(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall bear all risk of loss resulting from the payment of any Draft, or any resulting disbursement of a Revolving Loan, whether or not due to the negligence, misconduct or fraud of any Manufacturer or Auction House. (c) The Fronting Lender shall not be obligated to terminate or suspend the Drafting privileges of any Manufacturer or Auction House under any Drafting Agreement or pursuant to any other Drafting arrangement (whether in writing or oral) even though the aggregate amount of Drafts that may be presented by such Manufacturer or Auction House under such Drafting Agreement or pursuant to such other Drafting arrangement 20 may exceed the availability in effect (under such Drafting Agreement, such other Drafting arrangement or this Agreement) from time to time. Furthermore, (i) any limitation contained in any Drafting Agreement (whether in respect of daily Drafts to be presented or otherwise) or other Drafting arrangement is, for the purposes hereof, for informational purposes only and the Fronting Lender shall not be obligated to monitor or limit the amount of Drafts presented or honored on the basis of any such limitation and (ii) any right of the Fronting Lender, acting in its discretion and not at the direction or with the concurrence of the Required Lenders, to terminate or suspend Drafting privileges of any Manufacturer or Auction House or to otherwise exercise any right or remedy shall be for the sole benefit and protection of the Fronting Lender, and the Fronting Lender shall not owe any duty to any other Lender with respect to such rights or remedies or be required to exercise such rights or remedies to protect any other Lender. (d) The Fronting Lender (in its sole and absolute discretion) may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any Draft presented by a Person not a party to any Drafting Agreement and/or accept any Draft presented otherwise than in accordance with the terms of a Drafting Agreement. 2.7.2 Participations in Drafting Agreements and Drafts; Funding. Concurrently with the issuance of each Drafting Agreement and/or the funding of each Draft (other than the funding of any Draft that is a Fronting Lender Advance), the Fronting Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Fronting Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage, in such Drafting Agreement or funded Draft and the Borrower's reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, which participation shall be funded by each Revolving Lender making the Revolving Loans specified in this Section or otherwise funding its participation if Revolving Loans may not then be made. For the purposes of this Agreement, the unparticipated portion of each Drafting Agreement or funded Draft shall be deemed to be the Fronting Lender's "participation" therein. If the Fronting Lender makes any payment or disbursement under any Draft, the Revolving Lenders will, upon receipt of notice of such payment or disbursement from the Agent, immediately (and by no later than 2:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the Business Day of receipt of such notice if such Revolving Lender receives such notice by 10:00 a.m., Detroit time, on such Business Day, otherwise by 2:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the following Business Day) and without any request by or notice to the Borrower, provide for the payment of any reimbursement obligations due to the Fronting Lender by making Revolving Loans (in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages) in the amount thereof, the proceeds of which Revolving Loans shall be paid to the Agent to be paid over to the Fronting Lender; provided that if for any reason the Revolving Lenders may not then make Revolving Loans, then instead of making Revolving Loans each Revolving Lender (other than the Fronting Lender) shall become immediately obligated to fund its participation in all funded Drafts and shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Fronting Lender an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of such funded Drafts. Further, if, after the time any Fronting Lender Advance is made by the Fronting Lender, the Revolving Outstandings are less than the Revolving Commitment Amount, then, to the extent of such deficiency, such Fronting Lender Advance shall cease to be a Fronting Lender Advance and each Revolving Lender shall transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the Fronting Lender such Revolving Lender's Revolving 21 Percentage of such deficiency as a Revolving Loan (such advance of funds by such Revolving Lender shall be made to the Agent by 2:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the Business Day of receipt of the notice referred to below, if it receives notice from the Agent of such deficiency by 10:00 a.m., Detroit time, on such Business Day, otherwise such Revolving Lender shall transfer such funds by 2:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the following Business Day); provided that if for any reason the Revolving Lenders may not then make Revolving Loans, then instead of making Revolving Loans each Revolving Lender (other than the Fronting Lender) shall become immediately obligated to fund its participation in such Fronting Lender Advances that have ceased to be the same and shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Fronting Lender an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of such Fronting Lender Advances that have ceased to be the same. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders set forth in the two immediately preceding sentences are irrevocable and unconditional as more fully set forth in Section 2.7.4. All interest that accrues or is earned on any Revolving Lender's participation interest in any funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance prior to the date that such Revolving Lender fully funds such participation interest, as set forth above, shall be paid to and retained by the Fronting Lender for its own account. Until the Fronting Lender has been paid the full amount of any Revolving Lender's participation interest in any funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance, any principal payments that are to be applied to such funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance shall be paid to and retained by the Fronting Lender for its own account. Any Revolving Lender's failure to make available to the Agent its Revolving Percentage of any such payment or disbursement shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent such other Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of such payment, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available to the Agent such other Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of any such payment or disbursement. 