28

2.3 Interest Rates; Payment of Principal and Interest.

(a) Borrower shall make each payment due hereunder by making, or causing to be made, the amount thereof available to Agent’s Account, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the date of payment, for the account of the Lender Group. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, if not paid to Agent in immediately available funds within 3 Business Days of the date when such payment was due, to obtain quarterly payments in respect of such interest provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (as and when payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) by debiting any account of Borrower with CNB in an amount equal to the amount thereof. If Borrower fails to make any such payment when due, Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Agent to charge such interest and all other fees, expenses, and other Lender Group Expenses provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (as and when payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents), to Borrower’s Loan Account as a Loan, and if such amounts are charged to Borrower’s Loan Account as a Loan, such amounts thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder.

(i) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (including agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), aggregate principal and interest payments under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) and applied thereto and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account, after giving effect to any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Subject to Section 2.3(a)(iv) below, all payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied as follows:

(A) first, to pay any fees and Lender Group Expenses then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

(B) second, to pay any fees and Lender Group Expenses then due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full,

(C) third, to pay interest and Funding Losses due in respect of the Loans until paid in full,

(D) fourth, to pay the outstanding principal balance of all Loans (including the Swing Loans) until paid in full,

29

(E) fifth, to pay any other Obligations (other than Obligations owing to Defaulting Lenders) until paid in full,

(F) sixth, to pay any Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders until paid in full, and

(G) seventh, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(iii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive.

(iv) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Section 2.3(a)(ii) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrower to Agent and specified by Borrower in a written notice to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement.

(v) For purposes of the foregoing, “paid in full” means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, Funding Losses, and expense reimbursements, whether or not any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(vi) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.3 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3 shall control and govern.

(b) Subject to Section 2.4, each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest upon the unpaid principal balance thereof, from and including the date advanced or converted, to but excluding the date of conversion or repayment thereof, at a fluctuating rate, per annum, equal to the lesser of (i) the greater of (x) Base Rate plus the relevant Applicable Margin for the applicable Revolving Credit Facility and (y) 2.50%, and (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate. Any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Base Rate will become effective on the day on which each change in the Base Rate is announced by Agent. Interest due with respect to Base Rate Loans shall be due and payable, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Loan and on the Applicable Maturity Date; provided, that with respect to any prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof, the interest due with respect to the amount to be prepaid in accordance therewith and on the date required thereby, shall be calculated as the ratable portion of the accrued interest on the amount required to be so prepaid and that such accrued interest shall be calculated as if on or with respect to the Loan most recently advanced prior to the date of such prepayment.

30

(c) Subject to Section 2.4, each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest upon the unpaid principal balance thereof, from and including the date advanced, converted, or continued to but excluding the date of conversion or repayment thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the LIBOR Rate plus the relevant Applicable Margin for the applicable Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate. Interest due with respect to each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable in cash, in arrears, on each Interest Payment Date applicable to that LIBOR Rate Loan and on the Applicable Maturity Date. Anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, Borrower may not have more than seven (7) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

(d) Unless prepaid in accordance with the terms hereof, the outstanding principal balance of all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable, in full, on the Applicable Maturity Date.

2.4 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, under Section 7.1(d) or (e), and upon and during the continuation of any other Event of Default at the option of Agent or the Required Lenders, and without affecting any of the other rights and remedies provided for herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the unpaid principal amount of the Loans and any other amounts owing hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall bear interest thereafter, at a per annum rate that is 2.00 percentage points higher than the rate that is otherwise applicable under this Agreement. All amounts payable under this Section 2.4 shall be immediately due and payable in cash without the requirement of notice or demand.

2.5 Computation of Interest and Fees Maximum Interest Rate.

(a) All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year (or a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, for Base Rate Loans), in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue. In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate. Interest shall accrue from the first day of the making of a Loan (or the date on which interest or fees or other payments are due hereunder, if applicable) to (but not including) the date of repayment of such Loan (or the date of the payment of interest or fees or other payments, if applicable) in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(b) Anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement notwithstanding, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay, and Agent shall not be entitled to charge, collect, receive, reserve, or take interest (it being understood that interest shall be calculated as the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under applicable law that are contracted for, charged, reserved, received, or paid) in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. During any period of time in which the interest rates specified herein exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, interest shall accrue and be payable at such Highest Lawful Rate; provided, that if the interest rate otherwise applicable hereunder declines below the Highest Lawful Rate, interest shall continue to accrue and be payable at the Highest Lawful Rate (so long as there remains any unpaid principal with respect to the Loans) until the interest that has been paid hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been paid if interest had at all times accrued and been payable at the applicable interest rates otherwise specified in this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to this loan transaction which lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful, non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall be made on a Business Day, and each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made on a Eurodollar Business Day.

