Each Bank agrees to make a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to its Pro rata share of such Revolving Loan on the date of the Mandatory Request, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each Bank acknowledges and irrevocably agrees that such Bank’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan when required by this Section 2.07(b) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Possible Default or Event of Default or whether or not the agreements and conditions of Article V are then satisfied and that its payment to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Swing Line Lenders, of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not such Bank’s Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated.

(c) If, for any reason, the Agent is unable to or, in the opinion of the Agent, it is impracticable to, convert any Swing Loan to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding Section 2.07(b), then on any day that a Swing Loan is outstanding (whether before or after the maturity thereof), the Agent shall have the right to request that each Bank purchase a participation in such Swing Loan, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof (by facsimile or telephone, confirmed in writing). Upon such notice, but without further action being necessary or required, each Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Bank and each Bank hereby agrees to acquire from each Swing Line Lender, an individual participation interest in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Bank’s Pro rata share of the principal amount of such Swing Loan. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the benefit of each Swing Line Lender, such Bank’s Pro rata share of such Swing Loan.

The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Bank, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Article IV, for the Revolving Loans. In the event no Revolving Loan or only a partial Revolving Loan is deemed to be made, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge (without prior notice to the Borrower) the amount of each Draw, together with interest thereon, against any account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent.

(c) So long as letters of credit are outstanding, the amount of Revolving Loans that the Borrower is entitled to obtain under Article II shall be reduced by the LC Obligations then outstanding and, in addition to otherwise constituting part of the Revolving Loans, except as otherwise expressly stated herein, the stated amount of the letters of credit shall be treated as principal of the Revolving Loans.

(d) Whenever the Borrower desires that a letter of credit be issued, the Borrower shall give the Agent written notice (including by way of facsimile transmission) thereof prior to 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) at least five Cleveland Banking Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Agent) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Cleveland Banking Day), which written notice shall be in the form of Exhibit E hereto (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”). Each Letter of Credit Request shall include an application for such letter of credit and any other documents that the Agent customarily requires in connection therewith. The Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of each Letter of Credit Request.

(e) The delivery of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such letter of credit as requested in such Letter of Credit Request may be issued in accordance with and will not violate the requirements of this Section 3.01 and shall include a representation and warranty as to the aggregate principal amount of all then outstanding Surety Bonds. The Agent shall, on the date of each issuance of or

-19-

amendment or modification to a letter of credit by it, give each Bank and the Borrower written notice of the issuance of or amendment or modification to such letter of credit.

(f) In determining whether to pay under any letter of credit, the Agent shall not have any obligation relative to the Banks other than to determine that any documents required to be delivered under such letter of credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of the letter of credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent with respect to a letter of credit issued by it if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create any resulting liability for the Agent.

(g) Immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the outstanding letters of credit issued under the 2002 Credit Agreement and/or the 2004 Credit Agreement are as listed on Exhibit C hereto and such letters of credit shall be deemed to be, and hereby are converted into, outstanding letters of credit hereunder.

ARTICLE IV
INTEREST ON THE REVOLVING LOANS

SECTION 4.01(a). INTEREST OPTIONS. The Borrower shall pay interest on the Revolving Loans at the rates in effect from time to time pursuant to the Interest Options provided for in Sections 4.01(b) and 4.01(c) as selected by the Borrower or otherwise in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Interest on the Revolving Loans shall accrue from and including the date of borrowing thereof to but excluding the date of repayment thereof.

SECTION 4.01(b). LIBOR RATE OPTION. Interest on the principal amount of each Revolving Loan at any time subject to the interest rate option provided for pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) (the “LIBOR Rate Option”) shall be at a rate determined by adding the applicable LIBOR rate at the time in effect for each Interest Period for such Revolving Loan and the applicable Indicated Spread for the LIBOR Rate Option set forth in Section 4.01(d) below. The LIBOR Rate Option shall be in effect for all portions of the principal of the Revolving Loans for which the Borrower has selected an Interest Period in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof, unless and until any event or circumstance provided for in Sections 4.09 or 4.10 hereof shall have occurred and continue to be in effect or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 4.01(c). BASE RATE OPTION. Interest on the principal amount of all Revolving Loans at any time subject to the interest rate option provided for pursuant to this Section 4.01(c) (the “Base Rate Option”) shall be at rates determined by adding the Base Rate in effect from time to time and the applicable Indicated Spread for the Base Rate Option set forth in Section 4.01(d) below. The interest rate in effect under the Base Rate Option shall change automatically and immediately with each change in the Base Rate. The Base Rate Option shall be in effect for all portions of the principal of the Revolving Loans for which the LIBOR Rate Option is not in effect at any time.

SECTION 4.01(d). INDICATED SPREAD. The Indicated Spread is measured in basis points and from and including the Restatement Effective Date to the Termination Date, shall be 50 basis points for the Base Rate Option and 145 basis points for the LIBOR Rate Option.

-20-

SECTION 4.02. INTEREST PERIODS. The Borrower shall have the option to select and advise the Agent of the Interest Periods the Borrower has selected for Revolving Loans not less than two (2) Cleveland Banking Days prior to (a) the Restatement Effective Date, for the Revolving Loans to be made on the Restatement Effective Date, (b) each Interest Adjustment Date, (c) the date any Revolving Loans are to be made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date, and (d) any date on which the Borrower desires to have any portion of the principal of the Revolving Loans not subject to the LIBOR Rate Option become subject to the LIBOR Rate Option, provided, that Revolving Loans subject to the Base Rate Option may not be converted into Revolving Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate Option and Revolving Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate Option may not be continued as Revolving Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate Option if an Event of Default is in existence on the date of such conversion or continuation. Each Interest Period selected shall apply to not less than $500,000 in principal amount of the Revolving Loans; provided, that at no time shall there be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect including any Revolving Loans subject to the Base Rate Option. The principal amount subject to each Interest Period shall be deemed distributed Pro rata among the Banks with respect to the respective Revolving Loans to which the Interest Period applies. If the Borrower fails to timely select any Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loan to a Loan subject to the Base Rate Option, effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

SECTION 4.03. INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. (a) Interest on all Revolving Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate Option shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the first Cleveland Banking Day of each month, (ii) any prepayment or conversion (on the amount prepaid or converted), (iii) maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and/or, (iv) after such maturity, on demand.

(b) Interest on all Revolving Loans subject to the Base Rate Option shall be payable on the earliest of (i) in arrears on the first Cleveland Banking Day of each month, (ii) any prepayment or conversion (on the amount prepaid or converted), (iii) maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and/or (iv) after such maturity, on demand.

