If any Lender does not make such amount available to the Domestic Agent by the time prescribed above, but such amount is received later that day, such amount may be credited to the Borrower in the manner described in the preceding sentence on the next Business Day (with interest on such amount to begin accruing hereunder on such next Business Day).

(e) (2) Whenever the Borrower desires to convert all or a portion of an outstanding Domestic Syndicated Borrowing made to it as a Base Rate Advance or Eurodollar Advance into one or more Domestic Syndicated Borrowings consisting of an Advance of another Type, or to continue outstanding a Domestic Syndicated Borrowing made to it as a Eurodollar Advance for a new Interest Period, it shall give the Domestic Agent (1) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each such Domestic Syndicated Borrowing to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and (2) at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each such Domestic Syndicated Borrowing to be converted into or continued as a Base Rate Advance. Such notice (each a “Notice of Domestic Conversion/Continuation”) shall be given prior to 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date specified. Each such Notice of Domestic Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Advance to be converted or continued, the date of such conversion or continuation, and the Interest Period to be applicable thereto.

(ii) If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Domestic Syndicated Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed, or pursuant to the following clause (iii) be unable, to deliver the Notice of Domestic Conversion/Continuation, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert or continue such Domestic Syndicated Borrowing to a Domestic Syndicated Borrowing made as a Base Rate Advance.

(iii) So long as any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Domestic Syndicated Borrowing may be converted into or continued as (upon expiration of the current Interest Period) a Eurodollar Advance.

(iv) No conversion of any Domestic Syndicated Borrowing made as a Eurodollar Advance shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.

(f) The Borrower’s obligations to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Domestic Syndicated Loans to each Lender shall be evidenced by the records of the Domestic Agent and such Lender and by the Domestic Syndicated Note payable to such Lender (or the assignor of such Lender) completed in conformity with this Agreement.

(g) All outstanding principal amounts under the Domestic Syndicated Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.03. Reductions of Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments and Mandatory Repayments.

(a) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) to the Domestic Agent, Interface shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to reduce the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments, in part or in whole; provided that (i) any such reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and permanently the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments of each of the Lenders, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be in an amount of at least $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000, and (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which would (A) require a prepayment that is not permitted by Section 4.06, (B) reduce the total Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments to an amount less than the total outstanding Extensions of Credit, or (C) be prohibited by the immediately following sentence.

(b) If any Senior Note, any Senior Subordinated Note or any other Subordinated Debt having terms requiring prepayments or commitment reductions from any Asset Sales is outstanding or in effect, then:

(i) No mandatory permanent reductions in Commitments or mandatory prepayments shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) until the aggregate amount of Asset Sales occurring after January 17, 2002, exceeds $15,000,000 (based upon the Asset Values thereof, but excluding in the foregoing computation and from the requirements of this Section 2.03(b), (A) Asset Sales resulting from loss, damage, destruction, or taking where the proceeds thereof are utilized so as to be excluded from the definition of Net Proceeds and (B) Asset Sales occurring as a part of any sale and leaseback transactions permitted pursuant to Section 8.06).

(ii) If, within fifteen months following any Asset Sale at and after the time such Asset Values have exceeded $15,000,000, the entire amount of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale have not been (A) applied to an investment in Replacement Assets or (B) applied to repay any of the Senior Notes or the Senior Subordinated Notes solely to the extent such repayment is permitted pursuant to Section 8.08, then the Borrower shall repay the outstanding Domestic Revolving Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds (which Net Proceeds shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(e)), and the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount; provided that any such reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and permanently the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments of each of the Lenders.

(c) If the Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes and all other Subordinated Debt having terms requiring prepayments or commitment reductions from any Asset Sales are no longer outstanding or in effect, then, within two Business Days following the receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall repay the outstanding Domestic Revolving Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds (which Net Proceeds shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(e)).

(d) If the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Extensions of Credit exceeds at any time the Domestic Borrowing Limit, then the Borrower shall immediately repay applicable Extensions of Credit in an amount equal to such excess so that, after such repayment,

such condition would not be true, together with all accrued but unpaid interest on such excess amount with such repayment applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(e).

(e) Each repayment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.03(b), (c) or (d) shall be applied (i) first, if (and to the extent) necessary to eliminate such excess, to repay outstanding Domestic Settlement Loans, (ii) second, if (and to the extent) necessary to eliminate such excess, to repay outstanding Domestic Syndicated Loans which are Base Rate Advances, (iii) third, if (and to the extent) necessary to eliminate such excess, to repay outstanding Domestic Syndicated Loans which are LIBOR Advances, (iv) fourth, if (and to the extent) necessary to eliminate such excess, with respect to any Letters of Credit then outstanding, to make a payment of cash collateral in Dollars into an account established and continually maintained by Interface with the Collateral Agent, and over which the Collateral Agent shall have “control” as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC, in an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit, to be applied in accordance with the terms of Article IX.

(f) No repayment or prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall affect any of the Borrower’s obligations under any Hedging Agreement.

Section 2.04. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.05. Domestic Settlement Loans.

(a) To facilitate the administration of the Domestic Syndicated Loans under this Agreement, the Lenders agree (which agreement shall neither be for the benefit of, nor enforceable by, Borrower) that settlement among the Lenders with respect to the Domestic Syndicated Loans will take place weekly on the same day of the week established by the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender or, if any such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately following Business Day (each such day, a “Domestic Settlement Date”), which may occur (i) before or after the occurrence or during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default and (ii) whether or not all of the conditions set forth in Article V or any other conditions to the funding or making of any Domestic Syndicated Loan contained herein have been satisfied; provided, that any such Settlement Loan for which settlement is to be made must have been advanced before the date on which the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments have been terminated pursuant to Article 9. On each Domestic Settlement Date, payment shall be made by or to each Lender in the manner provided herein and in accordance with a written report delivered by the Domestic Agent to the Lenders with respect to such Domestic Settlement Date so that, as of each Domestic Settlement Date, each Lender shall hold its Pro Rata Share of all Domestic Syndicated Loans then outstanding. As of the Closing Date, the Domestic Agent intends to request settlement with the Lender once every five (5) Domestic Business Days.

(b) Between Domestic Settlement Dates, the Domestic Agent may request the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender to advance, and the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, advance to the Borrower out of the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender’s own funds the entire principal amount of any Advance (which is to comprise Domestic Syndicated Loans and is to be made as a Base Rate Advance) requested or deemed requested pursuant to this Agreement (any such Domestic Syndicated Loan funded exclusively by the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender being referred to as a “Domestic Settlement Loan”). The aggregate principal amount of the Domestic Settlement Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $10,000,000, and each Domestic Settlement Loan shall be in any amount to which the Domestic Agent and the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender agree. Each Domestic Settlement Loan shall constitute a Domestic Syndicated Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and security applicable to other Domestic Syndicated Loans, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender solely for its own account.

(c) The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Domestic Settlement Loans made to it shall be evidenced by the records of the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender and need not be evidenced by any promissory note (unless requested by the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender). The Domestic Agent shall not request the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender to make any Domestic Settlement Loan if (i) the Domestic Agent shall have actual knowledge that, or shall have received written notice from any Lender that, one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V or any other conditions to the funding or making of any Domestic Syndicated Loan contained herein will not be satisfied on the requested funding date for the applicable Borrowing or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Domestic Syndicated Loans permitted to be made under Sections 2.01 and 2.02. The Domestic Settlement Loan Lender shall not otherwise be required to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V or any other conditions to the funding or making of any Domestic Syndicated Loan contained herein have been satisfied or the requested Borrowing would exceed the amount of Domestic Syndicated Loans permitted to be made under Sections 2.01 and 2.02 before making, in its sole discretion, any Domestic Settlement Loan.

(d) On each Domestic Settlement Date, or, if earlier, upon demand by the Domestic Agent for payment thereof, the then outstanding Domestic Settlement Loans shall be immediately due and payable. The Borrower shall be deemed to have requested Domestic Syndicated Loans to be made on each Domestic Settlement Date in the amount of all outstanding Domestic Settlement Loans and the proceeds of such Domestic Syndicated Loans shall be applied to the repayment of such Domestic Settlement Loans. The Domestic Agent shall notify the Lenders of the outstanding balance of Domestic Syndicated Loans prior to 12:00 noon, Charlotte, North Carolina, time, on such funding date.

(e) The proceeds of Domestic Settlement Loans may be used solely for purposes for which Domestic Syndicated Loans may be used in accordance with Section 2.07 hereof.

(f) If any amounts received by the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender in respect of any Domestic Settlement Loans are later required to be returned or repaid by the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender to the Borrower, or its representatives or successors-in-interest, whether by court order, settlement or otherwise, each Lender shall, upon demand by the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender with notice to Domestic Agent, pay to the Domestic Agent for the account of the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such amounts required to be returned by the Domestic Settlement Loan Lender.

Section 2.06. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.07. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Domestic Syndicated Loans and the Domestic Settlement Loans made to the Borrower shall be used as provided in Section 2.08, as working capital and for other general corporate purposes of Borrower and its respective Subsidiaries (to the extent not otherwise prohibited herein), including, without limitation the financing of ongoing capital expenditures and for the payment of principal (at stated maturity or otherwise) together with interest on, and the repurchase of any of, the Senior Notes or the Senior Subordinated Notes to the extent such payments and repurchases are otherwise permitted by Section 8.08.

Section 2.08. Application of this Agreement.

(a) On the Closing Date, the aggregate Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments of the Lenders shall be $125,000,000 in aggregate principal amount. After giving effect to the foregoing actions and the 2006 Initial Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments of the Lenders shall be as set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) hereto.

(b) All Borrowings of Domestic Syndicated Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 and all continuations and conversions of outstanding Domestic Syndicated Loans pursuant to Section 2.02 occurring after the Closing Date shall be made on the basis of the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments as provided in this Agreement.

(c) The respective obligations of the Borrower to pay the principal of, and interest on, all Domestic Syndicated Loans made to it under the Domestic Syndicated Note being executed and delivered on the Closing Date by Borrower shall be evidenced by the records of the Domestic Agent and each such Lender and by such Domestic Syndicated Note payable to such Lender completed in conformity with this Agreement.

