Revolver Commitment

2.1.1.

Revolver Loans

. Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up to its Revolver Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans to Borrowers from time to time through the Commitment Termination Date on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed as provided herein. In no event shall Lenders have any obligation to honor a request for a Revolver Loan if the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans outstanding at such time (including the requested Loan) would exceed the Borrowing Base. Base Rate Loans shall be made only to U.S. Borrowers and shall be denominated only in Dollars. Foreign Currency Loans shall only be made or continued as LIBOR Loans and not as Base Rate Loans. Each of the Foreign Currency Borrowers may receive Revolver Loans for its account on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement but only Revolver Loans that are Foreign Currency Loans denominated in the respective Foreign Currency of such Foreign Currency Borrower, and only to the extent that such Foreign Currency Loans, when added to all other Foreign Currency Loans outstanding, do not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Borrower be entitled to receive a Revolver Loan if at the time of the proposed funding of such Revolver Loan (and after giving effect thereto and all pending requests for Revolver Loans), the aggregate amount of such outstanding and requested Revolver Loans plus the LC Obligations on such date exceeds (or would exceed) the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments.

2.1.2.

Revolver Notes

. The Revolver Loans made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender. At the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall deliver a Revolver Note to such Lender.

2.1.3.

Use of Proceeds

. The proceeds of Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely (a) to satisfy existing Debt; (b) to pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of this credit facility; (c) to pay Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (d) for working capital and other lawful corporate purposes of Borrowers. None of the proceeds of the Loans will be used directly or indirectly to fund a personal loan to or for the benefit of a director or executive officer of a Borrower or a Guarantor, or otherwise used for any purpose that is prohibited by Applicable Law.

2.1.4.

Voluntary Reduction or Termination of Revolver Commitments.

(a)

The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Revolver Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon at least 30 days prior written notice to Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Revolver Commitments and this credit facility. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable. On the termination date, Borrowers shall make Full Payment of all Obligations.

(b)

Borrowers may permanently reduce the Revolver Commitments, on a Pro Rata basis for each Lender, from time to time upon written notice to Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction, shall be irrevocable once given, shall be given at least five Business Days prior to the end of a month and shall be effective as of the first day of the next month. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, or an increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(c)

Concurrently with any termination of the Revolver Commitments by Borrowers, for whatever reason (other than as a condition to a refinancing of the credit facilities hereunder by Bank of America) at any time before the last day of the calendar month that is 36 calendar months after the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for its own account, and as liquidated damages for loss of bargain (and not as a penalty), an amount equal to the Initial Real Estate Assessment Costs multiplied by (i) the number of calendar months remaining in such 36 month period, divided by (ii) 36.

2.1.5.

Overadvances

. If the aggregate Revolver Loans exceed the Borrowing Base ("Overadvance") or the aggregate Revolver Commitments at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrowers on demand by Agent, but all such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Unless its authority has been revoked in writing by Required Lenders, Agent may require Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required), and (ii) the Overadvance is not known by Agent to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased by more than $2,000,000, and (ii) does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the outstanding Revolver Loans and LC Obligations to exceed the aggregate Revolver Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.1.6.

Protective Advances

. Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that a Default or Event of Default exists or any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied, and without regard to the aggregate Commitments, to make Base Rate Revolver Loans ("Protective Advances") (a) up to an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 outstanding at any time, if Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect any Collateral, or to enhance the collectibility or repayment of Obligations; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Obligors under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses. All Protective Advances shall be Obligations, secured by the Collateral, and shall be treated for all purposes as Extraordinary Expenses. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent's authorization to make further Protective Advances by written notice to Agent. Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

2.2.

Term Loan Commitment

2.2.1.

Term Loans

. Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up to its Term Loan Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make a Term Loan to U.S. Borrowers. The Term Loans shall be funded by Lenders on the Closing Date. The Term Loan Commitment of each Lender shall expire upon the funding by Lenders of the Term Loans. Once repaid, whether such repayment is voluntary or required, Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

2.2.2.

Term Notes

. The Term Loan made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and such Lender. At the request of any Lender, U.S. Borrowers shall deliver a Term Note to such Lender.

2.3.1.

Issuance of Letters of Credit

. Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time until 30 days prior to the Revolver Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a)

Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank's willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank's receipt of a LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives a LC Request and LC Application at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; and (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied. If Issuing Bank receives written notice from a Lender at least one Business Day before issuance of a Letter of Credit that any LC Condition has not been satisfied, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue the requested Letter of Credit (or any other) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by that Lender or until Required Lenders have waived such condition in accordance with this Agreement. Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.

(b)

Letters of Credit may be requested by a U.S. Borrower only (i) to support obligations of such Borrower incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business; or (ii) for other purposes as Agent and Lenders may approve from time to time in writing. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion of Issuing Bank.

(c)

Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, no Credit Party shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Credit Party, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. The rights and remedies of Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

(d)

In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, notice or other communication in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.3.2.

Reimbursement; Participations.

(a)

If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, U.S. Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, on the same day ("Reimbursement Date"), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Revolver Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, U.S. Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolver Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(b)

Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata interest and participation in all LC Obligations relating to the Letter of Credit. If Issuing Bank makes any payment under a Letter of Credit and U.S. Borrowers do not reimburse such payment on the Reimbursement Date, Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) and unconditionally pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, the Lender's Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall furnish copies of any Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(c)

The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank's payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or the existence of any setoff or defense that any Obligor may have with respect to any Obligations. Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. Issuing Bank does not make to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents or any Obligor. Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor.

(d)

No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence or willful misconduct. Issuing Bank shall not have any liability to any Lender if Issuing Bank refrains from any action under any Letter of Credit or LC Documents until it receives written instructions from Required Lenders.

2.3.3.

Cash Collateral

. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that Availability is less than zero, (c) after the Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within 20 Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, then U.S. Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank's or Agent's request, pay to Issuing Bank the amount of all outstanding LC Obligations and Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit. If U.S. Borrowers fail to Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit as required herein, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance, as Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied).

2.3.4.

Existing Letters of Credit.

As of the Closing Date, there exist certain letters of credit issued by Issuing Bank for the account of one or more of the U.S. Borrowers more fully described on Schedule 2.3.4 attached hereto (collectively, the "Existing Letters of Credit"). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, on and as of the Closing Date, such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit hereunder for all purposes as fully as if such Existing Letters of Credit had been issued as Letters of Credit hereunder.

2.4.

Foreign Currency Loans; Intra-Lender Issues.

2.4.1.

Foreign Currency Loan Participations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at the option of Agent, in its discretion, all Foreign Currency Loans shall be made solely by Bank of America. Each Lender that does not make such Foreign Currency Loan (in each case, a "Participating Foreign Currency Lender"), shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire and shall be deemed to irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and acquire from Bank of America, and Bank of America shall sell and be deemed to sell to each such Participating Foreign Currency Lender, without recourse or any representation or warranty whatsoever, an undivided interest and participation (a "Foreign Currency Loan Participation") in each Foreign Currency Loan funded by Bank of America in an amount equal to such Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Borrowing that includes such Foreign Currency Loan. Such purchase and sale of a Foreign Currency Loan Participation shall be deemed to occur automatically upon the making of a Foreign Currency Loan by Bank of America, without any further notice to any Participating Foreign Currency Lender. The purchase price payable by each Participating Foreign Currency Lender to Bank of America for each Foreign Currency Loan Participation purchased by it from Bank of America shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Foreign Currency Loan Participation (i.e., the product of (i) the amount of the Borrowing that includes the relevant Foreign Currency Loan and (ii) such Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s Pro Rata Share), and such purchase price shall be payable by each Participating Foreign Currency Lender to Bank of America in accordance with the settlement procedure set forth in Section 2.4.2 below. Bank of America and Agent shall record on their books the amount of the Foreign Currency Loans made by Bank of America and each Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s Foreign Currency Loan Participation therein, all payments in respect thereof and interest accrued thereon and all payments made by and to each Participating Foreign Currency Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.

2.4.2.

Settlement Procedures for Foreign Currency Loan Participations.

