ARTICLE II
THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01         Loan Commitments.

(a)           Revolving Credit Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers from time to time during the Availability Period for the Revolving Credit Facility, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the lesser of (x) such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, or (y) such Lender's Applicable Percentage of the Borrowing Base; subject in each case to the following limitations:

(i)            after giving effect to any Revolving Borrowing, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount minus the Reserves and (B) the Borrowing Base,

(ii)           the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, and
 
-46-

(iii)          the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not at any time exceed the Swing Line Sublimit.

Within the limits of each Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay under the terms of this Agreement, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).

(b)           Overadvances.  If the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Borrowing Base ("Overadvance") at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrowers on demand by Agent, but all such Revolving Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents.  Any funding or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver of the Event of Default caused thereby.

(c)           Term A Loan Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make a Term A Loan to the Borrowers on the Closing Date, in an amount not to exceed such Lender's Term A Loan Commitment.  The advance of the Term A Loan shall be made simultaneously by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the Term A Loan Facility. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(c) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(d)           Term B Loan Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make a Term B Loan to the Borrowers on the Closing Date, in an amount not to exceed such Lender's Term B Loan Commitment.  The advance of the Term B Loan shall be made simultaneously by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages of the Term B Loan Facility. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(d) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(e)           Protective Advances.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at any time (1) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (2) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V  hereof or otherwise are not satisfied, Agent is authorized by each Borrower and each Lender, from time to time, in Agent's Permitted Discretion, to make such Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers, as Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or reasonably desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (ii) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.01(e) shall be referred to as "Protective Advances"); provided, that in no event shall a Protective Advance be made or permitted to continue to the extent it would cause Total Revolving Credit Outstanding to exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent may disburse the proceeds of any Protective Advance to a Borrower or to such other Person(s) as Agent determines in its sole discretion.  All Protective Advances shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder, shall bear interest at the rate applicable to all other Revolving Loans and shall be payable within three (3) Business Days of written demand therefor.  Agent's determination that funding or permitting a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.  Each Revolving Lender's obligation to fund its Applicable Percentage of any Protective Advance permitted hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) the failure of any conditions set forth in Article V hereof to be satisfied, (B) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against Agent, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (C) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (D) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section 2.01(e) nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.
 
-47-

(f)           Excess Cash on Hand.  Borrower may not request a Revolving Loan if after giving effect to such Revolving Loan and the contemporaneous use of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount of Borrowers' cash and Cash Equivalents would exceed $250,000.

2.02         Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a)           Each Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower's irrevocable notice to Agent, which may be given by telephone or other electronic method satisfactory to Agent.  Each such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing.  Each telephonic notice by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent.

(b)          Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice for a Facility, Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage under such Facility of the applicable Loans.  In the case of a Term Loan Borrowing or Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to Agent in immediately available funds at Agent's Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 5.01), Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds as received by Agent either by wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) Agent by the Borrower Agent; provided, however, that if, on the date a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Revolving Credit Borrowing is given by the Borrower Agent, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the Borrowers as provided above.  The Borrower Agent shall, from time to time as appropriate, deliver to Agent a complete and executed Authorized Accounts Form regarding Borrowers' operating account(s) into which the proceeds of Loans are to be paid in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto.

(c)          Subject only to Section 3.02 and Section 3.03, all Loans shall constitute Eurodollar Loans.  In the event that the Eurodollar Rate cannot be utilized as a reference rate for the Loans as described in Section 3.02 and/or Section 3.03, all Loans shall constitute Base Rate Loans.

(d)          Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Agent and each Lender of the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders of any change in Agent's prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e)           Borrowers and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, in Agent's sole discretion, to advance to Borrowers, and/or to pay and charge to Borrowers' Loan Account hereunder, all sums necessary to pay (i) any interest accrued on the Obligations when due and to pay all fees, costs and expenses and other Obligations at any time owed by any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender hereunder and (ii) any service charge or Credit Party Expenses when due.  Agent shall advise the Borrower Agent of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof.  Such action on the part of Agent shall not constitute a waiver of Agent's rights and the Borrowers' obligations under Section 2.05(b)(v).  Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this Section 2.02(e) shall constitute Revolving Loans (notwithstanding the failure of the Borrowers to satisfy any of the conditions to Credit Extensions in Section 5.02) and Obligations hereunder and shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable hereunder to all other Revolving Loans.

(i)            Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the earlier to occur of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or the termination of the Availability Period, to issue Letters of Credit at the request of the Borrower Agent for the account of the Borrowers, and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Revolving Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrowers and any drawings thereunder; provided that the L/C Issuer shall not be obligated to make any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Revolving Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit, if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (A) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Borrowing Base, (B) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings of any Revolving Lender would exceed such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, minus its allocable portion of the Reserves, (C) the aggregate Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount, minus the Reserves, or (D) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Each request by the Borrower Agent for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower Agent that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers' ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(ii)          The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:

(B)          the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Revolving Lenders have approved such expiry date;

(iii)         The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A)          any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; or
 
-49-

(C)          such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $10,000; or

(D)          any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer's actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(iv)         The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v)          The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi)         The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to Agent in Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Agent" as used in Article X included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

(b)           Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto‑Extension Letters of Credit.

(i)            Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower Agent delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent and, if applicable, of the applicable Borrower.  Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the L/C Issuer and Agent may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be.  In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer:  (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing or presentation thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing or presentation thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require.  In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require.  Additionally, the Borrower Agent shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or Agent may require.
 
