2.2                                 Types of Committed Loans.   Each Committed Loan shall be either a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan (each being herein called a “Type of Loan”), as the Borrower shall specify in the related notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3.

2.3                                 Borrowing, Conversion and Continuation Procedures with Respect to Committed Loans.

(a)                                  Each Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type of Loan to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 10:30 a.m., Chicago time (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.  Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Extension of Credit Request, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Extension of Credit Request (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type of Loan to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Loan Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in an Extension of Credit Request or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Loan Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion

19

to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Extension of Credit Request, but fails to specify a Loan Period, it will be deemed to have specified a Loan Period of one month.

(b)                                 Following receipt of an Extension of Credit Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the amount of its Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection.  In the case of a Borrowing, each Bank shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Extension of Credit Request.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article XI (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Article X), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(c)                                  Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of a Loan Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Majority Banks.

(d)                                 The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of the interest rate applicable to any Loan Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e)                                  After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type of Loan to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type of Loan, there shall not be more than ten Loan Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

2.4                                 Availability of Funds.  Unless the Borrower or a Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on a date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (a) in the case of a Bank, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made.   The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption.  If such Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the

20

Administrative Agent the amount so made available, together with interest thereon, in respect of such day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of repayment by a Bank, the Federal Funds Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of repayment by the Borrower, the applicable interest rate otherwise payable by the Borrower in respect of such Loan.

2.5                                 Satisfaction of Conditions.   Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank on or prior to the Borrowing Date of any Loan to be made by such Bank (and before the Administrative Agent has disbursed such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof) that such Bank has determined that the Borrower has failed to meet the conditions specified in Article X (in the case of the initial Extension of Credit) or Article XI with respect to the relevant Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may rely (unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary) upon the certification of the Borrower, with respect to the fulfillment of such conditions precedent, contained in the applicable Extension of Credit Request.

2.6                                 Currency.   All Loans shall be denominated in Dollars.

2.7                                 Increase in Commitments.

(b)                                 Bank Elections to Increase.  Each Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment from the Increase Effective Date until the Commitment Termination Date and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Percentage of such requested increase.  Any Bank not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

(c)                                  Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Banks.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Bank of the Banks’ responses to each request made hereunder.  Thereafter, in order to achieve the full amount of a requested increase following each Bank’s determination of whether to increase its Commitment, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Banks pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

21

(d)                                 Effective Date and Allocations.  If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(e)                                  Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Bank) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article VII and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.7, the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.4 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), of Section 8.1, and (B) no Default exists.  The Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 6.4 together with all accrued interest, fees and other amounts owing hereunder with respect to such prepaid amount) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

22

aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Note.  The failure to so record or any error in so recording any such amount on such schedule shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to repay the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, together with all interest accruing thereon, nor shall such failure or error affect the Borrower’s obligations under any other Loan Document.

3.3                                 Interest Rates.   The Borrower hereby promises to pay interest calculated in Dollars on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan of each Bank for the period from the Borrowing Date for such Loan to the date such Loan is paid in full, as follows:

3.5                                 Setting and Notice of Rates.

3.7                                 Limitation on Interest.  It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower to each Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to such Bank limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such Bank.  Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under any Applicable Law (including the Federal and state laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable) with respect to any Bank, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is agreed as follows:

(a)                                  the following provisions of this Section shall govern and control;

(b)                                 with respect to the Borrower, the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest under Applicable Law that is contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement, or under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise in connection herewith or therewith, by such Bank shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by such Applicable Law (such maximum lawful interest rate, if any, with respect to such Bank herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”), and any excess shall be credited to the Borrower by such Bank (or, if such consideration shall have been finally paid in full, such excess refunded to the Borrower);

(c)                                  all sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to such Bank for the use, forbearance and detention of the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by such Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such indebtedness until payment in full of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest is uniform throughout the full term thereof;

