(a) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Other Agreements, during the Original Term and any Renewal Term, each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees absent the occurrence of an Event of Default, to make its Pro Rata Share of revolving loans and advances (the “Revolving Loans”) requested by Borrower Representative on behalf of each Borrower up to such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment so

long as after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the sum of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations does not exceed an amount up to the sum of the following sublimits (the “Revolving Loan Limit”):

(i) Up to eighty-five percent (85%) of the face amount (less maximum discounts, credits and allowances which may be taken by or granted to Account Debtors in connection therewith in the ordinary course of AMCON’s business) of AMCON’s Eligible Accounts or Fifty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($55,000,000.00), whichever is less; plus

(ii) Up to eighty-five percent (85%) of the lower of cost or market value of Eligible Cigarette Inventory or Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00), whichever is less; plus

(iii) Up to seventy percent (70%) of the lower of cost or market value of AMCON’s Eligible Inventory (consisting solely of AMCON’s Eligible Inventory other than Eligible Cigarette Inventory set forth in clause (ii) above) or Fifteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00), whichever is less; plus

(iv) Up to sixty percent (60%) of the lower of cost or market value of the Retail Subsidiaries’ Eligible Inventory or the Retail Inventory Sublimit, whichever is less; minus

(v) such reserves as Agent elects, in its sole discretion to establish from time to time, including without limitation, a reserve with respect to Rate Hedging Obligations;

provided, that the Revolving Loan Limit shall in no event exceed Fifty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($55,000,000.00) (the “Maximum Revolving Loan Limit”) except as such amount may be increased or, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, decreased by Agent from time to time, in Agent’s sole discretion. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Revolving Loans shall not at any time exceed the lesser of the (i) Revolving Loan Limit minus the Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit minus the Letter of Credit Obligations. If at any time the outstanding Revolving Loans exceeds either the Revolving Loan Limit or the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit, in each case minus the Letter of Credit Obligations, or any portion of the Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations exceeds any applicable sublimit within the Revolving Loan Limit (the “Overadvance”), Borrowers shall immediately, and without the necessity of demand by Agent, pay to Agent such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such Overadvance and Agent shall apply such payment to the Revolving Loans in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower Representative shall have the right hereafter to notify the Agent and the Lenders in writing that it wishes to increase (an “Increase”) the Revolving Loan Commitment by an aggregate amount of up to $25,000,000, in increments of not less than $5,000,000; provided, however, that the Borrower Representative may not make more than three (3) requests for an Increase hereunder. Each such Increase shall become effective not less than twenty (20) Business Days after the date such notice is received by the Agent, so long

as (a) no Event of Default or unmatured Event of Default is in existence on such date and (b) either (i) the then-existing Lenders agree to increase their Revolving Loan Commitments by the aggregate amount of such Increase, (ii) other third party financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Borrowers (“New Lenders”) agree to provide new Revolving Loan Commitments in the aggregate amount of such Increase or (iii) a combination of then-existing Lenders and New Lenders agree to provide the aggregate amount of such Increase by increasing their Revolving Loan Commitments or providing new Revolving Loan Commitments, as applicable. The then-existing Lenders shall have the first right of refusal to provide such Increase for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the Agent of the written notice described above; provided, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Increase as a result of any such request by the Borrower Representative, and (ii) any additional New Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Agent and the Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). In the event of over-subscription, the pro rata shares of each such Person in the Increase shall be determined by the Agent. Any Increase shall be effected by an amendment to this Agreement. In each case, the Borrowers will issue to each affected Lender new Revolving Notes upon request of such Lender. Any Increase in the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment shall also constitute an increase in the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit and Maximum Loan Limit by a like amount.

Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations to make Revolving Loans hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, to make its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loans hereunder.

If Borrower Representative, on behalf of any Borrower, makes a request for a Revolving Loan as provided herein Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, shall do either of the following:

(i) advance the amount of the proposed Revolving Loan to such Borrower disproportionately (a “Disproportionate Advance”) out of Agent’s own funds on behalf of Lenders, which advance shall be on the same day as Borrower Representative’s request therefor with respect to Prime Rate Loans if Borrower Representative notifies Agent of such request by 1:00 P.M., Chicago time on such day, and request settlement in accordance with Section 19 hereof such that upon such settlement each Lender’s share of the outstanding Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, the amount of any Disproportionate Advance) equals its Pro Rata Share; or

(ii) Notify each Lender by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of teletransmission of the proposed advance on the same day Agent is notified or deemed notified by Borrower Representative of such Borrower’s request for an advance pursuant to this Section 2(a). Each Lender shall remit, to the demand deposit account designated by a Borrower at or prior to 3:00 P.M., Chicago time, on the date of notification, if such notification is made before 1:00 P.M., Chicago time, or 10:00 A.M., Chicago time, on the Business Day immediately succeeding the date of such notification, if such notification is made after 1:00 P.M., Chicago time, immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed advance.

If and to the extent that a Lender does not settle with Agent as required under this Agreement (a “Defaulting Lender”) Borrowers and Defaulting Lender severally agree to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such amount required to be paid by such Defaulting Lender to Agent, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to a Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Agent (x) in the case of a Defaulting Lender at the rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the next succeeding Business Day as the “Federal Funds Rate” or if no such rate is published for any Business Day, at the average rate quoted for such day for such transactions from three (3) federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by Agent, and (y) in the case of Borrowers, at the interest rate applicable at such time for such Loans; provided, that Borrowers’ obligation to repay such advance to Agent shall not relieve such Defaulting Lender of its liability to Agent for failure to settle as provided in this Agreement.

Each Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, in its sole discretion, to charge any of such Borrower’s accounts or advance Revolving Loans to make any payments of principal, interest, fees, costs or expenses required to be made under this Agreement or the Other Agreements.

A request for a Revolving Loan shall be made or shall be deemed to be made, each in the following manner: the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrower requesting such Revolving Loan, shall give Agent same day notice, no later than 1:00 P.M. (Chicago time) for such day, of its request for a Revolving Loan, in which notice the Borrower Representative shall specify the amount of the proposed borrowing and the proposed borrowing date; provided, however, that no such request may be made at a time when there exists an Event of Default or an event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, will become an Event of Default. In the event that a Borrower maintains a controlled disbursement account at LaSalle, each check presented for payment against such controlled disbursement account and any other charge or request for payment against such controlled disbursement account shall constitute a request for a Revolving Loan as a Prime Rate Loan. As an accommodation to Borrowers, Agent may permit telephone requests for Revolving Loans and electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Agent by Borrower Representative, on behalf of Borrowers. Unless Borrower Representative specifically directs Agent in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic or electronic communications from Borrower Representative, Agent shall have no liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower Representative or any Borrower as a result of Agent’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Agent by Borrower Representative and Agent shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the authority of the Person sending it.

Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested by Borrower Representative, or deemed to be requested by Borrower Representative, as follows: the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested under Section 2(a) shall be disbursed by Agent in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, in the case of the initial borrowing, in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrower Representative, and in the case of each subsequent borrowing, by wire transfer or Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer to such bank account

as may be agreed upon by Borrower Representative and Agent from time to time, or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from Borrower Representative.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, so long as no Event of Default exists or would arise therefrom, the Borrowers may from time to time request that the Lenders provide Revolving Loans in excess of the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit in an amount not to exceed the Confectionary and Tobacco Advance Limit (such advance being referred to herein at the “Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian”). The Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian shall be made, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the Agent, by each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to provide Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian advances. The Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian shall not be effective unless and until each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(i) Each advance pursuant to the Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian shall be subject to the satisfactory review and approval by Agent in its sole discretion;

(ii) Each advance pursuant to the Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian shall be utilized for purchases of inventory which are outside the ordinary course of Borrowers’ business to take advantage of favorable vendor terms and pricing variances;

(iii) Each advance pursuant to the Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) until repaid;

(iv) Each advance pursuant to the Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian shall be due and payable within 45 days of the date of each such advance; and

(v) The Borrowers shall deliver such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Agent may request in order to effectuate the Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian.

