CREDIT FACILITIES

Section 2.01.          Revolving Credit Loans. During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, each of the Lenders severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time until the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that (a) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the outstanding LC Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Credit Maximum Borrowing Amount, and (b) with regard to each Lender, the sum of (i) the unpaid aggregate principal balances of Revolving Credit Loans held by such Lender, and (ii) such Lender’s LC Commitment of outstanding LC Obligations, shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.  The Borrower shall not request any advances of proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans which would cause the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans to exceed the above-stated limitations.  In the event that the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans exceed the above-stated limitations, the Borrower shall immediately make such payments to the Agent as will be sufficient to reduce the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans to an aggregate amount which will not be in excess of such limitations.  Each Revolving Credit Loan extended by a Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to the Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans requested on such occasion.  Subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the other Credit Documents, the Borrower may borrow, prepay, and reborrow the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part until the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Revolving Credit Loans may consist of Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings or LIBOR Borrowings, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.01.1      Revolving Credit Loan Promissory Notes.  The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Credit Loans to each Lender shall be evidenced by a Revolving Credit Note.  The Borrower shall deliver a Revolving Credit Note on the date of Closing to each of the Lenders executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, with the face amount of each of such Revolving Credit Notes to be in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the respective Lender.

2.01.2      Procedure For Revolving Credit Loan Borrowings.  The Borrower may borrow proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans until (but not including) the Revolving Credit Termination Date, provided, that the Borrower delivers to the Agent an irrevocable notice (“Loan Request”) from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (which Loan Request must be received by the Agent prior to 10:00 a.m.) (a) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested advances of proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially LIBOR Borrowings, or (b) on the requested Borrowing Date if all of the requested advances of proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings.  Each Loan Request shall specify: (i) the aggregate amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) whether the borrowing is to be a LIBOR Borrowing, an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing, or a combination thereof, and (iv) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly a LIBOR Borrowing, the information required to be specified in the election described in Section 2.05.2(a) of this Agreement.  The Loan Requests may be delivered to the Agent via facsimile or by other electronic transmission or by telephonic request, it being agreed that the Agent may rely on the authority of the Person making any such request without receipt of any other confirmation.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Agent’s receipt of each notice and the contents thereof.  Each Lender shall make the amount of its pro rata share (calculated in accordance with its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage) of each requested borrowing available to the Agent for the account of the Borrower at the offices of the Agent specified in this Agreement prior to 12:00 Noon on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and in funds immediately available to the Agent.  Such borrowing will be made available to the Borrower on or prior to 1:00 p.m. by the Agent crediting the Borrower’s depository account maintained by the Agent with the aggregate of

24

the amounts made available to the Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Agent to an account maintained by the Borrower with the Agent.

2.01.3      Repayment Of Revolving Credit Loans.  The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of the Lenders on or before the Revolving Credit Termination Date (or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable as required by the stated provisions of this Agreement). The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders all interest which has accrued upon the unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans from time to time outstanding from the date of Closing until the date of payment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans at the rates per annum and on the dates set forth in Section 2.04 of this Agreement.  All sums due to the Lenders in connection with the Revolving Credit Loans shall be paid in full on or before the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

2.01.4      Permitted Purposes Of Revolving Credit Loans.  The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be used by the Borrower solely for the general working capital needs and for the general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

The Revolving Credit Unused Fee shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each succeeding Fiscal Quarter with the first of such payments to be scheduled for payment on May 1, 2010.

2.01.6      Permanent Reduction Of Revolving Credit Maximum Borrowing Amount.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent, to permanently reduce, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Credit Maximum Borrowing Amount, provided that (a) each reduction shall be in an amount of not less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or, if greater, a multiple of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), and (b) no reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, and to any repayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the aggregate principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans then unpaid and outstanding plus the aggregate amount of LC Obligations outstanding would exceed the Revolving Credit Maximum Borrowing Amount then in effect.

25

2.01.7      Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments.

(a)           Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no continuing Default or Event of Default, upon notice to each of the Credit Parties, the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00); provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of three (3) such requests.  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).

(b)           Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Lender shall notify the Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such requested increase.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

(c)           Notification by Agent; Additional Lenders.  The Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Agent and the Issuing Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel.

(d)           Effective Date and Allocations.  If the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(e)           Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Authorized Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans held by each Lender ratable with any revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section.

(f)            Conflicting Provisions.  This Section 2.01.7 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.06.3 or 10.03 to the contrary.

2.02.5.         Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations Are Absolute.  The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or has had against the Agent, the Issuing Lender, any of the Lenders, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.  The Borrower agrees that none of the Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the Lenders shall be responsible for, nor shall the Borrower’s duties and obligations hereunder or under the Credit Documents be affected by, among other things (a) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any documents or of any endorsements thereon presented in connection with any draft upon a Letter of Credit, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, (b) any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, or (c) any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.  None of the Agent, the Issuing Lender, or any of the Lenders shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with the issuance, administration, or payment of any drafts presented against any Letter of Credit.  The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the Lenders under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of any of the Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the Lenders to the Borrower, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

2.02.6.         Applicability of ISP98.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

2.02.7.         Interim Interest.  If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including

28

the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement at the Adjusted Base Rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans; provided that the Default Rate shall apply during any continuing Event of Default.  Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.02.3 to purchase a participation from the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such purchasing Lender to the extent of such payment.