(c) Interest that shall have accrued under the 2004 Credit Agreement and remains unpaid on the Restatement Effective Date shall be paid in full on the Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 4.04. INTEREST CALCULATIONS. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall in all events continue to accrue in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement until the time payment in full is received.

SECTION 4.05. POST-DEFAULT RATE. After the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Loans and any interest on the Loans not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Loans, subject to the Base Rate Option plus two percent (2%) per annum, and all such interest shall be due on demand. No interest shall accrue on any interest that is being charged with respect to any interest not paid when due.

SECTION 4.06. RESERVES OR DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS, ETC. If at any time any law, treaty, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of

-21-

Governors of the Federal Reserve System), governmental rule, guideline, order or request (whether or not having force of law) or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve and/or special deposit requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the amount of any Loans by, any Bank, and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to such Bank of making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by such Bank with respect to such Loans, then upon demand by such Bank the Borrower shall pay to such Bank from time to time on each interest payment date with respect to such Loans, as additional consideration hereunder, additional amounts sufficient to fully compensate and indemnify such Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount, assuming (which assumption such Bank need not corroborate) such additional cost or reduced amount were allocable to such Loans. A statement as to the increased cost or reduced amount as a result of any event mentioned in this Section 4.06, setting forth the calculations therefor, shall be submitted by such Bank to the Borrower not later than one hundred fifty (150) days after the events giving rise to the same occurred and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after any such demand for compensation by any Bank, the Borrower, upon at least one (1) Cleveland Banking Day’s prior written notice to such Bank through the Agent, may prepay all Loans in full regardless of the Interest Period of any thereof. Any such prepayment shall be subject to the prepayment premium set forth in Section 5.05 hereof.

SECTION 4.07. TAX LAW, ETC. In the event that by reason of any law, regulation or requirement or in the interpretation thereof by an official authority, or the imposition of any requirement of any central bank whether or not having the force of law, any Bank shall, with respect to this Agreement or any transaction under this Agreement, be subjected to any tax, levy, impost, charge, fee, duty, deduction or withholding of any kind whatsoever (other than any tax imposed upon the total net income of such Bank) and if any such measures or any other similar measure shall result in an increase in the cost to such Bank of making or maintaining any Loan or in a reduction in the amount of principal, interest or commitment fee receivable by such Bank in respect thereof, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower stating the reasons therefor. The Borrower shall thereafter pay to such Bank upon demand from time to time on each interest payment date with respect to such Loans, as additional consideration hereunder, such additional amounts as will fully compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount. A statement as to any such increased cost or reduced amount, setting forth the calculations therefor, shall be submitted by such Bank to the Borrower not later than one hundred fifty (150) days after the events giving rise to the same occurred and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof.

If any Bank receives such additional consideration from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.07, such Bank shall use its best efforts to obtain the benefits of any refund, deduction or credit for any taxes or other amounts on account of which such additional consideration has been paid and shall reimburse the Borrower to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Bank shall receive a refund of such taxes or other amounts together with any interest thereon or an effective net reduction in taxes or other governmental charges (including any taxes imposed on or measured by the total net income of such Bank) of the United States or any state or

-22-

subdivision thereof by virtue of any such deduction or credit, after first giving effect to all other deductions and credits otherwise available to such Bank. If, at the time any audit of such Bank’s income tax return is completed, such Bank determines, based on such audit, that it was not entitled to the full amount of any refund reimbursed to the Borrower as aforesaid or that its net income taxes are not reduced by a credit or deduction for the full amount of taxes reimbursed to the Borrower as aforesaid, the Borrower, upon demand of such Bank, will promptly pay to such Bank the amount so refunded to which such Bank was not so entitled, or the amount by which the net income taxes of such Bank were not so reduced, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after any such demand for compensation by any Bank, the Borrower, upon at least one (1) Cleveland Banking Day’s prior written notice to such Bank through the Agent, may prepay all Loans in full regardless of the Interest Period of any thereof. Any such prepayment shall be subject to the prepayment premium set forth in Section 5.05 hereof.

SECTION 4.08. INDEMNITY. Without prejudice to any other provisions of this Article IV, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Bank against any reasonable loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of any Event of Default hereunder, including, but not limited to, any loss of profit, premium or penalty incurred by such Bank in respect of funds borrowed by it for the purpose of making or maintaining any Loan subject to the Libor Rate Option, as determined by such Bank in the exercise of its sole but reasonable discretion. A statement as to any such loss or expense shall be promptly submitted by such Bank to the Borrower not later than one hundred fifty (150) days after the events giving rise to the same occurred and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof.

SECTION 4.09. EURODOLLAR DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE OR INTEREST RATE UNASCERTAINABLE. In the event that the Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits of the relevant amount for the relevant Interest Period are not available to the Reference Banks in the applicable Eurodollar market or that, by reason of circumstances affecting such market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR rate applicable to such Interest Period, as the case may be, the Agent shall promptly give notice of such determination to the Borrower. In any such event, all principal of the Loans then subject to the LIBOR Rate Option shall become subject to the Base Rate Option on expiration of any Interest Periods then in effect. In the event that the circumstances causing any such unavailability of deposits or inability to determine the LIBOR rate shall change or terminate so that the LIBOR rate may again be determined, the Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower.

SECTION 4.10. CHANGES IN LAW RENDERING LIBOR LOANS UNLAWFUL. If at any time any new law, treaty, regulation, governmental rule, guideline, order or request or any change in any existing law, treaty, regulation, governmental rule, guideline, order or request or any interpretation thereof by any governmental or other regulatory authority charged with the administration thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Bank to fund any Loans which it is committed to make hereunder subject to the LIBOR Rate Option with moneys obtained in the Eurodollar market, the Commitment of such Bank to fund such Loans shall, upon the happening of such event forthwith be suspended for the duration of such illegality, and such Bank shall by written notice to the Borrower and the Agent declare that its Commitment with respect to such Loans has been so suspended and, if and when such illegality ceases to exist, such suspension

-23-

shall cease and such Bank shall similarly notify the Borrower and the Agent. If any such change shall make it unlawful for any Bank to continue in effect the funding in the applicable Eurodollar market of any Loan previously made by it hereunder subject to the LIBOR Rate Option, such Bank shall, upon the happening of such event, notify the Borrower, the Agent and the other Banks thereof in writing stating the reasons therefor, and the Borrower shall, on the earlier of (i) the last day of the then current Interest Period or (ii) if required by such law, regulation or interpretation, on such date as shall be specified in such notice, prepay all such Loans to the Banks in full. Any such prepayment or conversion may be made without payment of the prepayment premium provided for in Section 5.05 hereof, but the Borrower shall compensate such Bank(s) for any costs or expenses relating to such Loan incurred in connection with the events provided for in this Section on written request to the Borrower describing such costs or expenses.