Each Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s Foreign Currency Loan Participation in the Foreign Currency Loans (other than Agent Advances) shall be in an amount equal to its Pro Rata share of all such Foreign Currency Loans. However, in order to facilitate the administration of the Foreign Currency Loans made by Bank of America and the Foreign Currency Loan Participations, settlement among Bank of America and the Participating Foreign Currency Lenders with regard to the Participating Foreign Currency Lenders’ Foreign Currency Loan Participations shall take place in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)

Bank of America and the Participating Foreign Currency Lenders shall settle (a "Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement") by payments in respect of the Foreign Currency Loan Participations as follows: So long as any Foreign Currency Loans are outstanding, Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlements shall be effected through Agent on such Business Days as Agent shall specify by a notice by telecopy, telephone or similar form of notice to each Participating Foreign Currency Lender requesting such Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement (each such date on which a Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement occurs herein called a "Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date"), such notice to be delivered no later than 2:00 p.m. at least one Business Day prior to the requested Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date; provided, that Agent shall have the option but not the obligation to specify a Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date. If on any Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date the total principal amount of the Foreign Currency Loans made or deemed made by Bank of America during the period ending on (but excluding) such Foreign Currency Loan Settlement Date and commencing on (and including) the immediately preceding Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date (or the Closing Date in the case of the period ending on the first Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date) (each such period herein called a "Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Period") is greater than the principal amount of Foreign Currency Loans repaid during such Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Period to Bank of America, each Participating Foreign Currency Lender shall pay to Bank of America (through Agent), no later than 2:00 p.m. on such Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date, an amount equal to such Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amount of such excess. If in any Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Period the outstanding principal amount of the Foreign Currency Loans repaid to Bank of America in such period exceeds the total principal amount of the Foreign Currency Loans made or deemed made by Bank of America during such period, Bank of America shall pay to each Participating Foreign Currency Lender (through Agent) on such Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date an amount equal to such Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s Pro Rata share of such excess. Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlements in respect of Foreign Currency Loans shall be made in the applicable Foreign Currency on the Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date for such Foreign Currency Loans.

(ii)

If any Participating Foreign Currency Lender fails to pay to Bank of America on any Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date the full amount required to be paid by such Participating Foreign Currency Lender to Bank of America on such Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Date in respect of such Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s Foreign Currency Loan Participation (such Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s "Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Amount") with Bank of America, Bank of America shall be entitled to recover such unpaid amount from such Participating Foreign Currency Lender, together with interest thereon (in the same respective currency or currencies as the relevant Foreign Currency Loans) at the LIBOR Rate applicable to Revolver Loans with respect to Foreign Currency Loans. Without limiting Bank of America’s rights to recover from any Participating Foreign Currency Lender any unpaid Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Amount payable by such Participating Foreign Currency Lender to Bank of America, Agent shall also be entitled to withhold from amounts otherwise payable to such Participating Foreign Currency Lender an amount equal to such Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s unpaid Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Amount owing to Bank of America and apply such withheld amount to the payment of any unpaid Foreign Currency Loan Participation Settlement Amount owing by such Participating Foreign Currency Lender to Bank of America.

2.4.3.

Obligations Irrevocable.

The obligations of each Participating Foreign Currency Lender to purchase from Bank of America a participation in each Foreign Currency Loan made by Bank of America and to make payments to Bank of America with respect to such participation and to make payments to Bank of America with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currency Loan, and related LC Support, in each case as provided herein, shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or of any Revolver Loans, against any Borrower or any Guarantor; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower or any Guarantor may have at any time in respect of any Foreign Currency Loans or Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currency Loan; (iii) any application or misapplication of any proceeds of any Foreign Currency Loans; (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for any Foreign Currency Loans; (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (vi) the commencement or pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Obligor; or (vii) the failure to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 hereof.

2.4.4.

Recovery or Avoidance of Payments.

In the event any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Obligor received by Agent with respect to any Foreign Currency Loan made by Bank of America is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from Agent in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or due to any mistake of law or fact, each Participating Foreign Currency Lender shall, upon demand by Agent, pay to Bank of America (through Agent) such Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s Pro Rata share of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate and in the currency required to be paid by Bank of America or Agent upon the amount required to be repaid by it.

2.4.5.

Indemnification by Lenders.

Each Participating Foreign Currency Lender agrees to indemnify Bank of America (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document) ratably for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Bank of America in any way relating to or arising out of any Foreign Currency Loans or any participations by Bank of America in any Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currency Loan or related LC Support or any action taken or omitted by Bank of America in connection therewith; provided that no Participating Foreign Currency Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Bank of America. Without limiting the foregoing, each Participating Foreign Currency Lender agrees to reimburse Bank of America promptly upon demand for such Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s Pro Rata share of any costs or expenses payable by the Borrowers to Bank of America in respect of the Foreign Currency Loans to the extent that Bank of America is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. The agreement contained in this Section 2.4.5 shall survive payment in full of all Foreign Currency Loans.

2.4.6.

Foreign Currency Loan Participation Fee.

In consideration for each Participating Foreign Currency Lender’s participation in the Foreign Currency Loans made by Bank of America, Bank of America agrees to pay to Agent for the account of each Participating Foreign Currency Lender, as and when Bank of America receives payment of interest on its Foreign Currency Loans, a fee (the "Foreign Currency Loan Participation Fee") at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin on such Foreign Currency Loans minus 0.25% on the Unfunded Foreign Currency Loan Participation of such Participating Foreign Currency Lender in such Foreign Currency Loans of Bank of America. The Foreign Currency Loan Participation Fee in respect of any Unfunded Foreign Currency Loan Participation in a Foreign Currency Loan shall be payable to Agent when interest on such Foreign Currency Loan is received by Bank of America. If Bank of America does not receive payment in full of such interest, the Foreign Currency Loan Participation Fee in respect of the Unfunded Foreign Currency Loan Participation in such Foreign Currency Loans shall be reduced proportionately.

3.1.

Interest.

3.1.1.

Rates and Payment of Interest.

(a)

The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Revolver Loans. Interest shall accrue from the date the Loan is advanced or the Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid by Borrowers. If a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day's interest shall accrue. The Base Rate on the date hereof is 8.25% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 8.25% per annum for Base Rate Revolver Loans and 8.25% per annum for Term Loans constituting Base Rate Loans.

(b)

During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, or during any other Event of Default if Agent or Required Lenders in their discretion so elect, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Agent and each Lender due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Agent and Lenders for such added cost and expense.

(c)

Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of each calendar quarter and, for any LIBOR Loan, the last day of its Interest Period; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

3.1.2.

Application of Adjusted LIBOR to Outstanding Loans.

(a)

Subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, U.S. Borrowers may on any Business Day elect to convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan, and Foreign Currency Borrowers may on any Business Day elect to continue any LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as a LIBOR Loan. During any Default or Event of Default, Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan; provided, however, that, during any Default or Event of Default, Agent may, in its discretion, allow the Foreign Currency Borrowers, or any of them, to borrow or continue Foreign Currency Loans as LIBOR Loans.

(b)

Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be converted or continued, whether such Loans are Foreign Currency Loans (in which case, the Foreign Currency Loans may only be continued and may not be converted), the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified). In no event may a Foreign Currency Borrower convert a LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan at any time. If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, they shall be deemed to have elected (i) in the case of Loans that are not Foreign Currency Loans, to convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans, and (ii) in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, to continue such Loans as LIBOR Loans having a one month Interest Period.

3.1.3.

Interest Periods

. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period ("Interest Period") to apply, which interest period shall be one, two, or three or six months; provided, however, that:

(a)

the Interest Period shall commence on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a LIBOR Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at its end;

(b)

if any Interest Period commences on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any Interest Period would expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day; and

(c)

no Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Term Loan may extend beyond a date on which Borrowers are required to make a scheduled payment of principal on such Loan; and no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolver Termination Date.

3.1.4.

Interest Rate Not Ascertainable

. If Agent shall determine that on any date for determining Adjusted LIBOR, due to any circumstance affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining such rate on the basis provided herein, then Agent shall immediately notify Borrowers of such determination. Until Agent notifies Borrowers that such circumstance no longer exists, the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, and no further Loans may be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans.

3.2.

Fees

3.2.1.

Unused Line Fee

. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to 0.15% per annum times the amount by which the Revolver Commitments exceed the Average Revolver Loan Balance for any calendar quarter (or portion thereof that the Borrower Commitments are in effect). Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.2.

