Each Borrower consents to any such increases or decreases (to the extent such increase or decrease was made in the Agent’s Permitted Discretion) and acknowledges that decreasing the Advance Rates and the Inventory Sublimit, or increasing the reserves may limit or restrict Advances requested by the Borrowing Agent.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Revolving Advances may be Alternate Base Rate Loans or Libor Rate Loans, and, in the case of Libor Rate Loans, denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency; provided, however, that (i) all Revolving Advances made as part of the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist of Revolving Advances of the same Type and currency, (ii) Foreign Borrowers may borrow Revolving Advances denominated only in an Alternative Currency, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency shall not exceed at any time outstanding the Alternative Currency Sublimit, (iv) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Advances made to the Foreign Borrowers plus the Letter of Credit UK Exposure shall not exceed the Foreign Borrower Sublimit, and (v) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving UK Advances plus the Letter of Credit UK Exposure shall not exceed the UK Borrower Sublimit.

2.2 Requests For Revolving Advances.

(a) Requests for Revolving Borrowings shall be given by the Borrowing Agent to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m: (i) on the Business Day which is the requested date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans, (ii) on the Business Day which is three (3) Business Days before the requested date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Libor Rate Loans denominated in Dollars, and (iii) on the Business Day which is five (5) Business Days before the requested date of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Libor Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency. Each such request (a “Revolving Advance Request”) for Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be transmitted to the Agent by an Approved Electronic Communication (or if requested by the Agent, only by a request posted to the Agent’s StuckyNet System). Each Revolving Advance Request for Libor Rate Loans shall be transmitted to the Agent by the Borrowing Agent in a written or telephonic notice (in the case of a telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if requested by the Agent). Each written Revolving Advance Request for Libor Rate Loans or written confirmation shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, executed or otherwise acceptably authenticated by the Borrowing Agent and transmitted to the Agent in accordance with Section 15.8. Each Revolving Advance Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers and be subject to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. Each Revolving Advance Request shall specify the following information:

(i) the date of the proposed Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(ii) the amount of the proposed Borrowing;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans or Libor Rate Loans;

(iv) in the case of a proposed Borrowing of Libor Rate Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period; and

(v) in the case of a proposed Borrowing of Libor Rate Loans, whether the Libor Rate Loans are to be denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency.

If any such Revolving Advance Request requests a Borrowing consisting of Libor Rate Loans but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. No Libor Rate Loan shall be made available to the Borrowers during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default other than Libor Rate Loans in an Alternative Currency having an Interest Period of one (1) month.

(b) Revolving Advances shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Advances made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the Revolving Percentage of each Lender. Revolving Advances shall be comprised of one or more Revolving Borrowings as the Borrowers may elect from time to time by delivery to the Agent by the Borrowing Agent of a Revolving Advance Request or an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Agreement. Each Revolving Borrowing comprised of Libor Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (or the substantial equivalent thereof in an Alternative Currency) or an integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (or the substantial equivalent thereof in an Alternative Currency) in excess thereof. No minimum advance amounts shall apply to Revolving Borrowings comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans.

(c) Each Lender’s Revolving Advances to the Borrowers shall be evidenced at all times by a Revolving Note substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B which shall: (i) be executed and delivered by the Borrowers and payable to the order of such Lender and (ii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Revolving Commitment of such Lender and payable for the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Advances evidenced thereby, (iii) mature on the Facility Termination Date, (iv) bear interest as provided in this Agreement, (v) be subject to optional and mandatory prepayment as provided in this Agreement, and (vi) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents.

(d) The Borrowers shall be deemed to have made a request for a Revolving Borrowing (a “Deemed Credit Request”), which Deemed Credit Request shall be irrevocable upon any interest, principal, fee or other Obligation of the Borrowers (including Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations) hereunder becoming due, for (i) to the extent such Revolving Borrowing is made in Dollars, a Revolving Borrowing comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay such interest, principal fee or Obligation and (ii) to the extent such Revolving Borrowing is made in an Alternative Currency, a Revolving Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month in an amount necessary to pay such interest, principal fee or Obligation. Each Lender agrees that its obligation to make or participate in Revolving Advances pursuant to a Deemed Credit Request is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default or the failure of any condition precedent.

(e) In the case of a Revolving Advance Request with respect to a proposed Revolving Borrowing comprised of Libor Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, the obligation of each Lender to make its Libor Rate Loan in Alternative Currency as part of such Revolving Borrowing is subject to the confirmation by the Agent to the Borrower Agent not later than the fourth Business Day before the requested date of such Borrowing that the requested Alternative Currency is readily and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars.

(f) If the Agent has not provided the confirmation referred to in clause (e) above, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and each Lender, whereupon the Borrowing Agent shall, by notice to the Agent not later than the third Business Day before the requested date of such Borrowing, withdraw the Revolving Advance Request relating to such requested Borrowing. If the Borrowing Agent does so withdraw such Revolving Advance Request, the Borrowing requested in such Revolving Advance Request shall not occur and the Agent shall promptly so notify each Lender. If the Borrowing Agent does not so withdraw such

Revolving Advance Request, the Agent shall promptly so notify each Lender and such Revolving Advance Request shall be deemed to be a Revolving Advance Request which requests a Revolving Borrowing comprised of Libor Rate Loans in an aggregate amount in Dollars equivalent, on the date the Agent so notifies each Lender, to the amount of the originally requested Revolving Borrowing in the Alternative Currency; and in such notice by the Agent to each Lender the Agent shall state such aggregate equivalent amount of such Revolving Borrowing in Dollars and such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.

2.3 Interest Elections; Conversions of Advances.

(a) All Revolving Advances made on the Closing Date shall consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans. After the Closing Date, and, with respect to Revolving Advances, the Borrowing Agent may elect to convert any Revolving Borrowing to a different Type or to continue any such Borrowing and, in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Libor Rate Loans, may elect Interest Periods therefor, as provided in this Section 2.3. The Borrowing Agent may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Advances comprising such Borrowing, and the Advances comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. The Borrowers shall not be entitled to have outstanding in the aggregate at one time more than nine (9) Borrowings of Revolving Advances consisting of Libor Rate Loans. This Section 2.3 shall not apply to Revolving Advances made under Section 15.4, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Borrowing Agent shall notify the Agent of such election in a written or telephonic notice (in the case of a telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing if requested by the Agent) (each, an “Interest Election Request”) by the time that a Revolving Advance Request would be required under Section 2.2(a) if the Borrowing Agent were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowing Agent and be subject to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans or Libor Rate Loans;

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to consist of Libor Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election.

If any such Interest Election Request relates to a Borrowing consisting of Libor Rate Loans denominated in either Dollars or an Alternative Currency, but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration in Dollars or such Alternative Currency, as applicable.

If the Borrowing Agent fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Revolving Borrowing consisting of Libor Rate Loans denominated in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Revolving Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowing Agent fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Borrowing consisting of Libor Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Borrowing consisting of Libor Rate Loans denominated in such Alternative Currency for an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration.

2.4 Disbursement of Proceeds of Advances.

All amounts shall be made available by each of the Lenders to the Agent in Dollars or the applicable Alternative Currency and immediately available funds at the Payment Office. The Agent shall then make all Advances available to the Borrowing Agent by disbursing such Advances from whichever office or other place the Agent may designate from time to time and, such Advances, together with any and all other Obligations of the Borrowers, shall be charged to the Loan Account on the Agent’s books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by the Borrowing Agent under Section 2.2 or deemed to have been requested by the Borrowers under Section 2.2(d) shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances to any Domestic Borrower, be made available to the Domestic Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to an operating account of the Borrowing Agent or a Domestic Borrower at National City Bank as the Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to the Agent, in immediately available funds, (ii) with respect to requested Revolving Advances to any UK Borrower, be made available to the UK Borrower on the day so requested by way of a wire transfer to any operating account of the UK Borrower at such other bank as may be designated in writing to the Agent, and (iii) with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by the Borrowers, be disbursed to the Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.

2.5 Repayment of Advances.

(a) The Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in full on the Facility Termination Date subject to earlier prepayment as provided in Section 2.7 and the application of payments from Account Debtors as provided in this Section. 2.5(a). Reimbursements of drawings on Letters of Credit shall be made as provided in Section 2.9(f). The Borrowers shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any Other Loan Document, without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrowers on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances shall be applied according to the applicable Percentage of the Lenders.

(c) Any payment by an Account Debtor with respect to a Receivable which is evidenced by a check, note, draft or any other similar item of payment may not be immediately collectible. In calculating outstanding Revolving Advances and Undrawn Availability, the Agent agrees that any such item of payment will be deemed to have been received by the Agent and will be provisionally credited (even though not evidenced by collected funds) to the Loan Account by the Agent on the Business Day on which the Agent has actual possession of such item of payment for deposit to any of the Cash Concentration Accounts. With respect to such calculation of outstanding Revolving Advances and Undrawn Availability, the Agent also agrees that any payment from an Account Debtor consisting of a federal wire transfer pursuant to the

United States Treasury Fedwire Deposit System, an automatic clearing house credit or other similar payment mechanism will be deemed to have been received by the Agent and will be credited to the Loan Account by the Agent on the Business Day on which the Agent has received such payment prior to 11:00 a.m. in immediately available funds for deposit to any of the Cash Concentration Accounts. In consideration of the Agent’s agreement for provisional crediting of items of payment, each Borrower agrees that, in calculating interest and other charges on the Obligations, all payments from Account Debtors will be treated as having been credited to the Loan Account on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which such payments are deemed to have been received by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.5(c), other than payments in the form of federal wire transfers pursuant to the United States Treasury Fedwire Deposit System and automatic clearing house credits will be treated as having been credited to the Loan Account on the Business Day on which such payments are deemed to have been received by the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.5(c).