-50-

(ii)           Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the applicable Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide Agent with a copy thereof.  Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, Agent or any Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer's usual and customary business practices.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii)          If the Borrower Agent so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit other than a commercial Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an "Auto‑Extension Letter of Credit"); provided that any such Auto‑Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve‑month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the "Non-Extension Notice Date") in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued.  Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower Agent shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension.

(iv)         Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to Agent and the Borrower Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(c)           Drawings and Reimbursements.

(i)            Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing or presentation of documents under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify Agent and the Borrower Agent thereof.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an "Honor Date"), any Borrower shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through Agent in Dollars and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  If the Borrowers fail so to reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing or payment (the "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount of such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof.  In such event, the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of Revolving Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Revolving Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment of all Lenders and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice).  Agent is irrevocably authorized at any time to make a Revolving Loan to fund an L/C Borrowing.
 
-51-

(ii)           Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, for Dollar denominated payments an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers in such amount.  Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.

(iii)          With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  In such event, each Revolving Lender's payment to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

(iv)          Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

(v)           Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi)          If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the overnight rate (determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation) from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing.  A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
-52-

(d)          Repayment of Participations.  At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Revolving Lender's L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by Agent), Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in Dollars (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender's L/C Advance was outstanding) and in the same funds as those received by Agent.

(e)          Obligations Absolute.  The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit, and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be joint and several and absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i)            any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)           the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii)          any draft, demand, certificate or other document or endorsement  presented under or in connection with such Letter of Credit 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 drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv)          any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(v)           any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any Subsidiary.
 
-53-

(f)           Role of the L/C Issuer.  Each Revolving Lender and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit.  The L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument endorsing, transferring or assigning or purporting to endorse, transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g)          Applicability of ISP and UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower Agent, when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(h)          Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to the L/C Issuer.  If required by the L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%), computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit (a "Fronting Fee"), and payable upon the issuance or renewal (automatic or otherwise)  thereof or upon any amendment increasing the amount thereof.  In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit issued by it as from time to time in effect.  Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(i)           Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(j)           Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary or any other Borrower, each Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries or any other Borrower inures to the benefit of such Borrower, and that such Borrower's business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries or other Borrower.

2.04        Repayment of Loans.

(a)          Revolving Loans.  The Borrowers shall repay to Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such date plus any interest then due and all other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has then been made).

(b)          Term A Loan. The Borrowers shall repay to Agent, for the account of each Term A Lender, the Term A Loan in monthly installments equal to the Term A Loan Amortization Amount on the last day of each month, commencing with November 30, 2017, with a final scheduled installment on the Maturity Date in the amount equal to the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loan.

(c)          Term B Loan. The Borrowers shall repay to Agent, for the account of each Term B Lender, the Term B Loan in monthly installments equal to the Term B Loan Amortization Amount on the last day of each month, commencing with November 30, 2017, with a final scheduled installment on the Maturity Date in the amount equal to the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Term B Loan.

(d)           Swing Line Loans.  The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) each refinancing date arising under Section 2.17(c) and (ii) the Maturity Date.

2.05         Prepayments.

(a)           Optional. The Borrowers may, upon notice to Agent from the Borrower, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that: (A) such notice must be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; and (B) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower Agent, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.

(b)           Mandatory.

(i)           Asset Dispositions.  If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property (other than any Disposition of any property permitted by Sections 8.05(f) and 8.05(g), or a Disposition arising from an Event of Loss with respect to any Real Estate (which is governed by Section 7.08)) which results in the realization by such Person of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (including any WJS Net Proceeds) within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof by such Person; provided, however, that  with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized under a Disposition of any asset or property (other than any Disposition of any property permitted by Section 8.05(f) and 8.05(g) or  a Disposition with respect to any Real Estate) described in this Section 2.05(b)(i), at the election of the Borrowers (as notified by the Borrower Agent to the Lender on or prior to the date of such Disposition), and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in operating assets (the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds to be reinvested, the "Reinvestment Amount") so long as: (A) the Borrower’s purchase of such replacement operating assets is consummated within 180 days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (as certified by the Borrower Agent in writing to the Lender); (B) such replacement operating assets are free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Liens; and (C) any Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in Section 2.05(b)(i).

(ii)           Equity Issuance.  Upon the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any of its Equity Interests (other than any sales or issuances of Equity Interests (A) to another Loan Party, (B) pursuant to any employee incentive plan or (C) pursuant to Section 2.01(c) of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Centrex Side Letter or as a result of a conversion of preferred Equity Interests), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary.

(iii)          Debt Incurrence.  Upon the incurrence or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 8.02), the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary.
 
-55-

(iv)          Extraordinary Receipts.  Upon receipt of any cash or cash equivalents by (or paid to or for the account of) any Loan Party not in the ordinary course of business, including tax refunds, pension plan reversions, Insurance Proceeds (including business interruption insurance), judgments, settlements or other payments in connection with any other Event of Loss, indemnity payments and any purchase price adjustments, and not otherwise included in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) or described in Section 7.08, the Borrowers shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds therefrom immediately upon receipt; provided, however, that with respect to any Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Awards or similar payments (or payments in lieu thereof), or indemnity payments, at the election of the Borrowers (as notified by the Borrower Agent to Agent on or prior to the date of receipt of such Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Awards or indemnity payments), and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary may apply within 180 days after the receipt of such cash proceeds to replace or repair the equipment, fixed assets or real property in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were received; and provided, further, however, that any Net Cash Proceeds not so applied shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(iv).