LC Facility Fees

. Borrowers shall pay (a) to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the applicable Letter of Credit fee as set out in the definition of Applicable Margin times the average daily stated amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each calendar quarter; (b) to Agent, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the stated amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable upon issuance of the Letter of Credit and on each anniversary date of such issuance, and shall be payable on any increase in stated amount made between any such dates; and (c) to Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred. During an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be increased by 2% per annum.

3.2.3.

Closing Fee

. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of the Lenders, a closing fee of $29,750, which shall be paid concurrently with the funding of the initial Loans hereunder.

3.3.

Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection

. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days. Each determination by Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate or refund, nor subject to proration except as specifically provided herein. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.9, submitted to Borrowers by Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

3.4.

Reimbursement Obligations

. Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for all Extraordinary Expenses. Borrowers shall also reimburse Agent for all legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Agent's Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared by Agent's personnel or a third party. All legal, accounting and consulting fees shall be charged to Borrowers by Agent's professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any reduced or alternative fee billing arrangements that Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates may have with such professionals with respect to this or any other transaction. All amounts reimbursable by Borrowers under this Section shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and shall be payable on demand.

3.5.

Illegality

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if (a) any change in any law or interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority makes it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to maintain any Commitment with respect to LIBOR Loans or (b) a Lender determines that the making or continuance of a LIBOR Loan has become impracticable as a result of a circumstance that adversely affects the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market, then such Lender shall give notice thereof to Agent and Borrowers and may (i) declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender, whereupon any request for a LIBOR Loan from such Lender shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such Lender's declaration has been withdrawn (and it shall be withdrawn promptly upon cessation of the circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) above); and/or (ii) require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by such Lender be converted to Base Rate Loans immediately, in which event all outstanding LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall be immediately converted to Base Rate Loans.

3.6.

Increased Costs

. If, by reason of (a) the introduction of or any change (including any change by way of imposition or increase of Statutory Reserves or other reserve requirements) in any law or interpretation thereof, or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any Governmental Authority or other Person exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law):

(i)

a Lender shall be subject to any Tax with respect to any LIBOR Loan or Letter of Credit or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, issue Letters of Credit or participate in LC Obligations, or a change shall result in the basis of taxation of any payment to a Lender with respect to its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, issue Letters of Credit or participate in LC Obligations (except for Excluded Taxes); or

(ii)

any reserve (including any imposed by the Board of Governors), special deposits or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, a Lender shall be imposed or deemed applicable, or any other condition affecting a Lender's LIBOR Loans or obligation to make LIBOR Loans, issue Letters of Credit or participate in LC Obligations shall be imposed on such Lender or the London interbank market;

and as a result there shall be an increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations (except to the extent already included in determination of Adjusted LIBOR), or there shall be a reduction in the amount receivable by such Lender, then the Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers and Agent of such event, and Borrowers shall, within five days following demand therefor, pay such Lender the amount of such increased costs or reduced amounts.

If a Lender determines that, because of circumstances described above or any other circumstances arising hereafter affecting such Lender, the London interbank market or the Lender's position in such market, Adjusted LIBOR or its Applicable Margin, as applicable, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding LIBOR Loans, issuing Letters of Credit or participating in LC Obligations, then (A) the Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers and Agent of such event; (B) such Lender's obligation to make LIBOR Loans, issue Letters of Credit or participate in LC Obligations shall be immediately suspended, until each condition giving rise to such suspension no longer exists; and (C) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.

3.7.

Capital Adequacy

. If a Lender determines that any introduction of or any change in a Capital Adequacy Regulation, any change in the interpretation or administration of a Capital Adequacy Regulation by a Governmental Authority charged with interpretation or administration thereof, or any compliance by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with a Capital Adequacy Regulation, increases the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or Person (taking into consideration its capital adequacy policies and desired return on capital) as a consequence of such Lender's Commitments, Loans, participations in LC Obligations or other obligations under the Loan Documents, then Borrowers shall, within five days following demand therefor, pay such Lender an amount sufficient to compensate for such increase. A Lender's demand for payment shall set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation and a calculation of the amount to be paid. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method.

3.8.

Mitigation

. Each Lender agrees that, upon becoming aware that it is subject to Section 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 or 5.9, it will take reasonable measures to reduce Borrowers' obligations under such Sections, including funding or maintaining its Commitments or Loans through another office, as long as use of such measures would not adversely affect the Lender's Commitments, Loans, business or interests, and would not be inconsistent with any internal policy or applicable legal or regulatory restriction.

3.9.

Funding Losses

. If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, or (c) Borrowers fail to repay a LIBOR Loan when required hereunder, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent its customary administrative charge and to each Lender all losses and expenses that it sustains as a consequence thereof, including any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits of matching funds. Lenders shall not be required to purchase Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or any other offshore Dollar market to fund any LIBOR Loan, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if each Lender had purchased such deposits to fund its LIBOR Loans.

3.10.

Maximum Interest

. In no event shall interest, charges or other amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Agent and Lenders pursuant to any Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law ("interest") exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law ("maximum rate"). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent the foregoing limitation, would have exceeded the maximum rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the maximum rate and, if in a future month, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the maximum rate, then the rate shall remain at the maximum rate until the amount of interest actually paid equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if it had not been limited by the maximum rate. If, upon Full Payment of the Obligations, the total amount of interest actually paid under the Loan Documents is less than the total amount of interest that would, but for this Section, have accrued under the Loan Documents, then Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have been charged if the maximum rate had been in effect at all times, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents been in effect, minus (b) the amount of interest actually paid under the Loan Documents. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Agent or any Lender has received interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed under Applicable Law, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, Obligations other than interest (regardless of any erroneous application thereof by Agent or any Lender), and upon Full Payment of the Obligations, any balance shall be refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether any excess interest has been charged or received by Agent or any Lender, all interest at any time charged or received from Borrowers in connection with the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations.

SECTION 4.

LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1.

Manner of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans

4.1.1.

Notice of Borrowing.

(a)

Whenever Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of Revolver Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (i) on the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least three Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the principal amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified).

(b)

Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Bank Product Debt) shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Revolver Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation.

(c)

If Borrowers establish a controlled disbursement account with Agent or any Affiliate of Agent, then the presentation for payment of any check or other item of payment drawn on such account at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Revolver Loans on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the check and items presented for payment. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement account or other appropriate account.

4.1.2.

Fundings by Lenders

. Each Lender shall timely honor its Revolver Commitment by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Revolver Loans that is properly requested hereunder. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Agent shall endeavor to notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 12:00 noon on the proposed funding date for Base Rate Loans or by 3:00 p.m. at least two Business Days before any proposed funding of LIBOR Loans. Each Lender shall fund to Agent such Lender's Pro Rata share of the Borrowing to the account specified by Agent in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested funding date, unless Agent's notice is received after the times provided above, in which event Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Revolver Loans as directed by Borrower Agent. Unless Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent, and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers. If a Lender's share of any Borrowing is not in fact received by Agent, then Borrowers agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to such Borrowing.

4.1.3.

Swingline Loans; Settlement.

(a)

Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, advance Swingline Loans to U.S. Borrowers out of Agent's own funds, up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $5,000,000, unless the funding is specifically required to be made by all Lenders hereunder. Each Swingline Loan shall constitute a Revolver Loan for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to Agent for its own account. The obligation of U.S. Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans shall be evidenced by the records of Agent and need not be evidenced by any promissory note.

(b)

To facilitate administration of the Revolver Loans, Lenders and Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that settlement among them with respect to Swingline Loans and other Revolver Loans may take place periodically on a date determined from time to time by Agent, which shall occur at least once every five Business Days. On each settlement date, settlement shall be made with each Lender in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Agent to Lenders. Between settlement dates, Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Revolver Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by any Borrower or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender's obligation to make settlements with Agent is absolute and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. If, due to an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a Borrower or otherwise, any Swingline Loan may not be settled among Lenders hereunder, then each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from Agent a Pro Rata participation in each unpaid Swingline Loan and shall transfer the amount of such participation to Agent, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Agent's request therefor.

4.1.4.

Notices.

Each Borrower authorizes Agent and Lenders to extend, convert or continue Loans, effect selections of interest rates, and transfer funds to or on behalf of Borrowers based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions. Borrowers shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs in any material respect from the action taken by Agent or Lenders, the records of Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower's behalf.

