THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
This THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of April 23, 2008, as amended through February 28, 2012 (this “Agreement”), is made by and among the financial institutions from time to time parties hereto (such financial institutions, together with their respective successors and assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders”), BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for the Lenders (in such capacities, the “Agent”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, and RBS CITIZENS, N.A., as Syndication Agents, ANNTAYLOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ATI”), ANNCO, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ANNCO”), ANNTAYLOR DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“AT Distribution”), and ANNTAYLOR RETAIL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“AT Retail”; ATI, ANNCO, AT Distribution and AT Retail may be referred to individually herein as a “Borrower” or collectively as the “Borrowers”).

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, ATI, the lenders referred to therein, the syndication agents named therein, the issuing banks named therein and the administrative agent named therein have entered into that certain Original Credit Agreement (as defined in Annex A hereto);
WHEREAS, ATI has requested that the Lenders continue to make available to it a revolving line of credit for loans and letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $250,000,000 by amending the terms of the Original Credit Agreement, and restating such terms in their entirety, as set forth herein;
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Annex A which is attached hereto and incorporated herein; the rules of construction contained therein shall govern the interpretation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise provided for therein), and all Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to continue to make available to the Borrowers a revolving credit facility upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Lenders, the Agent and the Borrowers hereby agree that the Original Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, effective as of the Effective Date, as follows.
ARTICLE 1
LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

1.1    Total Facility. Subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make available a credit facility (the “Facility”) of up to $250,000,000, or such greater amount as may be established pursuant to Section 1.5 (the “Total Facility Amount”), to the Borrowers from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The Facility shall be composed



of a revolving line of credit consisting of Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit.
1.2    Revolving Loans.
(a)    Amounts. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees, upon any Borrower’s request from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to the Termination Date, to make revolving loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to such Borrower in amounts not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Availability, except for Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances. The Lenders, however, in their unanimous discretion, may elect to make Revolving Loans or issue or arrange to have issued Letters of Credit in excess of the Borrowing Base on one or more occasions, but if they do so, neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed thereby to have changed the limits of the Borrowing Base or to be obligated to exceed such limits on any other occasion. If any Borrowing would exceed Availability, the Lenders may refuse to make or may otherwise restrict the making of Revolving Loans as the Lenders determine until such excess has been eliminated, subject to the Agent’s authority, in its sole discretion, to make Agent Advances pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2(i).
(b)    Procedure for Borrowing.
(i)    Each Borrowing (other than an L/C Borrowing or Agent Advance) shall be made upon a Borrower’s irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a notice of borrowing (“Notice of Borrowing”), which must be received by the Agent prior to (i) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) three Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, in the case of LIBOR Loans and (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the requested Funding Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, specifying:
(A)    the amount of the Borrowing, which in the case of a LIBOR Loan must equal or exceed $1,000,000 (and increments of $1,000,000 in excess of such amount);
(B)    the requested Funding Date, which must be a Business Day;
(C)    whether the Revolving Loans requested are to be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan); and
(D)    the duration of the Interest Period for LIBOR Loans (and if not specified, it shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one month);
provided, however, that with respect to the Borrowing to be made on the Effective Date, such Borrowings will consist of Base Rate Loans only.

2


(ii)    In lieu of delivering a Notice of Borrowing, any Borrower may give the Agent telephonic notice of such request for advances to the Designated Account on or before the deadline set forth above. The Agent at all times shall be entitled to rely on such telephonic notice in making such Revolving Loans, regardless of whether any written confirmation is received.
(c)    Reliance upon Authority. Prior to the Effective Date, each Borrower shall deliver to the Agent, a notice setting forth the account of such Borrower (“Designated Account”) to which the Agent is authorized to transfer the proceeds of the Revolving Loans requested hereunder. Any Borrower may designate a replacement account from time to time by written notice from a Responsible Officer. All such Designated Accounts must be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent is entitled to rely conclusively on any person’s request for Revolving Loans on behalf of such Borrower, so long as the proceeds thereof are to be transferred to the Designated Account. The Agent has no duty to verify the identity of any individual representing himself or herself as a person authorized by such Borrower to make such requests on its behalf.
(d)    No Liability. The Agent shall not incur any liability to any Borrower as a result of acting upon any notice referred to in Sections 1.2(b) and (c), which the Agent reasonably believes in good faith to have been given by an officer or other person duly authorized by such Borrower to request Revolving Loans on its behalf. The crediting of Revolving Loans to the Designated Account conclusively establishes the obligation of such Borrower to repay such Revolving Loans as provided herein.
(e)    Notice Irrevocable. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be irrevocable. The applicable Borrower shall be bound to borrow the funds requested therein in accordance therewith.
(f)    Agent’s Election. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Agent shall elect to have the terms of Section 1.2(g) or the terms of Section 1.2(h) apply to such requested Borrowing. If the Bank declines in its sole discretion to make a Non-Ratable Loan pursuant to Section 1.2(h), the terms of Section 1.2(g) shall apply to the requested Borrowing.
(g)    Making of Revolving Loans. If Agent elects to have the terms of this Section 1.2(g) apply to a requested Borrowing, then promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice in lieu thereof, the Agent shall notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone or e-mail of the requested Borrowing. Each Lender shall transfer its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Agent in immediately available funds, to the account from time to time designated by Agent, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the applicable Funding Date. After the Agent’s receipt of all proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Agent shall make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available to the applicable Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to the applicable Designated Account; provided, however, that the amount of Revolving Loans so made on any date shall not exceed the Availability on such date.