(d)                                 if, with respect to such Bank, at any time the interest provided pursuant to Section 3.3, together with any other fees payable to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and deemed interest under such Applicable Law, exceeds that amount which would have accrued to such Bank at the Highest Lawful Rate, the amount of interest and any such fees to accrue pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be limited, for such Bank, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to that amount which would

24

have accrued at the Highest Lawful Rate, but any subsequent reductions in the amount of such interest and/or fees, as applicable, which would otherwise occur shall not reduce the interest to accrue to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents below the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest accrued pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and such fees deemed to be interest equals the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Bank if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest provided pursuant to Section 3.3 had at all times been in effect plus the amount of fees which would have been received but for the effect of this Section; and

(e)                                  if the total amount of interest paid or accrued for payment by the Borrower together with any other fees payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and deemed interest under Applicable Law, with respect to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents under the foregoing provisions of this Section, is less than the total amount of interest which would have accrued with respect to the Borrower if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest provided pursuant to Section 3.3 had at all times been in effect and all fees provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents had been paid, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Bank, upon demand, an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest and fees which would have accrued with respect to the Borrower if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect, and (B) the amount of interest and fees which would have accrued with respect to the Borrower if a varying rate per annum equal to the interest provided pursuant to Section 3.3 had at all times been in effect and all fees provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents had been paid and (ii) the amount of interest and fees paid by the Borrower in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

ARTICLE IV
REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS;
PREPAYMENTS

4.1                                 Reduction or Termination of the Commitments.  The Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to reduce permanently in part, or to terminate in whole, without penalty or premium, the Total Commitment, upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice (by facsimile or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) received by the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly advise each Bank thereof), which notice shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such reduction or termination and the amount of any partial reduction of the Total Commitment; provided that the Borrower may not reduce the Total Commitment to an amount which is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Loans on the effective date specified in the Borrower’s aforesaid notice.  Any such partial reduction of the Total Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Such partial reduction or termination of the Total Commitment shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s aforesaid notice.  The Borrower may only terminate the Total Commitment upon payment in full of all Aggregate Outstanding Loans and all other Bank Obligations.

25

Any partial reduction of the Total Commitment shall reduce each Bank’s Commitment by an amount equal to such Bank’s pro rata share of the aggregate reduction in the Total Commitment.

4.2                                 Voluntary Prepayments.   The Borrower may, from time to time as hereinafter provided, prepay Base Rate Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, and prepay Eurodollar Rate Loans, in whole or in part, subject to the payments, if any, required by Section 6.4; provided that any such partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate amount of a minimum of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the aggregate principal amount of Loans being prepaid shall accompany such prepayment.  The Borrower shall give notice (by facsimile or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks) of each proposed prepayment hereunder, prior to 10:30 a.m., Chicago time, on the date of such proposed prepayment (or, in the case of a proposed prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, two (2) Business Days before the proposed prepayment date) which notice shall specify the proposed prepayment date (which shall be a Business Day) and the aggregate principal amount of the proposed prepayment.

ARTICLE V
OTHER CREDIT TERMS

5.1                                 Fees; Computation of Fees.

(a)                                  In consideration of the Administrative Agent’s services to be provided in connection herewith, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b)                                 In consideration of the commitment of each Bank to make Committed Loans to the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Bank (to be paid to each Bank by the Administrative Agent in proportion to such Bank’s Commitment) the applicable Facility Fee per annum (computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year) commencing on the Effective Date and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Commitment Termination Date, on the daily average amount of the Total Commitment, determined for the period then ended for which such fee has not theretofore been paid.

(c)                                  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank in accordance with its Percentage, a fee equal in amount to the then applicable Utilization Fee as set forth in the Pricing Matrix (the “Utilization Fee”) times the Aggregate Outstanding Loans on each day that the Aggregate Outstanding Loans exceed 50% of the actual daily

26

amount of the Total Commitment.  The Utilization Fee shall be due and payable quarterly on the Quarterly Payment Dates, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Commitment Termination Date.  The Utilization Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.  The Utilization Fee shall accrue at all times the Aggregate Outstanding Loans exceed 50% of the actual daily amount of the Total Commitment, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article X or Article XI is not met.

