CREDIT AGREEMENT

This CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 21, 2007, is entered into by and among FIBERNET OPERATIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“FiberNet”), as a Borrower and a Credit Party; DEVNET L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Devnet”), as a Borrower and a Credit Party; FIBERNET TELECOM GROUP, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), as a Guarantor and a Credit Party; FIBERNET TELECOM, INC., a Delaware corporation (“FiberNet Telecom”), as a Guarantor and a Credit Party; AVAILIUS, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Availius”), as a Guarantor and a Credit Party; LOCAL FIBER, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Local Fiber”), as a Guarantor and a Credit Party; FIBERNET EQUAL ACCESS, L.L.C., a New York limited liability company (“FiberNet Equal Access”), as a Guarantor and a Credit Party; CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (in its individual capacity, “CapitalSource”), as administrative agent for the Lenders (CapitalSource, in such capacity, “Agent”); and the LENDERS from time to time parties hereto.

WHEREAS, the Credit Parties have requested that Lenders make available to Borrowers (i) a revolving credit facility (including a letter of credit sub-facility) (the “Revolving Facility”) in a maximum amount not to exceed the facility cap in effect from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Facility Cap”), the amount of which, initially, shall be Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000), (ii) a Term A Loan in an aggregate original principal amount of Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000), and (iii) a Term B Loan in an the principal amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), the proceeds of which, in each case, shall be used by Borrowers for purposes permitted under, and otherwise in accordance with and subject to the terms of, this Agreement.

WHEREAS, Lenders are willing to make the Revolving Facility, the Term A Loan and the Term B Loan available to Borrowers, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

I	DEFINITIONS

For purposes of all Loan Documents, (a) the terms listed in Appendix A hereto shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Appendix A, and (b) all capitalized terms used which are not specifically defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in Article 9 of the UCC. Unless otherwise specified, (a) any agreement or instrument referred to in any Loan Document shall mean such agreement or instrument, as modified, amended, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, subject to any applicable restrictions set forth therein, and (b) all accounting terms not defined in any Loan Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with GAAP. If any change in GAAP results in a change in the calculation of the financial covenants or interpretation of related provisions of any Loan Document, then the Credit Parties and Lender Parties agree to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes in GAAP with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Credit Parties’ financial condition shall be the same after such change in GAAP as if such change had not been made, provided that, until such amendments are effective, the calculations of financial covenants and the interpretation of any related provisions shall be calculated and interpreted in accordance with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such change in GAAP.

II	CREDIT FACILITIES

2.1

Revolving Facility

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Revolving Lender agrees to make available to Borrowers its Pro Rata Share of Advances from time to time prior to the Maturity Date; provided, that (i) the Pro Rata Share of Advances of any Revolving Lender shall not at any time exceed such Revolving Lender’s Commitment and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Advances at any time outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Limit. The obligations of Revolving Lenders are several, and not joint or joint and several. The Revolving Facility is a revolving credit facility that may be drawn, repaid and redrawn from time to time as permitted under this Agreement. Borrowers may not at any time increase, reduce or otherwise adjust the Facility Cap. Agent shall have the right to establish and readjust from time to time, in its Permitted Discretion and upon not less than ten Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrowers, reserves under the Revolving Facility, which reserves shall have the effect of reducing the amounts otherwise available to be disbursed to Borrowers under the Revolving Facility. The Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, on the Maturity Date.

2.2

Term Loans

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Term A Lender agrees to loan to Borrowers on the Closing Date such Term A Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term A Loan, which, in the aggregate for all Term A Lenders, shall be in the original principal amount of Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000). The Term A Loan is not a revolving credit facility and may not be drawn, repaid and redrawn, and payments of principal on the Term A Loan shall permanently reduce the Term A Loan. The obligations of Term A Lenders hereunder are several, and not joint or joint and several. Borrowers irrevocably authorize Agent and Term A Lenders to disburse the proceeds of the Term A Loan on the Closing Date in accordance with the applicable funds disbursement letter in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Term B Lender agrees to make available to Borrowers its Pro Rata Share of Term B Advances from time to time prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that (i) the Pro Rata Share of Term B Advances of any Term B Lender shall not at any time exceed such Term B Lender’s Term B Loan Commitment and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Term B Advances shall not exceed the principal amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). The Term B Loan is not a revolving credit facility and may not be drawn, repaid and redrawn, and payments of principal on the Term B Loan shall permanently reduce the Term B Loan. The obligations of Term B Lenders hereunder are several, and not joint or joint and several.

2.3

Letters of Credit

In the event that Borrowers and Agent have executed, or hereafter execute, the Letters of Credit Addendum to Credit Agreement in the form attached hereto as Appendix B (the “L/C Addendum”), then, subject to the terms set forth in the L/C Addendum, the Letter of Credit Documents and this Agreement, at the request of Borrowers, Agent agrees to arrange for the account of a Borrower one or more Letters of Credit, for the ratable risk of each Revolving Lender according to its Pro Rata Share, containing terms and conditions acceptable to Agent and the issuer thereof.

2.4

Evidence of Loans

(a) Each Lender shall maintain, in accordance with its usual practice, electronic or written records evidencing the Obligations to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from

time to time. Agent shall maintain electronic or written records (the “Register”) recording (i) the amount, class and type of each Loan made hereunder and all applicable interest rate periods, (ii) the amount of any principal and/or interest due and payable and/or to become due and payable from Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) all amounts received by Agent hereunder from Borrowers and each Lender’s share thereof. The Register shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations and indebtedness therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the Obligations in accordance with their terms. The Register shall be subject to the terms of Section 12.2(b) hereof. Within a reasonable period of time after written request from any Credit Party, Agent shall provide such Credit Party with a copy of the Register.

(b) Agent will account to Borrowers monthly with a statement of Advances and any charges and payments made pursuant to the Loan Documents, and in the absence of demonstrable error, such accounting rendered by Agent shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive unless Agent is notified by Borrowers in writing to the contrary within 15 calendar days of Receipt of such accounting, which notice shall be deemed an objection only to items specifically objected to therein.

(c) Upon written notice by Agent to Borrowers that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is requested by any Lender to evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable to, or to be made by, such Lender, Borrowers promptly (and in any event within three Business Days of any such request) shall execute and deliver to Agent an appropriate promissory note or notes in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and such Lender in their Permitted Discretion.

(d) Upon Agent’s (for itself or on behalf of any Lender) written request to Borrowers, and in any event within three Business Days of any such request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent new Notes and/or split or divide the Notes, or any of them, in exchange for the then existing subject Notes, in such amounts or denominations as Agent or such Lender shall specify; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of such new, split or divided Notes shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the then existing subject Notes outstanding at the time such request is made; and provided, further, that such Notes that are replaced shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder and shall be replaced by such new Notes and returned to Borrowers for cancellation within a reasonable period of time after Agent’s receipt of the replacement Notes.

(e) In the event of the mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of any Notes, Borrowers shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Notes to Borrowers, and in any event within three Business Days of any such request, execute and deliver to Agent new replacement Notes in the same form and original principal amount and original date as the Notes so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such replaced Notes shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder. If the Notes being replaced have been mutilated, they shall be surrendered to Borrowers after Agent’s receipt of the replacement Notes and if such replaced Notes have been destroyed, lost or stolen, such holder shall furnish Borrowers with an indemnity in writing reasonably acceptable to Borrowers to save them harmless in respect of such replaced Note.

2.5

Interest

(a) Subject to Section 2.5(b) and Section 2.7, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to its Applicable Rate in effect from time to time, plus its Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. Accrued interest on each Prime Rate Loan shall be due and payable in cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the date of any payment of Loans pursuant to this Agreement. Accrued interest on each LIBOR Loan shall be due and payable in cash in arrears on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan (and, for LIBOR Loans with Interest Periods longer than 90 days, on the 90th day of such Interest Period), and on the date of any payment of Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) If an Event of Default exists, (i) the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and (ii) the applicable Letter of Credit Fees shall be increased and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4(b) hereof, in each case upon written notice of such increase given by Agent, in its sole discretion, to Borrowers, provided, that, from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 8.1(g) or (h), such increase shall be automatic and without any notice from Agent or any other Person. In all such events, and notwithstanding the date on which application of the Default Rate or such increased Letter of Credit Fees is communicated to Borrowers, the Default Rate and such increased Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue from the initial date of any Event of Default until all existing Events of Default are waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall be payable in cash upon demand. Neither Agent nor Lenders shall be required to (A) accelerate the Loans, (B) terminate any Commitment or (C) exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or Applicable Law in order to charge the Default Rate.