SECTION 4.11. FUNDING. Each Bank may, but shall not be required to, make Loans hereunder with funds obtained outside the United States.

ARTICLE V
AGREEMENTS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL REVOLVING LOANS

SECTION 5.01. NOTICE OF BORROWING. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur a Revolving Loan, it shall give the Agent, prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time), at least two (2) Cleveland Banking Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Revolving Loan to be subject to the LIBOR Rate Option and at least one (1) Cleveland Banking Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Revolving Loan to be subject to the Base Rate Option. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing” a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F) shall be appropriately completed to specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Revolving Loan to be made, which shall be an amount equal to an integral multiple of $500,000, (ii) the date such Revolving Loan(s) is to be made (which shall be a Cleveland Banking Day and, in the case of a Revolving Loan based on the LIBOR Rate Option, a London Banking Day), and (iii) whether the Revolving Loan(s) shall be subject to the Base Rate Option or the Libor Rate Option and, in the latter case, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Agent shall promptly give each Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Revolving Loan, of such Bank’s Pro rata share thereof and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Agent may, prior to receipt of written confirmation, act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Fiscal Officer of the Borrower. In such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice.

(c) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur a Swing Loan, it shall give the Agent, prior to 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed date of borrowing of any Swing Loan, written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the form of a Notice of Borrowing of each such Swing Loan. The Agent shall promptly give each Swing Line Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Swing

-24-

Loan, of such Swing Line Lender’s pro rata share thereof and of other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing relating to such Swing Loan.

SECTION 5.02. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS. (a) No later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Bank will make available its Pro rata portion of each Revolving Loan requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below in this Section 5.02(a). All amounts shall be made available to the Agent in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds at its office listed on the signature pages hereto and the Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Agent’s office the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Bank prior to the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing that such Bank does not intend to make available to the Agent its portion of the Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to be made on such date, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Agent on such date of borrowing, and the Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Bank and the Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Bank. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Bank, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Article IV, for the Revolving Loans.

(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

(c) No later than 3:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing relating to a Swing Loan, each Swing Line Lender will make available its pro rata portion of each Swing Loan requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below in this Section 5.02(c). All amounts shall be made available to the Agent in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds at its office listed on the signature pages hereto and the Agent promptly will make available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Agent’s office the aggregate of the amounts so made available in the type of funds received.

-25-

SECTION 5.03. CONDITIONS TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT. The obligation of each Bank to make Loans hereunder or of the Agent to issue letters of credit hereunder, as applicable, is conditioned, in the case of each Loan and each letter of credit hereunder, upon the following:

(a) receipt by the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Letter of Credit Request, as applicable;

(b) no Event of Default or Possible Default existing then or immediately after giving effect to the Loan or letter of credit, as applicable;

(d) the representations and warranties contained in Article IX hereof being true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the date of such Loan or such letter of credit, as applicable, except to the extent that any thereof expressly relate to an earlier date.

Each request for a Loan or a letter of credit by the Borrower hereunder shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower as of the date of such borrowing as to the truth of the matters specified in subsections (b), (c) and (d) above.

SECTION 5.04. PAYMENT ON NOTES, ETC. All payments of principal, interest, and any other amounts under this Agreement shall be made to the Agent in immediately available funds and in lawful money of the United States of America for the account of the Banks, not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) on the date when due. Any such payment received by the Agent after 12:00 noon on a Cleveland Banking Day shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Cleveland Banking Day and interest shall accrue to such next Cleveland Banking Day in respect of any principal of the Loans to be paid by such payment. All payments made by the Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any other Related Writing, will be made without setoff, counterclaim or defense. The Agent shall distribute to each Bank its Pro rata share of the amount of principal, interest and other amounts received by it for the account of such Bank on the same day the Agent receives payment thereof from the Borrower in immediately available funds, unless the Agent does not receive such payment from the Borrower until after 12:00 noon, in which case the Agent shall make payment thereof to the Banks on the next Cleveland Banking Day. Each Bank shall endorse each Note held by it with appropriate notations evidencing each payment of principal made thereon or shall record such principal payment by such other method as such Bank may generally employ; provided, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from the Borrower’s obligations under each such Note. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including without limitation any payment to be made on any Note, shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Cleveland Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Cleveland Banking Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Note; provided, that if the next succeeding Cleveland Banking Day falls in the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Cleveland Banking Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly. To the extent a Bank does not receive its Pro rata share of the amount of principal, interest and other amounts made available by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of such Bank at the applicable time set forth above in this Section 5.04, such Bank shall

-26-

be entitled to recover from the Agent, interest on all such amounts in respect of each day from the date such amounts were made available to the Agent by the Borrower to the date such amounts are distributed to such Bank at a rate per annum equal to the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate.

SECTION 5.05. PREPAYMENT. (a) The Borrower shall have the right (subject to the payment of a prepayment premium as hereinafter described in this Section 5.05), at any time or from time to time, upon two (2) Cleveland Banking Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to prepay all or any part of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding as designated by the Borrower, subject to the provisions of Section 5.05(b) hereof, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment, which notice shall promptly be transmitted by the Agent to each of the Banks.

(b) The Borrower agrees that if LIBOR as determined as of 11:00 a.m. London time, two (2) London Banking Days’ prior to the date of prepayment or acceleration of any Loans (hereinafter, “Prepayment LIBOR”) shall be lower than the last LIBOR previously determined for those Loans accruing interest at LIBOR with respect to which prepayment is intended to be made or that are accelerated (hereinafter, “Last LIBOR”) prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period, then the Borrower shall, upon written notice by the Agent, promptly pay to the Agent, for the account of each of the Banks, in immediately available funds, a prepayment premium measured by a rate (the “Prepayment Premium Rate”) which shall be equal to the difference between the Last LIBOR and the Prepayment LIBOR. In determining the Prepayment LIBOR payable to each Bank, the Agent shall apply a rate for each Bank equal to LIBOR for a deposit approximately equal to each Bank’s portion of such prepayment or accelerated balance which would be applicable to an Interest Period commencing on the date of such prepayment or acceleration and having a duration as nearly equal as practicable to the remaining duration of the actual Interest Period during which such acceleration occurs or prepayment is to be made. In addition, the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to each Bank the amount claimed as additional costs or expenses (including, without limitation, cost of telex, wires, or cables) incurred by such Bank in connection with the prepayment or acceleration upon the Borrower’s receipt of a written statement from such Bank. The Prepayment Premium Rate shall be applied to all or such part of the principal amounts of the Notes as related to the Loans to be prepaid, or that are accelerated and the prepayment premium shall be computed for the period commencing with the date on which such prepayment is to be made or acceleration occurs to that date which coincides with the last day of the Interest Period previously established when the Loans, which are to be prepaid or are accelerated, were made. Each voluntary prepayment of a Loan shall be in the aggregate principal sum of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (except in the case of a Loan initially made in an aggregate amount less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)) and, if greater, in an integral multiple of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). In the event the Borrower cancels a proposed Loan subsequent to the delivery to the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing with respect to such Loan, but prior to the draw down of funds thereunder, such cancellation shall be treated as a prepayment subject to the aforementioned prepayment premium.

