c)), (ii) the Termination Date, or (iii) the date the Interim Advances are due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2. Borrowers hereby jointly and severally promise to pay the entire outstanding principal balance of each Agent Advance, and each Agent Advance shall be due and payable, on demand by Agent.

(b) Deficiency Paydowns. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither any of the Lenders nor LC Issuer shall be obligated to make any Loan, any advance of credit or issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such Loan, advance or Letter of Credit, a Deficiency would occur unless the Deficiency results from an Overadvance elected, subject to Section 12.4(a), to be made by Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b). If, as at any time, a Deficiency occurs or exists, Borrowers will immediately, without demand or notice, reduce the sum of the then outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans so that a Deficiency no longer exists; however, if such Deficiency was caused solely by the good faith exercise of Agent’s discretion (i) under clause (b)(x) of the definition of Eligible Inventory as a Discretionary Ineligible Inventory Determination; (ii) under clause (b)(xv) of the definition of Eligible Receivables as a Discretionary Ineligible Receivables Determination; (iii) as the implementation of any Discretionary Reserves; or (iv) under Section 2.13(a), Borrowers shall, within five Business Days after the occurrence of such Deficiency, reduce the then outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans so that such Deficiency shall no longer exist. Any payments made by Borrowers in respect of a Deficiency will be applied to the Revolving Loans until a Deficiency no longer exists.

(c) Prepayments from Extraordinary Dispositions or Casualty Loss; Other Extraordinary Payments. Promptly upon receipt by any one or more Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower of any Net Proceeds from a Casualty Loss, an Extraordinary Disposition, a Tax Refund, or a cash dividend or cash distribution to a Borrower from a Person (net of any taxes paid or payable as a result of any such cash dividend or cash

distribution after taking into account any available tax credits or deductions in any tax sharing arrangements), the Net Proceeds will be paid to Agent. Promptly upon receipt by any one or more Borrower or any Subsidiary of a Borrower of any Net Proceeds from an Equity Issuance, 25% of the Net Proceeds will be paid to Agent. The Net Proceeds paid to Agent in accordance with this Section 2.7(c) will be applied to the Loans and the other Obligations as contemplated in Section 2.7(e), with any excess, if any, being deposited into the Operating Account.

(d) Maturity. The Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. All Loans and any other Obligations shall, if not sooner repaid as provided in this Agreement, be absolutely and unconditionally due and payable in full by Borrowers on, and all Letters of Credit shall (without limiting the generality of Section 2.3(b)) expire by no later than, the Termination Date.

(e) Application of Proceeds. With respect to mandatory prepayments described in Sections 2.7(c), such prepayments shall: (i) first, be applied to the remaining installments of principal under the Term Loan, in the inverse order of maturity, until the Term Loan has been paid in full, (ii) second, be applied to cash collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations if a Default shall then exist; and (iii) third, after all Letter of Credit Obligations are fully cash collateralized in accordance with the preceding clause (i), be applied in repayment of the Revolving Loans (including any Interim Advances, Agent Advances or Overadvances); provided that, with respect to Net Proceeds received in connection with an Equity Issuance, such Net Proceeds shall be applied in the following order: (A) first, in repayment of the Revolving Loans (including any Interim Advances, Agent Advances or Overadvances), (B) second, be applied to cash collateralize outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations if a Default shall then exist; and (C) third, after all Letter of Credit Obligations are fully cash collateralized in accordance with the preceding clause (B), be applied to the remaining installments of principal under the Term Loan, in the inverse order of maturity, until the Term Loan has been paid in full. Nothing in this Section 2.7 shall be construed to constitute Agent’s or any Lender’s consent to any transaction that is not expressly permitted by other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(f) LIBOR Prepayment Fee. If (i) Borrowers fail to borrow a LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan that is the subject of a LIBOR Tranche Election or (ii) except for payments required by Section 2.2(d) of this Agreement, Agent or Lenders receive or recover, whether by voluntary or mandatory prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, all or any part of a LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan prior to the last day of the applicable LIBOR Tranche Period, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, in addition to any other Obligations, a LIBOR prepayment fee (a “LIBOR Prepayment Fee”) in an amount equal to the “interest differential amount” as described below; provided that if the “interest differential amount” is a negative number, then there shall be no LIBOR Prepayment Fee. The “interest differential amount” shall be determined by (A) multiplying (1) the difference between the LIBOR Tranche Rate used in determining the then effective LIBOR Tranche-Based Rate for the applicable LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan and the then current “bid side” reinvestment LIBOR Rate as of the date of determination by (2) the amount of the LIBOR Tranche Rate Loan which Borrowers have prepaid or failed to borrow, and (B) multiplying the product determined in (A) above by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining through the last day of the applicable LIBOR Tranche Period, and the denominator of which is 360.

Section 2.8 Payments and Computations.

(a) Time and Place of Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each payment to be made by Borrowers to Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be made directly to Agent, at Agent’s Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time), on the due date of each such payment in immediately available and freely transferable funds and all payments so received by Agent in such immediately available and freely transferable funds shall be credited to Borrowers’ loan account on such date. Agent will promptly cause to be distributed to each Lender in immediately available and freely transferable funds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such payment received by Agent. In order to cause timely payment to be made to Agent of all Obligations as and when due, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, at Agent’s option, to charge the Operating Account or any other account of any Borrower at Fifth Third or charge or increase the Revolving Loans (as Daily LIBOR Rate Loans) for the payment or repayment of any interest or principal of the Loans (including any Letter of Credit Obligations) or any fees, charges, expenses, or other amounts due to Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the other Lenders under the Loan Documents and the other Obligations.

(b) Application of Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the funds received by Agent with respect to the Obligations shall be applied as follows:

(i) No Default. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Loans, in the following manner: subject to Section 2.4, Section 2.7 and except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders and as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, aggregate principal and interest payments received by Agent in finally collected funds on account of the Loans, other than Interim Advances and Agent Advances held solely by Agent, shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account) shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee or expense relates.

(ii) Default. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Loans, all payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments and all proceeds of Loan Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied as follows:


	(A) first, to pay any Agent Advances or Interim Advances, interest, fees, expenses or indemnities due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full;

	(B) second, to pay any Letter of Credit Obligations, fees, expenses or indemnities then due to LC Issuer under the Loan Documents, until paid in full;

	(C) third, to pay any expenses or indemnities then due to any or all of Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full;

	(D) fourth, to pay any fees then due to any or all of Lenders under the Loan Documents, including fees and premiums with respect to any Rate Management Agreement with a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender), until paid in full;

	(E) fifth, to pay interest due to any or all of Lenders under the Loan Documents in respect of the Obligations and, with respect to any Rate Management Agreement with a Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender), any premiums, scheduled periodic payments and any interest thereon;

	(F) sixth, to pay any other Obligations (other than those set forth in clauses (G) and H) due to Lenders until paid in full, including principal of the Loans, ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares;

	(G) seventh, with respect to any Rate Management Agreement with a Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender, to pay any breakage, termination, close-out or like payment due under such Rate Management Agreement to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;

	(H) eighth, any Leasing Obligations (as defined in the definition of Obligations) owing to Fifth Third or its Affiliates; and

	(I) ninth, to Borrowers or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

Agent will distribute to each Lender at its address set forth on the applicable signature page of this Agreement, or at any other address as a Lender may request in writing, the amount of funds as such Lender may be entitled to receive in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the settlement procedures set forth in Section 2.4.

(c) Payments on Business Days. If any sum would (but for the provisions of this Section 2.8(c)) become due and payable to Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender by Borrowers under any of the Loan Documents

on any day which is not a Business Day, then such sum shall become due and payable on the Business Day next succeeding the day on which such sum would otherwise have become due and payable hereunder or thereunder, and interest payable to Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall continue to accrue and shall be adjusted by Agent accordingly.

(d) Computation of Interest. All computations of interest payable under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents shall be computed by Agent on the basis of the actual principal amount outstanding on each day during the payment period and shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such period for which interest is being charged, predicated on a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. The daily interest charge shall be one-three hundred sixtieth (1/360) of the annual interest amount. Each determination of any interest rate by Agent pursuant to this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. Absent manifest error, a certificate or statement signed by an authorized officer of Agent shall be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Obligations due and unpaid as of the date of such certificate or statement.

