Loans under a revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 2.1(A) under the heading “Revolving Credit Commitments” (such amount as the same may be reduced from time to time, being referred to as such Lender’s “Revolving Credit Commitment”); provided that the aggregate amount of Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the lesser of:

(i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; and

(ii) (A) (1) 80% of Eligible Receivables plus (2) 50% of Eligible Inventory minus (B) $5,000,000 until such time as Agent has received the results of a field audit with respect to the Collateral which results are reasonably acceptable to Agent minus (C) the outstanding balance of the Term Loan (such amount referred to herein as the “Borrowing Base”).

During such period and subject to Section 3.2(C), the Revolving Credit Facility may be utilized by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing the Loans thereunder.

(B) Term Loan. Each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally and not jointly agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make available for Borrowers’ use, a term loan (the “Term Loan”) in the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 2.1(B) under the heading “Term Loan Commitments” (such amount being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Term Loan Commitment”). Repayments and prepayments of the Term Loan shall not be subject to reborrowing.

2.2 Evidence of Debt. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Loans made by each Lender to Borrowers thereunder shall be evidenced by an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Note payable to the order of such Lender, which note shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. The Term Loan and the Loans made by each Lender to Borrowers thereunder shall be evidenced by an Amended and Restated Term Note payable to the order of such Lender, which note shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.

2.3 Loan Accounts; Amount and Maintenance of Loans; Interest Rate Not Determined.

(A) Loan Account. Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall record on its books and records the amount of each Loan made, the interest rate applicable, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding, and such record shall, absent demonstrable error be conclusive evidence of the amount of the Loans made by Lenders to Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to record or any error in doing so shall, however, limit or otherwise

affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder (and under any Note) to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

(B) Amount and Maintenance of Loans. The Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility may be made and maintained as (i) Prime Rate Loans, (ii) LIBOR Loans, or (iii) a combination of Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans. The Term Loan may be made and maintained as (i) Prime Rate Loans or (ii) LIBOR Loans or (iii) a combination of Prime Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans. The aggregate principal amount of each LIBOR Loan, whether new, converted or continued, shall not be less than $500,000. More than one borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than five LIBOR Loans in the aggregate under the Revolving Credit Facility and five LIBOR Loans in the aggregate under the Term Loan. The amount of any Loan is also subject to the limits contained in Section 2.1. No LIBOR Loan shall be made at any time a Default or Event of Default shall exist.

(C) Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) that currency deposits in the amount of such LIBOR Loan are not generally available in the London Interbank market, or that the rate at which such currency deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Agent of maintaining the principal amount of such LIBOR Loan during such Interest Period, Agent shall promptly, after such determination shall have been made, give facsimile notice of such determination to Borrowers and Lenders, and, until Agent shall notify Borrowers and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by Borrowers for the making of, conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Loan shall be deemed to be a request for a Prime Rate Loan. Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Borrowers of a change in the circumstances causing the LIBOR Loan to be unavailable but shall not incur any liability for any failure so to notify Borrowers.

2.4 Interest Rate. Unless otherwise provided in a writing evidencing such Liabilities, Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loans from time to time at a rate equal to (i) with respect to Prime Rate Loans, the Prime Rate and (ii) with respect to LIBOR Loans, the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The records of Agent as to the interest rate applicable to a particular advance shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Interest shall be payable from the date of such advance of the Loan to the day of repayment of such advance. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and shall be payable as provided in Section 3.2. Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender, reserves the right to charge Borrowers’ checking account(s) for accrued interest on the applicable Interest Payment Date. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the rate or amount of interest paid by Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements exceed the maximum amount permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. In the event that such a court determines that Agent or any

Lender has received interest under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Agreement in excess of the maximum amount permitted by such law, (i) Agent or such Lender shall apply such excess to any unpaid principal owed by Borrowers to such Lender first, under the Revolving Credit Facility and second under the Term Loan or, if the amount of such excess exceeds the unpaid balance of such principal on both the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan, such Lender shall promptly refund such excess interest to Borrowers and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate. All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, by Borrowers which are, or to be may be construed to be, compensation for the use, forbearance or detention of money shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, spread and allocated throughout the term of all such indebtedness until the indebtedness is paid in full.

2.5 Revolving Credit Facility Borrowing Procedures. In order to effect a Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility, an authorized officer of each of the Borrowers shall give Agent irrevocable written notice (in form and substance acceptable to Agent) or irrevocable telephone notice (immediately confirmed by such written notice by facsimile) not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on (i) the proposed borrowing date in the case of Prime Rate Loans, and (ii) the second Business Day prior to the proposed borrowing date in the case of LIBOR Loans (the “Notice of Borrowing”). Borrowers hereby authorize Agent and each Lender to extend advances and make Loans to Borrowers based on written or telephone notice from an authorized officer of Borrowers. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the principal amount of the Loan to be made pursuant to such borrowing and the date of such borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), that the Loans are under the Revolving Credit Facility, whether the Loans being made pursuant to such borrowing are to be maintained as Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. Promptly after receipt of such request, Agent shall advise each Lender thereof. Not later than 2:30 p.m., Chicago time, on the date of a proposed borrowing, each Lender shall provide Agent, at the principal office of Agent in Chicago, with immediately available funds equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the borrowing, and subject to receipt by Agent of the documents required under Section 2.11(B) with respect to such borrowing, if any are required, Agent shall pay over such funds received by it to Borrowers on the requested borrowing date.

