Except as otherwise provided in 5.5, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum (the "Applicable Rate") equal to the greater of (a) twelve and one half percent (12.50%) and (b) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, based on a 360 day year. Interest shall accrue commencing with the Closing Date and be due and payable, monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing on December 1, 2005, and continuing until such time as the full outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan shall have been paid in full. 2.4. Payments of Principal. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan shall be paid as follows: (a) Subject to the terms of Section 8.16 of the Senior Credit Facility Loan Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date, within seven (7) Business Days following delivery of the Borrower's audited financial statements pursuant to 7.4(a) hereof for each Fiscal Year, commencing with the Fiscal Year ending May 31, 2006 and continuing through the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay the principal balance of the Term Loan in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Borrower's Excess Cash Flow for the Fiscal Year then ended. (b) The entire remaining outstanding principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and all other outstanding Obligations, shall be paid in full upon the Maturity Date, unless due sooner as a result of acceleration or demand hereunder. 2.5.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as there has not occurred and there is not continuing any Default or Event of Default at the time of prepayment, the Early Termination Fee shall be calculated solely with respect to the amount of prepayments in excess of the initial $15,000,000 prepaid, which amount shall be determined exclusive of payments made in accordance with Section 2.4(a). In addition, Borrower shall not be required to pay any Early Termination Fee with respect to payments of principal on the Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.4(a) above. The Borrower acknowledges that a prepayment may result in the Administrative Agent and Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses or liabilities, and that it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of such costs, expenses or liabilities. The Borrower therefore agrees that said Early Termination Fee represents a reasonable estimate of the prepayment costs, expenses or liabilities of the Administrative Agent and Lenders. 3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of asset dispositions which are reinvested in Capital Expenditures within 180 days after the date of receipt thereof need not be used to prepay the Obligations. The Borrower shall report to the Administrative Agent in writing its intention to reinvest such proceeds concurrently with each asset disposition and shall also report the dates and amounts of such reinvestments concurrently therewith.

Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with 3.1.4. 3.1.4. All payments made pursuant to 3.1.1, 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 shall be applied to the Obligations as follows: first, to Fees, costs and expenses due the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; second, to accrued and unpaid interest; and third, to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan. Each prepayment of the Term Loan shall be allocated among the Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amount of each Lender's Term Note, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior payments or repayments not exactly in proportion. The provisions of this 3.1.4 shall not impair any restrictions set forth in the Loan Documents with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or asset dispositions by any Credit Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 3.1, to the extent that any prepayment of the Term Loan is required under Section 3.1.1, 3.1.2 and/or 3.1.3 and a corresponding provision of the Senior Credit Facility Loan Agreement, the prepayment by the Borrower of the Senior Credit Facility Loan as provided in the corresponding provisions of the Senior Credit Facility Loan Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date, shall satisfy Borrower's obligation under Section 3.1.1, 3.1.2 and/or 3.1.3 hereof. 3.2. Optional Prepayments of the Term Loan. The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to the payment of the Early Termination Fee, if applicable.

Each such partial prepayment of the Term Loan shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of prepayment and any applicable Early Termination Fee. Each partial prepayment shall be allocated among the Lenders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amount of each such Lender's Term Note, with adjustments to the extent practicable to equalize any prior repayments not exactly in propor tion. Any portion of the Term Loan prepaid by the Borrower may not be reborrowed hereunder. 4. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED. 5. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS. 5.1. Fees.

No Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent or employee thereof, shall be liable to any Lender for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Administrative Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. 14.5. No Representations. 14.5.1. General. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for any of the Loan Documents, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability, or collectibility of any such amounts owing with respect to any of the Loan Documents, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of any Credit Party, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for any of the Loan Documents or to inspect any of the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

Closing Documentation, etc. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions set forth in secion 10, each Lender that has executed this Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document and matter either sent, or made available, by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be to be consent to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender, unless an officer of the Administrative Agent active upon the Borrower's account shall have received notice from such Lender not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date specifying such Lender's objection thereto and such objection shall not have been withdrawn by notice to the Administrative Agent to such effect on or prior to the Closing Date. 14.6. Payments. 14.6.1. Payments to Agent.

