Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated to purchase a participation in any Unreimbursed Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to this subsection if the Letter of Credit giving rise to such Unreimbursed Letter of Credit Obligations was issued by the LC Issuer after the LC Issuer has received written notice of the existence of a Default or Event of Default from Agent pursuant to Section 9.06 hereof and/or from Borrower pursuant to Section 5.14 hereof.

(iv) Notice to LC Issuer. Agent shall promptly notify the LC Issuer if at any time Agent receives a copy of a request for a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii) hereof and after giving effect to such request the Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the available Letter of Credit Commitment.

(v) LC Issuer Report. Within 10 Business Days after the end of each calendar month (or such later date as permitted by Agent), the LC Issuer shall deliver to Agent a written report that lists all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the end of such month and includes, among other things, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the face amount thereof, the amounts drawn, if any, thereunder, the beneficiary thereof, and the expiration date thereof.

(vi) Existing Letters of Credit. On and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued by the LC Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof and under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that it shall be liable with respect to any drawing made under any of the Existing Letters of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.02 and the other provisions of this Agreement. Each Existing Letter of Credit Issuer agrees that on and after the Closing Date (A) the fees applicable to each Existing Letter of Credit shall be the fees set forth in Section 2.09(b) hereof, and (B) any reimbursement agreement in effect with respect to each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed terminated and each Existing Letter of Credit shall be governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that Borrower or such other Company for whose benefit any Existing Letter of Credit was issued shall, upon request of any Existing Letter of Credit Issuer, execute and deliver to such Existing Letter of Credit Issuer a new

application and agreement, being in the standard form of such Existing Letter of Credit Issuer for such letters of credit, as amended to conform to the provisions of and to eliminate any inconsistencies with this Agreement if required by Agent, such Existing Letter of Credit Issuer or Borrower.

(vii) Applicants other than Guarantors of Payment. If a Letter of Credit is requested hereunder for the account of a Company other than Borrower or a Guarantor of Payment, such Company shall, on or before the date on which such request is made, acknowledge and agree in writing, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and the LC Issuer, that it will be bound by the LC Terms and Conditions with respect to all Letters of Credit requested to be issued for its account, and such writing shall be delivered to Agent and the LC Issuer.

(f) Funding of Loans. Agent shall notify each Lender of the date, amount, type of currency and initial Interest Period (if applicable) of any Eurodollar Loan or Alternate Currency Loan promptly upon the receipt of such notice, and, in any event, by 2:00 P.M.

Agent shall also have the right to receive interest from such Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the event that such Lender shall fail to provide its portion of the Loan on the date requested and Agent elects to provide such funds.

Section 2.04 Interest.

(a) Revolving Loans.

(i) Base Rate Loans. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans outstanding from time to time from the date thereof until paid at the Derived Base Rate from time to time in effect. Interest on such Base Rate Loans shall be payable, commencing September 30, 2007, and on the last day of each succeeding December, March June and September thereafter and at the maturity thereof.

(ii) Fixed Rate Loans. Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan or an Alternate Currency Loan outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (but subject to changes in the Applicable Margin), at the Derived Fixed Rate. Interest on all such Fixed Rate Loans shall be payable on each Interest Adjustment Date (provided that if an Interest Period exceeds three months, the interest must be paid every three months, commencing three months from the beginning of such Interest Period).

(b) Swing Loans. Borrower shall pay interest, for the sole benefit of Agent (and any Lender that has purchased a participation in such Swing Loan), on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Loan outstanding from time to time from the date thereof until paid at the Derived Swing Loan Rate applicable to such Swing Loan. Interest on each Swing Loan shall be payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest for a minimum of one day.

(b) Swing Loans. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Swing Loans and to pay interest thereon shall be evidenced by a Swing Line Note, payable to the order of Agent in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Swing Loans made hereunder by Agent.

The aggregate unpaid amount of Loans, types of Loans, Interest Periods, and outstanding Letters of Credit and similar information with respect to such Loans and Letters of Credit set forth on the records of Agent shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence with respect to such information, including the amounts of principal and interest owing and unpaid on each Note.

Section 2.06 Payment on Notes, Etc.

(a) Payments Generally. Each payment made hereunder by Borrower shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(b) Payments in Alternate Currency. With respect to any Alternate Currency Loan, all payments (including prepayments) to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Alternate Currency Loan shall be made in the same Alternate Currency as the original Loan. With respect to any Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, all Unreimbursed Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to each such Letter of Credit shall be made in the same Alternate Currency in which each such Letter of Credit was issued, unless, in the case of any Unreimbursed Letter of Credit Obligations owing to the LC Issuer, the LC Issuer agrees otherwise. All such payments, reimbursements and repayments shall be remitted by Borrower to Agent at Agent’s main office (or at such other office or account as designated in writing by Agent to Borrower) for the account of the Lenders or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, not later than 1:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the due date thereof in same day funds. Any payments received by Agent after 1:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) shall be deemed to have been made and received on the next following Business Day.

(c) Payments in Dollars. With respect to (i) the payment of any Loan (other than an Alternate Currency Loan) or Unreimbursed Letter of Credit Obligations payable in Dollars, or (ii) any other payment to Agent and the Lenders that is not covered by subsection (b) hereof, all such payments (including prepayments) to Agent and the Lenders of the principal of or interest on such Loan or other payment, including but not limited to principal, interest, facility or other fees or any other amount owed by Borrower under this Agreement, shall be made in Dollars. All payments described in this subsection (c) shall be remitted to Agent at its main office for the account of the Lenders or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, not later than 1:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds. Any such payments received by Agent after 1:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) shall be deemed to have been made and received on the next following Business Day.

