If the aggregate principal amount of all unpaid Advances at any time exceeds the Borrowing Base (such excess is referenced to as “Overadvance”), Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after notice from Agent, (1) repay the Overadvance in full or (2) pledge to Lenders sufficient Collateral so that the aggregate principal amount of all unpaid Advances does not exceed the Borrowing Base.

Each Revolving Credit Note shall evidence Borrower's absolute unconditional obligation to repay such Lender for all outstanding Advances owed to such Lender, with interest as herein and therein provided. Each and every Advance under the Revolving Credit shall be deemed evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes, which are deemed incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

c. The term of the Revolving Credit shall expire on the Maturity Date. On such date, unless having been sooner accelerated by Agent, all Obligations shall be due and payable in full, and after such date no further Advances shall be available from Lenders.

As a part of the Revolving Credit and subject to its terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the Borrowing Base), Issuing Bank shall, on behalf of and for the benefit of all Lenders, make available the Letters of Credit. The Letter of Credit Amount shall not exceed, in the aggregate at any time, the L/C Sublimit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Bank and Agent. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later than the Maturity Date. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Issuing Bank all Letter of Credit Documents required by Issuing Bank for such purpose. Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the Letter of Credit Documents. Each Letter of Credit issued from time to time under the Revolving Credit which remains undrawn and the amounts of draws on Letters of Credit prior to payment as hereinafter set forth shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the amount available to be borrowed by Borrower under the Revolving Credit.

b. Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank is deemed to have granted to each other Lender, and each other Lender is hereby deemed to have acquired, an undivided participating interest (without recourse or warranty), in accordance with each such other Lender’s respective Pro Rata Percentage, in all of Issuing Bank’s rights and liabilities with respect to such Letter of Credit. Each Lender shall be absolutely and unconditionally obligated without deduction or setoff of any kind, to Issuing Bank, according to its Pro Rata Percentage, to reimburse Issuing Bank on demand for any amount paid pursuant to any draws made at any time (including, without limitation, following the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or dissolution proceeding with respect to Borrower) under any Letter of Credit.

c. Issuing Bank shall be immediately, absolutely, and unconditionally reimbursed, without offset or deduction of any kind, by Borrower for any draws made under a Letter of Credit. Such reimbursement shall be made, at the sole option of Agent, by either a cash payment by Borrower, by Lenders automatically making or having deemed made (without

further request or approval of Borrower or Lenders), a cash Advance under the Revolving Credit or pursuant to repayment terms established by Agent (in its sole discretion) upon each draw. All cash Advances made by Agent which constitute a reimbursement to Issuing Bank for a draw under a Letter of Credit shall be repaid to Agent by Lenders, without deduction or setoff of any kind, in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(iii). All of Borrower's Reimbursement Obligations hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit shall apply unconditionally and absolutely to Letters of Credit issued hereunder on behalf of Borrower.

d. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for drawings made (or for cash Advances made to cover drawings made) under the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower or any other Person may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), Agent, Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, unless Issuing Bank shall have acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence in issuing such payment;

(v) any other circumstances or happening whatsoever that is similar to any of the foregoing; or

(vi) the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower will not be liable for payment or performance with respect to a Letter of Credit that results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank, except (i) where Borrower actually recovers the proceeds for itself or Issuing Bank of any such payment made by Issuing Bank; or (ii) in cases where Agent makes payment to the named beneficiary of a Letter of Credit.

e. If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in applicable law, regulation, rule, decree or regulatory requirement or any change in the interpretation or application by any judicial or regulatory authority of any law, regulation, rule, decree or regulatory requirement or (ii) compliance by Issuing Bank or Lenders with any direction, reasonable request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or monetary authority including, without limitation, Regulation D:

A. Issuing Bank or Lenders shall be subject to any tax or other levy or charge of any nature or to any variation thereof (except for changes in the rate of any tax on the net income of Issuing Bank or Lenders or its applicable lending office) or to any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 2.2, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by Issuing Bank or Lenders; or