5.2                                 Payments.  All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  All payments (including those made pursuant to Section 4.2) of principal of, or interest on, the Loans shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the holders of the relevant Notes.  All payments of the Facility Fee shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Banks pro rata according to their respective Commitments.  All payments of the fees described in the Fee Letter shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Administrative Agent.  All other payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its address specified on Schedule 1(b) (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may have specified for such purpose in a written notice to the Borrower) not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date due; and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Bank in immediately available finds such Bank’s share of all such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank.  All payments under Section 6.1, Section 6.4 or Section 14.5 shall, unless otherwise specified herein, be made by the Borrower directly to the Bank or Banks entitled thereto.

5.3                                 Net Payments; Tax Exemptions.

(a)                                  All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees, indemnities and other amounts payable to any recipient (each, a “Recipient”) hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for or on account of, any present or future Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) now or hereafter imposed on such Recipient or its income, property, assets or franchises (such Recipient’s “Recipient Taxes”), except to the extent that such withholding or deduction (i) is required by Applicable Law, (ii) results from the breach by such Recipient of its Exemption Agreement, if any, (iii) would not be required if such Recipient’s Exemption Representation were true or (iv) would not be required if such Recipient’s appropriate Internal Revenue Service form specified in Section 5.3(b) claiming complete exemption were true and accurate at the time of the delivery thereof.  If any such withholding or deduction is required by Applicable Law, the Borrower will:

(A)                              pay to the relevant authorities the full amount so required to be withheld or deducted when and as the same shall become due and payable to such authorities;

(B)                                promptly forward to the Administrative Agent and each affected Bank an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authorities; and

(C)                                except to the extent that such withholding or deduction (1) is for Excluded Taxes, (2) results from the breach, by a Recipient of its Exemption Agreement,

27

if any, or (3) would not be required if such Recipient’s Exemption Representation were true or (4) would not be required if such Recipient’s appropriate Internal Revenue Service form specified in Section 5.3(b) claiming complete exemption were true and accurate at the time of the delivery thereof, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Recipient such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Recipient will equal the full amount such Recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b)                                 In consideration of the Borrower’s agreements in Section 5.3(a), each Bank which is not a US Person hereby agrees (such Bank’s “Exemption Agreement”), to the extent permitted by Applicable Law (including any applicable double taxation treaty of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or the jurisdiction in which its lending office is located), to execute and deliver to the Borrower, on or about the first scheduled payment date in each Fiscal Year, a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or successor form), as appropriate, properly completed and claiming a complete or partial exemption, as the case may be, from withholding or deduction for or on account of “United States Federal Recipient Taxes” (as defined in the Code) of such Bank.

(c)                                  Each Bank hereby represents and warrants (such Bank’s “Exemption Representation”) to the Borrower that on the date hereof (or in the case of a Purchasing Bank or an assignee pursuant to Section 14.10, on the date on which it becomes a Bank party hereto) its lending office is entitled to receive payments of principal of, and interest on, Loans made by such Bank from such lending office without withholding or deduction for or on account of such Bank’s Recipient Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof.

(d)                                 Upon the request from time to time of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, each Bank that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent one or more (as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI or such other forms or documents, appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish the extent, if any, to which a payment to such Bank is exempt from withholding or deduction of Recipient Taxes.

(e)                                  If any Bank claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty by providing IRS Form W-8ECI and such Bank sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the obligations of the Borrower to such Bank, such Bank agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of such obligations of the Borrower hereunder.  To the extent of such percentage amount, the Administrative Agent will treat such Bank’s IRS Form W-8ECI as no longer valid.

(f)                                    If any Bank claiming exemption from United States withholding tax by filing IRS Form W-8BEN with the Administrative Agent sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the obligations of the Borrower to

28

such Bank hereunder, such Bank agrees to undertake sole responsibility for complying with the withholding tax requirements imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code.