(d) The Agent shall not be required to credit the Loan Account for the amount of any item of payment or other payment which is unsatisfactory to the Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. All credits (other than federal wire transfers) shall be provisional, subject to verification and final settlement. The Agent may charge the Loan Account for the amount of any item of payment or other payment which is returned to the Agent unpaid or otherwise not collected. Each Borrower agrees that any information and data reported to the Borrowers pursuant to any service which is received prior to final posting and confirmation is subject to correction and is not to be construed as final posting information. The Agent and the Lenders shall have no liability for the content of such preliminary service related information.

(e) Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) of principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Loan Documents, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim to the Agent at the Payment Office not later than 11:00 a.m. on the due date in federal funds or other funds to the Agent and in lawful money of the United States of America (in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars) or in the applicable Alternative Currency (in the case of Advances denominated in Alternative Currency) ).

2.6 Increase in Revolving Commitments.

(a) The Borrowing Agent may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request that the Revolving Commitments be increased by an amount not to exceed the Incremental Revolving Advance Amount at such time. Upon the approval of such request by the Agent (which approval shall be in the Agent’s Permitted Discretion), the Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to each Lender with a Revolving Commitment. Such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments (which shall be in minimum aggregate increments of $5,000,000 and a minimum aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Revolving Advance Amount) and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice and which, in any event, must be on or prior to the termination of the Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and shall offer each such Lender the opportunity to increase its Revolving Commitment by its Revolving Percentage of the proposed increased amount. Each such Lender shall, by notice to the Borrowing Agent and the Agent given not more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of the Agent’s notice, either agree to increase its Revolving Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount (each such Lender so agreeing being an “Increasing Revolving Lender”) or decline to increase its Revolving Commitment (and any such Lender that does not deliver such a notice within such period of ten (10) Business Days shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment), each Lender so declining or being deemed to have declined being a “Non-Increasing Revolving Lender”). In the event that, on the tenth

(10th) Business Day after the day the Agent has delivered a notice pursuant to the second sentence of this paragraph, the Increasing Revolving Lenders have agreed pursuant to the preceding sentence to increase their Revolving Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments requested by the Borrowing Agent, the Borrowing Agent may arrange for one or more banks or other entities (any such bank or other entity referred to in this clause being an “Augmenting Revolving Lender”), which may include any Lender, to extend Revolving Commitments or increase their existing Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided that each Augmenting Revolving Lender, if not already a Lender with a Revolving Commitment hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which approval shall be in the Agent’s Permitted Discretion) and the Borrowing Agent, and each Augmenting Revolving Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence its Revolving Commitment and/or its status as a Lender with a Revolving Commitment hereunder. Any increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments may be made in an amount which is less than the increase requested by the Borrowing Agent if the Borrowing Agent is unable to arrange for, or chooses not to arrange for, Augmenting Revolving Lenders.

(b) Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Agent may take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6, the outstanding Revolving Advances (if any) are held by the Lenders with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their new Revolving Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Agent (w) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Advances to be prepaid with the proceeds of new Revolving Advances, (x) by causing Non-Increasing Revolving Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Advances to Increasing Revolving Lenders and Augmenting Revolving Lenders, (y) by permitting the Revolving Advances outstanding at the time of any increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.6 to remain outstanding until the last days of the respective Interest Periods therefor, even though the Lenders would hold such Revolving Advances other than in accordance with their new Revolving Percentages, or (z) by any combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this Section 2.6(b) shall be subject to Section 3.10 hereof but otherwise without premium or penalty.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments (or in the Revolving Commitment of any Lender) or addition of a new Lender shall become effective under this Section 2.6 unless, (i) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 shall be satisfied and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a responsible financial officer of the Parent, (ii) the Parent shall have provided to the Agent and the Lenders an officer’s certificate, signed by an authorized officer of the Parent, and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, certifying that all of the Obligations (including any increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments) constitute and will continue to be permitted under any material agreement of the Loan Parties, and (iii) the Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments) legal opinions, board resolutions and an officer’s certificate consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Sections 8.1(f), 8.1(g), 8.1(h),8.1(i), 8.1(j), 8.1(l) and 8.1(bb).

2.7 Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments; Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.10, at their option and upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, the Borrowers may prepay the Advances in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty, but with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such prepayment. The Borrowing Agent shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are Libor Rate Loans and the amount of such

prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a Libor Rate Loan is made on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 3.10.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.8, if, on any Business Day, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Advances then outstanding exceeds the lesser of: (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount minus the Letter of Credit Exposure or (ii) the Aggregate Formula Amount, the Borrowers shall on such day prepay to the Agent an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, which amount shall be used to prepay Revolving Advances ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Percentage. If, on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances denominated in Alternative Currency plus the Letter of Credit Exposure denominated in Alternative Currency exceeds the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Borrowers shall on such day prepay to the Agent an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, which amount shall be used to prepay Revolving Advances denominated in Alternative Currency ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Percentage. If, on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Advances made to Foreign Borrowers plus the Letter of Credit Exposure attributable to the Foreign Borrowers exceeds the Foreign Borrower Sublimit, the Borrowers shall on such day prepay to the Agent an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, which amount shall be used to prepay Revolving Advances to Foreign Borrowers ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Percentage. If, on any Business Day, (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving UK Advances plus the Letter of Credit UK Exposure exceeds (ii) the UK Borrower Sublimit, the Borrowers shall on such day prepay to the Agent an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, which amount shall be used to prepay Revolving UK Advances ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Revolving Percentage.

(c) So long as any Revolving Advances are outstanding, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent any Net Proceeds received by a Loan Party promptly upon receipt thereof and the Agent shall apply such Net Proceeds to the Obligations outstanding at the time of such receipt in such order as the Agent may determine; provided, however, that: (i) the Net Proceeds of any UK Assets and any other Net Proceeds attributable or relating to a UK Borrower shall not be applied to any Obligations other than the Obligations of the UK Borrowers described in clause (i) of Section 1.8, (ii) no such payment to the Agent of any Net Proceeds from the disposition of Specified Fixed Asset Collateral consisting of equity interests in any Subsidiaries or joint ventures or the assets of any Foreign Subsidiaries other than the UK Borrowers) pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be required, (iii) no such payment to the Agent of any Net Proceeds from the disposition of, or from a Material Recovery Event with respect to, Specified Fixed Asset Collateral (other than Specified Fixed Asset Collateral consisting of equity interests in any Subsidiaries or joint ventures or the assets of any Foreign Subsidiaries other than the UK Borrowers) pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be required so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) no such payment to the Agent of any Net Proceeds from the disposition of, or from a Material Recovery Event with respect to, Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be required so long as no Activation Notice has been delivered to the Borrowing Agent, (v) nothing in this Section 2.7 or in the definition of “Net Proceeds” shall constitute authorization not otherwise permitted by this Agreement for any Loan Party to enter into any transaction that would generate Net Proceeds and (vi) no prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be required with respect to any Net Proceeds of Collateral from a Material Recovery Event while such Net Proceeds are available for reinvestment as permitted by Section 4.19. For the avoidance of doubt, any cash proceeds from a casualty loss, compulsory transfer or non-appealable judgment not constituting Net Proceeds of Collateral from a Material Recovery Event by reason of being in an amount less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) from any individual event giving rise thereto, shall be applied by the Agent to principal Revolving Advances then outstanding in accordance with Section 4.14(h) only in the event that an Activation Notice has been delivered to the Borrowing Agent. In addition, to the extent any

portion of the Net Proceeds remains after the application of Net Proceeds to outstanding Revolving Advances as required under this Section 2.7(c), such remaining Net Proceeds shall be released to the Borrowing Agent.

(d) Each prepayment applied to Revolving Advances pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall not constitute a permanent reduction of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount and the amount of outstanding Revolving Advances so prepaid may be reborrowed. Any prepayment under this Section 2.7 shall be subject to Section 3.10; provided, however, the Agent will use reasonable efforts to avoid an application of Net Proceeds which causes early prepayment of a Borrowing of Libor Rate Loans prior to the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loans.