2.02.8.         Cash Collateralization.  Upon the request of the Agent (a) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an LC Borrowing (unless such LC Borrowing has been reimbursed by the proceeds of a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with Section 2.02.4), or (b) if, as of the LC Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (c) a continuing Event of Default exists and the Loans have been accelerated and have become due and payable in accordance with Section 8.01 of this Agreement, the Borrower shall immediately “Cash Collateralize” all then outstanding LC Obligations (in an amount determined as of the date of such LC Borrowing or the LC Expiration Date or the date of acceleration of the Loans, as the case may be).  As used herein, the term “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, as collateral (“Cash Collateral”) for the LC Obligations, cash or deposit account balances in accordance with documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders).  The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, a security interest in all of such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing.  Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts held by the Agent.

2.02.9.         Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable accounts of the Lenders, a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on the aggregate daily Stated Amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit at the rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans LIBOR Borrowings in effect from time to time, provided, that upon the implementation of the Default Rate and for so long as the same shall continue, the Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased to the Default Rate.  Letter of Credit Fees shall be payable (a) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter occurring during the term of this Agreement, and (b) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or any other date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the sole account of the Issuing Lender, a fronting fee of 0.125% of the Stated Amount on any new or extended Letters of Credit, plus such customary issuance, presentation, amendment and processing fees and all standard costs or charges of the Issuing Lender relating to letters of credit, as from time to time in effect.  Such fees and costs and charges shall be due and payable on demand and shall be nonrefundable.

2.02.10.       Letters of Credit Issued for Other Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of another Loan Party or a Subsidiary of the Borrower or of another Loan Party, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the accounts of other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries of the Borrower and any other Loan Party inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries.

2.02.11.       Increased Costs.  To the extent that after the Closing Date any Governmental Authority imposes any condition or requirement upon the Issuing Lender regarding the Letters of Credit and if the result of such condition or requirement is to directly or indirectly increase the cost to the Issuing Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the effective yield to the Issuing Lender of the amount receivable in respect thereof, then the Issuing Lender may any time after the additional cost is incurred or the yield of the amount receivable is reduced, notify the Borrower and

29

the Agent, and the Borrower shall pay within ten (10) Business Days after demand such amounts as the Issuing Lender may specify to be necessary to compensate the Issuing Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of the notice of such event which results in such increased cost or reduction in amount receivable until payment in full thereof at a rate equal at all times to the Adjusted Base Rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans.  The determination by the Issuing Lender of any amount due hereunder as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding.

Section 2.03.          Term Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to extend a term loan (each such term loan, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower in the initially stated principal amount of each Lender’s respective Term Loan Commitment.   The Term Loans may be either Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings, or LIBOR Borrowings, or a combination thereof.

2.03.1.         Term Loan Notes.  The obligations of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans to each of the Lenders shall be evidenced by a Term Loan Note to be issued to each Lender in the stated principal amount of each Lender’s respective Term Loan Commitment.

2.03.2.         Payment.  The aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Term Loans shall be paid to the Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders in consecutive quarterly installments each in the amount of Three Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,750,000.00) payable on each of the Principal Payment Dates.   All remaining unpaid balances of the Term Loans, including all unpaid principal, unpaid and accrued interest and fees, shall be paid in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.  The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay interest to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders on the unpaid principal balances of the Term Loans from time to time outstanding from the date of Closing until the date of the payment in full of the Term Loans at the rates per annum, and on the dates set forth in Section 2.04 of this Agreement.

2.03.3.         Mandatory Prepayments.  The Borrower shall have the obligation to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders the following (collectively, “Mandatory Prepayments”):

(a)           Extraordinary Receipts.  The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent the Net Available Proceeds of any Extraordinary Receipts within five (5) Business Days of the receipt thereof by any Loan Party; provided, that, at the option of the Borrower and as long as no Default of Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would be caused thereby, Net Available Proceeds from Extraordinary Receipts (other than from proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for borrowed money or Equity Issuances) in an aggregate amount not exceeding Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (i.e., when aggregated with all other Net Available Proceeds not paid to the Agent as a Mandatory Prepayment) shall not be required to be paid to the Agent as a Mandatory Prepayment so long as an Authorized Officer of the Borrower delivers a certificate to the Agent within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of the Net Available Proceeds stating that the applicable Loan Party intends to use the Net Available Proceeds from the Extraordinary Receipts (the “Reinvestable Proceeds”) to purchase assets to be used by such Loan Party in its business (the “Qualified Assets”) within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of such proceeds and setting forth the estimated cost of the Qualified Assets.  After such election to use the Reinvestable Proceeds, on the date which occurs one hundred eighty (180) days after the receipt of the applicable Net Available Proceeds, the Borrower shall (i) deliver a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the Agent certifying as to the amount and use of such Reinvestable Proceeds actually used to purchase Qualified Assets, and (ii) deliver to the Agent for application in accordance with this Section 2.03.3, an amount equal to the remaining unused Reinvestable Proceeds.  The provisions of this Section 2.03.3(a) shall not be deemed a waiver of or constitute the implied consent of the Credit Parties to any transactions which are either prohibited by the terms of the Credit Documents or which by the terms of any of the Credit Documents require the prior consent of any or all of the Credit Parties.