4.2.

Defaulting Lender

. If a Lender fails to make any payment to any Credit Party that is required hereunder, Agent may (but shall not be required to), in its discretion, retain payments that would otherwise be made to such defaulting Lender hereunder, apply the payments to such Lender's defaulted obligations or readvance the funds to Borrowers in accordance with this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan or to make a payment in respect of a LC Obligation shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender. Lenders and Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that, solely for purposes of determining a defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters relating to the Loan Documents and to share in payments, fees and Collateral proceeds thereunder, a defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a "Lender" until all its defaulted obligations have been cured.

4.3.

Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate

For ease of administration, all LIBOR Revolver Loans and all LIBOR Term Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together, and such Loans shall be allocated among Lenders on a Pro Rata basis. No more than 10 aggregated LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and each aggregate LIBOR Loan when made, continued or converted shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, or an increment of $500,000 in excess thereof, or in such lower minimum amount or incremental amount as Agent may determine in its discretion.

Upon determining Adjusted LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.4.

Borrower Agent

. Each Borrower hereby designates Bairnco ("Borrower Agent") as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications with Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Agent and Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Agent shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

4.5.

One Obligation

. The Loans (including the Foreign Currency Loans), LC Obligations and other Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of U.S. Borrowers, the Foreign Currency Loans and other Obligations relating to the Foreign Currency Loans shall constitute one general obligation of the Foreign Currency Borrowers, and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document) the Loans (including the Foreign Currency Loans), LC Obligations and other Obligations shall be secured by Agent's Lien upon all Collateral; provided, however, that each Credit Party shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

4.6.

Effect of Termination

. On the effective date of any termination of the Commitments, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and any Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates' Bank Products (including, with the consent of Agent, any Cash Management Services). All undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents until Full Payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding Full Payment of the Obligations, Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to any damages Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Obligations, Agent receives (a) a written agreement, executed by Borrowers and any Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Agent and Lenders from any such damages; or (b) such Cash Collateral as Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary to protect against any such damages. The provisions of Sections 2.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.9, 12, 14.2 and this Section, and the obligation of each Obligor and Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility.

SECTION 5.

PAYMENTS

5.1.

General Payment Provisions

. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Borrowers may, at the time of payment, specify to Agent the Obligations to which such payment is to be applied, but Agent shall in all events retain the right to apply such payment in such manner as Agent, subject to the provisions hereof, may determine to be appropriate. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Any payment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9. Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans.

5.2.

Repayment of Revolver Loans

. Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolver Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium. If any Asset Disposition includes the disposition of Accounts or Inventory, then Net Proceeds equal to the greater of (a) the net book value of such Accounts and Inventory, or (b) the reduction in the Borrowing Base upon giving effect to such disposition, shall be applied to the Revolver Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Agent's demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of Revolver Loans to the Borrowing Base.

5.3.

Repayment of Term Loans

5.3.1.

Payment of Principal

. The principal amount of the Term Loans shall be repaid on the first Business Day of each month in consecutive monthly installments of $93,284, commencing on December 1, 2006, and continuing through November 1, 2011, with all principal, interest and other amounts owing with respect to the Terms Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Each installment shall be paid to Agent for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders. Once repaid, whether such repayment is voluntary or required, Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

5.3.2.

Mandatory Prepayments

(a)

Concurrently with any Permitted Asset Disposition of Equipment or Real Estate, Borrowers shall prepay Term Loans in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such disposition;

(b)

Concurrently with the receipt of any proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards paid in respect of any Equipment or Real Estate, Borrowers shall prepay Term Loans in an amount equal to such proceeds, subject to Section 8.6.2;

(c)

Concurrently with any issuance of Equity Interests by a Borrower other than sales by Bairnco of its Equity Interests in a public offering or to its employees or directors pursuant to a stock option plan, Borrowers shall prepay Term Loans in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such issuance; and

(d)

On the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers shall prepay all Term Loans (unless sooner repaid hereunder).

5.3.3.

Optional Prepayments

. Borrowers may, at their option from time to time, prepay the Term Loans. Borrowers shall give written notice to Agent of an intended prepayment of Term Loans, which notice shall specify the amount of the prepayment, shall be irrevocable once given, shall be given at least 10 Business Days prior to the end of a month and shall be effective as of the first day of the next month.

5.3.4.

Interest; Application of Prepayments

. Each prepayment of Term Loans shall be accompanied by all interest accrued thereon and any amounts payable under Section 3.9, and shall be applied to principal in inverse order of maturity.

5.4.

Payment of Other Obligations

. Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.

5.5.

Marshaling; Payments Set Aside

. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any Obligor makes a payment to Agent or Lenders, or if Agent or any Lender receives payment from the proceeds of Collateral, exercise of setoff or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently invalidated or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligations originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received and any enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.6.

Post-Default Allocation of Payments

5.6.1.

Allocation

. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(a)

first, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Agent;

(b)

second, to all amounts owing to Agent on Swingline Loans or Protective Advances;

(c)

third, to all amounts owing to Issuing Bank on LC Obligations;

(d)

fourth, to all Obligations constituting fees (excluding amounts relating to Bank Products);

(e)

fifth, to all Obligations constituting interest (excluding amounts relating to Bank Products);

(f)

sixth, to provide Cash Collateral for outstanding Letters of Credit;

(g)

seventh, to all other Obligations, other than Bank Product Debt; and

(h)

last, to Bank Product Debt.

Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until Full Payment thereof and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Obligations in the category. The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Lenders as among themselves, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Obligor. This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower.

5.6.2.

Erroneous Application

. Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

5.7.

Application of Payments

. The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations, in such manner as Agent deems advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Agent in its records. If, as a result of Agent's receipt of Payment Items or proceeds of Collateral, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Default or Event of Default exists.

5.8.

Loan Account; Account Stated

5.8.1.

Loan Account

. Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts ("Loan Account") evidencing the Debt of Borrowers resulting from each Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit from time to time. Any failure of Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of Borrower Agent, and each Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations.

5.8.2.

Entries Binding

. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.9.

Taxes

. If any Taxes (except Excluded Taxes) shall be payable by any party due to the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any Obligations, Borrowers shall pay (and shall promptly reimburse Credit Parties for their payment of) all such Taxes, including any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitees against all liability in connection therewith. If Borrowers shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes (except Excluded Taxes) with respect to any sum payable under any Loan Documents, (a) the sum payable to any Credit Party hall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions, Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made; (b) Borrowers shall make such withholding or deductions; (c) Borrowers shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law; and (d) promptly after payment thereof, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent copies of tax returns or filings, or other documentation satisfactory to Agent in its discretion, evidencing such payment of all such Taxes.

5.10.

Withholding Tax Exemption

. At least five Business Days prior to the first date for payment of interest or fees hereunder to a Foreign Lender, the Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any subsequent replacement or substitute form therefor), certifying that such Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent two additional copies of such form before the preceding form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the form, as well as any amendments, extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent, in each case, certifying that the Foreign Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any such taxes, unless an event (including any change in treaty or law) has occurred that renders such forms inapplicable or prevents the Foreign Lender from certifying that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes. During any period that a Foreign Lender does not or is unable to establish that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes, other than by reason of an event (including any change in treaty or law) that occurs after it becomes a Lender, Agent may withhold taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory and treaty rates, and Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under this Section as a result of such withholding.

5.11.

Currency Fluctuations.

5.11.1.

Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the last Business Day of each calendar month or, in the event that the Exchange Rate fluctuates in excess of 10% during such calendar month, any other Business Day in the reasonable discretion of Agent (the "Calculation Date"), Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such date. The Exchange Rate so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following such determination (a "Reset Date") and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date. Nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall be construed to require Agent to calculate compliance under this Section 5.11 more frequently than once each month.

5.11.2.

Not later than 4:00 p.m. on each Reset Date, Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency Loans.

5.11.3.

If, on any Reset Date, the Total Revolver Exposure exceeds the total amount of the Revolver Commitments on such date, the aggregate amount of the Foreign Currency Loans on such date exceeds the Foreign Currency Sublimit on such date (the amount of any such excess referred to herein as the "Excess Amount") then (i) Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrowers and Lenders and (ii) within 1 Business Day thereafter, Borrowers shall cause such excess to be eliminated, either by repayment of Revolver Loans or depositing of Cash Collateral with Agent with respect to LC Obligations and until such Excess Amount is repaid, Lenders shall not have any obligation to make any Loans.