(b) Each Borrowing shall be made by a written Request for Borrowing, which Request for Borrowing shall be irrevocable, given by an Authorized Person by telefacsimile, mail, e-mail (in a format bearing a copy of the signature(s) required thereon), or personal service, and delivered to Agent at ▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, telefacsimile number (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, e-mail address ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇.▇▇▇.

Each Request for Borrowing shall be made not later than 9:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on or before the date described below:

(i) in the case of a request for a Swing Loan, on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date,

(ii) in the case of all other requests:

(1) if such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Loan, on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date, and such Request for Borrowing shall specify (among other things) that a Base Rate Loan is requested and state the amount thereof; or

(2) if such Borrowing is to be a LIBOR Rate Loan, at least three Eurodollar Business Days (or such lesser period as agreed to by all Lenders in their discretion) prior to the date that is the requested Funding Date, and such Request for Borrowing shall specify (among other things) that a LIBOR Rate Loan is requested and state the amount and Interest Period thereof (subject to the provisions of this Article II); provided, that no Loan shall be available as a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If Borrower fails to designate a Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan in accordance herewith, the Loan will be a Base Rate Loan. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice

A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.6(b)(ii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) If the notice provided for in clause (b) of this Section 2.6 with respect to a Base Rate Loan, a LIBOR Rate Loan is received by Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on a Business Day, such day shall be treated as the first Business Day of the required notice period. In any other event, such notice will be treated as having been received immediately before 9:00 a.m. (Pacific time) of the next Business Day, and such day shall be treated as the first Business Day of the required notice period.

(d) [Intentionally Omitted].

(e) In the case of a Request for Borrowing of a Swing Loan and so long as the aggregate amount of Swing Loans outstanding, after taking into account the requested Swing Loan does not exceed $0, or Swing Lender, in its sole discretion, agrees to make a Swing Loan notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, Swing Lender shall make a Revolving Loan (any such Loan made by Swing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and all such Revolving Loans being referred to as “Swing Loans”) available to Borrower on the Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds in the amount of such requested Swing Loan to the Designated Account. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be a Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all the terms and conditions (including Article III) applicable to other Loans, except that all payments (including interest) on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Lender solely for its own account. Swing Lender shall not make and shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan if Swing Lender has actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Swing Loan unless such condition has been waived in accordance with Section 11.2, or (ii) the requested Loan would exceed the amount that Borrower is entitled to borrow as Loans hereunder (after giving effect to all then outstanding Obligations and all sublimits then applicable hereunder) on such Funding Date. The Swing Loans shall be secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Loans and Obligations, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the Swing Loan sublimit hereunder shall be deemed zero for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

33

(f) In the event that Swing Lender is not obligated to make a Swing Loan, then promptly after receipt of a Request for Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.6(b), Agent shall notify the Lenders, not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date applicable thereto (in the case of a Base Rate Loan) or the third Eurodollar Business Day preceding the Funding Date (in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan), by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of the requested Loan. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the Funding Date applicable thereto. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Loans from the Lenders, Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to Borrower’s Designated Account; provided, that Agent shall not request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have an obligation to make, any Loan if Agent shall have actual knowledge that (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Loan unless such condition has been waived in accordance with Section 11.2, or (ii) the requested Loan would exceed the amount that Borrower is entitled to borrow as Loans hereunder (after giving effect to all then outstanding Obligations) on such Funding Date.

(g) Unless Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or, with respect to any Loan after the Closing Date, prior to 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the Funding Date of such Loan, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan, Agent may assume that each Lender has made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding 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 (other than CNB) 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 Business Day following such Funding Date, make such amount available to Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A notice submitted by Agent to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection 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 Funding Date of such Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will 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 Funding Date of such Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans composing such Loan, without in any way prejudicing the rights and remedies of Borrower against the Defaulting Lender; provided, that to the extent that Borrower does not have the funds available on such date to fully repay such amount (together with interest as specified above) and if on or before the Business Day following the date Agent notified Borrower of such failure to fund, the Borrower shall issue a Capital Call Notice to the Investors for Capital Contributions in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreements in an amount (together with Borrower’s available funds) sufficient to repay such amount (together with interest as specified above). Borrower may repay such amount (together with interest as specified above) within twelve (12) Business Days following the date Agent notified Borrower of such failure to fund. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Funding Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on any Funding Date.