(d) From and after the Closing Date, all references in this Agreement to the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments shall be deemed to include the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments as provided in this Section 2.08 (subject, however, to subsequent increases or decreases from time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement).

(e) As provided in the 2006 Initial Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the “UK Multicurrency Syndicated Loan Commitments,” the “UK Multicurrency Swing Line Commitment,” and the “UK Multicurrency L/C Subcommitment” (as each such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) have been terminated. As of the Closing Date, one “UK Multicurrency Letter of Credit” (as such term is defined under the Existing Credit Agreement) which was issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement in favor of National Westminster plc on the account of Interface Europe Ltd remains outstanding (the “Outstanding UK LC”). Borrower hereby unconditionally guarantees the full payment of all existing or hereafter arising reimbursement obligations relating to the Outstanding UK LC and acknowledges and agrees that such reimbursement obligations shall constitute part of the Obligations and be secured by the Collateral, notwithstanding any termination of the UK Multicurrency L/C Subcommitment. Borrower agrees that it shall cause the Outstanding UK LC to be terminated as soon after the Closing Date as is commercially reasonable and hereby authorizes Wachovia to take such lawful action with respect to the termination thereof as

Wachovia deems reasonably appropriate. Until such time as the Outstanding UK LC shall have been terminated to the reasonable satisfaction of Wachovia and all unreimbursed amounts therefor shall have been paid, the Domestic Agent may institute an Other Reserve in an amount up to 103% of the undrawn and unreimbursed amount thereof. To the extent any obligations exist as of the Closing Date or thereafter with respect to the “UK Multicurrency Syndicated Loan Commitments,” the “UK Multicurrency Swing Line Commitment,” and the “UK Multicurrency L/C Subcommitment” (as each such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement), other than with respect to the Outstanding UK LC, all of such obligations may be paid by the Domestic Agent with the proceeds of a Domestic Syndicated Revolving Loan, the request for which shall have been deemed to have been made by Borrower (after notice thereof shall have been given to Borrower, unless, at the time of such deemed request, an Event of Default exists).

(f) In connection with the consummation of this Agreement, the Domestic Agent and the Collateral Agent are entering into that certain Second Global Amendment and Master Acknowledgment Agreement with the Borrower and certain of its Subsidiaries. Each Lender party hereto consents to the Domestic Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s execution and delivery thereof and the amendments and acknowledgments set forth therein.

Section 2.09. Increase in Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments.

(a) The Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments may be increased from time to time (but not more than two times during any consecutive 12-month period) up to an additional $25,000,000, with each such increase being equal to or greater than $10,000,000 and in larger increments of $5,000,000, for a maximum aggregate amount of Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments of $150,000,000; provided, however, that no such increase shall be effective unless:

(i) The Domestic Agent shall have received written notice from Interface of its desire to increase the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments and the amount of the desired increase;

(ii) The Domestic Agent shall have received one or more additional commitments from existing Lenders (as provided below in subparagraph (b), below) or such other Person satisfying the terms and conditions set forth in subparagraph (c), below;

(iii) All conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.03 shall be, as of the date such increased Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments shall become effective, satisfied;

(iv) The Domestic Agent shall have consented to such increase (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(v) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time any such request is made by Interface or at the time such increase would otherwise become effective;

(vi) Any additional arrangement or syndication fees shall have been paid to the Domestic Agent and the Lender or Lenders who will provide the additional Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments requested by Interface; and

(vii) any required indemnification provided for in Section 4.12 has been paid.

(b) Upon its receipt of any written request to increase the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments, the Domestic Agent will deliver such notice to each of the Lenders. If any then existing Lender desires to provide all or any part of such increase, it must, within five Business Days of its receipt of such notice from the Domestic Agent, respond to the Domestic Agent in writing, which response must clearly indicate the amount of such increase such responding Lender would like to provide (in increments of at least $1,000,000). If the aggregate amount of additional commitments proposed by the responding Lenders exceeds the amount of the increase requested by Interface, then the Domestic Agent shall allocate the increase among the responding Lenders in its discretion, provided that the Domestic Agent will not allocate to any Lender an increase greater than that included in such Lender’s response. No Lender shall have any obligation to provide any increase.

(c) If the then existing Lenders do not provide additional commitments to meet the requested increase, then any other Person or Persons who, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Domestic Agent, would constitute Eligible Assignees and who are acceptable to Domestic Agent may join this Agreement as Lenders by executing and delivering a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Domestic Agent and otherwise providing all documentation as would be required of an Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 11.06 and elsewhere in this Agreement, all to the extent requested by the Domestic Agent, whereupon such Persons shall be deemed Lenders for all purposes hereunder. The Domestic Agent shall, in its discretion, allocate any requested increase among the existing Lenders who responded to such requested increase and any Persons who become Lenders pursuant to this subsection (c), provided that the Domestic Agent shall not allocate to any Lender an increase greater than that contained in such Lender’s response.

(d) To the extent deemed reasonably necessary by the Domestic Agent, each Lender shall sell to or purchase from, as applicable, each other Lender an amount necessary to place the aggregate outstanding amount of such Lender's Loans in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, in light of such increase and reallocation of the Loans (with the Borrower being liable for any indemnification required pursuant to Section 4.12). Upon the effectiveness of any increase to the Domestic Syndicated Revolving Loan Commitments, the Domestic Agent may modify Schedule 1.1(a) to reflect the revised Pro Rata Share and Commitments of each of the Lenders. Any Lender that increases its Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitment pursuant to this section shall be entitled to request and receive replacement Notes reflecting its revised Commitments.

(e) All parties hereto agree that any increase in the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitment effected solely pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall not require any formal amendment to this Agreement.

Section 2.10. Introduction of Additional Assets into the Domestic Borrowing Base; Re-Appraisal of Certain Real Property at Borrower’s Request.

(a) No sooner than twelve months following the Closing Date and, thereafter, not more than once during any consecutive twelve-month period, Borrower may introduce additional items of the Credit Parties’ equipment into the Domestic Borrowing Base by giving the Domestic Agent written notice thereof and attaching to such notice, a list identifying

all items of equipment Interface desires to introduce into the Domestic Borrowing Base, the Credit Party which owns each such item of equipment, and the location of each such item of equipment. Upon receipt of such notice, the Domestic Agent will, within a commercially reasonable time, order a Qualified Appraisal of the equipment identified therein, unless a Qualified Appraisal acceptable to the Domestic Agent and respecting such equipment already exists, and will use the results of such new or existing Qualified Appraisal to determine the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of such equipment. Thereafter, on the first day of the first fiscal month following the date on which Interface delivers to the Domestic Agent a new Domestic Borrowing Base Certificate taking such items of equipment into account, or such later date agreed to by Interface and the Domestic Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, all of such items of equipment which, on such date, constitute Eligible Equipment (as determined by the Domestic Agent in its reasonable credit judgment) will constitute a new Equipment Group and shall be introduced into the Domestic Borrowing Base. All of the Credit Parties’ equipment which constitutes Eligible Equipment as of the Closing Date shall constitute the initial Equipment Group.

(b) At any time after the Closing Date, Borrower may introduce parcels of the Credit Parties’ Real Property into the Domestic Borrowing Base by giving the Domestic Agent written notice thereof and attaching to such notice, a list identifying all parcels of Real Property Interface desires to introduce into the Domestic Borrowing Base, the Credit Party which owns each such parcel of Real Property, and the location of each such parcel of Real Property. Upon receipt of such notice, the Domestic Agent will, within a commercially reasonable time, order a Qualified Appraisal of the parcels of Real Property identified therein, unless a Qualified Appraisal acceptable to the Domestic Agent and respecting such Real Property already exists, and will use the results of such new or existing Qualified Appraisal to determine the Fair Market Value of such Real Property. Thereafter, on (i) the first day of the first fiscal month following the date on which Interface delivers to the Domestic Agent (A) a new Domestic Borrowing Base Certificate taking such parcels of Real Property into account and (B) a covenant compliance certificate in form and substance satisfactory to the Domestic Agent (and signed by the president, chief financial officer, or principal accounting officer of Interface) showing with reasonable detail that, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of the last day of the two most recently ended fiscal quarters, in each case determined for each of such fiscal quarters and its immediately preceding three fiscal quarters, exceeded 1.20 to 1.00, or (ii) such later date agreed to by Interface and the Domestic Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, all of such parcels of Real Property which, on such date, constitute Eligible Real Property (as determined by the Domestic Agent in its reasonable credit judgment) will constitute a new Real Property Group and shall be introduced into the Domestic Borrowing Base.

(c) At any one time later than twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrower may request a re-appraisal of (i) the parcels of Real Property which have, before such date, been allocated to any Real Property Group or Real Estate Groups (but, for purposes of clarification, if any one parcel in a Real Property Group is re-appraised, then all of the parcels in that same Real Property Group must also be re-appraised) and (ii) any other parcels of Real Property which the Borrower desires to include in a Real Property Group by submitting to the Domestic Agent a written request for such reappraisal which (x) sets forth a reasonable description of each

such parcel to be subjected to such appraisal and (y) is accompanied by a covenant compliance certificate in form and substance satisfactory to the Domestic Agent and (signed by the president, chief financial officer, or principal accounting officer of Interface) showing with reasonable detail that, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of the last day of the two most recently ended fiscal quarters, in each case determined for each of such fiscal quarters and its immediately preceding three fiscal quarters, exceeded 1.20 to 1.00. Upon receipt of such notice and certificate, the Domestic Agent shall, within a commercially reasonable time, order a Qualified Appraisal of all of such parcels of Real Property, and, upon obtaining the results thereof, the Domestic Agent will use the results of such Qualified Appraisal to determine the Fair Market Value of all of such parcels of Real Property. Thereafter, on the first day of the first fiscal month following the date on which Interface delivers to the Domestic Agent a new Domestic Borrowing Base Certificate taking all of such parcels of Real Property into account, or such later date agreed to by Interface and the Domestic Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, (A) all of such parcels of Real Property which, on such date, constitute Eligible Real Property (as determined by the Domestic Agent in its reasonable credit judgment) shall be deemed to constitute a new Real Property Group, (B) such new Real Property Group shall be deemed for all purposes hereunder to have been created on such date, (C) all of such Real Property shall be introduced into the Domestic Borrowing Base, and (D) all other Real Property Groups which have been effectively consolidated into such new Real Property Group shall be deemed no longer to exist.