(d) Payments to Lenders. Upon Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, Agent shall immediately distribute to each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and facility and other fees received by it for the account of such Lender. Payments received by Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, in Dollars in immediately available funds.

Section 2.07 Payments Net of Taxes; Foreign Lenders.

(a) General Provisions. All payments on account of principal, if any, interest and other fees and amounts payable hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and, unless otherwise required by law, shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Tax, present or future, imposed by any taxing authority in any jurisdiction. If Borrower shall be required to withhold or pay any Tax, it shall make the required withholding and payment in accordance with and within the time allowed by law, and shall nonetheless pay to the appropriate Lender such additional amounts as shall be necessary to cause such Lender actually to receive in full all amounts (after taking account of any further deduction or withholding that is required to be made as a consequence of the payment of such additional amounts) on account of principal and interest or other fees or amounts owing to it hereunder, as if such Tax had not been paid. As soon as practicable after the date that any Tax shall become due and payable, (i) Borrower shall give to such Lender the original or a copy of a receipt for the payment of the Tax, or, if such receipts are not issued by or received from the taxing authority to which the Tax was paid, a certificate of an officer of Borrower, confirming the date and amount of the payment so made and reasonable details of the calculation of the amount due; and (ii) Borrower shall indemnify and save such Lender harmless from and against any claim, liability, loss, cost, expense (including without limitation legal, accounting and other professional fees, and interest and penalty charges or fines imposed by any taxing authority in respect of or arising from non-payment of such Tax) to which such Lender may be exposed or that it may incur, by reason of Borrower’s failure to make punctual payment of any amount required to be paid to a taxing authority pursuant to this subsection (b) hereof.

(b) Foreign Lenders. Each Lender party to this Agreement as of the Closing Date that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof (i) represents that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by Agent, Borrower or such Lender with respect to any payments to be made in the United States to such Lender in respect of the Loans that were made in the United States or other amounts payable hereunder in respect of Debt incurred in the United States, (ii) shall have furnished to Agent and Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date either (A) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or (B) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (wherein such Lender claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder), and (iii) agrees to provide to Agent and Borrower a new Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Lender, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

Section 2.08 Prepayment.

(a) Right to Prepay.

(i) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b) below, Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to prepay, on a pro rata basis for all of the Lenders, all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans, as designated by Borrower, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment; and

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b) below, Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to prepay, for the benefit of Agent (and any Lender that has purchased a participation in such Swing Loan), all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans, as designated by Borrower, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment.

(b) Prepayment Fees.

(i) Base Rate Loans. Prepayments of Base Rate Loans shall be without any premium or penalty.

(ii) Fixed Rate Loans. In any case of prepayment of a Fixed Rate Loan prior to the last date of the applicable Interest Period, Borrower agrees that if the reinvestment rate, as quoted by the money desk of Agent (and determined by such money desk with respect to its cost of funds for the remaining portion of the applicable Interest Period) (the “Reinvestment Rate”), shall be lower than the Alternate Currency Rate or Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan that is intended to be prepaid (hereinafter, the “Current Rate”), then Borrower shall, upon written notice by Agent, promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds, a prepayment fee equal to the product of (a) a rate (the “Prepayment Rate”) that shall be equal to the difference between the Current Rate and the Reinvestment Rate, times (b) the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Loan that is to be prepaid, times (c) (i) the number of days remaining in the Interest Period of the Fixed Rate Loan that is to be prepaid divided by (ii) 360. In addition, Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the amount of any additional costs or expenses (including, without limitation, cost of telex, wires, or cables) incurred by Agent or the Lenders in connection with the prepayment, upon Borrower’s receipt of a written statement from Agent. Each prepayment of a Fixed Rate Loan shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000, except in the case of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 or Article III hereof.

(iii) Swing Loans. In the case of prepayment of a Swing Loan, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, on demand, for any resulting loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense of Agent as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits.

(c) Notice of Prepayment. Borrower shall give Agent written notice of prepayment of any Swing Loan or Base Rate Loan by not later than 11:00 A.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the Business Day such prepayment is to be made and written notice of the prepayment of any Fixed Rate Loan not later than 1:00 P.M. (Cleveland, Ohio time) three Business Days prior to the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made.

(d) Minimum Amount. Except in the case of a prepayment in full of any Loan, each prepayment of (i) a Fixed Rate Loan by Borrower shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 (or, with respect to an Alternate Currency Loan, the Dollar Equivalent of such amount) and (ii) a Base Rate Loan by Borrower shall be in the aggregate principal amount of not less than $1,000,000, except in the case of a mandatory prepayment in connection with Section 2.12 hereof or Article III hereof.

(e) Certificate. Any Lender seeking reimbursement or indemnification pursuant to any provision of this Section 2.08 shall present a certificate to Borrower setting forth the calculations therefor, which certificate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof.

Section 2.09 Facility, Letter of Credit and Other Fees.

(a) Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, as a consideration for the Commitment, a facility fee from the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Commitment Period, computed for each day at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Applicable Facility Fee Rate in effect for such day, times (ii) the Total Commitment Amount in effect on such day. The facility fee shall be payable in arrears on September 30, 2007, and on the last day of each succeeding December, March, June and September thereafter and on the last day of the Commitment Period.