This Agreement shall be deemed amended without further action, to the extent necessary to effectuate the Confectionary and Tobacco Accordian as contemplated hereby.

(b) Repayments. The Liabilities shall be repaid as follows:

(i) Repayment of Revolving Loans. The Revolving Loans and all other Liabilities shall be repaid on the last day of the Original Term or any Renewal Term if this Agreement is renewed pursuant to Section 10 hereof.

(ii) Mandatory Prepayments and Reductions in Availability.

(A) Sales of Assets and/or Equity Interests. (i) Other than with respect to a Subsidiary Borrower Sale, upon receipt of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition of any Equipment or real property of a Borrower which is subject to a mortgage in favor of Agent, or if any of the Equipment or real

property subject to such mortgage is damaged, destroyed or taken by condemnation in whole or in part, the proceeds thereof shall be paid by such Borrower to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, such payment to be applied against the Liabilities, as determined by Agent, in its sole discretion, and (ii) with respect to a Subsidiary Borrower Sale, provided that no Event of Default is then in existence, (I) the proceeds thereof shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower, and (II) in the event such Subsidiary Borrower is a Retail Subsidiary, such application shall result in a mandatory reduction of the Retail Inventory Sublimit (in such order and amount as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion), and (III) then the proceeds thereof shall be applied against the other Liabilities, as determined by Agent, in its sole discretion, provided further that upon the existence of an Event of Default, the proceeds thereof shall be applied to the Liabilities in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.

(B) Raising of Equity/Incurrence of Subordinated Debt. In the event AMCON or any Subsidiary Borrower causes any equity to be contributed or incurs indebtedness on a subordinated basis and AMCON elects to have such proceeds applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans to the Subsidiary Borrowers, then provided that Agent has consented to the contribution of equity or incurrence of indebtedness (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and no Event of Default is then in existence, (i) in the case of AMCON, (I) the proceeds thereof shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of Loans to the Subsidiary Borrowers in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, and (II) in the event such proceeds are applied to the outstanding principal balance of Loans to a Retail Subsidiary, such application shall result in a mandatory reduction of the Retail Inventory Sublimit (in such order and amount as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion), and (III) then the proceeds thereof shall be applied against the other Liabilities, as determined by Agent, in its sole discretion, and (ii) in the case of a Subsidiary Borrower, (I) the proceeds thereof shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, and (II) in the event such proceeds are applied to the outstanding principal balance of Loans to a Retail Subsidiary, such application shall result in a mandatory reduction of the Retail Inventory Sublimit (in such order and amount as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion), and (III) then the proceeds thereof shall be applied against the other Liabilities, as determined by Agent, in its sole discretion.

(c) Notes. The Loans shall, in Agent’s and Lenders’ sole discretion, be evidenced by one or more promissory notes in form and substance satisfactory to each Lender. However, if such Loans are not so evidenced, such Loans may be evidenced solely by entries upon the books and records maintained by Agent and each Lender.

(d) Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby designates Borrower Representative as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing borrowing requests, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices

and consents hereunder or under any of the Other Agreements and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under this Agreement and the Other Agreements. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Agreement from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers. Each warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on a Borrower’s behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as it if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

3. LETTERS OF CREDIT.

(a) General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Other Agreements, during the Original Term or any Renewal Term, Agent shall, absent the existence of an Event of Default, from time to time issue, cause to be issued and co-sign for or otherwise guarantee, upon the request of Borrower Representative, on behalf of a Borrower, commercial and/or standby Letters of Credit; provided, that the aggregate undrawn face amount of all such Letters of Credit shall at no time exceed Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). Payments made by the issuer of a Letter of Credit to any Person on account of any Letter of Credit shall be immediately payable by such Borrower without notice, presentment or demand and each Borrower agrees that each payment made by the issuer of a Letter of Credit in respect of a Letter of Credit shall constitute a request by Borrower Representative, on behalf of such Borrower, for a Loan to reimburse such issuer. In the event such Loan is not advanced by Agent or Lenders for any reason, such reimbursement obligations (whether owing to the issuer of the Letter of Credit or Agent or Lenders) shall become part of the Liabilities hereunder and shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans constituting Prime Rate Loans until repaid. Borrowers shall remit to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a Letter of Credit fee equal to [one percent (1%)] per annum on the aggregate undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month. Borrowers shall also pay on demand the normal and customary administrative charges of the issuer of the Letter of Credit for issuance, amendment, negotiation, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Requests for Letters of Credit. Borrower Representative, on behalf of each Borrower, shall make requests for Letters of Credit in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such request shall specify the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued, the amount thereof, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and a description of the transaction to be supported thereby. Any such notice shall be accompanied by the form of Letter of Credit requested and any application or reimbursement agreement required by the issuer of such Letter of Credit. If any term of such application or reimbursement agreement is inconsistent with this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency.

(c) Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the issuer of any Letter of Credit, or Agent and/or Lenders if Agent and/or Lenders have reimbursed such issuer on a Borrower’s behalf, for any payments made in respect of any Letter of Credit, which obligation shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid regardless of: (i) any

lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, (ii) any amendment or waiver of or consent or departure from all or any provisions of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any Other Agreement, (iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which a Borrower or any other Person may have against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or Agent, any Lender or issuer of the Letter of Credit, (iv) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (v) any payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the issuer of such Letter of Credit, Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a Borrower’s obligations hereunder. It is understood and agreed by each Borrower that the issuer of any Letter of Credit may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order without further investigation or inquiry, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

(d) Expiration Dates of Letters of Credit. The expiration date of each Letter of Credit shall be no later than the earlier of (i) one (1) year from the date of issuance and (ii) the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the end of the Original Term or any Renewal Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may provide for automatic extensions of its expiration date for one or more one (1) year periods, so long as the issuer thereof has the right to terminate the Letter of Credit at the end of each one (1) year period and no extension period extends past the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the end of the Original Term or any Renewal Term.

(e) Participation. Immediately upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation therein to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (including, without limitation, all obligations of Borrowers with respect thereto). Each Borrower hereby indemnifies Agent and each Lender against any and all liability and expense it may incur in connection with any Letter of Credit and agrees to reimburse Agent and each Lender for any payment made by Agent or any Lender to the issuer.

4. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, the Loans shall bear interest at the per annum rate of interest set forth in subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) below:

(i) Revolving Loans (other than Revolving Loans described in subsection (ii) below) shall bear interest at the Prime Rate in effect from time to time, payable on the last Business Day of each month in arrears. Said rate of interest shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Prime Rate effective on the effective date of each such change in the Prime Rate.

