10.13 Stamp or Other Taxes.

The Borrower agrees to pay any and all stamp, documentary, exercise and intangible taxes now or hereafter payable in respect of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, whether in connection with the execution and delivery thereof, the making of any Advance previously or hereafter made, any modification or renewal thereof, or otherwise, together with any interest and penalties incident thereto. The Borrower agrees to and shall indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and against all loss, cost, expense and attorneys' fees that may be incurred by the Bank in connection with any such assessment, tax, levy or other charge, or any interest or penalty resulting therefrom. The Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, at any time or from time to time, debit the deposit account of the Borrower at the Bank for the amount of any such obligations. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 10.13 shall survive the repayment of the Facility and the satisfaction by the Borrower of its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.14 Participation Rights.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way prohibit or otherwise restrict the Bank from (a) entering into agreements with other financial institutions whereby such other institutions participate in the Facility and (b) issuing participation certificates to such other institutions in connection therewith; provided, that the Facility shall be administered by the Bank and all actions permitted to be taken by "the Bank" hereunder shall be taken solely by the Bank (but this provision shall not prohibit (i) a participation agreement from requiring that the Bank first obtain the consent of a Participant with respect to one or more of such actions or (ii) a Participant from taking any action expressly permitted it under this Agreement).

10.15 Further Assurances.

The Borrower agrees that, at any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, it shall, upon request of the Bank, execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and do such further acts and things as the Bank may reasonably request in order to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement.

10.16 Execution in Counterparts.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

10.17 Confidentiality.

Except for a newspaper announcement which may be published following the closing of this transaction, the Bank and the Borrower agree that neither of them will make any public announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it first obtains the written consent of the other party with respect to the issuance, form, content and timing of such public announcement. The Bank further agrees that it will keep confidential all information concerning the Borrower, its business or financial condition, except information which is in the public domain or enters the public domain other than pursuant to a breach of this Agreement

and information which the Bank is obligated to disclose pursuant to law or legal process. The parties agree that they will keep confidential the terms of this Agreement unless required to divulge the same under applicable law or regulation or unless such information is disclosed in an action between the parties. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing shall not be deemed to prohibit the Bank from disclosing information concerning the Facility and the Borrower to potential Participants.

10.18 Waiver of Jury Trial.

The Borrower and the Guarantor, and any Person or Persons claiming under the Borrower or the Guarantor, hereby voluntarily and knowingly waive any right any of them may have to seek a jury trial in any lawsuit, proceeding, counterclaim or any other litigation procedure based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the Facility, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, any related instrument or agreement, or the dealings or the relationship between or among such Persons or any of them. Neither the Borrower nor the Guarantor nor any Person claiming under the Borrower or the Guarantor shall seek to consolidate any such action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which trial cannot or has not been waived. The Borrower and the Guarantor acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 10.18 have been fully discussed with the Borrower, the Guarantor and the Bank, that the Borrower and the Guarantor are ably represented by a licensed attorney at law in the negotiation of this Section 10.18, that they bargained at arm's length and in good faith and without duress of any kind for the terms and conditions of this Section 10.18 and that the provisions hereof shall be subject to no exceptions. No party has in any way agreed with or represented to any other party that the provisions of this Section 10.18 will not be fully enforced in all instances.

10.19 Existing Loan Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Loan Agreement in its entirety.