(v)           Overadvances.  If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the Borrowing Base at such time, the Borrowers shall upon demand prepay Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(v) unless, after the prepayment of the Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount at such time.

(vi)          Application of Mandatory Prepayments.

(A)         Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Facility; provided, that (1) any prepayment resulting from the Disposition of any Equipment shall only be applied to the Term A Loan Facility in the inverse order of maturity until paid in full (without, for the avoidance of doubt, any requirement that the excess be applied to the Revolving Credit Facility), and (2) any prepayment resulting from the Disposition of any Real Estate (other than WJS Net Proceeds, which shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Facility) shall be applied first to the Term B Loan Facility in the inverse order of maturity until paid in full and, thereafter, applied to the Revolving Credit Facility.  All prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be in the manner set forth in clause (B) of this Section 2.05(b)(vi).  No prepayment of the Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.05(b) shall be a permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment or the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

(B)          Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), first, shall be applied ratably to the L/C Borrowings and Swing Line Loans, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Loans, third, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations in the Minimum Collateral Amount and, fourth, the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all L/C Borrowings, Swing Line Loans and Revolving Loans outstanding at such time and the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Obligations in the Minimum Collateral Amount may be retained by the Borrowers for use in the ordinary course of Borrowers' business.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to reimburse Agent.
 
-56-

2.06         Termination or Reduction of Commitment; Termination Fee.
 
(a)           Revolving Credit Commitment.  The Borrowers may, upon notice to Agent from the Borrower Agent, terminate the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, or from time to time permanently reduce the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations not fully Cash Collateralized hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (C) the Swing Line Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans would exceed the Swing Line Sublimit, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction or termination of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(b)          Termination Fee.  If all or any portion of any Facility is voluntarily terminated, or all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount is permanently reduced, in each case on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a one-time payment of the Facility so terminated, or the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount so permanently reduced, as applicable, as follows (such payment being the "Termination Fee"):
 
Date of Termination
Applicable Percent
On or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date
3.00%
After the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date
1.50%
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Termination Fee shall not apply to the amount of the repayment of the Term B Loan Facility from Net Cash Proceeds of a Permitted Sale/Leaseback to the extent consummated on or before August 31, 2017.

The Termination Fee will also be owing and shall be paid by the Borrowers to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, if any Facility is terminated on account of an Event of Default or any acceleration of the Obligations, including by reason of any automatic termination or acceleration as a result of any Insolvency Proceeding (as defined in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) by or against any Borrower, in each case to the extent occurring on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the Termination Fee shall be included as part of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement, and shall be secured by the Collateral.  All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of any Facility shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
 
-57-

2.07         Interest.

(a)           Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below: (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)           (i)            If any amount payable by the Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then all outstanding Loan Obligations shall thereafter (from the time not paid or, if applicable, following the expiration of any applicable grace period) at the discretion of Agent (or at the direction of the Required Lenders) bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(i)            If any other Event of Default exists, then Agent, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require (and notify the Borrowers thereof) that all outstanding Loan Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate.

(ii)           Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)           Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.08         Fees.

(a)           Unused Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a fee (the "Unused Fee") equal to 0.50% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations.  The Unused Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period.  The Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be considered usage of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments for purposes of determining the Unused Fee.
 
-58-

(b)          Letter of Credit Fees.  Subject to the provisions of the last sentence of this subsection (b), the Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, (i) a Letter of Credit fee  ("Letter of Credit Fee") for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans constituting Revolving Loans times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Letter of Credit).  For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07.  The Letter of Credit Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period.  If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.  At all times that the Default Rate shall be applicable to any Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(b), the Letter of Credit Fees payable under this subsection (b) shall accrue and be payable at the Default Rate.

(c)          Closing Fee.  The Borrowers agree to pay to Agent, for its own account, the fees payable in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.

(d)          Generally.  All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to Agent.  Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

2.09        Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11, bear interest for one day.  Each determination by Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.10         Evidence of Debt.

(a)          Loan Account.  The Credit Extensions made by the Lenders shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Agent (the "Loan Account") in the ordinary course of business.  In addition, each Lender may record in such Lender's internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Loan, and each payment of interest, fees and other amounts due in connection with the Obligations due to such Lender.  The accounts or records maintained by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by Agent to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a Note, which shall evidence such Lender's Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

2.11         Payments Generally; Agent's Clawback.

(a)          General.  All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Agent's Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  Subject to Section 2.16 and payments made from the Concentration Account, Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office.  All payments received by Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
 
-59-

(b)           Presumptions by Agent.

(i)            Funding by Lenders.  Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees charged by Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, in each case, without penalty or premium.  If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent or as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(ii)           Payments by Borrower.  Unless Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Agent prior to the time at which any payment is due to Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(iii)          A notice of Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)            Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in  Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.
 
-60-

(d)           Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(e)           Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f)            Insufficient Funds.  If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied as provided in Section 2.05(b).

2.12        Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) the Loan Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Loan Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Loan Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Loan Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) the Loan Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Loan Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Loan Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Loan Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, then, in each case under clauses (a) and (b) above, the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Loan Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(i)            if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)           the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral, or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

-61-

(iii)          Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.13         Settlement Among Lenders.

(a)           The amount of each Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage of outstanding Revolving Loans shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in Agent's discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Revolving Loans and repayments of Revolving Loans received by Agent as of 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the "Settlement Date") following the end of the period specified by Agent.