(a) In the event of any request or demand for payment under any Domestic Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Domestic L/C Issuer shall promptly notify Interface (which notice shall be deemed to be notice to the applicable L/C Account Party as well), the Domestic Agent and the Participating Lenders and, in any event, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Domestic Letter of Credit or the terms of such Domestic Letter of Credit require the honoring of a drawing thereunder on the date of, or the Business Day after,

such drawing, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the Domestic L/C Issuer intends to honor such drawing; and the L/C Account Party, or Interface on behalf of such L/C Account Party, shall reimburse the Domestic L/C Issuer on the day on which such drawing is honored in same day funds in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing; provided that, unless the applicable L/C Account Party or Interface, on behalf of such L/C Account Party, shall have paid to the Domestic L/C Issuer prior to 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such drawing is to be honored an amount in immediately available funds sufficient to reimburse the Domestic L/C Issuer for the amount of such drawing, a Domestic Syndicated Borrowing Notice shall be deemed to have been made in accordance with Section 2.02(c)(ii); provided that, solely for purposes of such Domestic Syndicated Borrowing, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.03 of the Credit Agreement shall not be applicable; provided further that, if for any reason, the proceeds of one or more Domestic Syndicated Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(c)(ii) are not received by the Domestic L/C Issuer on the date of the drawing against such Domestic Letter of Credit was honored in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, the L/C Account Party or Interface, on behalf of such L/C Account Party, hereby agrees to reimburse the Domestic L/C Issuer, on the Business Day immediately following the date of such drawing, in an amount in immediately available funds equal to the excess of the amount of such drawing over the amount of such Domestic Syndicated Loans, if any, which are so received by the Domestic Agent from the Lenders, plus accrued interest on such amount at the Base Rate (plus the Applicable Margin).

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) Any payments owed by an L/C Account Party or Interface pursuant to this Section 2A.03 which are made later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made under this Section 2A.03 shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.

(d) Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Domestic Agent and the Domestic L/C Issuer from and against any and all losses, liabilities (including liabilities for penalties), actions, suits, judgments, demands, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) resulting from any failure on the part of such Lender (except to the extent caused by the Domestic Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) to provide, on the same day of any drawing under a Domestic Letter of Credit, the Domestic Agent with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any drawing under such Domestic Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2A.03.

Section 2A.04. Payment by Participating Lenders.

(a) In the event any L/C Account Party or Interface, on behalf of such L/C Account Party, shall fail to reimburse the Domestic L/C Issuer as provided in Section 2A.03 by borrowing Domestic Syndicated Loans or otherwise for all or any portion, as the case may be, of any drawing honored by the Domestic L/C Issuer under a Domestic Letter of Credit, the Domestic Agent shall promptly notify each Participating Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such drawing and the amount of such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata Share therein. Each Participating Lender shall make available to the Domestic Agent, for the account of the Domestic L/C Issuer, an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share with respect to Domestic

Letters of Credit of such unreimbursed payment in immediately available funds, at the office of the Domestic Agent specified in such notice, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the Business Day after the date notified by the Domestic Agent. In the event that any such Participating Lender fails to make available for the account of the Domestic L/C Issuer the amount of such Participating Lender’s Pro Rata Share with respect to Domestic Letters of Credit of such unreimbursed payment as provided in this Section 2A.04(a), the Domestic L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Participating Lender together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate during such period as determined by the Domestic L/C Issuer. Nothing in Section 2A.03 or this Section 2A.04(a) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Participating Lender to recover from the Domestic L/C Issuer any amounts made available by such Participating Lender pursuant to Section 2A.03 or this Section 2A.04(a) in the event that the payment with respect to a Domestic Letter of Credit by the Domestic L/C Issuer in respect of which payment was made by such Participating Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) on the part of the Domestic L/C Issuer. The Domestic L/C Issuer shall distribute to each other Participating Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2A.04(a) with respect to any Domestic Letter of Credit such other Participating Lender’s share (based on the proportionate aggregate amount funded by such Participating Lender to the aggregate amount funded by all Participating Lenders) of all payments received by the Domestic L/C Issuer from the applicable L/C Account Party or Interface, on behalf of such L/C Account Party, in reimbursement of drawings previously honored by the Domestic L/C Issuer under the Domestic Letter of Credit when such payments are received (including payments of interest payable with respect to the period commencing on the date of the funding of such participation).

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2A.05. Compensation.

(a) Interface agrees to pay, or to cause the applicable L/C Account Party to pay, to the Domestic Agent for distribution to the Domestic L/C Issuer and each Participating Lender in respect of each Domestic Letter of Credit outstanding for the account of such L/C Account Party such Domestic L/C Issuer’s and Participating Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Domestic Letter of Credit fee equal to (i) the average maximum daily amount available to be drawn under such Domestic Letter of Credit, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable L/C Fee Rate, such fee being payable in each case in Dollars and quarterly in arrears, commencing on the date of issuance of the Domestic Letter of Credit (for the remainder of the fiscal quarter of Interface in which such Domestic Letter of Credit is issued) and on the last calendar day of each of Interface’s fiscal quarters thereafter until the expiration of such Domestic Letter of Credit. Promptly upon receipt by the Domestic Agent of any amount described in this Section 2A.05(a), the Domestic Agent shall distribute to the Domestic L/C Issuer and each Participating Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) Interface agrees to pay, or to cause the applicable L/C Account Party to pay, to each L/C Issuer in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (i) the L/C Issuance Fee, such fee being payable in each case in Dollars and quarterly in arrears, commencing on the date of issuance of the Letter of Credit (for the remainder of the fiscal quarter of Interface in which such Letter of Credit is issued) and on the last calendar day of each of Interface’s fiscal quarters thereafter, until the expiration of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) all normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the L/C Issuers in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

Section 2A.06. Payments; Illegality. If by reason of (1) after the date hereof, any change in applicable law, regulation, rule, regulatory requirement, guideline, request or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any judicial or other applicable governmental or regulatory authority, or (2) compliance by any L/C Issuer or any Lender in good faith with any direction, request or mandatory guideline of any applicable governmental or monetary authority, including without limitation, Regulation D:

(a) Such L/C Issuer or such Lender shall be subject to any tax, levy, charge or withholding of any nature or to any variation thereof or to any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of its obligations under this Article IIA, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by such L/C Issuer or such Lender (except for changes in the tax on the overall net income of such L/C Issuer or such Lender or its applicable lending office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office or applicable lending office is located); or

(b) Any reserve, deposit or similar requirement is or shall be applicable, imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer or any participations purchased by such Lender in any Letter of Credit (or in respect of such Lender’s commitment to purchase such a participation); or

(c) There shall be imposed on such L/C Issuer or such Lender any other condition regarding this Article IIA, any Letter of Credit or any participation therein;

and the result of the foregoing is to directly or indirectly increase the cost to such L/C Issuer or such Lender of committing to issue, purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by such L/C Issuer or such Lender (subject, in the case of certain Taxes, to the applicable provisions of Section 4.07(b)), then and in any such case such L/C Issuer or such Lender may, at any time after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, promptly notify the L/C Account Parties, through Interface, and Interface shall pay, or shall cause the applicable L/C Account Parties to pay, to such L/C Issuer or such Lender, within five Business Days after a written demand therefor (which demand may be contained in such notice), such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such L/C Issuer or such Lender for such increased costs or reduction in amounts receivable hereunder (a written notice as to additional amounts owed such L/C Issuer or such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the conditions giving rise thereto and the calculation of such amounts submitted to the L/C Account Parties, through Interface, by such L/C Issuer or such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto). The failure of any L/C Issuer or any Lender to give any notice or demand as provided in this Section 2A.06 shall not release or diminish any of Interface’s and such L/C Account Party’s obligations to pay any additional costs to such L/C Issuer or such Lender pursuant to this Section 2A.06.

Section 2A.07. Obligations Absolute. The respective obligations of Interface and the L/C Account Parties and the Lenders to reimburse the L/C Issuers for drawings made under the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(b) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Interface or any L/C Account Party, or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of Interface may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including, without limitation, any underlying transaction between any L/C Account Party, Interface or any of its other Subsidiaries or Affiliates and the beneficiary for which the Letter of Credit was procured); provided that nothing in this Section 2A.07 shall affect the right of any L/C Account Party or Interface, on behalf of the L/C Account Parties, to seek relief against any beneficiary or transferee, or any persons or entities for whom such beneficiary or transferee may be acting, in an action or proceeding or to bring a counterclaim in any suit involving such Persons;

(c) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(d) payment by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(e) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, which is similar to any of the foregoing; or

(f) the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 2A.08. Indemnification; Nature of L/C Issuer’s Duties.

(a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article IIA, but without duplication thereof, each L/C Account Party agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the L/C Issuers harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and reasonable expenses (including actual and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and, after a Default or an Event of Default, allocated costs of internal counsel) which the L/C Issuers may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuers (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) the failure of the L/C Issuers to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit due to any action (whether or not proper) of any present or future government or governmental authority.

(b) As between each L/C Account Party and the L/C Issuers, the L/C Account Parties assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit, other than losses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the L/C Issuers (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, no L/C Issuer shall be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged or otherwise invalid; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, facsimile, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for good faith errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof, and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such L/C Issuer, including, without limitation, any act or omission, whether or not proper, of any present or future government or governmental authority. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of the L/C Issuers’ rights and powers hereunder.

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any L/C Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (any such gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), shall not cause such L/C Issuer to incur any resulting liability to any L/C Account Party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2A.07 or this Section 2A.08, no L/C Issuer shall be released from any obligation to any L/C Account Party resulting from (i) such L/C Issuer’s improper payment under a Letter of Credit pursuant to a draft, demand, certificate or other document(s) required to be presented as a condition precedent to payment where such document(s) on their face differ materially from the form(s) and requirements specified for such document(s) in the Letter of Credit, and such L/C Issuer has received no contrary direction from Interface or the L/C Account Party, or (ii) such L/C Issuer’s refusal to make proper payment under a Letter of Credit pursuant to a draft, demand, certificate or other document(s) required to be presented as a condition precedent to payment where such document(s) on their face comply in all respects with the form(s) and requirements specified for such document(s) in the Letter of Credit and such L/C Issuer has received no contrary direction from Interface or the L/C Account Party.