Section 2.9 Payments to be Free of Deductions. Each payment to be made by Borrowers to Agent or any Lender under this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be made in accordance with Section 2.8, without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and without any deduction of any kind for any Taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any political subdivision or any taxing or other authority therein, unless Borrowers are compelled by law to make any such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation to deduct or withhold is imposed upon Borrowers with respect to any such payment payable by Borrowers to Agent or any Lender, (i) Borrowers shall be permitted to make the deduction or withholding required by law in respect of the said payment and (ii) there shall become and be absolutely due and payable by Borrowers to Agent, LC Issuer or such Lender on the date on which the said payment shall become due and payable, and Borrowers hereby promise to pay to Agent, LC Issuer or such Lender on such date, such additional amount as shall be necessary to enable Agent, LC Issuer or such Lender to receive the same net amount which Agent, LC Issuer or such Lender would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed by law. Anything in this Section 2.9 to the contrary notwithstanding, the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 shall not apply in the case of any deductions or withholdings made in respect of Taxes charged upon or by reference to the overall net income, profits or gains of Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender. Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in withholding Tax under the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Borrowers (with a copy to Agent), at the times prescribed by applicable law, properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

Section 2.10 Use of Proceeds.

(a) Permitted Uses of Loan Proceeds. Borrowers represent, warrant and covenant to Agent and each Lender that all Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely for (i) Refinancing existing Indebtedness as of Closing Date and (ii) general corporate (and limited liability company) and working capital purposes.

(b) Prohibited Uses. Borrowers represent, warrant and covenant to Agent and each Lender that no part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used (directly or indirectly) so as to result in a violation under Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose violative of any rule or regulation of such Board.

Section 2.11 Additional Costs, Etc. If any Lender or LC Issuer shall in good faith determine that any future applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any present law or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, to a level below that which such Lender or LC Issuer could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance by any amount deemed by such Lender or LC Issuer to be material and is not otherwise reflected in the interest and other charges payable by Borrowers hereunder, then Borrowers shall pay to

such Lender or LC Issuer, as applicable, upon written demand, setting forth a brief explanation of the amounts demanded, such amount or amounts, in addition to the amounts payable under the other provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, as will compensate such Lender or LC Issuer for such reduction. Determinations by any Lender or LC Issuer of the additional amount or amounts required to compensate such Lender or LC Issuer in respect of the foregoing shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender or LC Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 2.12 Agent, Lender and LC Issuer Statements. A statement signed by an officer of Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer setting forth any additional amount required to be paid by Borrowers to Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer under Sections 2.9 or 2.11, and the computations made by Agent, LC Issuer or such Lender to determine such additional amount or amounts, shall be submitted by Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer to Borrowers in connection with each demand made at any time by Agent (and copies thereof delivered to each other Lender and LC Issuer), such Lender or LC Issuer under either of such Sections. A claim by Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer for all or any part of any additional amounts required to be paid by Borrowers under Sections 2.9 or 2.11 may be made before or after any payment to which such claim relates. Each such statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, constitute conclusive evidence of the additional amount required to be paid to Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer, provided it sets out in reasonable detail the reasons for such notice and the averaging and attribution methods used by Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer to determine the amounts set forth in such notice.

Section 2.13 Advance Rate Changes.

(a) Advance Rate Change. Borrowers acknowledge that Agent, from time to time, may do any one or more of the following in its discretion exercised in good faith: (i) decrease the dollar limits on outstanding advances against the Borrowing Base or percentages applicable to any one or more Inventory or Receivables advance sublimits or implement one or more additional Advance Rates with respect to Inventory or (ii) decrease the Advance Rates if, in either of the foregoing cases (i) and (ii), one or more of the following events occur or conditions exist: (a) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred; (b) with regard to the Receivables Advance Rate, (1) the dilution percentage with respect to Borrowers’ Eligible Receivables (i.e., reductions in the amount of Receivables because of returns, discounts, price adjustments, credit memoranda, credits, contras and other similar offsets) increases by an amount which Agent, in its discretion exercised in good faith, has determined is materially above that which existed as of the Closing Date or (2) the percentage of Receivables which are 90 days or more past the date of the original invoices applicable thereto increases, in comparison to the percentage of Receivables which are within 90 days from the date of the original invoices applicable thereto, by an amount which Agent, in its discretion exercised in good faith, determines is material; or (c) with respect to the Inventory Advance Rate, there occurs a material change, as determined by Agent in its discretion, in the type, quantity, or quality of Borrowers’ Eligible Inventory as the same is constituted on the Closing Date, including, without limitation, a material change, as determined by Lender in its discretion, in the Net Orderly Liquidation Value Percentage of Borrower’s Inventory by the most recent appraisal received and approved by Lender in accordance with Section 3.3.

(b) If, at any time, Agent decreases any of the dollar limits on outstanding advances against the Borrowing Base or percentages applicable to any one or more Inventory or Receivables advance sublimits, implements one or more additional Advance Rates against Inventory, or decreases the Advance Rates from that which, in any case, is expressly stated in clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of the Borrowing Base (i.e., exclusive of those changes which result from the effect of applying applicable eligibility criteria and Reserve Amounts) (a “Stated Advance Rate Change”), Agent will give Borrowers 30 days advance written notice of such Stated Advance Rate Change, unless an Event of Default then exists, in which case Agent will give Borrowers contemporaneous oral or written notice of such Stated Advance Rate Change.

(c) If, at any time, Agent implements Discretionary Reserves (as defined in the definition of Reserve Amount) (“Borrowing Base Reserve Implementation”), Agent will give Borrowers 5 Business Days advance written notice of such Borrowing Base Reserve Implementation unless a Default then exists, in which case Agent will give Borrowers contemporaneous oral or written notice of such Borrowing Base Reserve Implementation.

Section 2.14 Consolidated Borrowings. To induce Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans in the manner set forth in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby represents, warrants, covenants and states to

Lenders that: (i) Borrowers are substantially dependent upon each other for their respective working capital, strategic management, financial needs and technology; (ii) Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a consolidated basis, to the extent(s) possible as if they were merged into a single entity and, consistent with realizing such potential, to make available to Lenders security commensurate with the amount and nature of their aggregate borrowings; (iii) each of Borrowers has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement and that under a joint and several loan facility it is able to obtain financing on terms more favorable than otherwise available to it separately; and (iv) Borrowers have requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the advances contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 2.15 Joint Obligations. The obligations of each of the Borrowers hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain joint, several and primary for all purposes. No Borrower will be or will be deemed to be an accommodation party with respect to any of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates ISA as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing requests for advances of Loans, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Loan Documents which are permitted to be taken by a Borrower. ISA hereby accepts such appointment. Agent and Lenders may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from ISA as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Borrower or Borrowers hereunder to ISA on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by ISA shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

ARTICLE 3
SECURITY; RECEIVABLES AND INVENTORY MATTERS

Section 3.1 Borrower Security Interest. To secure the due and punctual payment, performance and observance of the Obligations, Borrowers shall each grant to Agent and Lenders a first priority Lien on all Loan Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), and, in furtherance thereof, each Borrower has executed and delivered: (a) the Security Documents to Agent, for the benefit of Agent, LC Issuers and Lenders, and (b) without limiting the generality of clause (a), the Pledge Agreement with respect to its Equity Interests in its direct Subsidiaries, and each Borrower agrees to execute and deliver a Pledge Agreement with respect to each Subsidiary acquired by such Borrower hereafter, to Agent, for the benefit of Agent, LC Issuers and Lenders.

Section 3.2 Additional Documents. Borrowers shall take, and shall cause each Subsidiary of a Borrower which is a party to a Loan Document to take, all action necessary or as requested by Agent or any Lender, in the exercise of its discretion in good faith, to cause the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Agent, LC Issuers and Lenders under the Loan Documents to be a perfected first priority Lien in the Loan Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), except for such Loan Collateral in which a first Lien can be perfected only by possession and such possession is not required by Agent.