2.6

Procedures for Advance under the Revolving Facility and Term B Advances

Each Advance and each Term B Advance shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall be made on a Business Day. Each Advance and each Term B Advance shall be made upon Borrowers’ irrevocable written request in the form of a completed Borrowing Certificate delivered to Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one but not more than four Business Days prior to the proposed Business Day on which such requested Advance is to be made (the “Borrowing Date”). On each Borrowing Date, Borrowers irrevocably authorize Agent and Revolving Lenders to disburse the proceeds of the requested Advance or Term B Advance to an account of a Borrower that is subject to an Account Control Agreement (and that is not solely a payroll account), for credit to such Borrower via Federal funds wire transfer.

2.7

LIBOR Loans

(a) Subject to Section 2.7(b) and provided no Default or Event of Default exists, Borrowers from time to time may elect to have all or a portion of the principal balance of any Loan bear interest at the LIBOR Rate as its Applicable Rate, such election to be exercised by delivery of a LIBOR Election Notice from Borrowers to Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least two Business Days prior to the Business Day on which the requested Interest Period will commence. Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be presumptively correct) the LIBOR Rate applicable to the relevant LIBOR Loan on the applicable Interest Rate Determination Date and promptly shall give notice thereof to Borrowers. Any LIBOR Election Notice received by Agent shall be irrevocable. Upon the expiration of an Interest Period the applicable LIBOR Loan shall be converted to and become a Prime Rate Loan unless such LIBOR Loan has been continued as a LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section 2.7(a). Each LIBOR Loan shall be in an amount not less than $100,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and at no time shall more than eight LIBOR Loans be in effect.

(b) If Agent in its Permitted Discretion determines that (i) Dollar deposits of the relevant amount for the relevant Interest Period are not available in the London interbank eurodollar market, (ii) the rate at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of maintaining a LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, (iii) the making or funding of LIBOR Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event which in the opinion of Agent materially affects such Loans, or (iv) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Interest Period, then in any such case Agent may give notice of such determination to Borrowers and if such notice is so given then, so long as such circumstances shall continue as determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion, (x) no Lender Party shall be required to make or convert any Prime Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, and (y) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan then existing, each such LIBOR Loan, unless then repaid in full, automatically shall convert to a Prime Rate Loan.

(c) If any change in any, or imposition of any new, Applicable Law, whether or not having the force of law, including, without limitation, the imposition of any reserve and/or special deposit requirement (other than reserves included in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements), results in or causes any Lender Party to be subject to any (i) tax, levy, impost, charge, fee, duty, deduction or withholding of any kind whatsoever in respect of any LIBOR Loan (other than any tax imposed upon the total Net Income of such Lender Party), (ii) increase in the cost to such Lender Party of maintaining any LIBOR Loan or (iii) reduction in the amount of principal or interest receivable by such Lender Party in respect of any LIBOR Loan, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lender Parties, within 10 Business Days after Receipt of a notice from Agent containing reasonably detailed calculations as to any such additional amounts sought, an amount equal to such increased cost or reduced amount, provided, that such losses and expenses are being charged by such Lender Party generally to its other borrowers of similar types of loans at such time, and provided, further, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any such increased cost or reduced amount which accrued prior to the day which is 180 days prior to the date upon which Agent first makes demand therefor.

(d) If any change in any, or imposition of any new, Applicable Law, whether or not having the force of law, including, without limitation, the imposition of any reserve and/or special deposit requirement (other than reserves included in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements), results in or causes it to be unlawful for any Lender Party to make, maintain or fund its share of any LIBOR Loan, then, upon the occurrence of such event, such Lender Party shall notify Agent and Agent shall notify Borrowers thereof and thereupon (i) no Lender Party shall be under any obligation to make or convert any Prime Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans and (ii) on the last day of the current Interest Period for each LIBOR Loan (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant Applicable Law), such LIBOR Loan, unless then repaid in full, automatically shall convert to a Prime Rate Loan.

(e) Without limiting any other provision of the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall indemnify and reimburse each Lender Party on demand for any and all reasonable and documented costs, expenses and losses which such Lender Party may sustain, including, without limitation, any expense resulting from their contractual obligations in connection with applicable Dollar deposits, as a consequence of (i) any withdrawal by Borrowers of any LIBOR Election Notice, (ii) any failure by Borrowers to borrow, continue, or convert the amount set forth in any LIBOR Election Notice on the date specified therefor, (iii) any failure of Borrowers to make any payment when due of any amount payable with respect to any LIBOR Loan, and (iv) any prepayment of any LIBOR Loan prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(f) Each Lender Party may fulfill its commitment as to any LIBOR Loan by causing an Affiliate of such Lender Party to make such Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender Party and the obligation of Borrowers to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender Party and shall be deemed held by it. Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents, each Lender Party shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that all determinations under the Loan Documents shall be made as if such Lender Party actually had funded and maintained each LIBOR Loan during each Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period. All determinations and statements of any Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be prima facie evidence of such determinations and statements. Each Lender Party may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under this Section 2.7, and the provisions of Sections 2.7(c) and (e) shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the amounts payable under Sections 2.7(c) and (e) shall not be duplicative of one another.

2.8

Voluntary Prepayments

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 2.8 and Section 3.3, Borrowers may prepay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the applicable Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans, in whole or in part, at any time in an amount not less than $500,000 or, if in excess thereof, in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or if less, the entirety of such Loan. A Responsible Officer on behalf of Borrowers shall give irrevocable written notice of any such prepayment to Agent not less than five Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, specifying (i) the date and the amount of such prepayment, (ii) the amount of the Prepayment Fee, if any, and (iii) that such payment is being made in compliance with this Section 2.8. Payments of the amounts set forth in the notice of prepayment shall be due and payable on the prepayment date set forth in such notice.

(b) No LIBOR Loan may be prepaid in part. Concurrently with any prepayment of any LIBOR Loan prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrowers shall pay all breakage fees and any other amounts due under Section 2.7(e) as a consequence of such prepayment.

(c) Subject to Section 9.2 hereof, any voluntary partial prepayment with respect to the Revolving Loan shall be applied in the following order of priority to the payment of: (i) any and all Obligations that are due and owing under the Loan Documents, except the principal balance of the Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon; (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Revolving Loans then due and owing; and (iii) the principal balance of the Revolving Loan. Subject to Section 9.2 hereof, any voluntary partial prepayment with respect to the Term Loans shall be applied in the following order of priority to the payment of: (i) any and all Obligations that are due and owing under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, the applicable Prepayment Fee, except the principal balance of the Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon; (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Term Loans then due and owing (in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion); and (iii) the principal balance of the Term Loans (applied to the tranches as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, provided that Agent shall not apply to the principal balance of the Term B Loan more than the aggregate amount available for application under this clause (iii) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Term B Loan and the denominator of which is then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans), which shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled installments thereof until paid in full.

2.9

Mandatory Payments and Prepayments

(a) The principal amount of the Loans shall be paid as follows:

(i) The principal amount of the Term A Loan shall be paid in installments on the dates and in the respective amounts set forth below:


Payment Date	Amount of Principal Payment
July 1, 2008	$	350,000
October 1, 2008	$	350,000
January 1, 2009	$	350,000
April 1, 2009	$	350,000
July 1, 2009	$	525,000
October 1, 2009	$	525,000


January 1, 2010	$	525,000
April 1, 2010	$	525,000
July 1, 2010	$	700,000
October 1, 2010	$	700,000
January 1, 2011	$	700,000
April 1, 2011	$	700,000
July 1, 2011	$	1,925,000
October 1, 2011	$	1,925,000
January 1, 2012	$	1,925,000

(ii) The remaining unpaid principal amount of the Loans and all other Obligations shall be due and payable in full, if not earlier in accordance with this Agreement, on the Maturity Date.

(b) If a Change of Control occurs, all Obligations immediately shall be due and payable in full without the necessity of any notice or demand.

(c) If any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions:

(i) sells or transfers any Property in any transaction permitted under Section 7.7 (other than under Section 7.7(a) or Section 7.7(c));

(ii) sells or issues any Capital Stock (excluding any sale or issuance of Permitted Securities to the extent that no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom);

(iii) receives any condemnation award or insurance proceeds of any kind;

(iv) incurs any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness;

(v) sells or transfers any Property in any transaction not permitted under this Agreement; or

(vi) receives the proceeds of any purchase price adjustment or indemnification payment with respect to any Acquisition;

then such Credit Party or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof, provided, however, if such Credit Party or Subsidiary reasonably expects the Net Proceeds of any such sale or transfer in respect of the foregoing clause (i) or any property damage insurance award under the foregoing clause (iii), or a portion thereof, to be reinvested in productive assets of a kind then used or usable in the Business and not otherwise prohibited by the Loan Documents, it shall deliver to Agent a certificate setting forth the amount of such Net Proceeds that Borrowers reasonably expect to be reinvested (the “Reinvestment Amount”) and shall deliver to Agent the Reinvestment Amount to be, at Agent’s election, (x) applied to the Revolving Loans (without resulting in a permanent reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitment) or (y) held by Agent in a Cash Collateral Account pending such reinvestment; provided further, that so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Agent shall hold such Net Proceeds in a Cash Collateral Account for such period of time that the application of such Net Proceeds to the outstanding Revolving Loans would not result in the prepayment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the expiration of the Interest Period with respect thereto resulting in the incurrence by Borrowers of prepayment fees and expenses under Section 2.7(f) hereof. If such reinvestment is not made within 270 days after the Reinvestment Amount is delivered to Agent, Borrowers thereupon shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% the portion of the Reinvestment Amount not used to make such reinvestment.