(ii) Each Revolving Loan that constitutes a LIBOR Rate Loan as of April , 2011 may continue as a LIBOR Rate Loan until the latest to occur of (a) the last day of such Revolving Loan’s Interest Period, (b) the termination date of the Rate

Hedging Agreement related to such LIBOR Rate Loan, and (c) April 25, 2011 (the “LIBOR Termination Date”). Upon such LIBOR Rate Loan’s LIBOR Termination Date, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to a Prime Rate Loan. Effective on the date hereof, each new Revolving Loan that constitutes a LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest at one hundred seventy-five (175) basis points in excess of the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period, such rate to remain fixed for such Interest Period. “Interest Period” shall mean any continuous period of one (1) month, two (2) months, three (3) months or four (4) months, as selected from time to time by the Borrower Representative requesting such LIBOR Rate Loan by irrevocable notice (in writing, by telecopy, telex, electronic mail or cable) given to Agent not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of each respective Interest Period. Interest shall be payable on the last Business Day of each month in arrears and on the last Business Day of such Interest Period.

(iii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Loans shall bear interest at the rate of two percent (2.0%) per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable thereon, which interest shall be payable on demand. All interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year.

(b) Other LIBOR Provisions.

(i) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower Representative, on behalf of each Borrower, shall have the option (A) as of any date, to convert all or any part of the Prime Rate Loans to, or request that new Loans be made as, LIBOR Rate Loans of various Interest Periods, (B) as of the last day of any Interest Period, to continue all or any portion of the relevant LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans; (C) as of the last day of any Interest Period, to convert all or any portion of the LIBOR Rate Loans to Prime Rate Loans; and (D) at any time, to request new Loans as Prime Rate Loans; provided, that Loans may not be continued as or converted to LIBOR Rate Loans, if the continuation or conversion thereof would violate the provisions of subsections 4(b)(ii) or 4(b)(iii) of this Agreement or if an Event of Default has occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Required Lenders, Borrower Representative, on behalf of each Borrower, shall not be permitted (A) as of any date, to convert all or any part of the Prime Rate Loans to, or request that new Loans be made as, LIBOR Rate Loans of various Interest Periods, or (B) as of the last day of any Interest Period, to continue all or any portion of any LIBOR Rate Loans as a LIBOR Rate Loan to the extent the expiration of such continued LIBOR Rate Loan’s Interest Period occurs after such LIBOR Rate Loan’s LIBOR Termination Date.

(ii) Agent’s determination of the LIBOR Rate as provided above shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Furthermore, if Agent or any Lender determines, in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error), prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that (A) U.S. Dollar deposits of sufficient amount and maturity for funding the Loans are not available to Agent or such Lender in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, or (B) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the rate of interest to be applicable to the Loans

requested by Borrower Representative to be LIBOR Rate Loans or the Loans bearing interest at the rates set forth in subsection 4(a)(ii) of this Agreement shall not represent the effective pricing to such Lender for U.S. Dollar deposits of a comparable amount for the relevant period (such as for example, but not limited to, official reserve requirements required by Regulation D to the extent not given effect in determining the rate), Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and (1) all existing LIBOR Rate Loans shall convert to Prime Rate Loans upon the end of the applicable Interest Period, and (2) no additional LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made until such circumstances are cured.

(iii) If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, regulation or guideline or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority having jurisdiction over Agent or any Lender or its lending offices (a “Regulatory Change”), shall, in the opinion of counsel to Agent or such Lender, make it unlawful for Agent or such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, then Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and (A) the LIBOR Rate Loans shall immediately convert to Prime Rate Loans on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period or on such earlier date as required by law and (B) no additional LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made until such circumstance is cured.

(iv) If, for any reason, a LIBOR Rate Loan is paid prior to the last Business Day of any Interest Period or if a LIBOR Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified by the Borrower Representative in its request (other than as a result of a default by Agent or a Lender), each Borrower agrees to indemnify Agent and each Lender against any loss (including any loss on redeployment of the deposits or other funds acquired by Agent or such Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan) cost or expense incurred by Agent or such Lender as a result of such prepayment.

(v) If any Regulatory Change (whether or not having the force of law) shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, Agent or any Lender; (B) subject Agent or any Lender or the LIBOR Rate Loans to any Tax or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or any Lender of principal or interest due from a Borrower to Agent or such Lender hereunder (other than a change in the taxation of the overall net income of Agent or such Lender); or (C) impose on Agent or any Lender any other condition regarding the LIBOR Rate Loans or Agent’s or any Lender’s funding thereof, and Agent or any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive, absent any manifest error) that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or such Lender of making or maintaining the LIBOR Rate Loans or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by Agent or such Lender hereunder, then Borrowers shall pay to such party, on demand, such additional amounts as such party shall, from time to time, determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify such party from such increased cost or reduced amount.

(vi) Each of Agent and each Lender shall receive payments of amounts of principal of and interest with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans free and clear of, and

without deduction for, any Taxes. If (A) Agent or any Lender shall be subject to any Tax in respect of any LIBOR Rate Loans or any part thereof or, (B) Borrowers shall be required to withhold or deduct any Tax from any such amount, the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be adjusted by Agent or such Lender to reflect all additional costs incurred by Agent or such Lender in connection with the payment by Agent or such Lender or the withholding by a Borrower of such Tax and Borrower Representative shall provide Agent or such Lender with a statement detailing the amount of any such Tax actually paid by Borrowers. Determination by Agent or any Lender of the amount of such costs shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If after any such adjustment any part of any Tax paid by Agent or any Lender is subsequently recovered by Agent or such Lender, such party shall reimburse Borrowers to the extent of the amount so recovered. A certificate of an officer of Agent or any Lender setting forth the amount of such recovery and the basis therefor shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(vii) Each request for LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), and in integral multiples of, One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

(viii) Unless otherwise specified by Borrower Representative, all Loans shall be Prime Rate Loans.

(ix) No more than five (5) Interest Periods may be in effect with respect to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans at any one time.

(i) Amendment and Restatement Fee: On the date hereof, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an amendment fee of Fifty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($55,000.00), which fee shall be fully earned by Lenders on the date of this amendment.

(ii) Unused Line Fee: Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an unused line fee of one-fourth of one percent (1/4th of 1%) of the difference between the Maximum Revolving Loan Limit and the average daily balance of the Revolving Loans plus the Letter of Credit Obligations for each month, which fee shall be fully earned by Lenders and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month. Said fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year.

(iii) Reserved,

(iv) Costs and Expenses: Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (whether for internal or outside counsel), incurred by Agent in connection with the (i) documentation and consummation of this transaction and any other transactions among Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code and other public record searches and filings, overnight courier or other

express or messenger delivery, appraisal costs, surveys, title insurance and environmental audit or review costs; (ii) collection, protection or enforcement of any rights in or to the Collateral; (iii) collection of any Liabilities; and (iv) administration and enforcement of any of Agent’s and/or any Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any Other Agreement (including, without limitation, any costs and expenses of any third party provider engaged by Agent for such purposes). Borrowers shall also pay all normal service charges with respect to all accounts maintained by each Borrower with BofA and any additional services requested by a Borrower from BofA. All such costs, expenses and charges shall, if owed to BofA, be reimbursed by Agent and Lenders and in such event, or in the event such costs and expenses are owed to Agent or a Lender, shall constitute Liabilities hereunder, shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent on demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Loans hereunder. In addition, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender for all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such Lender in connection with the (i) collection, protection or enforcement of any rights in or to the Collateral; (ii) collection of any Liabilities; and (iii) administration and enforcement of any of Lenders’ rights under this Agreement.