5.12.

Nature and Extent of Each Borrower's Liability

5.12.1.

Joint and Several Liability

. Each (i) U.S. Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents, and (ii) each Foreign Currency Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Foreign Currency Loans and other Obligations relating to the Foreign Currency Loans, in each case regardless of which Borrower received the proceeds of any Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans or other extensions of credit or the manner in which any Credit Party accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records, it being acknowledged and agreed that Loans (including Foreign Currency Loans) and other extensions of credit to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all U.S. Borrowers and that Loans and other extensions of credit to any Foreign Currency Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all Foreign Currency Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or liable; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by any Credit Party with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any Credit Party's election in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of any Credit Party against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations.

5.12.2.

Waivers

(a)

Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 5.11.3, each Borrower expressly waives all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, as well as all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b)

Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral or any Real Estate by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.12. If, in the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower's rights of subrogation against any other Person. If Agent bids at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

5.12.3.

No Reduction in Liability for Obligations

. No payment or payments made by an Obligor or received or collected by any Credit Party or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Borrower under this Agreement for any remaining Obligations, each of whom shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all Obligations until Full Payment of such Obligations.

5.12.4.

Extent of Liability; Contribution

(a)

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.12 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower's Allocable Amount.

(b)

If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.12 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a "Guarantor Payment") that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The "Allocable Amount" for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 5.12 without rendering such payment voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c)

Nothing contained in this Section 5.12 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Borrower’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Agent and Lenders shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower.

5.12.5.

Joint Enterprise

. Each Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers' business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers' business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Agent's and Lenders' willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers' request.

5.12.6.

Subordination

. Each U.S. Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Foreign Currency Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have at any time against any other Foreign Currency Borrower, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Foreign Currency Loans and other Obligations relating to the Foreign Currency Loans.

Each Borrower authorizes and directs each bank or other depository to deliver to Agent, on a daily basis, all balances in each Deposit Account maintained by such Borrower with such depository for application to the Obligations then outstanding.

If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Agent's request, Borrowers shall obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Agent.

7.5.

No Assumption of Liability

. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Agent or any Lender to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Borrowers relating to any Collateral.

7.6.

Further Assurances

. Promptly upon request, Borrowers shall deliver such instruments, assignments, title certificates, or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as Agent deems appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement. Each Borrower authorizes Agent to file any financing statement that indicates the Collateral as "all assets" or "all personal property" of such Borrower, or words to similar effect, and ratifies any action taken by Agent before the Closing Date to effect or perfect its Lien on any Collateral.

Borrowers shall include a recalculation of Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory in each Borrowing Base Certificate delivered during the second week of each month. All calculations of Availability in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be made by Borrowers and certified by a Senior Officer, provided that Agent may from time to time review and adjust any such calculation (a) to reflect its reasonable estimate of declines in value of any Collateral, due to collections received in the Dominion Account or otherwise; (b) to adjust advance rates to reflect changes in quality, mix and other factors affecting Collateral; and (c) to the extent the calculation is not made in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the Availability Reserve. In no event shall the Borrowing Base on any date be deemed to exceed the amounts shown on the Borrowing Base Certificate last received by Agent prior to such date, as the calculation in such Borrowing Base Certificate may be adjusted from time to time by Agent as herein authorized.

8.2.

Administration of Accounts

8.2.1.

Records and Schedules of Accounts

. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes, Agent is authorized, in its discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that no Credit Party shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from Borrowers or with respect to any Collateral.

8.2.3.

Account Verification

. Whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Agent, any designee of Agent or any Borrower to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Borrowers by mail, telephone or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

8.2.4.

Maintenance of Dominion Account

. Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements acceptable to Agent. Borrowers shall obtain an agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to Agent) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Agent's control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account and, if such Dominion Account is not maintained with Bank of America, requiring immediate transfer of all funds in the Dominion Account to a Dominion Account maintained with Bank of America, and waiving offset rights of such servicer or bank against any funds in the lockbox or Dominion Account, except offset rights for customary administrative charges and for Payment Items dishonored or returned for insufficient funds, on terms acceptable to Agent. No Credit Party assumes any responsibility to Borrowers for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

8.2.5.

Proceeds of Collateral

. Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take all reasonable steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account).

8.3.

Administration of Inventory

8.3.1.

Records and Reports of Inventory

. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and additions, and shall submit to Agent inventory reports in form satisfactory to Agent, on such periodic basis as Agent may request. Each Borrower shall conduct either a physical inventory at least once per calendar year or periodic cycle counts consistent with historical practices (provided that, each Borrower shall conduct a physical inventory when requested by Agent from time to time at any time that an Event of Default exists), and shall provide to Agent a report based on each such inventory and count promptly upon completion thereof, together with such supporting information as Agent may request. Agent may participate in and observe each inventory or physical count.

8.3.2.

Returns of Inventory

. No Borrower shall return any Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless (a) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) no Default, Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result therefrom; (c) Agent is promptly notified if the aggregate Value of all Inventory returned in any month exceeds $250,000; and (d) any payment received by a Borrower for a return is promptly remitted to Agent for application to the Obligations.

Each Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account and, with the consent of Agent, will amend Schedule 8.5 to reflect same. Each U.S. Borrower shall maintain each of its lockbox and collection accounts, and, where feasible, each of its disbursement accounts at Bank of America.

8.6.2.

Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

(a)

Each Borrower shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, theft, malicious mischief, and such other risks, in such amounts, with such endorsements, and with such insurers (rated A VII or better by A.M. Best Rating Guide) as are satisfactory to Agent. All proceeds under each policy shall be payable to Agent. From time to time upon request, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent the originals or certified copies of its insurance policies and updated flood plain searches. Unless Agent shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent as sole loss payee or additional insured, as appropriate; (ii) requiring 30 days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy. If any Borrower fails to provide and pay for such insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge Borrowers therefor. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly as rendered, copies of all reports made to insurance companies. While no Event of Default exists, Borrowers may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered to Agent. If an Event of Default exists, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

(b)

Any proceeds of insurance (other than proceeds from workers' compensation or D&O insurance) and any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to Agent. Any such proceeds or awards that relate to Inventory shall be applied to payment of the Revolver Loans, and then to any other Obligations outstanding, other than Term Loans. Subject to clause (c) below, any proceeds or awards that relate to Equipment or Real Estate shall be applied first to Term Loans, then to Revolver Loans and then to other Obligations.

(c)

If requested by Borrowers in writing within 15 days after Agent's receipt of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards relating to any loss or destruction of Equipment or Real Estate, Borrowers may use such proceeds or awards to repair or replace such Equipment or Real Estate (and until so used, the proceeds shall be held by Agent as Cash Collateral) as long as (i) no Default or Event of Default exists; (ii) such repair or replacement is promptly undertaken and concluded, in accordance with plans satisfactory to Agent; (iii) replacement buildings are constructed on the sites of the original casualties and are of comparable size, quality and utility to the destroyed buildings; (iv) the repaired or replaced Property is free of Liens, other than Permitted Liens that are not Purchase Money Liens; (v) Borrowers comply with disbursement procedures for such repair or replacement as Agent may reasonably require; and (vi) the aggregate amount of such proceeds or awards from any single casualty or condemnation does not exceed $7,000,000.

8.6.3.

Protection of Collateral

. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Borrowers. Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Agent's actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Borrowers' sole risk.

. Each Borrower shall at all times defend its title to Collateral and Agent's Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands whatsoever, except Permitted Liens.

8.7.