(e) Upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice from the Borrowing Agent to the Agent, the Borrowers may request that the Lenders permanently reduce, in whole or in part, the aggregate Revolving Commitments, whereupon the aggregate Revolving Commitments shall be so reduced. Each reduction in the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder shall be made among the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments. Each reduction shall be subject to the following: (i) each such reduction shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or a multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrowers shall not be permitted to reduce the aggregate Revolving Commitments unless, concurrently with any reduction, one or more of the Borrowers shall make principal payments, ratable among the Lenders, on each Lender’s then outstanding Revolving Advances to the Borrowers in an amount which, when aggregated with such ratable payment to the Lenders by the other Borrowers, will result in the aggregate Revolving Credit Advances of the Lenders to the Borrowers outstanding after such payments, when taken together with the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure then outstanding, not exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments. On the date of each such reduction, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders (A) the unused facility fees referenced in Section 3.5 and interest referenced in Section 3.1, in each case accrued through the date of such reduction in respect of the aggregate Revolving Commitment of the Lenders so reduced and (B) any amounts required pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.10. Each reduction in the Revolving Commitments hereunder, if any, shall be a permanent reduction and no amount in excess of such reduced commitment may be borrowed or reborrowed.

2.8 Statement of Account.

The Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account (“Loan Account”) in the name of the Borrowers in which shall be recorded, among other things, the date and amount of each Advance made by the Lenders, each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by the Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance or Letter of Credit shall not adversely affect the Agent or any Lender. Each calendar month, the Agent shall send to the Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made and Letters of Credit issued, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between the Agent and the Borrowers, during such month, and the Agent shall provide the Borrowing Agent with access to Agent’s global GIR and StuckyNet System as relating to the Borrowers. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between the Lenders and the Borrowers unless the Agent receives a written statement from the Borrowing Agent of the Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by the Borrowing Agent. The records of the Agent with respect to the Loan Account shall be presumed correct evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances, Letters of Credit and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

Any sums expended by the Agent or any Lender due to the Borrowers’ failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Loan Document including payments made in connection with the Borrowers’ obligations under Sections 2.5, 3.13, 4.2, 4.4, 4.12, 4.13, 6.1 and 15.12 may be charged to the Loan Account as a Revolving Advance to the Borrowers and shall thereafter be Obligations hereunder.

2.9 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuer shall issue or cause the issuance of certain Letters of Credit on behalf of any Domestic Borrower or UK Borrower denominated and payable in Dollars or an Alternative Currency in such form as may be approved by the Issuer and the Agent; provided, however, that the Issuer will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the face amount of such Letters of Credit would cause the then outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the lesser of (A) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount minus the sum of the Letter of Credit Exposure or (B) the Aggregate Formula Amount. The Letter of Credit Exposure shall not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)) at any time. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Alternate Base Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate, unless and until converted to Libor Rate Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 2.3. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest.

(b) Schedule 2.9 contains a description of all Existing Letters of Credit. All such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” hereunder for all purposes hereof and shall be deemed to have been issued, for purposes of Section 3.4 hereof, as of the Closing Date. From and after the Closing Date, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to such Existing Letters of Credit, superseding any other agreement otherwise applicable to them to the extent inconsistent with the terms hereof.

(c) The Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Domestic Borrower or UK Borrower, may request the Issuer to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuer at the Payment Office, the Issuer’s form of letter of credit application (a “Letter of Credit Application”) completed to the satisfaction of the Issuer, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuer may reasonably request no later than 12:00 noon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior to the date of such proposed issuance. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of the request by the Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder within a reasonable time after receiving such request.

(d) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other forms of written demand for payment, or acceptances of, issued drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than the earlier of one (1) year from the date of issuance or the Facility Termination Date. Each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the Issuer (the “UCP”). Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject to the International Standby Practices (1998), International Chamber of Commerce Publication 590 and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the Issuer (the “ISP”) or the UCP, as determined by the Issuer. Each Letter of Credit shall be governed, to the extent not inconsistent with the UCP or the ISP, as applicable, by the laws of the State of Ohio.

(e) Effective as of the date of its issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuer grants to each Lender, and each Lender acquires, an undivided participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Letter of Credit’s face amount.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to pay for such acquisition pursuant to this Section 2.9(e) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any event or circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or the failure of any condition precedent in this Agreement to be satisfied and each payment in satisfaction thereof shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be excused from liability to any Lender for any direct damages caused by the Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(f) Whenever there is a drawing on a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers agree to pay the Agent on the date of such drawing for the account of the Issuer an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, with such payment to be made in Dollars (and in the amount which is the Dollar equivalent of any such payment or disbursement made or denominated in an Alternative Currency). Should the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuer for the amount of such drawing, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans to be made by the Lenders to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.2 in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such drawing (with the Agent’s having determined in the case of any payment by the Issuer made in an Alternative Currency the equivalent thereof in Dollars), without regard to any minimums and multiples for lending amounts specified hereunder. Each Lender agrees that its obligation to make any such Revolving Advance is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default hereunder (except for an Event of Default arising under Section 10.7 or Section 10.8), and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. The Agent shall disburse the proceeds of such disbursement directly to the Issuer and such disbursement shall satisfy the Borrowers’ reimbursement obligation.

(g) In the event that the Revolving Advances requested pursuant to Section 2.2(a) cannot be made because of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under Section 10.7 or Section 10.8, each Lender shall be obligated to consummate the purchase, on the date its Revolving Advance would have been made pursuant to this Section 2.9(g), of its undivided participating interest in each outstanding unpaid reimbursement obligation (the “Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation”) owing to the Issuer. On the purchase date, each such Lender shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuer, the purchase price for its participating interest in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.9(g) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.10 with respect to Revolving Advances made by such Lender (and Section 2.10 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. After the date of such purchase, the outstanding Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest for the account of the Lenders for each day from and including the date of the drawing giving rise to the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation until the earlier of: (i) the date of reimbursement by the Borrowers and (ii) the date on which such drawing is reimbursed by Revolving Advances as provided in this Section 2.9(g), in each case, at the rate per annum that would apply to Alternate Base Rate Loans. After the date of such purchase, any payment by the Borrowers to the Agent with respect to the Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, together with interest thereon, shall be promptly distributed by the Agent to each Lender based on its Revolving Percentage. Any Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation shall be deemed to be a Revolving Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents until such Unpaid Reimbursement Obligation is repaid by the Borrowers in full, together with interest thereon as herein specified.

(h) In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall indemnify, save and hold the Agent, each Lender and each Issuer harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including payments made by the Agent, any Lender or any Issuer and

expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Agent, any Lender or Issuer arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit to be issued or created for any Borrower, except for any loss, cost, expense or liability resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, the Issuer or any correspondent of the Issuer. The Borrowers shall be bound by the Agent’s or any Issuer’s regulations and good faith interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued or created for the Loan Account, although this interpretation may be different from its own; and, neither the Agent, nor any Lender, nor any Issuer nor any of their correspondents shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrowing Agent’s or any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in any Letter of Credit or of any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto or in issuing or paying any Letter of Credit, except for the Agent’s, any Lender’s, any Issuer’s or such correspondents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(i) The Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct the Issuer to name the applicable Domestic Borrower or UK Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit whether the issuance is for the benefit of such Borrower or any Subsidiary of such Borrower. The Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct the Issuer to deliver to the Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by the Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Application.

(j) In connection with all Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints the Issuer, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) to sign or endorse such Borrower’s name upon any warehouse or other receipts, letter of credit applications and acceptances; (ii) to sign such Borrower’s name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States Customs Department (“Customs”) in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer’s designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in the name of such Borrower or Issuer or Issuer’s designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Issuer nor its attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Issuer’s or its attorney’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

2.10 Funding of Advances by Lenders; Sharing of Payments; Settlement.

(a) Each Revolving Borrowing shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Percentage of the Lenders.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.5(b) hereof, commencing with the first Business Day following the Closing Date, Revolving Advances shall be advanced by the Agent and each payment by the Borrowers on account of Revolving Advances shall be applied first to those Revolving Advances advanced by the Agent. On or before 1:00 p.m. on each Settlement Date commencing with the first Settlement Date following the Closing Date, the Agent and the Lenders shall make certain payments as follows: (i) if the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made by the Agent during the preceding Settlement Week (if any) exceeds the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such preceding Settlement Week, then each Lender shall provide the Agent with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Revolving Percentage of the difference between (x) such Revolving Advances and (y) such repayments and (ii) if the aggregate amount of repayments applied to outstanding Revolving Advances during such Settlement Week exceeds the aggregate amount of new Revolving Advances made during such Settlement Week, then the

Agent shall provide each Lender with funds in an amount equal to its applicable Revolving Percentage of the difference between (x) such repayments and (y) such Revolving Advances. Each Lender shall be entitled to earn interest applicable under this Agreement on outstanding Advances which it has funded. On each Settlement Date, the Agent shall submit to each Lender a settlement statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Advances at the end of the Settlement Week immediately preceding such Settlement Date which shall disclose the net amount due to or due from such Lender on such Settlement Date. Such settlement statement of the Agent shall be presumed correct in the absence of manifest error.

