CREDIT AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (including all exhibits and schedules hereto, as the same may be amended, modified and/or restated from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of July 5, 2006, by and among Boo Koo Beverages, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Borrower”), ORIX Venture Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as agent (in such capacity, “Agent”) for ORIX Finance Corp. (“ORIX”), a Delaware corporation, as a lender, and each other financial institution from time to time party to this Agreement as a lender (collectively, the “Lenders” and, individually, a “Lender).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Agent, Lenders and Borrower entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of September 23, 2005 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”) to provide a term loan in the initial aggregate amount of $3,000,000.00, of which 3,255,981.70 remains outstanding as of the date hereof and includes all accrued but unpaid Interest and PIK Interest (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement)(the “Existing Term Loan”), and a revolving line of credit in the aggregate amount of $2,500,000.00 (the “Existing Revolving Credit Facility”); and

WHEREAS, Agent, Lenders and Borrower desire to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in order to amend and increase the Existing Revolving Credit Facility to provide a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit to Borrower and to make certain other changes to the Existing Credit Agreement, all as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE CREDITS

1.1. Amounts and Terms of Commitments.

(a) Reserved.

(b) The Revolving Credit. Each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment severally and not jointly agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Loans to Borrower (each such Loan, a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 1.1(b) under the heading “Revolving Loan Commitment” the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000.00 unless increased by the mutual agreement of the Borrower and Lenders from time to time (such amount as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to subsection 1.8(g) hereof or as a result of one or more assignments pursuant to Section 9.8, being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Revolving Loan Commitment”); provided, however, after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding

Execution Copy

Revolving Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance. Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, amounts borrowed under this subsection 1.1(b) may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time. The “Maximum Revolving Loan Balance” from time to time will be the lesser of:

(i) the “Borrowing Base” (as calculated pursuant to the Borrowing Base Certificate) in effect from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the definition and calculation of “Borrowing Base” is subject to modifications from time to time by the Agent in its sole discretion, which modifications may include, but shall not be limited to, amendments to the advance rates set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate, amendments to the definitions of “Eligible Accounts” and “Eligible Inventory”, and the establishment of Reserves against Unused Borrowing Availability; or

(ii) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect.

If at any time the Revolving Loans exceed the Maximum Revolving Loan Balance, then Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

1.2. Notes. The Revolving Loans made by each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be evidenced by a Revolving Note payable to the order of Lender in an amount equal to Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment.

1.3. Interest.

(a) Subject to subsections 1.3(c) and 1.3(d), each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR or the Base Rate, as the case may be, plus the Applicable Margin. Each determination of an interest rate by Agent shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error. All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any payment or prepayment of Loans in full.

(c) At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under subsection 7.1(f), or 7.1(g) exists), Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the Obligations from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding two percent (2.0%) per annum to the Applicable Margin then in effect for such Loans (plus the LIBOR or Base Rate, as the case may be) and, in the case of Obligations not subject to an Applicable Margin (other than the fees described in subsection 1.9(c)), at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Loans which are

Execution Copy

Base Rate Loans (including the Applicable Margin with respect thereto) plus two percent (2.0%); provided, however, on and after the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan outstanding during the continuance of such Event of Default, the principal amount of such Loan shall, during the continuation of such Event of Default, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus two percent (2.0%). All such interest shall be payable on demand of Agent or the Required Lenders.

(d) No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement between Borrower and Agent or any Lender or default of Borrower, or the exercise by Agent or any Lender of the right to accelerate the payment of the maturity of principal and interest, or to exercise any option whatsoever contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the arising of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Lender to contract for, charge, or receive, in any event, consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money (“interest”) at a rate exceeding the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable state or federal law in effect from time to time (hereinafter “Maximum Legal Rate”). In no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay interest at any rate exceeding such Maximum Legal Rate and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel Borrower to pay a rate of interest exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of interest determined at a rate over such Maximum Legal Rate. In the event any interest is contracted for, charged or received at any rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate (“Excess”), Borrower acknowledges and stipulates that any such contract, charge, or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and that any Excess received by Lender shall be applied, first, to reduce the principal then unpaid hereunder; second, to reduce the other Obligations; and third, returned to Borrower, it being the intention of the parties hereto not to enter at any time into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the Maximum Legal Rate, such a result could inadvertently occur. By the execution of this Agreement, Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by Borrower of such Excess, and (ii) Borrower shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Agent or any Lender, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving of any interest in excess of the maximum authorized or receiving of any interest in excess of the maximum authorized by applicable law. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Agent or any Lender, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts during the full stated term of this Agreement and otherwise as provided in the applicable laws of the State of New York (or the successor(s) thereof). If, as a result of any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any related agreement, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity.