2.7.3 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Fronting Lender for Drafts accepted hereunder, and to repay any Revolving Loan funded to pay a Draft, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Draft or any Drafting Agreement or any other Drafting arrangement (whether in writing or oral) or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document; (c) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Company, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary may have at any time against any Manufacturer or Auction House or any other beneficiary or transferee of any Draft or Drafting Agreement or other Drafting arrangement (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or such transferee may be acting), the Fronting Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents or any unrelated transaction; (d) any Draft or any demand, certificate or other document presented to the Fronting Lender proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect, or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a Draft; (e) any payment by the Fronting Lender on any Draft pursuant to any Drafting Agreement or other Drafting arrangement against presentation of a Draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of any Drafting Agreement or other Drafting arrangement or any payment made by the Fronting Lender under any Draft to any 22 trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of a successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Draft, including any arising in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; (f) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from all or any of the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Draft or Drafting Agreement or other Drafting arrangement; or (g) any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Fronting Lender for a Draft accepted hereunder or to repay any Revolving Loan funded to pay such funded Draft if the Fronting Lender engaged in willful misconduct in accepting such Draft. For the avoidance of doubt, the following actions or failures to act shall not, in and of themselves, be willful misconduct by the Fronting Lender: (i) accepting a Draft without requesting or reviewing supporting documentation from the Person submitting such Draft, (ii) failing to monitor or limit the amount of Drafts presented or honored or (iii) providing incorrect information as to the availability in effect under any Drafting Agreement, any other Drafting Arrangement (whether in writing or oral) or this Agreement. 2.7.4 Participation Obligations Unconditional. Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make available to the Agent for the account of the Fronting Lender the amount of its participation interest in any funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance as provided in Section 2.7.2 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against the Fronting Lender or any other Person, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (iv) any termination of the Commitments, (v) whether or not the conditions specified in Section 10 have been satisfied or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever. 2.7.5 Repayment of Participations. Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for the account of the Fronting Lender of immediately available funds from or on behalf of the Borrower (a) in reimbursement of any funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance with respect to which a Revolving Lender has paid the Agent in full for the account of the Fronting Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender's participation therein or (b) in payment of any interest on a funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance with respect to which a Revolving Lender has paid the Agent in full for the account of the Fronting Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender's participation therein, the Agent will pay to such Revolving Lender its pro rata share (according to its Revolving Percentage) thereof (and the Fronting Lender shall receive the amount otherwise payable to any Revolving Lender which did not so pay the Agent the amount of such Revolving Lender's participation in such funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance). All interest that accrues or is earned on any Revolving Lender's participation interest in any funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance prior to the date that such Revolving Lender fully funds its participation interest, as set forth above in Section 2.7.2, shall be paid to and retained by the Fronting Lender for its own account. Until the Fronting Lender has been paid the full amount of any Revolving Lender's participation interest in any funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance, any principal payments that are to be applied to such funded Draft or Fronting Lender Advance shall be paid to and retained by the Fronting Lender for its own account. 23 2.8 Swing Line Loan Procedures. 2.8.1 Generally. Concurrently with the making of each Swing Line Loan, the Fronting Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Fronting Lender, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such other Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage, in such Swing Line Loan (but such participation shall remain unfunded until required to be funded pursuant to Section 2.8.2). 2.8.2 Refunding of, or Funding of Participations in, Swing Line Loans. The Fronting Lender may at any time, in its sole discretion, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Fronting Lender to act on its behalf) deliver a notice to the Agent requesting that each Revolving Lender (including the Fronting Lender in its individual capacity) make a Revolving Loan in such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding on such date for the purpose of repaying all Swing Line Loans (and, upon receipt of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Agent shall apply such proceeds to repay Swing Line Loans) (each Revolving Lender shall make its advance under this Section by no later than 2:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the Business Day of receipt of such notice of borrowing pursuant to this Section if such Revolving Lender receives such notice by 10:00 a.m., Detroit time, on such Business Day, otherwise by 2:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the following Business Day); provided that if for any reason the Revolving Lenders may not then make Revolving Loans, then instead of making Revolving Loans each Revolving Lender (other than the Fronting Lender) shall become immediately obligated to fund its participation in all outstanding Swing Line Loans and shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Fronting Lender an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of such Swing Line Loans. Any Revolving Lender's failure to make available to the Agent its Revolving Percentage of the amount of all outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent such other Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of such amount, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make available to the Agent such other Revolving Lender's Revolving Percentage of any such amount. 