2.6 General Provisions.

(A) One Loan. All Loans and advances by each Lender to Borrowers under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (whether made under the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan) shall constitute one loan and all indebtedness and obligations of Borrowers to all of the Lenders under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall constitute one general obligation secured by the Collateral.

(B) Events of Default. Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, refrain from making any Loans or extensions of credit to Borrowers under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default.

2.7 Conversion Options; Continuance.

(A) Conversion Requirements. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert a Prime Rate Loan, or any portion thereof, to a LIBOR Loan by Borrowers giving Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice of conversion, which notice must be in form and substance acceptable to Agent and received by Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) (the “Notice of Conversion”). If the date on which a Prime Rate Loan is to be converted to a LIBOR Loan is not a Business Day, then such conversion shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and during the period from such date to such succeeding Business Day, such Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest as if it were a Prime Rate Loan. All or any part of outstanding borrowings may be converted as provided herein. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrowers may convert a LIBOR Loan into a Prime Rate Loan by Borrowers giving Agent a Notice of Conversion not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the desired conversion date. Promptly upon receipt of each Notice of Conversion, Agent shall advise each Lender thereof.

(B) Continuance. Any LIBOR Loan may be continued as such, in whole or in part, upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrowers gives Agent irrevocable written notice of continuance which notice must be in form and substance acceptable to Agent and received by Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time), at least two Business Days prior to the date of expiration of the Interest Period expiring with respect to the LIBOR Loan which is requested to be continued, specifying (i) the LIBOR Loan, or portion thereof, requested to be continued; (ii) the date of expiration of the Interest Period expiring with respect to the LIBOR Loan, or portion thereof, which is requested to be continued; and (iii) the length of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Loan, or portion thereof, after the continuation thereof (the “Notice of Continuance”); provided that no LIBOR Loans may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan. If Borrowers do not comply with the notice provisions of this clause (B), such LIBOR Loan shall be automatically converted to a Prime Rate Loan upon the expiration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. Promptly upon receipt of each Notice of Continuance, Agent shall advise each Lender thereof.

(C) Restatement of Representations and Warranties. Any Notice of Conversion or Notice of Continuance delivered pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be deemed to be a representation that all of the representations and warranties of Borrowers contained in this Agreement shall then be true and correct as if made on such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, and that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

2.8 Requirements of Law.

(A) Increased Costs. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, in the event that the introduction of or any change in any law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality or regulatory body:

(i) subjects such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Ancillary Agreement or the Loans made hereunder, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of principal, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the United States, any state or subdivision thereof);

(ii) imposes, modifies, holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder); or

(iii) imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or the LIBOR Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making, continuing or maintaining or participating in LIBOR Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable thereunder or to increase the withholding taxes payable then, in any such case, Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay such Lender, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on an after-tax basis for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable or increased withholding taxes payable which such Lender deems to be material as determined by such Lender with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the other Ancillary Agreements or the Loans made hereunder.

(B) Capital Adequacy. In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any law, rule, regulation, treaty or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or application of any of the foregoing or compliance by such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality or regulatory body, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement to a level below that which such Lender or such parent could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time,

after submission by such Lender to Borrowers of a written request therefor, Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to such Lender, within 15 days after its demand, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such parent on an after-tax basis for such reduction; provided that such Lender is charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers.

(C) Certificate for Claim. If any Lender or its parent becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.8, it shall promptly notify Borrowers, Agent and the other Lenders of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by such Lender or its parent shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the absence of manifest error. The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement.

(D) No Waiver. Failure on the part of any Lender or its parent to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such party’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period. The protection of this Section 2.8 shall be available to such party regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed; provided that if such party shall have recouped any amount therefore paid to it by Borrowers under this Section 2.8, such Lender shall pay to Borrowers an amount equal to the net recoupment so received by such party, as determined in good faith by such party.

(E) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender determines in accordance with Section 2.9 that, due to illegality, it is unable to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or requests compensation under this Section 2.8, or if any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, then Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.2), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Agent, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (and unpaid Reimbursement Obligations), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under this Section 2.8 such assignment will result in a reduction of such compensation.

2.9 Illegality. Any Lender may make or maintain LIBOR Loans at or for the credit of any branch, subsidiary or affiliate office inside or outside the United States or any international banking facility within the United States, as such Lender may elect from time to time. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for such Lender to maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the agreement of such Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall terminate and all outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted automatically to Prime Rate Loans, on the last day of the then current Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law.