Execution Copy

1.4. Loan Accounts. The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Loan made, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding. The Agent shall deliver to Borrower on a monthly basis a loan statement setting forth such record for the immediately preceding month. Such record shall, absent demonstrable error, be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so, or any failure to deliver such loan statement shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or provide the basis for any claim against Agent.

1.5. Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. a) Each Borrowing under the Revolving Loan shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable (subject to Section 10.5 hereof) written notice delivered to Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, which notice must be received by Agent prior to 11:30 a.m. (New York, New York time) (i) on the requested Borrowing date in the case of each Base Rate Loan equal to or less than $1,000,000 and in the case of the initial Loans to be made on the Closing Date, (ii) on the date which is one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing date of each Base Rate Loan in excess of $1,000,000 but equal to or less than $3,000,000 and (iii) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing date in the case of each LIBOR Rate Loan and each Base Rate Loan in excess of $3,000,000; provided, that with respect to Loans subsequent to the initial Loans, Borrower may give notice of the requested Borrowing to Agent by telephone call, with such notice confirmed not later than the following Business Day by delivery to Agent of a signed Notice of Borrowing. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify:

(I) the amount of the Borrowing (which shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $100,000 and multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof);

(II) the requested Borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day;

(III) whether the Borrowing is to be comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans; and

(IV) if the Borrowing is to be LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable to such Loans;

provided, however, with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date, such Borrowing will consist of Base Rate Loans only and shall remain so for not less than three (3) Business Days. Thereafter, Borrower may request that Revolving Loans be made as LIBOR Rate Loans and that Loans be converted to or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans provided only LIBOR Rate Loans having an Interest Period of one (1) month shall be permitted during the first sixty (60) days after the Closing Date.

(b) Upon receipt of the Notice of Borrowing, Agent will promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment affected thereby of such Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing.

Execution Copy

Unless Agent is otherwise directed in writing by Borrower, the proceeds of each requested Borrowing after the Closing Date will be made available to Borrower by Agent by wire transfer (or ACH transfer) of such amount to Borrower pursuant to the wire transfer instructions specified on the signature page hereto.

1.6. Conversion and Continuation Elections. a) Borrower may upon irrevocable (subject to subsection 10.2(c) and Section 10.5) written notice to Agent in accordance with subsection 1.6(b) elect to convert on any Business Day, any Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans or elect to continue on the last day of the applicable Interest Period any LIBOR Rate Loans having Interest Periods maturing on such day, in each instance, in whole or in part in an amount not less than $100,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Continuation/ Conversion to be received by Agent not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York, New York time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested Conversion Date or continuation date, specifying:

(i) the proposed Conversion Date or continuation date;

(ii) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued; and

(iii) the duration of the requested Interest Period with respect to the Loans to be converted or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans.

(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans or if any Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

(d) Upon receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion, Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof. In addition, Agent will, with reasonable promptness, notify Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of LIBOR; provided that any failure to do so shall not relieve Borrower of any liability hereunder or provide the basis for any claim against Agent. All conversions and continuations shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans held by each Lender with respect to which the notice was given.

(e) Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, during the existence of an Event of Default, Borrower may not elect to have a Loan converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, after giving effect to any Borrowing, or to any continuation or conversion of any Loans, there shall not be more than seven (7) different Interest Periods in effect.

Execution Copy

1.7. Optional Prepayments.

(a) Borrower may at any time prepay the Revolving Loans without penalty or premium except as provided in Section 10.4 and the applicable Termination Fee, if any.

(b) The notice of any prepayment shall not thereafter be revocable by Borrower and Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such prepayment. The payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.7, Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4.

1.8. Mandatory Prepayments of Loans and Commitment Reductions.

(a) Reserved.

(b) Revolving Loan. Borrower shall repay to Lenders in full on the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Revolving Termination Date” the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the Revolving Termination Date.