B. any reserve, deposit or similar requirement is or shall be applicable, imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Bank;

and the result of the foregoing is to directly or indirectly increase the cost to Issuing Bank or any Lender of issuing, creating, making or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by Issuing Bank or any Lender, then and in any such case, Issuing Bank shall, after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower and Borrower shall pay on demand such amounts as may be necessary to compensate Issuing Bank or any Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal at all times to the applicable interest rate under the Revolving Credit. A certificate signed by an officer of Issuing Bank as to the amount of such increased cost or reduced receipt showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to Borrower by Issuing Bank shall, except for manifest error and absent written notice from Borrower to Issuing Bank within ten (10) days after receipt of notice, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

f. i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 2.2, without duplication, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save Agent, Issuing Bank and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) which Agent, Issuing Bank and each Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of the Letters of Credit or (b) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any such act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Government Acts”) in each case except for claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses arising solely from acts or conduct of Issuing Bank constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(ii) As between Borrower and Issuing Bank, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by Issuing Bank. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank shall not be responsible: (A) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits there under or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of

any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they are in cipher; (E) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) for any loss or delay in the transmission of any document or required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof, unless caused by Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (G) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (H) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of Issuing Bank's rights or powers hereunder.

(iii) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Bank in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not create any liability on the part of Issuing Bank to Borrower, unless such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

2.3 Advances, Conversions, Renewals and Payments:

a. Except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all payments of principal and of interest on the Revolving Credit, Reimbursement Obligations, the L/C Fees, Expenses and all other fees, charges and any other Obligations of Borrower hereunder, shall be made to Agent at its main New Jersey banking office, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, in United States dollars, in immediately available funds. Alternatively, Agent, on behalf of all Lenders, shall, if Borrower has not made any payment on the due date of such payment, have the unconditional right and discretion (and Borrower hereby authorizes Agent) to make a cash Advance under the Revolving Credit to pay, and/or to charge Borrower's operating account with Agent or any Lender for, all of Borrower's Obligations as they become due from time to time under this Agreement including without limitation, interest, principal, fees and reimbursement of Expenses. Any payments received prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any Business Day shall be deemed received on such Business Day. Any payments (including any payment in full of the Obligations), received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the immediately following Business Day.

b. Cash Advances which may be made by Lenders from time to time under the Revolving Credit shall be made available for the use and benefit of Borrower by crediting such proceeds to Borrower's operating account with Agent as designated in the Borrowing Request.

(i) All cash Advances requested by Borrower under the Revolving Credit, must be in the minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) and integral multiples of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) in excess thereof. All cash Advances that are Prime Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit must be requested by 11:00 A.M., Eastern time, on the date such cash Advance is to be made. All requests for a LIBOR Rate Loan are to be requested by 11:00 a.m. Eastern time, three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested LIBOR Rate Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, there shall not be more than four (4) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time. Borrower shall provide a Borrowing Base Certificate to Agent upon each request for an Advance. All requests for a cash Advance may be made either by telephone or in writing, provided that, all telephonic requests

are to be confirmed by Borrower in writing on the same day pursuant to a Borrowing Request (and accompanied by a signed Borrowing Base Certificate), which shall set forth (x) the amount of the requested Advance, (y) the proposed date of borrowing, and (z) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, the requested LIBOR Interest Period, and further provided, that such written confirmation may be sent by facsimile transmission. No Lender shall be obligated, for any reason whatsoever, to advance or reimburse Agent for the share of any other Lender.

(ii) A. Between each Settlement Date, (defined below) Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, shall have the discretion (without any duty or obligation regardless of any prior practice or procedures) to make all cash Advances for the account and on behalf of each Lender in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage. Periodically but not less frequently than once every week on the same day of each week, unless such day is not a Business Day, in which event such determination shall be made the next Business Day (“Settlement Date”), Agent shall make a determination of the appropriate dollar amount of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans based upon each such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of all then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, which amounts shall be calculated as of the close of the Business Day immediately preceding each respective Settlement Date. Amounts of principal paid to Agent by Borrower from time to time, between Settlement Dates, shall be applied to the outstanding balance of Revolving Credit Loans made by Agent, as a Lender pursuant hereto, with the outstanding balance of Revolving Credit Loans made by each other Lender to be adjusted on the next Settlement Date. Interest shall accrue and each Lender shall be entitled to receive interest at the applicable rate only on the actual outstanding dollar amount of its respective outstanding Revolving Credit Loans without regard to a prospective settlement. On each Settlement Date, Agent shall then issue to each Lender a settlement schedule containing information with respect to the status of the Revolving Credit Loans and the relevant net positions of Lenders and the outstanding balances of their respective Revolving Credit Loans as of the close of the Business Day preceding such Settlement Date. Each settlement schedule shall show the net amount then owing by each Lender to Agent or by Agent to each such Lender based upon the aggregate cash Advances made and payments received since the most recent Settlement Date and settlement among Lenders and Agent shall be made in accordance with the direction of Agent no later than 11:00 A.M. Eastern time, on each Settlement Date. All remittances at any time among Lenders and Agent under this Agreement shall be made in immediately available funds by federal funds wire transfer. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed by any Lender on a Settlement Date in accordance with Agent’s direction, Borrower shall immediately repay Agent on demand the amount of any reimbursement not so made by any Lender.