(v) Capital Adequacy Charge. If Agent or any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Agent or such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or governmental authority enacted after the date hereof, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such party’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Agent or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such party’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by a material amount, then from time to time, after submission by Agent to Borrower Representative of a written demand therefor (“Capital Adequacy Demand”) together with the certificate described below, Borrowers shall pay to such party such additional amount or amounts (“Capital Adequacy Charge”) as will compensate such party for such reduction, such Capital Adequacy Demand to be made with reasonable promptness following such determination. A certificate of Agent or such Lender claiming entitlement to payment as set forth above shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Such certificate shall set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such reduction, the amount of the Capital Adequacy Charge to be paid to Agent or such Lender, and the method by which such amount was determined. In determining such amount, the applicable party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method, applied on a non-discriminatory basis.

(d) Maximum Interest. It is the intent of the parties that the rate of interest and other charges to each Borrower under this Agreement and the Other Agreements shall be lawful; therefore, if for any reason the interest or other charges payable under this Agreement are found by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final determination, to exceed the limit which Agent or any Lender may lawfully charge such Borrower, then the obligation to pay interest and other charges shall automatically be reduced to such limit and, if any amount in excess of such limit shall have been paid, then such amount shall be refunded to such Borrower.

5. COLLATERAL.

(a) Grant of Security Interest to Agent. As security for the payment of all Loans now or in the future made by Agent and Lenders to Borrowers hereunder and for the payment or other satisfaction of all other Liabilities, each Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms its prior assignment and grant to Agent and further assigns to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and grants to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, a continuing security interest in the following property of such Borrower, whether now or hereafter owned, existing, acquired or arising and wherever now or hereafter located: (a) all Accounts (whether or not Eligible Accounts) and all Goods whose sale, lease or other disposition by such Borrower has given rise to Accounts and have been returned to, or repossessed or stopped in transit by, such Borrower; (b) all Chattel Paper, Instruments, Documents and General Intangibles (including, without limitation, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, trade secrets, goodwill, copyrights, copyright applications, registrations, licenses, software, franchises, customer lists, tax refund claims, claims against carriers and shippers, guarantee claims, contract rights, payment intangibles, security interests, security deposits and rights to indemnification); (c) all Inventory (whether or not Eligible Inventory); (d) all Goods (other than Inventory), including, without limitation, Equipment, vehicles and Fixtures; (e) all Investment Property; (f) all Deposit Accounts, bank accounts, deposits and cash; (g) all Letter-of-Credit Rights; (h) Commercial Tort Claims listed on Exhibit C hereto, (i) any other property of such Borrower now or hereafter in the possession, custody or control of Agent or any Lender or any agent or any parent, affiliate or subsidiary of Agent or any Lender or any participant with any Lender in the Loans, for any purpose (whether for safekeeping, deposit, collection, custody, pledge, transmission or otherwise) and (j) all additions and accessions to, substitutions for, and replacements, products and Proceeds of the foregoing property, including, without limitation, proceeds of all insurance policies insuring the foregoing property, and all of such Borrower’s books and records relating to any of the foregoing and to such Borrower’s business.

All sums paid by Agent in respect thereof and all costs, fees and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorney fees, all court costs and all other charges relating thereto incurred by Agent shall constitute Liabilities, payable by Borrowers to Agent on demand and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Loans hereunder.

(c) Possessory Collateral. Immediately upon a Borrower’s receipt of any portion of the Collateral evidenced by an agreement, Instrument or Document, including, without limitation, any Tangible Chattel Paper and any Investment Property consisting of certificated securities, such Borrower shall deliver the original thereof to Agent together with an appropriate endorsement or other specific evidence of assignment thereof to Agent (in form and substance acceptable to Agent). If an endorsement or assignment of any such items shall not be made for any reason, Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized, as each Borrower’s attorney and agent-in-fact, to endorse or assign the same on such Borrower’s behalf.

(d) Electronic Chattel Paper. To the extent that a Borrower obtains or maintains any Electronic Chattel Paper, such Borrower shall create, store and assign the record or records comprising the Electronic Chattel Paper in such a manner that (i) a single authoritative copy of the record or records exists which is unique, identifiable and except as otherwise provided in clauses (iv), (v) and (vi) below, unalterable, (ii) the authoritative copy identifies Agent as the assignee of the record or records, (iii) the authoritative copy is communicated to and maintained by the Agent or its designated custodian, (iv) copies or revisions that add or change an identified assignee of the authoritative copy can only be made with the participation of Agent, (v) each copy of the authoritative copy and any copy of a copy is readily identifiable as a copy that is not the authoritative copy and (vi) any revision of the authoritative copy is readily identifiable as an authorized or unauthorized revision.

(e) Release of Subsidiary Borrower Liens. So long as no Event of Default is then in existence, at such time as all Liabilities of each Subsidiary Borrower shall have been repaid in full and neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any commitment to lend or other obligation to such Subsidiary Borrowers, then (x) Agent shall, upon request, release its liens on the assets of such Subsidiary Borrowers and (y) at such time as Agent releases its liens, the Subsidiary Borrowers shall no longer be considered Borrowers hereunder and Agent shall have no claims against such Subsidiary Borrowers except with respect to claims thereafter arising under Section 24 hereunder.

6. PRESERVATION OF COLLATERAL AND PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS THEREIN.

Each Borrower shall, at Agent’s request, at any time and from time to time, authenticate, execute and deliver to Agent such financing statements, documents and other agreements and instruments (and pay the cost of filing or recording the same in all public offices deemed necessary or desirable by Agent) and do such other acts and things or cause third parties to do such other acts and things as Agent may deem necessary or desirable in its sole discretion in order to establish and maintain a valid, attached and perfected security interest in the Collateral in favor of Agent (free and clear of all other liens, claims, encumbrances and rights of third parties whatsoever, whether voluntarily or involuntarily created, except Permitted Liens) to secure payment of the Liabilities, and in order to facilitate the collection of the Collateral. Each Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent for that purpose) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact to execute and file such financing statements, documents and other agreements and instruments and do such other acts and things as may be necessary to preserve and perfect Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. Each Borrower further agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of a financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. Each Borrower further ratifies and confirms the prior filing by Agent of any and all financing statements which identify such Borrower as debtor, Agent as secured party and any or all Collateral as collateral.

7. POSSESSION OF COLLATERAL AND RELATED MATTERS.

Until an Event of Default has occurred, each Borrower shall have the right, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the ordinary course of such Borrower’s business, to

(a) sell, lease or furnish under contracts of service any of such Borrower’s Inventory normally held by such Borrower for any such purpose; and (b) use and consume any raw materials, work in process or other materials normally held by such Borrower for such purpose; provided, however, that a sale in the ordinary course of business shall not include any transfer or sale in satisfaction, partial or complete, of a debt owed by such Borrower.