SECTION 5.06. UNUSED COMMITMENT FEES. (a) For each day that the Revolving Credit Exposure equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the Pro rata benefit of the Banks, an

-27-

unused commitment fee at the rate per annum (based on a year of 360 days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed) of fifteen (15) basis points times the excess of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect over the Revolving Credit Exposure on that day and (b) for each day that the Revolving Credit Exposure is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the Pro rata benefit of the Banks, an unused commitment fee at the rate per annum (based on a year of 360 days calculated for the actual number of days elapsed) of twenty-five (25) basis points times the excess of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect over the Revolving Credit Exposure on that day. The unused commitment fee shall be payable on the first Cleveland Banking Day after each Fiscal Quarterly Date commencing on the Restatement Effective Date and continuing on the first Cleveland Banking Day after each Fiscal Quarterly Date thereafter. After any permanent reduction of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 5.07, the unused commitment fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the Total Revolving Loan Commitments of the Banks as so reduced.

(b) All unused commitment fees as defined in the 2004 Credit Agreement that shall have accrued under the 2004 Credit Agreement and remain unpaid on the Restatement Effective Date shall be paid in full on the Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 5.07. MODIFICATION OF THE TOTAL REVOLVING LOAN COMMITMENTS. (a) At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, the Borrower may request the Agent to increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitments from the Restatement Effective Date Commitment Amount up to an amount that shall not exceed $750,000,000. Each increase may be made by either (i) proportionally increasing, for one or more Banks, with their prior written consent, their respective Commitments, in increments of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or (ii) by including one or more Additional Banks, each with a new Commitment of at least Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), as a party to this Agreement (collectively, the “Additional Commitments”). During the Commitment Increase Period, all of the Banks agree that the Agent, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, may permit one or more Additional Commitments upon satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional Bank, if any, shall execute an Additional Bank Assumption Agreement, (B) the Agent shall provide to each Bank a revised Exhibit A to this Agreement at least three Cleveland Banking Days prior to the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments (each, an “Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date”), (C) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent, the Banks and the Additional Banks such replacement or additional Revolving Loan Notes as shall be required by the Agent, such Banks or such Additional Banks, as the case may be and (D) Borrower shall pay to the Agent, each Bank with an Additional Commitment, if any, and each Additional Bank with an Additional Commitment, if any, such commitment fees as may be agreed upon between the Borrower and the Agent, such Banks and such Additional Banks, as the case may be. The Banks hereby authorize the Agent to execute each Additional Bank Assumption Agreement on behalf of the Banks. On each Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date, the Banks shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Revolving Loans and LC Obligations then outstanding, participations in Swing Loans outstanding, if any and amounts of principal, interest, fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Agent, in order to reallocate among such Banks such outstanding amounts, based on their respective Pro rata shares of the then effective Total Revolving Loan Commitments and to otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of this

-28-

Section 5.07(a). In connection therewith, it is understood and agreed that the Maximum Amount of any Bank set forth under such Bank’s name on Exhibit A hereto will not be increased (or decreased except pursuant to Section 5.07(b) hereof) without the prior written consent of such Bank. The Borrower shall not request any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 5.07(a) if a Possible Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, or immediately after giving effect to any such increase would exist.

(b) The Borrower shall have the right at all times to permanently reduce the Total Revolving Loan Commitments in whole or in part by giving written notice of the reduction to the Agent at least one Cleveland Banking Day prior to the reduction, each such reduction to be in an amount equal to at least $10,000,000, or the then Total Revolving Loan Commitments if the then Total Revolving Loan Commitments are less than $10,000,000. Each such reduction shall reduce each Bank’s Commitment Pro rata. Concurrently with each reduction, the Borrower shall prepay the amount, if any, together with interest thereon by which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans plus the LC Obligation exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitments as so reduced in accordance with Section 5.05 of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.08. EXTENSIONS OF THE LOANS.

SECTION 8.12. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Except for loans permitted by Section 8.06 of this Agreement, the Borrower will not and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into any transaction or series of transactions with any Affiliate other than in the ordinary course of business and on terms and conditions substantially as favorable as would be obtainable

(iii) with respect to Hedge Agreements and Total Rate of Return Swaps entered into by FCCC and permitted by this Agreement or the Guaranty, the related documentation may provide that an Event of Default will constitute an event of default under such Hedge Agreement or Total Rate of Return Swap, as applicable, provided, that the Hedge Agreement or Total Rate of Return Swap, as applicable, also provides that the counterparty may not terminate or exercise any remedy under such Hedge Agreement or Total Rate of Return Swap, as applicable, on account of any Event of Default unless (1) the Banks have provided a written notice of the Event of Default to the Borrower, (2) all applicable cure periods have lapsed without the Event of Default being cured and (3) the Banks may accelerate the maturity of the Revolving Loans on the basis of the Event of Default;

ARTICLE IX
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Subject only to such exceptions, if any, as may be fully disclosed on Schedule 9.00 hereto furnished by the Borrower to each Bank prior to the execution and delivery hereof, the Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

SECTION 9.01. EXISTENCE. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio and is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions (other than jurisdictions in which the nature of the property owned or business conducted, when considered in relation to the absence of serious penalties, renders qualification as a foreign corporation unnecessary as a practical matter) where the nature of the property owned and business transacted by the Borrower render such qualification necessary. Each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries is duly organized and existing in good standing in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has full power, authority,

-46-

and legal right to own and operate its respective properties and to carry on the business in which it engages and intends to engage.

SECTION 9.02. RIGHT TO ACT. No registration with or approval of any governmental agency of any kind is required for the due execution and delivery or for the enforceability of this Agreement and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower has legal power and right to execute and deliver this Agreement and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement and to perform and observe the provisions of this Agreement and any Note issued pursuant hereto and all such actions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Borrower. By executing and delivering this Agreement and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement and by performing and observing the provisions of this Agreement and any Note issued pursuant hereto, the Borrower will not violate any existing provision of its Articles of Incorporation, Code of Regulations or any applicable law or violate or otherwise become in default under any existing contract, agreement, indenture or other obligation binding upon the Borrower. The officers executing and delivering this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower have been duly authorized to do so.

