AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement is entered into as of July 20, 2005, by and among World Acceptance Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (the “Borrower”), the several financial institutions from time to time party to this Agreement as Banks, JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Co-Agent, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇., as successor by merger with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust and Savings Bank, as Agent. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms as are defined in Section 5.1 hereof.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A. The Borrower is currently a party to that certain Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as June 30, 1997, as amended, among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇., as successor by merger with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Trust and Savings Bank, as agent for the lenders (the “Original Credit Agreement”).

B. The Borrower has requested that the aggregate commitments available under the Original Credit Agreement be increased, that certain additional amendments be made to the Original Credit Agreement and, for the sake of clarity and convenience, that the Original Credit Agreement be restated in its entirety as so amended. This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement amends and replaces in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement, and from and after the Effective Date all references made to the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without more, be deemed to refer to this Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. This Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement shall become effective as of July 20, 2005 (the “Effective Date”), and supersedes all provisions of the Original Credit Agreement as of such date, upon the execution of this Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement by each of the parties hereto and the fulfillment of the conditions precedent contained in Section 7.1 hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.

THE CREDIT.

Section 1.1. The Revolving Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Banks agree to extend a revolving credit (the “Revolving Credit”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (A) the Base Revolving Credit Commitments or, during the Availability Period, the sum of the Base Revolving Credit Commitments plus the Seasonal Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base as then determined and computed, which may be availed of by the Borrower in its discretion from time to time, be repaid and used again, to but not including the Termination Date. The Revolving Credit, subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, may be utilized by the Borrower in the form of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, all as more fully hereinafter set forth. The maximum amount of the Revolving Credit which each Bank agrees to extend to the

Borrower shall be such Bank’s Base Revolving Credit Commitment plus, during the Availability Period, such Bank’s Seasonal Revolving Credit Commitments (subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof). The maximum amount of the Revolving Credit that a Bank agrees to extend to the Borrower shall be the aggregate amount of its Commitment (subject to any reductions thereof pursuant to the terms hereof). The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint, and no Bank shall under any circumstances be obligated to extend credit hereunder in excess of its Commitment. Each Borrowing of Loans shall be made ratably from the Banks in proportion to their respective Commitments. On the Effective Date, all Eurodollar Loans outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement shall be prepaid out of the initial Borrowing hereunder (and each Bank currently a party to the Original Credit Agreement agrees to waive any compensation otherwise required by Section 2.10 of the Original Credit Agreement with respect to, and only with respect to, the prepayment of such Eurodollar Loans currently outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement) and concurrently therewith there shall be such non-ratable Borrowings of Loans and repayments thereof as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto the Banks each hold their ratable share of all Loans then outstanding in proportion to their respective Commitments (which Loans shall initially constitute Base Rate Loans).

SECTION 2.

GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS.

Section 2.1. Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan made by a Bank shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

“Base Rate” means for any day the greater of: (i) the rate of interest announced by the Agent from time to time as its prime commercial rate, or equivalent, as in effect on such day (it being understood and agreed that such rate may not be the Agent’s best or lowest rate); (ii) the average (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the rates per annum quoted to the Agent at approximately 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (or as soon thereafter as is practicable) on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) by two or more Federal funds brokers selected by the Agent for the sale to the Agent at face value of Federal funds in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount owed to the Agent for which such rate is being determined, plus 1/2 of 1%. Any change in the interest rate on any Base Rate Loan resulting from a change in said Base Rate shall be effective on the date of the relevant change in said Base Rate.

(b) Eurodollar Loans. Each Eurodollar Loan made by a Bank shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the applicable Eurodollar Margin plus the Adjusted LIBOR payable on the last day of the applicable Interest Period and at maturity

-2-

(whether by acceleration or otherwise), and, if the applicable Interest Period is longer than three months, on each day occurring every three months after the date such Loan is made.

“Adjusted LIBOR” means, for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, a rate per annum determined in accordance with the following formula:


		LIBOR
Adjusted LIBOR =		100% - Eurodollar Reserve Percentage

“LIBOR” means, for each Interest Period, (a) the LIBOR Index Rate for such Interest Period, if such rate is available, and (b) if the LIBOR Index Rate cannot be determined, the arithmetic average of the rates of interest per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) at which deposits in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds are offered to the Agent at 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) 2 Business Days before the beginning of such Interest Period by 3 or more major banks in the interbank eurodollar market selected by the Agent for a period equal to such Interest Period and in an amount equal or comparable to the applicable LIBOR Portion scheduled to be outstanding from the Agent during such Interest Period. “LIBOR Index Rate” means, for any Interest Period, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point) for deposits in U.S. Dollars for a period equal to such Interest Period which appears on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m. (London, England time) on the date 2 Business Days before the commencement of such Interest Period. “Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as “Page 3750” on the Telerate Service (or such other page as may replace Page 3750 on that service or such other service as may be nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as the information vendor for the purpose of displaying British Banker’s Association Interest Settlement Rates for U.S. Dollar deposits).