(i) make or agree to make a Disposition; or

(ii) suffer an Event of Loss;

and the aggregate amount of the Net Proceeds received by Borrower in connection with such Disposition or Event of Loss and all other Dispositions and Events of Loss occurring during the fiscal year exceeds $200,000, then (A) Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of such proposed Disposition or Event of Loss (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by Borrower in respect thereof) and (B) promptly upon receipt by Borrower of the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such Net Proceeds to Agent for distribution to the Lenders as a prepayment of the Loans, which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 1.8(f) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall not be required to the extent Borrower reinvests the Net Proceeds of such Disposition or Event of Loss, or a portion thereof, in productive assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of Borrower, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such Disposition or Event of Loss or enters into a binding commitment thereof within said one hundred eighty (180) day period and subsequently makes such reinvestment. Pending such reinvestment, the Net Proceeds shall be delivered to Agent, for distribution to the Lenders, as a prepayment of the Revolving Loans, but not as a permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment.

(d) Reserved.

Execution Copy

(e) Reserved.

(f) Reserved.

(g) Application of Prepayments. Any prepayments pursuant to Section 1.7 (other than prepayments of Revolving Loans as set forth therein), 1.8(d) shall be applied in permanent reduction of the Revolving Loan, whereupon the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced by an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share of the aggregate of principal repaid, effective as of the earlier of the date that such prepayment is made or the date by which such prepayment is due and payable hereunder. Amounts prepaid shall be applied first to any Base Rate Loans then outstanding and then to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans with the shortest Interest Periods remaining. Together with each prepayment under this Section 1.8, Borrower shall pay any amounts required pursuant to Section 10.4 hereof.

1.9. Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for Agent’s own account, a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to $25,000. The Commitment Fee shall be due and payable on the Closing Date, and shall be deemed fully earned and nonrefundable as of the Closing Date.

(b) Monitoring Fee. Borrowers shall pay Agent an a monitoring fee equal to $1,500.00 per month (the “Monitoring Fee”) commencing on the first day of the month following the Closing Date and on the first day of each month until the termination of this Agreement. The Monitoring Fee shall be deemed earned in full on the date when same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(c) Unused Line Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders having Revolving Loan Commitments, a fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to

(i) the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment, less

(ii) the average daily balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding during the preceding quarter.

multiplied by one-half percent (0.50%) per annum, such fee to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of the quarter following the date hereof and the first day of each quarter thereafter. The Unused Line Fee provided in this subsection 1.9(c) shall accrue at all times from and after mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Execution Copy

1.10. Payments by Borrower.

(a) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other amounts required hereunder shall be made without set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, shall except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be made to Agent at the address for payment specified in the signature page hereof in relation to Agent (or such other address as Agent may from time to time specify in accordance with Section 9.2), and shall be made in dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 11:30 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the date due. Any payment which is received by Agent later than 11:30 a.m. (New York, New York time) shall be deemed to have been received on the immediately succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent and each Lender to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan) to pay (i) interest, principal and any fees owing to Lender, in each instance, on the date due, or (ii) after five (5) days prior notice to Borrower, other fees, costs or expenses payable by Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

(b) Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” herein, if any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Except for payments collected or received prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent shall be applied as follows:

first, to payment of costs and expenses, including Attorney Costs, of Agent payable or reimbursable by Borrower under the this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents;

second, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Obligations and fees owed to Agent and Lenders;

third, to payment of principal of the Obligations required hereunder;

fourth, to payment of any other amounts owing constituting Obligations; and

fifth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses third, fourth and fifth above.

Execution Copy

(d) As set forth in subsection 1.5(b), upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Borrowing requested thereby. Each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment will fund its Commitment Percentage of Borrowings of Revolving Loans to Agent at Agent’s account specified on its signature page hereto, or to such other account as Agent may designate in writing, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the scheduled Borrowing date.

(e) Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender on the Closing Date or, with respect to each Borrowing after the Closing Date, by 1:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the date of any proposed Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to Agent as and when required hereunder for the account of Borrower the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the proposed Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the applicable Borrowing date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the next Business Day following the date of such Borrowing make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for and determined as of each day during such period. A notice of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection 1.11(b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such payment to Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the next Business Day following the date of such Borrowing, Agent shall notify Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

(f) On each Interest Payment Date and any other date on which a payment is made in respect of the Obligations, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a certificate, certified by a Responsible Officer, setting forth: (i) outstanding receivables; (ii) current inventory; (iii) the Borrowing Base calculation; (iv) interest due and paid in respect of the Revolving Loans; (v) principal due and paid in respect of the Revolving Loans; and (vi) the outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans taking into account the payment made on such date.

Borrower shall ensure that all collections of Accounts and receivables of Borrower, its Subsidiaries and/or Guarantors and proceeds of all other Collateral are paid and delivered directly from Account Debtors and other Persons into the Lockbox Account. The Lockbox Agreement shall provide that, at all times prior to the delivery of an Activation Notice (as hereinafter defined), the Lockbox Bank shall disburse funds as the Borrower may direct.

