SECTION 2.  LOANS

2.1                               Revolving Loans.

(a)                                 Revolving Commitments.

(i)                                     During the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender agrees from time to time to make loans to the Borrower (each a “Revolving Loan” and collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding its Revolving Commitment; provided, that after giving effect to the making of any Revolving Loans in no event shall a Borrowing Base Deficiency exist.

(ii)                                  Subject to Section 2.1(b), amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may be repaid and re-borrowed during the Revolving Commitment Period.

(iii)                               Each Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall expire on the Revolving Period End Date and all Revolving Loans, and all other Obligations shall be paid in full no later than the Final Maturity Date.

24

(b)                                 Borrowing Mechanics for Revolving Loans.

(i)                                     Revolving Loans made on any Credit Date shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000.

(ii)                                  Whenever the Borrower desires that the Lenders make a Revolving Loan, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Credit Date.  Each such Funding Notice shall be delivered attaching a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting sufficient Revolving Availability for the requested Revolving Loan.  Except as otherwise provided herein, a Funding Notice for a Revolving Loan shall be irrevocable.

(iii)                               The Lenders shall, upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified herein, make the amount of the Revolving Loan requested available to the Borrower not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, to such account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(iv)                              Unless otherwise permitted by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, no more than one Revolving Loan shall be made per calendar week.

(c)                                  Protective Advances.  Subject to the limitations set forth below, and whether or not an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrower on behalf of the Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems reasonably necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, to the extent that Borrower fails to do so or (ii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, payments of principal, interest, fees and reimbursable expenses to the extent Borrower fails to pay any such amount beyond any applicable cure period, (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided, that the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans plus Protective Advances shall not exceed the Revolving Commitment then in effect.  Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have not been satisfied.  Each Protective Advance shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder.

2.2                               Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be applied by the Borrower to (a) provide funds in connection to the Existing Renewable Loans financed by the Funding Entities, (b) financing the funding of additional Renewable Loans by the Funding Entities or the Borrower and (c) to pay reasonable ongoing operating expenses of the Borrower.  No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T or Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Regulation B, Regulation X or Regulation Z of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

25

2.3                               Evidence of Debt; Register; Lender’s Books and Records; Notes.

(a)                                 Lender’s Evidence of Debt.  Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment in respect thereof.  Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent demonstrable error; provided, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and such Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern absent manifest error.  Any error in the recordations in the Register shall not affect each Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loans.

(b)                                 Register.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Credit Parties or the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders, absent manifest error; provided, that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect each Lender’s Revolving Commitments or the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan.  The Borrower hereby designates the entity serving as the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.3(b), and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity serving as the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c)                                  Revolving Loan Notes.  Upon the written request of any Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Loan Note or Revolving Loan Notes to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans.  Following the Closing Date, if so reasonably requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy of the Administrative Agent), promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such written notice, to any Eligible Assignee), a Revolving Loan Note or Revolving Loan Notes to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans.

2.4                               Interest on Loans.

(a)                                 Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at the LIBOR Rate, plus the Applicable Margin (the “Interest Rate”).

(b)                                 Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.4(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues.  In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan shall be excluded; provided,

26

that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(c)                                  Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on and to each Settlement Date applicable to that Loan, (ii) upon any prepayment of such Loan, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid and (iii) on the Final Maturity Date.

2.5                               Continuation.  Upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Loan, such Loan shall automatically continue for an additional Interest Period.

2.6                               Default Interest.  Subject to Section 9.17, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable in accordance with Section 2.10(b) at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the Interest Rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (the “Default Funding Rate”); provided, that the Default Funding Rate will not apply if the Obligations of the Borrower are paid upon the Administrative Agent’s notice declaring such Obligations immediately due and payable pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1.  Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.6 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

2.7                               Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay each of the fees referred to in the Fee Letters, including the Structuring Fee, the Upfront Fee, the Unused Fee, the Agent Margin Fee and any Increase Fee.

2.8                               Prepayments.

(a)                                 Borrowing Base Deficiency.  Upon (i) an Authorized Officer of the Borrower becoming aware that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists or (ii) receipt by the Borrower of written notice from the Administrative Agent that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall (x) apply any amounts in the Collection Accounts or the Reserve Accounts to prepay the Revolving Loans until the Borrowing Base Deficiency is reduced to zero, (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Funding Entities to distribute net operating cash flows or net cash flows from capital transactions to the Borrower which in turn shall be used by the Borrower to prepay the Revolving Loans until the Borrowing Base Deficiency is reduced to zero or (z) request that the Performance Guarantor make an equity contribution in an amount equal to the Borrowing Base Deficiency which in turn shall be used by the Borrower to prepay the Revolving Loans until the Borrowing Base Deficiency is reduced to zero.  If after the actions described in items (x), (y) and (z), a Borrowing Base Deficiency continues to exist, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency.