“Eurodollar Reserve Percentage” means, for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the daily average for the applicable Interest Period of the maximum rate at which reserves (including, without limitation, any supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves) are imposed during such Interest Period by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) under Regulation D on “eurocurrency liabilities”, as defined in such Board’s Regulation D (or in respect of any other category of liabilities that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined or any category of extension of credit or other assets that include loans by non-United States offices of any Bank to United States residents) subject to any amendments of such reserve requirement by such Board or its successor, taking into account any transitional adjustments thereto. For purposes of this definition, the Eurodollar Loans shall be deemed to be “eurocurrency liabilities” as defined in Regulation D without benefit of or credit for any prorations, exemptions or offsets under Regulation D.

“Eurodollar Margin” means 1.90% per annum.

(c) Rate Determinations. The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error.

-3-

Section 2.2. Minimum Borrowing Amounts. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than $300,000, or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000. Each Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an amount not less than $2,000,000, or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000.

Section 2.3. Borrowing Procedures. (a) Notice to the Agent. The Borrower shall give telephonic or telecopy notice to the Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing) by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (i) on the date at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of each requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) on the date of any requested Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date of the requested Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing, the type of Loans to comprise such Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower agrees that the Agent may rely on any such telephonic or telecopy notice given by any person it in good faith believes is authorized to request loans on behalf of the Borrower without the necessity of independent investigation, and, in the event any notice by such means conflicts with the written confirmation, such notice shall govern if the Agent has acted in reliance thereon.

(b) Notice to the Banks. The Agent shall give prompt (but in any event by 12:00 noon (Chicago time)) telephonic or telecopy notice to each of the Banks of any borrowing request received pursuant to Section 2.3(a) above and, if such notice requests the Banks to make Eurodollar Loans, the Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each of the Banks by like means of the interest rate applicable thereto (but, if such notice is given by telephone, the Agent shall confirm such rate in writing) promptly after the Agent has made such determination.

(c) Borrower’s Failure to Notify. If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a) above of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the period required by Section 2.3(a) for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or, whether or not such notice has been given, a Default or Event of Default then exists and such Borrowing is not prepaid, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.

(d) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of any Borrowing of Loans, each Bank shall make available its Loan in funds immediately available in Chicago, Illinois at the principal office of the Agent, except to the extent such Borrowing is a continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing, in whole or in part, in which case each Bank shall record on its books or records or on a schedule to the appropriate Note such continuation or conversion. Subject to Section 7 hereof, the Agent shall make the proceeds of each advance of a new Borrowing available to the Borrower at the Agent’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois not later than close of business on the date of such Borrowing.

Section 2.4. Interest Periods. As provided in Section 2.3 hereof, at the time of each request for the Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall select an Interest Period applicable to such Loans from among the available options. The term “Interest Period”

-4-

means the period commencing on the date a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans is made and ending, the date, as the Borrower may select, 1, 2, 3 or 6 months thereafter; provided, however, that:

(a) the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that extends beyond the Termination Date;

(b) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if such extension would cause the last day of such Interest Period to occur in the following calendar month, the last day of such Interest Period shall be the immediately preceding Business Day; and

(c) for purposes of determining the Interest Period for a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no numerically corresponding day in the month in which such an Interest Period is to end or if such an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end.

Section 2.5. Maturity of Loans. Each Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and become due and payable by the Borrower on the Termination Date.

Section 2.6. Prepayments. (a) Voluntary. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying without premium or penalty and in whole or in part (but, if in part, then: (i) in an amount not less than $100,000 in the case of Base Rate Loans, and in an amount not less than $500,000 in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) in an amount such that the minimum amount required for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof remains outstanding) any Borrowing of Loans at any time on any Business Day upon prior notice to the Agent (which shall advise each Bank thereof promptly thereafter) by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (x) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the date of each prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan and (y) on the date of each prepayment of a Base Rate Loan (or, in any case, such shorter period of time then agreed to by the Agent), such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, any compensation required by Section 2.10 hereof.

(b) Mandatory. (i) Concurrently with each reduction of the Commitments (whether voluntarily pursuant to Section 2.9 or otherwise), the Borrower shall prepay the Notes by the amount, if any, necessary so that the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall not exceed the Commitments as so reduced, each such prepayment to be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid, and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, any compensation required by Section 2.10 hereof.

(ii) The Borrower covenants and agrees that in the event that the outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall at any time and for any reason exceed the Borrowing Base as then determined and computed, the Borrower shall immediately upon the demand of the Agent or the

-5-

Required Banks pay over the amount of the excess to the Agent for the account of the Banks as and for a mandatory prepayment on the Notes together with any compensation required by Section 2.10 hereof.

