THE FACILITY

Section 2.1 The Revolving Credit Commitments

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each a "Revolving Loan") to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding for all such loans by such Lender such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that at no time shall any Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan (i) in excess of such Lender's Ratable Portion of the Available Credit, (ii) to the extent that the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings, after giving effect to such Revolving Loan, would exceed the Maximum Credit in effect at such time and (iii) to the extent that, in the case of any Borrower, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings owing by such Borrower would exceed the Borrowing Base of such Borrower at such time. Within the limits of each Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1.

(b) At any time after the EFTC Joinder Date, the Borrowers may request the Lenders to provide additional Revolving Credit Commitments in an amount up to $50,000,000 (the "Facility Increase"); provided, however, that (i) the Borrowers shall have given the Administrative Agent at least 60 days prior written notice of its intention to effect a Facility Increase and the desired amount of such Facility Increase, (ii) the conditions precedent to a Borrowing set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) are satisfied as of the Facility

Increase Effective Date and (iii) an opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties in form and substance and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and addressed to the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders and addressing such matters as any Lender through the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (including an opinion as to no conflicts with other Indebtedness) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall have the right to offer such increase to (x) the Lenders, and each Lender will have the fight, but not the obligation, to commit to all or a portion of the proposed Facility Increase or (y) Eligible Assignees; provided, however, that the minimum additional Revolving Credit Commitment of each such Lender or Eligible Assignee equals or exceeds $5,000,000 and such Lender or Eligible Assignee executes an Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Lender or Eligible Assignee agrees to commit to all or a portion of such Facility Increase and, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender. On the effective date provided for in the Assumption Agreements providing for a Facility Increase (the "Facility Increase Effective Date"), the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be increased by the amount committed to by each Lender or Eligible Assignee on the Facility Increase Date. In the event there are Lenders and Eligible Assignees that have committed to a Facility Increase in excess of the maximum amount requested (or permitted), then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to allocate such commitments, first to Lenders and then to Eligible Assignees, on whatever basis the Administrative Agent determines is appropriate in consultation with the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the fight to request the Borrowers to pay compensation for such additional commitments for the Facility Increase and such Facility Increase shall not become effective until such fees shall have been paid. Only one Facility Increase may be effected pursuant to this clause (b) of Section 2.1 (The Revolving Credit Commitments).

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures

(a) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made on notice given by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) (i) one Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three Business Days, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the date of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (Form of Notice of Borrowing) (a "Notice of Borrowing"), specifying (A) the date of such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing, (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, (D) the initial Interest Period or Periods for any such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (E) the Available Credit (after giving effect to the proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing). The Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided, however, that the Interest Period of any Eurodollar Rate Loan made before the Syndication Completion Date shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) of Section 2.3 (Swing Loans), if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, make a Swing Loan available to the applicable Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing Loan. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $3,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on

the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), in immediately available funds, such Lender's Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit) and Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the applicable Borrower.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing by any Borrower that such Lender shall not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's Ratable Portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to such Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and such Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender's Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If such Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to such Borrower.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan or any payment required by it on the date specified (a "Non-Funding Lender"), including any payment in respect of its participation in Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

The Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to rely on the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent. Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid in full upon any Revolving Credit Borrowing hereunder and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a). Swing Loans shall be Base Rate Loans.

(New York City time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Lender's receipt of such written statement, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the amount specified in such statement. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except as provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the applicable Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Loan Lender. To the extent that any Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, such Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on demand.

(f) Upon the occurrence of a Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), each Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Lender pursuant to clause (e) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender's Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Loan Lender on the date on which such Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender's Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan. If such amount is not in fact made available by such Lender to the Swing Loan Lender on such date, the Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first

(iii) after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Maximum Credit at such time or the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings owing by the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit is being issued exceeds such Borrower's Borrowing Base;

(iv) after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the sum of (i)the Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts at such time and (ii)the Reimbursement Obligations at such time exceeds $10,000,000; or

(v) any fees due in connection with a requested issuance have not been paid.

None of the Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit.

(b) In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (i) be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) be less than seven days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the expiry date referred to in clause (ii) above).

(c) In connection with the issuance of each Letter of Credit for the account of any Borrower, such Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days' prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit D (Form of Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested issuance of such Letter of Credit (a "Letter of Credit Request"). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, which stated amount shall not be less than $50,000, the date of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit (which day shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), and the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the applicable Borrower in accordance with such Issuer's usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The relevant Issuer shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(e) If requested by the relevant Issuer, prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit for the account of any Borrower by such Issuer, and as a condition of such issuance and of the participation of each Lender in the Letter of Credit Obligations arising with respect thereto, such Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuer a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as the Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a "Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement"), signed by such Borrower, and such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(f) Each Issuer shall:

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail, of the issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of any Borrower, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit issued by it and the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by such Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each Lender);

(ii) upon the request of any Lender, furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender; and