(b) In respect of each Letter of Credit and the drafts thereunder, if any, whether issued for the account of Borrower or any other Company, Borrower agrees (i) to pay to Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, a non-refundable commission based upon the face amount of the Letter of Credit, which shall be paid quarterly in arrears (within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the invoice therefor) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Fixed Rate Loans (in effect on the date such Letter of Credit is issued, amended or renewed) times the face amount of such Letter of Credit during such fiscal quarter; (ii) to pay to the LC Issuer, for its own account as issuing bank, a fronting fee based upon the face amount of the Letter of Credit, which shall be paid on each date that such Letter of Credit is issued, amended or renewed, at a rate per annum equal to 10 basis points times the face amount of such Letter of Credit; and (iii) to pay to the LC Issuer, for its sole account, such other reasonable administrative fees of the LC Issuer (at the rates specified by the LC Issuer from time to time in schedules delivered by the LC Issuer to Borrower) with respect to each Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all fees associated with any amendment to, drawing under, banker’s acceptance pursuant to, or transfer of a Letter of Credit), such fees to be payable on demand by the LC Issuer therefor.

Section 2.10 Modification of Commitment.

(a) Voluntary Reduction. Borrower may at any time or from time to time permanently reduce in whole or ratably in part the Total Commitment Amount hereunder to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving Credit Exposure, by giving Agent not fewer than three Business Days’ notice of such reduction, provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount, for all of the Lenders, of not less than $10,000,000. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the effective date of each reduction of the Commitment pursuant to this Section and such Lender’s proportionate share thereof. If the Total Commitment Amount is permanently reduced to zero, on the effective date of such reduction (Borrower having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the Notes, together with all interest and facility and other fees accrued and unpaid, and provided that no Letter of Credit Exposure shall exist), all of the Notes shall be delivered by the Lenders to Agent marked “Canceled” and Agent shall redeliver such Notes to Borrower. Any partial reduction in the Total Commitment Amount shall be effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period.

(b) Increase in Commitments.

(i) Once per calendar year (or more frequently as permitted by Agent) Borrower may, by written notice to Agent, request that the Total Commitment Amount be increased by an amount not to exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate for all such increases from the Closing Date until the last day of the Commitment Period, provided that (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such request and on the date of any such increase and (B) Borrower shall have delivered to Agent, together with such written notice, a copy of Borrower’s duly adopted corporate resolutions, in form and

substance satisfactory to Agent, that authorize the requested increase in the Total Commitment Amount, which resolutions shall be certified by the Secretary of Borrower as being true, correct, complete and in full force and effect. Upon receipt of any such request, Agent shall deliver a copy of such request to each Lender. Borrower shall set forth in such request the amount of the requested increase in the Total Commitment Amount (which in each case shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 and in such minimum increments in excess thereof as Agent shall permit) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after the date of such request and that, in any event, must be at least 90 days prior to the last day of the Commitment Period), and shall offer each Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment by its Commitment Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each Lender shall, by notice to Borrower and Agent given not more than 10 days after the date of Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each such Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment (and any such Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of 10 days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and each Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Lender”). If, on the 10^th day after Agent shall have delivered notice as set forth above, the Increasing Lenders shall have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Credit Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the Total Commitment Amount requested by Borrower, Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other entities that are acceptable to Agent (each such Person so agreeing being an “Augmenting Lender”), and Borrower and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or its status as a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder. Any increase in the Total Commitment Amount may be made in an amount that is less than the increase requested by Borrower if Borrower is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Lenders, in the full amount.

(ii) Each of the parties hereto agrees that Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that after giving effect to any increase in the Total Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with their new Commitment Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of Agent: (w) by requiring the outstanding Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of new Loans; (x) by causing the Non-Increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Loans to Increasing Lenders and Augmenting Lenders; (y) by permitting the Loans outstanding at the time of any increase in the Total Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) to remain outstanding until the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor, even though the Lenders would hold such Loans other than in accordance with their new Commitment Percentages; or (z) by any combination of the foregoing.

Section 2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees. With the exception of Alternate Currency Loans made in Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars or Australian Dollars and Base Rate Loans, interest on Loans, Unreimbursed Letter of Credit Obligations and facility and other fees and charges hereunder, shall be computed on the basis of a year having 360 days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. With respect to Alternate Currency Loans made in Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars or Australian Dollars and Base Rate Loans, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year having three 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 2.12 Mandatory Payment.

(a) If, as of any date, (i) the Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed the Total Commitment Amount, Borrower shall prepay, by no later than the next Business Day, an aggregate principal amount of the Loans sufficient to bring the Revolving Credit Exposure within the Total Commitment Amount or, (ii) the Letter of Credit Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall deposit in a cash collateral account maintained by the Agent an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of any such excess to be held as security for the Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit (and which will be returned to the Borrower to the extent that the amount of cash collateral provided hereunder exceeds the greater of (x) the amount by which the Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Total Commitment Amount and (y) the amount by which the Letter of Credit Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Commitment); provided, however, that, notwithstanding

the foregoing, if the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternate Currency Exposure has increased as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate applicable to the relevant Alternate Currency or Alternate Currencies such that the Revolving Credit Exposure at any time exceeds the Total Commitment Amount or the Letter of Credit Exposure exceeds the Letter of Credit Commitment, then Borrower shall not be obligated to make a prepayment pursuant to this subpart (a) so long as the Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Total Commitment Amount and the Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Commitment.

(b) Any prepayment of a Loan pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be subject to the prepayment fees set forth in Section 2.08 hereof. Unless otherwise specified by Borrower to Agent, each such prepayment shall be applied (i) first, on a pro rata basis, to the outstanding principal balance of the Base Rate Loans, (ii) second, on a pro rata basis, to the outstanding principal balance of the Eurodollar Loans, (iii) third, on a pro rata basis, to the outstanding principal balance of the Alternate Currency Loans, and (iv) fourth, to the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Loans.