(c) Reborrowings. Any amount paid or prepaid on the Loans on or before the Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again.

Section 2.7. Default Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans at a rate per annum equal to:

(a) with respect to any Base Rate Loan, the sum of two percent (2%) plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect; and

(b) with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, the sum of two percent (2%) plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;

provided, however, that in the absence of acceleration, any adjustments pursuant to this Section shall be made at the election of the Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Banks, with written notice to the Borrower. While any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, interest shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Banks.

Section 2.8. The Notes. (a) The Loans made to the Borrower by a Bank shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Each such promissory note as the same may from time to time be amended together with any notes executed in replacement thereof are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Note” and collectively as the “Notes”. Such Note shall be dated the date of issuance thereof and payable to the order of each Bank in the principal amount of its Commitment.

(b) Each Bank shall record on its books or records or on a schedule to the Note held by it the amount of each Loan made by it to the Borrower, the Interest Period applicable thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans, all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon, in respect of any Eurodollar Loan, the interest rate applicable thereto, and, in respect of any Loan, the type of such Loan; provided that prior to the transfer of any Note all such amounts shall be recorded on a schedule to such Note. The record thereof, whether shown on such books or records of a Bank or on a schedule to any Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such amounts; provided, however, that the failure of any Bank to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans made to it hereunder together with accrued interest thereon.

-6-

Section 2.9. Commitment Terminations. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent (or such shorter period of time then agreed to by the Agent) to terminate without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, the Commitments (which notice shall designate whether such termination relates to the Base Revolving Credit Commitments or the Seasonal Revolving Credit Commitments), any partial termination to be in an amount not less than $2,000,000 or any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and to reduce ratably the respective Commitments of each Bank; provided that the Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of Loans then outstanding.

(b) Upon the Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 10.4(c) of the Company Security Agreement or Section 10.4(c) of the Subsidiary Security Agreement, the Commitments shall automatically and without notice be ratably reduced (based on the Commitment of each Bank) by the amount of such proceeds.

Section 2.10. Funding Indemnity. In the event any Bank shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss of profit, and any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Bank) as a result of:

(a) any payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period,

(b) any failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 7 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow a Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof,

(c) any failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Eurodollar Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), or

(d) any acceleration of the maturity of a Eurodollar Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder,

then, upon the demand of such Bank, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such amount as will reimburse such Bank for such loss, cost or expense. If any Bank makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Agent, a certificate executed by an officer of such Bank setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-7-

SECTION 3.

FEES, EXTENSIONS AND APPLICATIONS.

Section 3.1. Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Banks a commitment fee at the rate of three-eighths of one percent (3/8 of 1%) per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) on the average daily unused portion of the maximum amount of the Commitments hereunder. Such commitment fee is payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the date hereof) and on the Termination Date, unless the Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date, in which event the fees for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.

Section 3.2. Audit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own use and benefit charges for audits of the Collateral performed by the Agent or its agents or representatives in such amounts as the Agent may from time to time request (the Agent acknowledging and agreeing that such charges shall be computed in the same manner as it at the time customarily uses for the assessment of charges for similar collateral audits); provided, however, that in the absence of any Default and Event of Default, the Borrower shall not be required to pay the Agent for more than one (1) such audit per calendar year.

Section 3.3. Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account an agent’s fee as mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agent.

Section 3.4. Extension of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the option to request extensions to the Termination Date pursuant to this Section 3.4. No less than 90 days prior to, but no more than 120 days prior to, September 30, 2006 (and, if the Termination Date has been extended pursuant to this Section 3.4, September 30 of each year thereafter), the Borrower may advise the Agent in writing of the Borrower’s desire to extend the Termination Date for an additional 12 months and the Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of each such request. If the Borrower makes any such request, each Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Agent within 60 days of such request stating whether such Bank is declining or consenting to any such request, or consenting to such request subject to specified terms and conditions. In the event that a Bank fails to so notify the Agent and the Borrower during such period, such Bank shall be deemed to have refused the requested extension. In the event that each Bank is agreeable to such extension (it being understood that the Banks may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect), the Borrower and the Banks shall enter into such documents as the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees) shall be paid by the Borrower. In the event any Bank declines a request to extend the Termination Date as provided above, the Borrower shall have the option to require, at the Borrower’s expense, such Bank to assign, at par plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse all of its interests, rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitment and the Loans and other amounts at the time owing to it hereunder and its Note) to another Bank or to another bank, financial institution or other entity specified by the Borrower willing to provide such financing, provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority, (ii) the

-8-

Borrower shall have received the written consent of the Agent to such assignment (which will not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) the Borrower shall have paid to the assigning Bank all monies other than such principal, interest and fees accrued and owing hereunder to it, and (iv) the assignment is entered into in accordance with the requirements of Section 12.10 hereof.