(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a)(ii), Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to Swing Lender to the extent of any Swing Loans that were made by Swing Lender and that were required to be, but were not, paid by the Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.6(i), (B) second, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Revolver Commitments (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a Loan (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (C) third, to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of Borrower (upon the request of Borrower and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.2) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Loans (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (D) fourth, from and after the date on which all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (G) of Section 2.3(a)(ii). Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.10(b), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Revolver Commitment shall be deemed to be zero; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed by Section 11.2(a)(i) through (iii).

(ii) If any Swing Loan is outstanding at the time that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(A) such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Loan Exposures under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolver Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at such time;

(B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Loan Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above); and

(C) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swing Lender shall not be required to make any Swing Loan to the extent (x) the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loans cannot be reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.6(h)(ii) or (y) the Swing Lender has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Swing Lender and Borrower to eliminate the Swing Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Loans.

35

(iii) With respect to any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s Revolver Commitment and outstanding Loans shall be excluded for the purposes of calculating the Daily Unused Line Fee payable to Lenders and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Daily Unused Line Fee or any other fee with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolver Commitment or Loans.

The provisions of this Section 2.6(h) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (x) the date on which all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrower shall have waived, in writing, the application of this Section 2.6(h) to such Defaulting Lender, or (y) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder. The operation of this Section 2.6(h) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Revolver Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower, at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Revolver Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations (including all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof); provided, that any such assumption of any Revolver Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.6(h) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.6(h) shall control and govern.

(iv) It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Lender, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to the Loans and the Swing Loans shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions: (i) Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if reasonably practicable as determined by Agent in its sole discretion (1) on behalf of Swing Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Loans, and (2) with respect to Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ payments or other amounts received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such

36

requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans and Swing Loans for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.6(h)): (y) if the amount of the Loans made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans (including Swing Loans) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Loans (including Swing Loans), and (z) if the amount of the Loans (including Swing Loans) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans (including Swing Loans) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to Agent’s Account, an amount such that such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Loans (including Swing Loans). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing Loans and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans representing Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Loans of such Lenders (and shall no longer constitute Swing Loans). If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate; (ii) in determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Loans and Swing Loans is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans and Swing Loans as of a Settlement Date, Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrower and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral; (iii) between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender any payments or other amounts received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Loans, for application to the Swing Loans; (iv) between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Lender any payments or other amounts received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Loans, for application to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans; and (v) if, as of any Settlement Date, payments or other amounts of Borrower or its Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to Swing Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans other than to Swing Loans, as provided for in the previous clause (iv), Swing Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if Agent has implemented the provisions of Section 2.6(h)), to be applied to the outstanding Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each of such Lenders shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, Swing Lender with respect to Swing Loans and each Lender with respect to the Loans other than Swing Loans, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Swing Lender, Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable. Anything in this Section 2.6(i) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement the provisions set forth in Section 2.6(h).

37

(i) Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans, the portions thereof owing to each Lender, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such records shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.

(j) All Loans shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Loan (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Revolver Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

2.7 Conversion or Continuation.

(a) Conversion or Continuation.

(i) Subject to the provisions of clause (a)(iv) of this Section 2.7 and the provisions of Section 2.13, Borrower shall have the option to (A) convert all or any portion of the outstanding Base Rate Loans equal to $100,000, and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of such amount, to a LIBOR Rate Loan, (B) convert all or any portion of the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans equal to $250,000 and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of such amount, to a Base Rate Loan, and (C) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any of its LIBOR Rate Loans, continue all or any portion of such LIBOR Rate Loan equal to $250,000, and integral multiples of $50,000 in excess of such amount, as a LIBOR Rate Loan, and the succeeding Interest Period of such continued Loan shall commence on the expiration date of the Interest Period previously applicable thereto; provided, that a LIBOR Rate Loan only may be converted or continued, as the case may be, on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless Borrower pays any Funding Losses incurred by any of the Lenders; provided further, that no outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further, that if, before the expiration of an Interest Period of a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower fails to timely deliver the appropriate Request for LIBOR Conversion/Continuation, such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan.