(b)                                 Termination of Commitments.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time to terminate the Commitment, in whole but not in part, repay all outstanding Loans plus all accrued

27

but unpaid interest and fees thereon, and all other Obligations and all other amounts due under the Credit Documents outstanding, as of the date of prepayment; provided, that (i) the Borrower shall give not less than 15 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s election to terminate the Commitments and (ii) the Borrower shall pay a prepayment premium (the “Prepayment Premium”) to the Lenders in an amount equal to (A) if such prepayment occurs during the 12 months following the Closing Date, the product of (1) the Facility Amount as of the date of prepayment, multiplied by (2) 1.00% or (B) if such prepayment occurs thereafter, zero.  The notice of termination may be conditioned on the completion of a refinancing.  All Revolving Commitments shall be terminated on the date specified in such notice.

(c)                                  Prepayment Certificate.  Concurrently with the termination of the Commitments and prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(b), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable net proceeds owing to the Lenders.  In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount paid exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Administrative Agent shall promptly refund any additional prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

2.9                               Controlled Accounts.

(a)                                 The Borrower shall establish and maintain cash management systems reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower shall not, and shall cause the Manager to not, deposit Collections or proceeds thereof in a Securities Account or Deposit Account which is not a Controlled Account.  All Collections and proceeds of the Collateral shall be subject to an express trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and shall be delivered to Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations or any other amount due under any other Credit Document as set forth in this Agreement.

(b)                                 On or prior to the date hereof, the Borrower shall cause to be established and maintained, (i) with the Account Bank, one or more Deposit Accounts (or sub-accounts) in the name of the Borrower each designated as a “Collection Account,” in each case, as to which the Account Bank, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, shall have sole and exclusive dominion and control for the benefit of the Secured Parties within the meaning of Sections 9-104(a)(1), 9-312(b) and 9-314 of the UCC pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) with the Account Bank, one or more Deposit Accounts (or sub-accounts) in the name of the Borrower each designated as a “Reserve Account”, in each case, as to which the Account Bank, in its capacity as Collateral Agent, shall have sole and exclusive dominion and control for the benefit of the Secured Parties within the meaning of Sections 9-104(a)(1), 9-312(b) and 9-314 of the UCC pursuant to this Agreement.  The Collateral Agent shall be entitled at any time to give the Account Bank instructions as to the withdrawal or disposition of funds from time to time credited to the

28

Controlled Accounts, or as to any other matters relating to the Controlled Accounts, all without further consent of Borrower.  The Account Bank acknowledges and agrees that (i) it shall comply with the instructions originated by the Collateral Agent in each case directing disposition of any funds from time to time credited to the Controlled Accounts without further consent of Borrower and (ii) it shall, and is fully entitled to, rely upon any such instructions from the Collateral Agent even if such instructions are contrary to any instructions or demands that Borrower may give to the Account Bank.

2.10                        Application of Proceeds.

(a)                                 Application of Amounts in the Collection Accounts.  At any time before the Final Maturity Date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (after giving effect to the application of funds in accordance herewith on the relevant date), the Borrower will instruct the Account Bank in writing prior to each Settlement Date to apply all Collections in the Collection Accounts with respect to the related Collection Period and any amounts transferred to the applicable Collection Account from the applicable Reserve Accounts on each Settlement Date as follows:

(i)                                     First, on a pari passu basis, (1) to the Account Bank, any Account Bank Fees accrued and unpaid as of the last day of such Collection Period and (2) to the Agents, any accrued but unpaid fees and expenses of the Agents as of the last day of such Collection Period in connection with this Agreement and any other Credit Document;

(ii)                                  Second, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, pro rata, to pay any accrued but unpaid interest, fees and expenses of the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and any other Credit Document, including, but not limited to, any fees specified in the Fee Letters;

(iii)                               Third, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, pro rata, any amounts necessary to reduce the Borrowing Base Deficiency, if any, to zero;

(iv)                              Fourth, to the Collateral Agent, for deposit in each Reserve Account, any amounts necessary to reduce the Reserve Account Deficiency, if any, to zero; and

(v)                                 Fifth, provided that no Borrowing Base Deficiency would occur after giving effect to such distribution, any remainder to the Borrower or to a designee of the Borrower, at the direction of the Borrower, for its own account.