(d) Concurrently with the delivery to Agent of the Credit Parties’ annual audited financial statements for each fiscal year in accordance with this Agreement (but in any event no later than five days after such audited financial statements are required to be delivered hereunder), commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Excess Cash Flow for the period from the Closing Date to December 31, 2007 with respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 and fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Cash Flow for any other fiscal year minus (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments of the principal amount of the Term Loan(s) made by the Credit Parties during such fiscal year. If such financial statements have not been timely delivered, the Excess Cash Flow prepayment due hereunder shall equal Agent’s estimate thereof based on financial information then available to Agent. If, upon satisfactory delivery of the Excess Cash Flow calculation, the actual payment due exceeds the estimated payment received by Agent, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the difference between the actual and estimated payments, but Agent shall in no event be obligated to refund any excess between the estimated and actual payment due.

(e) Any balance of Advances under the Revolving Facility outstanding at any time in excess of the Revolving Loan Limit immediately shall be due and payable without the necessity of any notice or demand. All prepayments pursuant this Section 2.9(e) shall be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans.

(f) Subject to Section 9.2 hereof and 2.9(e), all prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be applied in the following order of priority to the payment of: (i) all then unpaid fees and expenses of Agent under the Loan Documents; (ii) all then unpaid fees and expenses of Lenders under the Loan Documents, including the Prepayment Fee, if any, applicable to such prepayment; (iii) any and all other Obligations that are due and owing under the Loan Documents, except the principal balance of the Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon; (iv) accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Revolving Loans then due and owing; (v) accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans (in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion); (vi) the principal balance of the Term Loans (applied to the tranches as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, provided that Agent shall not apply to the principal balance of the Term B Loan more than the aggregate amount available for application under this clause (vi) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Term B Loan and the denominator of which is then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans), which shall be applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled installments thereof until paid in full; and (vii) the principal amount of Revolving Loans (with a corresponding permanent reduction in the Facility Cap).

2.10

Promise to Pay; Manner of Payment

Each Credit Party absolutely and unconditionally, jointly and severally promises to pay, when due and payable pursuant hereto, principal, interest and all other amounts and Obligations payable by it under any Loan Document, in each case, without any right of rescission or defense and without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, notwithstanding any damage to, defects in or destruction of the Collateral or any other event, including obsolescence of any property or improvements. Any payments made by the Credit Parties (other than payments automatically paid through Advances) shall be made by wire transfer on the date when due, without offset, deduction or counterclaim, in Dollars, in immediately available funds to such account as may be indicated in writing by Agent to Borrowers. Any payment received after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any date shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day, and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue in respect thereof. Whenever any payment under any Loan Document is due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, it shall be due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time in such case shall be included in the computation of payment of any interest (at the interest rate in effect during such extension) and/or fees, as the case may be.

2.11

Payments by Agent

If any Obligation remains unpaid beyond any applicable cure period, such Obligation may be paid by Agent, on behalf of Lenders, which non-payment shall be deemed an automatic request for an Advance as of the date such payment was due, and Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize disbursement of any such funds to Agent, for the benefit of Lender Parties, by way of direct payment of the relevant amount, without necessity of any demand. Any sums expended or amounts paid by Lender Parties as a result of any Credit Party’s failure to comply with any Loan Document or any of the Obligations may be charged to Borrowers’ account as an Advance and added to the Obligations.

2.12

Computation of Interest and Fees; Lawful Limits

All interest and fees owing from time to time under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed in each calculation period, as applicable. Under no circumstances shall the interest and other charges paid or agreed to be paid under any Loan Document exceed the maximum rate permissible under Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final non-appealable determination, deem applicable thereto, and if any such amount shall exceed any such limit, then the obligation to be so fulfilled shall be reduced to such lawful limit. If any Lender Party shall have received interest or any other charges of any kind which might be deemed to be interest under Applicable Law in excess of the maximum lawful rate, then such excess shall be applied first to any unpaid fees and other charges under the Loan Documents as determined by Agent, then to the unpaid principal balance owed hereunder as determined by Agent, and any excess shall be promptly refunded to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. The terms and provisions of this Section 2.12 shall control to the extent any other provision of any Loan Document is inconsistent herewith.

2.13

Cash Management Systems

(a) No Credit Party shall establish or maintain any deposit, brokerage or other account with any financial institution (except for deposit accounts solely dedicated to the payment of payroll expenses provided that the aggregate amount on deposit in all such deposit accounts does not exceed the aggregate payroll obligations of the Credit Parties for the current pay period) unless, prior to the Closing Date or opening such account, Agent, the applicable Credit Party and such financial institution shall have entered into an Account Control Agreement with respect to such account. Each Credit Party shall ensure that all collections of accounts and all other payments received by such Credit Party are remitted directly to a deposit account subject to an Account Control Agreement.

(b) Upon the request of Agent from time to time if an Event of Default exists, each Credit Party shall establish lockbox or blocked accounts (collectively, “Blocked Accounts”) in such Credit Party’s name with such banks as are reasonably acceptable to Agent (“Depository Banks”), each subject to an Account Control Agreement between Agent the applicable Credit Party the applicable Collecting Bank (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”). Each Credit Party (i) promptly thereafter shall direct all of its account debtors to remit all payments directly to a Blocked Account, (ii) promptly (and in any event within two Business Days of receipt) deposit in a Blocked Account, in the identical form in which such payment was made, all cash, money, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to and/or constituting proceeds of accounts or other Collateral which come into the possession or under the control of such Credit Party and (iii) until deposited in a Blocked Account, hold such items in trust for Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties.

(c) Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, may establish one or more deposit accounts at each Depository Bank or at a centrally located bank in the name of Agent or such Credit Party as customer (collectively, the “Concentration Accounts”). If Agent so directs all collected funds on deposit in the Blocked Accounts shall be transferred by the Depository Banks on each Business Day to Agent or any of the Concentration Accounts. All funds received in the Concentration Account pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be applied by Agent on each Business Day to reduce the Obligations under the Revolving Facility in such order and manner as Agent shall determine. If a credit balance exists with respect to the Concentration Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of any Credit Party, but unless a Default or Event of Default exists, shall be available to Borrowers upon written request in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) If at any time while a Depository Bank is obligated to transfer to Agent or any Concentration Account all amounts held or deposited in the Blocked Accounts held by such Depository Bank, no Credit Party shall nor shall any such Credit Party permit any Subsidiary to, accumulate or maintain cash in any disbursement or payroll account, as of any date, in an amount in excess of checks outstanding against such account as of such date and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements.

2.14

Reliance

Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely upon the authority of any Responsible Officer of Borrowers for communications with and instructions from Borrowers, until Agent has received written notice from Borrowers that such Responsible Officer no longer has such authority.

Agent may distribute all or any portion of the Letter of Credit Fees the L/C Issuer or any Underlying Issuer and any remainder for the ratable benefit of Revolving Lenders. Borrowers also shall pay to Agent on demand the normal and customary administrative charges for the issuance, amendment, negotiation, renewal, extension and maintenance, and any other charges and fees, related to any Standby Letter of Credit or Documentary Letter of Credit incurred or imposed by Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Underlying Issuer.

(d) Agent shall have the right to (i) apply for and have a receiver appointed in order to enforce any Lender Party’s rights and remedies relating to or arising out of the Credit Parties’ Businesses, Collateral, Obligations or Loan Documents, including without limitation, the maintenance, operation, preservation and disposition thereof, (ii) continue operation of the Businesses of the Credit Parties and/or (iii) collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership including the compensation of the receiver and to the payments as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall be finally consummated; and

(e) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the request of Agent and at the Credit Parties’ sole cost and expense, each Credit Party shall (i) assist Agent in obtaining any required approval of the FCC, any State Regulatory Agency or any other Governmental Authority for any action or transaction contemplated hereby, including preparing, signing and filing with the FCC, any State Regulatory Agency and/or any other Governmental Authority the assignor’s or transferor’s portion of any application or applications for consent to the assignment of license or transfer of control over any of any Credit Party’s Telecom Licenses necessary or appropriate under applicable Communications Laws or the rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority for approval of any sale, assignment or transfer to Agent or any other Person of any or all Collateral and the Telecommunication Licenses of any Credit Party and (ii) execute all applications and other documents and take all other actions reasonably requested by Agent to enable Agent, its designee, any receiver, trustee or similar official or any purchaser of all or any part of the Collateral to obtain from the FCC, any State Regulatory Agency or any other Person any required authority necessary to operate the Telecommunications Business of the Credit Parties.