Section 2A.09. Use of Letters of Credit.

(a) The Domestic Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower shall be issued only for working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (to the extent not otherwise prohibited herein), including, without limitation the financing of ongoing capital expenditures; provided that the proceeds of the Domestic Letters of Credit shall not be used for the repayment or prepayment of any amounts under the Senior Notes or the Senior Subordinated Notes.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2A.10. Voluntary Reduction of L/C Subcommitments.

(a) Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Domestic Agent and the Domestic L/C Issuer (which notice the Domestic Agent shall promptly and to the extent practicable, on the same day, transmit to each of the Domestic Syndicated Lenders), Interface shall have the right to terminate in whole or reduce in part the unutilized portion of the Domestic L/C Subcommitments available hereunder; provided that any partial reduction of the Domestic L/C Subcommitments pursuant to this Section 2A.10 shall be in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $500,000. The Domestic L/C Subcommitments, once reduced or terminated, may not be reinstated.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

ARTICLE IV

GENERAL LOAN TERMS

Section 4.01. Funding Notices. Without in any way limiting Borrower’s obliga-tion to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, the Domestic Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice be-lieved by the Domestic Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute Domestic Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice.

Section 4.02. Disbursement of Funds.

(a) Unless the Domestic Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of a Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Domestic Agent such Lender’s portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date, the Domestic Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the such Domestic Agent on such date and such Domestic Agent may make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Domestic Agent by such Lender on the date of Borrowing, the Domestic Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate during such period as determined by the Domestic Agent (plus the cost of maintaining any required reserves or deposit insurance and of any fees, penalties, overdraft charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the Domestic Agent as a result of the failure to deliver funds hereunder) of carrying such amount. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Domestic Agent’s demand therefor, the Domestic Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Domestic Agent, together with interest at the rate specified for the Borrowing which includes such amount paid.

Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, any Lender that fails to make available such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing shall not (a) have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Credit Document or (b) constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of Required Lenders hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Credit Document (provided that in no event shall any amendments, changes or other modifications specifically enumerated in Sections 11.02(a)(ii), 11.02(a)(iii) or 11.02(a)(iv) be effective with respect to any Lender which has not consented to such amendment, change or modification).

(b) All Borrowings under the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments shall be loaned by those Lenders participating in such Facility on the basis of their Pro Rata Share. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fund its Commitments hereunder.

Section 4.03. Interest.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of all unpaid principal amounts of the Domestic Revolving Loans made to Borrower from the respective dates such principal amounts were advanced to maturity (whether by acceleration, notice of prepayment or otherwise) at rates per annum equal to the rates indicated below as applicable to outstanding Advances in accordance with the terms hereof:

(i) for a Base Rate Advance, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) for a Eurodollar Advance, the Adjusted LIBO Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) At all times during the continuation of an Event of Default and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, and after notice of such Event of Default is given to Interface (other than with respect to any Event of Default described in Section 9.07), all Obligations (including, without limitation and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all accrued and unpaid interest) shall bear interest, at the election of the Required Lenders or automatically on the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 9.07, from the date such Event of Default occurred until cured or waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, as applicable, as follows:

(i) [Intentionally Omitted];

(ii) in the case of Domestic Syndicated Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Advances, at the rate otherwise applicable for the then-current Interest Pe-riod plus the highest Applicable Margin applicable to such Loans plus two percent (2%) per annum; and

(iii) with respect to all Loans outstanding as Base Rate Advances, and all other Obligations hereunder (other than Hedging Obligations), at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus the highest Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances plus two percent (2%) per annum;

provided that all Loans which are not paid when due (whether by acceleration, notice of prepayment or otherwise) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) per annum, plus the rate of interest applicable thereto and all interest which is not paid when due shall bear interest from its due date until paid at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Base Rate, plus the highest Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, plus two percent (2%).

(d) Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof; provided that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one day’s interest shall be paid on such Loan. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Advances shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last calendar day of each fiscal quarter of Interface in each year. Interest on all outstanding LIBOR Advances shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and, in the case of LIBOR Advances having an Interest Period in excess of three months (in the case of LIBOR Advances if quoted on the basis of six months), on each day which occurs every three months after the initial date of such Interest Period. Interest on all Loans shall be payable on any conversion of any Advance comprising such Loans into an Advance of another Type, prepayment (on the amount prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration, notice of prepayment or otherwise) and, after maturity, on demand.

(e) The Domestic Agent, upon determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Interest Period, shall promptly notify by telephone (confirmed in writing) or in writing the Borrower and the other Lenders. Any such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(f) At the discretion of the Domestic Agent or as directed by the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall not have the option to request LIBOR Advances. Furthermore, interest shall continue to accrue on the Notes after the filing by or against Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

Section 4.04. Interest Periods. In connection with the making or continuation of, or conversion into, each Borrowing of LIBOR Advances, the Borrower shall select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Advances, which Interest Period shall in the case of LIBOR Advances be either a one, two, three or six month period; provided that:

(a) The initial Interest Period for any Borrowing consisting of any such Advance shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing consisting of an Advance of another Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(b) If any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Pe-riod shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Advance would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(c) Any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Advance which begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period shall, subject to part (iv) below, expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

(d) No Interest Period shall extend beyond any date upon which any prepayment is required to be made in the Domestic Revolving Loans, unless the aggregate principal amount of Domestic Revolving Loans, as the case may be, that are not LIBOR Advances, or that have Interest Periods which will expire on or before the date of the respective payment or prepayment, is equal to or in ex-cess of the amount of any such principal payments or prepay-ments to be made;

(e) The Interest Period for a LIBOR Advance which is converted pursuant to Section 4.09(b) shall commence on the date of such conversion and shall expire on the date on which the Interest Periods for the LIBOR Advances of the other Lenders which were not con-verted expires;

(f) No Interest Period with respect to the Loans shall extend beyond the Maturity Date; and

(g) No more than eight LIBOR Advances with different Interest Periods may exist at any one time.

Section 4.05. Fees.

(a) On the Closing Date, Interface shall pay to the Domestic Agent, (i) for the benefit of each Lender, an upfront fee as agreed to in writing by In-terface with respect to each Lender and (ii) for the account of the Arranger, an arrangement fee as agreed to in writing by Interface with respect to the Arranger.

(b) Interface shall pay to the Domestic Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an unused line fee in respect of the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments computed at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Unused Line Fee Rate, for each fiscal quarter, calculated on the average daily unused portion of the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments of such Lenders, such fee being payable quarterly in arrears on the last calendar day of each fiscal quarter of Interface, and on the Maturity Date. For purposes of calculating the fees due under this Section 4.05(b), the aggregate principal amount of the Domestic Syndicated Loans and the Aggregate Domestic L/C Outstandings shall constitute usage of the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments; provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Domestic Settlement Loans from time to time outstanding shall not constitute a usage of the Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitments. Such unused line fee shall be distributed by the Domestic Agent to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares.

(c) On the Closing Date and on an annual basis thereafter, Interface shall pay to the Domestic Agent the annual fee which Interface agreed to in writing;

(d) On the Closing Date and on an annual basis thereafter, Interface shall pay to the Collateral Agent the annual fee which Interface agreed to in writing.

Section 4.06. Voluntary Prepayments of Borrowings.

(a) The Borrower may, at its option, prepay Borrowings consisting of Base Rate Advances at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, in amounts aggregating $1,000,000 or any greater integral multiple of $250,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of prepayment. Those Borrowings consisting of LIBOR Advances may be prepaid, at the Borrower’s option, in whole, or from time to time in part, in the respective minimum amounts and multiples set forth in Sections 2.02(b), 2.05(b), and 3.02(b), as applicable to the Type of Advance, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of prepayment, and all compensation payments pursuant to Section 4.12 if such prepayment is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.06(c) below.

(b) If Borrower desires to make a prepayment pursuant to Section 4.06(a), it shall give written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) to the Domestic Agent of any intended prepayment (i) not less than one Business Day prior to any prepayment of Base Rate Advances and (ii) not less than four Business Days prior to any prepayment of LIBOR Advances. Such notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. Upon receipt of such notice of prepayment, the Domestic Agent shall promptly notify each Lender whose Advance consti-tutes a portion of such Borrowing of the contents of such notice and of such Lender’s share of such prepayment.

(c) If Borrower provides notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 4.06(b), it may designate the Types of Advances and the specific Borrowings that are to be prepaid, provided that (i) if any prepayment of LIBOR Advances of Borrower made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Advances made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $1,000,000, such Borrowing shall immediately be converted into Base Rate Advances; and (ii) each prepayment made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among the Loans comprising such Borrowing. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower, the Domestic Agent shall, subject to the foregoing, make such designation in their sole discretion. All voluntary prepayments shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal and shall be applied against scheduled amortization payments in the inverse order of maturity.

Section 4.07. Payments, Etc.

(a) (4) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, other than the payments specified in Section 4.07(a)(ii) below, shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim to the Domestic Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at its Payment Office.

(ii) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) (i) Any and all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Credit Documents 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, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes and branch profit taxes imposed on it (A) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes and branch profit taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s appropriate Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, and (B) by a jurisdiction in which any payments are to be made by Borrower hereunder, other than the United States of America, the United Kingdom, or The Netherlands or any political subdivision of any thereof, and that would not have been imposed but for the existence of a connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), except in the case of taxes described in this clause (B), to the extent such taxes are imposed as a result of a change in the law or regulations of any jurisdiction or any applicable treaty or regulations or in the official interpretation of any such law, treaty or regulations by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof after the date of this Agreement (all such excluded net income taxes, franchise taxes and branch profit taxes collectively referred to as the “Excluded Taxes”; all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being collectively referred to in this Section 4.07(b) as “Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender, (x) the sum so payable shall be increased by such amount (the “Gross-up Amount”) as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions with respect to Taxes owed by such Lender on the Gross-up Amount payable under this Section 4.07(b)(i)) such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (y) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (z) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(ii) Borrower will indemnify each Lender for the full amount of Taxes (together with any Taxes or Excluded Taxes owed by such Lender applicable to the Gross-up Amount payable by Borrower under clause (x) of Section 4.07(b)(i) or on any indemnification payments made by Borrower under this Section 4.07(b)(ii), but without duplication thereof), and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or such Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, so as to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred as a consequence of any such Taxes. Payment pursuant to such indemnification shall be made within 10 Business Days from the date such Lender makes written demand therefor.