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Borrower's true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent, or Agent's designee, may, without notice and in either its or a Borrower's name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers:

(a)

Endorse a Borrower's name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into Agent's possession or control; and

(b)

During an Event of Default, (i) notify any Account Debtors of the assignment of their Accounts, demand and enforce payment of Accounts, by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise any rights and remedies with respect to Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, modify, compromise, discharge or release any Accounts or other Collateral, or any legal proceedings brought to collect Accounts or Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any Accounts and other Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such times as Agent deems advisable; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any proceeds of Collateral; (v) prepare, file and sign a Borrower's name to a proof of claim or other document in a bankruptcy of an Account Debtor, or to any notice, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document; (vi) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to a Borrower, and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as Agent may designate; (vii) endorse any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice, freight ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ of lading, or similar document or agreement relating to any Accounts, Inventory or other Collateral; (viii) use a Borrower's stationery and sign its name to verifications of Accounts and notices to Account Debtors; (ix) use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to any Collateral; (x) make and adjust claims under policies of insurance; (xi) take any action as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain payment under any letter of credit or banker's acceptance for which a Borrower is a beneficiary; and (xii) take all other actions as Agent deems appropriate to fulfill any Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

9.1.2.

Power and Authority

. Each Obligor is duly authorized to execute, deliver and perform its Loan Documents.

9.1.4.

Capital Structure

. Schedule 9.1.4 shows, for each Borrower and Subsidiary, its name, its jurisdiction of organization, its authorized and issued Equity Interests, the holders of its Equity Interests, and all agreements binding on such holders with respect to their Equity Interests.

The chief executive offices and other places of business of Borrowers and Subsidiaries are shown on Schedule 8.6.1. During the five years preceding the Closing Date, no Borrower or Subsidiary has had any other office or place of business.

9.1.6.

Title to Properties; Priority of Liens

. Each Borrower and Subsidiary has good and marketable title to (or valid leasehold interests in) all of its Real Estate, and good title to all of its personal Property, including all Property reflected in any financial statements delivered to Agent or Lenders, in each case free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Each Borrower and Subsidiary has paid and discharged all lawful claims that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its Properties, other than Permitted Liens. All Liens of Agent in the Collateral are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens that are expressly allowed to have priority over Agent's Liens.

9.1.7.

Accounts

. Agent may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and representations made by Borrowers with respect thereto. Borrowers warrant, with respect to each Account at the time it is shown as an Eligible Account in a Borrowing Base Certificate, that:

(a)

it is genuine and in all respects what it purports to be, and is not evidenced by a judgment;

(b)

it arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods or rendition of services in the Ordinary Course of Business, and substantially in accordance with any purchase order, contract or other document relating thereto;

(c)

it is for a sum certain, maturing as stated in the invoice covering such sale or rendition of services, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Agent on request;

(d)

it is not subject to any offset, Lien (other than Agent's Lien), deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or other adverse condition except as arising in the Ordinary Course of Business and disclosed to Agent; and it is absolutely owing by the Account Debtor, without contingency in any respect;

(e)

no purchase order, agreement, document or Applicable Law restricts assignment of the Account to Agent (regardless of whether, under the UCC, the restriction is ineffective);

(f)

no extension, compromise, settlement, modification, credit, deduction or return has been authorized with respect to the Account, except discounts or allowances granted in the Ordinary Course of Business for prompt payment that are reflected on the face of the invoice related thereto and in the reports submitted to Agent hereunder; and

(g)

to the best of Borrowers' knowledge, (i) there are no facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to impair the enforceability or collectibility of such Account; (ii) the Account Debtor had the capacity to contract when the Account arose, continues to meet the applicable Borrower's customary credit standards, is Solvent, is not contemplating or subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, and has not failed, or suspended or ceased doing business; and (iii) there are no proceedings or actions threatened or pending against any Account Debtor that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Account Debtor's financial condition.

9.1.8.

Financial Statements

. The consolidated and consolidating balance sheets, and related statements of income, cash flow and shareholder's equity, of Borrowers and Subsidiaries that have been and are hereafter delivered to Agent and Lenders, are prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial positions and results of operations of Borrowers and Subsidiaries at the dates and for the periods indicated. All projections delivered from time to time to Agent and Lenders have been prepared in good faith, based on reasonable assumptions in light of the circumstances at such time. Since December 31, 2005, there has been no change in the condition, financial or otherwise, of any Borrower or Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No financial statement delivered to Agent or Lenders at any time contains any untrue statement of a material fact, nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make such statement not materially misleading.

There is no pending or, to any Borrower's knowledge, threatened Intellectual Property Claim with respect to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their Property (including any Intellectual Property). Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.12, no Borrower or Subsidiary pays or owes any Royalty or other compensation to any Person with respect to any Intellectual Property.

9.1.13.

Governmental Approvals

. Each Borrower and Subsidiary has, is in compliance with, and is in good standing with respect to, all Governmental Approvals necessary to conduct its business and to own, lease and operate its Properties. All necessary import, export or other licenses, permits or certificates for the import or handling of any goods or other Collateral have been procured and are in effect, and Borrowers and Subsidiaries have complied with all foreign and domestic laws with respect to the shipment and importation of any goods or Collateral, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.1.14.

Compliance with Laws

. Each Borrower and Subsidiary has duly complied, and its Properties and business operations are in compliance, in all material respects with all Applicable Law, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Borrower or Subsidiary has received any Environmental Notice. No Borrower or Subsidiary has any contingent liability with respect to any Environmental Release, environmental pollution or hazardous material on any Real Estate now or previously owned, leased or operated by it. The representations and warranties contained in the Environmental Agreement are true and correct on the Closing Date.

9.1.16.

Burdensome Contracts

. No Borrower or Subsidiary is a party or subject to any contract, agreement or charter restriction that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower or Subsidiary is party or subject to any Restrictive Agreement, except as shown on Schedule 9.1.16, none of which prohibit the execution or delivery of any Loan Documents by an Obligor nor the performance by an Obligor of any obligations thereunder.

9.1.17.

Litigation

. Except as shown on Schedule 9.1.17, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to any Borrower's knowledge, threatened against any Borrower or Subsidiary, or any of their businesses, operations, Properties, prospects or conditions, that (a) relate to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby; or (b) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if determined adversely to any Borrower or Subsidiary. No Borrower or Subsidiary is in default with respect to any order, injunction or judgment of any Governmental Authority.

9.1.18.

No Defaults

. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists that constitutes a Default or Event of Default. No Borrower or Subsidiary is in default, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a default, under any Material Contract or in the payment of any Borrowed Money. There is no basis upon which any party (other than a Borrower or Subsidiary) could terminate a Material Contract prior to its scheduled termination date.

9.1.19.

ERISA

. Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.19, no Borrower or Subsidiary has any Multiemployer Plan or Foreign Plan. Each Borrower and Subsidiary is in full compliance with the requirements of all Applicable Law, including ERISA, relating to each Multiemployer Plan and Foreign Plan. No fact or situation exists that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect in connection with any Multiemployer Plan or Foreign Plan. No Borrower or Subsidiary has any withdrawal liability in connection with a Multiemployer Plan or Foreign Plan. All employer and employee contributions to Foreign Plans, to the extent required by law or the terms of such plans, have been made or accrued in accordance with normal accounting principles. The fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance and/or the book reserve established for each Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, are sufficient to provide the accrued benefit obligations of all participants in such plans according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles. Each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and is maintained in good standing with all applicable regulatory authorities.

9.1.20.

Trade Relations

. There exists no actual or threatened termination, limitation or modification of any business relationship between any Borrower or Subsidiary and any customer or supplier, or any group of customers or suppliers, who individually or in the aggregate are material to the business of such Borrower or Subsidiary. There exists no condition or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to impair the ability of any Borrower or Subsidiary to conduct its business at any time hereafter in substantially the same manner as conducted on the Closing Date.

9.1.21.

Labor Relations

. Except as described on Schedule 9.1.21, no Borrower or Subsidiary is party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement, management agreement or consulting agreement. There are no material grievances, disputes or controversies with any union or other organization of any Borrower's or Subsidiary's employees, or, to any Borrower's knowledge, any asserted or threatened strikes, work stoppages or demands for collective bargaining.

9.1.22.

Payable Practices

. No Borrower or Subsidiary has made any material change in its historical accounts payable practices from those in effect on the Closing Date.

9.1.23.

Not a Regulated Entity

. No Obligor is (a) an "investment company" or a "person directly or indirectly controlled by or acting on behalf of an investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940; or (b) subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any public utilities code or any other Applicable Law regarding its authority to incur Debt.

9.1.24.

Margin Stock

. No Borrower or Subsidiary is engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No Loan proceeds or Letters of Credit will be used by Borrowers to purchase or carry, or to reduce or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin Stock or for any related purpose governed by Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

9.1.25.