Section 3.3 Agreements Regarding Inventory. In addition to the Borrowing Base Certificate to be delivered in accordance with this Agreement, Borrowers shall notify Agent promptly of all material returns and recoveries of Inventory. Without obtaining Agent’s prior consent and in compliance with the applicable terms of the Borrower Security Agreement, no Borrower will: (a) accept any returns of Inventory outside the ordinary course of business, (b) except for Inventory delivered to North American Stainless constituting Eligible Inventory, enter into any agreement, practice, arrangement, or transaction under which title to, or ownership of, any Inventory which is being sold by any Borrower is, or purports to be, transferred to, or held by, a Person other than a Borrower before such Inventory is delivered to such Person by a Borrower, (c) make a sale of Inventory to any customer on a ▇▇▇▇-and-hold, guaranteed sale, sale or return, sale on approval, consignment or any other repurchase or return basis, or (d) store any Inventory with, or place any Inventory in the possession or control of, any bailee, processor, warehouseman, consignee or any other Person, not a party to a bailee, warehouseman or similar agreement with Agent, under any arrangement, practice or agreement (oral or written). Nothing permitted by this Section 3.3, however, may be construed to alter in any way the criteria for Eligible Inventory. Each Borrower will undertake a

physical count of its Inventory at least one time each calendar year in accordance with procedures approved by Borrowers’ Accountants and Agent. Whenever an Event of Default exists (and at such other times not more frequently than once per calendar year), Agent may, at the sole expense of Borrowers, obtain appraisals or updates thereof of Borrowers’ Inventory from an appraiser, and prepared on a basis, satisfactory to Agent, such appraisals and updates to include information required by applicable law and regulations and by the internal policies of Agent (including, but not limited to a determination of the Net Orderly Liquidation Value Percentage of Borrowers’ Inventory). The appraisers performing the appraisal and the methods of appraisal used by the appraisers doing the appraisal are subject to Agent’s approval in its discretion exercised in good faith. From and after the date Agent receives and approves the most recent appraisal undertaken pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Net Orderly Liquidation Value Percentage of Borrowers’ Inventory will equal the Net Orderly Liquidation Value Percentage of Borrowers’ Inventory established by the most recent appraisal.

Section 3.4 Receivables; Collection of Receivables.

(a) No Borrower shall backdate, postdate or redate any of its invoices. No Borrower shall make any sales or provide services on extended dating or credit terms beyond that customary in each such Borrower’s industry and consented to in advance by Agent. In addition to the Borrowing Base Certificate to be delivered in accordance with this Agreement, Borrowers shall notify Agent promptly upon any Borrower’s learning thereof, in the event any Eligible Receivable becomes ineligible, for any reason, other than the aging of such Receivable, and of the reasons for such ineligibility to the extent that a Deficiency would result therefrom. Borrowers shall notify Agent promptly of all material disputes and claims with respect to any of such Borrower’s Receivables, and Borrowers shall settle or adjust such material disputes and claims at no expense to Agent or Lenders; however, no Borrower shall, without Agent’s consent, grant (i) any discount, credit or allowance in respect of its Receivables which is outside the ordinary course of business or (ii) any materially adverse extension, compromise or settlement to any customer or account debtor with respect to any then Eligible Receivable. Nothing permitted by this Section 3.4, however, may be construed to alter in any way the criteria for Eligible Receivables.

(b) Upon retrieval of Remittances and other proceeds of Receivables and other Loan Collateral, Agent will deposit the same into a blocked collection, non-interest bearing DDA depository account maintained at Agent or an Affiliate of Agent in accordance with Agent’s (or as applicable, the applicable Agent’s Affiliate’s) policies and procedures, current account number: 7141958806 (the “Cash Collateral Account”). Each Borrower will notify all of its customers and account debtors, which pay their Receivables by electronic funds transfer, to forward all Remittances directly to the Cash Collateral Account by wire transfer or automated clearinghouse funds transfer (ACH) (such notices to be in such form and substance as Agent may require from time to time). If any Borrower should neglect or refuse to notify any such customer or account debtor to pay any Remittance to the Cash Collateral Account, Agent will be entitled to make such notification. Any Remittance or other proceeds of Receivables or other Loan Collateral received by any Borrower shall be deemed held by Borrowers in trust and as fiduciary for Agent, and Borrowers shall utilize Agent’s electronic deposit and cash management system (i.e., remote capture) to deposit such Remittances directly into the Cash Collateral Account. Pending such deposit, no Borrower will commingle any such Remittance or other proceeds of Receivables or other Loan Collateral with any of any Borrower’s other funds or Property, but each Borrower will hold such Remittance separate and apart therefrom in trust for Agent until delivery is made to Agent as described above. Until the Loans have been fully paid and satisfied and this Agreement has terminated, all deposits to the Cash Collateral Account will be Agent’s Property to be applied against the Obligations in the following order (in the absence of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default): (i) first, to the Revolving Loans and (ii) next, to any other Obligations then due and payable in such order and method of application as may be elected by Agent in its discretion exercised in good faith, with any excess funds to be applied in accordance with Section 3.4(c). The Cash Collateral Account will be subject only to the signing authority designated from time to time by Agent, and Borrowers shall have no interest therein or control over such deposits or funds. At all times until the Loans have been fully paid and satisfied and this Agreement has terminated, (A) Agent shall have sole access to the Cash Collateral Account, (B) Borrowers will take all action necessary to grant Agent such sole access, and (C) no Borrower will notify any customer or account debtor to pay any Remittance or Receivable to any place or address other than as set forth in this Section 3.4(b) without Agent’s prior written consent.

(c) Each Business Day, Agent will, or will cause the applicable Agent Affiliate, automatically and without notice, request or demand by any Borrower, in accordance with Agent’s (or as applicable,

the applicable Agent Affiliate’s) automatic sweep program, transfer all collected and available funds in the Cash Collateral Account: (i) for application against the unpaid principal balance of all Daily LIBOR Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans and (ii) to be held in the Cash Collateral Account to the extent of any Revolving Loans which are LIBOR Tranche Rate Loans. If, after such application, there remains excess funds in the Cash Collateral Account (i.e., the unpaid balance of the Revolving Loans is zero except for any LIBOR Tranche Rate Loans for which funds are being held in the Cash Collateral Account as provided above) and a Default or an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, then Agent will deposit such excess funds into the Operating Account upon a Borrower’s request. Pursuant to that automatic sweep program, Agent will either make Revolving Loans to the extent necessary to cover Presentments to the Controlled Disbursement Account or to maintain a minimum collected, positive (i.e., “peg”) balance in the Operating Account of $200,000 at all times; however, in no event will the principal amount of the Revolving Loans advanced pursuant to the herein described automatic sweep program exceed the Revolving Loan Availability. The “peg” balance in the Operating Account will receive a credit in accordance with, and subject to, Agent’s cash management program from time to time in effect to be used solely against Agent’s service charges and costs related to the establishment and maintenance of the Operating Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account, the Cash Collateral Account, the automatic sweep program, and Agent’s and its Affiliates’ treasury and cash management services. Without limitation of the provisions in the Borrower Security Agreement, and without limitation to the provisions relating to the ownership of the Cash Collateral Account and the deposits and funds therein, Agent shall have, and each Borrower hereby grants to Agent, a continuing Lien on all funds held in the Operating Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account and the Cash Collateral Account as security for the Obligations. The Operating Account, Controlled Disbursement Account, and Cash Collateral Account will not be subject to any deduction, set-off, banker’s lien or any other right in favor of any Person other than Agent or an Affiliate of Agent. If any Remittance deposited in the Cash Collateral Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, Agent, in its discretion, may charge the amount of such dishonored or returned Remittance directly against Borrowers and any account maintained by Borrowers with Agent or the applicable Agent Affiliate and such amount shall be deemed part of the Obligations. Neither Agent nor the applicable Agent Affiliate shall be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any error, omission, failure or negligence on the part of Agent or the applicable Agent Affiliate in good faith with respect to the operation of the Operating Account, Controlled Disbursement Account, Cash Collateral Account, or the services to be provided by Agent or the applicable Agent Affiliate under this Agreement except to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct damages, as opposed to any consequential, special or lost profit damages suffered by any Borrower from gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or the applicable Agent Affiliate. Until a payment is received by Agent for Agent’s account in finally collected funds, all risks associated with such payment will be borne solely by Borrowers.