30

(b)           Consolidated Excess Cash Flow Recapture.  Commencing for the Borrower’s Fiscal Year ending October 31, 2010, the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent for the account of the Lenders on or before each January 31st of each successive Fiscal Year an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Consolidated Excess Cash Flow achieved by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the immediately ended Fiscal Year; provided, however, the amount required to be paid for the Fiscal Year ending October 31, 2010 shall be prorated based on the portion of such Fiscal Year between the Funding Date and October 31, 2010.  The amount of any Mandatory Prepayments due from the Consolidated Excess Cash Flow in any Fiscal Year shall be reduced by the amount of any voluntary prepayments made by the Borrower or by any other Loan Party in accordance with Section 2.03.4 of this Agreement.

(c)           Application Of Mandatory Prepayments.  The Mandatory Prepayments shall be applied first to the unpaid balances of the Term Loans, secondly to the unpaid balances of the Revolving Credit Loans, and thirdly to any other unpaid Obligations.  Mandatory Prepayments made upon the Term Loans shall be applied in the inverse order of scheduled maturities.

2.03.4.         Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay the Term Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Borrowings, and (ii) on the date of prepayment of Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings; and (b) any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans shall be in a principal amount of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00).  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and, if LIBOR Borrowings are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such LIBOR Borrowings.  The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Term Loan Commitment Percentage of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.04.2(b)(iii).  Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Term Loans in accordance with the Term Loan Commitment Percentages of the Lender.

Section 2.04.          Interest Terms Applicable To The Loans.  Interest shall accrue upon the unpaid principal balances of the Loans until the Loans have been repaid in full at the rate or rates described below in this Section 2.04.  Interest shall be paid in arrears on the applicable Interest Payment Dates.

2.04.1.         Adjusted Base Rate.  Absent a timely election by the Borrower of a LIBOR Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04.2 of this Agreement, the unpaid balances of the Loans, including any balances of any LIBOR Borrowings for which the applicable Interest Period has expired, shall be deemed automatically to bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate.  Changes in the Adjusted Base Rate shall be made when and as changes in the Base Rate occur.  Each election by the Borrower of an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing shall be in the Minimum Borrowing Amount, or any multiple thereof.

2.04.2.         LIBOR Borrowing Option.  Subject to the terms of this Section, interest may accrue at the election of the Borrower for Interest Periods selected by the Borrower, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate on portions of the unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans.  Any election for a LIBOR Borrowing shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)           Notice Of Election.  An Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall deliver by 10:00 a.m. on that Business Day which occurs two (2) Business Days prior to the Business Day on which the Borrower desires that an Interest Period commence, a written election to the Agent specifying: (i) the commencement date of and length of the relevant Interest Period, (ii) a statement as to whether the LIBOR Borrowing is to be applicable to the Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Loans, and (iii) the

31

Dollar amount of that portion of the total aggregate principal amount of the Loans identified by the Borrower, which are to bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, which amount: (A) shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount; and (B) if elected with respect to the Term Loans shall not be in a principal amount greater than that sum obtained by deducting the aggregate amount of principal payments upon the Term Loans which are scheduled for payment on Principal Payment Dates occurring prior to the end of the subject Interest Period from the aggregate unpaid principal balances of the Term Loans.

(b)           Effect Of Election.  Interest shall accrue from and including the first day of each Interest Period selected by the Borrower to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate determined as applicable to such Interest Period upon the amount of the unpaid principal balances of the Loans identified by the Borrower in the Borrower’s written election.

(i)            Interest Periods.  There shall be no more than eight (8) Interest Periods outstanding at any one time.  No Interest Period may expire after the Maturity Date.

(ii)           Availability.  If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing: (A) the Agent is advised that the Required Lenders have determined that a Regulatory Change or a change in market conditions has made it impractical for the Lenders to offer pricing based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate; or (B) the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period; or (C) the Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining the proposed LIBOR Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any request to convert any borrowing to, or continue any borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) any requested LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Base Rate.

(iii)          Breakage Costs.  The Borrower agrees to compensate the Lenders from time to time, upon demand from any Lender through the Agent, for all losses, expenses, lost earnings, costs and liabilities (including all interest paid to lenders of funds borrowed by the Lenders to carry LIBOR Borrowings) which any of the Lenders sustains if: (A) any repayment or prepayment of any LIBOR Borrowings (including any payment resulting from the acceleration of the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any conversion of a LIBOR Borrowing for any reason occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period; or (B) any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Borrowing or convert an Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing to a LIBOR Borrowing on the date for such borrowing or conversion specified in the relevant notice of election given by the Borrower to the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Borrowing made by it at the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR Borrowing by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Borrowing was in fact so funded.

(iv)          Termination Of Right To Elect LIBOR Borrowings.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Required Lenders during any continuing Default or Event of Default may suspend the right of the Borrower to elect any new LIBOR Borrowing or to convert any Adjusted Base Rate Borrowing into a LIBOR Borrowing or to permit any LIBOR Borrowing to be renewed as a LIBOR Borrowing, in which case all LIBOR Borrowings shall be converted (on the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or continued, as the case may be, as Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings.