(ii) Borrower shall by telefacsimile, mail, e-mail (in a format bearing a copy of the signature(s) required thereon), personal service or by telephone (which shall be confirmed by one of the other means of delivery) deliver a Request for LIBOR Conversion/Continuation to Agent (A) no later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) one Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan), and (B) no later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) three Eurodollar Business Days before (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a LIBOR Rate Loan). A Request for LIBOR Conversion/Continuation shall specify (A) the proposed conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day or a Eurodollar Business Day, as applicable), (B) the amount and type of the Loan to be converted or continued, and (C) the nature of the proposed conversion or continuation.

38

(iii) Any Request for LIBOR Conversion/Continuation (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable, and Borrower shall be obligated to convert or continue in accordance therewith.

(iv) No Loan (or portion thereof) may be converted into, or continued as, a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period that ends after the Applicable Maturity Date.

2.8 Mandatory Repayment.

(a) The Revolver Commitments with respect to the applicable Revolving Credit Facility shall automatically terminate on the Applicable Maturity Date. All Loans, all interest that has accrued hereunder and remains unpaid thereon, all unpaid fees, costs, or expenses that are payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and all other Obligations under each applicable Revolving Credit Facility immediately shall be due and payable in full, without notice or demand, on the Applicable Maturity Date.

(b) If on any date, the then outstanding Revolving Credit Facility Usage with respect to the applicable Revolving Credit Facility exceeds the then extant amount of the applicable Maximum Revolver Amount, then, and in each such event, Borrower shall repay the Obligations in the amount of such excess to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, (i) promptly (but in any event, no later than one Business Day following the event giving rise to a mandatory prepayment under this clause (b)), to the extent the Borrower has available funds in the Collateral Accounts in the amount of such excess and (ii) no later than 15 Business Days following the event giving rise to a mandatory prepayment under this clause (b), to the extent that it is necessary for the Borrower to issue a Capital Call Notice to the Investors to fund such required payment (and the Borrower shall issue such Capital Call Notice in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreements during such time period and shall pay such excess within such time period).

(c) In the event that, on any date, the then outstanding Revolving Credit Facility Usage with respect to the Subscription Facility exceeds the then extant Borrowing Base, then, and in each such event, Borrower shall repay the Obligations in the amount of such excess to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, (i) promptly (but in any event, no later than one Business Day following the event giving rise to a mandatory prepayment under this clause (c)), to the extent the Borrower has available funds in the Collateral Accounts in the amount of such excess and (ii) no later than 15 Business Days following the event giving rise to a mandatory prepayment under this clause (c), to the extent that it is necessary for the Borrower to issue a Capital Call Notice to the Investors to fund such required payment (and the Borrower shall issue such Capital Call Notice in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreements during such time period and shall pay such excess within such time period).

39

(d) If on any date, (i) the Cash Collateral Coverage Ratio is less than 1.01:1.00 or (ii) the Uncalled Capital Coverage is less than 15%, then, in either case, Borrower shall repay the Obligations in an amount that is sufficient to ensure pro forma compliance with clause (i) and/or (ii), as applicable, to Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, (x) promptly (but in any event, no later than one Business Day following the event giving rise to a mandatory prepayment under this clause (d)), to the extent the Borrower has available funds in the Collateral Accounts in such amount and (y) no later than 15 Business Days following the event giving rise to a mandatory prepayment under this clause (d), to the extent that it is necessary for the Borrower to issue a Capital Call Notice to the Investors to fund such required payment (and the Borrower shall issue such Capital Call Notice in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreements during such time period and shall pay such excess within such time period).

2.9 Voluntary Prepayments; Termination of Commitments.

(a) Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to prepay the Loans without penalty or premium. Unless waived by Agent, Borrower shall give Agent written notice not less than one Business Day prior to any such prepayment with respect to Base Rate Loans and not less than three Eurodollar Business Days prior written notice of any such prepayment with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. In each case, such notice shall specify the date on which such prepayment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day, as applicable), and the amount of such prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $250,000 (or, in each case, such lesser amount constituting the amount of all Loans then outstanding) and shall include interest accrued on the amount prepaid to, but not including, the date of payment in accordance with the terms hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Borrower may not make a partial principal prepayment on a LIBOR Rate Loan, and (ii) Borrower may prepay the full outstanding principal balance on a LIBOR Rate Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period; provided, that such prepayment shall be subject to Section 2.6(b)(ii).