(g)                                 If any Bank is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction.  If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (d) of this Section are not delivered to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Bank not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

(h)                                 If the IRS or any other governmental authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Bank (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Bank failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, together with all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of attorneys for the Administrative Agent (including the allocable costs of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel)).  The obligation of the Banks under this subsection shall survive the repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

5.4                                 Application of Certain Payments.

(a)                                  Prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Pro Rata Distribution Event, each payment of principal shall be applied to such of the Loans as the Borrower shall direct by notice to be received by the Administrative Agent on or before the date of such payment; provided that any Loans of the Borrower maturing the same day shall be paid pro rata among such Loans.  The Administrative Agent shall remit each such payment by the Borrower in accordance therewith ratably among the applicable Banks holding such Loans.  Concurrently with each remittance to any Bank of its share of any such payment, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Bank as to the application of such payment.

(b)                                 Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Pro Rata Distribution Event, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall apply all collections and recoveries of the Loans and the other Bank Obligations hereunder first, to payment of that portion of the Bank Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article VI) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, second, to the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding Loans on a pro rata basis to each Bank based on the respective amounts of such Bank’s principal and accrued interest (whether or not mature and currently payable) and, third, to

29

payment of the remaining outstanding Bank Obligations on a pro rata basis to each Bank based on the respective remaining amounts of such Bank Obligations owed to each Bank (whether or not mature and currently payable).

(c)                                  For purposes hereof, a “Pro Rata Distribution Event” shall mean the first to occur of (i) an Event of Default under Section 12.1(a), Section 12.1(f) or Section 12.1(g) or (ii) any other Event of Default if the Majority Banks shall have notified the Administrative Agent of the occurrence of such Event of Default and shall have instructed the Administrative Agent that payments shall be applied as provided in Section 5.4(b) above.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Bank following the occurrence of a Pro Rata Distribution Event.

(d)                                 The Banks and the Administrative Agent agree that if any distribution shall be made by the Administrative Agent contrary to this Section (whether because the Administrative Agent shall not, at the time of distribution, have been aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or otherwise), the Banks shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent to redistribute payments, collections or recoveries in accordance with this Section.

5.5                                 Offset.  Upon the occurrence of any Default described in Section 12.1(f) or Section 12.1(g), or of any acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 12.2, each Bank is hereby authorized, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law), to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off, to exercise any banker’s lien or any other right of attachment or garnishment and apply any and all balances, credits, deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), accounts or monies at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Bank to or for the account of the Borrower against any and all Bank Obligations held by such Bank (subject to the provisions of Section 13.4), whether or not such Bank has made any demand under or with respect to any of such Bank Obligations and although such Bank Obligations may be unmatured.  Promptly following such action, such Bank shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and each other Bank, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such action.  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, the rights of the Banks under this Section are in addition to, in augmentation of, and do not derogate from or impair, any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which the Banks may have.

ARTICLE VI
COST PROTECTION PROVISIONS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS
FOR.  EURODOLLAR RATE LOANS

6.1                                 Cost Protection.

(a)                                  If (i) Regulation D of the FRB (“Regulation D”), (ii) the adoption after the date hereof of any Applicable Law, (iii) any change after the date hereof in any Applicable Law, (iv) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency

30

charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (v) compliance by such Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency;

(A)                              shall subject any Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank of the principal of or interest on its Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Loans or its obligation to make Loans (except for Excluded Taxes or Recipient Taxes of the type described in clause (ii), clause (iii) and clause (iv) of the first sentence of Section 5.3(a);

(B)                                shall impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment or other charge against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank);

(C)                                shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank); or

(D)                               shall impose on any Bank (or its Eurodollar Office) any other condition affecting its Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or any Eurodollar Office of such Bank) of making or maintaining or issuing its Commitment or any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Eurodollar Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes then, within ten (10) days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such cost, increased cost or such reduction.