3


(h)    Making of Non-Ratable Loans.
(i)    If Agent elects, with the consent of the Bank, to have the terms of this Section 1.2(h) apply to a requested Borrowing, the Bank shall make a Revolving Loan in the amount of that Borrowing available to the applicable Borrower on the applicable Funding Date by transferring same day funds to such Borrower’s Designated Account. Each Revolving Loan made solely by the Bank pursuant to this Section is herein referred to as a “Non-Ratable Loan”, and such Revolving Loans are collectively referred to as the “Non-Ratable Loans.” Each Non-Ratable Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Revolving Loans except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Bank solely for its own account. The aggregate amount of Non-Ratable Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed $20,000,000. The Agent shall not request the Bank to make any Non-Ratable Loan if (A) the Agent has received written notice from any Borrower or any Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (B) the requested Borrowing would exceed Availability on that Funding Date.
(ii)    The Non-Ratable Loans shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Base Rate Loans and Obligations hereunder.
(i)    Agent Advances.
(i)    Subject to the limitations set forth below, the Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion after notice to and consultation with ATI, (A) after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have not been satisfied, to make Base Rate Loans to one or more of the Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (2) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) (including to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise Fully Supported by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 1.3(b) or (g)), or (3) to pay any other amount chargeable to any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 14.7 (any of such advances are herein referred to as “Agent Advances”); provided, that (A) the aggregate amount of Agent Advances shall not exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base on the date any Agent Advance is made, (B) at no time shall the aggregate amount of Agent Advances plus Aggregate Outstandings exceed the Total Facility Amount, and (C) the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Agent’s authorization to make Agent Advances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agent’s receipt thereof.
(ii)    As of the date of any Agent Advance made hereunder, the Agent shall have made arrangements with the Borrowers intended to eliminate or repay such Agent Advance within a reasonable time thereafter but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the date such Agent Advance is made.

4


(iii)    The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Base Rate Loans and Obligations hereunder.
(iv)    Each Lender shall automatically be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased, without recourse or warranty, a participation in each Agent Advance when made based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share,
1.3    Letters of Credit.
(a)    Agreement to Issue or Cause To Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable Issuing Bank Agreement, upon request of any Borrower a Letter of Credit Issuer will issue for the account of any Borrower one or more Letters of Credit.
(b)    Amounts; Outside Expiration Date; Automatic Renewal. No Letter of Credit Issuer shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit at any time if: (i) the maximum face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is greater than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility at such time; (ii) the maximum undrawn amount of the requested Letter of Credit and all commissions, fees, and charges due from such Borrower in connection with the opening thereof would exceed Availability at such time; (iii) such Letter of Credit has an expiration date less than four (4) Business Days prior to the Stated Termination Date or more than 12 months from the date of issuance for Standby Letters of Credit and 180 days (subject to extension for a maximum period of sixty (60) days) for Commercial Letters of Credit; or (iv) any applicable condition precedent in Article 8 has not been satisfied. If Letter of Credit Outstandings at any time exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Letter of Credit Subfacility, the Borrowers shall immediately upon notice cause Letters of Credit to be Fully Supported in the amount of such excess to be held by the Agent until such time that no such excess amount exists.
The Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders agree that, while a Standby Letter of Credit is outstanding and prior to the Termination Date, at the option of the applicable Borrower and upon the written request of the applicable Borrower received by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer at least five (5) days (or such shorter time as such Letter of Credit Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed date of notification of renewal, such Letter of Credit Issuer shall be entitled to authorize the automatic renewal of any Standby Letter of Credit issued by it so long as, immediately after the renewal thereof, the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings does not exceed the Letter of Credit Subfacility and Aggregate Outstandings do not exceed the lesser of the Total Facility Amount or the Borrowing Base. Each such request for renewal of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer (i) the Letter of Credit to be renewed, (ii) the proposed date of notification of renewal of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the revised expiry date of the Letter of Credit, and (iv) such other matters as such Letter of Credit Issuer may require. No Letter of Credit Issuer shall so renew any Letter of Credit if (A) such Letter of Credit Issuer has actual knowledge that it would have no obligation at such time to issue or amend a Letter of Credit under the terms of Section 1.3(b) or (c) or Section 8.2, or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not