32

2.04.3.         Calculation Of Interest.  Interest shall be calculated upon Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings on the basis of a 365 or 366 days per year factor applied to the actual days on which there exists an unpaid balance of the Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings.  Interest shall be calculated upon LIBOR Borrowing on the basis of a 360 day per year factor applied to the actual days on which there exists an unpaid balance of the LIBOR Borrowing.

2.04.4.         Default Interest.  The interest rates payable upon the Loans may be increased to the Default Rate during any continuing Event of Default upon the election of the Required Lenders until the Event of Default has been cured to the satisfaction of the Required Lenders or waived by the Agent upon the authorization of the Required Lenders.

2.04.5.         Maximum Rate Of Interest.  Any provision contained in the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lenders shall not be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall the Borrower be obligated to pay, interest, fees, or charges thereunder in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by any applicable Law, and if any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Credit Documents is construed or held by any court of law or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to permit or require the charging, collection or payment of any amount of interest in excess of that permitted by such Laws, the provisions of this Section shall control and shall override any contrary or inconsistent provision.  The intention of the parties is to at all times conform strictly with all applicable usury requirements and other Laws limiting the maximum rates of interest which may be lawfully charged upon the Loans.  The interest to be paid pursuant to the Notes shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury or other Laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and any sums of money paid in excess of the interest rate allowed by applicable law shall be applied in reduction of the principal amount owing pursuant to the Notes.

Section 2.05.          Late Payment Charges.  Any payment of principal, interest or fees due upon any of the Loans (including any final payment) which is received by the Agent more than fifteen (15) calendar days after its due date shall incur a late payment charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount of the payment due, which charge shall be immediately due and payable.  The existence of the right by the Lenders to receive a late payment charge shall not be deemed to constitute a grace period or provide any right to the Borrower to make a payment other than on such payment’s scheduled due date.

Section 2.06.          Pro Rata Treatment And Payments.

2.06.1.         Distribution Of Payments To Lenders.  Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary by the terms of this Agreement, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon on the due date thereof to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders at the Agent’s offices in Buffalo, New York in immediately available Dollars.  The Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender by wire transfer such Lender’s pro rata share of each of such payments in like funds as received.  The Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payments on the applicable date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or to the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payments, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry customs and rules on interbank compensation.

2.06.2.         Funding Of Loans.  The Lenders agree that the Agent may assume that each Lender will fund timely its pro rata portion of each borrowing requested by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,

33

make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (a) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry customs and rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (b) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Adjusted Base Rate Borrowings.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such share included in the subject borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

2.06.3.         Ratable Sharing.  Each borrowing by the Borrower shall be made ratably from the Lenders in accordance with their applicable respective Commitment Percentages.  Any reduction in the Revolving Credit Maximum Borrowing Amount shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal and interest on the Loans shall be shared pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective balances of the Loans which are being paid.

2.06.4.         Setoffs, Counterclaims, Other Payments.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in LC Obligations held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value in Dollars) participations in the Loans and participations in the LC Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i)            if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)           the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.07.        Application Of Payments.  Except as expressly required to the contrary by the terms of this Agreement, all payments received upon the Loans may be applied first to Credit Party

34

Expenses, next to late payment charges, then to accrued interest and the unpaid principal balances of the Loans, or in such other order as elected by the Required Lenders.

Section 2.08.                             Increased Costs.

2.08.1.         Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change In Law shall:

(a)     impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Lender;

(b)     subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Borrowing made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.09 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Taxes payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender); or

(c)     impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London Interbank Market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any LIBOR Borrowing made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Borrowing (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

2.08.2.         Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

2.08.3.         Certificate for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section 2.08 and delivered to the Borrower

35

shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

2.08.4.         Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section or Section 2.02.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

Section 2.09.          Taxes.

2.09.1.         Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (c) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

2.09.2.         Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.09.1 above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

2.09.3.         Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.09.4.         Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

2.09.5.         Status of Lenders.  Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or

36

times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(a)       duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(b)       duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(c)       in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(d)       any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

2.09.6.         Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any Credit Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Credit Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Credit Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Credit Party in the event that such Credit Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require such Credit Party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.10.          Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

2.10.1.         Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.08, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or

37

any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.09, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.08 and 2.09, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.10.2.         Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Sections 2.08 or 2.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Sections 2.08 or 2.09, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any terms of the Credit Documents as contemplated by Section 10.03, the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained but the consent of a Lender whose consent is required shall not have been obtained, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require any of such Lenders to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.08), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)           the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.08;

(b)           such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c)           in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.08 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.09, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d)           such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.11.        Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to M&T Bank for M&T Bank’s own account such fees as are required by the terms of the Fee Letter.

Section 2.12.        Payments.  All payments received by the Credit Parties which are to be applied to reduce the Obligations shall be provisional and shall not be considered final unless and until such payment is not subject to avoidance under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, including Sections 547 and 550, or any state law governing insolvency or creditors’ rights.  If any payment is avoided or set aside under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 547 and 550, or any state law governing insolvency or creditors’ rights, the payment shall be considered not to have been

38

made for all purposes of this Agreement and the Credit Parties shall adjust their respective records to reflect the fact that the avoided payment was not made and has not been credited against the Obligations.