Section 2.13 Extension of Commitment. At any time on or after December 31, 2009, Borrower may deliver a Request for Extension, requesting that the Lenders extend the Commitment Period for an additional year. Each such extension shall require the unanimous written consent of all of the Lenders and shall be upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed to by Borrower, Agent and the Lenders and the decision to agree or withhold agreement to any requested extension of the Commitment Period shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender. Each Lender shall, by notice to Borrower and Agent given within 30 days after such Lender’s receipt of such request, advise Borrower whether or not it agrees to such extension. Any Lender that has not so advised Borrower by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension. Borrower shall pay any attorneys’ fees or other expenses of Agent in connection with the documentation of any such extension, as well as such other fees as may be agreed upon between Borrower and the Lenders.

The Commitment of any Lender that has declined to agree to any requested extension of the Commitment Period (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall terminate on the last day of the Commitment Period in effect prior to giving effect to such extension (the “Existing Maturity Date”), and the principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by such Lender, together with any accrued interest thereon, and any accrued fees and other amounts payable hereunder and owing to such Lender shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall have the right to replace a Non-Extending Lender with a Lender or one or more banks or other entities that are acceptable to Agent that will assume the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender by executing such documentation as Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or its status as a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder and to agree to an extension of the Commitment Period.

Section 3.01 Reserves or Deposit Requirements, Etc. If, at any time, any law, treaty or regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority shall impose (whether or not having the force of law), modify or deem applicable any reserve and/or special deposit requirement (other than reserves included in the Reserve Percentage, the effect of which is reflected in the interest rate(s) of the Fixed Rate Loan(s) in question) against (a) assets held by, or deposits in or for the amount of any Fixed Rate Loan by, any Lender, or (b) assets held by, or deposits in or for the amount of any Letter of Credit issued by, the LC Issuer, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to such Lender or the LC Issuer of making or maintaining hereunder such Fixed Rate Loan or Letter of Credit, as the case may be, or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by such Lender with respect to such Fixed Rate Loan or the LC Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, Borrower shall pay to such Lender from time to time on Interest Adjustment Dates with respect to such Fixed Rate Loan or the LC Issuer, as applicable,

as additional consideration hereunder, additional amounts sufficient to fully compensate and indemnify such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, for such increased cost or reduced amount, assuming (which assumption such Lender or the LC Issuer need not corroborate) such additional cost or reduced amount was allocable to such Fixed Rate Loan or Letter of Credit. A certificate as to the increased cost or reduced amount as a result of any event mentioned in this Section 3.01, setting forth the calculations therefor, shall be promptly submitted by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, to Borrower and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after any such demand for compensation by any Lender or the LC Issuer, Borrower, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, through Agent, may prepay any affected Fixed Rate Loan in full or terminate any affected Letter of Credit or, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, convert such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan regardless of the Interest Period thereof. Any such prepayment or conversion shall be subject to the prepayment fees set forth in Section 2.08 hereof. Each Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, shall notify Borrower as promptly as practicable (with a copy thereof delivered to Agent) of the existence of any event that will likely require the payment by Borrower of any such additional amount under this Section.

Section 3.02 Tax Law, Etc.

(a) In the event that by reason of any law, regulation or requirement or in the interpretation thereof by an official authority, or the imposition of any requirement of any central bank whether or not having the force of law, any Lender or the LC Issuer shall, with respect to this Agreement or any transaction under this Agreement, be subjected to any tax, levy, impost, charge, fee, duty, deduction or withholding of any kind whatsoever (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the income of any Lender or the LC Issuer, or franchise taxes imposed on such Lender, by any jurisdiction in which such Lender or the LC Issuer is organized or in which such Lender or the LC Issuer is resident or doing business) and if any such measures or any other similar measure shall result in an increase in the cost to such Lender or the LC Issuer of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan or issuing any Letter of Credit or in a reduction in the amount of principal, interest or facility fee receivable by such Lender in respect thereof, then such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify Borrower stating the reasons therefor. Borrower shall thereafter pay to such Lender or the LC Issuer as appropriate, as additional consideration hereunder, such additional amounts as shall fully compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer for such increased cost or reduced amount. Borrower shall pay such amounts within five Business Days upon demand therefor from the LC Issuer or any such Lender that shall have provided to Borrower a certificate as to any such increased cost or reduced amount, setting forth the calculations therefor, which certificate shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. The obligations of Borrower under this Section shall be in addition to any obligations of Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(a) hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after any such demand for compensation by any Lender, Borrower, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to such Lender through Agent, may prepay any affected Fixed Rate Loan in full or, with respect to Eurodollar Loans, convert such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan regardless of the Interest Period of any thereof. Any such prepayment or conversion shall be subject to the prepayment fees set forth in Section 2.08 hereof.