(c) If any Lender shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon (a “benefited Lender”), and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each benefited Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Percentage of the Advances available to the Agent, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to the Agent on the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Agent by such Lender by the next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to the Agent on demand (i) such unpaid amount plus (ii) interest calculated at the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days) during the period from such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount does become available to the Agent from the Lender in immediately available funds. If such amount is not made available to the Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date, the Agent shall also be entitled on demand to repayment of such an amount from the Borrowers with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Revolving Advances hereunder; provided, however, that the Agent’s right to such recovery shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect any rights the Borrowers’ may have against such Lender.

2.11 Defaulting Lender.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender (x) has failed (which failure constitutes a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) to make available its portion of any Advance or participation purchase price obligation as required under this Agreement or (y) has notified either the Agent or the Borrowing Agent that it does not intend to make available its portion of any Advance or participation purchase price obligation as required under this Agreement (if the actual failure would constitute a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) (each, a “Lender Default”), all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall be modified to the extent provided by this Section 2.11 while such Lender Default remains in effect. In addition, in the case of any failure described in clause (x) or any such notice to the

Agent from a Lender described in clause (y), the Agent will promptly notify the Borrowing Agent of any such failure or of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender.

(b) The Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to such Defaulting Lender any payments made by the Borrowers for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender until such Defaulting Lender has cured its failure. Until the earlier of such Defaulting Lender’s cure of its failure to fund or the termination of all of the Commitments, all amounts repaid to the Agent by the Borrowers which would otherwise be required to be applied to such Defaulting Lender’s Advances or participation purchase price obligation, as the case may be, shall be advanced to the Borrowers by the Agent on behalf of such Defaulting Lender to cure, in full or in part, the failure by such Defaulting Lender to fund, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender in satisfaction of, the Obligations to which such payment would otherwise have been applied.

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to the Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents. All amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a Lender and not to have Advances (or participation purchase price obligations) outstanding.

(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.11, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify the Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, the Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder. In the event a Defaulting Lender retroactively cures to the satisfaction of the Agent the breach which caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender under this Agreement.

2.12 Funding by Lending Installations.

All or any part of the Advances or Letters of Credit that any Lender or the Issuer (the “Obligated Lender”) may be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement: (i) may be funded by such Obligated Lender on behalf of such Obligated Lender’s Lending Installation or (ii) may be funded on such Obligated Lender’s behalf by such Lender by and through any such Lending Installation; provided, however, that, (a) if any Lending Installation fails to fund all or any part of any such Advance or Letter of Credit, the Obligated Lender shall be obligated to fund such Advance or Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, (b) in no event shall any such funding by or through any Lending Installation increase the costs or expenses for which the Borrowers are liable under this Agreement and (c) in no event shall any such funding on behalf of or through any such Lending Installation subject any Borrower to any taxes, assessments and governmental charges without such Obligated Lender’s being subject to the exercise by such Borrower of its rights under Section 3.13. The funding of an Advance or Letter of Credit by a Lending Installation hereunder shall utilize the applicable commitment of the Obligated Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance or Letter of Credit were funded by such Obligated Lender, and for purposes of this Agreement, such Advance or Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been made directly by such Obligated Lender.

2.13 Use of Proceeds.

The Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of the Revolving Advances (i) to pay fees and expenses relating to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) to pay all amounts owing under or with respect to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2002, among Parent, the lending institutions that are signatories thereto, and National City Bank, as the administrative agent to such lenders, as amended and modified from time to time, (iii) to fund any Permitted Acquisitions and (iv) for general corporate purposes.

III. INTEREST; FEES; YIELD PROTECTION.

3.1 Interest.

The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from the date such Advance is made until the principal amount thereof shall have been paid in full as follows. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the calendar month.

(a) Alternate Base Rate Loans. So long as no Event of Default has occurred which is continuing, Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest for each day at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin which is then in effect for Revolving Borrowings comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans. Interest on Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be payable in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, on the date such Revolving Advances comprising any such Revolving Borrowing shall be paid in full (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) and, after maturity, on demand.

(b) Libor Rate Loans. So long as no Event of Default has occurred which is continuing, Libor Rate Loans shall bear interest during each applicable Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Libor Rate plus the Applicable Libor Rate Margin which is then in effect and applicable to the Borrowings comprised of such Libor Rate Loans. Interest on Libor Rate Loans shall be payable at the last day of each Interest Period (but for Libor Rate Loans with an Interest Period in excess of three (3) months, on the ninetieth (90th) day after the commencement of such Libor Rate Loan, and after each ninety (90) day interval thereafter), on the date such Revolving Advances comprising any such Revolving Borrowing shall be paid in full (whether at maturity, by reason of acceleration or otherwise) and, after maturity, on demand.

3.2 Applicable Margins.

At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Agent shall determine the Undrawn Availability for such fiscal quarter based upon the average daily Undrawn Availability for each day of such fiscal quarter. From each Incentive Pricing Effective Date until the next Incentive Pricing Effective Date, the Applicable Base Rate Margin, the Applicable Libor Rate Margin, the Applicable Unused Facility Fee Percentage and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Percentage shall be determined by reference to the applicable Undrawn Availability on the grid below; provided, however, that Tier IV pricing shall apply through and including November 30, 2007.


								Applicable Letter			Applicable Unused
		Applicable Libor			Applicable Base			of Credit Fee			Facility Fee
Tier	Undrawn Availability	Rate Margin			Rate Margin			Percentage			Percentage
I	≤ $25,000,000		1.75	%		0.25	%		1.75	%		0.25	%
II	> $25,000,000 but ≤ $50,000,000		1.50	%		0	%		1.50	%		0.25	%


								Applicable Letter			Applicable Unused
		Applicable Libor			Applicable Base			of Credit Fee			Facility Fee
Tier	Undrawn Availability	Rate Margin			Rate Margin			Percentage			Percentage
III	> $50,000,000 but ≤ $70,000,000		1.25	%		0	%		1.25	%		0.25	%
IV	> $70,000,000		1.00	%		0	%		1.00	%		0.25	%

If any financial statement or certificate delivered pursuant to Article IX is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement is in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Base Rate Margin, Applicable Libor Rate Margin, Applicable Unused Facility Fee Percentageor Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Percentage for any period (such period, the “Applicable Period”), than the Applicable Base Rate Margin, Applicable Libor Rate Margin, Applicable Unused Facility Fee Percentageor Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Percentage, as applicable, actually applied to such Applicable Period, then, upon the written request of the Agent, such margin or percentage shall be determined in accordance with the correct financial information for such Applicable Period and the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Agent any accrued additional interest and fees owing as a result of such increased margin or percentage for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be applied promptly by the Agent to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect to Article XI or to charge the Default Rate pursuant to Section 3.3.

3.3 Default Rate.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, upon the election of the Agent, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Obligations (including with respect to all Letter of Credit Fees) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to two percent (2%) in excess of the otherwise applicable interest rate payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Default Rate”).

3.4 Letter of Credit Fees.

The Borrowers shall pay (x) to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and ending on the date of expiration or termination thereof, equal to the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Percentage, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the Facility Termination Date, and (y) to the Issuer, for its own account, any and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by the Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in the Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction.

3.5 Unused Facility Fees.

If, during any calendar month, the sum of (i) the average daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances for each day of such calendar month, plus (ii) the average daily outstanding face amount of Letters of Credit for each day of such calendar month, does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the

ratable benefit of the Lenders a fee at a rate per annum equal to (x) the Applicable Unused Facility Fee Percentage multiplied by (y) the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount exceeds such aggregate average daily sum. Such fee shall be payable to the Agent in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar month after the date hereof until the Facility Termination Date and on the Facility Termination Date.

3.6 Computation of Interest and Fees.

Interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the rate otherwise applicable under this Agreement during such extension.

3.7 Maximum Charges.

In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by the Borrowers, and if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, the Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to the Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

3.8 Increased Costs.

In the event that the Agent or any Lender shall determine that (a) the introduction after the effective date of this Agreement of any law, treaty, rule or regulation or any change therein after the effective date of this Agreement, (b) any change after the effective date of this Agreement in the interpretation or administration of any law, treaty, rule or regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Body or (c) the compliance by the Agent or such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law) promulgated or issued after the effective date of this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 3.8, the terms “Agent” and “Lender” shall include any corporation or bank controlling the Agent or such Lender and the office or branch where the Agent or such Lender makes or maintains any Libor Rate Loans), shall:

(a) subject the Agent or such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Other Loan Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Agent or such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder or under any Other Loan Documents (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of the Agent or such Lender by the jurisdiction in which it maintains its principal office);

(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by any office of the Agent or such Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c) impose on the Agent or such Lender or the London interbank offered rate market any other condition with respect to this Agreement or any Other Loan Document;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Agent or such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Revolving Advances hereunder by an amount that the Agent or such Lender deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Revolving Advances by an amount that the Agent or such Lender deems to be material, then, in any case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay the Agent or such Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate the Agent or such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be; provided, however, the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the Eurocurrency Reserve Percentage. The Agent or such Lender, upon determining in good faith that any such additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.8, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowing Agent, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable and which calculation shall be presumed correct absent manifest error, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.8 upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

3.9 Non-Ascertainable Libor Rate; Unavailable Deposits.

In the event that the Agent shall have determined that:

(a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Libor Rate applicable for any Interest Period; or

(b) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank offered rate market, with respect to an outstanding Libor Rate Loan, a proposed Libor Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of an Alternate Base Rate Loan into a Libor Rate Loan,

then the Agent shall give the Borrowing Agent prompt written, telephonic or telegraphic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested Libor Rate Loan shall be made as an Alternate Base Rate Loan, unless the Borrowing Agent shall notify the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed Borrowing, that its request for such Borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of Libor Rate Loan, (ii) any Alternate Base Rate Loan or Libor Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of Libor Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into an Alternate Base Rate Loan, or, if the Borrowing Agent shall notify the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of Libor Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected Libor Rate Loans shall be converted into an Alternate Base Rate Loan, or, if the Borrowing Agent shall notify the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected Libor Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of Libor Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected Libor Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn, the Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of Libor Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected Libor Rate Loans and the Borrowers shall not have the right to convert an Alternate Base Rate Loan or an unaffected type of Libor Rate Loan into an affected type of Libor Rate Loan.