Each Restricted Subsidiary has full right and authority to enter into the Loan Documents entered into by it, to grant to the Security Trustee, for the benefit of the Banks, the Liens described in the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to perform all of its obligations thereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower, and by each Restricted Subsidiary, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Person and constitute valid and binding obligations of such Person enforceable in accordance with their terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and to the discretion of the court before which any proceedings may be brought; and the Loan Documents do not, nor does the performance or observance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of any of the matters or things herein or therein provided for, contravene any provision of law or any Governing Documents of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or a substantial portion of their respective Properties.

Section 6.7. No Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2005, there has been no change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or business prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries except changes in the ordinary course of business, none of which individually or in the aggregate have been materially adverse.

Section 6.8. Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.8 attached hereto, there is no litigation or governmental proceeding pending, nor to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against the Borrower or any Subsidiary which if adversely determined would (a) impair the validity or enforceability of, or impair the ability of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to perform its obligations under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (b) result in any material adverse change in the financial condition or Property, business or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 6.9. Taxes. All tax returns required to be filed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any jurisdiction have, in fact, been filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or upon any of their respective properties, income or franchises, which are shown to be due and payable in such returns have been paid.

Section 6.12. ERISA. The Borrower and each Subsidiary are in compliance in all material respects with ERISA, to the extent applicable to them and have received no notice to the contrary from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or any other governmental entity or agency. As of December 31, 2004, the liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to PBGC in respect of Unfunded Vested Liabilities would not have been in excess of $0 if all employee pension benefit plans maintained by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries had been terminated as of such date.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement benefits under a Welfare Plan, other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and liability for post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any agreement to which it is a party, which default might have a material adverse effect on the business, properties or assets, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness.

Section 6.14. Compliance with Laws. (a) Environmental. (i) The business and operation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries comply in all respects with all applicable Environmental Legal Requirements, except to the extent that such noncompliance would not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(ii) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has given, nor should it give, nor has it received, any notice, letter, citation, order, warning, complaint, inquiry, claim or demand that: (i) the Borrower or such Subsidiary has violated, or is about to violate, any federal, state, regional, county or local environmental, health or safety statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, judgment or order; (ii) there has been a release, or there is a threat of release, of Hazardous Substances (including, without limitation, petroleum, its by-products or derivatives, or other hydrocarbons) from the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s property, facilities, equipment or vehicles; (iii) the Borrower or such Subsidiary may be or is liable, in whole or in part, for the costs or cleaning up, remediating or responding to a release of Hazardous Substances (including, without limitation, petroleum, its by-products or derivatives, or other hydrocarbons); (iv) any of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s property or assets are subject to a Lien in favor of any governmental entity for any liability, costs or damages, under any federal, state or local environmental law, rule or regulation arising from, or costs incurred by such governmental entity in response to, a release of a Hazardous Substance (including, without limitation, petroleum, its

-26-

by-products or derivatives, or other hydrocarbons), except to the extent that such violation, release, liability or Lien could not have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(b) Other Laws. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all other federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to or pertaining to the Properties or business operations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including without limitation all applicable state consumer credit and protection laws, the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Federal Truth In Lending Act, the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, laws regulating small loan companies, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990), non-compliance with which could have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Section 6.15. Full Disclosure. The financial statements referred to in Section 6.6 do not, nor do the written statements or information, if any, furnished by the Borrower to any Bank in connection with the negotiation of or its participation in this Agreement contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the material statements contained therein not misleading.

Section 6.16. No Defaults. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 10.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Section 10.1. Change of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if at any time after the date hereof any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof makes it unlawful for any Bank to make or continue to maintain Eurodollar Loans or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby, such Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, with a copy to the Agent, and such Bank’s obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under this Agreement shall terminate and shall not revive until it is no longer unlawful for such Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans. The Borrower shall prepay on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected Eurodollar Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected Eurodollar Loan from such Bank by means of a Base Rate Loan from such Bank that shall not be made ratably by the Banks but only from such affected Bank.

-43-

Section 10.2. Unavailability of Deposits or Inability to Ascertain, or Inadequacy of, LIBOR. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans:

(a) the Agent advises the Borrower that deposits in United States Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to it in the off-shore U.S. Dollar interbank market for such Interest Period, or

(b) Banks having 51% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Agent that LIBOR as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period,

then the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended.