(b)           Agent shall deliver to each of the Revolving Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period.  As reflected on the summary statement, (i)  Agent shall transfer to each Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage of repayments, and (ii) each Revolving Lender shall transfer to Agent (as provided below) or shall transfer to each Revolving Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the Revolving Credit Outstandings of each Revolving Lender shall be equal to such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage of all the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings as of such Settlement Date.  If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to Agent by the Revolving Lenders and is received prior to 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 1:00 p.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Revolving Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by Agent.  If and to the extent any Revolving Lender shall not have so made its transfer to Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to Agent, equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation plus any reasonable administrative, processing, or similar fees charged by Agent in connection with the foregoing.

2.14        Nature and Extent of Each Borrower's Liability.

(a)           Joint and Several Liability.  Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for all Obligations except Excluded Swap Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until the Facility Termination Date, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Borrower is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any Lender with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (iv) the insolvency of any Borrower; (v) any election by Agent or any Lender in proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any Lender against any Borrower for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (viii) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except full payment in cash or Cash Collateralization of all Obligations on the Facility Termination Date.
 
-62-

(b)          Waivers.

(i)            Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Agent or any Lender to marshal assets or to proceed against any Borrower, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower.  Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than full payment of all Obligations.  It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and each Lender that the provisions of this Section 2.12 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Agent and the Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit.  Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(ii)           Agent and the Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 2.12.  If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that such Borrower might otherwise have had.  Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower's obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations.  Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower's rights of subrogation against any other Person.  Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations.  The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 2.12, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

(c)           Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(i)            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower's liability under this Section 2.12 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower's Allocable Amount.

(ii)           If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 2.12 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a "Guarantor Payment") that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower's Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.  The "Allocable Amount" for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 2.12 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(iii)          Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of a Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP's obligations and undertakings under this Section 2.12 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act).  The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Obligations.  Each Loan Party intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a "keepwell, support or other agreement" for the benefit of, each Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(d)           Direct Liability; Separate Borrowing Availability.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.12 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), L/C Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Borrower's business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

(e)           Joint Enterprise.  Each Borrower has requested that Agent and the Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers' business most efficiently and economically.  The Borrowers' business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group.  The Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage.  The Borrowers acknowledge that Agent's and the Lenders' willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers' request.
 
(f)           Subordination.  Each Loan Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party, howsoever arising, to the full payment in cash or Cash Collateralization of all Obligations on the Facility Termination Date.

(g)           Borrower Agent.

(i)            Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and designates CCP ("Borrower Agent") as its representative and agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Credit Extensions, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender.

 
(ii)           Each other Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and designates the Borrower Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact to receive statements on account and all other notices from Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(iii)          Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking by or on behalf of any Loan Party by the Borrower Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Loan Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Loan Party to the same extent as if made directly by such Loan Party.

(iv)          The Borrower Agent hereby accepts the appointment by each Loan Party hereunder to act as its agent and attorney-in-fact.

(v)          Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower or other Loan Party.  Agent and the Lenders may give any notice to or communication with a Borrower or other Loan Party hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower or Loan Party.  Each of Agent, L/C Issuer and each Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower and each other Loan Party agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

2.15          Cash Collateral.

(a)           Certain Credit Support Events.  If (i) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, or (ii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following any request by Agent, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(b)          Grant of Security Interest.  The Borrowers hereby grant to (and subjects to the control of) Agent and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.13(c).  If at any time Agent determines that Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by Agent, pay or provide to Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.  All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in one or more blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Agent.
 
-65-

(c)           Application.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans, shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

2.16         Defaulting Lenders and Substitution of Lenders.

(a)           Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i)            Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of "Required Lenders" and Section 11.01.

(ii)           Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder; second, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer's and Agent's Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15; fourth, as the Borrower Agent may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent; fifth, if so determined by Agent and the Borrower Agent, to be held in a deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer's and Agent's future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit and Protective Advances; sixth, in the case of a Defaulting Lender under any Facility, to the payment of any obligations owing to the other Lenders under such Facility (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, including the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender under such Facility (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, including the L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders under the applicable Facility on a pro rata basis (and ratably among all applicable Facilities computed in accordance with the Defaulting Lenders' respective funding deficiencies) prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender under the applicable Facility until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
 
-66-

(iii)          Certain Fees.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee payable pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).  Each Defaulting Lender which is a Revolving Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15.  With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this clause (iii), the Borrowers shall (A) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender which is a Revolving Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender's participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer's Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)          Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders which are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower Agent shall have otherwise notified Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

(b)           Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, Agent and, in the case that a Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit, Swing Line Loans and Protective Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.
 
-67-

(c)           Substitution of Lender.  In the event (a) the Borrowers receive a claim from any Lender for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04 hereof, (b) the Borrowers receive notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof, (c) any Lender is then a Defaulting Lender or such Lender is a Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Person who after the Closing Date has been deemed insolvent or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or a receiver or conservator has been appointed for any such Person, or (d) a Lender fails to consent to an amendment or waiver as a Non-Consenting Lender the effectiveness of which requires the consent of such Lender at a time when the Required Lenders have approved such amendment or waiver (any such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b), (c), or (d) above being hereinafter referred to as an "Affected Lender"), the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have hereunder or under applicable law, require, at its reasonable expense, any such Affected Lender to assign, at par, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments and the Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit and other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder and the other Loan Documents) to an Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower Agent, provided, that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Affected Lender all monies other than such principal owing to it hereunder, (iii) the assignment is entered into in accordance with, and subject to the consents required by, Section 11.06 hereof (provided any assignment fees (unless waived) and reasonable reimbursable expenses due thereunder shall be paid by the Borrowers) and such Affected Lender is paid such principal owing to it hereunder and (iv) in the case of an Affected Lender, described in the preceding clause (d), the Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower consents to such amendment or waiver.  If the Affected Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver the applicable Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such substitution, the Affected Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.16(c).