SECTION 9.03. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, and the Guaranty constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Parent, in both cases enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, and the Notes, when executed and delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

SECTION 9.04. LITIGATION. No litigation or proceeding is pending or being threatened against the Borrower, the Parent or any Subsidiary before any court or any administrative agency which might, if successful, be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower or the Parent. The Internal Revenue Service has not alleged any default by the Borrower, the Parent or any Subsidiary in the payment of any tax or threatened to make any assessment in respect thereof.

SECTION 9.05. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT. No material Plan established or maintained by the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary, which is subject to Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA, had an accumulated funding deficiency (as such term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA) as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Plan ended prior to the date hereof, or would have had an accumulated funding deficiency (as so defined) on such day if such year were the first year of such Plan to which Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of that Act applied, and no material liability to the PBGC, has been, or is expected by the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary to be, incurred with respect to any such Plan by the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary.

SECTION 9.06. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. To the actual knowledge of the Borrower, the Borrower and each Subsidiary are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, arranges or has arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or otherwise, for which failure to comply is likely to result in claims, penalties or fines in excess of $500,000 for any single claim of

-47-

noncompliance or $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all such claims and occurrences. No litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or in connection with any Environmental Law is pending or threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any real property in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary holds or has held an interest or any past or present operation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary. To the actual knowledge of the Borrower, no release, threatened release or disposal of hazardous waste, solid waste or other wastes is occurring, or has occurred, on, under, from, or to any real property in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary holds any interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law that could reasonably be expected to result in claims of liability against the Borrower or any Subsidiary in excess of $500,000 for any single claim or $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all such claims. As used in this subsection, “litigation or proceeding” means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in equity, action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any governmental authority, private person or entity or otherwise.

SECTION 9.07. SOLVENCY. The Borrower has received consideration which is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the Borrower has incurred to the Banks. The Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will the Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Note to the Banks. The Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it shall be an unreasonably small capital, taking into consideration the obligations to the Banks incurred hereunder. The Borrower does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay them as they mature.

SECTION 9.08. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The annual financial statements of the Borrower prepared as of January 31, 2007, certified by the Borrower’s Chief Financial Officer and heretofore furnished to each Bank, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with those used by the Borrower during its immediately preceding full fiscal year and fairly present its financial condition as of those dates and the results of its operations for the periods set forth therein. Since January 31, 2007, there has been no change in the Borrower’s financial condition, properties or business or in the financial condition, properties or business of any Subsidiary, in each case that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

SECTION 9.09. DEFAULTS. No Event of Default or Possible Default exists hereunder, nor will any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof.

SECTION 9.10. OPERATIONS. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have obtained and continue to possess all permits, licenses and authorizations the absence of which would materially and adversely affect the Borrower’s or a Subsidiary’s ability to carry on its business in the ordinary course.

SECTION 9.11. TITLE TO PROPERTIES; PATENTS, TRADE MARKS, ETC. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all of their properties and assets, including, without limitation, the properties and assets reflected in the financial statements referred to in Section 9.08 (excepting, however, inventory and other immaterial assets, in each case sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the date of such financial statements). There are no Liens of any nature whatsoever on any of the properties

-48-

or assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than such as are permitted under Section 8.05. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns or possesses all the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, and licenses and rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the conduct of their respective businesses as now conducted, without any known conflict with the valid rights of others which would be inconsistent with the conduct of its business substantially as now conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted.

SECTION 9.12. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The Borrower and, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, each Subsidiary is not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the material obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any evidence of Indebtedness or Contingent Obligations. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will violate the provisions of any applicable law or of any applicable order or regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, or will conflict with any material permit, license or authorization, or will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any restriction or of any agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is now a party, or will constitute a default thereunder, or will result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

SECTION 9.13. MATERIAL RESTRICTIONS. Neither the Borrower, nor the Parent nor any of their respective Subsidiaries are a party to any agreement or other instrument or subject to any other restriction which would have a Materially Adverse Effect on the Parent or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

SECTION 9.14. CORRECTNESS OF DATA FURNISHED. This Agreement and all schedules and exhibits attached hereto do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading; and there is no fact not otherwise disclosed in writing to the Agent which, to the knowledge of the Borrower, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 9.15. TAXES. The Borrower, the Parent and each of their respective Subsidiaries has (a) timely filed all returns required to be filed by it with respect to all taxes, (b) paid all taxes shown to have become due pursuant to such returns, and (c) paid all other taxes for which a notice of assessment or demand for payment has been received other than taxes that the Borrower, the Parent or such Subsidiary is contesting in good faith with appropriate proceedings. All tax returns have been prepared in accordance with all applicable laws and requirements and accurately reflect in all material respects the taxable income (or other measure of tax) of the Borrower, the Parent or such Subsidiary filing the same. The accruals for taxes contained in the financial statements referred to in Section 9.08 are adequate under GAAP to cover all liabilities for taxes for all periods ending on or before the date of such financial statements and include adequate provision for all deferred taxes (including deferred federal taxes), and nothing has occurred subsequent to that date to make any of such accruals inadequate. All taxes for periods beginning after the date of this Agreement through and including the Restatement Effective Date have been paid or are adequately reserved against on the books of the Borrower or the Parent, as applicable. The Borrower, the Parent and each of their respective Subsidiaries has timely filed all information returns or reports which are required to be filed and has accurately reported all information required to be included on such returns or

-49-

reports. There are no proposed assessments of taxes against the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries nor proposed adjustments to any tax return filed that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower or the Parent.

SECTION 9.16. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The Borrower and, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge, the Parent and each of their respective Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all material laws, rules, regulations, court orders and decrees, and orders of any governmental agency which are applicable to the Borrower, the Parent or their respective Subsidiaries or to their respective properties.

SECTION 9.17. REGULATION U, ETC. The Borrower does not own, nor does it have any present intention of acquiring, any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U (12 CFR Part 221) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (herein called “margin stock”). The proceeds of the Loans will not be used, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness or other liability which was originally incurred to purchase or carry, any margin stock or for any other purpose which might cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of said Regulation U, or which might cause this Agreement to violate Regulation U, Regulation T, Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Upon request, the Borrower will promptly furnish the Agent with a statement in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U.

SECTION 9.18. [RESERVED].

SECTION 9.19. SECURITIES ACT, ETC. Neither the registration of any security under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other federal, state or local securities laws, nor the qualification of the Agreement, the Notes and/or the Guaranty under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is required in connection with the Loans or the issuance and delivery of the Notes pursuant hereto.