Section 10.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after the date hereof the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:

(i) shall subject any Bank (or its Lending Office) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or its Lending Office) of the principal of or interest on its Eurodollar Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Eurodollar Loans or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Bank’s principal executive office or Lending Office is located); or

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Eurodollar Loans any such requirement included in an applicable Eurodollar Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition affecting its Eurodollar Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, by an amount deemed reasonably and in good faith by such Bank to be material, then, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the

-44-

Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction (computed commencing on the effective date of any event mentioned herein). Each Bank agrees to use its best efforts to give the Borrower notice of the occurrence of any event mentioned herein.

(b) If after the date hereof any Bank shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s capital, or on the capital of any corporation controlling such Bank, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction.

Section 10.4. Lending Offices. Each Bank may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or affiliate specified on the appropriate signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a notice to the Borrower and the Agent.

Section 10.5. Discretion of Bank as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if each Bank had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of deposits in the interbank market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to LIBOR for such Interest Period.

SECTION 11.

THE AGENT.

Section 11.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇. its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and hereby authorizes the Agent to take such action as Agent and on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Banks expressly agree that the Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of the Banks in respect of the Loan Documents, the Borrower or otherwise, and nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall result in any duties or obligations on the Agent or any of the Banks except as expressly set forth herein.

-45-

Section 11.2. Agent and Affiliates. The Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not an Agent, and the Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not an Agent hereunder and thereunder.

Section 11.3. Action by Agent. If the Agent receives from the Borrower a written notice of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, the Agent shall promptly give each of the Lenders written notice thereof. The obligations of the Agent under the Loan Documents are only those expressly set forth therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action hereunder with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Sections 9.3. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent shall instruct the Security Trustee to take such action to enforce its Lien on the Collateral and to preserve and protect the Collateral as may be directed by the Required Banks. Unless and until the Required Banks give such direction, the Agent and the Security Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Banks. In no event, however, shall the Agent or the Security Trustee be required to take any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Loan Document, and the Agent and the Security Trustee shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Banks that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Bank or the Borrower. In all cases in which the Loan Documents do not require the Agent to take specific action, the Agent shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Banks, or of any other group of Banks called for under the specific provisions of the Loan Documents, shall be binding upon all the Banks and the holders of the Obligations. The Agent shall be acting as an independent contractor hereunder and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on the Agent any fiduciary obligations to the Banks or the Borrower.

Section 11.4. Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.5. Liability of Agent. No Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder or any other Loan Document; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the

-46-

covenants or agreements of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any Loan Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Section 7, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith or of the collectibility of the Obligations or the value, worth, priority, or perfection of the Collateral or the Liens provided for by the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, request or statement (whether written or oral) or other documents believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties and, in the case of legal matters, in relying on the advice of counsel (including counsel for the Borrower). The Agent need not verify the worth or existence of the Collateral and may rely exclusively on reports of the Borrower in computing the Borrowing Base. The Agent may treat the Banks that are named herein as the holders of the Notes and the indebtedness contemplated herein.

Section 11.6. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated in whole, ratably in accordance with its outstanding Loans), indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsels’ fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss, obligation, damages, penalties, judgments, suits or liability (except such as result from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the Agent may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder.

Section 11.7. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.8. Resignation of the Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation of the Agent, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $200,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After

-47-

any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

Section 11.9. Payments. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Bank prior to the date on which such Bank is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Bank does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such payment when due and the Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Bank and, if any Bank has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, such Bank shall, on demand, pay to the Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Bank together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Bank pays such amount to the Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate (as hereinafter defined). If such amount is not received from such Bank by the Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Bank with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan, so that the Borrower will have no liability under Section 2.10 hereof with respect to such payment. “Federal Funds Rate” shall mean the rate determined by the Agent to be the average (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the rates per annum quoted to the Agent at approximately 10:00 A.M. (Chicago time) (or as soon thereafter as is practicable) on such date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day) by two or more Federal funds brokers selected by the Agent for the sale to the Agent at face value of Federal Funds in an amount equal or comparable to the principal amount owed to the Agent for which such rate is being determined hereof.

Section 11.10. Designation of Additional Agents. The Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to time to designate one or more of the Banks (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “co-agent,” “syndication agents,” “documentation agents,” “arrangers” or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Banks and their Affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.

Section 11.11. Authorization to Release or Subordinate or Limit Liens. The Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Banks to authorize the Security Trustee to (a) release any Lien covering any Collateral that is sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the relevant Collateral Documents (including a sale, transfer, or disposition permitted by the terms of Section 8.13 hereof or which has otherwise been consented to in accordance with Section 12.11 hereof), (b) release or subordinate any Lien on Collateral consisting of goods financed with purchase money indebtedness or under a Capital Lease to the extent such purchase money indebtedness or Capitalized Lease Obligation, and the Lien securing the same, are permitted by Sections 8.9, 8.10, and 8.11 hereof, and (c) reduce or limit the amount of the indebtedness secured by any particular item of Collateral to an amount not less than the estimated value thereof to the extent necessary to reduce mortgage registry, filing and similar tax.