(d) For the purposes of calculating interest, determining Revolving Loan Availability and determining the amount of Eligible Receivables, all Remittances and other proceeds of Receivables and other Loan Collateral deposited into the Cash Collateral Account shall be credited (conditional on final collection) against the outstanding Revolving Loan balance and the then Eligible Receivables as funds become collected and available in accordance with Agent’s funds availability policies from time to time in effect.

(e) From time to time, Agent or the applicable Agent Affiliate may adopt such regulations and procedures and changes it may deem reasonable and appropriate with respect to the operation of the Operating Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account, the Cash Collateral Account, the automatic sweep program and the other services to be provided by Agent or the applicable Agent Affiliate under this Agreement, and such regulations, procedures and changes need not be reflected by an amendment to this Agreement in order to be effective. Agent will give notice of such regulations, procedures and changes to Borrowers in the ordinary course of Agent’s business.

(f) All service charges and costs related to the establishment and maintenance of the Operating Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account, the Cash Collateral Account, and Agent’s and its Affiliates’ treasury and cash management services shall be the sole responsibility of Borrowers and shall be joint and several liabilities of the Borrowers, whether the same are incurred by Agent, Agent’s Affiliates or Borrowers (or any one or more of them), and Agent, in its discretion exercised in good faith, may charge the same against Borrowers (or any one or more of them) and any account maintained by Borrowers (or any one or more of them) with Agent or the applicable Agent Affiliate and the same shall be deemed part of the Obligations.

(g) During the term of this Agreement, Borrowers will continue to obtain and utilize Agent’s then current automated balance and information reporting system in connection with the operation of various cash management systems contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) Any fees, charges or income created by, or resulting from, the cash management or treasury services, the Operating Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account, the Cash Collateral Account, Agent’s and its Affiliates’ treasury and cash management services, and any other accounts to be provided by Agent under or as a result of the application or operation of the terms or conditions of this Section 3.4 are, as among Agent and the Lenders, for the sole benefit and account of Agent.

The requirement of Borrowers to update any Exhibit provided for herein is not, and may not be construed to be, a cure of any Default or Event of Default occurring prior to any such update or existing at the time of any such update without the written waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Requisite Lenders.

(b) At its own cost and expense, Borrowers shall obtain and maintain during the term of this Agreement: (i) insurance against loss, destruction or damage to its or any of its Subsidiaries’ Properties as Agent may require, in the exercise of its discretion in good faith, from time to time to fully protect Agent’s and Lenders’

interests in the Loan Collateral and (ii) insurance against public liability and third party property damage, with such insurance companies, in such amounts and covering such risks as are at all times satisfactory to Agent (it being agreed by Agent that the liability and Property coverages set forth on Schedule 6.2(b) are approved as adequate as of the Closing Date) and naming Agent for the benefit of Agent, LC Issuers and Lenders as lenders’ loss payee and additional insured as its interests may appear. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to Agent upon request insurance certificates or policies evidencing compliance with the above requirements.

If any item of Loan Collateral shall be the subject of a Casualty Loss during the term hereof, each Borrower agrees to proceed diligently and cooperate fully with Agent and Lenders in the recovery of any and all proceeds of insurance applicable thereto, and the carriers named therein are hereby directed by Borrowers to make payment for such loss to Agent, for the benefit of Agent, LC Issuers and Lenders, and not to any Borrower and Lenders jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Borrower and Agent and Lenders jointly, Agent may indorse the name of each Borrower thereon and do such other things as it may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. If there does not exist at that time a Default or an Event of Default which has not been cured by the Borrowers or waived by the Requisite Lenders, then all loss recoveries received by Agent and Lenders pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) upon any such insurance shall be paid by Agent and Lenders to Borrowers so long as such proceeds promptly are reinvested in Borrowers’ businesses in the manner acceptable to Agent. If there does exist at that time a Default or an Event of Default, then such cash resources may be applied and credited by Agent and Lenders to the Obligations, subject to Section 2.8(b). Each Borrower further covenants that it shall require that the insurer with respect to each such insurance policy provide for thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Agent of any cancellation or termination of, or other change of any nature whatsoever in, the coverage provided under any such policy.

(c) ISA has executed and delivered to Agent the Life Insurance Documents for each policy of Life Insurance.

Until the Obligations are fully and finally paid, ISA will not: (A) make or grant any further assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any portion of the Life Insurance or any right or interest therein nor grant or permit to exist any Lien on any portion of the Life Insurance or any right or interest therein except in favor of Agent, (B) make any borrowings or withdrawals of, or accept any loans or advances of, the cash surrender value of any Life Insurance, or (C) make or seek any changes to any of the terms or conditions of any of the Life Insurance.

Section 6.3 Corporate Existence. Other than as permitted by Section 8.3(a), each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall preserve and maintain its existence as a corporation or, as applicable, a limited liability company in good standing under the laws of its state of organization and all of its rights, franchises and privileges as a corporation or, as applicable, limited liability company.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lenders may accompany Agent or any of its field auditors on any such field examinations.

Section 6.5 Compliance with Laws.

(a) Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, regulations and orders pertaining to the operation of its businesses, the noncompliance with which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower will pay before the same become delinquent (i) all Taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its

income or profits or any of its Property and (ii) all other lawful claims which, in each case, if unpaid might become a Lien upon any of its Property except to the extent (a “Contested Claim”): (A) contested in good faith by proper proceedings, (B) with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof, and (C) the continuation of any such contest does not result in any part of the Loan Collateral being made the subject of (1) any proceeding in foreclosure, (2) any levy or execution (which shall not have been stayed or dismissed), (3) any forfeiture, seizure or other loss, or (4) any Lien other than a Permitted Lien. Borrowers shall promptly pay or discharge such Contested Claims, if any, and shall deliver to Agent evidence acceptable to Agent, in the exercise of its discretion in good faith, of such compliance, payment or discharge, if such contest is terminated or discontinued adversely to a Borrower or the conditions set forth in this Section 6.5(a) are no longer met.

(b) Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent and each Lender in the event that any Borrower receives any notice, claim or demand from any Governmental Authority which alleges that any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is in material violation of any of the terms of, or has materially failed to comply with any applicable law, rule, ordinance, code or order issued pursuant to any federal, state or local statute regulating its operation and business, including the Occupational Safety and Health Act, or any Environmental Law.

Section 6.8 Payment of Obligations. Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally covenants, agrees and promises to punctually pay or cause to be paid when due all principal and interest on the Loans, the Letter of Credit Obligations, the Bank Product Obligations, the Rate Management Obligations, and all other Obligations payable hereunder or under any of the other the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms hereunder and thereunder.

Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries will comply with all Licenses and Permits as is necessary under any provision of any applicable law to continue the proper operation of the business and operations of each Borrower, except for such matters of non-compliance which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.11 Employee Benefit Plans. Borrowers and each of their ERISA Affiliates shall promptly pay and discharge all obligations and liabilities arising under ERISA of a character which if unpaid or unperformed would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or result in a Lien upon any of its or their Property.

Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries shall execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, any and all such further assurances and other agreements or instruments, and take or cause to be taken all such other action, as shall be requested by Agent from time to time in the exercise of its discretion in good faith in order to give full effect to any of the Loan Documents.

(b) Agent may exercise any or all of its powers and perform any or all of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents either directly or through its agents, attorneys or contractors.

(c) Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise any discretion or take any action but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, whenever such instructions shall be requested by Agent or required hereunder, or a greater or lesser number of Lenders if so required hereunder, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action (i) which exposes Agent to any liability, (ii) unless Agent has first received such advice or concurrence of the Requisite Lenders as Agent deems appropriate, (iii) unless Agent has been first indemnified to its satisfaction by 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, (iv) which would be inconsistent with Agent’s practice in similar situations when acting solely for its own account, or (v) which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or applicable law.

Payment and performance of the Obligations may be enforced only by the action of Agent, and, except as provided in Section 9.5, no Lender will have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce payment or performance of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents or to realize upon any Loan Collateral, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.