SECTION 9.20. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. The Borrower is not, nor immediately after the application by the Borrower of the proceeds of each Loan will the Borrower be, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

SECTION 9.21. INDEBTEDNESS OF SUBSIDIARIES. No Subsidiary has any Indebtedness other than (a) on terms that limit recourse for the payment thereof to the real property or other assets of the Subsidiary securing such Indebtedness, provided, that the assets securing such Indebtedness were acquired or developed with the proceeds of such Indebtedness, (b) such Indebtedness that is owed by a SPE Subsidiary, or (c) Indebtedness permitted under Section 8.04, 8.06 or 8.07 of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.22. GUARANTIES.(a) All outstanding guaranties, including, but not limited to Completion Guaranties, issued by the Parent and the maximum amounts guaranteed pursuant to each such guaranty are set forth on Schedule 9.22 attached hereto.

-50-

(b) With respect to each Completion Guaranty set forth on Schedule 9.22, the Parent has received a budget for the relevant construction project and any interest reserve provided in connection therewith is available to the construction lender only through project completion and not through stabilization of the project.

SECTION 9.23. INDEBTEDNESS. Schedule 9.23 attached hereto sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Indebtedness, of each of the Parent and the Borrower (other than the Loans and intercompany Indebtedness), not otherwise disclosed on the most recent financial statements delivered by the Borrower to the Banks or by the Parent to the Banks, as applicable.

ARTICLE XII
THE AGENT

SECTION 12.01. APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION. Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints KeyBank National Association as the Agent of such Bank to act as specified in this Agreement and each such Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes KeyBank National Association to take such action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties hereunder as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any Related Writing, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article XII. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, or any fiduciary relationship with any Bank or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into, created by or arise under this Agreement or any Related Writing or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the Related Writings with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Subject to the provisions of Sections 12.03 and 12.11, the Agent shall administer the Loans in the same manner as it administers its own loans. The provisions of this Article XII are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and neither the Borrower, the Parent nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks and the Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower, the Parent or their respective Subsidiaries.

SECTION 12.02. DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement, the Notes or any Related Writing by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

SECTION 12.03. LIABILITY OF AGENT. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement, the Notes or the other Related Writings or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Banks or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower, the Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their responsible officers, contained in this Agreement or any Related Writing, or for any failure of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, or any other party to this Agreement or any Related Writing to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Related Writing. Each Bank by its signature to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Agent has made no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the creditworthiness, financial condition or any other condition of Borrower, the Parent or any Subsidiary, or with respect to the statements contained in any information memorandum furnished in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between the Agent and such Bank. Each Bank represents that it has made and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness, financial condition and affairs of Borrower, the Parent and any Subsidiary in connection with the extension of credit hereunder, and agrees that the Agent has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than such notices as may be expressly required to be given by Agent to the Banks hereunder), whether coming into its possession before the granting of the first Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Bank or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any Related Writing, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Parent, the Borrower, any of their Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of any of them.

SECTION 12.04. RELIANCE BY AGENT.

The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or the Notes or any Related Writing unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks or the Super Majority Banks, as it deems appropriate, and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Related Writings in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Banks or the Super Majority Banks, as applicable, and such request and any action or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VI, each Bank that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Agent shall have received written notice from such Bank prior to the Restatement Effective Date or from an Additional Bank prior to the applicable Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date, as applicable, specifying its objection thereto.

SECTION 12.05. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE AGENT; SUCCESSOR AGENT.

Upon the resignation or removal of the Agent, the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor Agent for the Banks subject to prior approval of the Borrower so long as no Possible Default or Event of Default then exists (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall include such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the resigning or removed Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of the former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation or removal of the Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. In the event no successor agent has been appointed by the end of such twenty (20) day period in the case of a resignation or upon the removal of the Agent by the Required Banks (excluding the Agent), the resignation or removal of the Agent shall become effective and the Required Banks shall perform the duties of the Agent until a successor agent is appointed.

SECTION 12.06. NOTE HOLDERS. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes unless and until written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

SECTION 12.07. CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL. (a) The Agent may consult with legal counsel reasonably selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

-57-

prevailing party in any such dispute and, provided, further, that the Agent shall only be entitled to such reimbursement from those Banks that were involved in the dispute with the Agent. Any loss of principal and interest resulting from any Event of Default shall be shared by the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro rata shares.

SECTION 12.08. DOCUMENTS. The Agent shall not be under a duty to examine into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or value of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Related Writing furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or the value of any collateral obtained hereunder, and the Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and what they purport to be.

SECTION 12.09. KNOWLEDGE OF DEFAULT. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Possible Default or Event of Default hereunder (other than the failure to make available to the Agent any principal of or interest on the Loans for the account of the Banks as required under this Agreement and the Notes), unless the Agent has actually received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower describing such Possible Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Banks; provided, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Possible Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of the Banks.

SECTION 12.10. INDEMNIFICATION. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks agree to indemnify upon demand the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so), Pro rata according to the respective principal amounts of their Commitment from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any Related Writing, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent under or in connection with the foregoing, provided, that no Bank shall be liable to the Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or from any action taken or omitted by the Agent in any capacity other than as agent under this Agreement, provided, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or the Super Majority Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.10. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section 12.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Debt and the resignation of the Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its Pro rata share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses

-58-

(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any Related Writing or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such costs or expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.

The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, KeyBank National Association, National City Bank or their respective Affiliates may receive information regarding the Parent, the Borrower or their Subsidiaries (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Parent, the Borrower or their Subsidiaries) and acknowledge that the Agents shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, each of KeyBank National Association and National City Bank and their respective Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include KeyBank National Association and National City in their individual capacities.

SECTION 12.12. EQUALIZATION PROVISION. Each Bank agrees with the other Banks that if it at any time shall obtain any Advantage over the other Banks or any thereof in respect of Borrower’s Debt to the Banks including without limitation in respect of the letters of credit described in Schedule 3.01 hereof (except as to Swing Loans prior to the Agent’s giving of notice to participate and under Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10 and/or 4.11, hereof), it will purchase from the other Banks, for cash and at par, such additional participation in Borrower’s Debt to the Banks as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage. If any said Advantage resulting in the purchase of an additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Bank receiving the Advantage each such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Bank receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the Advantage from such Bank) ratably to the extent of the recovery. Each Bank further agrees with the other Banks that if it at any time shall receive any payment from or on behalf of Borrower on any Indebtedness owing by the Borrower to that Bank by reason of offset of any deposit or other Indebtedness, it will apply such payment first to any and all Debt owing by Borrower to that Bank pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this Section 12.13) until Borrower’s Debt has been paid in full. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from the other Banks pursuant to this Section may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

-59-

SECTION 12.13. NO RELIANCE ON AGENTS’ CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROGRAMS. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that neither such Bank, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees may rely on the Agents, or either of them, to carry out such Bank’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including, without limitation, any identity verification procedures, any record keeping, any comparisons with government lists, any customer notices or any other procedures required under the USA Patriot Act, its regulations or any other Anti-Terrorism Law.