2.8.3 Repayment of Participations. Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for the account of the Fronting Lender of immediately available funds from or on behalf of the Borrower (a) in reimbursement of any Swing Line Loan with respect to which a Revolving Lender has paid the Agent in full for the account of the Fronting Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender's participation therein or (b) in payment of any interest on a Swing Line Loan with respect to which a Revolving Lender has paid the Agent in full for the account of the Fronting Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender's participation therein, the Agent will pay to such Revolving Lender its pro rata share (according to its Revolving Percentage) thereof (and the Fronting Lender shall receive the amount otherwise payable to any Revolving Lender which did not so pay the Agent the amount of such Revolving Lender's participation in such Swing Line Loan). All interest that accrues or is earned on any Revolving Lender's participation interest in any Swing Line Loan prior to the date that such Revolving Lender fully funds its participation interest, as set forth above in Section 2.8.2, shall be paid to and retained by the Fronting Lender for its own account. Until the Fronting Lender has been paid the full amount of any Revolving Lender's participation interest in any Swing Line Loan, any principal payments 24 that are to be applied to such Swing Line Loan shall be paid to and retained by the Fronting Lender for its own account. 2.8.4 Participation Obligations Unconditional. Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make available to the Agent for the account of the Fronting Lender the amount of its participation interest in all Swing Line Loans as provided in Section 2.8.2 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender may have against the Fronting Lender or any other Person, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, (iv) any termination of the Commitments, (v) whether or not the conditions specified in Section 10 have been satisfied or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever. 2.9 Fronting Lender Advances. The Fronting Lender is authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in the Fronting Lender's sole and absolute discretion, to accept Drafts in an amount that would cause the Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount (the amount by which any such Draft would so cause the Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount being a "Fronting Lender Advance"). To the extent that the funding of any such Draft does not cause the Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount, no Fronting Lender Advance shall be created and such Draft shall constitute part of the Revolving Outstandings. The Fronting Lender Advances shall be secured by the Collateral Documents and guarantied under Section 14 and under the Guaranty. 2.10 Commitments Several. The failure of any Lender to make a requested Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation (if any) to make a Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan to be made by such other Lender. 2.11 Certain Conditions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Loan (other than Revolving Loans funded to pay to the Fronting Lender the participation obligations of the Revolving Lenders in respect of Drafts and Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans to repay Fronting Lender Advances that have ceased to be the same, all as set forth above), and the Fronting Lender shall not have any obligation to issue any Drafting Agreement, fund any Draft or make a Swing Line Loan, if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 2.12 Extension of Termination Date. The Termination Date shall be automatically extended on each anniversary of the Initial Closing Date for one year unless the Borrower or any Lender shall notify the Agent in writing prior to such anniversary that it does not wish to extend the Termination Date for an additional year (such notice a "No-Extension Notice"). The Agent shall promptly provide written notice of its receipt of a No-Extension Notice to the other parties hereto. 25 SECTION 3. NOTES EVIDENCING LOANS. 3.1 Notes. The Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note (each a "Note") substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of such Lender in full on the Termination Date; provided that no new Notes will be issued to the Lenders on the Amendment Effective Date as the promissory notes issued to the Lenders on the Initial Closing Date continue in full force and effect. 3.2 Recordkeeping. Each Lender shall record in its records, or at its option on the schedule attached to its Note, the date and amount of each Loan made by such Lender and each repayment thereof. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on such Note. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans evidenced by such Note together with all interest accruing thereon. SECTION 4. INTEREST. 4.1 Interest Rate. The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full at the applicable Interest Rate. 4.2 Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears for each month on the 10th Business Day of the next succeeding month and at maturity. After maturity (whether as a result of acceleration or otherwise), accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand. 4.3 Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days. SECTION 5. FEES. 5.1 Agent's Fee. Each Lender hereto that is not DCSNA acknowledges and agrees that the Agent may deduct from interest payments received by it from the Borrower an amount equal to 0.15% per annum of the daily unpaid principal amount of the Loans of such Lender for the period from the later of the Amendment Effective Date or the last day on which such fee was paid to the date the Agent receives such interest as payment of the Agent's fee hereunder, and that all payments of interest to such Lenders by the Agent shall be net of such amount; it being understood and agreed that prior to the Amendment Effective Date, the reference to 0.15% per annum was a reference to 0.10% per annum and that such percentage (i.e., 0.10% per annum) applied to the period prior to the Amendment Effective Date. 5.2 Computation of Fees. All fees hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days. 26 SECTION 6. REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE REVOLVING COMMITMENT AMOUNT; PREPAYMENTS. 