In dealing with or disposing of all or any part of the Collateral, Lender Parties shall not be required to give priority or preference to any item of Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Collateral with judicial process. Furthermore, each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof hereby agrees not to resist or interfere with any action taken by any Lender Party in accordance with Articles 8 and 9 hereof, and to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof hereby irrevocably consents to, and waives any right to object to or otherwise contest the appointment of a receiver as provided above. Each Credit Party acknowledges that FCC and State Regulatory Agency authorization is integral to Agent’s realization of the value of all of the Collateral, that the Telecom Licenses of the Credit Parties are unique assets, that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by the Credit Parties to comply with the provisions of Section 9.1(e) and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in monetary damages; therefore, each Credit Party agrees that, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, Agent shall be entitled to obtain decree(s) of specific performance entitling it to temporary restraining order(s), preliminary injunction(s), or permanent injunction(s) to enforce specifically and require specific performance of the provisions of Section 9.1(e). Each Credit Party agrees that notice shall be adequate for the entry of a decree of specific performance with respect to any such matter (i) in the case of a temporary restraining order, upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice of the hearing thereof and (ii) in the case of any other proceeding, upon three (3) days’ prior notice of the hearing thereof, and hereby waives all requirements and demands that Agent give any greater notice of such hearings or post a bond or other surety arrangement in connection with the issuance of such decree.

9.2

Application of Proceeds

Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, if an Event of Default exists, all payments, proceeds and amounts received by any Lender Party with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral, or any exercise of rights or remedies hereunder shall be applied to the Obligations in such order and manner as Agent may determine in its sole discretion. The Credit Parties shall be liable for any deficiency if such proceeds are insufficient to satisfy all of the Obligations.

9.3

Attorney in Fact

Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents and without limiting any of the other rights and/or remedies of any Lender Party, if an Event of Default exists, each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent), with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full irrevocable power, right and authority in its place and stead, in its own name and on its own behalf (and without notice to or assent by such Person), from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents or instruments which may be necessary or advisable (a) to accomplish the purposes of the Loan Documents, (b) to protect and realize upon the Liens in the Collateral, or (c) in connection with any Credit Party’s (or any Subsidiary’s) Business, Collateral, Obligations or Loan Documents, including without limitation, the maintenance, operation, preservation and disposition of any of the foregoing. The foregoing appointment shall create in Agent a power coupled with an interest.

9.4

Rights and Remedies not Exclusive

Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights and/or remedies Lender Party may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, without in any way modifying or affecting any of Lender Party’s rights or remedies under any Loan Document, any Applicable Law or in equity. The enumeration or partial or complete exercise of any rights and remedies are not exhaustive or exclusive, and shall not preclude any other further exercise of such (or any other) right or remedy.

9.5

Changes in Law or Policy

Each Credit Party, Agent and each Lender acknowledge their intent that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall receive, to the fullest extent permitted by law and governmental policy (including, without limitation, the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC and State Regulatory Agencies), all rights necessary or desirable to obtain, use or sell the Collateral and the Telecom Licenses of Borrowers, or to transfer control over the Telecom Licenses of Borrowers, and to exercise all remedies available to Agent under the Loan Documents, the UCC or other applicable law. Each Credit Party, Agent and each Lender further acknowledge and agree that, in the event of changes in law or governmental policy occurring subsequent to the date hereof that affect in any manner Agent’s rights of access to, or use or sale of, the Collateral or the Telecom Licenses of Borrowers, or of Agent’s rights to transfer control over the Telecom Licenses of Borrowers, or the procedures necessary to enable Agent to obtain such rights of access, use, sale or transfer of control, Agent, Lenders and each Credit Party shall execute an amendment to the Loan Documents, in such manner as Agent reasonably shall request, in order to provide Agent such rights to the greatest extent possible consistent with then applicable law and governmental policy.

9.6

Regulatory Matters

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, Agent and Lenders will not take any action pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents that would constitute or result in any assignment or transfer of control, whether de jure or de facto, of any Telecom License if such assignment or transfer of control would require under then existing law (including applicable Communications Laws) the prior approval of the FCC or applicable State Regulatory Agencies without first obtaining such approval. Each Lender and Agent specifically acknowledge that (i) voting rights in the equity securities or other ownership interests of each Credit Party will remain with the holders of such voting rights upon and following the occurrence of an Event of Default unless and until any required prior approvals of the FCC or applicable State Regulatory Agencies to the transfer of such voting rights shall have been obtained and (ii) prior to the exercise of voting rights by the purchaser of such equity securities or other ownership interests at a public or private sale, all prior consents of the FCC and applicable State Regulatory Agencies required by applicable law shall have been obtained.

X	WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS

Each waiver or consent under any Loan Document shall be limited solely to the express terms and conditions of such waiver or consent. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, no Lender Party waives any violation under any Loan Document by virtue of completing the Closing or funding any Loan. Unless expressly provided otherwise, any matter subject to any Lender Party’s discretion under any Loan Document shall be at such Lender Party’s sole and absolute discretion.

(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY (i) EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND (ii) AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

XI	AGENT PROVISIONS; SETTLEMENT

11.1

Agent

(a) Appointment. Each Lender hereby appoints CapitalSource as the sole and exclusive administrative, payment and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes CapitalSource, as agent for such Lender, to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such other powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the conditions contained in this Article XI. The provisions of this Article XI are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and the Credit Parties shall have no rights as third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions of this Article XI other than Section 11.1(g). Agent may exercise any of its powers, rights or remedies or perform any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through its respective Affiliates, and its or their respective officers, directors, managers, equity owners, employees, advisors, attorneys, agents, representatives, and the successors, assigns and Affiliates of each of the foregoing (for purposes of this Article XI, all of the foregoing are “Representatives”).

(b) Nature of Duties. Agent, in performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, (i) is acting solely on behalf of Lenders, (ii) has duties which are administrative in nature, and (iii) does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation toward or agency, trust or other fiduciary relationship with or for any Lender (other than as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents) or any Credit Party. Agent shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation and appraisal of the financial condition, collateral, creditworthiness and affairs of the Credit Parties in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder. No Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any underwriting summary report or other statistical analysis or information prepared by or at the direction of Agent which is furnished by Agent to any Lender. Except for information, notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any notices, documents or reports or any credit or other information with respect to any Credit Party, the Collateral, the Loan Documents or any matter relating thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time thereafter. Except as expressly provided in this Article XI, Agent has no duty (fiduciary or otherwise) or liability whatsoever to any Lender in any respect. Agent shall not be deemed to have any knowledge of the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default unless and until Agent is notified in writing of any of the foregoing by the Credit Parties.

(c) Rights, Exculpation, Etc. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account; provided, however, that neither Agent, its Affiliates, nor any of its or their Representatives shall be liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or omitted by them under the Loan Documents, or in connection therewith; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not prevent Agent from being liable to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and nonappealable basis. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or Distribution of payments made by it in good faith, and if any such apportionment or Distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom such payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the other Lenders any such payment due to it (and such other Lenders hereby agree promptly to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for, or required to make any inquiry concerning, any recitals, statements, representations or warranties (written or oral) made by the Credit Parties in any Loan Document, the execution, effectiveness, performance, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby, the existence of any Default or Event of Default, or the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Credit Parties or any of the Collateral. Agent may at any time request instructions from one or more Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of any Loan Document, Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any Loan Document until it shall have received such instructions from such Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any claim or right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other proportion as applicable) and, notwithstanding such instructions, Agent shall have no obligation to take any action or refrain from taking any action if it, in good faith, believes that such action or non-action may expose Agent or any of its Affiliates or its or their Representatives to any liability unless Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion.

(d) Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication in any form

believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been sent or made by the proper Person, and (ii) the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion.

(e) Indemnification. Each Lender, severally (and not jointly, nor jointly and severally) agrees to reimburse and indemnify and hold harmless Agent and its Affiliates and its and their Representatives (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties, as applicable) and to pay such amounts upon demand by Agent, ratably according to such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated, ratably in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share immediately prior to the date the Loans were repaid in full), from and against any and all Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent, its Affiliates, or any of its or their respective Representatives in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent under any Loan Document except to the extent resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and non-appealable basis. The obligations of Lenders under this Article XI shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(f) CapitalSource Individually. With respect to the Loans made by it, CapitalSource shall have, and may exercise, the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents, and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities, as and to the extent set forth in the Loan Documents, as any other Lender. The terms “Lenders” or “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall include CapitalSource in its individual capacity as a Lender. CapitalSource may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of lending or other business with, any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto.