(e) Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by Agent or by any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates from any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Requisite Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Agreement or any other matter except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any Loan Agreement and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instruments, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of Fifth Third, in its capacity as Agent, at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 10.2(e), Agent will (A) promptly provide each Lender with copies (“Agent Materials”) of (1) each audit report of an auditor of Agent and (2) any reconciliations of each Borrower’s Receivables and Inventory requested by a Lender that are in Agent’s possession and (B) make available, on a Lender’s request, the applicable working

papers of Agent’s auditors (to the extent available) for inspection at Agent’s Head Office; provided that each Lender acknowledges and agrees that Agent does not make any representation or warranty as to any of the Agent Materials nor shall Agent be liable for, and is hereby released by each Lender of any claims or damages arising out of, any of the information in any of the Agent Materials.

Section 10.3 Nature of Duties of Agent. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such hereunder or in connection herewith except to the extent caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents a fiduciary relationship or duty in respect of any Lender. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (a) may treat each Lender party hereto as the holder of Obligations until Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer of such Lender’s portion of the Obligations signed by such Lender and in form satisfactory to Agent in the exercise of its discretion in good faith; (b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it or them in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranties or representations to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, to inspect any of the Property (including the books and records) of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, to monitor the financial condition of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to ascertain the existence or possible existence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (f) shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken, or inaction, by Agent upon the instructions of Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 10.2 or refraining to take any action pending such instructions; (g) shall not be liable for any apportionment or distributions of payments made by it pursuant to Section 2.8 absent gross negligence or willful misconduct; (h) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, message, instrument, writing or other communication (which may be by telephone, facsimile, telegram, cable, telex, or electronic mail) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (i) shall not be liable to confirm the satisfaction of any condition set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered solely to Agent; (j) shall not be liable for the value of the Loan Collateral; (k) shall not be liable for any loss or depreciation of, lack of insurance on, or failure to realize on, any Loan Collateral or for the failure or delay in collecting or receiving payment of any sums from a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or for any mistake, omission, or error of judgment in passing upon or accepting any Loan Collateral, or in the making of any examination, or for granting extensions or indulgences to a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries permitted to be made hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents; (l) shall not be liable with respect to the income or withholding Tax status with respect to any interest on, or fees in respect of, the Loans; and (m) may assume that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless Agent has actual knowledge thereof, has received notice from a Borrower or the Accountants stating the nature of the Default or Event of Default, or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature of the Default or Event of Default and that such Lender considers the Default or Event of Default to have occurred and to be continuing.

Section 10.4 Collateral Matters.

(a) Release of Collateral. Lenders and LC Issuer hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Property covered by the Security Documents: (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations (exclusive of any contingent obligations for indemnification for which Agent has not then given notice of a claim thereof against Borrowers); (ii) constituting Property being sold or disposed of as permitted under this Agreement if Borrowers certify to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting Property leased to a Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by such Borrower to be, renewed or extended; (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of any Loan Collateral in connection with any

exercise of remedies of Agent and Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents; (v) constituting Property in which neither any Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates thereof has, at any time, during the term of this Agreement owned any interest; (vi) owned by or leased to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiary which is subject to a purchase money security interest or which is the subject of a Capital Lease, in either case, entered into pursuant to Section 8.11; or (vii) as otherwise authorized by the Requisite Lenders subject to Section 12.4(a). Upon request by Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Property covered by the Security Documents pursuant to this Section 10.4(a).

(b) Confirmation of Authority: Execution of Releases. Upon receipt by Agent of any authorization required by Section 10.4(a)(vii) from the Requisite Lenders of Agent’s authority to release any Liens upon any particular item or types of Loan Collateral and upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written request by a Borrower, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Agent, LC Issuers and Lenders upon such Loan Collateral; provided, however, that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by each Borrower, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Loan Collateral.

(c) Absence of Duty. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender, LC Issuer or any other Person to assure that any Loan Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower, a Subsidiary of any Borrower or any other Person or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent therein have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 10.4 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Loan Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in Loan Collateral as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Lenders.

(d) Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent, for the benefit of Agent, Lenders and LC Issuer, for the purpose of perfecting Liens in Loan Collateral which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Loan Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Loan Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

(e) Return of Proceeds. If after payment and distribution of any amount by Agent to Lenders, any Lender or any other Person, including a Borrower, any creditor of any Borrower, a liquidator, administrator or trustee in bankruptcy, recovers from Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to Agent or disbursed by Agent to Lenders, then Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, shall reimburse Agent for all such amounts.

(f) Agent Advances.

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.4(f) but notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (including under Section 12.4), Agent is hereby authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s discretion, (A) during the existence of an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.1 or 4.2 have not been satisfied, to make Loans to Borrowers on behalf of Lenders which Agent, in its judgment, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Loan Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to collect any of the Obligations, (3) to sell, liquidate, dispose of, or otherwise realize on, any of the Loan Collateral, (4) to preserve, interpret, enforce, or defend any rights or remedies of Agent, Lenders, or any of them, conferred by the Loan Documents, (5) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (6) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and

expenses as described in Section 12.5 (any of the advances described in this Section 10.4(f) being hereinafter referred to as “Agent Advances”); provided that the Requisite Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization contained in this Section 10.4(f) to make the Agent Advances, any such revocation to be in writing and to become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof; and, provided, further, that Agent shall not make Agent Advances for purposes described in clauses (1) through (5) above which would cause the Revolving Loan Availability to be a negative number greater than ($3,000,000). Agent shall promptly notify each Lender in writing of each such Agent Advance. Each Agent Advance will be evidenced solely by entries upon Agent’s books and records;

(ii) Each Agent Advance shall be secured by the Loan Collateral, shall constitute Loans and Obligations, and shall bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Daily LIBOR Rate Revolving Loans; and

(iii) Agent may, by written notice given to Lenders not later than 10:00 a.m. (Cincinnati, Ohio time), on any Business Day, require Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Agent Advances outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Agent Advances in which Lenders will participate and specify in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Agent Advances. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to Agent, for its account, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Agent Advances. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Agent Advances pursuant to this Section 10.4(f) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.4 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender. Agent shall notify Borrowers of any participations in any Agent Advances acquired pursuant to this Section 10.4(f), and thereafter each such Agent Advance shall be due and payable by Borrowers. Thereafter, all payments in respect of each such Agent Advance received by Agent from Borrowers shall be promptly remitted by Agent to Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section 10.4(f) and to Agent, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to Agent if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. The purchase of participations in any Agent Advance pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 10.5 Indemnification. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify Agent (to the extent Agent is not promptly reimbursed by Borrower), in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, interests, actions, judgments and suits of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or relating to any action taken or omitted by Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, interest, actions, judgments or suits to the extent resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and such Lender had no part in such action or omission by Agent and did not receive any benefit from such action or omission by Agent. Without limiting any of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share, as set forth above, of any out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiation, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by Borrowers. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 10.5 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnities and cease to do, or not commence, the acts to be indemnified against, even if so directed by Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, until such additional indemnification is provided.

Section 10.6 Sharing of Funds Received. If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) at any time receives any payment of all or part of its Loans or other Obligations owing to it, any interest on those amounts, or any collateral in respect of any or all of the foregoing (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(h) or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any payment to

or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the other Lender’s Loans or other Obligations owing to it, as the case may be, or any interest on those amounts, the benefited Lender will (a) purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in that portion of each other Lender’s Loans or other Obligations owing to each of them, as the case may be or (b) provide the other Lenders with the benefits of any collateral, or the proceeds of any collateral obtained by the benefited Lender, as is necessary to cause the benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of the applicable collateral or proceeds ratably with each of Lenders; however, if all or any portion of that excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from the benefited Lender, the purchase by the benefited Lender from the other Lenders will be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest unless the benefited Lender is obligated to pay interest to the applicable Person in which case the other Lenders will pay their pro rata share of the interest payment.

Section 10.7 Agent as Lender; Other Relationships. Fifth Third shall have, in its capacity as a Lender, the same obligations and the same rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as it would have were it not also an Agent. Fifth Third and its Affiliates may (a) accept deposits from, lend money to, acquire, hold, and exercise all rights and remedies with respect to any Equity Interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with, each Borrower or any of its Affiliates as if Fifth Third were not performing the duties specified herein, all without any claim of or liability to any Lender and (b) accept fees and other consideration from each Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

Section 10.8 Independent Credit Decisions by Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of and without reliance upon Agent or any of the other Lenders, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of and without reliance upon Agent or any of the other Lenders, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and in determining the compliance or lack thereof by any Borrower and any other Person with any provision of any Loan Document or other document or agreement.