(b)                                 If any Bank shall reasonably determine that the application or adoption after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation, directive, interpretation, treaty or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof after the date hereof, whether or not having the force of law increases the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Bank, or any corporation controlling such Bank, and such increase is based solely upon the existence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder, by an amount deemed by such Bank in its sole discretion to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand from such Bank, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such amount or amounts as will fairly compensate such Bank for such increased capital requirement.  The determination of any amount to be paid by the Borrower under this Section shall take into consideration the policies of such Bank, or any corporation controlling such Bank, with respect to capital adequacy and shall be based upon any reasonable averaging, attribution and allocation methods.  A certificate of such Bank setting forth the amount or amounts as shall be

31

necessary to compensate such Bank as specified in this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c)                                  Promptly after any Bank becomes aware of any event that would entitle it to compensation under Section 6.1 (a) or Section 6.1(b), such Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent, which shall advise the Borrower thereof; provided that if any Bank fails to notify the Administrative Agent within 180 days of its actual knowledge of any such event (the “Notice Date”), the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amounts accruing during the period from the Notice Date until the date of delivery of such notice; provided, further, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to pay such additional amounts accrued prior to the Notice Date or after delivery of such notice.

6.2                                 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.  If with respect to any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof:

(a)                                  the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties hereto) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to Eurodollar Rate Loans; or

(b)                                 the Majority Banks advise the Administrative Agent that the interest rate applicable hereunder to any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of maintaining or funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan for such Loan Period, or that the making or funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date hereof which in the opinion of such Banks materially affects such Loans,

then (i) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Bank thereof, and (ii) so long as such circumstances shall continue, no Bank shall be under any obligation to make, convert or continue the Eurodollar Rate Loans.

6.3                                 Changes in Law Rendering Certain Eurodollar Rate Loans Unlawful.   In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new) Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation of any Applicable Law by any judicial, governmental or other regulatory body charged with the interpretation, implementation or administration thereof, should make it (or in the good-faith judgment of an Affected Bank should raise a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for such Affected Bank to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, then (a) such Affected Bank shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto, (b) the obligation of such Affected Bank to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, upon the effectiveness of such event, be suspended for the duration of such unlawfulness, and (c) if the Affected Bank so requests, the Borrower shall, on such date as may be required by the relevant Applicable Law, repay or prepay all then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans made to the Borrower by such Affected Bank together with accrued interest thereon and all amounts then due, if any, under Section 6.4.

32

6.4                                 Funding Losses.   The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon demand by any Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed), the Borrower will indemnify such Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans made to the Borrower by such Bank), as reasonably determined by such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment or prepayment of principal (including pursuant to Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 6.3 or Section 12.2) of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of a Loan Period for such Loan, or (b) any failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert any Loans on the date and in the amount specified therefor in a notice of Borrowing, conversion or continuation given by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.  For this purpose, all notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

6.5                                 Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding.   Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Rate Loan during the Loan Period for such Loan through the sale of deposits or the purchase of deposits, as the case may be, having a maturity corresponding to the last day of such Loan Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan Period.  Each Bank shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to take appropriate action, including the selection of a jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Office or the changing of the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Office, as the case may be, so as to avoid any illegality of the type referred to in Section 6.3 or the imposition of any increased costs or Taxes or to limit the amount of any such increased costs or Taxes which may thereafter accrue; provided that no such selection or change of the jurisdiction for its Eurodollar Office shall be made if, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, such selection or change would be disadvantageous to such Bank.