(iii) Within 30 days after the date of Borrower’s payment of Taxes, Borrower will furnish to the relevant Lender, at its appropriate Lending Office, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(iv) Each Lender that is a foreign Person (i.e., a Person other than a United States Person as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) hereby agrees that:

(A) it shall, prior to the time it becomes a Lender hereunder, deliver to Interface:

(1) for each Lending Office located in the United States of America, three (3) accurate and complete signed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (“Form W-8ECI”), and/or

(2) for each Lending Office located outside the United States of America, three (3) accurate and complete signed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (“Form W-8BEN”);

in each case indicating that such Lender, on the date of delivery thereof, is entitled to receive payments of principal, interest and fees for the account of such Lending Office under this Agreement and the Notes free from withholding of United States Federal income tax; provided that if the Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as the case may be, supplied by a Lender fails to establish a complete exemption from United States withholding tax as of the date such Lender becomes a Lender, such Lender shall, within 15 days after a written request from Interface, deliver to Interface the forms or other documents necessary to establish a complete exemption from United States withholding tax as of such date;

(B) if at any time such Lender changes its Lending Office or selects an additional Lending Office, it shall, at the same time or reasonably promptly thereafter (but only to the extent the forms previously delivered by it hereunder are no longer effective) deliver to Interface in replacement for the forms previously delivered by it hereunder:

(1) for such changed or additional Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America, three (3) accurate and complete signed originals of Form W-8ECI; or

(2) otherwise, three (3) accurate and complete signed originals of Form W-8BEN;

in each case indicating that such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to receive payments of principal, interest and fees for the account of such changed or additional Lending Office under this Agreement and the Notes free from withholding of United States Federal income tax.

(v) In addition to the documents to be furnished pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(iv), each Lender shall, promptly upon the reasonable written request of Interface to that effect, deliver to Interface such other accurate and complete forms or similar documentation as such Lender is legally able to provide and as may be required from time to time by any applicable law, treaty, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction in order to establish such Lender's tax status for withholding purposes or as may otherwise be appropriate to eliminate or minimize any Taxes on payments under this Agreement or the Notes. Each Lender furnishing forms to Interface pursuant to the requirements of Section 4.07(b)(iv), and this clause (v), shall furnish copies of such forms to the Domestic Agent at the same time delivery of such forms is made to Interface.

(vi) Borrower shall not be required to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 4.07(b)(i) or (ii) to any Lender for the account of any Lending Office of such Lender in respect of any United States withholding taxes payable hereunder (and Borrower, if required by law to do so, shall be entitled to withhold such amounts and pay such amounts to the United States Government) if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with its obligations under Section 4.07(b)(iv), and such Lender shall not be entitled to exemption from deduction or withholding of United States Federal income tax in respect of the payment of such sum by Borrower hereunder for the account of such Lending Office for, in each case, any reason other than a change in United States law or regulations or any applicable tax treaty or regulations or in the official interpretation of any such law, treaty or regulations by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) after the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder.

(vii) Within sixty (60) days of the written request of Interface, each Lender shall execute and deliver such certificates, forms or other documents, which can be reasonably furnished consistent with the facts and which are reasonably necessary to assist in applying for refunds of Taxes remitted hereunder.

(viii) Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.07(b), except to the extent that a Lender determines that such efforts would be disadvantageous to such Lender, as determined by such Lender and which determination, if made in good faith, shall be binding and conclusive on all parties hereto.

(ix) To the extent that the payment of any Lender's Taxes by Borrower gives rise from time to time to a Tax Benefit (as hereinafter defined) to such Lender in any jurisdiction other than the jurisdiction which imposed such Taxes, such Lender shall pay to Borrower the amount of each such Tax Benefit so recognized or received. The amount of each Tax Benefit and, therefore, payment to Borrower will be determined from time to time by the relevant Lender in its sole discretion, which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties hereto. Each such payment will be due and payable by such Lender to Borrower within a reasonable time after the filing of the income tax return in which such Tax Benefit is recognized or, in the case of any tax refund, after the refund is received; provided, however, if at any time thereafter such Lender is required to rescind such Tax Benefit or such Tax Benefit is otherwise disallowed or nullified, Borrower shall promptly, after notice thereof from such Lender, repay to Lender the amount of such Tax Benefit previously paid to Borrower and rescinded, disallowed or nullified. For purposes of this section, "Tax Benefit" shall mean the amount by which any Lender's income tax liability for the taxable period in question is reduced below what would have been payable had Borrower not been required to pay the Lender's Taxes. In case of any dispute with respect to the amount of any payment Borrower shall have no right to any offset or withholding of payments with respect to future payments due to any Lender under this Agreement or the Notes.

(x) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders contained in this Section 4.07(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, interest, and fees hereunder and under the Notes.

(c) Subject to Section 4.04(ii), whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

(d) All computations of interest and fees hereunder and under the Notes shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable (to the extent computed on the basis of days elapsed). Interest on Base Rate Advances shall be calculated based on the Base Rate from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date of the repayment or conversion thereof. Interest on LIBOR Advances shall be calculated as to each Interest Period from and including the first day thereof to but excluding the last day thereof. Each determination by the Domestic Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(e) Payment by Borrower to the Domestic Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall constitute payment to the applicable Lenders under this Agreement.

Section 4.08. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable, Etc. In the event that the Domestic Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be made in good faith and, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) that on any date for determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Interest Period, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market or the Domestic Agent’s position in such markets, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted LIBO Rate, then, and in any such event, the Domestic Agent shall forthwith give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Interface and to the Lenders of such determination and a summary of the basis for such determination. Until the Domestic Agent notifies Interface that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make or permit portions of the Domestic Syndicated Loans to remain outstanding as LIBOR Advances, as the case may be, shall be suspended, (ii) [intentionally omitted], and (iii) all such affected Advances shall bear the same interest as Base Rate Advances; provided that Interface shall pay to the Domestic Agent and the Lenders any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Domestic Agent and the Lenders in effecting such conversion.

Section 4.09. Illegality.

(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be made in good faith and, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) at any time that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Advance has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), then, in any such event, the Lender shall give prompt notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Interface and to the Domestic Agent of such determination and a summary of the basis for such determination (which notice the Domestic Agent shall promptly transmit to the other Lenders).

(b) Upon the giving of the notice to Interface referred to in subsection (a) above,

(i) Borrower’s right to request, convert or continue, and the Lenders’ obligation to fund, convert or continue, LIBOR Advances shall be immediately suspended and (B) Interface may only request, and the Lenders shall only be obligated to fund, Base Rate Advances hereunder, and

(ii) if the affected LIBOR Advance is then outstanding, then Interface (on behalf of the Borrower) shall immediately convert such LIBOR Advance to a Domestic Syndicated Loan in Dollars bearing interest based upon the Base Rate; provided that Interface shall pay to the Domestic Agent and the Lenders any and all costs, fees and other expenses incurred by the Domestic Agent and the Lenders in effecting such conversion.

Section 4.10. Increased Costs. If, by reason of (a) after the date hereof, the introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation, or (b) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority or quasi-governmental authority exercising control over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law):

(a) any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) shall be subject to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its portion of a LIBOR Advance or its obligation to fund a portion of a LIBOR Advance, or the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal of or interest on its portion of a LIBOR Advance, or its obligation to fund a portion of a LIBOR Advance shall have changed (except for changes in the tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its applicable Lending Office imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Lender’s principal executive office or applicable Lending Office is located); or

(b) any reserve (including, without limitation, any imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender’s applicable Lending Office shall be imposed or deemed applicable or any other condition affecting its portion of a LIBOR Advance or its obligation to fund a portion of a LIBOR Advance shall be imposed on any Lender or its applicable Lending Office or the London interbank market;

and as a result thereof there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining a portion of a LIBOR Advance (except to the extent already included in the determination of the applicable interest rate in effect for such portion of the LIBOR Advance, or there shall be a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender or its applicable Lending Office, then the Borrower shall from time to time (subject, in the case of certain Taxes, to the applicable provisions of Section 4.07(b)), upon written notice from and demand by such Lender on Interface (with a copy of such notice and demand to the Domestic Agent), pay to the Domestic Agent for the account of such Lender, within five Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amounts sufficient to indemnify such Lender against such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to Interface and the Domestic Agent by such Lender in good faith and accompanied by a state-ment prepared by such Lender describing in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of such increased cost, shall, except for manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

Section 4.11. Lending Offices.

(a) Each Lender agrees that, if requested by the Borrower, it will use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its portions of LIBOR Advances affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 4.07(b), 4.08, 4.09 or 4.10 to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender, which determination if made in good faith, shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. Nothing in this Section 4.11 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of Borrower or any right of any Lender provided hereunder.

(b) If any Lender that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof (including the District of Columbia) issues a public announcement with respect to the closing of its lending offices in the United States such that any withholdings or deductions and additional payments with respect to Taxes may be required to be made by Borrower thereafter pursuant to Section 4.07(b), such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to furnish Interface notice thereof as soon as practicable thereafter; provided, however, that no delay or failure to furnish such notice shall in any event release or discharge the Borrower from their obligations to such Lender pursuant to Section 4.07(b) or otherwise result in any liability of such Lender.

Section 4.12. Funding Losses. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts in reasonable detail and which request shall be made in good faith and, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all of the parties hereto), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its portions of LIBOR Advances to the extent not recovered by such Lender in connection with the re-employment of such funds and including loss of anticipated profits), which the Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, LIBOR Advances to Borrower does not occur on the date specified therefor in a notice given by Borrower to Domestic Agent as provided herein (whether or not withdrawn), (ii) if any repayment (including mandatory prepayments and any conversions pursuant to Section 4.09(b)) of any LIBOR Advances to Borrower occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iii), if, for any reason, Borrower defaults in its obligation to repay its LIBOR Advances when required by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 4.13. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 4.14. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Advances. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article IV shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded its portions of relevant LIBOR Advances through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market, bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR

Advances in an amount equal to the amount of its portions of the LIBOR Advances and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and, in the case of LIBOR Advances, through the transfer of such LIBOR Advances from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided however, that each Lender may fund its portions of each of the LIBOR Advances in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article IV.