(g) Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent. Agent may resign from the performance of all or part of its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to Borrowers and Lenders (the “Resignation Notice”). Such resignation shall take effect upon the earlier of (i) the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 30th calendar day following Receipt by Borrowers and Lenders of the Resignation Notice. Absent a voluntary resignation, Agent may not be removed or terminated as Agent. Upon receipt of any Resignation Notice, Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent with the consent of Borrowers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (or required if any Default or Event of Default exists). If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed by the 30th calendar day following receipt of the Resignation Notice, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent with the consent of Borrowers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (or required if any Default or Event of Default exists), who shall serve as Agent until such time as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing within said 30 calendar day period, Requisite Lenders thereafter shall perform all the duties of Agent hereunder, until such time, if any, as Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Upon the appointment of a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and, upon the effective date of the retiring Agent’s resignation, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, provided that any indemnity rights or other rights in favor of such retiring Agent shall continue after and survive such resignation and succession. The provisions of this Article XI shall inure to the benefit of any Agent with respect to actions taken or not taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.

(h) Administrative and Collateral Matters.

(i) Collateral. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents relating to the Collateral, and the exercise by Agent of the powers set forth therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lender Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (A) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents and the Collateral; (B) execute and deliver, and accept delivery of, each Loan Document and all other materials and communications by and with the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries; (C) act as collateral agent for Lenders for purposes of the perfection, priority, management, supervision and all other actions in relation to the Collateral and the Liens created thereon by the Loan Documents and (D) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms of any Loan Document, exercise all rights and remedies given to any Lender Party with respect to any Credit Party and/or the Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. Each Lender appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact, granting Agent powers to execute each Security Document and any registrations of the security interest thereby created, in each case in such Lender’s name and on its behalf, with the effect that each Lender becomes a secured party thereunder, and Agent has the power to sub-delegate to third parties all of the foregoing powers.

(ii) Release of the Collateral. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, in its sole discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, upon any Collateral (A) upon termination of this Agreement and indefeasible payment in cash and satisfaction in full of all Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations); (B) which is sold or disposed of (x) in compliance with the Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on a certification of Borrowers to such effect, without further inquiry) or (y) while an Event of Default exists, in connection with the exercise of remedies under any Loan Document; or (C) which does not constitute a material portion of the Collateral.

(iii) Absence of Duty. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Person with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, to assure that it exists, is owned by any Credit Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has or has not been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent, on behalf of the Lender Parties, have or have not been properly, sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, enforced or maintained or are entitled to any particular priority. Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion with respect to the Collateral.

(i) Agency for Perfection. In accordance with the appointment of Agent hereunder, Agent shall be each Lender’s agent for the purpose of perfecting all security interests in any Collateral under Article 9 of the UCC or otherwise. Should any Lender (other than Agent) be perfected in any Collateral other than through Agent (whether by possession or otherwise), such Lender shall hold such Collateral and be perfected therein for the benefit of the other Lender Parties, notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise act in respect thereof in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

(j) Exercise of Remedies. Except as set forth in Section 11.3, each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or to seek to enforce any Loan Document or to exercise any right or remedy thereunder or otherwise against any Credit Party or any Collateral. All such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

(k) Consents; Defaulting Lenders. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents will be deemed to relieve a Lender of its obligation to fulfill its commitments or to prejudice any rights Agent or any Credit Party may have against such Lender as a result of any default by such Lender in the

performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Without limiting any provision of any Loan Document, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to vote or consent as a Lender under the Loan Documents, and Agent will be entitled, in addition to all other rights available under the Loan Documents, to recover any amounts owed by any Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents on demand from such Defaulting Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal Funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on that day by each of the three leading brokers of Federal Funds transactions in New York City selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within 3 days of Agent’s demand, at the highest rate applicable to the Loans. If Agent requests in writing the consent of a Lender and does not receive a written denial thereof within 5 Business Days after such Lender’s Receipt of such request, then such Lender will be deemed to have so consented. If (i) Agent requests the consent of a Lender in a situation where such Lender’s consent is required and such consent is not given or is denied within the time prescribed in such request, (ii) a Lender is deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, or (iii) a Lender requests compensation under Article XIII, then, within 45 Business Days of any such occurrence or event, Agent may, at its option, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies Agent may have against such Lender, (A) require such Lender to sell and assign its Loans and Commitments and rights under the Loan Documents, without recourse to or warranty by such Lender (other than as to title and absence of adverse claims) or Agent (and without expense to Agent), to Agent or its designee for a purchase price equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender, plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under the Loan Documents (in all cases except for the Prepayment Fee, less, if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, any amounts owed by such Lender under the Loan Documents, and less an amount equal to the commitment fee paid to such Lender multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the days remaining until the scheduled Maturity Date and the denominator of which shall be the total number of days from the Closing Date until the scheduled Maturity Date, and (B) assume all the Commitments and obligations of such Lender under the Loan Documents. If Agent requires any assignment and sale pursuant to this section, Agent will so notify the applicable Lender in writing and such Lender will consummate such assignment and sale no later than 5 Business Days following receipt of such notice upon payment of the purchase price as provided herein. Upon consummation of such sale and assignment, such assigning Lender shall no longer be a party to any of the Loan Documents or have any rights under any of the Loan Documents (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such assigning Lender prior to the date of such assignment and sale).

(l) Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on any Credit Party) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and any other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of any Lender Party (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and Advances of any Lender Party and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to any Lender Party under any Loan Document) allowed in such judicial proceeding, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and Advances Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under any Loan Document.

11.2

Co-Agents and Other Designations

Agent may, in its sole discretion, from time to time designate a Lender as a “Co-Agent”, “Syndication Agent”, “Documentation Agent” or other designation and may enter into an agreement with such Lender to have it so identified for purposes of this Agreement and each such designation shall be effective upon written notice thereof by Agent to Borrowers. Any Lender that is so designated (i) shall have no rights, powers, obligations, liabilities, responsibilities or duties under any Loan Document as such other than those otherwise applicable to all Lenders, and (ii) shall not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender.

11.3

Set-off and Sharing of Payments

All payments by any Lender to Agent will be made without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind except as permitted under this Section 11.3. If any Event of Default exists, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Credit Parties from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without notice to any Credit Party (such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off, appropriate and apply any (i) balances of any kind (including general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) held by such Lender for the account of any Credit Party regardless of whether such balances are then due to any Credit Party, and (ii) other Property held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of any Credit Party, against and on account of any of the Obligations which are not paid when due; provided, that no Lender shall exercise any of the foregoing rights without the prior written consent of Agent. To the extent any Lender receives or has amounts or Property in excess of its Pro Rata Share whether by set off or otherwise, such Lender shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) participations in each such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

11.4

Disbursement of Advances and Term B Advances

Agent may, on behalf of Revolving Lenders or the Term B Lenders, as applicable, disburse funds to Borrowers for Advances or Term B Advances. Each Revolving Lender and Term B Lender shall promptly remit to Agent its Pro Rata Share of all funds disbursed on its behalf by Agent either before or after such disbursement as requested by Agent in its Permitted Discretion. If Agent requires funds from a Revolving Lender or Term B Lender prior to disbursement to Borrowers, Agent shall advise each such Lender by written notice in accordance with this Agreement of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such requested disbursement no later than one Business Day prior to the funding date thereof, and each such Lender shall pay Agent its Pro Rata Share of such requested disbursement, in same day funds, by wire transfer to Agent’s account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time). If Agent shall have already disbursed funds to Borrowers, each Lender shall pay its Pro Rata Share thereof to Agent within one Business Day of Agent’s request therefor. If Agent shall have disbursed funds to Borrowers and any Lender fails to pay its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with this Agreement within one Business Day of Agent’s request therefor, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers and Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to Agent without premium or penalty. Nothing in any Loan Document, shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments under the Loan Documents or to prejudice any rights that Agent may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender under the Loan Documents.

11.5

Settlements; Payments; and Information

(a) Advances; Payments; Interest and Fee Payments. The amount of outstanding Loans may fluctuate from day to day through Agent’s disbursement of funds to, and receipt of funds from, Borrowers. In order to minimize the frequency of transfers of funds between Agent and each Lender, repayments of Loans may, at the election of Agent, be settled according to this Section 11.5.

(i) Payments of principal on the Term Loans will be settled, in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, on the first Business Day after such payments are received.

(ii) Once each week, or more frequently (including daily), if Agent so elects (each such day being a “Settlement Date”), Agent will advise each Revolving Lender by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day by written notice in accordance with this Agreement of the amount of each such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Advances. If payments are necessary to adjust the amount of such Revolving Lender’s share of the Advances to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances, the party from which such payment is due will pay the other party, in same day funds, by wire transfer to the other’s account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Settlement Date.

(iii) On the first Business Day of each quarter, or, with respect to LIBOR Loans, on the Business Day on which payments of accrued interest are due thereon (each, an “Interest Settlement Date”), Agent will advise each Lender by written notice in accordance with this Agreement of the amount of interest and fees charged to and collected from Borrowers for the preceding quarter or applicable Interest Period (or portion thereof in the case of Interest Periods longer than 90 days) in respect of the applicable Loans. Provided that such Lender is not then a Defaulting Lender, Agent will pay to such Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender’s account (as specified by such Lender in accordance with this Agreement) such Lender’s share of such interest and fees not later than the next Business Day following the Interest Settlement Date.