6.6                                 Replacement of Certain Banks.   In the event that any Bank(s) shall claim payment of any amounts pursuant to this Article VI or any Taxes or other amounts pursuant to Section 5.3, or shall be an Affected Bank for more than 30 days, such Bank(s) may accept a purchase offer as described hereinafter.  If the Borrower shall find one or more banks that, if not a Bank, are each an Eligible Assignee and that unconditionally offer in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) collectively to assume all of such Bank’s obligations hereunder and to purchase all of such Bank’s rights hereunder and principal and interest in the Loans owing to such Bank(s) and the Notes held by such Bank(s) without recourse, representation or warranty (other than as provided in the related Assignment and Assumption) for an amount to be received by such Bank(s) equal to the principal amount of such Loans plus interest accrued thereon to the date of such purchase plus any other amounts then payable hereunder on a date therein specified, then upon acceptance of such purchase offer, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay such costs and Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) to such Bank(s) pursuant to this Article VI or Section 5.3 to the date of such purchase (at which time such Bank shall cease to be a Bank hereunder); provided that (a) if a Bank accepts the proposed purchase offer and the proposed purchasing bank(s) fails to purchase such rights and interest and to assume such obligations on such specified date in accordance with the terms of such offer, the Borrower shall continue to be

33

obligated to pay the amounts or Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) to such Bank pursuant to this Article VI and Section 5.3, and (b) if such Bank fails to accept such purchase offer, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay to such Bank such amounts that such Bank would otherwise be currently entitled to pursuant to this Article VI (except under Section 6.3) or any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) or other amounts pursuant to Section 5.3 from and after the date of such purchase offer and to the extent that such Bank is an Affected Bank, such Bank shall no longer be an Affected Bank for such period; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict a Bank’s ability to recover additional amounts owed to such Bank pursuant to this Article VI or any Taxes or other amounts pursuant to Section 5.3 that such Bank would otherwise be entitled to in the future and not directly arising out of the same circumstances which caused the provisions of this Section to originally become operative.

6.7                                 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions.   Determinations and statements of any Bank pursuant to this Article VI shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto, absent demonstrable error.  The provisions of Section 5.3, Section 6.1, Section 6.4, Section 14.6 and the last sentence of each of Section 13.1(e) and Section 14.5 and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(c)                                  there is no Unfunded Vested Liability with respect to any Plan or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, any Multiemployer Plan, that would reasonably be expected to have, in the event of termination of such Plan or withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan, a Materially Adverse Effect; and

36

have a Materially Adverse Effect; and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement benefit under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA, that would reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

8.7                                 Compliance with Applicable Law.  Comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, in all material respects with Applicable Law, including Applicable Law relating to ERISA and pollution and environmental matters (including all Environmental Requirements); provided that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall be required to comply with any such Applicable Law so long as the validity or application thereof is being contested in good faith and reserves have been established with respect to such contest to the extent, if any, required by GAAP or where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect; and obtain and maintain, and cause each Subsidiary to obtain and maintain, all permits, licenses and approvals (collectively, “Permits”) necessary to construct, own, operate, use and maintain their respective property and assets and to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to obtain or maintain such Permit would not reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE XIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS

13.1                           Appointment and Powers of Administrative Agent.

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

(b)                                 The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and those duties and liabilities shall be subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in this Section.  The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature.  The Administrative Agent shall not have nor be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

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

52

Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

(d)                                 The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Banks (or such greater number of Banks as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks.

(i)                                     For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 10.1, each Bank that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Effective Date specifying its objection thereto.

(ii)                                  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Majority Banks in accordance with Article XII; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks.

(e)                                  Each Bank hereby agrees, to the extent of such Bank’s Percentage (and to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties), to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent-Related Persons hereunder and under any other Loan Document, from and against

53

any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or imposed upon any Agent-Related Person in such capacity as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Agent-Related Person in such capacity or otherwise incurred or suffered by, made upon, or assessed against any Agent-Related Person in such capacity; provided that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of any such losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, damages, costs or expenses that result from or are attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Agent-Related Person or its officers, employees or agents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Bank hereby agrees, to the extent of such Bank’s Percentage, to reimburse the Agent-Related Persons, promptly following any such Person’s demand, for any documented, out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Person in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents and not reimbursed to such Person by the Loan Parties, except to the extent such expenses are caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.  If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, each Bank hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution, to the extent of such Bank’s Percentage, to the payment and satisfaction of each of such amounts which is permissible under Applicable Law.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, each Bank’s obligations under this Section 13.1 shall survive the termination of such Bank’s Commitment and this Agreement and the discharge of the Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder but only with respect to such matters which occurred prior to the time such Bank ceased to be a Bank hereunder.