Section 4.15. Apportionment of Payments. Aggregate principal and interest payments in respect of Loans and payments in respect of Letters of Credit, facility fees, unused line fees, and Letter of Credit fees shall be apportioned among all outstanding Commitments, Loans and Letters of Credit to which such payments relate, proportionately to the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares of such Commitments and outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit. The Domestic Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth on Schedule 1.1(a) hereto or such other address as any Lender may request its share of all such payments received by the Domestic Agent.

Section 4.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction (including, without limitation, any amounts received as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code) of any obligation of Borrower hereunder (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments or reductions on account of such obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith (i) notify each of the other Lenders and the Domestic Agent of such receipt, and (ii) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the affected obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in connection therewith, ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or additional costs are incurred, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery or such additional costs, but without interest unless the Lender obligated to return such funds is required to pay interest on such funds. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.16 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 Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 4.17. Capital Adequacy. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any Lender shall have determined that any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy not currently in effect or fully applicable as of the Closing Date, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy not currently in effect or fully applicable as of the Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) from a central bank or governmental authority or body having jurisdiction, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or order, or such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital

adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then within ten Business Days after written notice and demand by such Lender (with copies thereof to the Domestic Agent), Interface shall from time to time pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction (but, in the case of outstanding Base Rate Advances, without duplication of any amounts already recovered by such Lender by reason of an adjustment in the applicable Base Rate). Each certificate as to the amount payable under this Section 4.17 (which certificate shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts in reasonable detail), submitted to Interface by any Lender in good faith, shall, absent manifest error, be final, con-clusive and binding for all purposes.

Section 4.18. Benefits to Guarantors. In consideration for the execution and delivery by the Domestic Guarantors (other than Interface) of their Domestic Guaranty Agreement, Interface agrees to make the benefit of extensions of credit made to it hereunder available to the Domestic Guarantors.

Section 4.19. Limitation on Certain Payment Obligations.

(a) Each Lender or Agent shall make written demand on Interface for indemnification or compensation pursuant to Section 4.07 no later than 90 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Lender or Agent makes payment of such Taxes, and (ii) the date on which the relevant taxing authority or other governmental authority makes written demand upon such Lender or Agent for payment of such Taxes.

(b) Each Lender or Agent shall make written demand on Interface for indemnification or compensation pursuant to Sections 4.12 and 4.13 no later than 90 days after the event giving rise to the claim for indemnification or compensation occurs.

(c) Each Lender or Agent shall make written demand on Interface for indemnification or compensation pursuant to Sections 4.09 and 4.17 no later than 90 days after such Lender or Agent receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the promulgation of a law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim pursuant to such sections.

(d) In the event that the Lenders or Agents fail to give Interface notice within the time limitations prescribed in (a) or (b) above, Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim for compensation or indemnification. In the event that the Lender or Agents fail to give Interface notice within the time limitation prescribed in (c) above, Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the ninetieth day preceding such written demand.

Section 4.20. Application of Loan Proceeds to Maturing Loans. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.02(d), 2.05(c), and 3.02(d) requiring the Lenders to make available proceeds of their respective Loans to the Domestic Agent, in connection with the Borrowing of Domestic Revolving Loans, each Lender shall apply that portion of the proceeds of the Loan it is then making sufficient to effect the repayment of principal of the maturing Loan owing to it, with any excess proceeds to be made available to the Borrower as contemplated herein.

Section 6.09. Insurance. The Domestic Consolidated Companies currently maintain insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses (and with respect to any properties and businesses included in any IRB Collateral), with financially sound and reputable insurers, having coverages against losses or damages of the kinds customarily insured against by reputable companies in the same or similar businesses, such insurance being in amounts no less than those amounts which are customary for such companies under similar circumstances and, with respect to any IRB Collateral and the Real Properties, any more rigorous or extensive insurance requirements which may be required by the terms of the IRB Collateral Documents or Section 7(b) of the Mortgages. The Domestic Consolidated Companies have paid all material amounts of insurance premiums now due and owing with respect to such insurance policies and coverages, and such policies and coverages are in full force and effect. The Credit Parties shall deliver the originals or copies (which copies shall be certified if requested by the Collateral Agent) of such policies to the Collateral Agent with satisfactory lender’s loss payable endorsements naming the Collateral Agent, as agent for

the Lenders, as sole loss payee, assignee and additional insured, as its interests may appear.

Each other policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause (i) not permitting cancellation by a Credit Party without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, (ii) requiring the insurer to give not less than 30 days prior written notice to the Collateral Agent in the event of cancellation or non-renewal by the insurance company of the policy for any reason whatsoever, and (iii) specifying that the interest of the Collateral Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of the Credit Parties or the owner of the property or by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by said policy. Upon the date of this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter upon the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, the Credit Parties shall provide the Collateral Agent with a statement from each insurance company or agent thereof providing the foregoing coverage, acknowledging in favor of the Collateral Agent the continued effectiveness of the foregoing insurance clauses.

Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.01, on the date of this Agreement, Interface has no Subsidiaries and neither Interface nor any Subsidiary is a joint venture partner or general partner in any partnership.

Comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply with all Requirements of Law (including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws) and Contractual Obligations applicable to or binding on any of them (or on any IRB Collateral owned or leased by it) where the failure to comply with such Requirements of Law and Contractual Obligations would reasonably be expected to have a Materially Adverse Effect or, with respect to IRB Collateral, would reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the value of such IRB Collateral or its usefulness in the ordinary operations of the L/C Account Party which owns or leases such IRB Collateral.

Section 7.03. Payment of Taxes and Claims, Etc. Pay, and cause each of its Domestic Subsidiaries to pay, (i) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon it or upon its property and any IRB Collateral owned or leased by it, and (ii) all claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials, supplies or services) which might, if unpaid, become a Lien upon its property or any IRB Collateral owned or leased by it, unless, in each case, the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto.

Section 7.04. Keeping of Books. Keep, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to keep, proper books of record and account, containing complete and accurate entries of all their respective financial and business transactions which are required to be maintained in order to prepare the consolidated financial statements of Interface in conformity with GAAP.

of a Default or an Event of Default, no prior notice to Interface shall be required. To the extent that the Domestic Agent or Lender thereby obtains possession of non-public information constituting trade secrets, technology or other similar proprietary information identified to the Domestic Agent or Lender in writing by Interface as being subject to confidential treatment under this Agreement, such party shall treat such information as confidential. In any event, the Domestic Agent or Lender may, subject to Section 11.06(e), make disclosure to any assignee or participant, or to any prospective assignee or participant, in connection with an assignment or participation permitted thereby, or as required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof, or as required to defend any legal action or to exercise any rights, remedies or powers available to the Agents or Lender under the Credit Documents or as otherwise required by law or pursuant to legal process; provided, that unless prohibited by applicable law or court order, the Domestic Agent or Lender shall notify Interface as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof of any governmental request, subpoena or court order (other than any such request, subpoena or court order in connection with an examination of the financial condition of the Domestic Agent or Lender by any governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information; provided, however, that no delay or failure to provide such notice shall give rise to any claim, defense or right of offset against such Lender the Domestic Agent hereunder. The foregoing shall not prohibit disclosure of such information to the extent it has become public information other than through a disclosure by the Domestic Agent or Lender not otherwise permitted herein.

(b) In addition to the rights granted to the Domestic Agent and the Lenders in subsection (a), the Borrower hereby agrees that the Domestic Agent may from time to time, as the Domestic Agent deems necessary or desirable in its reasonable credit judgment, order appraisals of all or part of the Credit Parties’ equipment, inventory, and Real Property (but only such Real Property which is, pursuant to this Agreement, required to be mortgaged to the Collateral Agent), as applicable, with each such appraisal being conducted by a professional appraiser reasonably selected by the Domestic Agent. Interface shall be required to pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent for only those appraisals of such Real Property ordered pursuant to this Section 7.05 (i) during the existence of an Event of Default or (ii) in response to any event or circumstance which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Fair Market Value of such Real Property. Interface acknowledges and agrees that any appraisal of such Real Property ordered pursuant to this Section 7.05 is for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and the results thereof shall not cause the then-existing Real Property Amount to increase or be the basis for any such increase (unless the Domestic Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, otherwise agrees with the Borrower). Interface shall be required to pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent for only one appraisal of the Credit Parties’ inventory and one appraisal of the Credit Parties’ equipment ordered, in each case, pursuant to this Section 7.05 per consecutive twelve-month period, provided, however, that Interface shall pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent for any appraisal of the Credit Parties’ inventory or equipment ordered pursuant to this Section 7.05 during the existence of an Event of Default. Any appraisal on which the Fair Market Value of any Real Property or the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of any equipment is established for purposes of including such Fair Market Value in the Real Property Amount or such Net Orderly Liquidation Value in the Domestic Equipment Amount, shall be borne by Interface, unless, at such time, an appraisal constituting a Qualified Appraisal shall have been done recently enough to satisfy the requirements relating thereto in the definitions of “Eligible Domestic Equipment” and “Eligible Real Property,” as applicable. For purposes of clarification, Interface shall be required to pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent for any appraisals ordered for purposes of including any equipment or parcels of Real Property in an Equipment Group or Real Property Group, as applicable.

(c) In addition to all other rights granted to the Agents in this Section 7.05, the Borrower agrees that it shall pay for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in conducting, or having conducted by certified public accountants of the Collateral Agent’s choosing, field audits of the Credit Parties’ inventory, accounts, and equipment and all books, records, journals, orders, receipts, correspondence, and other data related thereto. In addition, the Borrower agrees that it will pay to the Agents an amount equal to $850 per day for each field auditor. Such field audits shall be conducted with such frequency as the Collateral Agent determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, provided that all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent on account of only one such field audit (or, if at any time in the preceding consecutive twelve months, Excess Availability shall have been less than $30,000,000, two such field audits) per operating division per consecutive twelve-month period (which need not be conducted contemporaneously) shall be paid by Interface unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case, Interface shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of all field audits conducted in accordance with this Section 7.05.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

Section 7.06. Insurance; Maintenance of Properties.

(a) Maintain or cause to be maintained with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to its properties and business, and the properties and business of its Domestic Subsidiaries, against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by reputable companies in the same or similar businesses, such insurance to be of such types and in such amounts as is customary for such companies under similar circumstances (and, with respect to any IRB Collateral, any more rigorous or extensive insurance as may be required by the IRB Collateral Documents).