2.10 Indemnity. Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify any Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any cost, loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) Borrowers making a payment or prepayment of principal or interest on any LIBOR Loan (including, without limitation, through a conversion to the same or a different type of Loan or pursuant to Sections 2.3(B) and 2.9 above) on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) any failure by Borrowers to borrow or convert any Loan hereunder after a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion has been given (in the case of LIBOR Loans), (iii) default by Borrowers in making any prepayment after Borrowers have given a notice of prepayment and (iv) any acceleration of the maturity of the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any such reasonable cost, loss or expense arising in liquidating the Loans and from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Loans hereunder.

(B) Issuance of Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit.

(i) Pre-Termination Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit. In the event Borrowers request the issuance of any Letter(s) of Credit with that would, if issued, result in the sum of (1) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations and (2) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility to exceed the then current Availability, Borrowers may request that the Issuing Lender issue a Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit provided that Borrowers, jointly and severally, deposit cash in an amount equal to such excess in the Cash Collateral Account at least five (5) Business Days prior to the issuance of any such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit. To the extent that one or more Cash Collateralized Letter(s) of Credit expire (and are not drawn upon) and are not extended or are otherwise terminated without any continuing liability to Agent, the Issuing Lender or Lenders, which results in the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations being equal to or less than the Availability as of such date, Agent shall refund the cash held in the Cash Collateral Account with respect to such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit to the Borrowers within five (5) Business Days less any Letter of Credit Fees applicable thereto. In addition, following any such deposit of cash in the Cash Collateral Account, at any time and from time to time that the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility plus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit Obligations becomes equal to or less than the sum of (x) the Availability plus (y) the amount of cash held in the Cash Collateral Account as of such date, Agent shall refund to the Borrowers within (5) Business Days a sum of cash held in the Cash Collateral Account equal to such excess less any Letter of Credit Fees applicable thereto. Any deposit made to the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.13(B)(i) shall be used exclusively to facilitate the issuance of Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit requested hereunder and shall not affect the Availability or Borrowing Base.

(ii) Post-Termination Letters of Credit. In the event any Letter of Credit issued under Section 2.13(A) or 2.13(B)(i) exists on, and has an expiration date that is later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date (each a “Post-Termination Letter of Credit”), at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall deposit in the Cash Collateral Account available funds free and clear of all Liens in an amount equal to the face amount of such Post-Termination Letter of Credit. In no event may a Post-Termination Letter of Credit be renewed or include an automatic “evergreen” provision providing for renewal. Upon the expiration of any such Post-Termination Letter of Credit, Agent shall refund to the Borrowers

within five (5) Business Days after such expiration any undrawn funds deposited pursuant to this Section 2.13(B)(ii) associated with such Post-Termination Letter of Credit less any Letter of Credit Fees applicable thereto. Any deposit made to the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.13(B)(ii) shall not affect the Availability or Borrowing Base.

(C) Participating Interests. Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.13(A) or Section 2.13(B), each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided participation interest equal to its Percentage of the face amount of such Letter of Credit and each draw paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder, including, without limitation any Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit or Post Termination Letter of Credit. Each Lender’s obligation to pay its proportionate share of all draws under the Letters of Credit (including, without limitation any Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit or Post Termination Letter of Credit), absent gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Issuing Lender in honoring any such draw, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and in each case shall be made without counterclaim or set-off by such Lender.

(D) Letter of Credit Reimbursement Obligations.

(i) (a) Borrowers agree to pay to the Issuing Lender (1) on each date that any amount is drawn under each Letter of Credit a sum (and interest on such sum as provided in clause (2) below) equal to the amount so drawn plus all other charges and expenses with respect thereto or in the applicable Reimbursement Agreement and (2) interest on any and all amounts remaining unpaid under this Section 2.13 until payment in full at the Prime Rate plus 2.00% per annum. Borrowers agree to pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing in respect of any Letter of Credit immediately when due, under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances: (w) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements executed pursuant hereto; (x) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the Borrowers and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (y) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any document which the Issuing Lender has determined in good faith complies on its face with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, even if such document should later prove to have been forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein shall have been untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or (z)

the surrender or material impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms hereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in any Reimbursement Agreement, Borrowers agree to reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts which the Issuing Lender pays under such Letter of Credit no later than the time specified in this Agreement. If Borrowers do not pay any such Reimbursement Obligations when due, Borrowers shall be deemed to have immediately requested that Lenders make a Prime Rate Loan under this Agreement in a principal amount equal to such unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations. Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of such deemed request and, without the necessity of compliance with the requirements of Sections 2.1 and 2.11, each Lender shall make available to Agent its Loan in the manner prescribed for Prime Rate Loans. The proceeds of such Loans shall be paid over by Agent to the Issuing Lender for the account of Borrowers in satisfaction of such unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations, which shall thereupon be deemed satisfied by the proceeds of, and replaced by, such Prime Rate Loan.