To the extent that any such Accounts and receivables collections or other proceeds of Collateral are not sent directly to the Lockbox Account but are received by Borrower or any Guarantor or Affiliate of Borrower, such collections and proceeds (“Trust Collections”) shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and immediately remitted (and in any event within two (2) Business Days), in the form received, to the Lockbox Bank for immediate transfer to the Lockbox Account; provided, however, upon written request of Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such collections and proceeds will be immediately remitted (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) in the form received to the Concentration Account. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the terms of this Section 4.17 is an essential term of this Agreement, and that, in addition to and notwithstanding any other rights Agent may have hereunder, under any other Loan Document, under applicable law, at equity or otherwise, upon each and every such failure Agent shall be entitled to assess a non-compliance fee which shall operate to increase the Base Rate or LIBOR for purposes of interest calculation hereunder by two percent (2%) per annum during any period of non-compliance; provided, however, that to the extent Agent wishes to institute such non-compliance fee solely in connection with Borrower’s failure to remit Trust Collections to the Concentration Account within the timeframe established by this Section 4.17, Agent shall only be entitled to institute such non-compliance fee if the aggregate amount of the Trust Collections exceeds $100,000. Agent shall be entitled to assess such fee whether or not a Default or an Event of Default occurs or is declared, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Agent from considering any failure to comply with the terms of this Section 4.17 to be a Default or an Event of Default. If applicable, at any time prior to the execution of the Lockbox Agreement and operation of the Lockbox Account, Borrower, its Subsidiaries and Guarantors shall direct all collections or proceeds it receives on Accounts or receivables or from Collateral to the account(s) and in the manner specified by Agent in its sole discretion.

THE AGENT

8.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes 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 in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, 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 Agent.

8.2. Delegation of Duties. The 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 concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

8.3. Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) 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 (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value of any Collateral or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the Properties, books or records of Borrower. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to assure that the property covered by the Collateral Documents exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.

Execution Copy

8.4. Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine 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 Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders (or, where an action or waiver need only be approved by the Required Lenders, by the Required Lenders) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The 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 Lenders (or, where an action or waiver need only be approved by the Required Lenders, by the Required Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

8.5. Notice of Default. The 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 Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VII; provided, however, unless and until Agent shall have received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

8.6. Credit Decision. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent 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 thereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower which may come into the possession of Agent.

Execution Copy

8.7. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, upon demand therefor the Lenders shall indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the repayment of the Loans and the termination or resignation of Agent) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, INCLUDING THOSE RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF AGENT’S OWN NEGLIGENCE; provided, however, no Lender shall be liable for the payment to Agent of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In addition, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by 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 Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent under this Section 8.7, together with all related costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs). The obligation of the Lenders in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder.

8.8. Agent in Individual Capacity. ORIX 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 or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though ORIX were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. With respect to its Loans, ORIX shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include ORIX in its individual capacity.

8.9. Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Lenders and to Borrower. If Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may thereupon appoint a successor agent from among the Lenders reasonably acceptable to Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII and Sections 9.4 and 9.5 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation (or, if later, ten (10) days after the date upon which Agent designates a successor agent), the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

8.10. Collateral Matters.

(a) The Agent is authorized (but not required) on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Collateral Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents.

(b) The Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral:

Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this subsection 8.10(b).

(c) Each Lender agrees with and in favor of each other Lender (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) that Borrower’s obligation to such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be equally and ratably secured by any real property and/or other collateral now or hereafter securing any obligations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to such Lender, whether or not the same constitutes Collateral hereunder.

The obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by Agent and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by Agent and the Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by Agent and the Lenders to be contained in the telephonic or facsimile notice.

9.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No course of dealing between Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower, Agent or any Lender shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

INCLUDING THOSE WHICH RELATE TO OR ARISE OUT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S OWN NEGLIGENCE (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(ii) Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, such Lender and its Assignee (an “Assignment and Acceptance”).

(b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assignor that Agent has received and provided its consent with respect to an executed Assignment and Acceptance:

(i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

(ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents.

(c) Borrower shall execute and deliver new Notes evidencing such Assignee’s assigned Loans and Revolving Loan Commitment portion and, if the assignor Lender has retained a portion of its Loans and Revolving Loan Commitment, replacement Notes in the principal amount of the Loans and Revolving Loan Commitment portion retained by the assignor Lender (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment or satisfaction of, the Notes held by Lender). This Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving Loan Commitments arising therefrom. The Revolving Loan Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Revolving Loan Commitment of the assigning Lender to the same extent.