(b) Cause, and cause each of the Domestic Consolidated Companies to cause, all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business (and all IRB Collateral owned or leased by any Credit Party) to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, settlements and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of Interface may be necessary so that the business carried on in con-nection therewith

may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times and so that the value thereof will not be impaired in any material respect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent Interface from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of Interface, desirable in the conduct of its business or the business of any Domestic Consolidated Company.

(b) Financial Covenant Effective Period. The parties hereto agree that, even though Interface must report the calculation of the financial covenant included in Section 7.09(a) with each of the certificates it must deliver pursuant to Section 7.07(c), none of Interface or any L/C Account Party must comply with the financial covenant in Sections 7.09(a), and such financial covenant shall not be effective, except during a Financial Covenant Effective Period (including, without limitation, any days of such period which may have occurred before any given Financial Covenant Effective Date). (For purposes of clarification by way of example, if a Financial Covenant Effective Date occurs during the third fiscal quarter of a fiscal year, the Financial Covenant Effective Period initiated thereby will commence as of the last day of the second fiscal quarter of such fiscal year (and the financial covenant in Section 7.09(a) will be deemed effective as of the last day of such second fiscal quarter). If Interface and the L/C Account Parties are not in compliance as of the last day of such second fiscal quarter (as determined by the compliance certificate delivered for such second fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 7.07(c)), then an Event of Default shall occur on the Financial Covenant Effective Date.)

Section 7.10. Notices Under Certain Other Indebtedness. Immediately upon its receipt thereof, Interface shall furnish the Domestic Agent a copy of any notice received by it or any other Domestic Consolidated Company from the holder(s) of Indebtedness referred to in Section 8.01(b), (c), (e), (g), (i), or (l) (or from any trustee, agent, attorney, or other party acting on behalf of such holder(s)) in an amount which, in the aggregate, exceeds $1,000,000, where such notice states or claims (i) the existence or occurrence of any default or event of

default with respect to such Indebtedness under the terms of any indenture, loan or credit agreement, debenture, note, or other document evidencing or governing such Indebtedness, or (ii) with respect to any Interface Control Debt, the existence or occurrence of any event or condition which requires or permits such holder(s) to exercise rights under any Change in Control Provision. Interface agrees to take such actions as may be necessary to require the holder(s) of Interface Control Debt (or any trustee or agent acting on their behalf) to furnish copies of all such notices directly to the Domestic Agent simultaneously with the furnishing thereof to Interface, and that such requirement may not be altered or rescinded without the prior written consent of the Domestic Agent.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing subsection (a), Interface shall cause each Material Subsidiary which is required to deliver a Domestic Guaranty Agreement pursuant to Section 7.11 to become a party to the Subsidiary Pledge and Security Agreement and, if applicable, a Mortgage (but only with respect to any parcel or group of related parcels of real property owned by such Subsidiary having a fair market value as determined by the Domestic Agent in its reasonable credit judgment of $1,500,000 or more) and other applicable Security Documents, together with such lien searches, title reports, title insurance, surveys, phase I environmental reports and opinions with respect thereto which the Domestic Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

(c) Interface shall, and shall cause the other Credit Parties to, promptly secure the Secured Obligations by pledging or creating perfected security interests with respect to assets acquired by any Credit Parties subsequent to the date of the respective Security Documents as required by the terms thereof.

(d) Interface shall, and shall cause any Credit Parties for whose account an IRB Letter of Credit has been issued, to deliver to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Domestic Agent all instruments, agreements, mortgages, and other documents required to be delivered under Article IIA. In connection therewith, Interface shall, and shall cause other applicable Credit Parties to, deliver to the Domestic Agent all such instruments and documents (including legal opinions and lien searches) as the Domestic Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with this Section. Interface agrees to provide such evidence as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request as to the perfection and priority status of each such security interest and Lien.

Section 7.14. Margin Stock. Give prior written notice to the Domestic Agent of its intent to purchase or carry any “margin stock” (as defined in the Margin Regulations) with any extension of credit (to the extent permitted by Section 8.04) and deliver to the Domestic Agent such documents (including, without limitation, any necessary Federal Reserve Form U-1 or other similar form required by the Margin Regulations) or legal opinions as the Domestic Agent or any Lender may reasonably request in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Domestic Agent; provided, however, that any term or provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower and each of the L/C Account Parties agrees that no part of the proceeds of any Loans or any Letter of Credit will be used to purchase or carry and “margin stock” (as defined in the Margin Regulations).

Section 7.15. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 7.16. US Cash Management.

(a) Simultaneously herewith, Interface shall establish and continually maintain, and shall cause each of the other Credit Parties which (i) in the ordinary course of its business, collects items or payments of the type described in this Section 7.16(a), (ii) after the Closing Date, commences collecting such items or payments in the ordinary course of its business, or (iii) is identified by the Collateral Agent from time to time in the exercise of its reasonable discretion to establish and continually maintain, with the Collateral Agent one or more lockboxes and Domestic Collateral Reserve Accounts into which such Credit Parties shall cause each of its Account Debtors to remit all cash, checks, drafts, items and other instruments for the payment of money which it now has or may at any time hereafter receive in full or partial payment for Domestic Inventory or Domestic Accounts and such Credit Parties’ chattel paper or general intangibles, or as proceeds of Domestic Inventory or Domestic Accounts and of such Credit Parties’ chattel paper or general intangibles. Additionally, simultaneously herewith, Interface shall establish and continually maintain the Domestic Concentration Account. In the event any items or payment described in this Section 7.16 are inadvertently received by any of the Credit Parties or any other Person, whether or not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Credit Party or such Person shall be deemed to hold the same in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and promptly forward them to the Collateral Agent for deposit in a Domestic Collateral Reserve Account or the Domestic Concentration Account.

(b) The Collateral Agent will remove from the lockboxes and deposit all such items of payment received from the Credit Parties’ Account Debtors into a Domestic Collateral Reserve Account related to such lockbox promptly upon receipt. On each Business Day, the Collateral Agent shall cause all funds on deposit in such Domestic Collateral Reserve Accounts to be transferred to the Domestic Concentration Account. Except during (i) the existence of a Event of Default or (ii) a Domestic Cash Management Period, the Collateral Agent will transfer on each Domestic Business Day collected amounts in the Domestic Concentration Account and then to the Credit Parties’ operating accounts in accordance with the Credit Parties’ lawful instructions and Interface shall have access to the funds on deposit in the Domestic Concentration Account. Interface, for itself and on behalf of each of the Credit Parties, agrees that no Credit Party shall have any access to any funds which are on deposit in any Domestic Collateral Reserve Account, it being understood that such Domestic Collateral Reserve Accounts (regardless of whether any “Notice” has been given pursuant to the terms of any Control Agreement related thereto (as such term is defined in each such Control Agreement)) shall be used solely for the collection of the Credit Parties’ Accounts, which collections shall be swept to the Domestic Concentration Account as set forth above.

(c) Subject to the following subsection (d), during a Domestic Cash Management Period, all funds from time to time on deposit in the Domestic Collateral Reserve Accounts and the Domestic Concentration Account shall be applied each Business Day against the Obligations due and owing by the Credit Parties in accordance with Section 2.03(e); provided that, if all such Obligations of the Credit Parties have been satisfied as of such time, then any surplus in the Domestic Collateral Reserve Accounts and the Domestic Concentration Account shall be transferred to the Credit Parties’ operating accounts in accordance with the Credit Parties’ lawful instructions. Interface agrees that, during any Domestic Cash Management Period or during the existence of an Event of Default, it shall have no right to access any funds which are on deposit in the Domestic Concentration Account (regardless of whether any “Notice” has been given pursuant to the terms of any Control Agreement related thereto (as such term is defined in each such Control Agreement)).

(d) During the existence of an Event of Default and at the election of the Required Lenders, all funds on deposit in the Domestic Collateral Reserve Accounts and the Domestic Concentration Account (regardless of whether any “Notice” has been given pursuant to the terms of any Control Agreements related thereto (as such term is defined in such Control Agreements)) shall be applied to the Obligations pursuant to the terms of Article IX. During the existence of an Event of Default the Collateral Agent may at any time in its sole discretion or if requested in writing by the Required Lenders, direct the Account Debtors of each Credit Party to make payments on the Domestic Accounts or such Credit Party’s chattel paper or general intangibles, or portions thereof, directly to the Collateral Agent, and such Account Debtors are hereby authorized and directed to do so by such Credit Party upon the Collateral Agent’s direction, and the funds so received shall be also deposited in a Domestic Collateral Reserve Account or the Domestic Concentration Account, or, at the election of the Collateral Agent, upon its receipt thereof, be applied directly to repayment of the Obligations as provided in Article IX.

(e) Interface shall cause each other Credit Party determined pursuant to subsection (a), above, to comply with the terms and provisions of this Section 7.16, just as fully as if such other Credit Party were party hereto. Interface, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have consented to the terms and provisions of this Section 7.16 on behalf of each Credit Party.

(f) Interface shall cause all Net Proceeds received by any Credit Party to be deposited in a Deposit Account maintained with the Collateral Agent over which Collateral Agent has control. Until such time as the Obligations have been accelerated in accordance with Article IX, Interface may use such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with, and subject to, the terms set forth in this Agreement.

(g) Each of the Collateral Agent and Interface agrees that, (i) for the Collateral Agent to direct funds on deposit in any Domestic Collateral Reserve Account or the Domestic Concentration Account in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.16, it shall not be necessary for the Collateral Agent to give any “Notice” under any Control Agreement related to such Domestic Collateral Reserve Accounts or the Domestic Concentration Account and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not give any such “Notice” under any Control Agreement unless, at the time of giving such “Notice,” a Domestic Cash Management Period or an Event of Default shall be in existence.