8. COLLECTIONS.

(a) Borrowers shall direct all of their Account Debtors to make all payments on the Accounts directly to one or more post office box(s) (each, a “Lock Box”) designated by, and under the exclusive control of, Agent, at one or more financial institution(s) acceptable to Agent. Borrowers shall establish one or more accounts (each, a “Dominion Account”) in Borrower’s name, for the Benefit of Agent, with a financial institution acceptable to Agent, into which all payments received in the Lock Box(es) shall be deposited, and into which Borrowers will immediately deposit all payments received by Borrowers on Accounts in the identical form in which such payments were received, whether by cash or check. If Borrowers, any Affiliate or Subsidiary, any shareholder, officer, director, employee or agent of Borrowers or any Affiliate or Subsidiary, or any other Person acting for or in concert with Borrowers shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to or as Proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, Borrowers and each such Person shall receive all such items in trust for Agent and, immediately upon receipt thereof, shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to such Dominion Account. The financial institution with which a Dominion Account is established shall acknowledge and agree, in a manner satisfactory to Agent, that (x) such financial institution has no right to setoff against the Lock Box or Dominion Account or against any other account maintained by such financial institution into which the contents of the Lock Box or Dominion Account are transferred and (y) during the existence of a Trigger Period, such financial institution will follow the instructions of Lender with respect to disposition of funds in the Lock Box and such Dominion Account without further consent from Borrowers, including without limitation that such financial institution shall wire, or otherwise transfer in immediately available funds to Agent in a manner satisfactory to Agent, funds deposited in such Dominion Account on a daily basis as such funds are collected. Borrowers agree that all payments made to such Dominion Account or otherwise received by Agent, whether in respect of the Accounts or as Proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise (except for proceeds of Collateral which are required to be delivered to the holder of a Permitted Lien which is prior in right of payment), may, at the election of the Agent during the existence of a Trigger Period, be the sole and exclusive property of Agent and shall be applied on account of the Liabilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If no Trigger Period is then continuing, Borrowers may access the funds in such Dominion Account and may, at its discretion, cause all or any portion of the funds in such Dominion Account to be paid to Agent for application to the Liabilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowers agree to pay all customary fees, costs and expenses in connection with opening and maintaining the Lock Box(es) and such Dominion Account. All of such fees, costs and expenses if not paid by Borrowers may be paid by Agent and in such event all amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Liabilities hereunder, shall be payable to Agent by Borrowers upon demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the default rate applicable to the Revolving Loans hereunder. All checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or Proceeds of Collateral required to be delivered to Agent hereunder shall be endorsed by Borrowers to Agent, and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason,

Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on Borrowers’ behalf. For purpose of this section, Borrowers irrevocably hereby make, constitute and appoint Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent for that purpose) as Borrowers’ true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact during the continuance of an Event of Default (i) to endorse Borrowers’ names upon said items of payment and/or Proceeds of Collateral and upon any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any Account of Borrowers or Goods pertaining thereto; (ii) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or Proceeds thereof and (iii) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any of Borrowers’ mail is deposited, and open and process all mail addressed to Borrowers and deposited therein.

(b) Agent may at any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether before or after notification to any Account Debtor and whether before or after the maturity of any of the Liabilities, (i) enforce collection of any of Borrowers’ Accounts or other amounts owed to such Borrower by suit or otherwise; (ii) exercise all of Borrowers’ rights and remedies with respect to proceedings brought to collect any Accounts or other amounts owed to such Borrower; (iii) surrender, release or exchange all or any part of any Accounts or other amounts owed to such Borrower, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any indebtedness thereunder; (iv) sell or assign any Account of such Borrower or other amount owed to such Borrower upon such terms, for such amount and at such time or times as Agent deems advisable; (v) prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or other similar document against any Account Debtor or other Person obligated to such Borrower; and (vi) do all other acts and things which are necessary, in Agent’s sole discretion, to fulfill such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement and the Other Agreements and to allow Agent to collect the Accounts or other amounts owed to such Borrower. In addition to any other provision hereof, Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at Borrowers’ expense, notify any parties obligated on any of the Accounts to make payment directly to Agent of any amounts due or to become due thereunder.

(c) For purposes of determining the amount of Loans available for borrowing purposes, during the existence of a Trigger Period, the ledger balance in the main Dominion Account held at BofA or by Agent as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Liabilities at the beginning of the next Business Day, provided that absent the existence of a Trigger Period, any such application by Agent of the ledger balance in the Dominion Account to the Liabilities shall be at the beginning of the next Business Day following Borrowers’ direction to make such application. However, solely for purposes of computing interest hereunder, in addition to Agent’s standard fees and charges relating to the Dominion Account, any application by Agent of such ledger balance to the Liabilities shall be deemed to be made on the same Business Day as application to the Liabilities set forth in the preceding sentence. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Event of Default exists. Borrowers irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Liabilities, in such manner as Agent deems advisable, notwithstanding any entry by Agent in its records.

(iii) Litigation and Proceedings. Promptly upon becoming aware thereof, notify Agent of any actions or proceedings which are pending or threatened against any Borrower which might have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower and of any Commercial Tort Claims of such Borrower which may arise, which notice shall constitute such Borrower’s authorization to amend Exhibit C to add such Commercial Tort Claim.

All of the foregoing notices shall be provided by Borrower Representative to Agent in writing.

(c) Compliance with Laws and Maintenance of Permits. Each Borrower shall maintain all governmental consents, franchises, certificates, licenses, authorizations, approvals and permits, the lack of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower and each Borrower shall remain in compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign statutes, orders, regulations, rules and ordinances (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws and statutes, orders, regulations, rules and ordinances relating to taxes, employer and employee contributions and similar items, securities, ERISA or employee health and safety) the failure with which to comply would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower. Following any determination by Agent that there is non-compliance, or any condition which requires any action by or on behalf of a Borrower in order to avoid non-compliance, with any Environmental Law, in each case where such non compliance would have a Material Adverse Effect on such Borrower, at such Borrower’s expense cause an independent environmental engineer acceptable to Agent to conduct such tests of the relevant site(s) as are appropriate and prepare and deliver a report setting forth the results of such tests, a proposed plan for remediation and an estimate of the costs thereof.

Each Borrower shall permit Agent and Lenders, or any Persons designated by Agent, to call at such Borrower’s places of business at any reasonable times, and, without hindrance or delay, to inspect the Collateral and to inspect, audit, check and make extracts from such Borrower’s books, records, journals, orders, receipts and any correspondence and other data relating to such Borrower’s business, the Collateral or any transactions between the parties hereto, and shall have the right to make such verification

concerning such Borrower’s business as Agent may consider reasonable under the circumstances. Each Borrower shall furnish to Agent such information relevant to Agent’s and/or any Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the Other Agreements as Agent shall at any time and from time to time request. Agent, through its officers, employees or agents shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, in Agent’s name, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any of such Borrower’s Accounts, by mail, telephone, telecopy, electronic mail, or otherwise. Each Borrower authorizes Agent and Lenders to discuss the affairs, finances and business of such Borrower with any officers, employees or directors of such Borrower or with its Parent or any Affiliate or the officers, employees or directors of its Parent or any Affiliate, and to discuss the financial condition of such Borrower with such Borrower’s independent public accountants. Any such discussions shall be without liability to Agent or any Lender or to Borrowers’ independent public accountants. Borrowers shall pay to Agent all customary fees and all costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent in the exercise of its rights hereunder, and all of such fees, costs and expenses shall constitute Liabilities hereunder, shall be payable on demand and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Loans hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has occurred, the Agent shall be limited to two (2) inspections per calendar year.