2.17         Swing Line Loans.

(a)           The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make loans in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.17 in Dollars (each such loan, a "Swing Line Loan") to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Revolving Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Borrowing Base, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Outstandings of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed such Revolving Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the discretion of the Swing Line Lender to make Swing Line Loans, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.17, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.17.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
 
-68-

(b)          Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower Agent's irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and Agent, which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day.  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Agent.  Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will (i) deliver notice to the Borrower Agent and Agent as to whether it will or will not make such Swing Line Loan available to the Borrowers and, if agreeing to make such Swing Line Loan, (ii) confirm with Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Lender) prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.17(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in ARTICLE V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower Agent at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower Agent on the books of the Swing Line Lender in Same Day Funds.

(c)           Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i)            The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, but no less frequently than weekly, may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02 without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower Agent with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to Agent.  Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to Agent in Same Day Funds (and Agent may apply cash collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at Agent's Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.17(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrowers in such amount.  Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii)           If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.17(c)(i), the request for Revolving Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Lender's payment to Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
 
-69-

(iii)          If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.17(c) by the time specified in Section 2.17(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable overnight rate (determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation) from time to time in effect, plus any administrative processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.  A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)          Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02.  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(v)           All refinancings and fundings under this Section 2.17(c) shall be in addition to and without duplication of the settlement procedures and obligations under Section 2.13.

(d)          Repayment of Participations.  At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender's risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(e)          Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.17 to refinance such Revolving Lender's Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f)           Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

3.01         Taxes.

(a)           Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i)            Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable Laws require the Loan Parties to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower Agent, Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (d) below.

(ii)           If any Loan Party shall be required by the Code or other applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Borrowers shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (d) below, (B) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code or other applicable Laws, as the case may be, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Parties shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Agent and each Lender, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b)           Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(c)           Tax Indemnification by the Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Loan Parties or Agent or any Lender or paid by Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d)           Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by the Borrower Agent, Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties or by Agent or any Lender to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower Agent shall deliver to Agent or the applicable Lender or Agent or the applicable Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Agent, Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be.

(e)           Status of Lenders.

(i)            Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Borrower Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Borrower Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Borrower Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Borrower Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Borrower Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Borrower Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the applicable Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A)          any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Borrower Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Borrower Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)           any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Borrower Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Borrower Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W‑8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

(IV)       to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W‑8ECI, IRS Form W‑8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E‑2 or Exhibit E‑3, IRS Form W‑9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E‑4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)          any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Borrower Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Borrower Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Borrower Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D)          if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable) such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Borrower Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Borrower Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) any such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Borrower Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Borrower Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for the purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f)           Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)          Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to any Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in the event Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
 
-73-

3.02         Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower Agent through Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Borrower Agent and Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Loan Parties shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, such Lender shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until Agent is advised in writing by such Lender it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Loan Parties shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03         Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and an interest period of one (1) month of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for an interest period of one (1) month with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for an interest period of one (1) month with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower Agent and each Lender.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04         Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a)           Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(i)            impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e)) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii)           subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit, or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

(iii)          impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Loan Parties will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)          Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's capital or on the capital of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's policies and the policies of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time pursuant to subsection (c) below the Loan Parties will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)          Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Loan Parties shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.
 
-75-

(d)          Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's right to demand such compensation, provided that the Loan Parties shall not be required to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer notifies the Loan Parties of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's or the L/C Issuer's intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine‑month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e)          Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "Eurocurrency Liabilities"), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower Agent shall have received at least 10 days' prior notice (with a copy to Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

3.05         Mitigation Obligations; Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01, as the case may be, in the future, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer.  The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.06         Certificate of Lender.  If any Lender or the L/C Issuer claims reimbursement or compensation pursuant to this Article III, such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder and the basis therefor.

(b)          Concentration Account.  Each Control Agreement with respect to a Controlled Deposit Account shall require that at all times the Controlled Account Bank transfer all cash receipts and other collections by ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than daily (and whether or not there are then any outstanding Obligations) to the concentration account maintained by Agent at a bank acceptable to Agent (the "Concentration Account"); provided, however, that the Agent shall not require a Controlled Account Bank with respect to a Controlled Deposit Account maintained in Canada to transfer cash receipts and other collections by ACH or wire transfer unless (1) the aggregate balance in all Controlled Deposit Accounts maintained in Canada is in excess of $500,000 (the aggregate amount in such Controlled Deposit Accounts not in excess of $300,000, the "Peg Balance") or (2) an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing.  The Concentration Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of Agent.  The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the Loan Parties have no right of withdrawal from the Concentration Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall at all times be collateral security for all of the Obligations and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in Section 4.05(c) below.  In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.05, any Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections described above, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Loan Party for Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Loan Party's other funds or deposited in any account of such Loan Party and shall, not later than the Business Day after receipt thereof, be deposited into the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Loan Party may be instructed by Agent; provided, however, that the requirements of this sentence shall not apply to the Peg Balance so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing.
 