Section 10.9 Resignation of Agent. Agent may resign as the Agent on 30 days advance notice to Lenders, LC Issuer and Borrowers and will resign as the Agent if Fifth Third, in its capacity as a Lender, no longer has any Loans outstanding. If Agent resigns as the Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Requisite Lenders will, within 30 days after notice of Agent’s resignation, appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders, which, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, such successor agent must be approved by Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), whereupon (a) such successor agent will succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, (b) the term “Agent” will mean such successor agent effective on such appointment and approval, and (c) the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent will be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Obligations; however, if a successor agent has not so been appointed within that 30-day period, the retiring Agent will have the right to appoint a successor agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 who will serve as “Agent”. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as the Agent, (i) the provisions of this Section 10 will inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) the retiring Agent will be relieved of all further duties and obligations as the Agent.

Section 10.10 No Third Party Beneficiary. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders, and Borrowers will not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Section 10 except to the extent of the rights granted to Borrower in Section 10.9. In performing its functions and duties as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent acts solely as the representative of Lenders and does not assume and will not be deemed to have assumed any agency obligation toward, or relationship of agency or trust with or for, any Borrower or any Affiliate of a Borrower.

Section 10.11 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 C.F.R. Section 103.121 (as hereafter amended, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any Borrower, its Affiliates or their agents, this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any recordkeeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

Section 10.12 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign Lender that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign county, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign Lender) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA Patriot Act.

ARTICLE 11
CROSS-GUARANTY PROVISIONS OF BORROWERS

Section 11.1 Cross-Guaranty.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, each Borrower (each to be referred to in this Section 11.1 as a “Cross-Guarantor” and collectively as the “Cross-Guarantors”) hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders, the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations of each other Borrower (such Obligations, collectively the “Cross-Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Cross-Guarantor further agrees that the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.

(b) The provisions of this Section 11.1 (this “Cross-Guaranty”) constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Cross-Guarantor waives any right to require Agent or any Lender to ▇▇▇ any Borrower, any Cross-Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) Except as otherwise provided for herein and to the extent provided for herein, the obligations of each Cross-Guarantor hereunder are irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations), including:

(i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise;

(ii) any change in the corporate or, as applicable, limited liability existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower, any other Cross-Guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations;

(iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower, any Cross-Guarantor, or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, or their Property or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower,

any Cross-Guarantor, or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations; or

(iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Cross-Guarantor may have at any time against any Borrower, any Cross-Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(d) The obligations of each Cross-Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Borrower, any Cross-Guarantor or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(e) Further, none of the obligations of any Cross-Guarantor hereunder are or shall be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by:

(i) the failure of Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations;

(iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of Borrowers (or any one or more of them) for all or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations;

(iv) any action or failure to act by Agent or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations; or

(v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Cross-Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Cross-Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations).

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Cross-Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Cross-Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Cross-Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Cross-Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower, any Cross-Guarantor, any other guarantor of any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person. Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower, any Cross-Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person liable on any part of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Borrower, any Cross-Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person liable on any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any such Cross-Guarantor under this Cross-Guaranty except to the extent the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Cross-Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election by Agent even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Cross-Guarantor against any Borrower,

any other guarantor or any other Person liable on any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, as the case may be, or any security.

(g) No Cross-Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Borrower, any Cross-Guarantor, any Person liable on the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, or any collateral, until Borrowers and the Cross-Guarantors have fully performed all their Obligations to Agent and Lenders.

(h) If at any time any payment of any portion of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Cross-Guarantor’s obligations under this Cross-Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not Agent or any Lender is in possession of this Cross-Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Cross-Guarantors forthwith on demand by Agent.

(i) Each Cross-Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each other Borrower’s financial condition and Property, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Cross-Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Cross-Guaranty, and agrees that Agent and Lenders shall not have any duty to advise any Cross-Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding those circumstances or risks.

(j) Agent and Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to Borrowers based on this Cross-Guaranty.

(k) All payments of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Cross-Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any and all present or future Taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, deductions or withholdings of whatever nature imposed by any Governmental Authority with respect to such payments, and any and all liabilities with respect to the foregoing, but excluding franchise Taxes and Taxes imposed on overall net income of Agent and Lenders by the U.S. or the jurisdiction in which Agent or any Lender’s applicable lending installation is located (collectively, “Guaranty Payment Taxes”). If any Cross-Guarantor is required by law to deduct any Guaranty Payment Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to Agent and/or any Lender under this Cross-Guaranty, (i) the sum payable must be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this provision) Agent and Lenders receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Cross-Guarantors must then make such deductions, and must pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) the Cross-Guarantors must furnish to Agent within forty-five days after their due date certified copies of all official receipts evidencing payment thereof.

(l) The provisions of this Cross-Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate or, as applicable, limited liability law, any Insolvency Law or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the Obligations of any Cross-Guarantor under this Cross-Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Cross-Guarantor’s liability under this Cross-Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Cross-Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Cross-Guarantors, Agent, or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Cross-Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Cross-Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of Lenders and Agent to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Cross-Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the Obligations of any Cross-Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Cross-Guarantor agrees that the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Cross-Guarantor without impairing this Cross-Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of Agent and each Lender hereunder; provided that nothing

in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Cross-Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

(m) The maximum aggregate liability of the Credit Parties under this Cross-Guaranty is $48,800,000. In addition to such maximum aggregate liability, Credit Parties shall be liable under this Cross-Guaranty for interest accruing on the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations and fees, charges, and costs of collecting the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. This Guaranty shall terminate on the Stated Termination Date; provided, however, that if this Cross-Guaranty terminates at a time as of when the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations have not been paid in full, such termination shall not affect each Credit Party’s liability with respect to (i) Cross-Guaranteed Obligations created or incurred prior to such date, or (ii) extensions or renewals of, interest accruing on, or fees, costs or expenses incurred with respect to, the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations on or after said date. For purposes of this provision, the outstanding balance of the Notes as of said date of termination shall be deemed to be the amount of the Notes which is used to calculate the aggregate amount of Cross-Guaranteed Obligations on such date and at all times thereafter. This Section 11.1(m) is included as a precaution in the event that notwithstanding the intentions of the parties as expressed in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Cross-Guaranty is determined to be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. If, in accordance, with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, this Cross-Guaranty is governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, this Section 11.1(m) shall be disregarded and of no force or effect.

(n) In the event any Cross-Guarantor (a “Paying Cross-Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Cross-Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Cross-Guaranty, each other Cross-Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Cross-Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Cross-Guarantor. For purposes of this Section 11.1, each Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor’s “Pro Rata Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Cross-Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor from a Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Cross-Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Cross-Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Cross-Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Cross-Guarantors from a Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this Section 11(n) shall affect any Cross-Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Cross-Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Cross-Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Cross-Guaranty from a Non-Paying Cross-Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment to Agent and Lenders in full in cash of the Cross-Guaranteed Obligations. This Section 11(n) is for the benefit of both Agent, Lenders and the Cross-Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

(o) The liability of each Borrower as a Cross-Guarantor under this Section 11.1 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all Indebtedness of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any liabilities of the other Borrowers, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

	(iii)	If to a Lender, at such address set forth on Schedule 1.1;

or to such other addresses or by way of such other fax numbers as any party hereto shall have designated in a written notice to the other parties hereto; provided, that (A) notice given to Borrowers’ Counsel is not deemed notice to Borrowers and (B) Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to deliver any notice to Borrowers’ Counsel will not affect the validity or effectiveness of any notice or notification given to Borrowers.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been duly given or made and to have become effective (i) when delivered in hand to the party to which it is directed, or (ii) if sent by regularly scheduled overnight delivery service or by telecopy, when received by the addressee; or (iii) if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date of mailing, whichever of (i), (ii) or (iii) shall be the earliest.