(d) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, the Revolving Loan Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however,:

(i) the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged;

(ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations;

Execution Copy

(iii) Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

(iv) No Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment, consent or waiver would require unanimous consent of the Lenders as described in the first proviso to Section 9.1.

In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, and all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if Lender had not sold such participation.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Lender may (i) assign all or any portion of the Loans held by it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or (ii) pledge all or any portion of the Loans held by it (and Notes evidencing such Loans) to its lenders for collateral security purposes, provided that any payment in respect of such assigned Loans made by Borrower to or for the account of the assigning or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned or pledged Loans to the extent of such payment. No such assignment or pledge shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(f) The Agent shall, on behalf of Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Loan Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of demonstrable error, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Revolving Loan Commitments, Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon a surrender or registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee and, if applicable, assignor, and the old Notes shall be returned by Agent to Borrower marked “cancelled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

9.9. Confidentiality. Each of Agent and the Lenders shall maintain in confidence in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information, all written information that Borrower, or any of its authorized representatives, furnishes to Agent or any Lender on a confidential basis clearly marked as such (“Confidential Information”), other than any such Confidential Information that becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach by Agent or any Lender of its obligations hereunder or that is or becomes available to Agent or such Lender from a source other than Borrower, or any of its authorized representatives, and that is not, to the actual knowledge of the recipient thereof, subject to obligations of confidentiality with respect thereto; provided, however, Agent and each Lender shall in any event have the right to deliver copies of any such documents, and to disclose any such information, to:

(a) its directors, officers, trustees, partners, employees, agents, attorneys, professional consultants, portfolio management services and rating agencies;

(b) any other Lender and any successor Agent;

(c) any Person to which such Lender offers to sell any Loan or any part thereof or interest or participation therein (provided, such Person agrees to keep such information confidential on the terms set forth in this Section 9.9);

(d) any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, regulating or having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender; and

(e) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (i) in compliance with any applicable law, rule, regulation or order, (ii) in response to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand, (iii) in connection with any litigation to which Agent or such Lender is a party, or (iv) in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

9.10. Set-off; Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights and remedies now or hereafter granted under applicable law, and not by way of limitation of any such rights or remedies at any time and from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by Borrower, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to Borrower or to any other Person (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived by Borrower) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all

(a) balances held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to Borrower); and

(b) other Property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of Borrower;

against and on account of any and all Obligations which are not paid when due; except that no Lender shall exercise such right without the prior written consent of Agent. Any Lender having a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) participations in each such other Lender’s pro rata share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the benefit of such right of set-off with each other Lender in accordance with their respective pro rata shares of the Obligations. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) any Lender may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its pro rata share of the Obligations and may sell participations to other Lenders, and (ii) any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Obligations held by other Lenders may exercise all rights of setoff, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Obligations in the amount of such participation; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all such deposits and other Property, whether now existing or hereafter arising, held by Lender for the purposes set forth herein.

9.11. Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc. Each Lender shall notify Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to such Lender should be directed, of addresses of its Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as Agent shall reasonably request.

9.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with each of Borrower and Agent.

9.13. Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder. Any Loan Document, or other agreement, document or instrument, delivered by facsimile transmission shall have the same force and effect as if the original thereof has been delivered.

Execution Copy

9.14. Captions. The captions and headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

9.15. Independence of Provisions. The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement and other Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters, and that such limitations, tests and measurements are cumulative and must each be performed, except as expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement.

9.16. Interpretation. This Agreement is the result of negotiations among and has been reviewed by counsel to Agent and other parties hereto, and is the product of all parties hereto. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be construed against the Lenders or Agent merely because of Agent’s or Lenders’ involvement in the preparation of such documents and agreements.

9.17. No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of Borrower, the Lenders and Agent, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

9.18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

(A) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW); PROVIDED THAT THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

(B) BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT AND BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY BORROWER AGAINST AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(C) BORROWER DESIGNATES AND APPOINTS CT CORPORATION SYSTEM AND SUCH OTHER PERSONS AS MAY HEREAFTER BE SELECTED BY BORROWER WHICH IRREVOCABLY AGREE IN WRITING TO SO SERVE AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDINGS IN ANY SUCH COURT, SUCH SERVICE BEING HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY BORROWER TO BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT. A COPY OF ANY SUCH PROCESS SO SERVED SHALL BE MAILED BY REGISTERED MAIL TO BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN SECTION 9.2 EXCEPT THAT UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY FAILURE TO MAIL SUCH COPY SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF SERVICE OF PROCESS. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED BY BORROWER REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE, BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT NOTICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

9.19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

9.20. Entire Agreement; Release. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among Borrower, the Lenders and Agent, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous Agreements and understandings of such Persons, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by Borrower of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of Agent or the Lenders.