3.10 Libor Rate Loan Losses.

The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that the Agent and the Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of, or any default by the Borrowers in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Libor Rate Loan or failure by the Borrowers to complete a Borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a Libor

Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including any interest payable by the Agent or the Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Libor Rate Loans hereunder. The Agent or such Lender, upon determining in good faith that any such additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.10, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowing Agent, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable and which calculation shall be presumed correct absent manifest error, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10 upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

3.11 Capital Adequacy.

In the event that the Agent or any Lender shall have determined that (a) the introduction after the effective date of this Agreement of any law, treaty, rule or regulation or any change therein after the effective date of this Agreement, (b) any change after the effective date of this Agreement in the interpretation or administration of any law, treaty, rule or regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Body or (c) the compliance by any Lender or the Issuer with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law) promulgated or issued after the effective date of this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 3.11, the terms “Agent” and “Lender” shall include any corporation or bank controlling the Agent or any Lender and the office or branch where any such Lender makes or maintains any Libor Rate Loans), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Agent or any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Agent or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Agent’s and each Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Agent or any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, the Borrowers shall pay upon demand to the Agent or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Agent or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, the Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.11 shall be available to the Agent and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition. The Agent or such Lender, upon determining in good faith that any such additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.11, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowing Agent, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable and which calculation shall be presumed correct absent manifest error, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.11 upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

3.12 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any applicable law, treaty, regulation or directive adopted after the effective date of this Agreement, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof after the effective date of this Agreement, shall make it unlawful for the Agent or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.12, the terms “Agent” and “Lender” shall include any corporation or bank controlling the Agent or such Lender or the office or branch where any such Lender or makes or maintains any Libor Rate Loans) to make or maintain its Libor Rate Loans, the obligation of the Lenders to make Libor Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and the Borrowers shall, if any affected Libor Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from the Agent, either pay all such affected Libor Rate Loans or convert such affected Libor Rate Loans into loans of another Type. If any such payment or conversion of any Libor Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Libor Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall pay the Agent,

upon the Agent’s request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate the Lenders for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by the Lenders in respect of such Libor Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion, including any interest or other amounts payable by the Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by the Lenders in order to make or maintain such Libor Rate Loan. The Agent or such Lender, upon determining in good faith that any such additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.12, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowing Agent, which notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which basis must be reasonable and which calculation shall be presumed correct absent manifest error, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.12 upon the subsequent receipt of such notice.

3.13 Taxes; Withholding; Tax Indemnification.

(a) All payments made by the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, charges, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Body, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income (however denominated) of, and franchise taxes imposed on (in lieu of net income taxes) any of the Agent, Issuer or the Lenders by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable Lending Installation is located, (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which any Loan Party is located and (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by any Borrower under Section 15.5(g)), any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such Foreign Lender’s failure or inability (other than as a result of a change in law) to comply with Section 3.13(c), except to the extent that such Foreign Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from such Loan Party with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 3.13(a) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, charges, deductions and withholdings, the “Non-Excluded Taxes”). In addition, the Loan Parties agree to pay to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Other Loan Document (“Other Taxes”).

(b) If any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are required by law to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Lenders or the Issuer hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to such Person shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Person a net amount equal to interest or any such other amounts that would have been paid without such withholdings, at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Loan Parties, the Borrowing Agent shall send to the Agent a certified copy of any original official receipt received by any Loan Party showing payment thereof or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by such Loan Party reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, the Issuer or the Agent, as applicable. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuer for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes that are paid by such indemnified Person (including penalties, interest and expenses arising with respect thereto) whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by any Governmental Body.

(c) Each Lender, the Issuer or assignee or participant of a Lender or the Issuer that is a Foreign Lender (and, upon the written request of the Agent, each other Lender, the Issuer or assignee or participant of a Lender or the Issuer) agrees that it will deliver to each of the Borrowing Agent and the Agent two (2) duly completed appropriate valid Withholding Certificates certifying its status as a U.S. or foreign person and, if appropriate, making a claim of complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax on the basis of an income tax treaty or an exemption provided by the Code. Each Lender or the Issuer, assignee or participant required to deliver to the Borrowing Agent and the Agent Withholding Certificates shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificates as follows: (A) each Lender or the Issuer which is a party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificate not more than five (5) Business Days after it enters into this Agreement; (B) each assignee or participant shall deliver such valid Withholding Certificates at least five (5) Business Days before the effective date of such assignment or participation (unless the Agent in its sole discretion shall permit such assignee or participant to deliver such valid Withholding Certificates less than five (5) Business Days before such date in which case it shall be due on the date specified by the Agent). Each Lender, the Issuer, assignee or participant which so delivers Withholding Certificates further undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrowing Agent and the Agent two (2) additional copies of such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Borrowing Agent or the Agent.

(d) The Lenders as of the Closing Date agree to submit promptly after the Closing Date to the taxing authority of the country in which such Lender is resident for tax purposes (with a copy to the Agent and the Borrowing Agent) for certification and forwarding by such taxing authority to the appropriate United Kingdom taxing authority, two copies of Form “Claim on Behalf of a United States Domestic Corporation to Relief from United Kingdom Income Tax on Interest and Royalties Arising in the United Kingdom” (or its counterpart for jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom), or any successor forms (wherein such Lender claims entitlement to complete exemption from or reduced rate of United Kingdom withholding tax on interest paid by such Borrower hereunder) and to provide successor forms thereto if any previously delivered form is found to be incomplete or incorrect in any material respect or upon the obsolescence of any previously delivered form. Each Lender and Issuer becoming such after the Closing Date that is managed and controlled from or incorporated under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom and which is making an Advance to any of the UK Borrowers through a lending branch or lending office located outside the United Kingdom agrees to submit on or before the time of becoming such a Lender or Issuer to the taxing authority of the country in which such Lender is resident for tax purposes (with a copy to the Agent and the Borrowing Agent), for certification and forwarding by such taxing authority to the appropriate United Kingdom taxing authority, two copies of Form “Claim on Behalf of a United States Domestic Corporation to Relief from United Kingdom Income Tax on Interest and Royalties Arising in the United Kingdom” (or its counterpart for jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom), or any successor forms (wherein such Lender claims entitlement to complete exemption from or reduced rate of United Kingdom withholding tax on interest paid by such Borrower hereunder) and to provide successor forms thereto if any previously delivered form is found to be incomplete or incorrect in any material respect or upon the obsolescence of any previously delivered form. Unless the Agent and the Borrowing Agent have received a copy of the “Claim on Behalf of a United States Domestic Corporation to Relief from United Kingdom Income Tax on Interest and Royalties Arising in the United Kingdom” (or its counterpart for jurisdictions other than the United Kingdom) from such Lender or Issuer, each of the UK Borrowers may withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate (subject, in the case of each of the UK Borrowers to the requirements of Section 3.13(a) above); provided, however, that, if each such UK Borrower has withheld, the Borrowing Agent shall so notify the

Agent. Any Lender or Issuer which ceases to be exempt from United Kingdom withholding taxes shall notify the Agent and the Borrowing Agent promptly thereof.

(e) Upon the written request of any Borrower, each Lender promptly will provide to such Borrower and to the Agent, or file with the relevant taxing authority (with a copy to the Agent), such form, certification or similar documentation that it is legally able to provide (each duly completed, accurate and signed) as is required by the relevant jurisdiction in order to obtain an exemption from, or reduced rate of, Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes to which such Lender or the Agent is entitled pursuant to an applicable tax treaty or the law of the relevant jurisdiction; provided, however, such Lender will not be required to (i) disclose information which in its Permitted Discretion it deems confidential or proprietary or (ii) incur a disadvantage if it determines, in its Permitted Discretion, that such disadvantage would be substantial.