SECTION 12.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 12.1. Withholding Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 12.1(b) hereof, each payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes on the recipient) imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is domiciled, any jurisdiction from which the Borrower makes any payment, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any such withholding is so required, the Borrower shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon, and forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Bank and the Agent free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount which that Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding not been made. If the Agent or any Bank pays any amount in respect of any such taxes, penalties or interest, the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent or such Bank for that payment on demand in the currency in which such payment was made. If the Borrower pays any such taxes, penalties or interest, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to the Bank or Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Agent if not the recipient of the original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment.

(b) U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions. Each Bank that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Agent on or before the date hereof or, if later, the date such financial institution becomes a Bank hereunder, two duly completed and signed copies of (i) either Form W-8 BEN (relating to such Bank and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Bank, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) or Form W-8 ECI (relating to all amounts to be received by such Bank, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Obligations) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or (ii) solely if such Bank is claiming exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and a certificate representing that such Bank is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code). Thereafter and from time to time, each Bank shall submit to the Borrower and the Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) and such other certificates as may be (i) requested by the Borrower in a written notice, directly or through the Agent, to such Bank and (ii) required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid or reduce United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Bank, including fees, pursuant to the Loan Documents or the Obligations. Upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, each Bank that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Borrower and the Agent a certificate to the effect that it is such a United States person.

-49-

(c) Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Bank determines, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that it is unable to submit to the Borrower or the Agent any form or certificate that such Bank is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 12.1 or that such Bank is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted or any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and Agent of such fact and the Bank shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.

Section 12.2. No Waiver of Rights. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or any Bank or on the part of the holder or holders of any Note in the exercise of any power or right shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Agent and the Banks and of the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.

Section 12.3. Non-Business Day. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment of principal falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.

Section 12.4. Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable in respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.

Section 12.5. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in certificates given pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and of the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.

Section 12.6. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and all other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Banks of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Banks with respect to the Loans, including, but not limited to, Section 2.10 and Section 10.3 hereof, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and the Notes.

Section 12.7. Sharing of Set-Off. Each Bank agrees with each other Bank a party hereto that if on or after the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 9.3 or 9.4 hereof such Bank shall receive and retain any payment, whether by set-off or application of deposit balances or otherwise (“Set-off”), on

-50-

any of the Obligations outstanding under this Agreement in excess of its ratable share of payments on all Obligations then outstanding to the Banks, then such Bank shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Banks such amount of the Obligations held by each such other Bank (or interest therein) as shall be necessary to cause such Bank to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Banks; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Bank, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, the related purchases from the other Banks shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. Each Bank’s ratable share of any such Set-off shall be determined by the proportion that the aggregate amount of Loans then due and payable to such Bank bears to the total aggregate amount of the Loans then due and payable to all the Banks.

Section 12.8. Notices. Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including cable or telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address or telecopier number set forth below, in the case of the Borrower, or on the appropriate signature page hereof, in the case of the Banks and the Agent, or such other address or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Agent and the Borrower, given by United States certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt. Notices hereunder to the Borrower shall be addressed to:

		▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇
		Attention:		Chief Financial Officer
		Telephone:		(▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇

Section 12.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties on different counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 12.10. Successors and Assigns. (a) General. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Banks and the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any Note; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of all of the Banks.

-51-

(b) Participations. Each Bank shall have the right, without the consent of the Borrower, at its own cost to grant participations in the Loans made and/or Commitments held by such Bank to one or more financial institutions at any time and from time to time; provided, however, that (i) no such participation shall relieve any Bank of any of its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the participant financial institutions shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 10.3 hereof but shall not be entitled to any greater payment under any of such Sections than the Bank granting such participation would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with this Agreement and such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such participant, that would reduce the amount of or postpone the date for payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan hereunder. The Borrower authorizes each Bank to disclose to any participant or prospective participant under this Section any financial or other information pertaining to the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