(b) In addition, Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Subject to subsection 10.1(g), Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 10.1) paid by such Lender or Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date any Lender or Agent makes written demand therefor.

(d) If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or Agent, then, subject to subsection 10.1(g):

(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.1), such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made;

(ii) Borrower shall make such deductions; and

Execution Copy

(iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(e) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by Borrower of Taxes or Other Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to Agent (and the applicable Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Agent (and the applicable Lender).

(f) Each Lender that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrower and Agent two copies of each U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a ten percent (10%) shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(g) Borrower will not be required to pay any additional amounts in respect of United States Federal income tax pursuant to subsection 10.1(d) to any Lender for the account of any Lending Office of such Lender:

(i) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with its obligations under subsection 10.1(f) in respect of such Lending Office;

(ii) if such Lender shall have delivered to Borrower a Form W-8BEN and/or Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) in respect of such Lending Office pursuant to subsection 10.1(f), and such Lender shall not at any time be entitled to exemption from deduction or withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of payments by Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for any reason other than a change in United States law, treaty or regulations or in the official interpretation of such law or regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of delivery of such Form W-8BEN and/or Form W-8ECI (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto); or

Execution Copy

(iii) if such Lender shall have delivered to Borrower a Form W-8 (or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto) in respect of such Lending Office pursuant to subsection 10.1(f), and such Lender shall not at any time be entitled to exemption from deduction or withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of payments by Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for any reason other than a change in the United States law or regulations or any applicable tax treaty or regulations or in the official interpretation of any such law, treaty or regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of delivery of such Form W-8 (or subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto).

(h) If, at any time, Borrower requests Lender to deliver any forms or other documentation pursuant to subsection 10.1(f), then Borrower shall, on demand of such Lender through Agent, reimburse such Lender for any costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) reasonably incurred by such Lender in the preparation or delivery of such forms or other documentation.

(i) If Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender or Agent pursuant to subsection 10.1(d), then such Lender shall use its reasonable best efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by Borrower which may thereafter accrue if such change in the judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

10.2. Illegality. a) If after the date hereof any Lender shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through Agent, the obligation of that Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exists.

(b) Subject to clause (c) below, if any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall prepay in full all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 10.4.

Execution Copy

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans has been terminated, Borrower may elect, by giving notice to such Lender through Agent that all Loans which would otherwise be made by any such Lender as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be instead Base Rate Loans.

(d) Before giving any notice to Agent pursuant to this Section 10.2, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of the Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.

10.3. Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

(a) If any Lender shall have determined that:

(i) the introduction of any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(ii) any change in any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

(iii) any change in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof; or

(iv) compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation;

affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any entity controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such entities’ policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Revolving Loan Commitment(s), loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within thirty (30) days of demand of such Lender, (with a copy to Agent), Borrower shall upon demand pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender (or the entity controlling Lender) for such increase.

10.4. Funding Losses. Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which each Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of:

(a) the failure of Borrower to make any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof);

Execution Copy

(b) the failure of Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a Loan after Borrower has given (or is deemed to have given) a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Continuation/Conversion;

(d) the prepayment (including pursuant to Section 1.8) of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto; or

(e) the conversion pursuant to Section 1.6 of any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period;

including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 10.4 and under subsection 10.3(a): each LIBOR Rate Loan made by a Lender (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at the LIBOR used in determining the interest rate for such LIBOR Rate Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan is in fact so funded.

10.5. Inability to Determine Rates. If Agent shall have determined in good faith that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or that the LIBOR applicable pursuant to subsection 1.3(a) for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended until Agent revokes such notice in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Continuation/Conversion then submitted by it. If Borrower does not revoke such notice, the Lenders shall make, convert or continue the Loans, as proposed by Borrower, in the amount specified in the applicable notice submitted by Borrower, but such Loans shall be made, converted or continued as Base Rate Loans.

10.6. Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans. Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error), payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan provided Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice (with a copy to Agent) of such additional interest from the Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

Execution Copy

10.7. Certificates of Lender. If any Lender claims a right of reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article X, each Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to each Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

10.8. Survival. The agreements and obligations of Borrower in this Article X shall survive the payment of all other Obligations.