If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court. 14.6.3.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, together with each of their Related Parties, from and against any and all claims, actions and suits whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of every nature and character arising out of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby including, without limitation, (i) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any other Credit Party of the proceeds of the Term Loan, (ii) the reversal or withdrawal of any provisional credits granted by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or any of their Affiliates upon the transfer of funds from bank agency or lock box accounts or in connection with the provisional honoring of checks or other items, (iii) any Credit Party entering into or performing this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (iv) any actual or alleged infringement of any patent, copyright, trademark, service mark or similar right of any Credit Party comprised in the Collateral, or (v) with respect to the Credit Parties and their respective properties and assets, the violation of any environmental law, the presence, disposal, escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Substances or any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or threatened with respect to any Hazardous Substances (including, but not limited to, claims with respect to wrongful death, personal injury or damage to property), in each case including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or any of their Related Parties for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise from such Person's gross negligence, breach of contract or willful misconduct. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to select their own counsel and, in addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Term Loan, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding and for such further time as may be otherwise expressly specified in this Credit Agreement. All statements contained in any certificate or other paper delivered to any Lender or the Administrative Agent at any time by or on behalf any Credit Party pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and warranties by such Credit Party hereunder. 18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION. 18.1. General Conditions. The provisions of this Credit Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of section 18.2, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of section 18.5 or (c) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of section 18.8 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in section 18.5 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. 18.2. Assignments. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that: (a) except in the cases of an assignment of the full amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment and the portion of the Term Loan at the time owing to it or of an assignment to a Lender or a Lender Affiliate, the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date on which the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Term Loan; (c) any assignment of a Lender's Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent (whether or not the proposed assignee is itself a Lender with a commitment or would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee), such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (d) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to section 18.3, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (i) section 5.2.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment and (ii) section 16 notwithstanding such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with section 18.5 18.3. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 18.4. New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties to such assignment, together with each Term Note subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (a) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (b) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders (other than the assigning Lender). Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Term Note, a new Term Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the amount assumed by such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Term Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained by it hereunder. Such new Term Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Term Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Term Notes. 18.5. Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of the Term Loan owing to it); provided that (a) such Lender's obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (c) the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on the Term Loan, extend the Maturity Date , reduce the amount of any Commitment Fee or other Fees to which such Participant is entitled or extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest. Subject to section 18.6, the Credit Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of section 5.2.2 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to section 18.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of section 13 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to section 13 as though it were a Lender. 18.6. Payments to Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under section 5.2.2 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. 18.7. Assignee or Participant Affiliated with the Credit Parties. If any assignee Lender is an Affiliate any Credit Party, then any such assignee Lender shall have no right to vote as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments or other modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to section 12.1, and the determination of the Required Lenders shall for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to such assignee Lender's interest in any of the Loans. If any Lender sells a participating interest in any of the Loans to a Participant, and such Participant is a Credit Party or an Affiliate of a Credit Party, then such transferor Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the sale of such participation. A transferor Lender shall have no right to vote as a Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for purposes of granting consents or waivers or for purposes of agreeing to amendments or modifications to any of the Loan Documents or for purposes of making requests to the Administrative Agent pursuant to section 12.1, to the extent that such participation is beneficially owned by a Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party, and the determination of the Required Lenders shall for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents be made without regard to the interest of such transferor Lender in the Loan to the extent of such participation. 18.8. Miscellaneous Assignment Provisions. A Lender may at any time grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation (a) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. section 341 and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a Fund, to any lender or any trustee for, or any other representative of, holders of obligations owed or securities issued by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities or any institutional custodian for such Fund or for such lender; provided that no such grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder, provide any voting rights hereunder to the secured party thereof, substitute any such secured party for such Lender as a party hereto or affect any rights or obligations of any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent hereunder. 19.