(b)                                 Application of Amounts During an Event of Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent will instruct the Account Bank in writing prior to each Settlement Date to apply all amounts in the applicable Collection Account from the applicable Reserve Accounts on each Settlement Date as follows:

(i)                                     First, to the payment of, and in the same priority as, items (i) — (ii) in Section 2.10(a) above;

29

(ii)                                  Second, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, pro rata, to reduce the outstanding principal balance on the Revolving Loans to zero and to pay all other Obligations or any other amount due hereunder; and

(iii)                               Third, any remainder to the Borrower or to a designee of the Borrower, at the direction of the Borrower, for its own account.

(c)                                  Permitted Investment of Funds in the Collection Accounts and Reserve Accounts.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and shall be continuing without waiver by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or its designee shall be permitted to direct (which may be standing directions) the investment of the funds from time to time held in the Collection Accounts and the Reserve Accounts in Permitted Investments , and to sell or liquidate such Permitted Investments and reinvest proceeds from such sale or liquidation in other Permitted Investments (but none of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall have any liability whatsoever in respect of any failure by the Borrower to do so), with all such proceeds and reinvestments to be held in the Collection Accounts and the Reserve Accounts; provided, however, that the maturity of the Permitted Investments on deposit in the Collection Accounts and the Reserve Accounts shall be no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn therefrom pursuant to this Agreement.  No Permitted Investment shall be liquidated at a loss at the direction of the Borrower except to the extent necessary to make a required payment as described herein.  All income and gains from the investment of funds in each Collection Account and Reserve Account shall be retained in such Collection Account or Reserve Account, as applicable, until each Settlement Date, at which time such income and gains shall be applied in accordance with Sections 2.10(a) or (b), as the case may be, in connection with a Settlement Date.  As between the Borrower and the Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall treat all income, gains and losses from the investment of amounts in each Collection Account or Reserve Account as its income or loss for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

(d)                                 On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall cause to be deposited to the applicable Collection Account from the applicable Reserve Account an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of cash or other immediately available funds on deposit in such Reserve Account on such Settlement Date and (ii) the amount, if any, by which (x) the amounts required to be applied pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) through (iii) on such Settlement Date and for any preceding Settlement Date (to the extent not previously paid) exceeds (y) the Collections for such Settlement Date

2.11                        General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a)                                 All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due via wire transfer of immediately available funds to account number 343900225 at East West Bank (ABA No. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Name: MMA Energy Holdings) in New York City (or at such other location or bank account within the City and State of New York as may be designated by the Administrative Agent from time to time); funds received by the Administrative Agent after that

30

time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next Business Day (provided, that any application of funds by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 2.10 on any Settlement Date shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made in accordance with the deadlines and payment requirements described in this Section 2.11).

(b)                                 All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c)                                  Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period,” whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder.

(d)                                 The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in order to cause timely payment to be made to the Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(e)                                  Except as set forth in the proviso to Section 2.11(a), the Administrative Agent may deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due to be a non-conforming payment.  Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds and (ii) the applicable next Business Day.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming.  Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(a).  Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Funding Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.6 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

31

2.12                        Increases.

At any time during the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may request, in writing delivered to the Administrative Agent, an increase in the Maximum Committed Amount, up to an additional $50,000,000.  Any such increase to the Maximum Committed Amount will be made at the sole and absolute discretion of the Lenders subject to, among other things, no Event of Default existing under the Facility and payment of the Increase Fee with respect to such increase.  The Lenders shall provide written notice to the Borrower of whether the Maximum Committed Amount will be increased, and if so to what amount, not later sixty (60) days after receipt of the request from the Borrower.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.12 do not apply as result of additional Lenders executing a Joinder Agreement after the Closing Date and joining the Facility.

2.13                        Revolving Loans.

(a)                                 Illegality or Impracticability of Revolving Loans.  In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Revolving Loans has become (i) unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by e-mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).  Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Revolving Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Revolving Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law and (3) if such illegality or impracticality is a result of the Revolving Loans accruing interest at a rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, the Interest Rate on the Affected Loans shall automatically convert to the alternate rate determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.13(e) on the date of such termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Revolving Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(b), to rescind such Funding Notice as to such Lender by giving notice (by e-mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender).  Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.13(a) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

32

(b)                                 Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods.  The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Revolving Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain:  (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Revolving Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for a borrowing does not occur on the date specified therefor in such Funding Notice or telephonic request; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Revolving Loans occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or (iii) if a prepayment of any of its Revolving Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(c)                                  Booking of Revolving Loans.  Each Lender may make, carry or transfer Revolving Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(d)                                 Assumptions Concerning Funding of Revolving Loans.  Calculation of all amounts payable to any Lender under this Section 2.13 and under Section 2.14 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Revolving Loans through the purchase of a LIBOR deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share the amount of such Revolving Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such LIBOR deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States; provided, however, the applicable Lender may fund each of its Revolving Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.13 and under Section 2.14.