B. Each Lender is absolutely and unconditionally obligated without setoff or deduction of any kind, to remit to Agent on the Settlement Date any amount showing to be owing to Agent by such Lender on the settlement schedule for such date. Agent shall also be entitled to recover any and all actual losses and damages (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) from any party failing to remit payment on the Settlement Date in accordance with this Agreement. Agent may set off the obligations of such party under this paragraph against any distributions or payments of the Obligations, which such party would otherwise make available at any time.

(iii) A. In lieu of the procedure set forth in the preceding subparagraph (ii), Agent may provide Lenders with notice that Borrower has requested a cash Advance, on the same Business Day as such request, and request each Lender to provide Agent with such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such requested cash Advance prior to Agent’s making such cash Advance. Upon receipt of such notice from Agent prior to 12:00 p.m., Eastern time, each Lender shall remit to Agent its respective Pro Rata Percentage of such requested cash Advance, prior to 1:00 P.M. Eastern time, on the Business Day Agent is scheduled to make such cash Advance in accordance with Section 2.3(b) hereof. Neither Agent nor any other Lender shall be obligated, for any reason whatsoever, to remit or advance the share of any other Lender. Agent shall not be required to make the full amount of the requested cash Advance unless and until it receives funds representing each other Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such requested cash Advance, but Agent shall advance to Borrower that portion of the requested cash Advance equal to the Pro Rata Percentages of such requested cash Advance which it has received from Lenders.

B. If Agent does not receive each other Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such requested cash Advance, and Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to make the requested cash Advance on behalf of Lenders or any of them, Agent shall be entitled to recover each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each cash Advance together with interest at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the period commencing on the date such cash Advance is made and ending on (but excluding) the date Agent recovers such amount. Each Lender is absolutely and unconditionally obligated, without deduction or setoff of any kind, to forward to Agent its Pro Rata Percentage of each cash Advance made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed by such Lender, Borrower shall repay Agent immediately on demand, such amount. Agent shall also be entitled to recover any and all actual losses and damages (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) from any Lender failing to so advance upon demand of Agent. Agent may set off the obligations of a Lender under this paragraph against any distributions or payments of the Obligations, which Agent would otherwise make available to such Lender at any time.

(iv) To the extent and during the time period in which any Lender fails to provide or delays providing its respective payment to Agent pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, such Lender’s percentage of all payments of the Obligations (but not its Pro Rata Percentage of future Advances required to be funded by such Lender) shall decrease to reflect the actual percentage which its actual outstanding Loans bears to the total outstanding Loans of all Lenders. During the time period in which any Lender fails to provide or delays providing its respective payment to Agent pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) above, such Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Loan Documents may be made without regard to such Lender and, for purposes of the definition of Majority Lenders, such Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender.

2.4 Interest:

a. The unpaid principal balance of Advances under the Revolving Credit shall bear interest, at Borrower's option, at the Prime Rate plus 1% or the LIBOR Rate, as indicated in the Borrowing Request. If no LIBOR Interest Period is designated in any Borrowing Request, the LIBOR Interest Period shall be deemed to be a one month period.

b. Changes in the interest rate applicable to Prime Rate Loans shall become effective on the same day that there is a change in the Prime Rate.

c. Interest on Prime Rate Loans shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the Closing Date, on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, and on the Maturity Date. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable, in arrears, on the last day of each LIBOR Interest Period, and on the Maturity Date.

d. If prior to the first day of any LIBOR Interest Period, (i) any Lender shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower), that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Interest Period, or (ii) dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the LIBOR Rate Loans to which such LIBOR Interest Period is to be applicable, are not generally available in the London Interbank market, such Lender shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof to Agent and Borrower, as soon as practicable thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to Borrower when such conditions no longer exist. If such notice is given (A) any LIBOR Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such LIBOR Interest Period shall be made as Prime Rate Loans, (B) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such LIBOR Interest Period to, or continued as, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted to, or continued as, Prime Rate Loans, and (C) each outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted on the last day of the then-current LIBOR Interest Period thereof, to Prime Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by such Lender, no further LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to convert Prime Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans.

e. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or final, non-appealable determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to Agent and Borrower (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans, continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such and convert a Prime Rate Loan to LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a Prime Rate Loan when a LIBOR Rate Loan is requested and (c) Lender's Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current LIBOR Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrower shall pay to Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.9(b).