Section 3.03 Eurodollar or Alternate Currency Deposits Unavailable or Interest Rate Unascertainable. In respect of any Fixed Rate Loan, in the event that Agent shall have determined that (a) for Eurodollar Loans, that Dollar deposits or (b) for Alternate Currency Loans, that deposits of the relevant Alternate Currency, of the relevant amount for the relevant Interest Period for such Fixed Rate Loan are not available to Agent in the applicable Dollar or Alternate Currency market, as the case may be, or that, by reason of circumstances affecting such market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate or Alternate Currency Rate applicable to such Interest Period, as the case may be, Agent shall promptly give notice of such determination to Borrower and (i) any notice of a new Eurodollar Loan or Alternate Currency Loan, as the case may be, (or conversion of an existing Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan) previously given by Borrower and not yet borrowed (or converted, as the case may be) shall be deemed a notice to make a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) Borrower shall be obligated either to prepay, or with respect to a Eurodollar Loan, to convert to a Base Rate Loan, any outstanding Fixed Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

Section 3.04 Indemnity. Without prejudice to any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any default by Borrower in payment when due of any amount hereunder in respect of any Fixed Rate Loan, or (b) the failure by Borrower to consummate the borrowing of any Fixed Rate Loan after making a request therefor, including, but not limited to, any loss of profit, premium or penalty incurred by such Lender in respect of funds borrowed by it for the purpose of making or maintaining such Fixed Rate Loan, as determined by such Lender in the exercise of its sole but reasonable discretion. A certificate as to any such loss or expense shall be promptly submitted by such Lender to Borrower and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof.

Section 3.05 Changes in Law Rendering Fixed Rate Loans Unlawful. If at any time any new law, treaty or regulation, or any change in any existing law, treaty or regulation, or any interpretation thereof by any governmental or other regulatory authority charged with the administration thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to fund any Fixed Rate Loan that it is committed to make hereunder in any Alternate Currency or Dollars, as the case may be, the commitment of such Lender to fund such Fixed Rate Loan shall, upon the happening of such event, forthwith be suspended for the duration of such illegality, and such Lender shall by written notice to Borrower and Agent declare that its commitment with respect to such Fixed Rate Loan has been so suspended and, if and when such illegality ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease and such Lender shall similarly notify Borrower and Agent. If any such change shall make it unlawful for any Lender to continue in effect the funding in the applicable Eurodollar or Alternate Currency market, as the case may be, of any Fixed Rate Loan previously made by it hereunder, such Lender shall, upon the happening of such event, notify Borrower, Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing stating the reasons therefor, and Borrower shall, on the earlier of (a) the last day of the then current Interest Period or (b) if required by such law, regulation or interpretation, on such date as shall be specified in such notice, either convert such Fixed Rate Loan (if a Eurodollar Loan) to a Base Rate Loan or prepay such Fixed Rate Loan to the Lenders in full. Any such prepayment or conversion shall be subject to the prepayment fees described in Section 2.08 hereof.

Section 3.06 Funding. Each Lender may, but shall not be required to, make Fixed Rate Loans hereunder with funds obtained outside the United States.

Section 3.07 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or the LC Issuer shall have determined, after the Closing Date, that the adoption of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its lending office) or the LC Issuer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s capital (or the capital of its respective holding company) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or the LC Issuer (or its respective holding company) could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s, as applicable, policies or the policies of its holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable (with a copy to Agent), Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable (or its holding company) for such reduction. Each Lender or the LC Issuer shall designate a different lending office (or, with respect to the LC Issuer, a different branch or affiliate) if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or the LC Issuer. A certificate of any Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender or the LC Issuer, as applicable, may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure on the part of any Lender or the LC Issuer to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s rights to demand compensation for any reduction in return on capital in such period or in any other period. The protection of this Section shall be

available to each Lender and the LC Issuer regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or other condition that shall have been imposed.

(c) Schedule 4.01 sets forth as of the Closing Date (i) each Subsidiary of Borrower and each Subsidiary of each other Company, (ii) such Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of organization, (iii) each jurisdiction in which each Material Subsidiary is qualified to do business as a foreign entity, and (iv) the direct or indirect ownership of Borrower in such Subsidiary.

Section 4.02 Corporate Authority. Borrower has the right and power and is duly authorized and empowered to enter into, execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform and observe the provisions of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly authorized and approved by Borrower’s Board of Directors and are the valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents will not conflict with, result in any breach in any of the provisions of, constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 5.09 hereof) upon any assets or property of Borrower or any Material Subsidiary under the provisions of Borrower’s or such Material Subsidiary’s Organizational Documents or any agreement.

Section 4.03 Compliance With Laws. Each Company:

(a) holds permits, certificates, licenses, orders, registrations, franchises, authorizations, and other approvals from federal, state, local, and foreign governmental and regulatory bodies necessary for the conduct of its business and is in compliance with all applicable laws relating thereto, except where the failure to do so would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(b) is in compliance with all federal, state, local, or foreign applicable statutes, rules, regulations, and orders including, without limitation, those relating to environmental protection, occupational safety and health, and equal employment practices, except where the failure to do so would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect; and

Section 4.04 Litigation and Administrative Proceedings. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.04 hereto, there are (a) no lawsuits, actions, investigations, or other proceedings pending or threatened against any Company, or in respect of which any Company may have any liability, in any court or before any governmental authority, arbitration board, or other tribunal, (b) no orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees of any court or government agency or instrumentality to which any Company is a party or by which the property or assets of any Company are bound, and (c) no grievances, disputes, or controversies outstanding with any union or other

Section 4.06 Liens and Security Interests.

Neither Borrower nor any Material Subsidiary has entered into any Material Indebtedness Agreement (other than this Agreement) that exists on or after the Closing Date that would prohibit Agent or the Lenders from acquiring a security interest, mortgage or other Lien on, or a collateral assignment of, any of the property or assets of Borrower or any Material Subsidiary.

The provision for taxes on the books of Borrower and each Material Subsidiary is adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes and for the current fiscal year.