(b) Availability of Lenders’ Pro Rata Share. Unless Agent has been notified in writing by a Revolving Lender or Term B Lender prior to any proposed funding date of such Lender’s intention not to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance or Term B Advance in accordance with this Agreement due to any existing Event of Default, Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender or Term B Lender will make such amount available to Agent in accordance with Section 11.4; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement shall obligate a Revolving Lender to make an Advance or a Term B Lender to make a Term B Advance at any time any Event of Default exists other than an Advance made under Section 11.4 or 11.7.

(c) Return of Payments. If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from any Credit Party and such related payment is not received by Agent, or if Agent overpays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement or otherwise in error, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If Agent determines at any time that any amount received by Agent under the Loan Documents must be returned to any Credit Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of any Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender and each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrowers or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

11.6

Dissemination of Information

Upon request by a Lender, Agent will use reasonable efforts to distribute promptly to such Lender, unless previously provided by any Credit Party to such Lender, copies of all notices, schedules, reports, projections, financial statements, agreements and other material and information, including, without limitation, financial and reporting information received by Agent from the Credit Parties, as provided for in any Loan Document (in all cases excluding all internal information generated by CapitalSource and/or its Affiliates and/or its or their respective agents and Representatives). Agent shall not be liable to any of the Lenders for any failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 11.6, except to the extent that such failure is attributed to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and results in demonstrable damages to such Lender as determined, in each case, by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and non-appealable basis. Each Lender expressly agrees and acknowledges that (i) none of Agent, its Affiliates or its or their Representatives makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any materials or information or shall be liable for or with respect thereto, and (ii) any Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Credit Parties and will rely upon the Credit Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Credit Parties’ personnel. Each Lender agrees (A) to keep all materials and information confidential (at least to the standards as required by this Agreement) and strictly for its internal use, and not to distribute (except to its Participants, so long as such Participants are bound by these provisions and such Lender shall be responsible for any breach hereof by any such Participant), or use any of the foregoing in any other manner, and (B) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in the Loan Documents, (1) to hold Agent, its Affiliates and any such other Person delivering or preparing such material and/or information harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or any conclusions the indemnifying Lender may reach from any such material or information in connection with any Loans that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, Loans of Borrowers, (2) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold Agent, its Affiliates and such Person delivering or preparing such material and/or information harmless from and against, all Claims incurred by such Person as the direct or indirect result of any violation hereof.

11.7

Special Agent Advances

Agent may in its sole discretion at any time that an Event of Default exists or upon any failure of a condition precedent to any of the Loans, make such disbursements and advances (“Special Agent Advances”) which Agent, in its sole discretion, (i) deems necessary or desirable either to preserve or protect any portion of the Collateral, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of or maximize the amount of repayment by Credit Parties of the Obligations, and/or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to any Credit Party pursuant to the terms of any Loan Documents, including without limitation, costs, fees and expenses. Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents, Special Agent Advances shall be deemed an Advance under this Agreement but shall be repayable on demand and together with all interest thereon and shall be payable prior to the payment of interest and principal of all other Loans. Each Lender agrees that it shall make available to Agent, upon Agent’s demand in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Special Agent Advance.

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue

The Loan Documents, pursuant to New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to its choice of law provisions that would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.

exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any Judgment rendered thereby, (ii) waives personal service of process, (iii) agrees that service of process upon it may be made pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof or in any manner permitted by Applicable Law, and (iv) waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction, venue, convenience or forum nonconveniens. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that any proceedings against any Lender Party involving, directly or indirectly, the Obligations, the Collateral or any Loan Document, or any transaction contemplated or permitted thereby, shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in New York County located in the State of New York.

12.2

Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations

(a) Subject to Section 12.2(b) hereof, each Lender Party may assign all or any portion of its rights and delegate all or any portion of its obligations under any Loan Document to one or more Eligible Assignees in accordance with the terms hereof (each, a “Transferee”) with the prior written consent of Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrowers (which consent of Borrowers shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided that at any time that an Event of Default exists, such assignments shall not be restricted to Eligible Assignees. Each Lender Party may furnish any information concerning the Credit Parties in the possession of that Lender Party from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to the confidentiality provisions hereunder.

(b) (i) Any Transfer hereunder shall be effective only upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) execution and delivery by the Transferee, the assigning Lender and Agent of an original Lender Addition Agreement and any documents required thereunder, (B) Agent shall have accepted such Lender Addition Agreement and recorded in the Register the names and addresses, Commitment, principal amount of the Loans owing, and Notes, if any, evidencing such transfer, and (C) receipt by Agent from such Transferee of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500. The parties hereto hereby agree that upon the effectiveness of each such Transfer, the Transferee shall become a Lender Party hereunder and the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder in accordance with such Lender Addition Agreement. Within a reasonable amount of time after the effectiveness of any Transfer, the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding applicable Notes held by it, and Borrowers, at their own expense, shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereof) execute and deliver to Agent, new Notes to reflect the interest held by the assigning Lender and its Transferee. Agent shall maintain a copy of each Lender Addition Agreement delivered to it and the Register, which shall be available for inspection by any party hereto at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent. (ii) Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents, (X) no CapitalSource Entity shall be required to comply with Section 12.2(b)(i) in connection with any transaction involving any other CapitalSource Entity or any of its or their lenders or funding or financing sources, and none of the foregoing shall be considered a Transferee, and (Y) there shall be no limitation or restriction on (I) the ability of any CapitalSource Entity to assign or otherwise transfer any Loan Document, Commitment or Obligation to any other CapitalSource Entity or any lender or financing or funding source or (II) any such lender’s or funding or financing source’s ability to assign or otherwise transfer any Loan Document, Commitment or Obligation; provided, however, that CapitalSource shall continue to be liable as a “Lender” under the Loan Documents unless such other Person complies with the provisions of Section 12.2(b)(i) and thereby becomes a “Lender.”

(c) Each Lender Party may sell participations in all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”). Upon any such sale, (i) such Lender’s obligations under each Loan Document shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan and all parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan

Documents. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender shall sell any such participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise such Lender’s rights and enforce each Credit Party’s obligations hereunder, including the right to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document. The Credit Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Participant under each participation shall, solely for the purposes of Sections 10.3, 11.3, 12.4 and 12.7 hereof, be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in any Loan Document, any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in any portion of its rights under any Loan Document. Each Credit Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist any Lender Party in making assignments or selling participations in any part of any Loan.

(e) The Loan Documents shall (i) inure to the benefit of each Lender Party, Transferee, Participant (only to the extent expressly provided herein) and all future holders of the Loans, Obligations and/or any Collateral, and each of their respective permitted successors and assigns, and (ii) be binding upon all the Credit Parties. No Credit Party may sell, assign or transfer any of its interests or Obligations under any Loan Document. No rights are intended to be created under any Loan Document for the benefit of any third party donee, creditor or incidental beneficiary of any Credit Party. Nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as a delegation to any Lender Party of any other Person’s duty of performance.

12.3

Reinstatement; Application of Payments; Releases

To the extent that any payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently set aside, defeased or required to be repaid to any Person for any reason, then such Obligations (and the Liens corresponding thereto) shall be automatically revived as if such payment had not been received. Anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, only upon (i) payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Obligations (other than Unasserted Obligations), (ii) termination of the Commitments, (iii) delivery of a mutual written release by the Credit Parties of all Claims against all Lender Parties and by Agent, on behalf of the Lender Parties, of all Claims against all Credit Parties, in a form satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion and (iv) so long as no suits, actions, proceedings or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person, shall Agent be required to deliver to Borrowers the termination statements, Mortgage releases and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing the Obligations.

12.4

The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, hereby indemnify, hold harmless and defend, each Lender Party and its respective Affiliates, and the managers, members, employees, equity owners, agents, representatives, accountants, attorneys, and holders of equity interests, and the successors, assigns and Affiliates of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Claims, relating to or arising out of any Loan Document, any Related Document or any agreement, arrangement, instrument, matter or transaction contemplated thereby or any act or omission relating thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto except to the extent resulting from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and non-appealable basis. Indemnification obligations hereunder include (a) in-house counsels’ reasonable charges in accordance with their standard rate structures (but without duplication of work performed by outside counsel), and (b) all claims for brokerage fees or commissions (other than claims of a broker with whom such Indemnified Party has directly contracted in writing). Agent may elect (but is not obligated) to direct the defense of any Claim. Any Indemnified Person may take any action it deems necessary and appropriate (including the retention of counsel) to investigate, defend or settle any Claim, or take any other remedial or corrective action with respect thereto.

The Loan Documents may be executed in one or more counterparts and by facsimile transmission, which counterparts and facsimile signatures shall be considered original executed counterparts.