Section 2.13.        Advancements.  If the Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to perform any of its respective agreements or covenants contained in the Credit Documents or if the Borrower or any other Loan Party fails to protect or preserve the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or the status and priority of the Liens of the Credit Parties in the Collateral or in any other security for the Obligations and such failure shall remain uncured for three (3) Business Days after the Agent shall have notified the Borrower thereof, the Agent for the account of the Lenders may make advances to perform the same on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party to protect or preserve the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or the status and priority of the Liens of the Credit Parties in the Collateral or in any other security for the Obligations, and all sums so advanced shall immediately upon such advance become secured by the Liens granted in the Credit Documents and any other security for the Obligations, and shall become part of the principal amount owed to the Lenders with interest to be assessed at the Default Rate.  The Borrower shall repay on demand all sums so advanced on the Borrower’s behalf, plus all expenses or costs incurred by the Agent, on account of the Lenders, including reasonable legal fees, with interest thereon.  The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to prevent the institution of the rights and remedies of the Agent upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.  The authorization contained in this Section is not intended to impose any duty or obligation on the Agent or any other Credit Party to perform any action or make any advancement on behalf of the Borrower and is intended to be for the sole benefit and protection of the Credit Parties.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Credit Parties as of the Closing Date and, as of each date on which any Revolving Credit Loan is requested or made or any Letter of Credit is requested or issued (for purposes hereof, each extension or other amendment of a Letter of Credit shall constitute an issuance thereof), and as of each date on which any Loan or portion of a Loan is converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing:

Section 3.04.          Power and Authority.  Each of the Loan Parties has the full power to enter into, execute, deliver, carry out and perform this Agreement and the Credit Documents to which it is a party, to incur the Indebtedness contemplated by the Credit Documents and to perform its respective obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is a party and all of such actions have been duly authorized in each instance by all necessary corporate proceedings.

Section 3.05.          Validity and Binding Effect.  This Agreement has been, and each Credit Document, when executed and delivered by the respective Loan Parties, will have been, duly and validly executed and delivered by the Loan Parties which are signatories thereto.  This Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents executed and delivered by the respective Loan Parties will, upon such execution and delivery, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Parties, enforceable against the respective Loan Parties in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and to the effect of general principles of equity whether applied by a court of law or equity.

Section 3.06.          No Conflict.  Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Agreement nor the execution and delivery by any other Loan Party of any Credit Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof by the Borrower or the other Loan Parties will (a) conflict with, constitute a default under or result in any breach of (i) the terms and conditions of the Organization Documents of any Loan Party or (ii) any Law or any agreement or instrument or order, writ, judgment, injunction or decree to which any Loan Party is a party or by which it is bound or to which it is subject, which conflict, default or breach would cause a Material Adverse Change, or (b) result in the creation or enforcement of any Lien upon any property (now or hereafter acquired) of any of the Loan Parties (other than Liens securing the Obligations and the Permitted Encumbrances).

Section 3.07.          Litigation.  Except as otherwise set forth in the Borrower’s Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year ending October 31, 2009, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary, at law or in equity, before any Governmental Authority which individually or in the aggregate, could be reasonably expected to result in any Material Adverse Change; and no Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary is in violation of any order, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Change.

Section 3.08.          Financial Statements; Financial Projections.

3.08.1.         Financial Statements.  The Borrower has previously delivered to the Agent correct and complete copies of the audited consolidated balance sheets and statements of income,

40

retained earnings and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of and for its Fiscal Year ended October 31, 2009, including the footnotes thereto.  Such financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at the end of the periods covered thereby and the results of the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ operations and the changes in the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial positions for the periods covered thereby, and were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered thereby subject.

3.08.2.         Books and Records. (a)  The books of account and other financial records of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the Closing Date are correct and complete in all material respects, represent actual, bona fide transactions and have been maintained in accordance with sound business and accounting practices; and (b) as of the Closing Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls and do not engage in or maintain any off-the-books accounts or transactions.

3.08.3.         Absence of Material Liability.  As of the Closing Date, except with respect to the Acquisition, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries have any material liabilities of any kind, whether direct or indirect, fixed or contingent or otherwise which is not disclosed upon the consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which have been provided to the Credit Parties; other than executory obligations under contracts, leases, or other agreements which GAAP would not require to be set forth in the consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

3.08.4.         Financial Projections.  The Borrower has delivered to the Credit Parties financial projections of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the period commencing November 1, 2010 and ending October 31, 2012.  Such projections set forth in the judgment of the Borrower a reasonable range of possible results in light of the history of the businesses of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and present reasonably foreseeable conditions and the intentions of the management of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.  In the reasonable judgment of the Borrower, such projections accurately reflect the liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  No events have occurred since the preparation of the projections which would cause the projections, taken as a whole, not to be reasonably attainable; provided, however, that such projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Borrower’s control, that no assurances can be given that any such projections will be realized and that actual results may differ from any such projections and such differences may be material.

Section 3.09.          Margin Stock.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries engages or intends to engage principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of incurring Indebtedness or extending credit to others for the purpose, immediately, incidentally or ultimately, of purchasing or carrying “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Federal Reserve Board).  No part of the proceeds of any Loan or other extension of credit hereunder has been or will be used, to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or to refund or retire Indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose.  As of the Closing Date neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries intends to hold any margin stock.