(e) Insurance. Each Borrower shall:

(i) Keep the Collateral properly housed and insured for the full insurable value thereof against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, collision (in the case of motor vehicles) and such other risks as are customarily insured against by Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of such Borrower, with such companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and under policies in such form, as shall be satisfactory to Agent. Original (or certified) copies of such policies of insurance have been or shall be, within ninety (90) days of the date hereof, delivered to Agent, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor, and shall contain an endorsement, in form and substance acceptable to Agent, showing loss under such insurance policies payable to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to Agent, shall provide that the insurance company shall give Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy of insurance is altered or canceled and that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of such Borrower or any other Person shall affect the right of Agent to recover under such policy of insurance in case of loss or damage. In addition, each Borrower shall cause to be executed and delivered to Agent an assignment of proceeds of its business interruption insurance policies. Each Borrower hereby directs all insurers under all policies of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder in excess of $100,000.00 for any occurrence directly to Agent, such proceeds to be applied on account of the Liabilities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any proceeds of insurance paid directly to Borrowers shall be used by Borrowers to repair or restore the damaged or lost property which gave rise to the insurance claim. Each Borrower irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Agent) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Borrower on any check, draft, instrument or other item of

payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance.

(ii) Maintain, at its expense, such public liability and third party property damage insurance as is customary for Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of such Borrower with such companies and in such amounts, with such deductibles and under policies in such form as shall be satisfactory to Agent and original (or certified) copies of such policies have been or shall be, within ninety (90) days after the date hereof, delivered to Agent, together with evidence of payment of all premiums therefor; each such policy shall contain an endorsement showing Agent and Lenders as additional insureds thereunder and providing that the insurance company shall give Agent at least thirty (30) days written notice before any such policy shall be altered or canceled.

If a Borrower at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium relating thereto, then Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by Borrowers hereunder, may (but shall be under no obligation to) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take such other actions with respect thereto as Agent deems advisable. Such insurance, if obtained by Agent, may, but need not, protect such Borrower’s interests or pay any claim made by or against such Borrower with respect to the Collateral. Such insurance may be more expensive than the cost of insurance such Borrower may be able to obtain on its own and may be cancelled only upon Borrower Representative providing evidence that it has obtained the insurance as required above. All sums disbursed by Agent in connection with any such actions, including, without limitation, court costs, expenses, other charges relating thereto and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall constitute Loans hereunder, shall be payable on demand by Borrowers to Agent and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Loans hereunder.

(f) Collateral. Each Borrower shall keep the Collateral in good condition, repair and order and shall make all necessary repairs to the Equipment and replacements thereof so that the operating efficiency and the value thereof shall at all times be preserved and maintained. Each Borrower shall permit Agent and Lenders to examine any of the Collateral at any time and wherever the Collateral may be located and, each Borrower shall, immediately upon request therefor by Agent, deliver to Agent any and all evidence of ownership of any of the Equipment including, without limitation, certificates of title and applications of title. Each Borrower shall, at the request of Agent, indicate on its records concerning the Collateral a notation, in form satisfactory to Agent, of the security interest of Agent hereunder.

(g) Use of Proceeds. All monies and other property obtained by a Borrower from Agent and Lenders pursuant to this Agreement shall be used solely for business purposes of such Borrower.

(h) Taxes. Each Borrower shall file all required tax returns and pay all of its taxes when due, including, without limitation, taxes imposed by federal, state or municipal agencies, and shall cause any liens for taxes to be promptly released; provided, that such Borrower shall have the right to contest the payment of such taxes in good faith by appropriate proceedings so long as (i) the amount so contested is shown on such Borrower’s financial statements; (ii) the contesting of any such payment does not give rise to a lien for taxes; (iii) such

Borrower keeps on deposit with Agent (such deposit to be held without interest) an amount of money which, in the sole judgment of Agent, is sufficient to pay such taxes and any interest or penalties that may accrue thereon; and (iv) if such Borrower fails to prosecute such contest with reasonable diligence, Agent may apply the money so deposited in payment of such taxes. If a Borrower fails to pay any such taxes and in the absence of any such contest by such Borrower, Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to) advance and pay any sums required to pay any such taxes and/or to secure the release of any lien therefor, and any sums so advanced by Agent shall constitute Loans hereunder, shall be payable by such Borrower to Agent on demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to Loans hereunder.

(i) Intellectual Property. Each Borrower shall maintain adequate licenses, patents, patent applications, copyrights, service marks, trademarks, trademark applications, tradestyles and trade names to continue its business as heretofore conducted by it or as hereafter conducted by it.

(j) Checking Accounts and Cash Management Services. Borrowers shall maintain their general checking and controlled disbursement accounts with BofA. Normal charges shall be assessed thereon. Although no compensating balance is required, each Borrower must keep monthly balances in order to merit earnings credits which will cover BofA’s service charges for demand deposit account activities. In addition, Borrowers shall enter into agreements with BofA for standard cash management services. Borrowers shall be responsible for all normal charges assessed thereon.

(k) Patriot Act, Bank Secrecy Act and Office of Foreign Assets Control. As required by federal law and the Agent’s, BofA’s and each Lender’s policies and practices, the Agent, BofA and each Lender may need to obtain, verify and record certain customer identification information and documentation in connection with opening or maintaining accounts, or establishing or continuing to provide services and each Borrower agrees to provide such information. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing sentence, each Borrower shall (a) ensure, and cause each Subsidiary to ensure, that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls any Borrower or any Subsidiary is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Orders, (b) not use or permit the use of the proceeds of the Loans to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (c) comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) laws and regulations, as amended.

16. REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subsection 15(g) hereof, all of the Liabilities shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice of any kind. Upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, all Liabilities may, at the option of Requisite Lenders, and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared, and immediately shall become, due and payable.

(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any of the Other Agreements and all of Agent’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive to the extent permitted by law. In particular, but not by way of limitation of the foregoing, Agent may, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which it already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may enter onto any of Borrowers’ premises where any of the Collateral may be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of, and Agent shall have the right to store the same at any of Borrowers’ premises without cost to Agent or Lenders. At Agent’s request, each Borrower shall, at Borrowers’ expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at one or more places to be designated by Agent and reasonably convenient to Agent and such Borrower. Each Borrower recognizes that if a Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Liabilities under this Agreement or the Other Agreements, no remedy at law will provide adequate relief to Agent and Lenders, and agrees that Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. Any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral required by law will be deemed to be a reasonable authenticated notification of disposition if given at least ten (10) days prior to such disposition and such notice shall (i) describe Agent and the applicable Borrower(s), (ii) describe the Collateral that is the subject to the intended disposition, (iii) state

the method of the intended disposition, (iv) state that the applicable Borrower(s) is entitled to an accounting of the Liabilities and state the charge, if any, for an accounting and (v) state the time and place of any public disposition or the time after which any private sale is to be made. Agent and Lenders may disclaim any warranties that might arise in connection with the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral and has no obligation to provide any warranties at such time. Any Proceeds of any disposition by Agent of any of the Collateral may be applied by Agent to the payment of expenses in connection with the Collateral, including, without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and any balance of such Proceeds may be applied by Agent toward the payment of such of the Liabilities, and in such order of application, as Agent may from time to time elect; provided, however, principal and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be fully satisfied prior to applying such proceeds to Borrowers’ Rate Hedging Obligations owed to BofA.

17. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

The obligation of Agent and Lenders to fund the initial Revolving Loan, and to issue or cause to be issued the initial Letter of Credit, is subject to the satisfaction or waiver on or before the date hereof of the following conditions precedent:

(a) Agent shall have received each of the agreements, opinions, reports, approvals, consents, certificates and other documents set forth on the closing document list attached hereto as Schedule 17(a) (the “Closing Document List”) in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Agent;

(b) Since December 31, 2010, no event shall have occurred which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Obligor, as determined by Agent or Requisite Lenders in its sole discretion;

(c) Agent shall have received payment in full of all fees and expenses payable to it by Borrowers or any other Person in connection herewith, on or before disbursement of the initial Loans hereunder; and

(d) The Obligors shall have executed and delivered to Agent all such other documents, instruments and agreements which Agent determines are reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

18. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all Liabilities of each Borrower hereunder shall be joint and several obligations of Borrowers.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that the joint and several nature of the Liabilities of Borrowers and the liens and security interests granted by Borrowers to secure the Liabilities, not constitute a “Fraudulent Conveyance” (as defined below). Consequently, Agent and Borrowers agree that if the Liabilities of a Borrower, or any liens or security interests granted by such Borrower securing the Liabilities would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, the Liabilities of such Borrower and the liens and security interests securing such Liabilities shall

be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such Liabilities or such lien or security interest to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and the Liabilities of such Borrower and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly. For purposes hereof, “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of Title II of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. Subsection 101, et seq.), as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law or similar law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time.

(c) Each Borrower assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the each other Borrower, and any and all endorsers and/or guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of such other Borrower’s Liabilities and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment by such other Borrowers of their Liabilities and each Borrower agrees that Agent or Lenders shall not have any duty to advise such Borrower of information known to Agent or Lenders regarding such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine. If Agent or any Lender, in their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Borrower, Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall not be under any obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to such Borrower on any subsequent occasion.

(d) Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of a Borrower hereunder, to, at any time and from time to time, (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to a Borrower’s Liabilities or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by a Borrower and delivered to Agent or the Lenders; (ii) accept partial payments on a Borrower’s Liabilities; (iii) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of a Borrower’s Liabilities hereunder or for the payment of any guaranties of a Borrower’s Liabilities or other liabilities of a Borrower and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (iv) apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Agent, in its sole discretion, may determine; and (v) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate a Borrower’s Liabilities and any security or collateral therefor in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of the other Borrowers. Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from a Borrower or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on such Borrower. All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of a Borrower’s Liabilities as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Liabilities of the other Borrowers.

(e) Each Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (i) the absence of any attempt to collect a Borrower’s Liabilities from any Borrower or any guarantor or other action to enforce the same; (ii) the waiver or consent by Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing Borrowers’ Liabilities, or any part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower and delivered to Agent or any Lender; (iii) failure by Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to

preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for Borrowers’ Liabilities; (iv) the institution of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against a Borrower or Agent’s election in any such proceeding of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Borrower as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Agent’s or any Lender’s claim(s) for repayment of any of Borrowers’ Liabilities; or (vii) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

(f) No payment made by or for the account of a Borrower including, without limitations, (i) a payment made by such Borrower on behalf of another Borrower’s Liabilities or (ii) a payment made by any other person under any guaranty, shall entitle such Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Borrower or from or out of such other Borrower’s property and such Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy against such other Borrower or any property of such other Borrower by reason of any performance of such Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder.

19. SETTLEMENTS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS.

On a weekly basis (or more frequently if requested by Agent (a “Settlement Date”), Agent shall provide each Lender with a statement of the outstanding balance of the Liabilities as of the end of the Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date (the “Pre-Settlement Determination Date”) and the current balance of the Loans funded by each Lender (whether made directly by such Lender to Borrowers or constituting a settlement by such Lender of a previous Disproportionate Advance made by Agent on behalf of such Lender to Borrowers). If such statement discloses that such Lender’s current balance of the Loans as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Liabilities outstanding as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date, then Agent shall, on the Settlement Date, transfer, by wire transfer, the net amount due to such Lender in accordance with such Lender’s instructions, and if such statement discloses that such Lender’s current balance of the Loans as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Liabilities outstanding as of the Pre-Settlement Determination Date, then such Lender shall, on the Settlement Date, transfer, by wire transfer the net amount due to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. In addition, payments actually received by Agent with respect to the following items shall be distributed by Agent to Lenders as follows:

(a) Within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof by Agent, payments to be applied to interest on the Loans shall be paid to each Lender in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, subject to any adjustments for any Disproportionate Advances as provided in subsection 2(a)(i), so that Agent shall receive interest on the Disproportion Advances and each Lender shall only receive interest on the amount of funds actually advanced by such Lender;

(b) Within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof by Agent, payments to be applied to the Letter of Credit fee set as provided in Section 3(a) hereof shall be paid to each Lender in proportion to its Pro Rata Share;

(c) Within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof by Agent, payments to be applied to the closing fee set forth in subsection 4(c)(i) hereof shall be paid to each Lender as follows: (66.67%) to BofA and (33.33%) to M&I Bank; and

(d) Within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof by Agent, payments to be applied to the unused line fee set forth in subsection 4(c)(ii) hereof shall be paid to each Lender in proportion to its Pro Rata Share; and

(e) Within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof by Agent, payments to be applied to the prepayment fee set forth in Section 10 hereof shall be paid to each Lender in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to any Defaulting Lender any payment made by Borrowers to Agent, nor shall such Defaulting Lender be entitled to share any interest, fees or other payment hereunder, until payment is made by such Defaulting Lender to Agent as required in this Agreement.

20. AGENT.

(a) Appointment of Agent.

(i) Each Lender hereby designates BofA as Agent to act as herein specified. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the notes and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) Nature of Duties of Agent. Agent shall not have duties, obligations or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Agreements.

The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the Other Agreements a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or the Other Agreements, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose

upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the Other Agreements except as expressly set forth herein.

(i) Independently and without reliance upon Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (A) its own independent investigation of the financial or other condition and affairs of Agent, each Obligor and any other Lender in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (B) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Agent, each Obligor and any other Lender, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter.

(ii) Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Other Agreements or any notes or the financial or other condition of any Obligor.

(e) Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be under no duty to examine, inquire into, or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any of the Other Agreements or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith.

Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Obligor with respect to matters concerning any Obligor), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or

omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

(f) Indemnification of Agent. To the extent Agent is not promptly reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The obligations of Lenders under this subsection 20(f) shall survive the payment in full of the Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement.

(g) Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the Loans made by it pursuant hereto, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a note or participation interest and may exercise the same as though it was not performing the duties specified herein; and the terms “Lenders,” “Requisite Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity.

(h) Holders of Notes. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any promissory note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any promissory note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such promissory note or of any promissory note or notes issued in exchange therefor.

(i) Successor Agent. Agent may, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to Lenders and Borrower Representative, resign at any time (effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 20(i)) by giving written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) days’ notice, to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by Requisite Lenders and accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then, upon five (5) days’ notice, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which

shall be a bank or a trust company or other financial institution which maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof, or any affiliate of such bank or trust company or

(i) other financial institution which is engaged in the banking business, having a combined capital and surplus of at least Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00).

(ii) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 20 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

(j) Collateral Matters.

(i) Each Lender authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Other Agreements for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Other Agreements, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Other Agreements which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements.

(ii) Agent will not, without the verbal consent of all Lenders, which consent shall (a) be confirmed promptly thereafter in writing and (b) not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, execute any release of Agent’s security interest in any Collateral except for releases relating to dispositions of Collateral (x) permitted by this Agreement and (y) in connection with the repayment in full of all of the Liabilities by Borrowers and the termination of all obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Agreements; provided, that with the consent of Requisite Lenders, Agent may release its liens on Collateral having a book value not greater than ten percent (10%) of the total book value of all Collateral, as determined by Agent, either in a single transaction or series of related transactions, not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the book value of all Collateral in any Fiscal Year. Agent shall not be required to execute any such release on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such liens without recourse or warranty. In the event of any sale or transfer of any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale or transfer.