Section 4.08 Environmental Laws. Each Company is in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which any Company owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, arranges or has arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or otherwise, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or in connection with any Environmental Law is pending or, to the best knowledge of each Company, threatened, against any Company, any real property in which any Company holds or has held an interest or any past or present operation of any Company which, if determined adversely, would have a Material Adverse Effect. No release, threatened release or disposal of hazardous waste, solid waste or other wastes is occurring, or has occurred (other than those that are currently being cleaned up in accordance with Environmental Laws), on, under or to any real property in which any Company holds any interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law, except where such release or disposal would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Section, “litigation or proceeding” means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in equity, action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any governmental authority, private Person or otherwise.

Section 4.09 Employee Benefits Plans. No ERISA Event has occurred prior to the Closing Date that is unresolved and that has not been waived pursuant to the provisions of the Original Credit Agreement that individually or in the aggregate has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No other ERISA Event has occurred or is expected to occur with respect to an ERISA Plan that has not been waived pursuant to the provisions of the Original Credit Agreement that individually or in the aggregate has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments that a Controlled Group member is required, under applicable law or under the governing documents, to make as a contribution to or a benefit under each ERISA Plan have been made except for such payments the non-payment of which, individually or in the aggregate, have not had or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All liabilities of

each Controlled Group member with respect to each ERISA Plan have been fully funded based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions, have been fully insured, or have been fully reserved for on its financial statements, except to the extent to which any failure to so fund, insure or reserve has not or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No changes have occurred or are expected to occur that would cause an increase in the cost of providing benefits under any ERISA Plan, except to the extent any such increases individually or in the aggregate do not have or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a): (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a), (b) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the “remedial amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely), (c) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial amendment period” has not yet expired, (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), without regard to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment” period, and (e) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4972; provided, however, that an ERISA Plan and any associated trust shall not be treated as having failed to meet any of the requirements set forth in preceding items (a) through (e), if the failure is correctable under Part IV or V of Revenue Procedure 2006-27 or a subsequent Revenue Procedure or if the failure has not had or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to any Pension Plan, the “accumulated benefit obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to such Pension Plan (as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers' Accounting for Pensions”) does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets by an amount that individually or in the aggregate has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10 Consents or Approvals. No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any governmental authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or completed by Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan Documents that has not already been obtained or completed.

Section 4.11 Solvency. Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that Borrower has incurred to the Agent and the Lenders. Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to Agent and the Lenders. Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to Agent and the Lenders incurred hereunder. Borrower does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

Section 4.12 Financial Statements. The audited Consolidated financial statements of Borrower for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, and the unaudited interim Consolidated financial statements of Borrower for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2007, each as filed with the SEC in connection with Borrower’s Form 10-Q and Form 10-K and each as furnished to Agent and the Lenders have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial condition of the Companies as of the date of such financial statements and the results of their operations for the period then ending. Since the dates of such statements, there has been no change in any Company’s accounting procedures.

Section 4.13 [Reserved].

Section 4.14 Regulations. Borrower is not engaged principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America). Neither

the granting of any Loan (or any conversion thereof) or the issuing of any Letter of Credit nor the use of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of such Board of Governors, including Regulation U and X.

Section 4.15 Material Agreements. Borrower is current in its reporting of material agreements in its quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, as required by the rules of the SEC.

Section 4.16 Intellectual Property. Each Company owns, possesses, or has the right to use all of the patents, patent applications, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and licenses and rights with respect to the foregoing, necessary for the conduct of its business without any known conflict with the rights of others, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect or, with respect to any known conflict, if such conflict were determined adversely to such Company, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.17 Insurance. Borrower and each Material Subsidiary maintains with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with coverage and limits as required by law and on such terms and in such amounts as Borrower reasonably deems prudent.

Section 4.18 Investment Company. No Company is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any foreign, federal, state or local statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur Indebtedness.

Section 4.19 Accurate and Complete Statements. Neither the Loan Documents nor any written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in the Loan Documents not misleading. After due inquiry by Borrower, there is no known fact that any Company has not disclosed to Agent and the Lenders that has or would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.20 Defaults. No Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, nor will any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof.

Section 4.21 Anti-Terrorism Law Compliance. Borrower is not subject to or in violation of any law, regulation, or list of any government agency (including, without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list, Executive Order No. 13224 or the USA Patriot Act) that prohibits or limits the conduct of business with or the receiving of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of certain Persons specified therein or that prohibits or limits any Lender from making any advance or extension of credit to Borrower or from otherwise conducting business with Borrower.

If any Event of Default referred to in Section 7.01, Section 7.02, Section 7.03, Section 7.04, Section 7.05, Section 7.06, Section 7.07, Section 7.08, or Section 7.09 hereof shall occur, Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, give written notice to Borrower, to:

(a) terminate the Commitment and the credits hereby established, if not previously terminated, and, immediately upon such election, the obligations of the Lenders, and each thereof, to make any Loan, the obligation of Agent to make any Swing Loan, and the obligation of the LC Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder immediately shall be terminated, and/or

(b) accelerate the maturity of all of the Debt (if the Debt is not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Debt shall become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower.

Section 8.02 Automatic Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 7.10 hereof shall occur:

(a) all of the Commitment and the credits hereby established shall automatically and immediately terminate, if not previously terminated, no Lender thereafter shall be obligated to grant any Loan, Agent shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan, and the LC Issuer shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder, and

(b) the outstanding principal, interest and any other amounts on all of the Notes, and all of the other Debt, shall thereupon become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full (if the Debt is not already due and payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which are hereby waived by Borrower.