(e)                                  Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate.  If Bloomberg Professional Service (or another nationally-recognized rate reporting source acceptable to the Administrative Agent) no longer reports the LIBOR Rate or the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that the rate so reported no longer accurately reflects the rate available to the Administrative Agent in the London Interbank Market or if Bloomberg Screen B TMM Page no longer exists or accurately reflects the rate available to the Administrative Agent in the London Interbank Market, the Administrative Agent may select a replacement index or replacement page, as the case may be; provided, however, that such replacement index or replacement page (x) is not materially different from the replacement index or replacement page the Administrative Agent has selected for similar borrowers under other credit facilities and (y) shall be based upon such other indication of the prevailing equivalent rate of interest as chosen by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion required to make such equivalent rate of interest equal to the LIBOR Rate (as of the last time the LIBOR Rate was in effect) as of such date.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that (i) the LIBOR rate is permanently or indefinitely unavailable or unascertainable, or ceases to be published, (ii) the LIBOR administrator or its successor invokes its insufficient admissions policy, (iii) LIBOR is

33

determined to be no longer representative by the regulatory supervisor of the administrator of LIBOR, (iv) LIBOR can no longer be lawfully relied upon in contracts of this nature by one or both of the parties, or (v) LIBOR does not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining the type of loans or advances under this Agreement and in any such case, such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, then all references to the LIBOR Rate herein will instead be to a replacement rate determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment, including any adjustment to the replacement rate to reflect a different credit spread, term or other mathematical adjustment deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent in its sole judgment.   The Administrative Agent will provide reasonable notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of such replacement rate, which will be effective on the date of the earliest event set forth in clauses (i)-(v) of this paragraph.  If there is any ambiguity as to the date of occurrence of any such event, the Administrative Agent’s judgment will be dispositive.  The establishment of the LIBOR Rate on each determination date by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent’s calculation of the rate of interest applicable to the Loans for the related Interest Period shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding.

2.14                        Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)                                 Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.15 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof (or with respect to any Lender which becomes a Lender after the date hereof, effective after such date), or compliance by any Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof (or with respect to any Lender which becomes a Lender after the date hereof, effective after such date) by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law):  (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Indemnified Tax or Excluded Tax) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC or other insurance or charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender; or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such

34

increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder and any reasonable expenses related thereto, to the extent not already compensated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.  The applicable Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.14(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b)                                 Capital Adequacy Adjustment.  In the event that any Lender shall have determined in its sole discretion (which determination shall, absent manifest effort, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (i) the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof or (ii) compliance by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any company controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling company on an after tax basis for such reduction, to the extent such Lender has not already been compensated therefor pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The applicable Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.14(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.  For the avoidance of doubt, subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.14(b) shall apply, without limitation, to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any Governmental Authority (x) under or in connection with the implementation of the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as amended to the date hereof and from time to time hereafter, and any successor statute and (y) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

(c)                                  Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of a Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased cost incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies

35

the Borrower of such event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

2.15                        Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a)                                 Payments to Be Free and Clear.  All sums payable by the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax.

(b)                                 Withholding of Taxes.  If the Borrower or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under any of the Credit Documents:  (i) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement promptly following the Borrower becoming aware of it; (ii) the Borrower shall withhold or deduct any such Tax and timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any such Tax withheld or deducted within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law; (iii) in the case of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date an amount equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment for Indemnified Taxes been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after payment of any Tax pursuant to this Section 2.15(b), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority as required by applicable Requirements of Law evidencing such payment, or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(c)                                  Indemnification for Taxes.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15(c)) payable or paid by such Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lenders (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of the Lenders, together with reasonable evidence of the amount of Indemnified Taxes, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)                                 Tax Documentation of Non-US Lenders.  Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and to the extent legally entitled to do so, at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of IRS Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) (or any successor forms),

36

properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of U.S. federal income tax with respect to any payments or other amounts payable to such Lender under any of the Credit Documents and (ii) if such Lender is claiming the “portfolio interest exception”, a properly completed and duly executed U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e)                                  Tax Documentation of US Lenders.  Each Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, whether on the Closing Date or pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is a U.S. Person and not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(f)                                   FATCA Documentation.  If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment under FATCA, if any.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code after the date of this Agreement.

(g)                                  Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have provided the Borrower with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of payment of such Other Taxes.