6.1 Voluntary Reduction or Termination of Revolving Commitment Amount. The Borrower may from time to time on at least one Business Day's prior written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) permanently reduce the Revolving Commitment Amount to an amount not less than the Revolving Outstandings. Concurrently with any reduction of the Revolving Commitment Amount to zero, the Borrower shall pay all interest on the Revolving Loans and shall Cash Collateralize in full all amounts estimated by the Fronting Lender as being potentially payable under all Drafting Agreements and all other Drafting arrangements (whether in writing or oral) then existing with any Manufacturer or Auction House. All reductions of the Revolving Commitment Amount shall reduce the Revolving Commitments pro rata among the Revolving Lenders according to their respective Revolving Percentages. 6.2 Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, with no advance notice, from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Fronting Lender Advances, if such prepayment is effected through the EFT System (it being understood and agreed that payments through the EFT System must be entered and transmitted by no later than 3:00 p.m., Detroit time, on a Business Day); provided that if the Borrower makes a prepayment on the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans or Fronting Lender Advances other than through the EFT System or, if the Revolving Outstandings immediately prior to such prepayment exceed $100,000,000, in an amount that would reduce the Revolving Outstandings to (or to an amount less than) $100,000,000 (even if such payment is effected through the EFT System), it must give the Agent notice no later than 12:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the Business Day prior to the date of such prepayment; provided, further, that all prepayments pursuant to this sentence may be made without premium or penalty and are permitted to be made in order to prepay the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Fronting Lender Advances, in whole or in part. The Borrower may, by giving notice to the Agent no later than 12:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the Business Day prior to the date of prepayment, but only if no Fronting Lender Advances, Swing Line Loans or Revolving Loans are outstanding, prepay the entire (but not less than the entire) outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans, without premium or penalty. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section shall be made together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount paid. Reference is made to Section 7.2 for the application of prepayments pursuant to this Section. 6.3 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If on any day 130% of the Outstandings exceeds the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall, before the close of business on the following Business Day, prepay Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess or prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize all Drafting Agreements and all other Drafting arrangements (whether in writing or oral) with Manufacturers and Auction Houses in an amount determined by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. (b) If on any day on which the Revolving Commitment Amount is reduced pursuant to Section 6.1, the Revolving Outstandings exceed the Revolving Commitment Amount, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess or prepay Revolving Loans and/or Cash Collateralize all Drafting Agreements and all 27 other Drafting arrangements (whether in writing or oral) with Manufacturers and Auction Houses in an amount determined by the Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. SECTION 7. MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SETOFF; TAXES. 7.1 Making of Payments. All payments by the Borrower of (a) interest on any Loans and (b) principal on any Fronting Lender Advance, Swing Line Loan or Revolving Loan, may be effected through the EFT System by 3:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the date due; provided that if the Borrower makes a payment of interest on any Loan or a payment of principal on any Fronting Lender Advance, Swing Line Loan or Revolving Loan other than through the EFT System, such payment must be made by the Borrower to the Agent in immediately available funds at the office specified by the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the date due and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the following Business Day. All payments of principal on the Term Loans must be made by the Borrower to the Agent in immediately available funds at the office specified by the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the date due; provided that the Borrower will be permitted to make payments of principal on the Term Loans through the EFT System if (i) the Borrower gives the Agent notice of its intention to effect such payment through the EFT System at least two Business Days prior to the date of such payment (and specifies in such notice the date such payment is to be made, which shall be a Business Day) and (ii) such payment is effected through the EFT System not later than 12:00 p.m., Detroit time, on the date specified in such notice. The Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender its share of all such payments received in collected funds by the Agent for the account of such Lender. 7.2 Application of Certain Payments. 7.2.1 At all times that an Event of Default does not exist, each payment of principal (including prepayments under Section 6.2 or 6.3) shall be applied first, to Fronting Lender Advances, second, to Swing Line Loans and funded Drafts for which Revolving Lenders have not yet funded their participations, third, to the Revolving Loans and fourth, to Term Loans. Concurrently with each remittance to any Lender of its share of any such payment, the Agent shall advise such Lender as to the application of such payment. 