Section 3.10.          Full Disclosure.  Neither this Agreement nor any Credit Document, nor any certificate, statement, agreement or other document furnished to the Credit Parties in writing by the Loan Parties, contains any misstatement of a material fact or, taken as a whole, omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  As of the Closing Date, there is no fact known to the Borrower which materially adversely affects the business, property, assets, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which has not been set

41

forth in this Agreement or the Credit Documents or in the certificates, statements, agreements or other documents furnished in writing to the Credit Parties before or at the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 3.11.          Tax Returns and Payments.  All federal and state tax returns that are required by applicable Law to be filed by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, which are material to the conduct of their business, have been filed or properly extended.  All taxes, assessments and other governmental charges levied upon the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties, assets, income or franchises which are due and payable have been paid in full other than (a) those presently payable without penalty or interest, (b) those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, and (c) those which, if not paid, would not, in the aggregate, constitute a Material Adverse Change; and as to each of items (a), (b) and (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have established reserves for such claims as have been determined to be adequate by application of GAAP consistently applied.  There are no agreements or waivers extending the statutory period of limitations applicable to any consolidated federal income tax return of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for any period.

Section 3.12.          Consents and Approvals.  No consent, approval, exemption, order or authorization of, or a registration or filing with any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required by any Law or any agreement (other than the Credit Documents) in connection with the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Agreement and the Credit Documents to which any Loan Party is a party.

Section 3.13.          No Event of Default; Compliance with Instruments.  No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists or will exist after giving effect to the Loans which constitutes an Event of Default or a Default. No Loan Party or Subsidiary of a Loan Party is in material violation of any term of its Organization Documents.

Section 3.14.          Compliance with Laws.  Each of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws in all jurisdictions in which any of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries are presently doing business, the non-compliance with which could reasonably be likely to be, or result in, a Material Adverse Change.

Section 3.15.          ERISA Compliance.

3.15.1.         Plans and Contributions.  Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state Laws.  Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.  The Loan Parties and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.

3.15.2.         Pending Claims.  There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.  There has been no Prohibited Transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

3.15.3.         ERISA Events.  (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, (b) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability, (c) no Loan Party and no ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with

42

respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA), (d) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan, and (e) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be reasonably subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

Section 3.16.          Title to Properties.  The Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries have good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all their respective real and personal property material to the conduct of their businesses, taken as a whole.

Section 3.17.          Insurance.  There are in full force and effect for the benefit of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries insurance policies and bonds providing adequate coverage from reputable and financially sound insurers in amounts sufficient to insure the assets and risks of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in accordance with prudent business practices in the respective industries of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries.  As of the Closing Date, and, as of each subsequent reaffirmation of this representation and warranty, except as otherwise previously disclosed in writing to the Agent, no notice has been given or claim made and to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no grounds exist, to cancel or void any of such policies or bonds or to reduce the coverage provided thereby.

Section 3.18.          Employment Matters.  Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of a Loan Party is in material compliance with all employee benefit plans, employment agreements, collective bargaining agreements and labor contracts and all applicable Laws thereto.  There are no outstanding grievances, arbitration awards or appeals relating to any of the foregoing plans, agreements or contracts, or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened strikes, picketing, handbilling or other work stoppages or slowdowns at facilities of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party which could reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Change.  All payments due or to become due from any Loan Party or the Subsidiary of the Loan Party on account of obligations in respect of employee health and welfare insurance which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change if not paid have been paid or, in the case of such amounts not yet due, have been recorded as liabilities on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

Section 3.19.          Solvency.  As of the Closing Date, and as of the date of each advance of the proceeds of any Loan and each issuance or renewal of any Letter of Credit, as the case may be, and after giving effect to such advances or issuances or renewals, each of the Loan Parties and each Subsidiary of a Loan Party, taken as a whole is, and will remain, Solvent.

Section 3.20.          Material Contracts; Burdensome Restrictions.  Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 3.20, as of the Closing Date, all contracts required to be filed by the Borrower with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Item 1.01 of Form 8K relating to the business operations of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, are valid, binding and enforceable upon the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and to the knowledge of the Borrower, the other parties thereto, without any material defaults thereunder.

Section 3.21.          Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses, Etc.  Each Loan Party owns or possesses all the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, registrations, franchises, permits and rights which are materially necessary to own and operate its assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and the Borrower has no knowledge that any such intellectual property materially infringes upon the valid and enforceable rights of any other Persons.

Section 3.22.          Liens.  The Liens in the Collateral granted to the Credit Parties pursuant to the Credit Documents constitute and will continue to constitute valid and enforceable Liens under all applicable Laws, having the priority required herein and in the other Credit Documents, and are entitled to

all the rights, benefits and priorities provided by applicable Law.  All filing fees and other expenses in connection with each such action have been or will be paid by the Borrower.

Section 3.23.          Environmental Compliance.  The Borrower’s and the other Loan Parties’ businesses, operations and Properties, are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and neither the Borrower nor any Loan Party has any Environmental Liabilities, taken as a whole, which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

Section 3.24.          Anti-Terrorism Laws.  The making and funding of the Loans, the Borrower’s use of the proceeds thereof, the issuance of the Letters of Credit hereunder and the use thereof will not violate the Act or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and shall not be in violation of any federal statute or Presidential Executive Order, including Executive Order 13224 66 Fed.