(f) If and to the extent that any Lender that is either a Non-UK Lender or a UK Lender is able, in its sole opinion, to apply or otherwise take advantage of any offsetting Tax credit or other similar Tax benefit out of or in conjunction with any deduction, withholding or payment which gives rise to an obligation on either UK Borrower to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 3.13(a), or Section 3.13(b), such Lender shall, to the extent that in its sole opinion it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit or benefit and without any other adverse Tax consequences for that Lender, reimburse to each UK Borrower, at such time as such Tax credit or benefit shall have actually been received by that Lender such amount as that Lender shall, in its sole opinion, have determined to be attributable to the relevant deduction, withholding or payment and as will leave it in no better or worse position in respect of its worldwide Tax liabilities than it would have been in if the payment of such additional amount had not been required.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreement and liabilities of the Borrowers contained in this Section 3.13 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

4.13 Payment of Leasehold Obligations.

Each Obligor shall at all times pay, when and as due (in accordance with all applicable grace periods, if any), its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep them in full force and effect, and, at the Agent’s reasonable request, will provide evidence of having done so.

(g) Establishment of Lockboxes and Collection Accounts. The Domestic Obligors have established and shall maintain one or more Lockboxes with National City Bank

and with each other Lockbox Bank. The Domestic Obligors have established and will maintain a deposit account (each a “Collection Account”) with each Lockbox Bank in the name of the Borrowing Agent or such other Obligors as are acceptable to the Agent, in its sole discretion. In the case of National City Bank, after the Borrowing Agent has received an Activation Notice, each Cash Concentration Account maintained at National City Bank shall function as a Collection Account maintained at National City Bank for all purposes of this Section 4.14(g) and 4.14(h). Each Lockbox Bank and the Borrowing Agent (or other applicable Obligor) have entered into agreements establishing the Lockboxes maintained by such Lockbox Bank (each a “Lockbox Agreement”) and agreements with respect to the Collection Account maintained at such Lockbox Bank (each a “Deposit Account Agreement”), each such Lockbox Agreement and Deposit Account Agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

XI. LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT

11.1 Rights and Remedies.

Upon the occurrence of (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7, all Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations) shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of the Lenders and to make Advances and the Issuer to issue Letters of Credit shall be deemed terminated all without presentment, demand or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Loan Party), and (ii) any Event of Default (other than pursuant to Section 10.7), the Agent may, and upon the written request of the Required Lenders shall, declare all Obligations to be immediately due and payable and terminate the obligation of the Lenders to make Advances and the Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, all without presentment, demand or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Loan Party). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all other rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Uniform Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure or to take, to the extent permitted by applicable law, possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. The Agent may enter any Obligor’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to such Obligor therefor, and the Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as the Agent may deem advisable and the Agent may require such Obligor to make the Collateral available to the Agent at a convenient place or places. With or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, and subject to the applicable provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as the Agent may elect.

104

Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Agent shall give such Obligor reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to such Obligor at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer may bid for and become the purchaser, and the Agent, any Lender, the Issuer or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption, and such right and equity are hereby expressly waived and released by each Obligor. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, the Agent is granted permission to use all of each Obligor’s trademarks, trade styles, trade names, patents, patent applications, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights which are used in connection with (a) Inventory for the purpose of disposing of such Inventory and (b) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.7. If any deficiency shall arise, the Borrowers shall remain liable to the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuer therefor.

11.2 [Reserved]

11.3 Setoff.

In addition to any other rights which the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer may have under applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, the Agent, such Lender and the Issuer, including any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Agent, such Lender or the Issuer, shall have a right to apply any Obligor’s property held by the Agent, such Lender, the Issuer, such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to reduce the Obligations. However, each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of the Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of the Agent, setoff against the Obligations any amounts owing by such Lender to any Obligor or in any Deposit Account of any Obligor now or hereafter maintained with such Lender.

11.4 Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

Immediately upon the request of the Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers will deposit and maintain cash in an account with the Agent (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”), as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the Letter of Credit Exposure. Upon such occurrence and request, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, on the Borrowers’ behalf and in the Borrower’s name, to open such Letter of Credit Collateral Account and to make and maintain deposits in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in such required amounts, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of the Borrowers in the Agent’s possession at any time. The Agent will invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral. The Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Borrowers shall not be entitled to withdraw any funds from the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Agent may apply funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts as shall have become or shall become due and payable by the Borrowers to the Issuer and, after the occurrence which is continuing, to the payment of Obligations then outstanding.

11.5 Appointment of Receiver.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Agent shall be entitled, upon application to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio,

105

to the immediate appointment of a receiver for all or part of the Collateral, whether such receivership is incidental to a proposed sale of the Collateral, pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise. Each Obligor hereby consents to the appointment of such a receiver without bond, to the full extent permitted by applicable statute or law.

11.6 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive; Non-Waiver.

The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative. No delay or omission on the Agent’s, any Lender’s or the Issuer’s part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.

11.7 Allocation of Payments After Event of Default.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary other than Sections 1.8 and 14.2, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Agent on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Other Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered as follows:

First, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders and the Issuer under this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents and any protective advances made by the Agent with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the term of this Agreement;

Fourth, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest arising under or pursuant to this Agreement or the Other Loan Documents (other than Hedging Contracts with a Qualified Counterparty and other than Obligations relating to Banking Services);

Fifth, to the ratable payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Advances (including the payment or cash collateralization of the Letter of Credit Exposure);

Sixth, to the ratable payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), accrued fees and interest, and any other amounts owing with respect to the Obligations relating to Banking Services;

Seventh, to all other Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents and not repaid pursuant to clauses “First” through “Sixth” above; and

106

Eighth, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to the Loan Parties or whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders and the Issuer shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that then outstanding Advances held by such Lender or the Issuer bears to the aggregate then outstanding Advances) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “Third”, “Fourth”, “Fifth”, “Sixth” and “Seventh” above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “Fifth” above are attributable to the Letter of Credit Exposure, such amounts shall be held by the Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuer from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses “Fifth”, “Sixth” and “Seventh” above in the manner provided in this Section 11.7.

If the Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders and the Issuer with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Loan Document, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders and the Issuer shall not have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

13.5 Reliance.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or Other Loan Document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to

109

all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Agent with reasonable care.

13.6 Notice of Default.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Loan Documents, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender, the Issuer or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement or the Other Loan Documents, describing such 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 notice thereof to the Lenders and the Issuer. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, 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 Default or Event of Default as is permitted hereunder or under applicable law and as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders and the Issuer.

13.7 Posting to an Approved Electronic Platform.

Each of the Lenders, the Issuer and the Loan Parties agree that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders and Issuer by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks ™ , Syndtrack™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Agent from time to time and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, the Issuer and the Loan Parties acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders, the Issuer and the Loan Parties hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution. Each of the Lenders, the Issuer, and the Loan Parties agrees that the Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. The Agent and any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives do not warrant the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Approved Electronic Communications or the Approved Electronic Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Agent or such Affiliates or such respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or

110

representatives in connection with the Approved Electronic Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications.

13.8 Indemnification of Agent and Issuer.

To the extent the Agent or the Issuer is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Loan Parties (or any other Person on any Loan Party’s behalf), each Lender will reimburse and indemnify the Agent or the Issuer, as applicable, in accordance with their Percentages, 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 or the Issuer in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Loan Document; provided, however, that, the Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or the Issuer, as applicable.

13.9 Agent in its Individual Capacity.

With respect to the obligation of the Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as the Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. The Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

13.10 Delivery of Documents.

Whenever the Agent receives financial statements required under Section 9.7 and Section 9.8 and\or a Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to the Lenders and the Issuer.

13.11 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender nor the Issuer, nor any of their Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Issuer’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, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, this Agreement, the Other Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any record keeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

13.12 Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or any Obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by

111

declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances, Obligations owing with respect to a Letter of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such Other Loan Documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuer, the Agent and the other Secured Creditors (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuer, the Agent and the other Secured Creditors and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuer and the Agent under Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 15.12) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuer to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuer, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 3.5 and 15.12.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, any Issuer or any other Secured Creditor any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, any Issuer or any other Secured Creditor to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender, any Issuer or any other Secured Creditor in any such proceeding.

13.13 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

The Lenders and the Issuer irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its Permitted Discretion:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under this Agreement or any Other Loan Document (i) upon termination of the aggregate Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any Other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 15.3(v), if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(b) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder;

(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent hereunder or under any Other Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.8(d) and Section 7.2 pursuant to clause (f) of the definition of Permitted Encumbrances; and

(d) upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or, if necessary, all Lenders) will confirm in writing the authority of the Agent to release its interest in

112

particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty pursuant to this Section 13.13. In each case as specified in this Section 13.13, the Agent will, at the Parent’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereunder and under the Other Loan Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Other Loan Documents and this Section 13.13.

13.14 No Independent Action.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Loan Documents, it being the intent of the Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Agent or the Required Lenders.


XIV.		BORROWING AGENCY; BORROWERS AND OTHER LOAN PARTIES JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE.

14.1 Borrowing Agency Provisions.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates the Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all notices, instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Borrower or the Borrowers, and hereby authorizes the Agent to pay over or credit all proceeds of Advances hereunder in accordance with the requests of the Borrowing Agent.