(iii) no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and the Company separate schedules for Documentary and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at

the end of each month and any information requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

(g) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit for the account of any Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender's Ratable Portion, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of such Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

(h) The Borrower for whose account a Letter of Credit has been issued agrees to pay to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under such Letter of Credit when such amounts are due and payable, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and no Borrower shall have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or such payment is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest computed from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the date of repayment in full at the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Loans bearing interest at a rate based on the Base Rate during such period, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, that shall promptly notify each Lender of the failure to repay such Reimbursement Obligation, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lender's Ratable Portion of such payment in Dollars and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from any Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender's Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

(i) Each Borrower's obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right that any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, any Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a 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) payment by the Issuer under a 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, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower's obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

(j) If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (i) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Facility. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer such other Lender's Ratable Portion of any such payment.

Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments

(a) The Company may, upon at least three Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused portions of the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) The then current Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced on each date on which a prepayment of Revolving Loans or Swing Loans is made pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.9(a) (Mandatory Prepayments) or would be required to be made had the outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Loans equaled the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, in each case in the amount of such prepayment (or deemed prepayment) (and the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by its Ratable Portion of such amount).

Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans

Each Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans owing by it on the Scheduled Termination Date.

Section 2.7 Evidence of Debt

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by any Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from any Borrower and each Lender's share thereof, if applicable.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of any Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender requests that a Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by such Borrower hereunder, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Revolving Credit Note or Revolving Credit Notes to such Lender evidencing any Revolving Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (Form of Revolving Credit Note).

Section 2.8 Optional Prepayments

Any Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans or Swing Loans owing by it at any time in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by any Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, such Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs). Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of Revolving Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for such prepayment.

Section 2.9 Mandatory Prepayments

(a) Upon receipt by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds arising (i) from an Asset Sale, the Borrowers shall immediately

prepay the Loans (or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (except for Net Cash Proceeds that, together with all other Net Cash Proceeds arising from Asset Sales received by Holdings, the Company, any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries since the date hereof, do not exceed $2,000,000 in the aggregate) and (ii) from a Property Loss Event, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans (or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds and (iii) from an Equity Issuance or Debt Issuance, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans (or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, however, that, in the case of any Net Cash Proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event, the Borrowers shall prepay the Loans (or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit) in an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount applicable to such Reinvestment Event, if any, on the Reinvestment Prepayment Date with respect to such Reinvestment Event and, pending application of such proceeds as specified in the Reinvestment Notice, shall pay the same to the Administrative Agent to be held in a Cash Collateral Account Any such mandatory prepayment shall be applied in accordance with clause (b) below.

(b) Any prepayments made by any Borrower required to be applied in accordance with this clause (b) shall be applied as follows: first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Loans until such Swing Loans shall have been repaid in full; second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans shall have been paid in full; and then, to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) until all such Letter of Credit Obligations have been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth therein.

(c) If at any time, (x) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings owing by the Borrowers exceed the Maximum Credit at such time or (y) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings owing by any Borrower exceeds such Borrower's Borrowing Base, the Borrowers or such Borrower, as the case may be, shall forthwith prepay the Swing Loans first and then the Revolving Loans of the Borrowers or such Borrower, as applicable, then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans and Revolving Loans of the Borrowers or such Borrower (as the case may be), the Borrowers or such Borrower, as applicable, shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

(d) The Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of all funds in the Cash Collateral Account (other than an amount equal to any proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event that are held in the Cash Collateral Account pending application of such proceeds as specified in a Reinvestment Notice) and agree that the Administrative Agent may, and, upon the written direction of the Requisite Lenders, shall, except as provided in Section 2.13(f) (Payments and Computations), apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all available funds in the Cash Collateral Account on a daily basis as follows: first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Loans until such Swing Loans have been repaid in full; second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans until such Revolving Loans shall have been repaid in full; and then to any other Obligation then due and payable. The Administrative Agent agrees so to apply such funds and the Borrowers consent to such application. If, following such application, there are no Loans outstanding and no other Obligations that are then due and payable (and cash collateral has been provided in the amount of 105% of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations), then the Administrative Agent shall cause any remaining funds in the Cash Collateral Account to be paid at the written direction of the Company.

Section 2.10 Interest

(a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time, plus (B) the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period, plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Eurodollar Interest Period.

(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Base Rate Loan (other than Swing Loans) shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan; (ii) interest accrued on Swing Loans shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of the immediately succeeding calendar month; (iii) interest accrued on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day during such Interest Period occurring exactly three months or an integral multiple thereof after the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan; and (iv) interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, except as otherwise agreed by the Requisite Lenders, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate that is two percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Obligations from time to time.

Section 2.11 Conversion/Continuation Option

(a) A Borrower may elect (i) at any time to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) owing by it or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans or (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans owing by it or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of $3,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with its Ratable Portion. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit E (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a "Notice of Conversion or Continuation") and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days' prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a conversion from Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall also be the last day of the applicable Interest Period).