(c) Agent may, in its discretion, elect, from time to time, to receive certain routine information, including reports, otherwise required by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (“Reports”) from Borrowers via electronic mail transmission (“e-mail”). Agent will designate from time to time its e-mail address to Borrowers (the “Agent email Address”). All e-mail transmissions of Reports from a Borrower shall contain the information as specified in this Agreement, shall be formatted or displayed in a manner and order substantially similar to that shown in this Agreement or otherwise required by Agent and shall conform to the specifications described in this Agreement. Borrowers will be solely responsible for the confidentiality of the

contents of e-mail transmissions during transmission to the Agent E-mail Address, as Borrowers acknowledge that none of Agent or any Lender is responsible for any compromise of data transmitted across public computer networks or telecommunications facilities, including the Internet. Borrowers will be responsible for the accuracy of all information provided to Agent via e-mail transmission to the Agent E-mail Address, and any information so received by Agent will be deemed to have been submitted by and received from Borrowers. In the event of a failure of the transmission of the Reports, it is the responsibility of Borrowers to transmit the contents of any pending transmission to Agent using an alternative method which is timely and in accordance with this Agreement. Borrowers agree that, by sending Agent the Reports via e-mail transmission, Borrowers are certifying the truthfulness and accuracy of the Reports submitted each and every time a Borrower sends Agent the Reports. Borrowers further agree that, on each occasion when a Borrower sends Agent e-mail transmissions containing Reports, Borrowers are warranting and representing to Agent the truthfulness and accuracy of the representations and warranties relevant to that Report set forth in the relevant Loan Document. Borrowers consent to and represent that it is each Borrower’s intent that, by a Borrower’s insertion of a Borrower’s name in the subject line of the transmitting e-mail, or on the Reports (including the header and/or the certification line), Borrowers intend such to constitute a legally binding and enforceable signature of a Borrower, and in all aspects the legal equivalent of a Borrower’s handwritten signature.

Section 12.3 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made by or on behalf of a Borrower in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Agent, each Lender and LC Issuer notwithstanding any investigation made by Agent, any Lender and LC Issuer and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of each of the Loans.

Section 12.4 Amendment, Waivers and Consents.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 12.4, no amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by a Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Requisite Lenders (or Agent with the consent in writing of the Requisite Lenders) and Borrowers and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment, waiver or other modification with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, without the consent of all Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender):

(i) increase the Term Loan Commitment;

(ii) reduce the rate (other than as expressly provided with respect to a change in Applicable Daily LIBOR Rate Margin, Applicable LIBOR Tranche Rate Margin or Applicable Prime Rate Margin or the imposition of the Default Rate) or extend the time of payment of interest or fees payable to Lenders pursuant to any Loan Document;

(iii) (A) postpone any regularly scheduled payment of principal of any Loan or (B) reduce or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or other Obligation (other than a Rate Management Obligation or a Bank Product Obligation);

(iv) extend the final maturity of any Loan to a date after the Stated Termination Date;

(v) amend Sections 2.8(b)(ii) or 4.2;

(vi) amend this Section 12.4(a), the definition of Requisite Lenders or any provision of this Agreement which requires consent or action of all Lenders for action thereunder;

(vii) increase the Receivables Advance Rate, the Inventory Advance Rate, or the Inventory sublimit stated, in each case, to be the maximum thereof in the definition of “Advance Rate” or “Borrowing Base” on the Closing Date exclusive of any increase which, in any instance, may result from a Permitted Overadvance);

(viii) permit the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; or

(ix) except as provided in Section 10.4 or any Security Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.4(a), Agent will have the right, in its discretion and without the consent of any Lender, to make Overadvances from time to time on behalf of all of Lenders so long as each Overadvance is not for a period longer than 60 days and all Overadvances outstanding as of any date do not exceed an amount equal to $3,000,000 in the aggregate (Overadvances meeting those conditions being, “Permitted Overadvances”); provided that the Requisite Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization contained in this Section 12.4(a) to make Overadvances, any such revocation to be in writing and to become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to Agent shall be effective without the written consent of Agent. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of LC Issuer. No amendment of the amount of any Lender’s Commitment shall be effective without the written consent of such Lender. In each case above, the required consent of all or any of the Lenders shall be exclusive of a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.4(a), for purposes of this Section 12.4, a waiver, amendment, supplement, or modification of a Rate Management Agreement or an agreement or instrument pertaining to any Bank Product Obligations, if between a Borrower and any Lender, will only be done with the consent of such Borrower and the Lender party thereto notwithstanding that such Rate Management Agreement or agreement or instrument pertaining to any Bank Product Obligations is a Loan Document. Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (I) each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of The Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., as amended, supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (II) the Requisite Lenders may consent to allow Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries to use cash collateral in the context of a Bankruptcy Case.

(b) If (i) Agent requests a Lender’s written consent to any proposed waiver (including any waiver of any Event of Default), amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents pursuant to Section 12.4(a) or for any other matter relating to the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents and (ii) such Lender does not notify Agent of such Lender’s refusal to grant the consent requested by Agent within 10 Business Days after receipt of Agent’s request for such Lender’s consent, then such Lender’s consent will be treated as having been granted unless such amendment, supplement or modification would require the consent of all Lenders, and Agent and the other Lenders will thereafter be permitted to take the actions described in the request for consent as though such Lender had affirmatively consented to the requested actions.

(c) If (i) Agent requests a Lender’s written consent to any proposed waiver (including any waiver of any Event of Default), amendment, supplement or modification of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents pursuant to Section 12.4(a) or for any other matter relating to the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents and (ii) such Lender refuses to give its consent, Agent, at its option, may, at any time within forty five 45 days after such Lender notifies Agent of Lender’s refusal to grant the requested consent, acquire on notice to the applicable Lender (a “Buy-Out Notice”) all, but not less than all, of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans by paying to that Lender an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans held by that Lender plus all accrued interest and fees (exclusive of any prepayment fee) then due to such Lender as set forth in this Agreement. From and after the date on which Agent delivers a Buy-Out Notice to the Lender, (A) Agent shall be irrevocably obligated to purchase such Lender’s Loans, Letter of Credit participations and Commitments within such 45-day period as provided in this Section 12.4(c) and the terms of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance executed in connection therewith and (B) Agent and other Lenders may amend, modify, and supplement the Loan Documents or waive any of the provisions of the Loan Documents (including any Event of Default), or all of the foregoing, as though the non-consenting Lender had, in fact, affirmatively consented to the requested actions.

Section 12.5 Costs, Expenses, Taxes and Indemnification.

(a) Borrowers, jointly, severally, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally hereby agree to pay to Agent, for the respective account of Agent, each Lender and LC Issuer, upon demand by Agent, any Lender