(iii) If the Issuing Lender makes a payment on account of any Letter of Credit and is not concurrently reimbursed therefore by Borrowers and if for any reason a Prime Rate Loan may not be made pursuant to Section 2.13(D)(ii), then as promptly as practical during normal banking hours on the date of its receipt of such notice or, if not practicable on such date, not later than noon (Chicago time) on the Business Day immediately succeeding such date of notification, each Lender shall deliver to Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, in immediately available funds, the purchase price for such Lender’s interest in such unreimbursed Reimbursement Obligations, which shall be an amount equal to such Lender’s pro-rata share of such payment. Each Lender shall, upon demand by the Issuing Lender, pay the Issuing Lender interest on such Lender’s pro-rata share of such draw from the date of payment by the Issuing Lender on account of such Letter of Credit until the date of delivery of such funds to the Issuing Lender by such Lender at a rate per annum, computed for actual days elapsed based on a 360-day year, equal to the federal funds rate for such period; provided that such payments shall be made by such Lender only in the event and to the extent that the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by Borrowers for interest on the amount of any draw on the Letters of Credit.

(iv) At any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment on account of any Letter of Credit and has received from any other Lender such Lender’s pro-rata share of such payment, the Issuing Lender shall, forthwith upon its receipt of any reimbursement (in whole or in part) by Borrowers for such payment, or of any other amount from Borrowers or any other Person in respect of such payment (including, without limitation, any payment of interest or penalty fees and any payment under any collateral account agreement of the Borrowers or any Ancillary Agreements executed pursuant hereto but excluding any transfer of funds from any other Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(D)(ii)),

transfer to such other Lender such other Lender’s ratable share of such reimbursement or other amount; provided that interest shall accrue for the benefit of such Lender from the time the Issuing Lender has made a payment on account of any Letter of Credit; provided further that, in the event that the receipt by the Issuing Lender of such reimbursement or other amount is found to have been a transfer in fraud of creditors or a preferential payment under the Bankruptcy Code or is otherwise required to be returned, such Lender shall promptly return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously transferred by the Issuing Lender to such Lender, but without interest to the extent that interest is not payable by the Issuing Lender in connection therewith.

(E) Procedure for Issuance. Prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, and as a condition of such issuance, including, without limitation any Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit or Post Termination Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall deliver to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to Agent) a Reimbursement Agreement signed by the Borrowers, together with such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the proposed form and content of such Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender. Except as provided in Section 2.13(B), each Letter of Credit shall be issued no earlier than two (2) Business Days after delivery of the foregoing documents, which delivery may be by Borrowers to the Issuing Lender by facsimile transmission, telex or other electronic means followed by delivery of executed originals within five days thereafter. The documents so delivered shall be in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 2.13(A) or Section 2.13(B), as the case may be, and shall specify therein (i) the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, (ii) the effective date of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire, (iv) the entity for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued, which shall be a Borrower, (v) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations which are outstanding and which will be outstanding after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit issuance and (vi) that the requested Letter of Credit is to be a Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit, if applicable. The delivery of the foregoing documents and information shall constitute an “Issuance Request” for purposes of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.13(A) or Section 2.13(B), as the case may be, and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.11 hereof have been satisfied, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrowers in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. In addition, any amendment of an existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance of a new Letter of Credit and shall be subject to the requirements set forth above. The Issuing Lender shall give Agent prompt written notice of the issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(F) Nature of Lenders’ Obligations.

(i) As between Borrowers and Lenders, Borrowers assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the

foregoing, Lenders shall not be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required to be satisfied by any Person other than the Issuing Lender in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit (other than a failure to satisfy documentary conditions to drawing where payment of the Letter of Credit despite such failure would constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender); (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, facsimile transmission, telex or otherwise; (v) the misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (vi) any consequences arising from causes beyond control of the Issuing Lender.

(ii) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth (including in Section 2.13(D)), any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to Borrowers or relieve Borrowers of any of its obligations hereunder to the Issuing Lender or any such Person.

(G) Compensation for Letters of Credit. Borrowers shall pay to Agent (for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, in arrears, a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum (the “Letter of Credit Fees”) equal to the Applicable Margin for Loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility per annum of the stated amount of each Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to Agent (for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders) any other processing, issuance, amendment or other similar fees customarily charged in connection with Letters of Credit, together with the Issuing Lender’s out-of-pocket costs of issuing and servicing letters of credit. All Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

3. PAYMENTS.

3.1 Making of Payments.

(A) All payments and prepayments of principal, or interest on, the Notes shall be made by Borrowers to Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the holders of the Notes pro rata according to the respective unpaid amounts of principal or interest, as the case may be, owed to such holders. All payments of non-use fees shall be

made by Borrowers to Agent for the account of Lenders pro rata according to their respective Percentages. All such payments shall be made to Agent at its office in Chicago, not later than 12:30 p.m. Chicago time, on the date due, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Agent on the next following Business Day. Agent shall, on the Business Day a payment is deemed to be received in collected funds by it, remit to each Lender or other holder of a Note its share of such payment.