(b) Borrower may, as of any Business Day, reduce the Revolver Commitments with respect to a Revolving Credit Facility in part, without premium or penalty, to an amount not less than the sum of (A) the Revolving Credit Facility Usage with respect to the applicable Revolving Credit Facility as of such date, plus (B) the principal amount of all Loans not yet made as to which a request has been given by Borrower under Section 2.6. Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is not less than $250,000, shall be made by providing not less than three Business Days prior written notice to Agent, and shall be irrevocable. Once reduced, the applicable Revolver Commitments may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Revolver Commitments shall reduce the Revolver Commitments of each Lender with respect to the applicable Revolving Credit Facility proportionately in accordance with its ratable share thereof.

(c) Borrower has the option, at any time upon three Business Days’ prior written notice by Borrower to Agent, to terminate this Agreement and terminate the applicable Revolver Commitments under either Revolving Credit Facility hereunder by paying to Agent, in cash, the Obligations in full. Promptly following receipt of any notice, Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.9(c) shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice of termination of the Revolver Commitments delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. If

40

Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.9(c), then (subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence) the applicable Revolver Commitments shall terminate and Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Obligations in full on the date set forth as the date of termination of this Agreement in such notice. Any termination of any Revolver Commitments shall be permanent.

2.10 Fees.

(a) Fee Letter. Borrower shall pay to Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b) Unused Line Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders an unused line fee equal to the sum of the applicable Daily Unused Line Fee for each day during such fiscal quarter, which unused line fee shall accrue from and after the Closing Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter after the Closing Date.

2.11 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with all Loans made by the Lenders (or Agent on behalf thereof) to Borrower or for Borrower’s account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses. Agent shall render statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrower, including principal, interest, fees, and including an itemization of all expenses owing, and such statements shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate (absent manifest error) and constitute an account stated between Borrower and Agent unless, within 30 days after receipt thereof by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.

2.12 Increased Costs.

(a) If, after the Closing Date, the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent or the Lenders (or their Affiliates) with any request, guideline, or directive (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (each of the foregoing in this clause (a), a “Regulatory Change”) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement (including any such requirement imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, but excluding, with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, any such requirement included in the calculation of the Base LIBOR Rate, as applicable) against Assets of, deposits with, or for the account of, or credit extended by, Agent or the Lenders (or their Affiliates) or shall impose on Agent or the Lenders (or their Affiliates) or the interbank eurodollar market any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, then, Agent may or such Lender, by written notice given to Borrower, require Borrower to pay to the Lender Group such additional amounts as shall compensate the Lender Group for any such increased cost, reduction, loss, or expense actually incurred by the Lender Group in connection with the Loans; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Agent or such Lender

41

pursuant to this Section 2.12 for any increased costs incurred or reductions incurred more than nine months prior to the date that Agent or such Lender notifies Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). Any such request for compensation by Agent under this Section 2.12 shall set forth the basis of calculation thereof and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the issuance of any rules, regulations or directions under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith after the date of this Agreement and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be change in law, rule, regulation or guideline for purposes of Section 2.12 and the protection of Section 2.12 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for lenders or issuing banks affected thereby to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements for comparable borrowers, if any.

2.13 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans; Benchmark Replacement. (a) Except in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election (for which the terms of clause (b) below will control), if Agent determines, on any Eurodollar Business Day, that it is unable to ascertain the Base LIBOR Rate for a new, continued, or converted LIBOR Rate Loan for any reason, including without limitation the discontinuance of the Base LIBOR Rate, or any Lender determines that any law, regulation, or governmental order, rule or determination makes it unlawful for such Lender to make a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower’s right to select LIBOR Rate Loans, will be suspended until Agent is again able to determine the Base LIBOR Rate or such Lender is able to make LIBOR Rate Loans, as the case may be. During such suspension, new Loans (including Swing Loans), outstanding Base Rate Loans, and LIBOR Rate Loans whose Interest Periods terminate may only be Base Rate Loans. Any determination by Agent or any Lender described in this Section 2.13 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace

42

such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (1) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (2) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (3) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (4) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and (5) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.13(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.13(b).

(iv) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (y) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (x) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

43

(v) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

2.14 Intentionally Omitted.

2.15 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.16 Funding Sources. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lenders (or Agent on behalf thereof) to obtain the funds to make any Loan in any particular place or manner and nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a representation by Agent or any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain such funds in any particular place or manner.