(iii) Lenders hereby agree that the lien granted to Agent in any property sold or disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement shall be automatically released; provided, however that Agent’s lien shall attach to and continue for the benefit of Agent and Lenders in the proceeds and products of such property arising from any such sale or disposition.

(iv) To the extent, pursuant to the provisions of this subsection 20(j), Agent’s execution of a release is required to release its lien upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is consented to in writing by Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) business days’ prior written request by Borrower Representative, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred.

(v) Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrowers or any other Obligor or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted to Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 20 or in any of the Other Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(vi) In the event that any Lender receives any Proceeds of any Collateral by setoff, exercise of any banker’s lien or otherwise, in an amount in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Proceeds, such Lender shall purchase for cash (and other Lenders shall sell) interests in each of such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Liabilities as would be necessary to cause all Lenders to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall exercise any right of set off or banker’s lien without the prior written consent of Agent.

(k) Actions with Respect to Defaults. In addition to Agent’s right to take actions on its own accord as permitted under this Agreement, Agent shall take such action with respect to an Event of Default as shall be directed by Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, under this Agreement; provided, that until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of Lenders. No Lender shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or any Other Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral, unless instructed to do so by Agent.

(l) Delivery of Information. Agent shall not be required to deliver to any Lender originals or copies of any documents, instruments, notices, communications or other information received by Agent from any Borrower or any other Obligor, Requisite Lenders, any Lender or any other Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any Other Agreement except (i) as specifically provided in this Agreement or any Other Agreement and (ii) as specifically requested from time to time in writing by any Lender with respect to a specific document, instrument, notice or other written communication received by and in the possession of Agent at the time of receipt of such request and then only in accordance with such specific request.

(m) Demand. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Agent shall make demand for repayment by Borrowers of all Liabilities owing by Borrowers hereunder, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, upon the written request of Requisite Lenders. Agent shall make such demand in such manner as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, to effectuate the request of the Requisite Lenders. Nothing contained herein shall limit the discretion of Agent to take reserves, to deem certain Accounts and Inventory ineligible, or to exercise any other discretion granted to Agent in this Agreement.

(n) Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or any event which, with passage of time or giving of notice, could become an Event of Default, except with respect to Events of Default arising as a result of any Borrower failure to pay principal, interest or fees required to be paid to Agent for the benefit of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower Representative describing such Event of Default or event which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, could become an Event of Default, and which identifies such event as a “notice of default”. Upon receipt of any such notice or Agent becoming aware of Borrower’s failure to pay principal, interest or fees required to be paid to Agent for the benefit of Lenders, Agent will notify each Lender of such receipt.

21. ASSIGNABILITY.

(a) Borrowers shall not have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest therein except with the prior written consent of Agent and all Lenders.

(b) Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of, any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in increased costs to Borrowers.

(c) Each Lender may, with the consent of Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but without the consent of any other Lender nor Borrower Representative, assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Agreements; provided, that (i) for each such assignment, the parties thereto shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Assignment and Acceptance”), and a processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) to be paid by the assignee, and (ii) no such assignment shall be for less than Five Million and No/100

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance shall be available for inspection by Borrowers, Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(h) Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of Borrowers and Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or other Liabilities under the securities laws of the United States of America or of any jurisdiction.

(i) In connection with the efforts of any Lender to assign its rights or obligations or to participate interests, such Lender may disclose any information in its possession regarding Borrowers.

22. AMENDMENTS, ETC.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements, nor consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Requisite Lenders, or if Lenders shall not be parties thereto, by the parties thereto and consented to by Requisite Lenders, and each such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all Lenders, do any of the following: (i) increase the Revolving Loan Commitments of Lenders or subject Lenders to any additional obligations to extend credit to Borrowers, (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans (other than as expressly permitted herein) or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone any date fixed for any payment in respect of principal of, or interest on, the Loan or any fees hereunder, (iv) change the Pro Rata Shares of Lenders, or any minimum requirement necessary for Lenders or Requisite Lenders to take any

action hereunder, (v) amend or waive this Section 22, or change the definition of Requisite Lenders, (vi) increase the advance rates set forth in subsection 2(a) hereof or (vii) except in connection with the financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of any asset of Borrowers permitted under this Agreement (or to the extent Requisite Lender approval only is required with any such release pursuant to subsection 20(j) hereof), release or subordinate any liens in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, on any of the Collateral and provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any Other Agreement shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by Agent in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, (a) for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the Other Agreements, a Defaulting Lender shall not be considered a Lender and such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment shall each be deemed to be $0 until such Defaulting Lender makes the payments required in this Agreement and (b) the consent of Borrowers shall not be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions of this Section 22.

In the event that any consent, waiver or amendment requiring the agreement of all Lenders as set forth above is agreed to by the Requisite Lenders, but not all Lenders, Agent may, in its sole discretion, cause any non-consenting Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Agreements to one or more new Lenders or existing Lenders in the manner and according to the terms set forth in Section 21 of this Agreement; provided, that (i) no Lender may be required to assign its rights and obligations to a new Lender because such lender is unwilling to increase its own loan commitments, (ii) such new Lender must be willing to consent to the proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iii) in connection with such assignment the new Lender pays the assigning Lender an amount equal to the Liabilities owing to such assigning Lender, including all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and an unpaid fees to the date of assignment. Such assignment shall occur within thirty (30) days of notice by Agent to such non-consenting Lender of Agent’s intent to cause such non-consenting Lender to assign its interests hereunder.

23. NONLIABILITY OF AGENT AND LENDERS.

The relationship between Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall be solely that of borrowers and lender. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to Borrowers.

24. INDEMNIFICATION.

Borrowers agrees to defend (with counsel satisfactory to Agent), protect, indemnify and hold harmless Agent and each Lender, each affiliate or subsidiary of Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, the disbursements and the reasonable fees of counsel for each Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), which may

be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local laws or regulations, including, without limitation, securities laws and regulations, Environmental Laws and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, or based on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Agreement, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making or issuance and the management of the Loans or any Letters of Credit or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or any Letters of Credit; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrowers shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Indemnified Party on demand, and, failing prompt payment, shall, together with interest thereon at the highest rate then applicable to Loans hereunder from the date incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid by Borrowers, be added to the Liabilities of Borrowers and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of this Section 24 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Liabilities and the termination of this Agreement.

Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, or by facsimile transmission at facsimile number (000) 000-0000. Failure of Agent to provide a copy of such process shall not impair Agent’s rights hereunder, create a cause of action against Agent or create any claim or right on behalf of Borrower or any third party. EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRANSFER OR CHANGE THE VENUE OF ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT AGAINST SUCH BORROWER BY AGENT OR LENDERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION.

directors, officers, employees, attorneys, affiliates, assignees, participants, auditors, agents and regulators, to Agent and any other Lender and upon the order of a court or other governmental agency having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender or such affiliate, to any other party. In addition such information and other credit information may be distributed by Agent or any Lender to potential participants or assignees of any portion of the Liabilities, provided, that such potential participant or assignee agrees to follow the confidentiality requirements set forth herein.

30. COUNTERPARTS.

This Agreement, any of the Other Agreements and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.

(e) Agent’s and/or Lenders’ failure, at any time or times hereafter, to require strict performance by a Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith. Any suspension or waiver by Agent or any Lender of an Event of Default under this Agreement or any default under any of the Other Agreements shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default under this Agreement or any other default under any of the Other Agreements, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different kind or character. No delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any Other Agreement shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right or remedy.