Notice of amendments or consents ratified by the Banks hereunder shall immediately be forwarded by the Agent to all Banks, provided, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent and the Swing Line Lenders shall have the right to decrease the interest rate on the Swing Loans, extend the maturity of payments on the Swing Loans for ten (10) days beyond the applicable Swing Loan Maturity Date and decrease the amount of payments on the Swing Loans, without the consent of any other Banks, other than the other Swing Line Lender and any Bank that has purchased a participation in such Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(c) hereof. Each Swing Line Lender must consent to any increase in the Maximum Swing Line Amount. Each Bank or other holder of a Note shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section 13.02, regardless of its failure to agree thereto.

By its signature hereto, each Bank consents to the terms and provisions of the Amended and Restated Guaranty, dated as of the date hereof, and issued by the Parent to the Banks, the Agents, and the Co-Documentation Agents.

SECTION 13.03. NOTICES. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telex, facsimile, transmission or cable communication) and mailed, telexed, telegraphed, facsimile transmitted, cabled or delivered, if to the Borrower, addressed to it at the address specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, if to a Bank, addressed to the address of such Bank specified on the signature pages of this Agreement and if to the Agents, addressed to them at the address of the Agent or the Syndication Agent, as applicable, specified on the signature pages of this Agreement. All notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be given or made when delivered or forty-eight (48) hours after being deposited in the mails with postage prepaid by registered or certified mail or delivered to a telegraph company, addressed as aforesaid, except that notices from the Borrower to the Agent or the Banks pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall not be effective until received by the Agent or the Banks.

SECTION 13.04. COSTS, EXPENSES AND TAXES. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Banks and the Agents, and any expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement, the Notes and any Related Writings, including, without limitation (i) administration and out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the Notes, the collection and disbursement of all funds hereunder and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (ii) extraordinary expenses of the Agents or the Banks in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the Notes and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (iii) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Xxxxxxxx Xxxx LLP, counsel to the Agent, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and related matters, and (iv) all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses, in connection with the restructuring or enforcement of this Agreement,

-61-

the Notes or any Related Writing. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Notes, and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save the Agents and each Bank harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes or fees.

SECTION 13.05. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and warranties of the Borrower made in or pursuant to this Agreement or in any certificate or other Related Writing in connection herewith shall survive the closing hereof or the making of the Loans or other transactions in connection with which given.

SECTION 13.06. OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL; NO FIDUCIARY OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the Banks hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Agents or the Banks pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Banks a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No default by any Bank hereunder shall excuse the other Banks from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Bank shall have or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of such default. The relationship among the Borrower and the Banks with respect to this Agreement, any Note and any Related Writing is and shall be solely that of debtor and creditor, respectively, and no Bank has any fiduciary obligation toward the Borrower with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

SECTION 13.07. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

SECTION 13.08. BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT. (a) This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the “Restatement Effective Date”) (i) when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Agents and by each Bank and shall have been delivered to the Agent and (ii) when the conditions set forth in Article VI are met to the satisfaction of, or waived in writing by, the Agent and the Required Lenders, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and each of the Banks and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Banks, which consent may be withheld in their sole discretion. Each Bank may at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under its Note or Notes to another commercial bank, financial institution, mutual fund or any institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), provided, that in the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement, the Notes or any Related Writing (the participant’s rights against such Bank in respect of any such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by such Bank hereunder shall be determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation; and provided, further, that no Bank shall transfer, assign or grant any participation under this Agreement under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any Related Writing.

-62-

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Bank may assign all or a portion of its Loans and/or Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of such Bank and (ii) with the consent of the Agent and the Borrower so long as no Possible Default or Event of Default then exists (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any Bank may assign all or a portion of its Loans and/or Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions (including one or more Banks), mutual funds or institutional “accredited investors” (as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), provided, that (A) any assignment of a Bank’s Loans shall include a ratable part of such Bank’s Commitment, and (B) the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment of a Commitment to the extent any letters of credit are outstanding. No assignment pursuant to subsection (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be in an aggregate amount less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). If any Bank so sells all or a part of its rights hereunder or under any Note, any reference in this Agreement or such Note to such assigning Bank shall thereafter refer to such Bank and to the respective assignee to the extent of their respective interests and the respective assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would if it were such assigning Bank. Each assignment pursuant to Section 13.08(b)(ii) shall be effected by the assigning Bank and the assignee Bank executing a Bank Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G (appropriately completed). At the time of any such assignment pursuant to Section 13.08(b)(ii), (X) Exhibit A shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the Commitments of the respective assignee (which shall result in a corresponding reduction of the Commitment of the assigning Bank) and of the other Banks (Y) if any such assignment occurs after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower will issue new Notes to the respective assignee and to the assigning Bank (upon delivery of the existing Note or Notes of such assigning Bank) in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement and (Z) the Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Bank, the payment of a nonrefundable assignment fee of $3,000.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.08, no transfer or assignment of the interests or obligations of any Bank hereunder or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to qualify the loans under the “Blue Sky” laws of any State.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.08, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as applicable, has not resigned or been removed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, each Agent agrees that it will not assign or transfer any of its Loans and/or Commitments to the extent that the amount of the Loans and/or Commitments that such Agent would continue to hold following such assignment or transfer would be less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Loans and/or Commitments of all of the Banks.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Guaranty and the other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the Notes held by it) to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of

-63-

the Federal Reserve Board without notice to, or the consent of, the Agents, the Borrower or the Parent, provided, that no such pledge or assignment or enforcement thereof shall release a Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

SECTION 13.09. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE BORROWER. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, the Banks and their respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and settlements costs, which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agents, the Banks and their respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether the Agents and the Banks are or are not designated as a party thereto) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Related Writings, the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the Permitted Non-Affiliate Loans, or any actual or proposed use of proceeds hereunder or thereunder, except that neither the Agents and the Banks nor any directors, officers, employees and Affiliates thereof shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. All obligations under this Section 13.09 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 13.10. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, each of the Notes and any Related Writing shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws and the respective rights and obligations of the Borrower and the Banks shall be governed by Ohio law.

SECTION 13.11. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS; CAPTIONS. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The several headings to Sections and subsections herein are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 13.12. PURPOSE. Each of the Banks represents and warrants to the Borrower that it is entering into this Agreement with the present intention of acquiring any Note issued pursuant hereto solely in connection with such Bank’s commercial lending activities and not for the purpose of distribution or resale, it being understood, however, that each Bank shall at all times retain full control over the disposition of its assets.