7.2.2 Any payment made by the Borrower, at any time that the Revolving Outstandings immediately prior to such payment exceed $100,000,000, that would reduce the Revolving Outstandings to (or to an amount less than) $100,000,000 shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the Business Day immediately following the date such payment is received by the Agent, unless the Agent receives one Business Day's prior notice of such payment in accordance with Section 6.2. 7.3 Due Date Extension. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to any of the Loans, or of any fees, falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day and, in the case of principal, additional interest shall accrue and be payable for the period of any such extension. 7.4 Setoff. The Company and the Borrower agree that the Agent and each Lender have all rights of set-off provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, the Company and the 28 Borrower agree that at any time any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists, the Agent and each Lender may apply to the payment of any obligations of the Borrower hereunder, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Company and the Borrower then or thereafter with the Agent or such Lender. The Agent or the Lender exercising the set-off shall promptly notify the Company or the Borrower, as the case may be, thereof after making such exercise; provided that failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the set-off. 7.5 Proration of Payments. Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to Lenders under a particular credit facility hereunder, if any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 13.9) on account of principal of or interest on any Loan (or on account of its exposure under any Draft or Drafting Agreement) in excess of its pro rata share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loans then held by them, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans (or subparticipations in Drafts and Drafting Agreements) held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery. 7.6 Taxes. All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender's net income or receipts (all non-excluded items being called "Taxes"). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower or the Company hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrower or the Company, as applicable, will: (a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (b) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (c) pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by the Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and the Borrower or the Company, as applicable, will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such 29 additional amount) shall equal the amount such Person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted. If the Borrower or the Company, as applicable, fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower or the Company, as applicable, shall indemnify the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 7.6, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower. Each Lender that (a) is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or a state thereof and (b)(i) is a party hereto on the Amendment Effective Date or (ii) becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement under Section 13.9.1 after the Amendment Effective Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Agent one or more (as the Borrower or the Agent may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or such other forms or documents, appropriately completed, as may be applicable to establish that such Lender is exempt from withholding or deduction of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 7.6 to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph. SECTION 8. WARRANTIES. To induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and participate in Drafting Agreements issued hereunder and Drafts, and the Fronting Lender to issue Drafting Agreements hereunder and fund Drafts presented to it, each of the Borrower and the Company warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that: 8.1 Organization. The Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia; each Subsidiary of the Company is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; and each of the Company and each Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the nature of its activities or properties, such qualification is required, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 8.2 Authorization; No Conflict. Each of the Borrower, the Company and each other Loan Party is duly authorized to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a party, the Borrower is duly authorized to borrow monies hereunder and each of the Borrower, the Company and each other Loan Party is duly authorized to perform its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party.

None of the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, or any officer thereof, contained in this 52 Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower, the Company or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or Affiliates. 12.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower or the Company), independent accountants and other experts reasonably selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify the Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. 12.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender, the Borrower or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 11; provided that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders. 12.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to 53 extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Company or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Agent. 12.7 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Company and the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Company and the Borrower to do so), pro rata, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Company and the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans, termination of the Commitments, cancellation of the Notes, expiration or termination of the Drafting Agreements, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 12.