2.5 Additional Interest Provisions:

a. Interest on the Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days but charged for the actual number of days elapsed.

b. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, the per annum effective rates of interest on all outstanding principal under the Loans, shall be increased by three hundred (300) basis points (“Default Rate”). Borrower agrees that the Default Rate payable to Lenders is a reasonable estimate of Lenders' damages and is not a penalty.

c. All contractual rates of interest chargeable on outstanding principal under the Loans shall, as permitted by law, continue to accrue and be paid even after Default, an Event of Default, maturity, acceleration, judgment, bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings of any kind or the happening of any event or occurrence similar or dissimilar.

d. In no event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such court determines any Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, Lenders shall apply, in its sole discretion, and set off such excess interest received by Lenders against other Obligations due or to become due and such rate shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such law.

2.6 Fees:

a. There shall be an initial fee for the Loan of $250,000, which shall be paid by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement.

b. Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Percentage, per annum letter of credit fees equal to the face amount of each Letter of Credit multiplied by 225 basis points, payable in equal quarterly installments in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of a Letter of Credit. On the date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall pay to Issuing Bank, for the sole account of Issuing Bank, a fronting fee equal to the greater of (i) twelve (12) basis points multiplied by the face amount of each Letter of Credit and (ii) Five Hundred Dollars ($500), together with all of Issuing Bank’s standard charges (including without limitation all cable and wire transfer charges) for the administration of each such Letter of Credit. All such fees are collectively, the “L/C Fees”.

c. Borrower shall unconditionally pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Percentage, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any and all payments of principal or interest on the Loans that are not paid within fifteen (15) days of the due date. Such late charge shall be due and payable regardless of whether Agent has accelerated the Obligations. Borrower agrees that any late fee payable to Lenders is a reasonable estimate of Lenders’ damages and is not a penalty.

d. All fees provided for in this Section 2.6 shall be based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed.

e. All fees shall be deemed fully earned when paid, shall be non-refundable and shall not be subject to refund or rebate.

2.7 Prepayments: Borrower may prepay the Revolving Credit in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, without penalty or premium, other than any breakage cost under Section 2.9(b) of this Agreement. Any prepayment shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest and breakage cost, if any.

2.8 Use of Proceeds: The extensions of credit under and proceeds of the Revolving Credit shall be used for working capital purposes, including interim funding of Permitted Investments.

2.9 Indemnity/Loss of Margin:

a. In the event that any present or future law, rule, regulation, treaty or official directive or the interpretation or application thereof by any central bank, monetary authority or governmental authority, or the compliance with any guideline or request of any central bank, monetary authority or governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any deposit insurance, reserve, special deposit, or other similar requirement with respect to deposits in or for the account of, or loans or advances or commitment to make loans or advances by, or letters of credit issued or commitment to issue letters of credit by a Lender and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the costs of a Lender, reduce the income receivable by or return on equity of such Lender or impose any expense upon such Lender with respect to any advances or extensions of credit or commitments to make advances or extensions of credit under this Agreement, such Lender shall so notify Agent in writing. Within fifteen (15) days notice from Agent, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income, reduced return on equity or capital, or additional expense after presentation by such Lender of a statement concerning such increase in cost, reduction in income, reduced return on equity or capital, or additional expense. Such statement shall set forth a brief explanation of the amount and such Lender’s calculation of the amount (in determining such amount such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods), which statement shall be conclusively deemed correct absent manifest error.

b. Borrower shall pay to each Lender, on the date of prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan, any loss or expense which each Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into, or extension of, LIBOR Rate Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (b) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans on a day which is not the last day of a LIBOR Interest Period with respect thereto. With respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, such indemnification shall equal the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted, or extended, for the period from the date of such prepayment, or of such failure to borrow, convert, or extend to the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert, or extend, the LIBOR Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such LIBOR Rate Loans provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by Agent) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the

interbank Eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and the payment of the Obligations.