(B) Unless Borrowers or a Lender, as the case may be, notify Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility or a Term Loan, or (ii) in the case of Borrowers, a payment of principal, interest or fees to Agent for the account of Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, Agent may assume that such payment has been made. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If Borrowers have not in fact made such payment to Agent, Lenders shall, on demand by Agent, repay to Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Agent until the date Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the federal funds rate for such day. If any Lender has not in fact made such payment to Agent (such a Lender herein called a “Non-Funding Lender”), such Non-Funding Lender or Borrowers shall, on demand by Agent, repay to Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Agent until the date Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Non-Funding Lender, an amount equal to $200 plus the federal funds effective rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Revolving Loan or Term Loan (it being understood and agreed that prior to making a request pursuant to this clause (ii) Agent will use its best efforts to request Lenders (other than a Non-Funding Lender) to reallocate such amount among Lenders (other than a Non-Funding Lender) subject to Sections 2.1(A) or (B), as applicable.

3.2 Payment Terms.

(A) General. All of the Liabilities shall be paid to Agent at the address set forth in Section 10.10. Subject to the remainder of this Section 3.2 and Section 8.2, the Liabilities will be payable as follows:

(i) accrued interest shall be payable in arrears on the applicable Interest Payment Date;

(ii) fees, costs, expenses and similar charges shall be payable as and when provided for in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements;

(iii) the then outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be payable in full on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; and

(iv) the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan shall be payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

Except as otherwise set forth herein (including, but not limited to Section 2.10 hereof), Borrowers may prepay all or any portion of the Loans upon notice from Borrowers to Agent at least one (1) day before the date of prepayment, without penalty or premium, at any time and from time to time; provided that all prepayments of principal shall include interest accrued to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid. After maturity (whether upon acceleration or otherwise) of any Liabilities, accrued interest on such Liabilities shall be payable upon demand.

(B) Scheduled Reductions of Term Loan. The Term Loan shall be payable in quarterly principal installments on the first Business Day of each of Borrowers’ fiscal quarters, commencing on the first such day occurring after the Closing such that the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan shall amortize in twenty (20) equal quarterly installments of principal. The quarterly payment amount shall be calculated by dividing the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan at Closing by 20. The principal amount of the Term Loan outstanding, and all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan, shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(C) Mandatory Prepayment. Borrowers shall not permit the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations plus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time to exceed the then current Availability. Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to make such payments to Agent on the Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility which are necessary to cure any such excess within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence thereof. To the extent that any payment made under the previous sentence is insufficient to cause the Letter of Credit Obligations to be equal to or less then the Availability, Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to immediately deposit with Agent an amount of cash equal to the entire Letter of Credit Obligation with respect to one or more Letters of Credit which are causing the deficiency (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to be Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit) in the Cash Collateral Account. To the extent that one or more Cash Collateralized Letter(s) of Credit expire (and are not drawn upon) and are not extended or are otherwise terminated without any continuing liability to Agent, the Issuing Lender or Lenders, which results in the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Obligations being equal to or less than the Availability as of such date, Agent shall refund the cash held in the Cash Collateral Account with respect to such Cash Collateralized Letter of Credit to the Borrowers within five (5) Business Days less any Letter of Credit Fees applicable thereto. In addition, following any such deposit of cash in the Cash Collateral Account, at any time and from time to time that the sum of

(i) the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility plus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit Obligations becomes equal to or less than the sum of (x) the Availability plus (y) the amount of cash held in the Cash Collateral Account as of such date, Agent shall refund to the Borrowers within (5) Business Days a sum of cash held in the Cash Collateral Account equal to such excess less any Letter of Credit Fees applicable thereto. No Lender shall be under an obligation to make Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility or to issue any Letter of Credit during the period that any such excess described in the first sentence of this Section 3.2(C) exists or would result from the making of an additional Loan under the Revolving Credit Facility or issuing an additional Letter of Credit.

3.3 Lockbox; Collection of Accounts and Payments.

(A) Lockbox. Borrowers shall maintain a special account as a lockbox in Borrowers’ name with Agent, upon such terms as are required by Agent, to which Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries will cause all Account Debtors to send all remittances on Accounts and all customers party to Buy Back Agreements to send all remittances related to any purchases by such customers pursuant to such Buy Back Agreements. If received directly by a Borrower or a Subsidiary, such Borrower or Subsidiary will immediately deposit in such special account all remittances and proceeds of the Collateral in the identical form in which such payment was made, whether by cash or check. Borrowers agree that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, all payments made to such special account or otherwise received by Agent, whether on the Accounts, on any Buy Back Agreement or as proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise, will be the sole and exclusive property of Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and will be applied on account of the Liabilities. So long as no Default or an Event of Default has shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall be entitled to direct the use of the funds maintained in such special account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Two (2) Business Days after Agent’s receipt of good funds, Agent will credit (conditional upon final collection) all payments received through the special account to the Liabilities. Each Borrower, its Subsidiaries and any Affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries and all Persons acting for or in concert with such Borrower shall, acting as trustee for Agent, receive, as the sole and exclusive property of Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payments relating to or proceeds of Accounts, Buy Back Agreements or other Collateral which come into their possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt, shall remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Agent, at Agent’s address set forth in Section 10.10.