Section 9.02.          Exculpatory Provisions.

9.02.1.         No Fiduciary, Discretionary or Implied Duties.  The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

9.02.3.         Knowledge.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or Material Adverse Change unless and until written notice describing such Default, Event of Default or Material Adverse Change is given to the Agent by a Credit Party or by a Loan Party.

9.02.4.         No Duty to Inquire.  The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein

Section 9.03.          Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.04.          Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Section 9.05.          Resignation of Agent.  The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Credit Parties and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the State of Maryland.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders and Issuing Lender that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its

56

sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

Section 9.06.          Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.07.          Agent May Hold Collateral For Lenders and Others.  The Lenders, Issuing Lender and the Loan Parties acknowledge that any Security Documents relating to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Obligations, or the Collateral, including all of such documents filed in the public records in order to evidence or perfect the Liens and security interests granted in the Credit Documents, may name only the Agent, as agent for the Lenders (including, but not limited to, the Issuing Lender) as the secured party, mortgagee, beneficiary, or as lienholder.  The Lenders (including, but not limited to, the Issuing Lender) and the Loan Parties authorize the Agent to hold any or all of the above-described security interests and Liens in and to the Collateral as the agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.

Section 9.08.          The Agent In Its Individual Capacity.  The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, including the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.  All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to any funding or issuance mechanics if such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.  Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (a) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the

Section 10.02.        Course of Conduct.  No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of any Credit Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless such waiver is made in accordance with Section 10.03 of this Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No waiver or indulgence by any of the Credit Parties shall constitute a future waiver of performance or exact performance by any of the Loan Parties.  No amendment or waiver shall be effective unless in writing.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the advance of proceeds of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or an Event of Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time of such advance or issuance.

Section 10.03.        Waivers and Amendments. Except as expressly set forth herein, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or of any of the other Credit Documents may be amended or waived by the Required Lenders on behalf of the Lenders, and any consent may be given by the Required Lenders on behalf of the Lenders; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall (a) without the prior written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (i) increase or decrease the principal amount of any Loans or of any Commitments of any Lender, (ii) extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Term Loan Maturity Date or the LC Expiration Date, (iii) change any Commitment Percentage of any such Lender, (iv) change Sections 2.06 or 8.05 or any other provision relating specifically to the sharing of any prepayments or payments of Loans to the Lenders in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, (v) postpone the originally scheduled time or times of payment of the principal of any of the Loans, the time or times of payment of interest or of any fees on account of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit or LC Obligations, or the time or times of payment of any of the reimbursement obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit or of any other LC Obligations, or (vi) reduce the rates of interest or fees payable on any of the Loans or other Obligations, or (b) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders, (i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than as specifically authorized by the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents), (ii) release any Guarantor; (iii) amend the definition of Required Lenders or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of Lenders required to make any determinations or grant any waiver or consent hereunder; (iv) amend the provisions of this Section 10.03; and provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent or the Issuing Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and Issuing Lender, respectively.  Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement and with the exception of amendments to any provision of Article 9 of this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended without the prior written consent of the Borrower.  The Agent and all of the Lenders may amend or modify any provision of Article 9 of this Agreement without the need for any consent or approval from the Borrower or any Loan Party (provided the Borrower’s approval shall be required to revise the requirement in Section 9.05 to obtain the consent of Borrower to the appointment of a new Agent if there are no continuing Defaults or Events of Default).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the principal amounts of any Loans held by such Defaulting Lender may not be increased and the Commitments and

59

Commitment Percentages of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Section 10.04.        Expenses. The Borrower shall pay all Credit Party Expenses, including, without limitation (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and the recordation of any Credit Documents (including all recording costs and taxes, transfer taxes, documentary stamps, and the like), (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (c) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by  the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their respective rights under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

Section 10.05.        Indemnity.  The Borrower shall indemnify, and shall cause the other Loan Parties to indemnify, each of the Credit Parties and each Related Party of any of the Credit Parties (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Loan Party, any contamination of a Property or of any other Collateral, or any Environmental Liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnitee, or (ii) result from a claim brought by a Loan Party against any Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if the Borrower or any other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the Borrower and the other Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required by this Section 10.05 to be paid to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, (but without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or such other Loan Parties to do so) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s applicable pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

60

Section 10.06.        Waiver of Claims.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the administration thereof, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.  Without limitation to the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges that the Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and information, including the Information, provided by or on behalf of the Loan Parties by posting such materials and information on IntraLinks, or another similar electronic system.