-82-

(c)          Application of Funds in the Concentration Account.  All funds received in the Concentration Account in immediately available funds shall be applied on a daily basis first, to the L/C Borrowings and Swing Line Loans and second, to the outstanding Revolving Loans.  All funds received in the Concentration Account shall be immediately available funds and shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations for borrowing availability purposes in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the same Business Day that such items are received by Agent in Agent's account located in Chicago, Illinois; provided, that, for purposes of computing interest on the Obligations, such items shall be deemed applied by Agent two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof. If as the result of such application of funds a credit balance exists in the Loan Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers but shall, so long as no Default then exists, be disbursed to Borrowers or otherwise at Borrower Agent's direction, upon Borrower Agent's request.  Upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may, at its option, offset such credit balance against any of the Obligations or hold such credit balance as Collateral for the Obligations.

(d)          Transfer of Cash Management Services.  Agent acknowledges that Borrowers have been given ninety (90) days after the Closing Date to transfer cash management services and its bank accounts located in the United States and Canada from BMO and its Affiliates to another financial institution.  Agent agrees to reasonably cooperate with Borrowers to facilitate such transition to a mutually-acceptable financial institution along with the delivery of any necessary Control Agreements with respect to any new Deposit Accounts.

(i)           Agent is authorized, at its sole and absolute option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or any Borrower's name, any action or proceeding relating to any Event of Loss, and to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith.  In such case, Agent shall have the right to receive all Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and may deduct therefrom any and all of its expenses incurred at any time incurred in connection therewith.  However, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrowers are diligently pursuing their rights and remedies with respect to any claim arising from such Event of Loss, Agent will obtain the Borrower Agent's written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before making proof of loss for or settling or compromising such claim.  Each Borrower agrees to diligently assert its rights and remedies with respect to each such claim and to promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of each such claim subject to Agent's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If, prior to the receipt by Agent of any Condemnation Award or Insurance Proceeds, any Real Estate shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of a Mortgage, Agent shall have the right to receive such funds.  If any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds are paid to a Borrower, that Borrower shall receive the same in trust for Agent.  Within five (5) days after Borrower's receipt of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds, such Borrower shall deliver such awards or proceeds to Agent in the form in which they were received, together with any endorsements or documents that may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer the same to Agent.  Each Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Agent, such further instruments or documents as may be requested by Agent to confirm the grant and assignment to Agent of any Condemnation Awards or Insurance Proceeds.

(a)          Net Cash Proceeds arising from any Event of Loss with respect to any Real Estate must be utilized either for payment of the Obligations or for the restoration of such Real Estate.  Net Cash Proceeds may be utilized for the restoration of such Real Estate only if no Default shall exist and only if in the reasonable judgment of Agent (i) there has been no material adverse change in the financial viability of the improvements on such Real Estate, (ii) the Net Cash Proceeds, together with other funds deposited with Agent for that purpose, are sufficient to pay the cost of the restoration pursuant to a budget and plans and specifications approved by Agent, (iii) the restoration can be completed prior to the Maturity Date and prior to the date required by any purchase and sale agreement or by any Lease, and (iv) following restoration, such Real Estate will have a fair market value at least equal to its fair market value immediately prior to the Event of Loss.  Otherwise, Net Cash Proceeds shall be utilized for payment of the Obligations in such order and in such proportions as determined by Agent in its sole discretion.
 
(b)          If Net Cash Proceeds are to be utilized for the restoration of such Real Estate, (i) the Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense, promptly commence and diligently and continuously perform to completion the restoration in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all Laws and the requirements of the Permitted Liens, whether or not the Borrowers shall have satisfied the requirements of this Section 7.08(b) in order to cause the Net Cash Proceeds to be made available for such restoration and whether or not such insurance proceeds on account of the Casualty shall be sufficient for such purpose, and (ii) the Net Cash Proceeds, together with any other funds deposited with Agent for that purpose, must be deposited in a an account maintained by Agent solely for the purposes described in this Section 7.08 ("Borrower's Deposit Account"), which shall be a non-interest-bearing account.  Subject to the terms of this Section 7.08, Agent shall have the exclusive right to manage and control all funds in the Borrower's Deposit Account, but Agent shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds.  Prior to the advance by Agent of any funds so deposited and the commencement of such restoration, the Borrowers shall take all steps necessary to avoid the imposition of any mechanics' liens on the Real Estate or the improvements thereon.  Thereafter, Agent will advance the deposited funds from time to time to the Borrowers for the payment of costs of restoration of the Real Estate upon presentation of evidence by the Borrowers acceptable to Agent that such portion of the restoration has been completed satisfactorily and Lien-free.  If at any time Agent reasonably determines that there is a deficiency in the funds available in the Borrower's Deposit Account to complete the restoration as contemplated, then the Borrowers shall promptly deposit in the Borrower's Deposit Account additional funds equal to the amount of the deficiency.  Any account fees and charges may be deducted from the balance, if any, in the Borrower's Deposit Account.
 
-101-

 (c)          Each Borrower grants to Agent (for itself and on behalf of the Credit Parties) a security interest in the Borrower's Deposit Account and all funds hereafter deposited to such deposit account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations.  Such security interest shall be governed by the UCC, and Agent shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder.  The Borrower's Deposit Account may be established and held in such name or names as Agent shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Agent.  Each Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints Agent and any officer or agent of Agent its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power of substitution to open the Borrower's Deposit Account and to do any and every act that Borrower might do on its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Section, provided, however, Agent shall not exercise such power (other than the power to open the Borrower's Deposit Account) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  To the extent permitted by Law, each Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  It is understood and agreed that this power of attorney, which shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, cannot be revoked.
 