In proving this Credit Agreement it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. Delivery by facsimile by any of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart hereof or of any amendment or waiver hereto shall be as effective as an original executed counterpart hereof or of such amendment or waiver and shall be considered a representation that an original executed counterpart hereof or such amendment or waiver, as the case may be, will be delivered. 23. ENTIRE AGREEMENT, ETC. The Loan Documents are intended by the parties as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents. All prior or contemporaneous promises, agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, are deemed to be superseded by the Loan Documents, and no party is relying on any promise, agreement or understanding not set forth in the Loan Documents. 24. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM BASED HEREON ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOANS OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. Except as prohibited by law, each party hereto hereby waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. Each Credit Party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any Lender or the Administrative Agent has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such Lender or the Administrative Agent would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers and (ii) acknowledges that this waiver constitutes a material inducement for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to execute this Credit Agreement and make the Loans. 25. CONSENTS, AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC. Any consent or approval required or permitted by this Credit Agreement to be given by all of the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument related hereto or mentioned herein may be amended, and the performance or observance by any Credit Party of any terms of this Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or such other instrument or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or waiver shall: (a) without the written consent of each Credit Party and each Lender directly affected thereby: (i) reduce or forgive the principal amount of the Term Loan, or reduce the rate of interest on the Term Loan (other than interest accruing pursuant to section 5.5 following the effective date of any waiver by the Required Lenders of the Default or Event of Default relating thereto) or the amount of the Early Termination Fee; (ii) postpone or extend the Loan Maturity Date or any other regularly scheduled dates for payments of principal of, or interest on, the Term Loan or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender or waive any Event of Default relating thereto (it being understood that (A) a waiver of the application of the Default Rate, (B) any vote to rescind any acceleration made pursuant to section 12.1 of amounts owing with respect to the Loan and other Obligations and (C)any modifications of the provisions relating to amounts or timing of prepayments of the Loan and other Obligations shall require only the approval of the Required Lenders); or (iii) release any Credit Party from any Obligations consisting of principal, interest, fees, reimbursement obligations, expenses, or indemnities, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their guaranty obligations under the Guaranties (excluding, if a Credit Party becomes a debtor under the federal Bankruptcy Code, the release of "cash collateral", as defined in Section 363(a) of the federal Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the debtor approved by the Required Lenders); (b) without the written consent of all of the Lenders, (i) amend or waive this section 25 or the definition of Required Lenders, or (ii) amend or waive section 12.4; (c) without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, amend or waive section 2.6.1, section 2.6.2, section 14, or any other provision applicable to the Administrative Agent; (d) in the event of any change in the Person acting as the Administrative Agent, without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, amend or waive any provision of this Credit Agreement accruing to the benefit of such Person in respect of all actions taken or omitted to be taken by either of them prior to such change. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon any Credit Party shall entitle any Credit Party to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent, together with the Borrower, shall have the sole authority to amend or modify any provision of the Fee Letter. 26. SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Credit Agreement are severable and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Credit Agreement in any jurisdiction. The parties agree that they will negotiate in good faith to replace any provision hereof so held invalid or unenforceable with a valid provision which is as similar as possible to the invalid or unenforceable provision. 27. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates' respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Docu ment or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Article 27, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Credit Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Article 30 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent and any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties. For purposes of this Section, "Information" means all information received from the Credit Parties relating to the Credit Parties or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent and any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by a Credit Party. 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 Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Credit Parties, 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 Credit Party hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of such Credit Party hereunder (collectively, "Borrower Materials") by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the "Platform") and (b) certain of the Lenders may be "public-side" Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to any the Credit Parties or their securities) (each, a "Public Lender"). Each Credit Party hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked "PUBLIC" which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word "PUBLIC" shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials "PUBLIC," each Credit Party shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to such Credit Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in this Article 30); (y) all Borrower Materials marked "PUBLIC" are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated "Public Investor;" and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked "PUBLIC" as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated "Public Investor." Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) the Administrative Agent may issue a "tombstone" notice of the establishment of the credit facility contemplated by this Credit Agreement and may make reference to the Borrower or any other Credit Party (and may utilize any logo or other distinctive symbol associated with the Borrower or any other Credit Party) in connection with any advertising, promotion, or marketing undertaken by the Administrative Agent. 28. USA PATRIOT ACT. Each Lender hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the "Act"), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Act. 29. DESIGNATION OF PERMITTED LIENS. The designation of a Lien as a Permitted Lien is not, and shall not be deemed to be, an acknowledgment by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any Person that the Lien shall have priority over any Lien of the Administrative Agent granted in any Loan Document. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have duly executed this Junior Term Loan Credit Agreement as a sealed instrument as of the date first set forth above. ICON HEALTH & FITNESS, INC.