2.10 Capital Adequacy: If any present or future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, directive or similar requirement (whether or not having the force of law) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any capital adequacy, capital maintenance or similar requirement which affects the manner in which any Lender allocates capital resources to its commitments (including any commitments hereunder), and as a result thereof, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, the rate of return on such Lender’s capital with regard to the Loans and/or its obligations hereunder is reduced to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such circumstances taking into account such Lender’s policies regarding capital adequacy, then in such case, and within thirty (30) days of notice from Agent to Borrower, from time to time, Borrower shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for such reduction in its rate of return. Such notice shall contain the statement of such Lender with regard to any such amount or amounts, which shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding upon Borrower. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution that it deems applicable.

2.11 Termination of Loans: This Agreement shall terminate, except for those provisions that expressly survive the terms hereof, on the later of : (1) repayment to Agent, Issuing Bank, and Lenders of all Obligations hereunder, or (2) the Maturity Date.

SECTION 9. AGENT

9.1 Appointment and Authorization: Each Lender, and each subsequent holder of any of the Revolving Credit Notes by its acceptance thereof, hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, 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 Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have to be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or otherwise exist against 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 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.

9.2 General Immunity: Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Agent will handle all transactions relating to the Loans and all other Obligations, including, without

limitation, all transactions with respect to Letters of Credit, this Agreement, the Loan Documents and all related documents in accordance with its usual banking practices. In performing its duties as Agent hereunder, Agent will take the same care as it takes in connection with loans in which it alone is interested. However, neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.3 Consultation with Counsel: Agent may consult with legal counsel and any other professional advisors or consultants deemed necessary or appropriate and selected by Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

9.4 Documents: Agent shall not be under a duty to examine into or pass upon the effectiveness, genuineness or validity of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, and Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and what they purport to be. In addition Agent shall not be liable for failing to make any inquiry concerning the accuracy, performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of such instrument or document.

9.5 Rights as a Lender: With respect to its applicable Pro Rata Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with Borrower and its Affiliates as if it were not Agent.

9.6 Responsibility of Agent: It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and that Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, unless Agent has actual knowledge of such fact. Except to the extent Agent is required by Lenders pursuant to the express terms hereof to take a specific action, Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any rights which may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions that it may be able to take under or in respect of, this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement and the Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment, or that may seem to it to be necessary or desirable under the circumstances.

9.7 Collections and Disbursements:

a. Agent will have the right to collect and receive all payments of the Obligations, and to collect and receive all reimbursements for draws made under the Letters of Credit, together with all fees, charges or other amounts due under this Agreement and the Loan

Documents and to distribute such payments to Lenders and Issuing Bank in accordance with the terms of Section 2.3.

b. Agent shall pay to each Lender, on each Settlement Date, from the interest actually received by Agent from Borrower, a sum equal to the interest calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days, on each Lender’s outstanding balance of its Revolving Credit at the rate equal to the applicable rate of interest chosen by Borrower with respect to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Advances outstanding. If Agent should for any reason receive less than the full amount of the interest or other compensation due under the Loan Documents, each Lender’s share of such interest or compensation shall decrease in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage.

c. If any such payment received by Agent is rescinded, determined to be unenforceable or invalid or is otherwise required to be returned for any reason at any time, whether before or after termination of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, each Lender will, upon written notice from Agent, promptly pay over to Agent its Pro Rata Percentage of the amount so rescinded, held unenforceable or invalid or required to be returned, together with interest and other fees thereon if also required to be rescinded or returned.

d. All payments by Agent and Lenders to each other hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. Agent will at all times maintain proper books of account and records reflecting the interest of each Lender in the Revolving Credit and the Letters of Credit, in a manner customary to Agent’s keeping of such records, which books and records shall be available for inspection by each Lender at reasonable times during normal business hours, at such Lender’s sole expense. In the event that any Lender shall receive any payments in reduction of the Obligations in an amount greater than its applicable Pro Rata Percentage in respect of indebtedness to Lenders evidenced hereby (including, without limitation amounts obtained by reason of setoffs), such Lender shall hold such excess in trust (to the extent such Lender is lawfully able to do so) for Agent (on behalf of all other Lenders) and shall promptly remit to Agent such excess amount so that the amounts received by each Lender hereunder shall at all times be in accordance with its applicable Pro Rata Percentage. To the extent necessary for each Lender’s actual percentage of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to equal its applicable Pro Rata Percentage, the Lender having a greater share of any payment(s) than its applicable Pro Rata Percentage shall acquire a participation in the applicable outstanding balances of the Pro Rata Shares of the other Lenders as determined by Agent.