Plan Assets

. No Borrower is an entity deemed to hold "plan assets" within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101 of any "employee benefit plan" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA or any "plan" (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the funding of any Loans gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

9.2.

Complete Disclosure

. No Loan Document contains any untrue statement of a material fact, nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading. There is no fact or circumstance that any Obligor has failed to disclose to Agent in writing that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

terminate, reduce or condition any Commitment, or make any adjustment to the Borrowing Base;

require Obligors to Cash Collateralize LC Obligations, Bank Product Debt and other Obligations that are contingent or not yet due and payable, and, if Obligors fail promptly to deposit such Cash Collateral, Agent may (and shall upon the direction of Required Lenders) advance the required Cash Collateral as Revolver Loans (whether or not an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied); and

(d)

exercise any other rights or remedies afforded under any agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise, including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Such rights and remedies include the rights to (i) take possession of any Collateral; (ii) require Borrowers to assemble Collateral, at Borrowers' expense, and make it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent; (iii) enter any premises where Collateral is located and store Collateral on such premises until sold (and if the premises are owned or leased by a Borrower, Borrowers agree not to charge for such storage); and (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in its then condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale, with such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk, at such locations, all as Agent, in its discretion, deems advisable. Each Borrower agrees that 10 days notice of any proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral by Agent shall be reasonable.

Agent shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.

Each Borrower's rights and interests under Intellectual Property shall inure to Agent's benefit.

11.4.

Setoff

. Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates are each authorized by Borrowers at any time during an Event of Default, without notice to Borrowers or any other Person, to set off and to appropriate and apply any deposits (general or special), funds, claims, obligations, liabilities or other Debt at any time held or owing by Agent, any Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the account of any Obligor against any Obligations, whether or not demand for payment of such Obligation has been made, any Obligations have been declared due and payable, are then due, or are contingent or unmatured, or the Collateral or any guaranty or other security for the Obligations is adequate.

11.5.

Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver

11.5.1.

Cumulative Rights. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not in derogation or substitution of each other. In particular, the rights and remedies of Credit Parties are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and shall not be exclusive of any other rights or remedies that any Credit Party may have, whether under any agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise.

11.5.2.

Waivers. The failure or delay of any Credit Party to require strict performance by Borrowers with any terms of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise, shall not operate as a waiver thereof nor as establishment of a course of dealing. All rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. No modification of any terms of any Loan Documents (including any waiver thereof) shall be effective, unless such modification is specifically provided in a writing directed to Borrowers and executed by Agent or the requisite Lenders, and such modification shall be applicable only to the matter specified. No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default that may exist at such time, unless expressly stated. If any Credit Party accepts performance by any Obligor under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein, or during any Default or Event of Default, or if any Credit Party shall delay or exercise any right or remedy under any Loan Documents, such acceptance, delay or exercise shall not operate to waive any Default or Event of Default nor to preclude exercise of any other right or remedy. It is expressly acknowledged by Borrowers that any failure to satisfy a financial covenant on a measurement date shall not be cured or remedied by satisfaction of such covenant on a subsequent date.

11.6.

Judgment Currency

. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to convert any amount due under this Agreement in Dollars or in any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 11.6 called the "first currency") into any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 11.6 called the "second currency"), then the conversion shall be made at Agent's spot rate of exchange for buying the first currency with the second currency prevailing at the Agent's close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the judgment is given or (as the case may be) the order is made. Any payment made by a Borrower to any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement in the second currency shall constitute a discharge of the obligations of Borrowers to pay to such Credit Party any amount originally due to the Credit Party in the first currency under this Agreement only to the extent of the amount of the first currency which such Credit Party is able, on the date of the receipt by it of such payment in any second currency, to purchase, in accordance with such Credit Party's normal banking procedures, with the amount of such second currency so received. If the amount of the first currency falls short of the amount originally due to such Credit Party in the first currency under this Agreement, the other Borrowers agree that they will indemnify each Credit Party against and save such Credit Party harmless from any shortfall so arising. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation of each such Borrower separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due to any Credit Party under any Loan Documents or under any such judgment or order. Any such shortfall shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by such Credit Party and Borrowers shall not be entitled to require any proof or evidence of any actual loss. The covenants contained in this Section 11.6 shall survive the Full Payment of the Obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 12.

AGENT

12.1.

Appointment, Authority and Duties of Agent

12.1.1.

Appointment and Authority. Each Lender appoints and designates Bank of America as Agent hereunder. Agent may, and each Lender authorizes Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for Agent's benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent or Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive 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; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Obligor or other Person; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) exercise all rights and remedies given to Agent with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender, Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto. Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, or whether to impose or release any reserve, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.

12.1.2.

Duties. Agent shall not have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, nor be required to initiate or conduct any Enforcement Action except to the extent directed to do so by Required Lenders while an Event of Default exists. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty on Agent's part to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

12.1.3.

Agent Professionals. Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

12.1.4.

Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.6 against all Claims that could be incurred by Agent in connection with any act. Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of all Lenders shall be required in the circumstances described in Section 14.1.1, and in no event shall Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct Agent to accelerate and demand payment of Loans held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of all other Loans, nor to terminate the Commitments of one Lender without terminating the Commitments of all Lenders. In no event shall Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

12.2.

Agreements Regarding Collateral and Field Examination Reports

12.2.1.

Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Lenders authorize Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations, (b) that is the subject of an Asset Disposition which Borrowers certify in writing to Agent is a Permitted Asset Disposition or a Lien which Borrowers certify is a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry), (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral, or (d) with the written consent of all Lenders. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lenders to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower, or is cared for, protected, insured or encumbered, nor to assure that Agent's Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

12.2.2.

Possession of Collateral. Agent and Lenders appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens (for the benefit of Secured Parties) in any Collateral that, under the UCC or other Applicable Law, can be perfected by possession. If any Lender obtains possession of any such Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent's request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with Agent's instructions.

12.2.3.

Reports. Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to each Lender copies of the results of any field audit or other examination or any appraisal prepared by or on behalf of Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral ("Report"). Each Credit Party agrees (a) that neither Bank of America nor Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon Borrowers' books and records as well as upon representations of Borrowers' officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Credit Party's internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Credit Party's Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations. Each Credit Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Credit Party may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as any Claims arising in connection with any third parties that obtain all or any part of a Report through such Credit Party.

12.3.

Reliance By Agent

. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of Agent Professionals.

12.4.

Action Upon Default

. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate its Obligations, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against an Obligor where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of proofs of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding.

12.5.

Ratable Sharing

. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.1, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Agent, Issuing Bank and the other Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.6.1, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

12.6.

Indemnification of Agent Indemnitees

12.6.1.

Indemnification. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF OBLIGORS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE. If Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference from an Obligor or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Agent by Lenders to the extent of each Lender's Pro Rata share.

12.6.2.

Proceedings. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time (whether prior to or after the Commitment Termination Date) any proceeding is brought against any Agent Indemnitees by an Obligor, or any Person claiming through an Obligor, to recover damages for any act taken or omitted by Agent in connection with any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or matters relating thereto, or otherwise to obtain any other relief of any kind on account of any transaction relating to any Loan Documents, each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees with respect thereto and to pay to Agent Indemnitees such Lender's Pro Rata share of any amount that any Agent Indemnitee is required to pay under any judgment or other order entered in such proceeding or by reason of any settlement, including all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in defending same. In Agent's discretion, Agent may reserve for any such proceeding, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distributions of Collateral proceeds to Lenders.

12.7.

Limitation on Responsibilities of Agent

. Agent shall not be liable to Credit Parties for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor or any other Credit Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Agent does not make to Credit Parties any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or Obligor. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Credit Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Credit Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

12.8.

Successor Agent and Co-Agents

12.8.1.

Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon receipt of such notice, Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a commercial bank that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state or district thereof, has a combined capital surplus of at least $200,000,000 and (provided no Default or Event of Default exists) is reasonably acceptable to Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, then Agent may appoint a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6 and 14.2. Notwithstanding any Agent's resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while Agent. Any successor by merger or acquisition of the stock or assets of Bank of America shall continue to be Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

12.8.2.