(b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and at their request. Neither the Agent, any Lender nor the Issuer shall incur liability to the Loan Parties as a result thereof. To induce the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuer to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Loan Party hereby indemnifies the Agent, each Lender and the Issuer and holds the Agent, each Lender and the Issuer harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of the Loan Parties as provided herein, reliance by the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer on any request or instruction from the Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer with respect to this Section 14.1 except due to willful misconduct or gross negligence by the indemnified party. This Section 14.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

14.2 Cross-Obligations of Loan Parties.

(a) To induce the Lenders to make the Advances to the Borrowers and the Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, and in consideration thereof, each of the Domestic Borrowers hereby unconditionally and irrevocably: (a) agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the due and punctual payment in immediately available funds of all Obligations (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of the Borrowers, (b) agrees to be jointly and severally liable to the Issuer for the due and punctual payment in immediately available funds of all reimbursement obligations and (c) agrees jointly and severally to pay any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Agent in enforcing its rights with respect to such Obligations of the Borrowers. To induce

113

the Lenders to make the Advances to the Borrowers and the Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, and in consideration thereof, each Guarantor who is a Domestic Obligor hereby (i) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the other Loan Parties, of every type and description and (ii) agrees jointly and severally to pay any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Agent in enforcing its rights with respect to such guaranty. The maximum liability of a Domestic Obligor for its guaranty under this Section (including, to the extent that the agreement by each Domestic Borrower to be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations of the Borrowers is construed to be a guaranty of the Obligations of any other Borrower) shall be the greatest amount which after taking into consideration all other valid and enforceable debts and liabilities of such Domestic Obligor, an applicable court has determined (after any appeals) would not render such Domestic Obligor insolvent, unable to pay its debts as they become due, inadequately capitalized for the business which it intends to conduct (in all such cases, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§101, et. seq., or any other similar state law), or unable to pay a judgment rendered upon a claim that is the subject of an action or proceeding pending at the time when such guaranty (or the agreement to be so jointly and severally liable) is incurred or increased. In no event shall the UK Borrowers or any other Foreign Subsidiary of Parent guaranty the obligations of any Domestic Borrower hereunder or under the Other Loan Documents. In addition, no assets or Collateral of the UK Borrowers shall secure any Obligations other than Obligations of the UK Borrowers.

(b) Such guaranty (or, if applicable, the agreement to be so jointly and severally liable) shall be irrevocable, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected, except for payment of such Obligations and to the extent permitted by applicable law, by: (i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any Obligation under this Agreement or any Other Loan Document by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any Other Loan Document; (iii) any modification, amendment, waiver, release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security, or of any guarantee or other liability of any third party, of the Obligations with respect to which the such guaranty (or, if applicable, agreement to be jointly and severally liable) relates; (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure, or ownership of, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting such Domestic Obligor or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any of the Obligations; (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which any Loan Party may have at any time against any Lender, the Issuer or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection with this Agreement or any Other Loan Document; (vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Loan Party thereof for any reason of this Agreement or any Other Loan Document or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Loan Party of any Obligation under this Agreement or any Other Loan Document; or (vii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Loan Party, the Agent, the Lenders, the Issuer or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Domestic Obligor’s guaranty (or, if applicable, agreement to be jointly and severally liable) hereunder. In no event shall the UK Borrowers or any other Foreign Subsidiary of Parent guaranty the obligations of any Domestic Borrower hereunder or under the Other Loan Documents.

(c) The agreement of each Domestic Obligor under this Section 14.2 (including the agreement of each Domestic Borrower to be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations of the other Borrowers) shall remain in full force and effect until all Commitments of the Lenders and the obligations of the Issuer are terminated and the Obligations under this Agreement or any Other Loan Document have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of any amount payable by any other Loan Party under this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Loan Party or otherwise, the agreement of each Domestic

114

Obligor under this Section (including the agreement of each Domestic Borrower to be so jointly and severally liable for the Obligations of the other Borrowers) shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had become due but had not been made at such time. This Section 14.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement until the payment in full of all amounts payable under this Agreement and any Other Loan Documents.

(d) No Domestic Obligor shall be entitled to enforce any remedy which the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer now has or may hereafter have against any of the other Loan Party, in respect of all or any part of the Obligations paid by such Domestic Obligor pursuant to its guaranty hereunder (or its agreement to be jointly and severally liable) until all of the Obligations shall have been fully and finally paid to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors and all Commitments of the Lenders and the Issuer to the Borrowers have terminated. Each such Domestic Obligor hereby waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Agent to secure payment of the Obligations. Each such Domestic Obligor also waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this agreement to guaranty the Obligations (and to be jointly and severally liable, if applicable). Each such Domestic Obligor waives all notices of the existence, creation or incurring of additional Obligations by any other Loan Party, and also waives all notices that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect all or any part of such Obligations, and, to the extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any Collateral given to the Agent to secure payment of the Obligations. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Loan Party under this Agreement or any Other Loan Document in respect of Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable by each of the other Loan Parties who are a Domestic Obligor under their agreement to guaranty the Obligations (and, if applicable, to be jointly and severally liable), to the extent permitted by applicable law.

14.3 Rights of Subrogation.

(a) If any Domestic Obligor makes a payment in respect of Section 14.2, it shall be subrogated to the rights, if any, of the Lenders and Issuer and other payees against the other Loan Parties with respect to such payment and shall have the rights of contribution set forth below against the other Loan Parties; provided, however, that such Domestic Obligor shall not enforce its rights to any payment by way of subrogation or by exercising its right of contribution until all the Obligations owing hereunder shall have been finally paid in full and may not under applicable insolvency laws be required to be repaid, and all Commitments of the Lenders and all obligations of the Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder have been terminated. Subject to all of the Obligations hereunder having been finally paid in full and not subject to required repayment under applicable insolvency laws and all Commitments of the Lenders hereunder and all obligations of the Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder having terminated, each Domestic Obligor shall make, and agrees with each of the other Domestic Obligors (and the successors and assigns of such Domestic Obligors) to make, payments in respect of the Obligations of such Loan Parties to which such other Domestic Obligors are subrogated by reason of making payment pursuant to Section 14.2, or contribution payments to which such other Domestic Obligors are entitled, such that, taking into account all such payments on account of subrogation or contribution rights:

(i) Each Domestic Obligor shall have paid to the other Domestic Obligors on account of such subrogation and contribution rights (A) all Obligations the benefit of which has been received by such Domestic Obligor or which relate to Obligations the

115

benefit of which has been received by such Domestic Obligor or (B) if the aggregate of all such payments by all Domestic Obligors to all other Domestic Obligors would exceed the outstanding Obligations, such Domestic Obligor’s pro rata share of the outstanding Obligations , in accordance with the amount of the benefit received by such Domestic Obligor as described under subsection (A) hereinabove; and

(ii) If there remain Obligations unpaid after application of the payments referred to above, the deficiency shall be shared among the Domestic Obligors pro rata in proportion to their respective net worth on the Closing Date of this Agreement.

XV. MISCELLANEOUS.

15.2 Entire Understanding.

This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith contain the entire understanding among the Loan Parties, the Agent, each Lender and the Issuer and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by each Loan Party’s, the Agent’s, each Lender’s and the Issuer’s respective officers. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

15.3 Amendments.

None of this Agreement, any Other Loan Document, or, in each case, any portion or provisions thereof, may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. The Required Lenders, the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders, and the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries (as applicable), may, subject to the provisions of this Section 15.3, from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Loan Documents executed by such parties for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying, waiving or otherwise amending in any manner the rights of the Lenders, the Issuer, the Agent, the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof, or consenting to any deviation therefrom, or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however that, the consent of the Issuer must be obtained with respect to any amendment, waiver of or consent with respect to Section 2.9 or any other provisions the amendment or waiver of which would adversely affect the Issuer and, provided, further, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all Lenders:

(i) increase any Commitment of any Lender or increase the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.

116

(ii) alter the definition of the term Revolving Percentage.

(iii) Except to the extent permitted by Section 1.9(b), extend the maturity of any Note or, without the consent of the affected Person, the due date for any amount payable hereunder, or decrease the rate of interest or reduce any fee payable by any Loan Party to the Lenders or the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement.

(iv) alter the definition of the term Required Lenders or alter, amend or modify this Section 15.3.

(v) release all or substantially all of the Collateral.

(vi) change the rights and duties of the Agent.

(vii) permit any Revolving Advance to be made if, after giving effect thereto, (x) the sum of the Revolving Advances outstanding plus the Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed (y) (A) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount on any Business Day or (B) the Aggregate Formula Amount for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or one hundred five percent (105%) of the Aggregate Formula Amount on any Business Day.

(viii) increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date or increase the limit on advances with respect to Eligible UK Inventory, Eligible Domestic Inventory or Eligible Domestic Inventory located in Mexico.

(ix) release any Person from the Obligations under this Agreement, any applicable Guaranty, if any, or any Other Loan Document.

(x) alter, amend or modify Section 11.7.

Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and the Issuer and shall be binding upon the Lenders, the Issuer, the Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries, the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuer shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties may, with the written consent of the Agent, from time to time amend or supplement the Schedules to this Agreement (other than Schedules 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5 and 7.8).