or LC Issuer at any time and as often as the occasion therefor may require, whether or not all or any of the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents are ultimately consummated: (i) all reasonable out-of—pocket costs and expenses which shall at any time be incurred or sustained by Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents as a consequence of, on account of, in relation to or any way in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, and performance of the Loan Documents and the perfection and continuation of the rights of Lenders, LC Issuer and Agent in connection with the Loans, as well as the on-going administration of the Loans, any transactions contemplated hereby or consummated hereunder, and the preparation, negotiation, execution, or delivery or in connection with the amendment or modification of any of the Loan Documents or as a consequence of, on account of, in relation to or any way in connection with the granting by Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer of any consents, approvals or waivers under any of the Loan Documents, including Attorneys’ Fees and disbursements and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses which shall be incurred or sustained by Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents as a consequence of, on account of, in relation to or any way in connection with the exercise, protection or enforcement (whether or not suit is instituted) of any of its rights, remedies, powers or privileges under any of the Loan Documents after the occurrence of an Event of Default or in connection with any litigation, proceeding or dispute in any respect related to any of the relationships under, or any of the Loan Documents (including all of the reasonable fees and disbursements of consultants, legal advisers, accountants, experts and agents for Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer, the reasonable travel and living expenses away from home of employees, consultants, experts or agents of Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer, and the reasonable fees of agents, consultants and experts not in the full-time employ of Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer for services rendered on behalf of Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer), provided that Borrowers will not be obligated to reimburse Agent, a Lender or LC Issuer for any such cost or expense to the extent such cost or expense results from a breach by Agent, a Lender or LC Issuer of their respective express obligations under this Agreement or the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of Agent, a Lender or LC Issuer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.5, in connection with each field examination or verification by Agent of any of the Loan Collateral or Borrowers conducted after the Closing Date, Borrowers will pay to Agent either: (i) a fee at the then current rate (currently $850.00) per day (based on an 8 hour day plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including travel, lodging and meals) per auditor or field examiner for the services of Agent’s auditors and field examiners or (ii) the out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses paid to third party auditors which conduct the field examination or verification; however, unless an Event of Default has occurred, Agent shall not seek reimbursement from Borrowers for more than a total of two periodic, repeat audits (i.e., exclusive of any new business audit) undertaken by Lender’s auditors or field examiners of Borrower (including of the Loan Collateral) during (A) the period commencing on the Closing Date through, and including, the first anniversary of the Closing Date or (B) each twelve-month period commencing after the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b) Each Borrower jointly, severally, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the Agent, each Lender and LC Issuer harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, causes of action, damages, losses, settlement payments, obligations, costs, expenses and all other liabilities whatsoever, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AS A RESULT OF AGENT’S, ANY LENDER’S, OR LC ISSUER’S OWN NEGLIGENCE (collectively, “Indemnified Liabilities”), which shall at any time or times be incurred or sustained by the Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer or by any of their shareholders, directors, officers, employees, Subsidiaries, Affiliates or agents on account or in relation to, or in any way in connection with, any of the arrangements or transactions contemplated by, associated with, arising out of, or ancillary to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the Loan Collateral, whether or not all or any of the transactions contemplated by, associated with or ancillary to this Agreement or any of such Loan Documents are ultimately consummated; provided, however, that Borrowers will not be obligated to indemnify any indemnified party in accordance with this Section 12.5(b) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities resulted from a breach by such indemnified party of its express obligations under this Agreement, or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified party. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.5(b) THAT APPLY TO, AND BORROWERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO, ANY INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES (AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 12.5(b)) THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM OR ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OR THE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF AGENT, LC ISSUER OR ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PARTY UNDER THIS SECTION 12.5(b).

(c) Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that any sums expended by Agent, any Lender and LC Issuer for which Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to this Section 12.5 shall be due and payable (i) absent the existence of an Event of Default, within three (3) Business Days after request for payment by Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer or (ii) during the existence of an Event of Default, upon the demand of Agent, any Lender or LC Issuer, and any such sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such payment is due until the date such payment is made in full to Agent, such Lender or LC Issuer.

Section 12.6 Confidentiality. Each Agent and Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of Borrowers (other than to Agent’s or a Lender’s employees, auditors, advisors, consultants, Affiliates and counsel or to another Lender if the disclosing Lender or such disclosing Lender’s holding or ISA company in its good faith judgment determines that any such party should have access to such information) any information with respect to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent and in the manner such information is kept confidential in accordance with Agent’s or a Lender’s privacy policies and procedures with respect to its customers generally or as mandated by applicable law, provided that Agent and any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to or examination conducted by any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender, (c) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any requirement of applicable law, (e) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that each such prospective or actual transferee or participant agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 12.6, (f) to other financial institutions or investment funds with respect to which Agent or the respective Lender has a contractual relationship in accordance with Agent’s or such Lender’s regular banking procedures, provided that each such other financial institution or investment fund agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 12.6, (g) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information regarding Agent’s or the respective Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with such rating agency’s issuance of ratings with respect to Agent or such Lender, provided that Agent and such Lender advises such rating agency of the confidential nature of such information, (h) to respond to routine informational requests in accordance with the Code of Ethics for the Exchange of Credit Information promulgated by The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Associates (or any successor thereto) or other applicable industry standards relating to the exchange of credit information, (i) as may be required or appropriate in connection with protecting, preserving, exercising or enforcing (or planning to exercise or enforce) any of its rights in, under or related to the Loan Collateral or the Loan Documents, and (j) as expressly permitted by this Agreement, including under Sections 12.2(c), 12.7(c) or 12.8(d).

Section 12.7 Binding Effect; Assignments.

(a) The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agent, Lenders and LC Issuer and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Agent, each Lender and LC Issuer, (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.7(b), and (iii) any transfer by participation must be made in compliance with Section 12.8. Any attempted assignment or transfer by any party not made in compliance with this Section 12.7 shall be null and void, unless such attempted assignment or transfer is treated as participation in accordance with Section 12.8. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that Section 12.7(b) relates only to absolute assignments and this Section 12.7 does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including (A) any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank or (B) in the case of a Lender which is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to its trustee in support of its obligations to its trustee; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.7(b)(iii). Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan (or participation in Letters of Credit) or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.7(b)(iii); provided, however, that Agent may in its good faith discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan (or participation in Letters of Credit) or which holds any

Note to direct payments relating to such Loan (or participation in Letters of Credit) or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan (or participation in Letters of Credit) or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (or participation in Letters of Credit), whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan (or participation in Letters of Credit).

(b) (i) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit J (an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”). Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender shall either be in an amount equal to the entire applicable Commitment and Loans and participations in Letters of Credit of the assigning Lender or (unless Agent otherwise consents) be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000. Each assignment shall be on a constant and not varying ratable percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations assigned under this Agreement, and each assignment by a Lender of Loans or Commitments shall be made only if, after giving effect thereto, such Lender continues to hold an equal ratable percentage of each class of all Loans and Commitments under this Agreement. The amount of the assignment shall be based on the Commitment or outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit (if the Commitment has been terminated) subject to the assignment, determined as of the date of such assignment or as of the “Trade Date,” if the “Trade Date” is specified in the assignment.

(ii) The consent of Borrowers shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless (A) the Purchaser is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, (B) a Default has occurred and is continuing or (C) the assignment is being made in connection with a request by Borrower to provide additional financing (either by an increase to the Revolving Commitment or additional term loans) beyond those included in the Loan Documents on or about July 30, 2010. The consent of Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender. The consent of LC Issuer shall be required prior to an assignment of a Revolving Commitment becoming effective unless the Purchaser is a Lender with a Revolving Commitment. Any consent required under this clause (ii) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(iii) Upon (A) delivery to Agent of a duly executed Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with any consents required by this Section, and (B) payment of a $3,500 fee to Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by Agent), such Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall become effective on the effective date specified by Agent in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans or participations in Letters of Credit under the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement constitutes “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party thereto, and the transferor Lender shall be released with respect to the Commitment and Loans and participations in Letters of Credit assigned to such Purchaser without any further consent or action by Borrowers, Lenders or Agent. In the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of, and subject to, those provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which survive payment of the Obligations and termination of the applicable agreement. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.7 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.8. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this clause (iii), the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their respective Commitments, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

(iv) Agent shall maintain at one of its offices in the U.S. a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and participations in Letters of Credit owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Subject to Section 12.6 (including compliance with the proviso set forth in clause (e) thereof), Borrowers hereby authorize Agent and each Lender to disclose to any Purchaser and any prospective Purchaser any and all financial information in Agent’s or such Lender’s possession concerning Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries which has been delivered to Agent or such Lender by a Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents or in connection with Agent’s or such Lender’s credit evaluation of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries or which has been obtained independently by Agent or such Lender in its credit evaluation or audit of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.

Section 12.8 Participations.

(a) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loans (or participations in Letters of Credit) of such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of its Loans (and participations in Letters of Credit) and the holder of any Note issued to it in evidence thereof for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by Borrowers under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.

(b) Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any Loans (or participations in Letters of Credit) in which such Participant has an interest which would require consent of all Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 12.4 or of any other Loan Document.

Section 12.13 Entire Agreement; Integration of Schedules and Exhibits.

Section 12.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one agreement. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to, produce or account for more than one counterpart hereof signed by each of the parties hereto. Any documents may be delivered by, or on behalf of, a Borrower, a Lender, LC Issuer, and Agent by fax transmission or other electronic delivery of an image file reflecting the execution hereof, and, if so signed: (i) may be relied on by each of them as if the document were a manually signed original and (ii) will be binding on each of them for all purposes of the Loan Documents.

Section 12.16 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited and unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.19 Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

If there is any conflict, ambiguity, or inconsistency, in Agent’s judgment, between the terms of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, then the applicable terms and provisions, in Agent’s judgment, providing Agent and Lenders with greater rights, remedies, powers, privileges, or benefits will control.