(h) Interface shall not, and shall not permit any Credit Party to, open, maintain, establish, or otherwise have any Deposit Account, other than:

No notice to or demand on any Credit Party not required hereunder or any other Credit Document in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Domestic Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 11.04. Payment of Expenses, Etc. Each of Interface and each L/C Account Party shall:

(a) whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agents in the administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel as to the rights and duties of the Agents and the Lenders with respect thereto) of, and in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of, preservation of rights under, enforcement of, and, after a Default or Event of Default, refinancing, renegotiation or restructuring of, this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein, and any amendment, waiver or consent relating thereto (including, without limitation, the actual and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Agents), and in the case of enforcement of this Agreement or any Credit Document after an Event of Default, all such reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the actual and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), for any of the Lenders;

121

(b) subject, in the case of certain Taxes, to the applicable provisions of Section 4.07(b), pay and hold each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar Taxes with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit, and any other Credit Documents, any collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such Taxes;

(c) indemnify each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by any of them (whether or not any of them is designated a party thereto) (an “Indemnitee”) arising out of or by reason of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding related to any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of any of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, any Credit Party’s entering into and performing of this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit, or the other Credit Documents or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit, or the other Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including foreign counsel) incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; provided, however, that the Borrower and L/C Account Parties shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee for any of the foregoing, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, non-appealable order, that the same arises directly out of (i) such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) such Indemnitee’s material breach of an agreement with any Credit Party, or (iii) violation by such Indemnitee of any law, rule or regulation, unless such violation occurs directly or indirectly as a result of an action, inaction, representation or misrepresentation by or on behalf of any Credit Party or other Consolidated Company; and

(d) without limiting the indemnities set forth in subsection (iii) above, indemnify each Indemnitee for any and all expenses and costs (including without limitation, remedial, removal, response, abatement, cleanup, investigative, closure and monitoring costs), losses, claims (including claims for contribution or indemnity and including the cost of investigating or defending any claim and whether or not such claim is ultimately defeated, and whether such claim arose before, during or after any Credit Party’s ownership, operation, possession or control of its business, property or facilities or before, on or after the date hereof, and including also any amounts paid incidental to any compromise or settlement by the Indemnitee or Indemnitees to the holders of any such claim), lawsuits, liabilities, obligations, actions, judgments, suits, disbursements, encumbrances, liens, damages (including without limitation damages for contamination or destruction of natural resources), penalties and fines of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation in all cases the actual and reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel in connection therewith) incurred, suffered or sustained by that Indemnitee based upon, arising under or relating to Environmental Laws based on, arising out of or relating to in whole or in part, the existence or exercise of any rights or remedies by any Indemnitee under this Agreement, the Letter of Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related documents.

122

If and to the extent that the obligations of Interface and each L/C Account Party under this Section 11.04 are unenforceable for any reason, Interface and each L/C Account Party hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obli-gations which is permissible under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Credit Document to the contrary, each Credit Party’s liability under any Credit Document to reimburse any Lender or Agents attorneys fees and expenses shall not exceed the actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by such Lender or Agent, as applicable.

Section 11.05. Right of Setoff. In addition to and not in limitation of all rights of offset that any Lender or other holder of a Note may have under applicable law, each Lender, each Affiliate of each Lender and each other holder of a Note shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and whether or not such Lender or such holder has made any demand or any Credit Party’s obligations are matured, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of any Credit Party’s obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents, all deposits of such Credit Party (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) then or thereafter held by and other indebtedness or property then or thereafter owing by such Lender, such Affiliate or such other holder to such Credit Party, whether or not related to this Agreement or any transaction hereunder, and whether or not the obligations of the Credit Party under the Credit Documents are payable in the same currency as any such deposits, indebtedness or property (the amounts of which, when payable or valued in a different currency, shall be determined for purposes of this Section 11.05 by the Dollar equivalent (as determined by the Domestic Agent as the average of the Domestic Agent’s buy and sell rates for the applicable currency two Business Days before the date of any applicable determination).

Section 11.06. Benefit of Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that the Borrower and L/C Account Parties may not assign or transfer any of its interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

(c) Each Lender may assign all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it) to any Eligible Assignee; provided, however, that (i) the Domestic Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Interface must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (provided that such consents shall not be required with respect to any assignment by any Lender, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, to any Affiliate of such Lender,), (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the assigning Lender that are subject to such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Domestic Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000, (iii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Domestic Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together

123

with a Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided further that in the case of any assignment made (A) where such assigning Lender is assigning the entire amount of its Commitments hereunder, or (B) where such assigning Lender is assigning to one of its Affiliates or to a Person that is already a Lender under this Agreement prior to giving effect to such assignment, then and in any such assignment described in the preceding clauses (A) or (B), the minimum amounts specified in preceding clauses (ii) and (iii) shall not be required. From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and to the extent of the inter-est assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the notice and the Assignment and Acceptance, Interface, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Domestic Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes, a new Note or Notes to the order of such assignee in a principal amount equal to the applicable Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and new Note or Notes to the assigning Lender in the amount of its retained Commitment or Commitments. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the date of the surrendered Note or Notes which they replace, and shall otherwise be in substantially the form attached hereto.

(d) Each Lender may, without the consent of Interface, any L/C Account Party, or the Agents, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments in the Loans owing to it and the Notes held by it), provided, however, that (i) no Lender may sell a participation in its aggregate Commitments (after giving effect to any permitted assignment hereof) in an amount in excess of fifty percent (50%) of such aggregate Commitments, except that no such maximum amount shall be applicable to any such participation sold at any time there exists an Event of Default hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iv) the participating bank or other entity shall not be entitled to the benefit (except through its selling Lender) of the cost protection provisions contained in Article IV of this Agreement, and (v) Interface, the L/C Account Parties and the Agents and other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with each Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of Interface and the L/C Account Parties relating to the Loans and the Letters of Credit, and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(e) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with the assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation, pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to Interface or the other Consolidated Companies furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of Interface or any other Consolidated Company; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by Interface as confidential, the Lender proposing to make such assignment or sell such participation shall obtain from such prospective assignee or participant an agreement whereby such prospective assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information con-sistent with the provisions of Section 7.05.

124

(f) Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights in this Agreement and the Notes issued to it to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(g) If (i) any Taxes referred to in Section 4.07(b) have been levied or imposed so as to require withholdings or deductions by Borrower and payment by Borrower of additional amounts to any Lender as a result thereof, (ii) any Lender shall make demand for payment of any material additional amounts as compensation for increased costs or for its reduced rate of return pursuant to Sections 4.10, 4.17, or 2A.06(a), or (iii) any Lender shall decline to consent to a modification or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents requested by Interface, then and in such event, upon request from Interface delivered to such Lender and the Domestic Agent, such Lender shall assign, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06(c), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to another Lender or an Eligible Assignee selected by Interface, in consideration for the payment by such assignee to the Lender of the principal of, and interest on, the outstanding Loans accrued to the date of such assignment, and the assumption of such Lender’s Domestic Syndicated Loan Commitment hereunder, together with any and all other amounts owing to such Lender under any provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents accrued to the date of such assignment.

Section 11.07. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF XXXXXX COUNTY, GEORGIA, OR THE SUPERIOR COURT OF XXXX COUNTY, GEORGIA, OR IN ANY COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE NORTHERN DIS-TRICT OF GEORGIA, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER AND EACH L/C ACCOUNT PARTY HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY, AND BORROWER AND EACH L/C ACCOUNT PARTY HEREBY IR--REVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE L/C ACCOUNT PARTY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO IT AT THE ADDRESS SET OUT FOR NOTICES PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.01, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE THREE (3) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING.

125

(c) Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Agents, any Lender, any holder of a Note or any Credit Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower or L/C Account Parties in any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.08. Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights pursuant to this Agreement and its Notes, and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 11.09. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 11.10. Survival.

(a) The obligations of the Borrower and L/C Account Parties under Sections 4.07(b), 4.10, 4.12, 4.13, 4.17, 11.04 and 11.15 hereof shall survive the payment in full of the Notes after the Maturity Date. All representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and such other agreements and documents, the making of the Loans hereunder, the execution and delivery of the Notes, and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.

(b) The obligations of the Domestic Agent, the Lenders, their assignees and participants under Sections 4.07(b), 7.05 and 11.06(e) hereof shall survive the payment in full of the Notes after the Maturity Date.

Section 11.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other ju-risdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.12. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitation of, another covenant, shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

126

Section 11.13. Change in Accounting Principles, Fiscal Year or Tax Laws. If (i) any preparation of the financial statements referred to in Section 7.07 hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions by or required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) result in a material change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms found in this Agreement, (ii) there is any change in Interface’s fiscal quarter or fiscal year, or (iii) there is a material change in federal tax laws which materially affects any of the Consolidated Companies’ ability to comply with the financial covenants, standards or terms found in this Agreement, the parties agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating any of the Consolidated Companies’ financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made. Unless and until such provisions have been so amended, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 11.14. Headings Descriptive; Entire Agreement. The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the agreements and documents required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations and understandings related to such subject matters.

Section 11.15. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 11.16. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 11.17. Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. This Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement effective from and after the Closing Date. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Lenders or the Domestic Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement based on any facts or events occurring or existing prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. On the Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and supplemented by the Facilities described herein, and all loans, Letters of Credit, and other obligations of the Borrower and the L/C Account Parties outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be loans, Letters of Credit, and obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without further action by any Person.

Section 11.18. References in Credit Documents. On and after the Closing Date, each and every reference in the Credit Documents to this Agreement, and to the capitalized terms as defined in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the terms “Loans,” “Obligations,” and “Facilities”) shall be deemed to refer to and mean this Agreement as herein amended and restated, and such capitalized terms as defined and used in this Agreement as herein amended and restated. The Borrower and the L/C Account Parties further confirm and agree that all such Credit Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect on and after the Closing Date, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

127

Section 11.19. Injunctive Relief; Limitation of Liability.

(a) The Borrower and L/C Account Parties recognize that, in the event that the Borrower or the L/C Account Parties fail to perform, observe or discharge any of their respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, the Borrower and the L/C Account Parties agree that the Lenders, at the Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

(b) NO CLAIM MAY BE MADE BY BORROWER, ANY GUARANTOR, ANY L/C ACCOUNT PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON AGAINST ANY AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, COUNSEL, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS-IN-FACT OF ANY OF THEM FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY ACT, OMISSION OR EVENT OCCURRING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, AND BORROWER, EACH L/C ACCOUNT PARTY, EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES AND AGREES NOT TO XXX UPON ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER OR NOT ACCRUED AND WHETHER OR NOT KNOWN OR SUSPECTED TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR.