(B) Limitation of Liability.

(i) Agent shall have no liability to Borrowers other than that imposed upon it by law for its failure to exercise ordinary care with respect to the lockbox established hereunder. Establishment of and substantial compliance with the procedures set forth herein or in other documents related to the lockbox by Agent shall be deemed to constitute the exercise of ordinary care. A mere inadvertence or honest mistake of judgment will not constitute a failure to exercise ordinary care, and in no case will be deemed wrongful. Agent shall not be liable for consequential, indirect or special damages, even if it has been advised of the possibility that they exist. Agent shall have no liability for mail not bearing a complete and proper address.

(ii) Agent shall not be liable for failure to perform any services under this Agreement within the time provided therefore in the event and to the extent that such failure arises out of war, civil commotion, an act of God, accident, interruption of power supplies or other utility or service, strikes or lockouts, delay in transportation, legislative action, government regulations or interferences, or any other event beyond Agent’s control.

(iii) In the event Agent becomes involved in controversies or litigation with any third party or parties involving or relating to the services provided for herein to Borrowers, Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify Agent against any claims, costs, damages and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by or asserted against Agent to or by such third party or parties, excluding claims, costs, damages and liabilities resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

3.4 Application of Payments and Collections. Subject to the rights of the Borrowers to direct funds under Section 3.3(A), Borrowers irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of payments and collections received by Agent and/or any Lender from or on behalf of Borrowers, and Borrowers agree that Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections against the Liabilities in such manner as Agent may deem appropriate, notwithstanding any entry by Agent upon any of its books and records. To the extent that Borrowers make a payment or payments to Agent or Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrowers’ benefit, which payment(s) or proceeds are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Liabilities intended to be satisfied shall be revived and shall continue in full force and effect, as if such payments or proceeds had not been received by Agent. Interest shall be payable out of the first collections received with respect to any proceeds of Collateral.

3.5 Records. All advances to Borrowers, and all other debits and credits provided for in this Agreement, shall be evidenced by entries made by Agent in its internal data control systems showing the date, amount and reason for each such debit or credit.

Third, if any balance remains after the Liabilities have been paid in full, to Borrowers.

Each Lender shall apply any payment so received from Agent,

First, to unpaid accrued interest, if any, on its Liabilities until paid in full;

Second, to the unpaid premium, if any, on its Liabilities;

Third, to the unpaid principal of its Liabilities until paid in full; and

If for any reason payments to Agent in the preceding sentence shall be determined by Agent to be improper or not advisable, then such Lender shall purchase from each Lender receiving less than its pro rata share, such participation in its Liabilities as shall be necessary for such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment received pro rata with such other Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment be thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery, but without interest or premium; and, provided further that the nonperformance by any Lender of its obligation under this Section 8.8 shall not excuse any other Lender hereunder.

Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders and, if it so requests, confirmation from Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (unless the consent of all Lenders is required in such case, in which case unanimous consent of Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 2.11 or in any comparable provision of any amendment hereto, each Lender that has executed this Agreement or such amendment shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by an Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lender.

9.5 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required

Lenders in accordance with Section 8; provided that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.

9.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrowers which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

9.7 Indemnification. Lenders shall indemnify upon demand any Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to Agent or any Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees of attorneys for Agent) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, 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 other Ancillary Agreement, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. To the extent that Agent or any Agent-Related Person shall thereafter be reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers for any amount paid by the Banks pursuant to this Section 9.7, such Person shall reimburse each Lender for its ratable share of any such amount. The undertaking in this Section 9.7 shall survive the expiration or termination of the Commitments and payment of the Loans and other liabilities of Borrowers hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent. For the purposes of this Section 9.7,

“Indemnified Liabilities” shall mean: any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees of attorneys for Agent) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Agent Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Agent Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including (i) any case, action or proceeding before any court or other governmental authority relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, dissolution, winding-up or relief of debtors or (ii) any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition, marshaling of assets for creditors, or other, similar arrangement in respect of its creditors generally or any substantial portion of its creditors; undertaken under U.S. Federal, state or foreign law, including the Bankruptcy Code or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Agent-Related Person, any Lender or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact is a party thereto.

9.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. LaSalle and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue Letters of Credit for the account of, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though it were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such Subsidiaries) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans, Agent and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though such Agent were not an Agent, and the terms Lender and Lenders include Agent and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.