(c) Assignments. Each Bank shall have the right at any time, with the prior consent of the Agent and, except as provided below, the Borrower (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld) to sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes then held by such assigning Bank) to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions or investors, provided that, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent, such assignment shall be of a fixed percentage (and not by its terms of varying percentage) of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that in order to make any such assignment (i) unless the assigning Bank is assigning all of its Commitments and outstanding Loans, the assigning Bank shall retain at least $5,000,000 in unused Commitments and outstanding Loans, (ii) the assignee Lender shall have Commitments and outstanding Loans of at least $5,000,000, (iii) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment by a Bank to an Affiliate of such Bank or for any assignment made during the existence of any Event of Default, (iv) each such assignment shall be evidenced by a written agreement (in form and substance acceptable to the Agent) executed by such assigning Bank, such assignee Bank or Banks, the Agent and, unless not required under clause (iii) above, the Borrower, which agreement shall specify in each instance the portion of the Obligations which are to be assigned to the assignee Bank and the portion of the Commitments of the assigning Bank to be assumed by the assignee Bank, and (v) the assigning Bank shall pay to the Agent a processing fee of $3,500 in connection with any such assignment agreement. Any such assignee shall become a Bank for all purposes hereunder to the extent of the rights and obligations under the Loan Documents it assumes and the assigning Bank shall be released from its obligations, and will have released its rights, under the Loan Documents to the extent of such assignment. The address for notices to such assignee Bank shall be as specified in the assignment agreement executed by it. Promptly upon the effectiveness of any such assignment agreement, the Borrower shall execute and deliver replacement Notes to the assignee Bank and the assigning Bank in the respective amounts of their Commitments (or assigned principal amounts, as applicable) after giving effect to the reduction occasioned by such assignment (all

-52-

such Notes to constitute “Notes” for all purposes of the Loan Documents), and the assignee Bank shall thereafter surrender to the Borrower its old Notes. The Borrower authorizes each Bank to disclose to any purchaser or prospective purchaser of an interest in the Loans or its Commitments under this Section any financial or other information pertaining to the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

(d) In addition to the foregoing, any Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Bank as a party hereto; provided further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 12.11. Amendments. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Banks, and (c) if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, the Agent, as applicable; provided that:

(i) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section shall (A) increase any Commitment of any Bank without the consent of such Bank, (B) release any substantial part of the Collateral or any Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or (C) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder without the consent of the Bank to which such payment is owing or which has committed to make such Loan or other credit hereunder; and

(ii) no amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section shall, unless signed by each Bank, change the provisions of this Section, the definition of Required Banks or Termination Date, or the provisions of Section 9.4, or affect the number of Banks required to take any action hereunder.

Section 12.12. Non-Reliance on Margin Stock. Each of the Banks represents to the Agent and to each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 12.13. Fees and Indemnification. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent, in connection with the preparation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver or consent related hereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated.

(b) The Borrower further agrees to indemnify the Agent, each Bank and their Affiliates, their respective directors, officers and employees against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitations, all reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Agent or any Bank or any of their Affiliates

-53-

is a party thereto, or any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to any such litigation) which any of them may pay or incur arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the direct or indirect application or proposed application of the proceeds of any Loan hereunder, other than those which arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party claiming indemnification. The Borrower, upon demand by the Agent or a Bank at any time, shall reimburse the Agent or such Bank or its Affiliate for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except if the same is directly due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.14. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and thereto, shall be construed and determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to the internal laws thereof with respect to conflicts of law.

Section 12.15. Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

Section 12.16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and any prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.

Section 12.17. Terms of Collateral Documents not Superseded. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to permit any act or omission which is prohibited by the terms of any Collateral Document, the covenants and agreements contained herein being in addition to and not in substitution for the covenants and agreements contained in the Collateral Documents.

Section 12.18. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and of any Illinois State court sitting in the City of Chicago for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND EACH BANK HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

Section 12.19. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

-54-

Section 12.20. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall supersede all provisions of the Original Credit Agreement as of such date. From and after the Effective Date all references made to the Original Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without more, be deemed to refer to this Agreement. The Borrower heretofore executed and delivered to the Security Trustee the Company Security Agreement and certain other Collateral Documents. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Liens created and provided for by the Collateral Documents continue to secure, among other things, the Obligations arising under this Agreement; and the Collateral Documents and the rights and remedies of the Security Trustee, the Agent, and the Banks thereunder, the obligations of the Borrower thereunder, and the Liens created and provided for thereunder remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected, impaired or discharged hereby. Nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the liens and security interests created and provided for by the Collateral Documents as to the indebtedness which would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the “Credit Agreement” and “Notes” referred to in the Company Security Agreement and any of the other Collateral Documents shall from and after the date hereof be deemed a reference to this Agreement and the Notes issued hereunder.

[SIGNATURE PAGES TO FOLLOW]

-55-

Upon execution hereof by all the parties, this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement shall be a contract among the parties for the purposes hereinabove set forth.

The record thereof, whether shown on such books or records or on the schedule to this Note, shall be prima facie evidence of the same, provided, however, that the failure of the Bank to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans made to it under the Revolving Credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement together with accrued interest thereon.

This Note is one of the Notes referred to in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 20, 2005, among the Borrower, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇., as Agent, and others (such Credit Agreement as the same may from time to time be amended being referred to as the “Credit Agreement”) and payment hereof is secured by the Loan Documents, and this Note and the holder hereof are entitled to all the benefits provided for thereby or referred to therein, to which Credit Agreement and Loan Documents reference is hereby made for a statement thereof. All defined terms used in this Note, except terms otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meaning as in the Credit Agreement. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.