2.17 Place of Loans. All Loans made hereunder shall be disbursed by credit to Borrower’s Designated Account or as may otherwise be agreed to between Borrower and Agent.

2.18 Intentionally Omitted.

2.19 Term and Termination. Subject to a Lender’s right to cease making Loans to Borrower upon or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default and unless terminated as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be in effect with respect to the applicable Revolving Credit Facility, for a period commencing on the Closing Date through and including the Applicable Maturity Date.

EXPENSES AND INDEMNITIES

8.1 Expenses. Irrespective of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Borrower agrees to pay promptly on demand by Agent all of the Lender Group Expenses.

8.2 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of any expenses pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof, and irrespective of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, and without duplication of any additional amounts paid pursuant to Section 10.11(a), Borrower agrees to indemnify, exonerate, defend, pay, and hold harmless the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant (collectively, the “Indemnitees” and individually as “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses, and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees (including the allocated cost of internal counsel) in connection with any investigation, administrative, or judicial proceeding, whether such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of the Revolver Commitments, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any matter relating to or arising out of the filing or recordation of any of the Loan Documents which filing or recordation is done based upon information supplied by Borrower to Agent and its counsel (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that if determined in a final, non-appealable judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction that any obligation with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitee, then Borrower shall not have any obligation with respect to such Indemnified Liabilities. Each Indemnitee will promptly notify Borrower of each event of which it has knowledge which may give rise to a claim under the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.2. If any investigative, judicial, or administrative proceeding arising from any of the foregoing is brought against any Indemnitee indemnified or intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.2, Borrower will resist and defend such action, suit, or proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel designated by Borrower (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee or intended Indemnitee). Each Indemnitee will use its reasonable efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, writ, or proceeding. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay, and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law. The obligations of Borrower under this Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the discharge of Borrower’s other obligations hereunder.

(a) Any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”; provided, that none of Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted to become an Assignee) approved by Agent and Borrower ((x) such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned and not to be required in connection with assignments to other Lenders or their Affiliates, and (y) such approval of Borrower not to be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Obligations, its applicable Revolver Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or the remaining amount of any Lender’s Revolver Commitment, if less); provided, that Borrower and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, fully executed and delivered by each party thereto, and (iii) the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $3,500. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the payment of any fees shall not be required if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the assigning Lender.

(b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance satisfying clause (a) above and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (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 the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning 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 (except with respect to Section 8.2 hereof) and be released from any future 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 and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall effect a novation between Borrower and the Assignee; provided, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Article 10 and Section 11.1 of this Agreement.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other

68

documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. In the Assignment and Acceptance, the Assignee shall represent and warrant to the assigning Lender and the other parties to the applicable Assignment and Acceptance that such Assignment and Acceptance is enforceable against such Assignee.

(d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee payment and the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance satisfying clause (a) above, 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 applicable Revolver Commitments arising therefrom. The applicable Revolver Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Revolver Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in its Obligations, the applicable Revolver Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the applicable Revolver Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and 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, (iii) Borrower, Agent, and the Lenders 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, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right 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 to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of or forgive any portion of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) postpone the payment of, or reduce the interest rate or fees applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender, or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have

69

the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrower, the collections of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves. Each Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent for and on behalf of Borrower, shall maintain at its address a register (a “Participant Register”) showing the names and addresses of each Participant to which such Lender has sold participating interests and the amount of each Participant’s interest in such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, from time to time and such records shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 9.1(e) are intended to comply with the registration requirements in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c), or any successor provisions thereof, so that any payments made under any Loan Document are considered to be paid on a debt instrument issued in “registered form” pursuant to such regulations, and all parties hereto shall construe the provisions of this Agreement to ensure that the Loan Documents will be considered to have been so issued. Solely for the purposes of establishing that each Loan, Revolver Commitment or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations, each Lender shall make the Participant Register available to the Agent (acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrower) during normal business hours at the place of business of such Lender where such Participant Register is normally maintained for inspection and duplication at Borrower’s expense. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 11.12, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.

(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 C.F.R. §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

9.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.

AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP

10.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints CNB as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent (in its capacity as Agent) to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lender Group, and to take such other 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 Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article X. The provisions of this Article X (other than the proviso to Section 10.11(a)) are solely for the benefit of Agent, and the Lenders, and Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, 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; it being expressly understood and agreed that the use of the word “Agent” is for convenience only, that CNB, in its capacity as Agent, is merely the agent of the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrower, the Obligations, the Collateral, the collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

10.2 Delegation of Duties. 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. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

71

10.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer or director 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 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 books or records or properties of Borrower or the books or records or properties of any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

10.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 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 requisite Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

10.5 Notice of Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Unmatured Event of Default or Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Unmatured Event of Default or

72

Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 10.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 7.2; provided, that unless and until Agent has 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 Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

10.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender 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 or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person party to a Loan Document. 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 and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

10.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from the collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries received by Agent, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse Agent for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified

73

Liabilities resulting solely from such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make a Loan or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) 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. The undertaking in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

10.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. CNB and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though CNB were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, CNB or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include CNB in its capacity as a Lender hereunder.

10.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days’ notice to the Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders. In any such event, 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 X 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 45 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, 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 Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

74

10.10 Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

10.11 Withholding Taxes.

(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes (unless required by applicable law), and in the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required, Borrower (or its agents) shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall comply with the penultimate sentence of this Section 10.11(a). If any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) are so deducted or withheld by Borrower, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 10.11(a) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or such Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrower.

(b) Any Lender or Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, as applicable, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or Agent, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, as applicable, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements (including with respect to FATCA). Without limitation of the foregoing, if a Lender claims an exemption from United States withholding tax, Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrower, to deliver to Agent:

(i) if such Lender claims an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to its portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of the Lender, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (II) a 10% shareholder of Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower;

75

(ii) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower;

(iii) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower; or

(iv) such other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the Internal Revenue Code or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(c) If any Lender claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender agrees with and in favor of Agent and Borrower, to deliver to Agent and Borrower any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent and Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(d) If any Lender sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower, such Lender agrees to notify Agent and Borrower of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent and Borrower will treat such Lender’s documentation provided pursuant to Section 10.11(b) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, the transferee must provide new documentation.

(e) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (b) of this Section 10.11 are not timely delivered to Agent, then Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.

76

(f) If the IRS 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 due to a failure on the part of the Lender (because the appropriate form was not timely 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 and hold Agent harmless 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 10.11, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

10.12 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Revolver Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or requested in connection therewith and if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owned any interest at the time the Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Agent will not contractually subordinate any of Agent’s Liens, without the prior written authorization of (A) if, with respect to the Collateral, the release or contractual subordination is with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (B) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.12; provided, that (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.

77

10.13 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or any deposit accounts of Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent (which request shall not be made by Agent unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (1) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

10.14 Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect from time to time, can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

10.15 Payments by Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.

10.16 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

10.17 Field Examinations and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field examination or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrower and will rely significantly upon the books or records or Borrower, as well as on representations of Borrower’s personnel,

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 11.12, and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any Loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans or other credit accommodations made to Borrower, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Borrower to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Borrower to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent has the right, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from Borrower, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request

79

Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Borrower, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

10.18 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Revolver Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Revolver Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 10.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its Revolver Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

10.19 Legal Representation of Agent. In connection with the negotiation, drafting, and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in connection with future legal representation relating to loan administration, amendments, modifications, waivers, or enforcement of remedies, KMR only has represented and only shall represent CNB in its capacity as Agent and as a Lender. Each other Lender hereby acknowledges that KMR does not represent it in connection with any such matters.

10.20 Prohibited Event. In the event a Lender notifies Agent that, subsequent to the Closing Date, such Lender or any of its Affiliates: (i) has become a fiduciary with respect to any ERISA Investor in connection with its investment in Borrower or this transaction, or (ii) has acquired any discretionary authority or control with respect to any ERISA Investor’s investment in Borrower, or renders any investment advice (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-21(c) or any successor regulation of the United States Department of Labor under ERISA) with respect to such investment, the parties hereby agree that the event described in clause (i) or (ii) above (the “Prohibited Event”) shall be deemed to have caused a prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A), (B), (C) or (D) of the Internal Revenue Code, with respect to the transactions described in this Agreement, and the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with each other to correct such deemed prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise; provided, that such Prohibited Event shall not be an Event of Default or otherwise a breach of this Agreement by the Borrower or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any such correction shall prevent such Lender from receiving any direct or indirect fees, loan repayments, or any other benefits from such ERISA Investor. If Agent determines at any time in its reasonable discretion that any of the corrections described herein are insufficient to correct any deemed prohibited transaction in accordance with Section 4975(f)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code or otherwise, then the parties shall also cooperate to replace such affected Lender.