9.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as an Agent upon 30 days’ notice to Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with the prior written consent of Borrowers, appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and with the prior written consent of Borrowers, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term Agent shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as an Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as an Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless

thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of an Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

10. MISCELLANEOUS.

10.1 Appointment of Agent as Each Borrower’s Lawful Attorney-In-Fact. Each Borrower irrevocably designates, makes, constitutes and appoints Agent (and all persons designated by Agent) as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact and Agent, or Agent’s agent, may, without notice to such Borrower:

(A) At any time after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, endorse by writing or stamp each Borrower’s name on any checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of the Collateral which come into the possession of Agent or under Agent’s control and deposit the same to the account of Agent for application to the Liabilities;

(B) At any time after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in each Borrower’s or Agent’s name: (i) demand payment of the Collateral; (ii) enforce payment of the Collateral, by legal proceedings or otherwise; (iii) exercise all of each Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Collateral; (iv) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Accounts and the Special Collateral; (v) settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect the Collateral; (vi) if permitted by applicable law, sell or assign the Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as Agent deems advisable; (vii) satisfy and release the Accounts and Special Collateral; (viii) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or proceeds referred to in Section 3.3; (ix) prepare, file and sign each Borrower’s name on any proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor; (x) prepare, file and sign each Borrower’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Collateral; (xi) do all acts and things necessary, in Agent’s sole discretion, to fulfill each Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement; (xii) endorse by writing or stamp the name of each Borrower upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice, freight xxxx, xxxx of lading or similar document or agreement relating to the Collateral; and (xiii) use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral to which each Borrower has access; and

(C) At any time after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, notify the post office authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrower’s mail to an address designated by Agent and receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to each Borrower.

10.2 Modification of Agreement; Sale of Notes; Participations. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and

delivered by Lenders having an aggregate Percentage of not less than the aggregate Percentage expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, by the Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall extend or increase the amount of the Commitments, extend the final maturity of the Notes, reduce the principal thereof, reduce the fees hereunder or the rate of interest payable with respect to the Notes (other than pursuant to Section 2.1), reduce the aggregate Percentage required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent, reduce the amount of or extend the date for the mandatory payments on the Notes, modify the definition of Borrowing Base, amend this Section 10.2 or permit any assignment by Borrowers of their obligations or rights hereunder or amend any covenants contained in Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3, without the consent of the Required Lenders in each instance. No provision of this Agreement relating to Agent shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Agent. No provision of Section 2.13 shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Issuing Lender. No Borrower may sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, including, without limitation, such Borrower’s right, title, interest, remedies, powers, or duties. Each Borrower consents to any Lender’s participation, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, at any time or times, of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, including, without limitation, such Lender’s right, title, interest, remedies, powers, or duties. Each Borrower consents to any Lender’s pledge of its rights under this Agreement, any Note issued hereunder or any Ancillary Agreement to the Federal Reserve Bank. Any Lender shall have the right to sell, assign or transfer all or part of any Note to one or more banks or other financial institutions, or to grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions, in or to any Loan hereunder and any Note held by such Lender upon three (3) days prior written notice to Borrowers (and if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with the prior written consent of Borrowers) and Agent together with, in the case of assignments only, execution and delivery to Agent and the Borrowers of an Assignment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit P hereto (“Assignment Agreement”) and payment of a $5,000 fee to Agent for processing such assignment. Borrowers hereby consent to the disclosure of any information obtained by Agent or any Lender in connection herewith to any bank or other financial institution to which any Lender now or hereafter has sold, assigned or transferred, or sold or proposed to sell, assign or transfer, all or any part of any Note or any participation interest in any Loan or Note. Upon the sale, transfer or assignment of all or a portion of any Note pursuant to one or more Assignment Agreements, Borrowers shall, upon the request of the assigning Lender, execute a new note or notes in a form substantially similar to the Note or Notes so replaced. Each such transferee shall be deemed to be a Lender under this Agreement. Each transferee of any Note shall take such Note subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken hereunder prior to the receipt by Agent and Borrowers of written notice of such transfer. Each Lender represents that it is the present intention of such Lender to acquire each Note drawn to its order for its own account and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, subject, nevertheless, to the necessity that such Lender remain in control at all times of the disposition of property held by it for its own account; it being understood that the

foregoing representation shall not affect the character of the Loans as commercial lending transactions.

10.3 Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses; Agent and Each Lender’s Out-of-Pocket Expenses. If, at any time or times, whether prior or subsequent to the date of this Agreement and regardless of the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, Agent and each Lender incurs reasonable legal or other costs and expenses or employs counsel, accountants or other professionals for advice or other representation or services in connection with:

(A) The preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, all Ancillary Agreements, any amendment of or modification of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements;

(B) Any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by Agent, any Lender, a Borrower or any other Person) in any way relating to the Collateral, this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or Borrowers’ affairs;

(C) Any attempt to enforce any rights of Agent or any Lender against a Borrower or any other Person which may be obligated to Agent or such Lender by virtue of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, including, without limitation, the Account Debtors;

(D) Any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral; or

(E) Any inspection, verification, protection, collection, sale, liquidation or other disposition of any of the Collateral, including without limitation, Agent’s periodic field audits and audits of a Borrower’s books and records;

then, in any such event, the reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses arising from such services and all reasonably incurred expenses, costs, charges and other fees of or paid by Agent (or any Lender after the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default) in any way or respect arising in connection with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 10.3 shall be payable by Borrowers, jointly and severally, to Agent (or any Lender after the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default) upon demand and shall be additional Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees may include accountants’ fees, costs and expenses; court costs, fees and expenses; photocopying and duplicating expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; courier charges; telegram and telecopy charges.