(f)                                    The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting, and in all cases shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document in accordance with instructions in writing from the Majority Banks (or all Banks to the extent required by Section 14.1, as applicable.

13.2                           Non-Reliance by Banks.  Each Bank acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates (each, an “Agent-Related Person”) has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Bank as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession.  Each Bank, including any Bank by assignment, represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder.  Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in

54

taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

13.3                           Indemnification of Agent-Related Persons.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Banks shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.  The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

13.4                           Excess Payments.  Except for payments made to or for the benefit of any Bank pursuant to the indemnity or additional compensation provisions of Section 5.3, Article VI, or Section 14.5, if any Bank shall receive, out of the assets of any Loan Party or otherwise, any payment on account of, (a) prior to any Pro Rata Distribution Event, its Committed Loans, and (b) after any Pro Rata Distribution Event, any Bank Obligations in excess of such Bank’s pro rata share of the total sums received by the Banks as payments on account of the Committed Loans or the Bank Obligations, as the case may be, whether the same be paid, received or applied voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, by application of offset on any debt or otherwise, then such Bank shall purchase for cash from the other Banks an undivided interest in all the Committed Loans or the Bank Obligations, as the case may be, of the same class in an amount which shall result in each Bank receiving its pro rata share of such total sums; provided that if any such purchase is made and the excess payment (or portion thereof) requiring such purchase is thereafter recovered (in whole or in part) from the purchasing Bank, then such purchase shall be pro tanto rescinded and the applicable portion of the purchase price restored to the purchasing Bank, without interest.  The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing an undivided interest from another Bank pursuant to this Section 13.4 may, to the fullest extent

55

permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including offset) with respect to such undivided interest as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such undivided interest.

13.5                           Obligations Several.  The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall be responsible for the obligation of any other Bank hereunder, nor will the failure of any Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder relieve the Administrative Agent or any other Bank from the performance of its obligations hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by the Banks or the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto or in connection with any other Loan Document, shall be deemed to constitute the Banks, together or with the Administrative Agent, a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.

13.6                           Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days notice to the Banks.  If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative agent for the Banks, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Banks.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XIII and Sections 14.5 and 14.6 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.  If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

13.7                           Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity.  Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks.  The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.  With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as

56

though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

13.8                           Notice to Holder of Notes.  The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payees of the Notes as the owners thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof has been filed with the Administrative Agent.  Any request, authority or consent of any holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note.

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

13.10                     Funding Reliance.  (a)                            Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from a Bank by 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on a proposed Borrowing Date that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Percentage of the Borrowing on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower.  If and to the extent such Bank has not made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower jointly and severally agree to repay such amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such Borrowing or, in the case of any Bank which repays such amount within three Business Days, the Federal Funds Rate (together with such other compensatory amounts as may be determined by the Administrative Agent to be required to be paid by such Bank to the Administrative Agent pursuant to banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  Nothing set forth in this clause (a) shall relieve any Bank of any obligation it may have to make any Loan hereunder.

(b)                                 Unless the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the due date for any payment hereunder that the Borrower does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Bank its share of such payment.  If and to the extent that the Borrower has not made any such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Bank which received a share of such payment shall repay such share (or the relevant portion thereof) to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at the Base Rate (or, in the case of any Bank which repays such amount within three Business Days the Federal Funds Rate).  Nothing set forth in this clause (b) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to make any payment hereunder.

13.11                     Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein

57

expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a)                                  to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 5.1 and 14.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)                                 to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 5.1 and 14.5.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of any Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding.