12.7

Expenses

The Credit Parties hereby jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all costs, taxes, fees, charges, expenses and advances incurred by Agent and/or its Affiliates (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and in-house counsels’ charges in accordance with their standard rate structures (but without duplication of work performed by outside counsel)), relating to or arising out of any Loan Document, any Related Document or any agreement, arrangement, instrument, matter or transaction contemplated thereby including, without limitation, in connection with exercising (or forbearing) any right or remedy under any of the foregoing, administering or monitoring the Obligations, syndicating any Loan, taking or refraining from taking any action requested by any Credit Party, seeking, obtaining or receiving any advice with respect to any of the foregoing, or modifying, amending, or waiving any of the foregoing. All of the foregoing shall be part of the Obligations.

12.8

Entire Agreement

The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between and among the parties thereto and supersede all prior agreements and arrangements relating to the subject matter thereof (including, without limitation, the Summary of Terms dated February 6, 2007). Execution hereof constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all Claims which any Credit Party or Lender Party may have under any Applicable Law or in equity in respect of all prior agreements, arrangements and discussions concerning the Loans. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions thereof. Any and all Schedules, exhibits, appendices, annexes and attachments to any Loan Documents shall be incorporated therein and made a part thereof, as applicable.

12.9

Confidentiality and Publicity

(a) Except to the extent required by Applicable Law, including, without limitation, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other similar regulatory filings, the Credit Parties and the Lender Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, (i) disclose any provision of

any Loan Document to any Person without prior written consent, other than to their respective directors, equity owners, advisors, counsel, accountants and officers on a need-to-know basis, all of whom shall be deemed to be bound by these provisions (and the Credit Parties and the Lender Parties, as applicable, shall be responsible for any violations hereof by such other Persons) or (ii) publish or disclose any materials containing any Credit Party’s or Lender Party’s name without first obtaining such party’s prior written consent. In addition, the Credit Parties shall not use any Lender Party’s name (or the name of any of their Affiliates) in connection with its operations or Business. Nothing contained in any Loan Document is intended to permit or authorize any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates to contract on behalf of any Lender Party.

(b) Each Lender Party shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in confidence, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information, all non-public information of a Credit Party that any Credit Party furnishes on a confidential basis (“Confidential Information”), other than any such Confidential Information that becomes generally available to the public or becomes available to any Lender Party from a source other than a Credit Party and that is not known to such recipient to be subject to confidentiality obligations; provided, that each Lender Party and their Affiliates shall have the right to disclose Confidential Information to:

(i) such Person’s Affiliates;

(ii) such Person’s or such Person’s Affiliates’ lenders, funding or financing sources;

(iii) such Person’s or such Person’s Affiliates’ directors, officers, trustees, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, advisors, representatives, attorneys, equity owners, professional consultants, portfolio management services and rating agencies;

(iv) any other Lender Party and any successor or assign of any Lender Party;

(v) any Person to whom any Lender Party offers to sell, assign or transfer any Loan or any part thereof or any interest or participation therein;

(vi) any Person that provides statistical analysis and/or information services to such Lender Party or its Affiliates; and

(vii) any Person (A) to the extent required by Applicable Law, (B) in response to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand, (C) in connection with any litigation, or (D) in connection with the actual or potential exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Loan Document.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, each Lender Party and their Affiliates may (i) disclose a general description of transactions arising under the Loan Documents and the Related Documents for advertising, marketing or other similar purposes, and (ii) use any Credit Party’s name, logo or other indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising, marketing or other similar purposes.

(d) The obligations of Lender Parties and their Affiliates under this Section 12.9 shall supersede and replace any other confidentiality obligations agreed to by any Lender Party or their Affiliates.

12.10 No Consequential Damages

No Lender Party nor any of its respective Affiliates, nor the managers, members, employees, officers, directors, trustees, partners, equity owners, agents, advisors, representatives, accountants, attorneys, successors, assigns or Affiliates of any of the foregoing shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages.

12.11 Joint and Several Liability

(a) Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable for full and prompt payment and performance of all Obligations. Each Borrower acknowledges that (i) it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated in this Agreement which would not have been available to Borrowers except upon the joint and several basis set forth herein, and (ii) Lender Parties have made no representation or warranty with respect to validity, genuineness, regularity, or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, and have no duty or responsibility whatsoever to any Borrower in respect of the management and maintenance of the Obligations or any Collateral. Each Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender Parties the full and prompt payment and performance of all Obligations and agrees that such guarantee is a continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection which shall not be discharged until all Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full and this Agreement is terminated.

(b) Each Borrower’s obligations under this Section 12.11 shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of and unaffected by (i) the lack of genuineness, validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations or Loan Documents, (ii) change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any rescission, amendment or modification to, or waiver or compromise or acceleration of or any consent with respect to, any of the Obligations or any Loan Document or any other guaranty or the failure to obtain the consent of any Borrower or other Person with respect thereto, (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or the failure by any Lender Party to perfect and maintain any Lien in, or to preserve any rights to, or the release or foreclosure of, any Collateral or other security for the Obligations, (iv) the change, restructuring, dissolution or termination of the structure or existence of any Credit Party or the insolvency or bankruptcy under any Debtor Relief Law of any Credit Party, (v) any action taken or omitted by any Lender Party or any failure of any Lender Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Credit Party or any other guarantor, or (vi) any other action or circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Lender Parties that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any co-obligor, Credit Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than actual indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash). Agent may enforce the Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and/or each remedy, Collateral or other security Agent may at any time have, without first proceeding against or joining any other Person, Collateral or other security for the Obligations. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Credit Party or whether any other Credit Party is joined in any such action or actions. Lender Parties shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or to proceed against or exhaust any Collateral before proceeding against any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that it may be joined as a party defendant in any legal proceeding instituted by any Lender Party against any Credit Party.

(c) To the extent that any Borrower makes payment under this Section 12.11 of all or any of the Obligations (other than on Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (an “Accommodation Payment”), then at such time as all the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash, such Borrower shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and to be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Person shall be equal to the maximum amount of

the claims for Accommodation Payments which could be recovered against such Person hereunder without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under the Bankruptcy Code, the applicable provisions of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Applicable Law after taking into account such Borrowers’ rights to indemnification and contribution from each other Borrower provided herein.

(d) Each Borrower hereby: (i) expressly and irrevocably subordinates to the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, any and all rights at law, in equity or otherwise to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, set off or any other rights that could accrue to a co-obligor, surety or guarantor and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that this Section 12.11 shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability for the Obligations or the enforceability of the Loan Documents, and shall survive payment in full of the Obligations. As further security for the Obligations, any and all debts and liabilities now or hereafter arising and owing by any Borrower to any other Credit Party are hereby subordinated to Lender Parties’ claims and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default are assigned to Agent, and no Borrower shall demand, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any Credit Party owing to it until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and this Agreement terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of any indebtedness, such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and such Borrower shall immediately deliver any such amounts to Agent for application to the Obligations.

(e) Each Borrower hereby expressly assumes all responsibilities to remain informed of the financial condition of the other Credit Parties and any other guarantors of the Obligations and any circumstances affecting the Collateral or the ability of the Credit Parties to perform under the Loan Documents.

XIII

TAXES

13.1

Taxes

(a) Subject to Section 13.1(e), (i) all payments by any Credit Party to any Lender Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all present or future Taxes, (ii) the Credit Parties shall pay any present or future Other Taxes, and (iii) the Credit Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender Party for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 13.1) paid by such Lender Party and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not they were correctly or legally asserted, payment of which shall be made within ten (10) days from the date any Lender Party makes written demand therefor. For purposes of this Section 13.1, the term “Taxes” shall mean all levies, imposts, deductions, charges and/or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party, those imposed on or measured by the net income of such Lender Party by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or maintains a Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such excluded items being hereinafter referred to as “Excluded Taxes”), and the term “Other Taxes” shall mean stamp and/or documentary taxes and/or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under the Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery, performance or registration of, or otherwise with respect to any Loan Document.

(b) If any Credit Party shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender Party, then, subject to Section 13.1(e): (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including those applicable to additional sums payable under this

Section 13.1), such Lender Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made or required, and (ii) such Credit Party shall make such deductions and/or withholdings and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and provide written evidence of such timely payment to Agent within five Business Days of having made such payment.

(c) Within 10 days after the date of any payment by any Credit Party of Taxes or Other Taxes, Borrowers shall furnish to Agent (and the applicable Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(d) Each Lender that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, or a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America (or any state or territory thereof or the District of Columbia), or a trust or estate that is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent (i) two copies of each U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, and (ii) a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a ten (10%) percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Credit Party and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to any Credit Party (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Credit Parties under the Loan Documents. Such items shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a Lender under this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers and Agent at such time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any item previously delivered hereunder . Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any items or document pursuant hereto that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. Upon Borrowers’ or Agent’s reasonable request, any Lender that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrowers or Agent, as applicable, a properly completed and duly executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any subsequent version thereof or successor thereto.