7.09         Compliance with Laws.  Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws (including without limitation all applicable Environmental Laws) and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being Properly Contested; or (b) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
7.10         Books and Records.  (a)  Maintain proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP (subject to normal year-end adjustments consistent with historical practices) consistently applied shall be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be; and (b) maintain such books of record and account in material conformity with all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over any Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.
 
7.11         Inspection Rights and Appraisals; Meetings with the Lenders.
 
(a)          Permit Agent or its designees or representatives from time to time, subject to reasonable notice and normal business hours (except, in each case, when a Default exists), to conduct Field Exams and/or appraisals of Inventory and to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers and Auditors; provided that representatives of the Borrower Agent shall be given the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Auditors.  Agent shall not have any duty to any Loan Party to share any results of any Field Exam with any Loan Party.  Appraisals may be shared with the Borrower Agent upon request.  The Loan Parties acknowledge that all Field Exams, appraisals and reports are prepared by or for Agent for its purposes, and Loan Parties shall not be entitled to rely upon them.
 
(b)          Reimburse Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket charges, costs and expenses of Agent in connection with up to one (1) Field Exam during each Fiscal Quarter period commencing with the Fiscal Quarter beginning January 1, 2017 at the Permitted Discretion of Agent; provided, however, that if any Field Exam is initiated during a Default, all charges, costs and expenses therefor shall be reimbursed by the Loan Parties without regard to such limits.

(d)               exercise on behalf of itself and Agent all rights and remedies available to it and Agent under the Loan Documents or applicable Law; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or the equivalent under any other Debtor Relief Law, the obligation of Agent to make Loans and any obligation of Agent to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the obligation of the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of Agent.
 
No remedy herein is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of Law.
 
9.03              License.  Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non‑exclusive license or other right to use, license of sub‑license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person) any or all Intellectual Property of Loan Parties, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other property or asset, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral provided that Agent shall not exercise any such right unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Each Loan Party's rights and interests under Intellectual Property shall inure to Agent's benefit.
 
9.04              Application of Funds.
 
 (a)              After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 and 2.17, be applied by Agent in the following order:
 
First, to all fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Agent and amounts payable under Article IV) due to Agent in its capacity as such, until paid in full;
 
Second, to all Protective Advances and unreimbursed Overadvances payable to Agent until paid in full;
 
Third, to all amounts owing to the Swing Line Lender for outstanding Swing Line Loans until paid in full;
 
Fourth, to that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, Letter of Credit Fees and other Obligations expressly described in clauses Fifth through Eighth below) payable to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the L/C Issuer and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them until paid in full;
 
Fifth, to that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth payable to them until paid in full;
 
-120-

Sixth, to that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings and to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprising the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrowers, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Sixth payable to them until paid in full;
 
Seventh, to payment of Credit Product Obligations ratably to the Credit Product Providers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Seventh payable to them until paid in full;
 
Eighth, to all other Obligations of the Borrowers owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to Agent and the other Credit Parties, or any of them, on such date, ratably based on the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to Agent and the other Credit Parties on such date until paid in full; and
 
Last, the balance, if any, after Payment in Full of the Obligations, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.
 
 (b)              Subject to Sections 2.03 and 2.15, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur.  Amounts distributed with respect to any Credit Product Obligations shall be the lesser of (i) the maximum Credit Product Obligations last reported to Agent or (ii) the actual Credit Product Obligations as calculated by the methodology reported to Agent for determining the amount due.  Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Credit Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Credit Product Provider.  The allocations set forth in this Section are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Credit Parties as among themselves, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Borrower.  This Section is not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Loan Party.
 
 (c)               For purposes of Section 9.04(a), "paid in full" of a type of Obligation means payment in cash or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on account of such type of Obligation, including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws.
 
 (d)              Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith under this Section 9.04, notwithstanding the fact that any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error.
 
9.05              Limitation of Remedies.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any enforceable term of any promissory note, contract, agreement, permit, lease, license (including any licenses of any Intellectual Property) or other General Intangible included as a part of the Collateral, other than Accounts, requires the consent of the Person obligated on such promissory note or any Person (other than the applicable obligor) obligated on such lease, contract or agreement, or which has issued such permit or license or other General Intangible, other than Accounts, for the assignment or transfer thereof or the enforcement of such Lien not to give rise to a default, breach, right of recoupment, claim, defense, termination, right of termination or other material remedy thereunder, then the receipt of any such necessary consent shall be a condition to any exercise of remedies against such Collateral under this Section 9.04 (but not to the creation, attachment or perfection of the Lien of Agent for the benefit of the Credit Parties as provided herein).

ARTICLE X
AGENT
 
10.01           Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Encina to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory, or whether to impose or release any Reserve, or whether any conditions to funding any Loan or to issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment or mistake.
 
10.02           Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
 
10.03           Exculpatory Provisions.  Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent:
 
(a)                shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
(b)               shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and
 
(c)                shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
 
(d)               Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to Agent by the Borrower Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.
 
-122-

(e)                Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent.
 