9.8 Indemnification: To the extent not promptly paid by Borrower, each Lender hereby indemnifies Agent (and Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit) ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent (or Issuing Bank, as the case may be) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent (or Issuing Bank, as the case may be) under or related to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Loans, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Agent’s (or Issuing Bank’s, as the case may be) gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent

shall have the right to deduct, from any amounts to be paid by Agent to any Lender hereunder, any amounts owing to Agent by such Lender by virtue of this paragraph.

9.9 Expenses:

a. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and out-of- pocket expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the creation, amendment, administration, termination and enforcement of the Loans (including without limitation, audit expenses, counsel fees and expenditures to protect, preserve and defend Agent’s and each Lender’s rights and interest under the Loan Documents) shall, to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower, be shared and paid on demand by Lenders pro rata based on their applicable Pro Rata Percentage.

b. Agent may deduct from payments or distributions to be made to Lenders such funds as may be necessary to pay or reimburse Agent for such costs or expenses.

9.10 No Reliance: By execution of or joining in this Agreement, each Lender acknowledges that it has entered into this Agreement and the Loan Documents solely upon its own independent investigation and is not relying upon any information supplied by or any representations made by Agent. Each Lender shall continue to make its own analysis (including any credit analysis) and evaluation of Borrower. Agent makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition or Property of Borrower; the accuracy, sufficiency or currency of any information concerning the financial condition, prospects or results of operations of Borrower; or for sufficiency, authenticity, legal effect, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents. Agent assumes no responsibility or liability with respect to the collectibility of the Obligations or the performance by any Borrower of any obligation under the Loan Documents.

9.11 Resignation of Agent: Agent may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of the appointment as a successor Agent hereunder by such successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, obligations and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

9.12 Action on Instructions of Lenders: With respect to any provision of this Agreement, or any issue arising there under, concerning which Agent is authorized to act or withhold action by direction of Lenders (or as the case may be under this Agreement, the Majority Lenders), Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in so acting, or in so refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with written instructions signed by Lenders. Such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders.

9.13 Several Obligations: The obligation of each Lender is several, and neither Agent nor any other Lender shall be responsible for any obligation or commitment hereunder of any other Lender.

In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnified party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

Upon such execution and delivery of the Assignment and Acceptance to Agent, from and after the date specified as the effective date in the Assignment and Acceptance (the “Acceptance Date”), (x) 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, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance,

relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have pursuant to Section 9.4 which will survive) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

d. Within 5 Business Days after demand by Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent in exchange for any surrendered Revolving Credit Note (which the assigning Lender agrees to promptly deliver to Borrower) a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of the assignee in an amount equal to the Pro Rata Share assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, and if the assigning Lender has retained a Pro Rata Share hereunder, a new Revolving Credit Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Pro Rata Share retained by it hereunder. Such new Revolving Credit Note shall re-evidence the indebtedness outstanding under the old Revolving Credit Notes or Revolving Credit Notes, and shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Revolving Credit Note, shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the Revolving Credit Note subject to such assignments.

e. Each Lender may sell participations (without the consent of Agent, Borrower or any other Lender) to one or more parties in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share, the Revolving Credit Loans owing to it and the Revolving Credit Note held by it); provided that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Pro Rata Share to Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Revolving Credit Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) Borrower, Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) such Lender shall not transfer, grant, assign or sell any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (A) extend the final maturity date or the date for the payments of any installment of fees or principal or interest of any Revolving Credit Loan or Reimbursement Obligations in which such participant is participating, (B) reduce the amount of any installment of principal of the Loans or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations in which such participant is participating, (C) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, reduce the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in which such participant is participating, or (D) except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, reduce any Fees payable hereunder.

f. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of Borrower and Agent, it will not make any assignment or sell a participation hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Revolving Credit Loan, Revolving Credit Note, or other Obligation under the securities laws of the United States of America or of any jurisdiction.

g. In connection with the efforts of any Lender to assign its rights or obligations or to participate interests, Agent or such Lender may disclose any information in its possession regarding Borrower, its finances and/or Property.