15.4 Special and Protective Agent Advances.

(a) Notwithstanding (a) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (b) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or (c) any other provision of this Agreement, the Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of the Required Lenders, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances, plus the Letter of Credit Exposure at any time to exceed one hundred five percent (105%) of the Aggregate Formula Amount for up to thirty (30) consecutive Business Days provided that such outstanding Advances do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the discretion granted to the Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that either of the UK Formula Amount or the Aggregate Formula Amount were unintentionally

117

exceeded for any reason, including Collateral previously deemed to be either “Eligible UK Receivables”, “Eligible Domestic Receivables”, “Eligible UK Inventory” or “Eligible Domestic Inventory”, as applicable, becomes ineligible or collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral. In the event the Agent involuntarily permits either the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the Aggregate Formula Amount by more than five percent (5%), the Agent shall use its efforts to have the Borrowers decrease any such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after the Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence.

(b) In addition to the discretionary voluntary Revolving Advances permitted above in Section 15.4(a), the Agent is hereby authorized by each Loan Party, the Lenders and the Issuer, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion (a) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or (b) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied, to make protective Revolving Advances to the Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders which the Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that at any time after giving effect to any such Revolving Advances, the outstanding Revolving Advances do not exceed the lesser of (X) one hundred five percent (105%) of the Aggregate Formula Amount or (Y) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Letter of Credit Exposure.

15.5 Transfers and Assignments; Replacement of Certain Lenders.

(a) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender. No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except: (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.5(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.5(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.5(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 15.5(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of each of the Agent, the Lenders and the respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of such Affiliates of each of the Agent, the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Transfer of Commitments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of any Commitment hereunder and the Advances at the time owing to such Lender); provided, however that: (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment hereunder and the Advances at the time owing to such Lender or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as

118

of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), in the case of any assignment in respect of Revolving Advances unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowing Agent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advances or the Commitment hereunder assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in or among separate Advances on a non-pro rata basis; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment or Advance hereunder must be approved by the Agent and the Issuer unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with an existing Commitment or Advance, as applicable (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to Section 15.5(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 15.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 15.5(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 15.5(d).

(c) Maintenance of Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its office in Cleveland, Ohio, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Loan Party or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Loan Party, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Advances owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, further, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the

119

Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 15.3 that affects such Participant. Each Loan Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III, and Article XV to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.5. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.3 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10(c) as though it were a Lender.

A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section 15.5(d) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.5 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.13 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Pledge of Interests. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Replacement of Notes. Each Borrower shall execute and deliver: (i) to the Agent, the transferor and the transferee, any consent or release (of all or a portion of the obligations of the transferor) to be delivered in connection with each Assignment and Assumption, (ii) if a Lender’s entire Revolving Commitment and all of its Revolving Advances, have been transferred to the transferee, appropriate replacement notes against return of the Notes (each marked “replaced”) held by the transferor and (iii) if only a portion of a Lender’s interest in its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Advances has been transferred, replacement notes to each of the transferor and the transferee against return of the original such Notes of the transferor (each marked “replaced”) held by the transferor; provided, however, that, simultaneously with the Borrowers’ delivery of new Notes pursuant to this Section 15.5(f), the transferor Lender will deliver to the Borrowers any Note being replaced in whole or in part, and each such Note delivered by the transferor Lender shall be conspicuously marked “replaced” when so delivered.

(g) Replacement of Certain Lenders. If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender hereunder or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.13, then, the Borrowers may, at the such Lender’s sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 15.5(b)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, however, that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, 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 the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts). None of the Lenders shall be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(h) Replacement of Non-Consenting Lenders. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent hereunder pursuant to Section 15.2 (i) requiring the

120

consent of all Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of all Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained or (ii) requiring the consent of Required Lenders, the consent of Lenders holding fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the applicable threshold, is obtained but the consent of Required Lenders is not obtained (any Lender withholding consent as described in clause (i) and (ii) hereof being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Agent may, at the sole expense of the Borrowers, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Borrowers, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 15.5(b)), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, however, that such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances, 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 the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts).

15.6 Application of Payments.

Except to the extent expressly otherwise provided in Sections 1.8, 11.7 and 14.2, the Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof makes a payment or the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Loan Party’s or any Subsidiary’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent, such Lender or the Issuer.

15.7 Indemnity.

Each Loan Party shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender, the Issuer and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, employees and agents 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 reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Loan Documents, whether or not the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer is a party thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party being indemnified.

Unless the context of this Agreement would indicate otherwise, an Approved Electronic Communication shall satisfy any requirement for a writing. Any such Notice must be delivered to the applicable parties hereto at the addresses and numbers set forth in this Agreement or in accordance with any subsequent unrevoked Notice from any such party that is given in accordance with this Section 15.8.

(b) Effectiveness of Notices. All Notices shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by mail, four (4) days after being deposited with the United States Postal Service, with first-class postage prepaid, return receipt requested, (iii) if delivered by posting to an Approved Electronic Platform, an internet website or a similar telecommunication device requiring that a user have prior access to such Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device (to the extent permitted by Section 13.7 to be delivered thereunder), when such Notice shall have been made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, internet website or similar device to the party being notified (regardless of whether such party must accomplish, and whether or not such party shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of confidentiality) and such party has been notified that such communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform, (iv) if delivered by other Approved

(c) Concurrent Notice. Any Lender or the Issuer giving a Notice to the Borrowing Agent or a Loan Party shall concurrently send a copy thereof to the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify the other Lenders and the Issuer of its receipt of such Notice.

15.9 Notice by Approved Electronic Communications.

The Agent, the Issuer, each Lender and each of their Affiliates is authorized to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion (but shall not be required to do so), by Approved Electronic Communications in connection with this Agreement or any Other Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein. Each of the Loan Parties, the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the use of Approved Electronic Communications is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing each of the Agent, the Issuer, each Lender and each of their Affiliates to transmit Approved Electronic Communications.

No Approved Electronic Communications shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically. Approved Electronic Communications that are not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such Approved Electronic Communication, an E-Signature, upon which the Agent, the Issuer, each Lender and the Loan Parties may rely and assume the authenticity thereof. Each Approved Electronic Communication containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original. Each E-Signature shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and each Approved Electronic Communication shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to this Agreement, any Other Loan Document, the Uniform Commercial Code, the Federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural law governing such subject matter. Each party or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of an Approved Electronic Communication or E-Signature under the provisions of any applicable law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether an Approved Electronic Communication or E-Signature has been altered after transmission.

15.10 Survival.

The obligations of the Loan Parties under Sections 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 4.17(e), 13.8, and 15.12 and Article XIV shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.

123

15.11 Severability.

If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

15.12 Expenses.

Each Loan Party agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of (a) the Agent (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel or other advisors for the Agent and including internal counsel) in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, forbearance and waiver of this Agreement and the Other Loan Documents, and (b) the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuer (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel or other advisors) in connection with (i) any workout or restructuring of the Obligations or (ii) the enforcement of, the exercise of remedies under, or the preservation of rights and remedies under this Agreement or any of the Other Loan Documents (including any collection, bankruptcy or other enforcement proceedings arising with respect to any Loan Party, this Agreement, or any Event of Default under this Agreement). Each Loan Party further agrees to pay to the Agent on demand all usual and customary fees and expenses which the Agent incurs in connection with (a) the forwarding of Advance proceeds and (b) the establishment and maintenance of any Collection Accounts as provided for in Section 4.14(g).

15.13 Injunctive Relief.

Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders and/or the Issuer. Therefore, the Agent, if the Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

15.14 Consequential Damages.

None of the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to the Loan Parties, for any special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations.

15.15 Captions.

The captions at various places in this Agreement are intended for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this Agreement.

15.16 Counterparts; Telecopied Signatures.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

15.19 No Sharing of Information Without Consent.

Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to any Loan Party or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender, the Issuer or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender or the Issuer. None of the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer is authorized to share any information delivered to such Lender or the Issuer or the Agent by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender or the Issuer or the Agent to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender or the Issuer or the Agent, without the prior written consent of the Borrower Agent..

Each Lender, the Issuer or assignee or participant of a Lender or the Issuer that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA Patriot Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United states or foreign country and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign

125

Each Loan Party, each Lender and the Issuer hereby further authorizes the Agent to disclose information relating to this Agreement to Gold Sheets, and other similar bank trade publications, with such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications.

15.22 Judgment Currency.

(a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any of the Notes in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”) the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency at the Payment Office on the second Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of any Borrower or any Loan Party in respect of any sum due in the Original Currency from it to any Lender, the Issuer or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any Other Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, the Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency such Lender, the Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars with such Other Currency; if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, the Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Borrower and/or any other applicable Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender, the Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender, the Issuer or the Agent (as the case may be) in the Original Currency, such Lender, the Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the applicable Borrower or other Loan Party such excess.

15.23 Waiver of Jury Trial and Submission to Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG THE PARTIES OR ANY THEREOF, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state court or federal court of

Nothing in this agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any Other Loan Document in the courts of any jurisdiction.

Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to such Loan Party at its address set forth in Section 15.8 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States, or, at the Agent’s option, by service upon such Loan Party. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of the Agent, any Lender or the Issuer to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