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. DCSNA and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though DCSNA were not the Agent or the Fronting Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, DCSNA or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Company or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), DCSNA and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though DCSNA were not the Agent or the Fronting Lender, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include DCSNA and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities. 12.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 120 days' notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of the Borrower (which shall not 54 be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 and Sections 13.6 and 13.13 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. 12.10 Collateral Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent under any Collateral Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and the expiration or termination of all Drafting Agreements and all other Drafting arrangements (whether in writing or oral); (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder; or (iii) subject to Section 13.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release particular types or items of collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10. 12.11 Funding Reliance. (a) Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender by noon, Detroit time, on the day of a proposed borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent an amount equal to its pro rata share of such borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower. If and to the extent such Lender has not made such amount available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower jointly and severally agree to repay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising such borrowing or, in the case of any Lender which repays such amount within three Business Days, the Federal Funds Rate. Nothing set forth in this clause (a) shall relieve any Lender of any obligation it may have to make any Loan hereunder. (b) Unless the Agent receives notice from the Borrower prior to the due date for any payment hereunder that the Borrower does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender its share of such payment. If and to the extent that the Borrower has not made any such payment to the Agent, each Lender which received a share of such payment shall repay such share (or the relevant portion thereof) to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate (or, in the case of any Lender which repays such amount within three Business Days, the 55 Federal Funds Rate). Nothing set forth in this clause (b) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to make any payment hereunder. SECTION 13. GENERAL. 13.1 Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by Lenders having an aggregate Total Percentage of not less than the aggregate Total Percentage expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, by the Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, the Lenders authorize the Agent to act within its discretion (and without notice to or the consent of any Lender) to waive or forbear on behalf of all Lenders any noncompliance by the Borrower or the Company (other than a waiver of, or forbearance with respect to, any Event of Default under Section 11.1.4 and other than a waiver of any Event of Default under Section 11.1.1) with this Agreement (provided that no such waiver shall be for a period in excess of 90 days). No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall change the Total Percentage of any Lender without the consent of such Lender. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (i) increase the Revolving Commitment Amount, (ii) extend the date for payment of any principal of or interest on the Loans or any fees payable hereunder, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder, (iv) release the Guaranty, release the Company from the provisions of Section 14 or release all or any substantial part of the collateral granted under the Collateral Documents or (v) reduce the aggregate Total Percentage required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent without, in each case, the consent of all Lenders. No provision of Section 12 or other provision of this Agreement affecting the Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Fronting Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Fronting Lender. 13.2 Confirmations. The Borrower and each holder of a Note agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to the Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding under such Note. 13.3 Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.2, all notices hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Schedule 13.3 or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given three Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received. For purposes of Section 2.2, the Agent shall 56 be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that the Agent in good faith believes is an authorized officer or employee of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall hold the Agent and each other Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance. 13.4 Computations. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied; provided that if the Company notifies the Agent that the Company wishes to amend any covenant in Section 9 to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP or any change in the Company's application of GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the Agent notifies the Company that the Required Lenders wish to amend Section 9 for such purpose), then the Company's compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP or the relevant change in the Company's application of GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company and the Required Lenders. The Company may notify the Agent of any one-time adjustments to its financial statements and after the giving of such notice the Company and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to make arrangements (including, if the Agent determines the same is necessary, entering into an amendment hereto) to take the consequences of such adjustment into account. 13.5 Regulation U. Each Lender represents that it in good faith is not relying, either directly or indirectly, upon any Margin Stock as collateral security for the extension or maintenance by it of any credit provided for in this Agreement. 