10.4 No Offset; Right to Charge Accounts. All payments due to Agent or any Lender shall be made in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. At Agent’s or any Lender’s sole discretion, Agent or such Lender may charge against any demand account of a Borrower all or any part of the Liabilities which are due and payable.

10.5 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

10.6 Parties; Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each Borrower, Agent and each Lender. Each Borrower’s successors and assigns shall include, without limitation, a trustee, receiver or debtor-in-possession of or for such Borrower. Nothing contained in this Section 10.6 shall be deemed to modify Section 10.2. This Agreement is the complete statement of the agreement by and among Borrowers, Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings and representations between them with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

10.7 Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Ancillary Agreements are incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and except as otherwise provided in the Ancillary Agreement, by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any Ancillary Agreement, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

10.8 Waiver by Borrowers. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, each Borrower waives (i) presentment, demand and protest, notice of protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent or any Lender on which such Borrower may in any way be liable and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent or such Lender may do in this regard; (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent’s or any Lender’s taking possession or control of, or Agent’s or any Lender’s replevy, attachment or levy upon the Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent or any Lender to exercise any of Agent’s or any Lender’s remedies; and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement, extension and exemption laws. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by its own counsel with respect to this Agreement and the transactions evidenced by this Agreement.

10.9 Waiver and Governing Law. THE LOANS EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE BEEN MADE, AND THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN DELIVERED, AT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. EACH BORROWER (i) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS; (ii) IRREVOCABLY

SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN XXXX COUNTY, ILLINOIS, OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS; (iii) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT SUCH BORROWER MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING; (iv) AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW; AND (v) AGREES NOT TO INSTITUTE ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF AGENT’S OR LENDER’S DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR PROPERTY, CONCERNING ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS IN ANY COURT OTHER THAN ONE LOCATED IN XXXX COUNTY, ILLINOIS. EACH BORROWER WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY MATTER ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.10.

10.11 Section Titles, Etc. The section titles and table of contents, if any, contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto. All Exhibits and Schedules which are referred to herein or attached hereto are incorporated by reference.

10.12 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall execute therefor a new Note with the same principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions. If there shall be delivered to the Borrowers (a) evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold the Borrowers and any agent of the Borrowers harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Borrowers that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note or in exchange for such Note, a new Note with the same principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions. Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 10.12, the Borrowers may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. Every new Note, issued pursuant to this Section 10.12 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Borrowers, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement.

11. CROSS-GUARANTY.

11.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Liabilities owed or hereafter owing to Agent and each Lender by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 11 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Liabilities has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 11 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by, the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Ancillary Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party; the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 11) or any other Ancillary Agreement or the waiver or consent by Agent and each Lender with respect to any of the provisions thereof; the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Liabilities or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent and each Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any such security); the insolvency of any Borrower; or any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Liabilities guaranteed hereunder.

11.2 Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent or any Lender to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Liabilities guaranteed hereunder, against any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Liabilities before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and each Lender that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and that, but for the provisions of this Section 11.2 and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

11.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 11.3 are for the benefit of Agent and each Lender and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Agent or any Lender, the obligations of such other Borrower under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

11.4 Subordination of Subrogation, Etc.. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, and except as set forth in Section 11.7, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Liabilities any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Liabilities are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Agent and each Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 11, and that Agent, each Lender and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 11.4.

11.5 Election of Remedies. If Agent or any Bank may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement giving Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 11. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Liabilities. In the event Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreements, Agent or such Lender may bid all or less than the

amount of the Liabilities and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent or such Lender but shall be credited against the Liabilities. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent, such Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Liabilities shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Liabilities guaranteed under this Section 11, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

11.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 11 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable under Section 2) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of: (i) the net amount of all Loans advanced to any other Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower; and (ii) the amount that could be claimed by Agent and Lenders from such Borrower under this Section 11 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 11.7.

11.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 11 of all or any of the Liabilities (other than Loans made directly to that Borrower) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that exceeds the amount such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Liabilities satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Liabilities and termination of the Commitments) such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 11 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. This Section 11.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 11.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including this Section 11.7. Nothing contained in this Section 11.7 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and

indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Borrower under this Section 11.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Liabilities and the termination of the Commitments.

11.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this Section 11 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Agent and each Lender under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Liabilities or obligation of the other Borrowers, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