(h)                                 Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party,

37

shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i)                                     Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

2.16                        Obligation to Mitigate.

(a)                                 Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of the Lender or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments or Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments or Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.16 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above.  A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b)                                 Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section, then the Borrower may, at its

38

sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.6), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 2.15) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i)                                     such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan 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);

(ii)                                  in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iii)                               such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

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.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Article 8.

2.17                        Defaulting Lenders.

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)                                     Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 9.5.

(ii)                                  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under the Lenders’ Fee Letter for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iii)                               Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.4 shall be

39

applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b)                                 Limitation of Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Borrower or any other Person for the failure fund all or any portion of its Loans and (ii) no non-Defaulting Lenders shall be liable to the Borrower or any other Person for the failure of a Defaulting Lender fund all or any portion of its Loans available to the Borrower. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby reserve any and all rights or remedies that may be available under applicable law against any Defaulting Lender in relation to the foregoing.

(c)                                  Termination of Defaulting Lender.  The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.17(a)(iii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

40

(a)                                 Amendments and Waivers.

(i)                                     Subject to Sections 9.5(a)(ii), 9.5(a)(iii) and 9.5(b), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of each Credit Party thereto and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders.

(ii)                                  Lender Consent.  Without the written consent of each Lender that would be affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(f)                                   Representations and Warranties of Assignee.  Each assignee of the Lender, upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Borrower as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Revolving Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Revolving Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Revolving Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.6, the disposition of such Revolving Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(g)                                  Effect of Assignment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.6, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement:  (i) the assignee

68

thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of an “Agent” or “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and an “Agent” or “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Agent or Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 9.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Agent’s or Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such assigning Agent or Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Agent or Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising prior to the effective date of such assignment; (iii) if applicable, the Revolving Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Revolving Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Agent or Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Revolving Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Revolving Loan Notes to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Borrower shall issue and deliver new Revolving Loan Notes, if so reasonably requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(h)                                 Participations.  Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person in all or any part of its Revolving Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation.  The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require the Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except the consent of each participant shall be required with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Revolving Loan Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Revolving Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents or the Performance Guarantor from the Guaranty (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.  Each Credit Party agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section; provided, (i) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation, unless the sale of the participation to such

69

participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent and (ii) a participant provides to the Lender selling such participation any documentation required to be provided by a Lender under Section 2.15 as if such participant were a Lender.  To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.4 as though it were a Lender, provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells such a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in such participation and other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”).  For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register and (ii) neither Credit Party shall have any responsibilities, including any reporting under this Agreement, with respect to any participant except as specifically set forth in this Subsection 9.6(h). 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.

(i)                                     Certain Other Assignments.  In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 9.6, each Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Revolving Loan Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between the Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender (except if such assigning Lender is the Administrative Agent) to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

9.7                               Independence of Covenants.  All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

9.8                               Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements.  All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension.  Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Borrower set forth in Sections 2.7, 2.10, 2.14, 2.15, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.10 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof.

9.9                               No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege.  The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies

70

existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents.  Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

9.10                        Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.  Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations or any other amount due hereunder.  To the extent that any the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or a Lender (or to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Lender), or the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

9.11                        Severability.  In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Revolving Loan Note or other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

9.12                        Third Party Beneficiaries.  The Account Bank shall be an express third party beneficiary of the provisions of Section 2.10.

9.13                        Headings.  Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

9.14                        APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5 1401 AND 5 1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) THEREOF.

9.15                        CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

(A)                               ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇.  BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY

71

(i) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS, (ii) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, (iii) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 9.1 AND TO ANY PROCESS AGENT APPOINTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBPARAGRAPH (B) BELOW IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE SUCH PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT AND (iv) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND THE LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST SUCH PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(B)                               THE BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT PROCESS MAY BE SERVED ON IT BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE ADDRESSES PERTAINING TO IT AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 9.1.  ANY AND ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ANY OTHER NOTICE IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE BORROWER, IF GIVEN BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OR BY ANY OTHER MEANS OR MAIL WHICH REQUIRES A SIGNED RECEIPT, POSTAGE PREPAID, MAILED AS PROVIDED ABOVE.

9.16                        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN IT RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDERS/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.  THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.  THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND THE LENDERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT IT HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS.  EACH OF THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND THE LENDERS FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.  THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 9.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER

72

CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

9.17                        Usury Savings Clause.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect.  In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of each Lender and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if a Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

9.18                        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

9.19                        Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

9.20                        Patriot Act.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of the Lenders) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot 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 the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

73

9.21                        Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates (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 required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws 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 of this Section, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) 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 the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower who did not acquire such information as a result of a breach of this Section.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agents or any Lender in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the Commitments.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party or Funding Entity relating to such Person or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person; provided that, in the case of information received from any Credit Party or Funding Entity after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  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.