13.6 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Company and the Borrower jointly and severally agree to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent (including Attorney Costs) in connection with the preparation, execution, syndication, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith (including any amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document), and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent and each Lender after an Event of Default in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any such other documents. In addition, the Company and the Borrower jointly and severally agree to pay, and to save the Agent and the Lenders harmless from all liability for, (a) any stamp or other taxes (excluding income taxes and franchise taxes based on net income) which may be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, the issuance of the Notes or the execution and delivery of any other Loan Document or any other document provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and (b) any fees of the Company's auditors in connection with any exercise by the Agent and the Lenders of their rights pursuant to Section 9.2. All obligations provided for in this Section 13.6 shall survive repayment of the Loans, termination of the Commitments, cancellation of the Notes, expiration of the Drafting Agreements and termination of this Agreement. 57 13.7 Subsidiary References. The provisions of this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall apply only during such times as the Company has one or more Subsidiaries. 13.8 Captions. Section captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement. 13.9 Assignments; Participations. 13.9.1 Assignments. Any Lender may, with the prior written consent of the Agent and (so long as no Event of Default exists) the Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and, in any event, shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates or to any other Lender), at any time assign and delegate to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any Person to whom such an assignment and delegation is to be made being herein called an "Assignee") all or any fraction of such Lender's Loans and Commitment (which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender's Loans and Commitment) in a minimum aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the assigning Lender's Revolving Percentage of the Revolving Commitment Amount plus such Lender's Term Loans and (ii) $50,000,000; provided that (a) no assignment and delegation may be made to any Person if, at the time of such assignment and delegation, the Borrower would be obligated to pay any greater amount under Section 7.6 to the Assignee than the Borrower is then obligated to pay to the assigning Lender under such Section (and if any assignment is made in violation of the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to pay the incremental amounts) and (b) the Borrower and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until the date when all of the following conditions shall have been met: (x) five Business Days (or such lesser period of time as the Agent and the assigning Lender shall agree) shall have passed after written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower and the Agent by such assigning Lender and the Assignee, (y) the assigning Lender and the Assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Borrower and the Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G (an "Assignment Agreement"), together with any documents required to be delivered thereunder, which Assignment Agreement shall have been accepted by the Agent, and (z) except in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates, the assigning Lender or the Assignee shall have paid the Agent a processing fee of $3,500. From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (x) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its obligations 58 hereunder. Within five Business Days after effectiveness of any assignment and delegation, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent (for delivery to the Assignee) a new Note (unless the Assignee was already a holder of a Note immediately prior to such effectiveness). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Note being assigned shall be paid as provided in the Assignment Agreement. Accrued interest and fees on that part of the predecessor Note not being assigned shall be paid to the assigning Lender. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be paid at the same time or times provided in the predecessor Note and in this Agreement. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 13.9.1 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.9.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder). 13.9.2 Participations. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, the Note held by such Lender, the Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder (any Person purchasing any such participating interest being herein called a "Participant"). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (x) such Lender shall remain the holder of its Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (y) the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations hereunder and (z) all amounts payable by the Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any of the events described in the fourth sentence of Section 13.1. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or such Note; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 7.5. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.6 as if it were a Lender (provided that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 7.6 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold). 13.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and each Note shall be a contract made under and governed by the laws of the State of Michigan applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. Whenever possible each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. All obligations 59 of the Borrower and the Company and rights of the Agent and the Lenders expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. 13.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. 13.12 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Company, the Lenders and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Company, the Lenders and the Agent and the successors and assigns of the Lenders and the Agent. 13.13 Indemnification by the Company and the Borrower. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Agent and the Lenders and the agreement to extend the Commitments provided hereunder, the Company and the Borrower hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify, exonerate and hold the Agent, each Lender and each of the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents of the Agent and each Lender (each a "Lender Party") free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including Attorney Costs (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by the Lender Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any tender offer, merger, purchase of stock, purchase of assets or other similar transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans, (ii) the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any hazardous substance at any property owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) any violation of any Environmental Law with respect to conditions at any property owned or leased by the Company or any Subsidiary or the operations conducted thereon, (iv) the investigation, cleanup or remediation of offsite locations at which the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of hazardous substances (it being understood that such indemnity shall not apply to the extent any such liabilities are finally determined by a court to have been caused by a Lender Party's involvement at such offsite location) or (v) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Lender Parties, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of the applicable Lender Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company and the Borrower hereby jointly and severally agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. All obligations provided for in this Section 13.13 shall survive repayment of the Loans, termination of the Commitments, cancellation of the Notes, expiration of the Drafting Agreements, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents and termination of this Agreement. 13.14 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lenders and the Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibility to the Borrower or the 60 Company. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Company or the Borrower to review or inform the Company or the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Company's or the Borrower's business or operations. Each of the Borrower and the Company agrees that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower or the Company (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower or the Company in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Borrower and the Company hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the Borrower or the Company in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. 13.15 Consent to Jurisdiction. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE COMPANY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. EACH OF THE BORROWER AND THE COMPANY HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 13.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE COMPANY, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY LENDING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. 13.17 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to take, and to cause its Affiliates to take, normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all non-public information provided to it by the Company or any Subsidiary or by Circuit City, or by the Agent on the Company's or any Subsidiary's or Circuit City's behalf, under this 61 Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither such Lender nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Company or any Subsidiary or Circuit City, except to the extent such information was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Lender or was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company, a Subsidiary or Circuit City (provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary known to such Lender); provided, however, that any Lender may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any governmental authority to which such Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority, (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process, when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable requirement of law, (C) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates may be party, (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (E) to such Lender's independent auditors and other professional advisors, (F) to any participant or assignee, actual or potential, provided that such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder, (G) as to any Lender or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Company, any Subsidiary or Circuit City is party or is deemed party with such Lender or such Affiliate, (H) to its Affiliates and (I) to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Lender's investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued to such Lender. SECTION 14. GUARANTY. 14.1 The Guaranty. The Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (as primary obligor and not merely as surety) to the Lenders and the Agent, and to each of them, the due and punctual payment, observance and performance of all of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise, according to the terms hereof and thereof, and the Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to cause payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations to be made punctually as and when the same shall become due upon demand. This guaranty shall be of payment and performance and not of collection merely. 14.2 Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Company under this Section 14 shall be continuing, unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by: (a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation, by operation of law or otherwise; (b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any Loan Document; 62 (c) 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, for any Guaranteed Obligation; (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation; (e) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which the Company may have at any time against the Borrower, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether or not arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party for any reason of the whole or any provision of any Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law purporting to prohibit the payment or performance by the Borrower of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (g) any other act or omission of any kind to act or delay by the Borrower, any other Loan Party, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 14.2, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of the Company under this Section 14. 14.3 Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances.