Section 10.07.        Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations without the prior written consent of the Agent and each other Credit Party and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.08, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.11, or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.12 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.11) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.08.        Assignments By Lenders.  Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Lender’s interests, rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes hereof, its participations in LC Obligations) provided that (a) an administrative fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500.00) is paid to the Agent by either the assigning Lender or the Eligible Assignee in connection with the assignment, (b) if less than all of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans is to be assigned, the amount of the Commitments and Loans so assigned shall be for an aggregate principal amount of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), (c) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate amount of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans and Commitments assigned, (d) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment And Assumption to the Agent (with copies to be sent contemporaneously to each Lender), for its acceptance, and (e) such Assignment And Assumption does not require the filing of a registration statement with the Securities And Exchange Commission or require the Loans or the Notes to be qualified in conformance with the requirements imposed by any blue sky laws or other laws of any state.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment And Assumption, which effective date is at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof, (a) the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment And Assumption, have the rights, duties, and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (b) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment And Assumption, be released from its duties and obligations under this Agreement but shall continue to be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights provided to the Lenders by the Borrower pursuant to any of the Credit Documents with respect to facts, events, and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  By executing and delivering an Assignment And Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Eligible Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties to this Agreement the facts and matters as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption.  Lenders

61

may only assign their interests in the Commitments, the Loans, and Credit Documents to Eligible Assignees. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under the Credit Documents that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of the Credit Documents as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.11 of this Agreement.  Any consent of the Borrower that is required for a proposed assignee to be eligible to be an Eligible Assignee shall be deemed to have been given by the Borrower unless the Borrower objects to such proposed assignee by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice of the proposed assignment to such assignee.

Section 10.09.        Register.  The Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment And Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the amount of the Loans with respect to each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 10.10.        Procedures for Implementing Lender Assignments.  Upon the Agent’s receipt of an Assignment And Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee together with any Note or Notes subject to such Assignment and Assumption and any necessary consents to such Assignment and Assumption, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (a) accept such Assignment And Assumption, (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, (c) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, and (d) promptly deliver a copy of such Assignment And Assumption to the Borrower.  Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of notice, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Notes, new Notes to the order of such Eligible Assignee in amounts equal to the Commitments and Commitment Percentages assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment And Assumption and new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Commitment Percentages retained by the assigning Lender.  Such Notes shall be in the aggregate stated principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment And Assumption and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes delivered to the assigning Lender.  The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that the cancellation of any Note or Notes and the replacement of any Note or Notes in accordance with this provision shall not constitute or be deemed to be a refinancing or a novation of any of the Obligations.

Section 10.11.        Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Agent, or any other Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than to natural persons, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, who would not qualify as an Eligible Assignee) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (c) the Loan Parties and the other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or wavier of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that affects such Participant which (a) increases or decreases the principal amounts of the Commitments or Loans of such Lender, (b) extends the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Term Loan Maturity Date or the LC Expiration Date, (c) postpones the time of payment of principal, interest or fees on account of the Loans or LC Obligations, (d) reduces the rates of

62

interest payable on the Loans or reduces any fees payable under the Credit Documents, or (e) releases substantially all of the Collateral that affects such Participant.  Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08 and 2.09.2 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.08.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.18 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.06.4 as though it were a Lender.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.08 or 2.09.3 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.09.3 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.09.5 as though it were a Lender.

Section 10.12.        Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.13.        Resignation By M&T Bank As Issuing Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time M&T Bank assigns all of its Commitments and Loans, M&T Bank may upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender.  In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of M&T Bank as Issuing Lender.  If M&T Bank resigns, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all LC Obligations with respect thereto.  Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender, (x) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Lender, and (y) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to M&T Bank to effectively assume the obligations of M&T Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 10.14.        Survival.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of any Credit Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under the Credit Documents is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Credit Commitments have not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Sections 2.09, 2.10.3, Article 9 and Sections 10.05 and 10.06 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 10.15.        Counterparts And Integration.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Article 4, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have

63

been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or a Lender Addendum electronically shall be just as effective as the delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.16.        Electronic Execution.  The words “execution”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.17.        Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.18.        Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates and Participants is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by it to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the obligations of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by it, irrespective of whether or not it shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates and Participants under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that it may have.

Section 10.19.        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Governing State.

Section 10.20.        Jurisdiction.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in the Governing State for any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents.

Section 10.21.        Venue.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents in any court referred to in Section 10.20.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Section 10.22.        Service Of Process.  Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

64

Section 10.23.        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OBLIGATIONS.  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 10.24.        Time.  Time is of the essence to this Agreement.

Section 10.25.        Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each Credit Party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by an regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those in this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (g) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.  Each of the Credit Parties acknowledges that (i) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information, and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with all applicable Laws, including Federal and state securities Laws.

Section 10.26.        Advertisement.  The Borrower authorizes the Agent to publish the name of the Borrower and the amount of the financing provided in accordance with this Agreement in any “tombstone” or comparable advertisement which the Agent elects to publish.  The Borrower further agrees that the Agent may provide lending industry trade organizations with information necessary and customary (including, without limitation, the amount and type of facilities, the rates and counsel’s name) for inclusion in league table measurements after the Closing Date.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower consents to the disclosure by the Agent after the Closing Date of information relating to the Loans to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, with such information to consist of deal terms consisting of (a) the Borrower’s name, (b) principal loan amounts, (c) interest rates, (d) term lengths, (e) commitment fees and other fees to the Lenders in the syndicate, and (f) the identity of their attorneys and other information customarily found in such publications.

Section 10.27.        Acknowledgments.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a)  it and each of the other Loan Parties has been advised and represented by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of each Credit Document, (b) no Credit Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to it or

65

to the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the relationship between the Credit Parties, on one hand, and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of creditor and debtors, and (c) no joint venture exists among the Credit Parties and the Borrower or any of the other Loan Parties.

Section 10.28.        USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Credit Party that is subject to 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 Credit Party to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