Section 8.03 Letters of Credit. If the maturity of the Notes is accelerated pursuant to Sections 8.01 or 8.02 hereof, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Agent, as security for Borrower’s and any other Company’s obligations to reimburse the LC Issuer and the Lenders for any then outstanding Letters of Credit, cash equal to the sum of the aggregate undrawn balance of any then outstanding Letters of Credit. The LC Issuer and the Lenders are hereby authorized, at their option, to deduct any and all such amounts from any deposit balances then owing by any Lender to or for the credit or account of any Company, as security for Borrower’s and any other Company’s obligations to reimburse the LC Issuer and the Lenders for any then outstanding Letters of Credit.

Section 8.04 Offsets. In addition to the rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or otherwise provided in law or equity, if there shall occur or exist any Event of Default referred to in Section 7.10 hereof or if the maturity of the Notes is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 hereof, Agent and each Lender (and such Lender’s affiliates) shall have the right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate and apply toward the payment of, any and all Debt then owing by Borrower to Agent or that Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.02(b) or Section 8.05 hereof), whether or not the same shall then have matured, any and all deposit balances and all other indebtedness then held or owing by Agent or that Lender (and such Lender’s affiliates) to or for the credit or account of Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment, all without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any other Person, all such notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 8.05 Equalization Provision. Each Lender agrees with the other Lenders that if it, at any time, shall obtain any Advantage over the other Lenders or any thereof in respect of the Debt (except as to Swing Loans and except under Article III hereof), it shall purchase from the other Lenders, for cash and at par, such additional participation in the Debt as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage. If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of an additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Lender receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored (but without

interest unless the Lender receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the Advantage from such Lender) ratably to the extent of the recovery. Each Lender further agrees with the other Lenders that if it at any time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of Borrower on any indebtedness owing by Borrower to that Lender by reason of offset of any deposit or other indebtedness, it will apply such payment first to any and all Debt owing by Borrower to that Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this Section or any other Section of this Agreement). Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders or any thereof pursuant to this Section may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender was a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

All obligations provided for in this Section 10.06 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Obligations Several; No Fiduciary Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Agent or the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No default by any Lender hereunder shall excuse the other Lenders from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Lender shall have or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of such default. The relationship among Borrower and the Lenders with respect to the Loan Documents and the Related Writings is and shall be solely that of debtor and creditors, respectively, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary obligation toward Borrower with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 10.08 Execution in Counterparts.

(a) Each Lender shall have the right, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 10.10, at any time or times to assign to one or more commercial banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institution or fund which, in each case, in the ordinary course of business extends credit of the type contemplated herein and whose becoming an assignee would not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 4975 of ERISA, without recourse, all or a percentage of all of such Lender’s Commitment, all Loans made by such Lender, such Lender’s Notes, and such Lender’s interest in any participation purchased pursuant to Section 2.02(b) or Section 8.05 hereof.

(b) No assignment may be consummated pursuant to this Section 10.10 without the prior written consent of Borrower and Agent (other than an assignment by any Lender to any affiliate of such Lender which affiliate is either wholly-owned by such Lender or is wholly-owned by a Person that wholly owns, either directly or indirectly, such Lender), which consent of Borrower and Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, Borrower’s consent shall not be required if, (i) such assignment is to another Lender, or (ii) at the time of the proposed assignment, any Default or Event of Default shall then exist. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time make a collateral assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, and no such assignment shall release such assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(c) Each assignment made pursuant to this Section 10.10 shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of $5,000,000 of the assignor’s Commitment and interest herein or the entire amount of the assignor’s Commitment and interest herein.

(d) Unless an assignment made pursuant to this Section 10.10 shall be to an affiliate of the assignor or the assignment shall be due to merger of the assignor or for regulatory purposes, either the assignor or the assignee shall remit to Agent, for its own account, an administrative fee of $3,500.

(e) Unless an assignment made pursuant to this Section 10.10 shall be due to merger of the assignor or a collateral assignment for regulatory purposes, the assignor shall (i) cause the assignee to execute and deliver to Borrower and Agent an Assignment Agreement and (ii) execute and deliver, or cause the assignee to execute and deliver, as the case may be, to Agent such additional amendments, assurances and other writings as Agent may reasonably require.

(f) If an assignment made pursuant to this Section 10.10 is to be made to an assignee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, the assignor Lender shall cause such assignee, at least five Business Days prior to the effective date of such assignment, (i) to represent to the assignor Lender (for the benefit of the assignor Lender, Agent and Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by Agent, Borrower or the assignor with respect to any payments to be made to such assignee in respect of the Loans hereunder, (ii) to furnish to the assignor (and, in the case of any assignee registered in the Register (as defined below), Agent and Borrower) either (A) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or (B) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable (wherein such assignee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder), and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the assignor, Agent and Borrower) to provide the assignor Lender (and, in the case of any assignee registered in the Register, Agent and Borrower) a new Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such assignee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

the obligations of the assignor) required to be delivered by Borrower in connection with the Assignment Agreement, and (ii) to the assignee or the assignor (if applicable), an appropriate Note or Notes. After delivery of the new Note or Notes, the assignor’s Note or Notes being replaced shall be returned to Borrower marked “replaced”.

(h) Upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements specified in subparts (a) though (f) above, and any other condition contained in this Section 10.10, (i) the assignee shall become and thereafter be deemed to be a “Lender” for the purposes of this Agreement, (ii) the Assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent its interest has been assigned, (iii) in the event that the assignor’s entire interest has been assigned, the assignor shall cease to be and thereafter shall no longer be deemed to be a “Lender” and (iv) the signature pages hereto and Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended, without further action, to reflect the result of any such assignment.