10.04          Reliance by Agent.  Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
 
10.05           Delegation of Duties.  Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent.  Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
 
10.06          Resignation of Agent.  Agent, without first having received the prior express written consent of the Borrower Agent (which consent is in the sole discretion of the Borrower Agent), shall not resign as Agent hereunder; provided, that Agent may resign, after giving Borrower Agent at least ten (10) Business Days' advance notice, as Agent hereunder without any consent of the Borrower Agent after the closing of a sale or assignment of the Loans and Commitments made pursuant to Sections 5.6 or 5.7 of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and upon any necessary assignment of Agent's Liens in connection therewith.  If consent of the Borrower Agent is provided, Agent shall give at least ten (10) Business Days' advance notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Agent, to appoint a successor, which shall be an Eligible Assignee.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall not become effective in accordance with such notice and the retiring Agent shall not be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor.  After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
 
-123-

Any resignation by Encina as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute resignation of the then effective L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, unless otherwise agreed to by the L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
 
10.07           Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
 
10.08           Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on the 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 Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and Agent under Sections 2.03, 2.09 and 11.04) 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;
 
(c)                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 L/C Issuer to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 2.09 and 11.04.
 
-124-

(d)               Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.
 
10.09           Collateral Matters.  The Credit Parties irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
 
(a)                to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, (ii) that is Disposed or to be Disposed as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 11.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;
 
(b)                to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.01(i); and
 
(c)                to release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.
 
(d)                Upon request by Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 10.09.
 
10.10          Other Collateral Matters.
 
(a)                Care of Collateral.  Agent shall have no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Agent's Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.
 
(b)                Lenders as Agent For Perfection by Possession or Control.  Agent and Credit Parties appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Credit Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control.  If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent's request, deliver such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Agent's instructions.
 
(c)                Reports.  Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender, when complete, copies of any Field Exam or appraisal report prepared by or for Agent with respect to any Borrower or Collateral ("Report").  Each Lender agrees (a) that neither Encina nor Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon Borrowers' books and records as well as upon representations of Borrowers' officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender's internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender's Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Loans and other Obligations.  Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of Agent furnishing a Report to such Lender.
 
-125-

10.11          Credit Product Providers and Credit Product Arrangements.
 
(a)                Each Credit Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to Agent of the creation of a Credit Product Arrangement, agrees to be bound by Section 9.04 and this Article X.  Each Credit Product Provider shall indemnify Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Related Party thereof (each a "Credit Product Indemnitee") against, and hold harmless each such Credit Product Indemnitee from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel), incurred by any such Credit Product Indemnitee or asserted against any Credit Product Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of such provider's Credit Product Obligations.
 
(b)               Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no Credit Product Provider that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 9.04, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document shall have any voting rights or right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise (including with respect to the release or impairment of any Collateral or notice of or consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Credit Product Arrangements in respect of any Payment in Full of the Obligations or the Facility Termination Date.
 
ARTICLE XI

(g)                increase the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount without the written consent of each Revolving Lender;
 
(h)                release any Borrower from this Agreement or any Security Instrument to which it is a party without the written consent of each Lender, except to the extent such Borrower is the subject of a Disposition permitted by Section 8.05 (in which case such release may be made by Agent acting alone);
 
(i)                  release all or a material part of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender except with respect to Dispositions and releases of Collateral permitted or required hereunder (including pursuant to Section 8.05) (in which case such release may be made by Agent acting alone);

(k)                without the prior written consent of all Revolving Lenders, amend the definition of "Borrowing Base" or any defined term used therein in a manner that would increase availability; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of Agent to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves or to determine eligibility of Accounts or inventory in accordance with such terms; and provided further, that the prior written consent of each Lender shall be required to increase any advance rate;
 
and, provided further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the L/C Issuer in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement or any Issuer Document relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) each of the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the respective parties thereto; (iv) no amendment, waiver or consent which has the effect of  enabling the Borrowers to satisfy any condition to a Borrowing contained in Section 5.02 hereof which, but for such amendment, waiver or consent would not be satisfied, shall be effective to require the Revolving Lenders, the Swing Line Lender or the L/C Issuer to make any additional Revolving Loan, or to issue any additional or renew any existing Letter of Credit, unless and until the Required Lenders (or, if applicable, all Revolving Lenders) shall have approved such amendment, waiver or consent; (vi)  Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend any provision of the Loan Documents (and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document) if Agent and the Borrowers shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any such provision; and (vii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Line Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
 
-127-

If any Lender does not consent (a "Non-Consenting Lender") to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may replace such Non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16;  provided that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this paragraph).
 
No Loan Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender or its Affiliates as consideration for agreement by such Lender to any amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a ratable basis to all Lenders providing their agreement.  Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement or any amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document, Non-Consenting Lenders shall not be entitled to receive any fees or other compensation paid to the Lenders in connection with any amendment, waiver, consent or release approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by the Required Lenders.

-135-

(e)                Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the 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 Borrower Agent's prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were the Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower Agent is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(g) as though it were the Lender.
 
(f)                 Pledges by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, 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.  Each Loan Party agrees to execute all agreements, instruments and documents reasonably requested by such Lender in connection with any such assignment.

For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to a Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by a Loan Party or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, any information not marked "PUBLIC" at the time of delivery will be deemed to be confidential; provided, that any information marked "PUBLIC may also be marked "Confidential".  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Credit Parties acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.
 
Each of the Loan Parties hereby authorize Agent to publish the name of any Loan Party and the amount of the credit facility provided hereunder in any "tombstone" or comparable advertisement which Agent elects to publish.  Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.
 
11.08           Right of Setoff.  At any time during an Event of Default, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their Affiliates are authorized, only after obtaining the prior written consent of Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of a Loan Party against any Obligations, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such Affiliate different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of the Lender and each such Affiliate under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Person may have.
 
11.09           Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the "Maximum Rate").  If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Agent or any Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
 
11.10           Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
11.11           Survival.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Credit Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Credit Party or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