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be permitted at any time prior to the Syndication Completion Date except to Eurodollar Rate Loans with Interest Periods otherwise determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (a) of Section 2.2 (Borrowing Procedures) and (ii) no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans). If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the applicable Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.12 Fees

(a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay to each Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds such Lender's Ratable Portion of the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans (plus, if such Lender is the Swing Loan Lender, the outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans) and (ii) the outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations (the "Unused Commitment Fee") from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (x) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such Business Day following the Closing Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer for its account:

(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuer of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, with respect to each such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee equal to 0.25% per annum of the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date;

(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, a fee accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans on the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that, except as otherwise agreed by the Requisite Lenders, during the continuance of an Event of Default, such fee shall be increased by two percent per annum and shall be payable on demand; and

(iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer's standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.

(c) Additional Fees. The Company has agreed to pay to CUSA, the Administrative Agent and the Arranger additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.13 Payments and Computations

(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (e) and (f) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.16 (Taxes) or clause (c) or (d) of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the Swing Loan Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Revolving Loan shall be applied as follows: first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans; and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans with those Eurodollar Rate Loans that have earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being repaid prior to those that have later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Subject to the provisions of clause (f) below (and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments)), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of any Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or any Borrower; second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable; and then, as the Company so designates. Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swing Loan Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender's Ratable Portion; and all payments

of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

(f) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies), shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account (including all proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event that are held in the Cash Collateral Account pending application of such proceeds as specified in a Reinvestment Notice) and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:

(i) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or any Borrower;

(ii) second, to pay interest on and then principal of any Swing Loan;

(iii) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

(iv) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuers;

(v) fifth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers;

(vi) sixth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations;

(vii) seventh, to pay or prepay principal payments on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts; and

(viii) eighth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Obligations described in any of clauses first through eighth above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent's and each Lender's or Issuer's interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through eighthabove may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by any Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through fifth above may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Lenders.

(g) At the option of the Administrative Agent, principal on the Swing Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and other sums due and payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances may be paid from the proceeds of Swing Loans or Revolving Loans. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make Swing Loans pursuant

to Section 2.3(a) (Swing Loans) and the Lenders to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (Borrowing Procedures) from time to time in the Swing Loan Lender's or such Lender's discretion, that are in the amounts of any and all principal payable with respect to the Swing Loans and interest, fees, expenses and other sums payable in respect of the Revolving Loans, and further authorizes the Administrative Agent to give the Lenders notice of any Borrowing with respect to such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans and to distribute the proceeds of such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans to pay such amounts. Each Borrower agrees that all such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), which conditions the Lenders irrevocably waive) and directs that all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts.

Section 2.14 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans

(a) Determination of Interest Rate

The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of "Eurodollar Rate." The Administrative Agent's determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrowers.

(b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair

In the event that: (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Company and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

If at any time any Lender shall determine that, after the date hereof, because of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive promulgated or given after the date hereof by or on behalf of any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrowers shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay, jointly and severally, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be liable for increased costs relating to periods up to but excluding the date 180 days before the initial demand is made hereunder by such Lender with respect to the change that would otherwise justify such liability. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amount pursuant to this clause (c), it shall promptly notify the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Illegality

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii)if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Company and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrowers' right to request, and such Lender's obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(e) Breakage Costs

In addition to all amounts required to be paid by any Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10 (Interest), each Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender's Eurodollar Rate Loans to such Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by such Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by such Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Company concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error.

Section 2.15 Capital Adequacy

If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's (or any corporation controlling such Lender's) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below the level that such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree that they shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be liable for reductions in rates of return relating to periods up to but excluding the

date 180 days before the initial demand is made hereunder by such Lender with respect to the event in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above relating to such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Company and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

Section 2.16 Taxes

(a) Any and all payments by any Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes measured by its net income (including branch profits tax, alternative minimum tax and other taxes imposed in lieu of net income tax), and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which it is engaged in business and (B)any United States withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance) applicable to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any United States withholding payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance) and (C) Taxes resulting from the failure of any Non-U.S. Lender to comply with clause (f) of this Section 2.16 and (ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes measured by its net income (including branch profits tax, alternative minimum tax and other taxes imposed in lieu of net income tax), and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction in which such Lender's Applicable Lending Office is located or in which it is engaged in business (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (w)the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) the relevant Borrower shall make such deductions, (y) the Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

(b) In addition, the Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, "Other Taxes").