(i) Agent shall maintain at the address for notices referred to in Section 10.04 hereof a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may treat each financial institution whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 10.11 Participations.

(a) Each Lender shall have the right at any time or times, without the consent of Agent or Borrower, to sell one or more participations or sub-participations to a financial institution or other “accredited investor” (as defined in SEC Regulation D), as the case may be, in all or any part of such Lender’s Commitment, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, any Loan made by such Lender, any Note delivered to such Lender pursuant to this Agreement, and such Lender’s interest in any participation, if any, purchased pursuant to Section 2.02(b), Section 8.05 or this Section 10.11.

(b) The provisions of Article III and Section 10.06 shall inure to the benefit of each purchaser of a participation or sub-participation and Agent shall continue to distribute payments pursuant to this Agreement as if no participation has been sold.

(c) If any Lender shall sell any participation or sub-participation pursuant to this Section 10.11, such Lender shall, as between itself and the purchaser, retain all of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to enforce against Borrower the Loan

Documents and the Related Writings) and duties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Related Writings, including, without limitation, such Lender’s right to approve any waiver, consent or amendment pursuant to Section 10.03, except if and to the extent that any such waiver, consent or amendment would:

(i)

reduce any fee or commission allocated to the participation or sub-participation, as the case may be,

(ii)

reduce the amount of any principal payment on any Loan allocated to the participation or sub-participation, as the case may be, or reduce the principal amount of any Loan so allocated or the rate of interest payable thereon, or

(iii)

extend the time for payment of any amount allocated to the participation or sub-participation, as the case may be.

(d) No participation or sub-participation shall operate as a delegation of any duty of the seller thereof.

(e) Under no circumstance shall any participation or sub-participation be deemed a novation in respect of all or any part of the seller’s obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Severability of Provisions; Captions; Attachments. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The several captions to Sections and subsections herein are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement. Each schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement shall be incorporated herein and shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

Section 10.13 Judgment Currency. If Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, obtains a judgment or judgments against Borrower in an Alternate Currency, the obligations of Borrower in respect of any sum adjudged to be due to Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Judgment Amount”) shall be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by Agent of the Judgment Amount in the Alternate Currency, Agent, in accordance with normal banking procedures, may purchase Dollars with the Judgment Amount in such Alternate Currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates the Judgment Amount (excluding the portion of the Judgment Amount which has accrued as a result of the failure of Borrower to pay the sum originally due hereunder or under the Notes when it was originally due hereunder or under the Notes) was originally due and owing (the “Original Due Date”) to Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the Notes (the “Loss”), Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against the Loss, and if the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the Original Due Date, Agent or such Lender agrees to remit such excess to Borrower.

Section 10.14 Investment Purpose. Each of the Lenders represents and warrants to Borrower that it is entering into this Agreement with the present intention of acquiring any Note issued pursuant hereto for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of distribution or resale, it being understood, however, that each Lender shall at all times retain full control over the disposition of its assets.

Section 10.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, any Note and any other Loan Document or other agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or executed on or as of the Closing Date integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 10.16 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement, each of the Notes and any Related Writing shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio and the respective rights and obligations of Borrower and the Lenders shall be governed by Ohio law, without regard to principles of conflict of laws; provided, however, that, with respect to Letters of Credit, except to the extent inconsistent with the laws of the State of Ohio or otherwise expressly stated in any such Letter of Credit, Letters of Credit shall be subject to the terms of (a) with respect to matters relating to standby Letters of Credit and LC Applications therefor, the ISP or the UCP, at the option of the LC Applicant, and (b) with respect to matters relating to commercial Letters of Credit and LC Applications therefor, the UCP. Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state or federal court sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt or any Related Writing, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state or federal court. Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. Borrower agrees that a final, nonappealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 10.17 Legal Representation of Parties. The Loan Documents were negotiated by the parties with the benefit of legal representation and any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be construed or interpreted against any party shall not apply to any construction or interpretation hereof or thereof.

Section 10.18 Source of Funds. Each of the Lenders hereby severally (and not jointly) represents to Borrower that no part of the funds to be used by such Lender to fund the Loans hereunder from time to time constitutes (a) assets allocated to any separate account maintained by such Lender in which any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) has any interest nor (b) any other assets of any employee benefit plan. As used in this Section, the terms “employee benefit plan” and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of ERISA.

Section 10.19 Confidential Information. For the purposes of this Section, “Confidential Information” means information provided to a Lender by or on behalf of a Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is confidential and/or proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified in writing (or verbally in the case of an oral communication) when received by such Lender as being confidential information; provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Lender prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Lender or any Person acting on such Lender’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Lender other than through disclosure by a Company or any other Lender, or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered or made available to such Lender under Article V that are otherwise publicly available. Each Lender will maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information provided to the Lender in accordance with reasonable procedures adopted by such Lender in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Lender, provided that such Lender may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and Affiliates (which Affiliates have agreed to hold confidential the confidential information) (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to this Agreement), (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section, (iii) any other Lender, (iv) any permitted assignee to which such Lender proposes to make, or makes, an assignment pursuant to and permitted by Section 10.10 (and provided such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section), (v) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Lender to the extent required, or (vi) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be required (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Lender, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Lender is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Lender may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of such Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each assignee pursuant to Section 10.10 shall enter into such agreement with Borrower confirming that such assignee is bound by the provisions of this Section as Borrower may reasonably request.

Section 10.20 Jury Trial Waiver. BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH OF THE LENDERS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG BORROWER, AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY THEREOF, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.