Separate Collateral Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent or co-collateral agent. If Agent so appoints a collateral agent or co-collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. Every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such agent shall run to and be enforceable by it as well as Agent. Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents as Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent or co-collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until appointment of a new agent.

12.9.

Due Diligence and Non-Reliance

. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Credit Party, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Credit Party has made such inquiries concerning the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each Obligor as such Credit Party feels necessary. Each Credit Party further acknowledges and agrees that the other Credit Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Credit Party will, independently and without reliance upon the other Credit Parties, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent or any of Agent's Affiliates.

12.10.

Replacement of Certain Lenders

. In the event that any Lender (a) fails to fund its Pro Rata share of any Loan or LC Obligation hereunder, and such failure is not cured within two Business Days, (b) defaults in performing any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (c) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s) specified by Agent, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Acceptance(s) and within 20 days after Agent's notice. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance if the Lender fails to execute same. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any prepayment charge).

12.11.

Remittance of Payments and Collections

12.11.1.

Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Agent and request for payment is made by Agent by 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Agent's right of offset for any amounts due from such Lender under the Loan Documents.

12.11.2.

Failure to Pay. If any Lender fails to pay any amount when due by it to Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall Borrowers be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Lender to Agent.

12.11.3.

Recovery of Payments. If Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the expectation that a related payment will be received by Agent from an Obligor and such related payment is not received, then Agent may recover such amount from each Lender that received it. If Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to an Obligor or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, Lenders shall pay to Agent, on demand, such Lender's Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.12.

Agent in its Individual Capacity

. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms "Lenders," "Required Lenders" or any similar term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as a Lender. Each of Bank of America and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if Bank of America were any other bank, without any duty to account therefor (including any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the other Lenders. In their individual capacity, Bank of America and its Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Lender agrees that Bank of America and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to Lenders, if acquired in such individual capacity and not as Agent hereunder.

12.13.

Agent Titles

. Each Lender, other than Bank of America, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Bank of America as an "Agent" or "Arranger" of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

12.14.

No Third Party Beneficiaries

. This Section 12 is an agreement solely among Credit Parties and does not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person. As between Borrowers and Agent, any action that Agent may take under any Loan Documents shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Lenders as herein provided.

SECTION 13.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

13.1.

Successors and Assigns

. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers and Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents, and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 13.3. Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 13.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

13.2.

Participations

13.2.1.

Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to a financial institution ("Participant") a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless Borrowers agree otherwise in writing.

13.2.2.

Voting Rights

. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Commitment Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor or substantial portion of the Collateral.

13.2.3.

Benefit of Set-Off

. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.

13.3.

Assignments

13.3.1.

Permitted Assignments

. A Lender may assign to any Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender's rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender be at least $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, or (ii) counterparties to swap agreements relating to any Loans; provided, however, that any payment by Borrowers to the assigning Lender in respect of any Obligations assigned as described in this sentence shall satisfy Borrowers' obligations hereunder to the extent of such payment, and no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

13.3.2.

Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of an assignment notice in the form of Exhibit D and a processing fee of $2,500, such assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 13.3. From the effective date of such assignment, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new Notes, as appropriate.

13.4.

Tax Treatment

. If any interest in a Loan Document is transferred to a Transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or district thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 5.10.

13.5.

Representation of Lenders

. Each Lender represents and warrants to each Borrower, Agent and other Lenders that none of the consideration used by it to fund its Loans or to participate in any other transactions under this Agreement constitutes for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code assets of any "plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code and the interests of such Lender in and under the Loan Documents shall not constitute plan assets under ERISA.

SECTION 14.

MISCELLANEOUS

14.1.

Consents, Amendments and Waivers

14.1.1.

Amendment. No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Agent, with the consent of Required Lenders, and each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that

(a)

without the prior written consent of Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of Agent;

(b)

without the prior written consent of Issuing Bank, no modification shall be effective with respect to any LC Obligations or Section 2.3;

(c)

without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, no modification shall be effective that would (i) increase the Commitment of such Lender; or (ii) reduce the amount of, or waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender; and

(d)

without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except a defaulting Lender as provided in Section 4.2), no modification shall be effective that would (i) extend the Revolver Termination Date or Term Loan Maturity Date; (ii) alter Section 5.6, 7.1 (except to add Collateral), or 14.1.1; (iii) amend the definitions of Borrowing Base (and the defined terms used in such definition), Pro Rata or Required Lenders; (iv) increase any advance rate, or increase total Commitments; (vi) release Collateral with a book value greater than $2,000,000 during any calendar year, except as currently contemplated by the Loan Documents; or (vii) release any Obligor from liability for any Obligations, if such Obligor is Solvent at the time of the release.

14.1.2.

Limitations. The agreement of Borrowers shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Agent and/or Issuing Bank as among themselves. Only the consent of the parties to the Fee Letter or any agreement relating to a Bank Product shall be required for any modification of such agreement, and no Affiliate of a Lender that is party to a Bank Product agreement shall have any other right to consent to or participate in any manner in modification of any other Loan Document. The making of any Loans during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default, nor to establish a course of dealing. Any waiver or consent granted by Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

14.1.3.

Payment for Consents. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

14.2.

Indemnity

. EACH BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

14.3.

Notices and Communications

14.3.1.

Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.1.4, all notices, requests and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at Borrower Agent's address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Acceptance), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.4, 2.3, 3.1.2, 4.1.1 or 5.3.3 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice, request or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.

14.3.2.

Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Electronic mail and internet websites may be used only for routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by Section 10.1.2, administrative matters, distribution of Loan Documents for execution, and matters permitted under Section 4.1.4. Agent and Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Electronic and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

14.3.3.

Non-Conforming Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower.

14.4.

Performance of Borrowers' Obligations

. Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers' expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Agent's Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Agent by Borrowers, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Revolver Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

14.5.

Credit Inquiries

. Each Borrower hereby authorizes each Credit Party (but no Credit Party shall have any obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Borrower or Subsidiary.

14.6.

Severability

. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

14.7.

Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms

. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise specifically provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

14.8.

Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures

. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by facsimile, and they shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals. Agent may require confirmation by a manually-signed original, but failure to request or deliver same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile signature.

14.9.

Entire Agreement

. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents embody the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior understandings regarding the same subject matter.

14.10.

Obligations of Credit Parties Several

. The obligations of each Credit Party hereunder are several, and no Credit Party shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Credit Party. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Agent or Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute Credit Parties to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Borrower. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in connection with all aspects of any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, Borrowers and each Credit Party have an arms-length business relationship that creates no fiduciary duty on the part of any Credit Party, and each Borrower and each Credit Party expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship.

14.11.

Confidentiality

. During the term of this Agreement and for 12 months thereafter, each Credit Party agrees to take reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any information that Borrowers deliver to Agent and Lenders and identify as confidential at the time of delivery, except that Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (a) to their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents, including legal counsel, auditors and other professional advisors; (b) to any party to the Loan Documents from time to time; (c) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency; (d) upon the request of any Governmental Authority exercising regulatory authority over Agent or such Lender; (e) which ceases to be confidential, other than by an act or omission of a Credit Party, or which becomes available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis; (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation relating to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby, or otherwise as required by Applicable Law; (g) to the extent reasonably required for the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents; (h) to any actual or proposed party to a Bank Product or to any Transferee, as long as such Person agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section; (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender's portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender; (j) to any investor or potential investor in an Approved Fund that is a Lender or Transferee, but solely for use by such investor to evaluate an investment in such Approved Fund, or to any manager, servicer or other Person in connection with its administration of any such Approved Fund; or (k) with the consent of Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders may issue and disseminate to the public general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Borrowers and a general description of Borrowers' businesses, and may use Borrowers' names in advertising and other promotional materials.

14.12.

[Reserved]

14.13.

GOVERNING LAW

. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

14.14.

Consent to Forum

. EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER GEORGIA, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT'S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

14.15.

Waivers by Borrowers

. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which Credit Party hereby also waives) in any proceeding, claim or counterclaim of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral; (b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which a Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against any Credit Party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to each Credit Party's entering into this Agreement and that each Credit Party is relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Borrowers. Each Borrower has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

14.16.

PATRIOT Act Notice

. Agent and Lenders hereby notify Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, Agent and Lenders are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrowers' management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth.