(c) The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto other than any such liabilities attributable to any gross negligence of such Lender or, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or, if such original or certified copy is not available, any other proof of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

(f) Prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Non-U.S. Lender and from time to time thereafter if requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled at such time to an exemption from United States withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Company with two completed copies of (i) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or any successor form, (ii) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form, (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from withholding under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form, together with a certificate satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed by such Non-U.S. Lender stating that it meets all conditions for the portfolio interest exemption, including the statement as to its non-bank status or (iv) or any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender's entitlement to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents. Unless the Company and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

(g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable

or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h) If any Lender receives a refund or credit against its tax that, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, is attributable to the additional amount paid by the Borrower under this Section 2.16, such Lender shall promptly pay to the Borrower the amount of such refund or credit.

(i) Each Lender selling participations relating to the Loan Document shall be responsible for complying with any registration requirement and withholding requirement (including the receipt of any applicable forms, certificates and documents) as they relate to such participations, pursuant to the Code and the regulations thereunder.

Section 2.17 Substitution of Lenders

In the event that (a) (i) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14(c) (Increased Costs) or Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), (ii) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Company pursuant to Section 2.14(d) (Illegality) or Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or (iii) any Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes), that is attributable to any Lender, or any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, (b) in the case of subclause (a)(i) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (c) Lenders holding at least 75% of the Revolving Credit Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an "Affected Lender"), the Company may substitute another financial institution for such Affected Lender hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice (which written notice must be given within 90 days following the occurrence of any of the events described in subclauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above) by the Company to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the Company intends to make such substitution, which substitute financial institution must be an Eligible Assignee and, if not a Lender, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Company within 30 days of each other then the Company may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Company has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Company's receipt of the other Affected Lenders' claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims. In the event that the proposed substitute financial institution or other entity is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the written notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of its Revolving Credit Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations). Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption (that, in any event, shall be conditioned upon the payment in full by the Borrowers to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date), the substitute financial institution or other entity shall become a "Lender" hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Revolving Credit Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it and such Revolving Credit Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated, provided that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender.

Section 9.2 Remedies

During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (a) may, and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to any Borrower declare that all of the Revolving Credit Commitments be terminated, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan and each Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate and (b may and shall at the request of the Requisite Lenders, by notice to any Borrower, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of the Events of Default specified in Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), (A)(i) the Revolving Credit Commitments of each Lender to make Loans and of each Lender and Issuer to issue or participate in Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (ii) the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.

Section 9.4 Rescission

If at any time after termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrowers shall pay, jointly and severally, all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on

overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), then upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to any Borrower, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.

If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default).

(ii) increase the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or subject such Lender to any additional obligations;

(iii) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan due to such Lender, or waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled date fixed for the payment or reduction of principal on such Loan (it being understood that Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments) does not provide for scheduled dates fixed for payment) or of the Revolving Credit Commitments;

Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations

(a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender's Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitment, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender's Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitment, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor's entire interest) be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Company shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender's Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording and the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender and, if such Lender were an Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except those that survive the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments of and principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time (the "Register"). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. The entries in the Register applicable to any Lender shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Administrative Agent or such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company. Within five Business

Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrowers, at their own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B (Form of Revolving Credit Note).

(e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans) to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board without notice to or consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent and (ii) any trustee for the benefit of the holders of such Lender's Securities; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant's consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.7(b) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents). In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (A) such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (D) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14(d) (Illegality), Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and Section 2.16 (Taxes) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower shall, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.14(d) (Illegality), Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or Section 2.16 (Taxes) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) any payment in excess of the amount such Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold.

(g) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer's obligations to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

(a) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Arranger, each Lender, each Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and representatives of each of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") from and against any and all

claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), joint or several, that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any such Indemnitee (including in connection with or relating to any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of any defense in connection therewith), in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit, any Related Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed used of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit (collectively, the "Indemnified Matters"), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found, in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.4 (Indemnitees) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnitee or any other Person, or an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Without limiting the foregoing, "Indemnified Matters" shall include, without limitation, (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate; (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof; (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien; (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, 49 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq. and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any of such matters, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (A) incurred following foreclosure (or transfer of title to in lieu of foreclosure) by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and (B) attributable solely to acts of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(b) The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer for, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuer agree that in the event that any such investigation, litigation or proceeding set forth in clause (b) above is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against it or any other Indemnitee, or any Remedial Action, is requested of it or any of its officers, directors, agents and employees, for which any Indemnitee may desire indemnity or defense hereunder, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company in writing.

(d) Each Borrower, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action and such Borrower, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of such

Borrower's choice. In the event that such Indemnitee requests any Borrower to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, such Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrowers' obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

(e) Each Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person who was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability

Each Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Borrower or any of its security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except for direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings)) determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee's breach of contract, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 11.6 Right of Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not owing by such Borrower and whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) or Section 11.4 (Indemnitees) (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and Section 2.16 (Taxes)) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a "Purchasing Lender") shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a "Selling Lender") such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

(b) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender's required repayment to

(ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(c) Each Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of any Borrower in the amount of such participation.