SECTION 13.13. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The Borrower agrees that any action or proceeding to enforce or arising out of this Agreement may be commenced in the Court of Common Pleas for Cuyahoga County, Ohio or in the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of Ohio, and the Borrower waives personal service of process and agrees that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any such court shall be properly served and shall confer personal jurisdiction over the Borrower if served to the Borrower at the address listed opposite the signature of the Borrower at the end of this Agreement or as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Ohio or the United States.

-64-

SECTION 13.14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the Notes, the Related Writings and any other agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or referred to herein or executed on or as of the date hereof integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 13.15. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE BANKS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG BORROWER AND THE BANKS, OR ANY THEREOF, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO. THIS WAIVER SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT, WAIVE, LIMIT, AMEND OR MODIFY ANY BANK’S ABILITY TO PURSUE REMEDIES PURSUANT TO ANY CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT OR COGNOVIT PROVISION CONTAINED IN ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT AMONG THE BORROWER AND THE BANKS, OR ANY THEREOF.

SECTION 13.16. SURVIVAL. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans and the satisfaction of all other obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 13.17. 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 limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Possible Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists, and if a particular action or condition is expressly permitted under any covenant, unless expressly limited to such covenant, the fact that it would not be permitted under the general provisions of another covenant shall not constitute a Possible Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

SECTION 13.18. INTERPRETATION. The Borrower, each Agent and each Bank acknowledges that such party, either directly or through such party’s representatives, has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, and any applicable rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

SECTION 13.19. GENERAL LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No claim may be made by the Borrower, the Parent, any Subsidiary of the Parent, any Bank, the Agent, the Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent or any other Person against the Agent, the Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation Agent or any other Bank or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than compensatory 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, the Notes, the Guaranty or any other Related Writing, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower, each Bank, the Agent, the Syndication Agent and each Co-Documentation Agent

-65-

hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, waives, releases and agrees not to xxx or counterclaim upon any such claim for any special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

SECTION 13.20. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION.

Each Bank, each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) and each Co-Documentation Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, such Bank, such Agent and such Co-Documentation Agent are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender, such Agent or such Co-Documentation Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act.

FORM OF REVOLVING LOAN NOTE

AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING LOAN NOTE
(Holder)

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FOREST CITY RENTAL PROPERTIES CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [Name of Holder] (the “Holder”), in lawful money of the United States of America, at the main office of KeyBank National Association, Administrative Agent, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000, the principal sum of [ ] DOLLARS ($[ ]), or, if lesser, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans evidenced by this Note (as hereinafter defined) made by the Holder to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined). The unpaid principal balance outstanding on this Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Note (this “Note”) from time to time and interest thereon shall be determined by the ledgers and records of the Holder as accurately maintained.

This Note is one of the Revolving Loan Notes defined and referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, a certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 6, 2007, by and among the Borrower, the Banks named therein, KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent, National City Bank, as Syndication Agent and Bank of America, N.A. and LaSalle Bank National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents (as so amended, and as it may be further amended, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). A statement of the rights of the Holder and the duties and obligations of the Borrower in relation thereto is made by reference to the Credit Agreement, but neither this reference to the Credit Agreement nor any provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal of and interest on this Note when due. Capitalized terms used in this Note but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

This Note amends, restates and replaces in its entirety the Revolving Loan Note dated as of June 30, 2006 by the Borrower in favor of the Holder (the “Original Note”) and is not intended as, and shall not be deemed to be, a repayment, cancellation, refinancing or replacement of the Indebtedness created by the Original Note, but rather as a consolidation and continuation of such Indebtedness on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The principal of this Note shall be due and payable on the Termination Date, or earlier as provided in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding from the date of this Note until the payment in full thereof at the rates per annum determined in accordance with the Credit

Agreement. Interest shall be payable on each date provided for in or determined in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement; provided, that interest on any principal not paid when due shall be due and payable on demand.

Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement, which contains provisions for the acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and for voluntary prepayments hereon. The term “Holder” includes the successors and assigns, if any, of the Holder named in the first paragraph hereof.

If this Note shall not be paid at maturity, whether such maturity occurs by reason of lapse of time or by operation of any provision for acceleration of maturity contained in the Credit Agreement, the principal hereof and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at a rate(s) equal to the rate(s) otherwise in effect pursuant to the Credit Agreement plus two percent (2%) per annum. All payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made in immediately available funds.

The Borrower waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and diligence in collection and bringing suit, and agrees that the Holder may extend the time for payment, accept partial payment, take security therefor or exchange or release any collateral, without discharging or releasing the Borrower.

This Note was executed in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The construction, validity and enforceability of this Note shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Ohio.

The Borrower authorizes any attorney at law to appear before any court of record, whether state or Federal, in the county where this Note was executed or where the Borrower resides or may be found, after the unpaid principal balance of this Note becomes due, either by lapse of time or by operation of any provision for acceleration of maturity contained in the Credit Agreement, and waive the issuance and service of process, admit the maturity of this Note, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, and confess judgment against the Borrower in favor of the Holder of this Note for the amount then appearing due on this Note, together with interest thereon and costs of suit, and thereupon to release all errors and waive all rights of appeal and stays of execution. The Borrower expressly authorizes any attorneys or agents for the Holder to receive compensation from the Holder for services rendered in exercising the foregoing warrant of attorney and in the enforcement of any judgment obtained against the Borrower in favor of the Holder on this Note, and the Borrower expressly waives any conflict of interest to which any attorneys for the Holder may be subject that may arise in connection with such attorneys exercising any of the rights and/or powers of the Holder provided for herein or the enforcement of any judgment hereon in favor of the Holder. The foregoing warrant of attorney shall survive any judgment and may be used from time to time without exhausting the right to further use the warrant of attorney and, if any judgment be vacated for any reason, the Holder of this Note nevertheless may use the foregoing warrant of attorney to obtain an additional judgment or judgments against the Borrower.

“WARNING — BY SIGNING THIS PAPER YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO NOTICE AND COURT TRIAL. IF YOU DO NOT PAY ON TIME A COURT JUDGMENT MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST YOU WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND THE POWERS OF A COURT CAN BE USED TO COLLECT FROM YOU REGARDLESS OF ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST THE CREDITOR WHETHER FOR RETURNED GOODS, FAULTY GOODS, FAILURE ON HIS PART TO COMPLY WITH THE AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE.”

A statement of the rights of the Holder and the duties and obligations of the Borrower in relation thereto is made by reference to the Credit Agreement, but neither this reference to the Credit Agreement nor any provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal of and interest on this Note when due.