Prepayments may be made hereon, certain prepayments are required to be made hereon and this Note may be declared due prior to the expressed maturity hereof, all in the events, on the terms and in the manner as provided for in the Credit Agreement and Collateral Documents.

The Borrower hereby waives demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind hereunder.

SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO SUBORDINATED DEBT

The indebtedness evidenced by the subordinated notes or related thereto and any renewals or extensions thereof (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) shall at all times be wholly subordinate and junior in right of payment to any and all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries under the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Notes issued from time to time under or pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, and the Company Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Security Agreement as each relates to the Notes issued from time to time under or pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Senior Indebtedness”) in the manner and with the force and effect hereinafter set forth:

1. So long as any Senior Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and unpaid, no payment either of principal, interest or premium (notwithstanding the expressed maturity or any time for the payment of principal of, interest or premium on any Subordinated Indebtedness) shall be made on Subordinated Indebtedness except with the prior written consent of all of the holders of the Notes and the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness will take no steps, whether by suit or otherwise to compel or enforce the collection of Subordinated Indebtedness, nor will the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness use Subordinated Indebtedness by way of counterclaim, setoff, recoupment or otherwise so as to diminish, discharge or otherwise satisfy in whole or in part any indebtedness or liability of the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Company, whether now existing or hereafter arising and howsoever evidenced, provided, however, that the Company may pay interest on Subordinated Indebtedness accrued to and payable on the date of any such payment so long as (i) the Company shall not be in default in the payment of principal of, interest or premium on Senior Indebtedness, (ii) the Company has not received written notice from any holder of the Senior Indebtedness that some other default has occurred and is continuing under any promissory note or agreement pertaining to Senior Indebtedness or any collateral security therefor, and (iii) none of the events hereinafter set forth in paragraph numbered 2 hereof has occurred.

2. In the event of any distribution, dividend, or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of the Company or of the proceeds thereof to the creditors of the Company or upon any indebtedness of the Company, occurring by reason of the liquidation, dissolution, or other winding up of the Company, or by reason of any execution sale, or bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, liquidation or foreclosure proceeding of or for the Company or involving its property, no dividend, payment, distribution or application shall be made, and the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall not be entitled to receive or retain any payment, dividend, distribution, or application on or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, unless and until all of the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding shall have been paid and satisfied in full, and in any such event any dividend, payment, distribution or application otherwise payable in respect of Subordinated Indebtedness shall be paid and applied on Senior Indebtedness until such Senior Indebtedness has been fully paid and satisfied.

3. The holders of Senior Indebtedness need not at any time give the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness notice of any kind of the creation or existence of any Senior Indebtedness, nor of the amount or terms thereof, all such notice being hereby expressly waived. Also, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may at any time from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the holders of Subordinated Indebtedness, without incurring responsibility to the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and without impairing or releasing the obligation of the undersigned under this agreement (i) renew, refund or extend the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness, or any part thereof, or otherwise revise, amend or alter the terms and conditions thereof, (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property by whomsoever at any time pledged, mortgaged or otherwise hypothecated or subjected to a lien to secure any Senior Indebtedness, and (iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and others, including the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

4. The holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness will not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any Subordinated Indebtedness, or any part thereof, except subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof and upon the agreement of the transferee or assignee to abide by and be bound by the terms hereof.

5. The holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness undertake and agree for the benefit of each holder of Senior Indebtedness to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim which any holder of Senior Indebtedness may at any time require in order to prove and realize upon any rights or claims pertaining to the Subordinated Indebtedness to effectuate the full benefit of the subordination contained herein; and upon failure of the holder of any Subordinated Indebtedness so to do, any such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the holder of such Subordinated Indebtedness to execute, verify, deliver and file any such proofs of claim.

6. No right of any holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time or in any way be affected or impaired by any failure to act on the part of the Company or the holders of Senior Indebtedness, or by any noncompliance by the Company with any of the terms, provisions and covenants applicable to the Subordinated Indebtedness, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder of Senior Indebtedness may have or be otherwise charged with.

7. The Company agrees, for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, that in the event that any Subordinated Indebtedness is declared due and payable before its expressed maturity because of the occurrence of a default hereunder, (i) the Company will give prompt notice in writing of such happening to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and (ii) all Senior Indebtedness shall forthwith become immediately due and payable upon demand, regardless of the expressed maturity thereof.

8. These subordination provisions shall be continuing and binding until written notice of its discontinuance shall be actually received by the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and also shall continue to remain in full force and effect until all Senior Indebtedness created or existing prior to the receipt of such notice shall have been fully paid and satisfied.