14.5                           Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  Except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter, the Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses of the Agent-Related Persons in connection with the negotiation, preparation, printing, reproduction, syndication, execution and delivery of this Agreement, each other Loan Document, any amendments, waivers or modifications of (or supplements to) any of the foregoing and any and all other documents furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys for the Agent-Related Persons relating thereto (as well as the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of attorneys retained by the Administrative Agent in connection with the routine administration of this Agreement and each other Loan Document), costs and

61

expenses of the Agent-Related Persons relating to the publishing of announcements and related publicity relating to the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, and all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement.  The Borrower additionally agrees to reimburse each Bank for all reasonable charges and disbursements of legal counsel and other expenses of enforcement for such Bank (including the allocated cost of staff counsel) arising in connection with any Event of Default if any Loan, interest thereon, or other amounts due hereunder payable to such Bank has not been paid when due, including the collection or enforcement of the Bank Obligations owing to such Bank.  In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all stamp, transfer and other Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or the making of any Extension of Credit, and agrees to save and hold harmless the Agent-Related Persons and each Bank from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such Taxes.

14.6                           Indemnification.  The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Bank and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or, in the case of each Agent-Related Person only, the administration of this Agreement and each Loan Document, (b) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any environmental liability related in any way to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party but, in each case, only to the extent that such claim against or liability of an Indemnitee is based upon or arises from the Indemnitee’s rights or obligations under any Loan Document, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Effective Date).  The Borrower shall not have any indemnity obligations to Indemnitees under this Section 14.6 for any amount, claim or loss for which an

62

Indemnitee is otherwise directly liable to any other Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13.4 or 13.10.   All amounts due under this Section 14.6 shall be payable within 10 Business Days after demand therefor.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

14.7                           Severability of Provisions.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or 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.

14.8                           Confirmations.  The Borrower and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by one from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to be delivered to the Administrative Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under such Note; and each such holder agrees from time to time, upon written request received by it from the Borrower, to make the Notes held by it (including any schedule attached thereto) available for reasonable inspection by the Borrower at the office of such holder.

14.9                           Binding Effect; Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that neither the Borrower nor (except as, and to the extent, otherwise provided herein) any Bank may assign its rights hereunder or in connection herewith or any interest herein (voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise) without (a) in the case of any assignment by the Borrower, the prior written consent of all Banks, and (b) in the case of any assignment by a Bank, pursuant to Section 14.10.   This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns and, to the extent expressly provided herein, Participants.

14.10                     Successors and Assigns.

(a)                                  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative agent and each Bank and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) of this Section, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of clause (h) of this Section.  Any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the

63

Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)                                 Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund (as defined in clause (g) of this Section) with respect to a Bank, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is then not in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Banks subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (such consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Bank (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee as set out in Schedule 7.  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.3, 6.1, 6.4, 14.5 and 14.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Bank.  Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section.

64

(c)                                  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the office of the Administrative Agent a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantial change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Bank may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d)                                 Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 14.1 that directly affects such Participant.  Subject to clause (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 6.1 and 6.4 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.5 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees in writing to be subject to Section 5.4 as though it were a Bank, it being understood that, by signing a participation agreement, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to be subject to Section 5.4.

(e)                                  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 6.1 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.   A Participant that would not be a US Person if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.3 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 5.3 as though it were a Bank.

65

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

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

“Eligible Assignee” means (1) a Bank; (ii) an Affiliate of a Bank; (iii) an Approved Fund; and (iv) any other Person (other than a natural person) approved by (x) the Administrative Agent and (y) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, “Eligible Assignee” shall not include the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that 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.

“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (i) a Bank or (ii) an Affiliate of a Bank.

(i)                                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Committed Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the

66

Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 6.1), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Bank would be liable, it being understood that the Granting Bank shall remain liable for such indemnity or similar payment obligation and (iii) the Granting Bank shall for all purposes remain the Bank of record hereunder.  The making of a Committed Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Bank.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC in its capacity as a lender hereunder any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed Loan to the Granting Bank and (ii) disclose, unless otherwise prohibited by the Exchange Act, on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

14.11                     Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.

14.12                     GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.