(e) The Credit Parties will not be required to pay any amounts in respect of United States Federal income tax pursuant to Section 13.1(b) to any Lender Party: (i) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender Party to comply with its obligations under Section 13.1(d), or (ii) if such Lender Party has complied with Section 13.1(d) but such Lender Party shall not at such time be entitled to exemption from deduction or withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of payments by the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents for any reason other than a change in United States law, treaty or regulations or in the official interpretation of such law or regulations by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date of delivery of the items delivered pursuant to Section 13.1(d).

(f) If any Credit Party requests any Lender Party to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Article XIII or any Lender Party takes any actions pursuant to Article XIII, then the Credit Parties shall reimburse such Lender Party for all costs and expenses (including in-house and external attorneys’ fees and expenses (but, in the case of in-house counsels’ fees and expenses, without duplication of work performed by outside counsel)) reasonably incurred by such Lender Party in connection therewith.

(g) If any Credit Party is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender Party pursuant to Section 13.1(b) hereof, then such Lender Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (consistent

with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue unless such change in the sole judgment of such Lender Party is otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party, provided, that the Credit Parties shall reimburse such Lender Party for all costs and expenses (including in-house and external attorneys’ fees and expenses (but, in the case of in-house counsels’ fees and expenses, without duplication of work performed by outside counsel)) reasonably incurred as a result of or in connection with such change (including, without limitation, Taxes, Other Taxes and/or Excluded Taxes imposed on, with respect to or in connection with such reimbursement).

(h) The agreements and obligations of the Credit Parties in this Section 13.1 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of the Loan Documents.

XIV

GUARANTY

14.1

Guaranty

(a) Each Guarantor jointly and severally hereby unconditionally and irrevocably (i) guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance when due of all now existing and hereafter arising Obligations, and (ii) agrees to pay any and all costs, fees and expenses (including in-house and external attorneys’ fees and expenses (but, in the case of in-house counsels’ fees and expenses, without duplication of work performed by outside counsel)) reasonably incurred by Lender Parties in enforcing the Guaranty set forth in this Article XIV (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance when due and not of collection which shall not be discharged until all Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in cash and performed in full and this Agreement is terminated.

(b) Each Guarantor jointly and severally hereby unconditionally and irrevocably (i) guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any such terms or the rights of any Lender Party, and (ii) waives any rights and defenses it may now or hereafter have. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article XIV are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and Agent may enforce the this Article XIV independently as to each Guarantor and/or each remedy, Collateral or other security Agent may at any time have, without first proceeding against or joining any other Person, Collateral or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Credit Party or whether any other Credit Party is joined in any such action or actions. Lender Parties shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or to proceed against or exhaust any Collateral before proceeding against any Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that it may be joined as a party defendant in any legal proceeding instituted by any Lender Party against any other Credit Party. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article XIV shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any Credit Party to Lender Parties under any Loan Document but for, and shall be unaffected by, any of the following:

(i) lack of genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Obligations or Loan Document;

(ii) change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any rescission, amendment or modification to, or waiver or compromise or acceleration of or any consent with respect to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any Loan Document or any other guaranty or the failure to obtain the consent or any Guarantor or other Person with respect thereto;

(iii) the existence, value or condition of, or the failure by any Lender Party to perfect and maintain any Lien in, or to preserve any rights to, or the release or foreclosure of, any Collateral or other security for the Obligations;

(iv) the change, restructuring, dissolution or termination of the structure or existence of any Credit Party or the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Credit Party under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any action taken or omitted by any Lender Party or any failure of any Lender Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Credit Party or any other guarantor; or

(vi) other action or circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Lender Parties that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any co-obligor, Credit Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than actual indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash).

(c) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated in this Agreement which would not have been available to the Credit Parties except upon the joint and several basis set forth herein and with the Guaranty provided in this Article XIV, and (ii) Lender Parties have made no representation or warranty with respect to validity, genuineness, regularity, or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, and have no duty or responsibility whatsoever to any Guarantor in respect to the management and maintenance of the Guaranteed Obligations or any Collateral.

14.2

Reinstatement

This Article XIV shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned to any Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

14.3

Additional Waivers

Without limiting any other provision of any Loan Document, each Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness, diligence, and all notices with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and this Article XIV and any requirement that Lender Parties exhaust any right or take any action against any other Person or Collateral, and (ii) any setoff rights and presentation to, demand for payment from and protest to, as the case may be, any Credit Party or any other Person of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

14.4

Continuing Guaranty

This Article XIV is a continuing Guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and shall (i) not be discharged until all Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full and this Agreement is terminated, (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Lender Parties and their respective successor, pledgees, transferees and assigns. Each Guarantor waives any right to revoke this Article XIV.

14.5

Maximum Liability

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIV, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that each Guarantor’s obligations

hereunder shall not exceed its Allocable Amount. In determining the foregoing limitation, if any, the parties intend that any rights of subrogation or contribution which any Guarantor may have shall be taken into account. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time exceed the maximum liability of each Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lender Parties hereunder.

14.6

Subordination

Each Guarantor hereby (i) expressly and irrevocably subordinates to the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations, any and all rights at law, in equity or otherwise to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, set off or any other rights that could accrue to a co-obligor, surety or guarantor and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that this Section 14.6 shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability for the Guaranteed Obligations or the enforceability of the Loan Documents, and shall survive payment in full of the Obligations. As further security for the Guaranteed Obligations, any and all debts and liabilities now or hereafter arising and owing by any Guarantor to any other Credit Party are hereby subordinated to Lender Parties’ claims and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default are assigned to Agent, and no Guarantor shall demand, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any Credit Party owing to it until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and this Agreement terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of any indebtedness, such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Parties, and such Guarantor shall immediately deliver any such amounts to Agent for application to the Obligations.

14.7

Subrogation

No Guarantor shall exercise any rights against any other Person that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article XIV, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender Parties against any other Person or any Collateral, whether or not arising under Applicable Law, in equity, by agreement or otherwise, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and this Agreement has been terminated; provided that no Guarantor shall have any rights hereunder against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries if all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Capital Stock of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a Pledge Agreement or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of this Article XIV, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender Parties and shall forthwith be paid to Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations.

14.8

Information Concerning Borrowers

Each Guarantor hereby expressly assumes all responsibilities to remain informed of the financial condition of the other Credit Parties and any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations and any circumstances affecting the Collateral or the ability of the Credit Parties to perform under the Loan Documents.

Each Revolving Lender’s participation commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (i) L/C Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or to cause the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (ii) no Letter of Credit remains outstanding and uncancelled; or (iii) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to all Letters of Credit. The obligations of a Revolving Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of Agent or the L/C Issuer with respect to a Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable, without any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances; provided, however, that after paying in full its reimbursement obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of Borrowers or any Revolving Lender, as the case may be, to commence any proceeding against such L/C Issuer for any wrongful disbursement made by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result or solely to the extent of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such L/C Issuer;

(q) If by reason of (i) any change in any Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by any Underlying Issuer, Agent or Revolving Lender with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto): (1) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or (2) there shall be imposed on any Underlying Issuer, L/C Issuer, Revolving Lender or Agent any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto; and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to any Underlying Issuer, L/C Issuer, Revolving Lender or Agent of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by any Underlying Issuer, L/C Issuer, Revolving Lender or Agent, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrowers, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate Underlying Issuer, L/C Issuer, Agent and Revolving Lenders for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the Applicable Rate for Advances. The determination by Agent of any amount due as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

(r) Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that certain of the Documentary Letters of Credit may provide for the presentation of time drafts to the Underlying Issuer. If an Underlying Issuer accepts such a time draft that is presented under and in accordance with an Underlying Letter of Credit, it is acknowledged and agreed that (i) the Documentary Letter of Credit will require the L/C Issuer to reimburse the Underlying Issuer for amounts paid on account of such time draft on or after the maturity date thereof, (ii) the pricing provisions hereof (including Section 3.4(a)) shall continue to apply, until payment of such time draft on or after the maturity date thereof, as if the Underlying Letter of Credit were still outstanding, and (iii) on the date on which L/C Issuer makes payment to the Underlying Issuer of the amounts paid on account of such time draft, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such amount to L/C Issuer and such amount shall constitute an L/C Disbursement hereunder.

(s) Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of any Standby Letter of Credit or Documentary Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the liability with respect to such Letter of Credit and the obligations of Borrowers with respect thereto. Each Revolving Lender shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to the issuer of any such Letter of Credit therefore and discharge when due, its Pro Rata Share of all of such obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Revolving Lender’s participation in any such Letter of Credit, to the extent that the issuer has not been reimbursed or otherwise paid as required hereunder or under any such Letter of Credit, each such Revolving Lender shall pay to the issuer its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed drawing or other amounts then due to issuer in connection therewith.