5


accept the proposed renewal of the Letter of Credit.
(c)    Other Conditions. In addition to conditions precedent contained in Article 8, the obligation of any Letter of Credit Issuer to issue any Letter of Credit is subject to the following conditions precedent having been satisfied in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer and the Agent:
(i)    The applicable Borrower shall have delivered to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, at such times and in such manner as such Letter of Credit Issuer may prescribe, an application in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Letter of Credit Issuer and reasonably satisfactory to the Agent for the issuance of the Letter of Credit and such other documents as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the form and terms of the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and such Letter of Credit Issuer; and
(ii)    As of the date of issuance, no order of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain money center banks generally from issuing letters of credit of the type and in the amount of the proposed Letter of Credit, and no law, rule or regulation applicable to money center banks generally and no request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over money center banks generally shall prohibit, or request that the proposed Letter of Credit Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the issuance of such Letters of Credit.
(d)    Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(i)    Request for Issuance. The Borrower for whose account the Letter of Credit is to be issued must notify the Agent and the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer of a requested Letter of Credit on or prior to the proposed issuance date. Such notice shall be irrevocable and must specify the original face amount of the Letter of Credit requested, the Business Day of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit may be drawn in a single or in partial draws, the Business Day on which the requested Letter of Credit is to expire, the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and the beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit. In the case of Standby Letters of Credit, the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder shall be delivered to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer on the date of such request. Such notice shall comply with any additional requirements as are set forth in the relevant Issuing Bank Agreement or as the relevant Letter of Credit Issuer may require. Such Borrower shall attach to such notice the proposed form of the Letter of Credit.
(ii)    Responsibilities of the Borrowers; Issuance. As of the requested issuance date of the Letter of Credit, the requesting Borrower shall determine the amount of the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and Availability and that all conditions to the obligation of any Letter of Credit Issuer to issue a Letter of Credit under Sections 1.3(b) and (c) and Section 8.2 have been satisfied. If (i) the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit is less than the Unused Letter of Credit Subfacility and (ii) the amount of such requested Letter of Credit and all

6


commissions, fees, and charges due from the requesting Borrower in connection with the opening thereof would not exceed Availability, such Borrower may apply to a Letter of Credit Issuer to issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested issuance date so long as the other conditions hereof and under the applicable Issuing Bank Agreement are met.
(e)    Payments Pursuant to Letters of Credit. Not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day of any payment made by a Letter of Credit Issuer in respect of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer for such draw under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower and pay the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer the amount of all other charges and fees payable to such Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such Letter of Credit immediately when due, irrespective of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which such Borrower may have at any time against such Letter of Credit Issuer or any other Person; provided, that such payment obligation may be discharged and replaced by a Revolving Loan incurred in accordance with the following sentence. Upon notice by a Borrower, or otherwise if not reimbursed by the Borrowers in accordance with the foregoing sentence, the drawing under such Letter of Credit shall give rise to a Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount of such drawing; provided that if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 cannot be satisfied as of such date, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the unreimbursed amount of each unreimbursed payment under such Letter of Credit, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest). In any such event described in the proviso to the preceding sentence, each Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section 1.3(e) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligations under this Section 1.3. The Funding Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing.
(f)    Indemnification; Exoneration; Power of Attorney.
(i)    Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 1.3, each Borrower agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Lenders and the Agent harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which any Lender or the Agent (other than the Agent or any Lender in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer) may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower, except to the extent it is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such amounts arose as a direct result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations).
(ii)    Assumption of Risk by the Borrowers. As among the Borrowers, the Lenders, and the Agent, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Lenders (other than the Agent or any Lender

7


in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer) and the Agent shall not be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person in connection with the application for and issuance of and presentation of drafts with respect to any of the Letters of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any 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; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions, or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Lenders or the Agent, including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority or (I) a Letter of Credit Issuer’s honor of a draw for which the draw or any certificate fails to comply in any respect with the terms of the Letter of Credit. None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of the Agent or any Lender under this Section 1.3(f).
(iii)    Exoneration. Without limiting the foregoing, no action or omission whatsoever by Agent or any Lender (excluding the Agent or any Lender in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer) shall result in any liability of Agent or any such Lender to any Borrower as of the result of or in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, or relieve any Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person under any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the Agent or any Lender in its capacity as a Letter of Credit Issuer to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by a Borrower which were caused by the such Letter of Credit issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Letter of Credit 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 no Letter of Credit Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

8


(iv)    Rights Against Letter of Credit Issuers. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to limit or increase any Borrower’s rights, if any, with respect to a Letter of Credit Issuer which arise as a result of the Issuing Bank Agreement, the letter of credit application and related documents executed by and between such Borrower and a Letter of Credit Issuer.
(v)    Account Party. Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Letter of Credit Issuer to name such Borrower as the “account party” in a Letter of Credit requested by such Borrower and to deliver to the Agent all instruments, documents and other writings and property received by such Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit, and to accept and rely upon the Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to compliance with all matters relating to this Agreement arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.
(g)    Support of Letters of Credit. If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.3(b) and Section 10.1, any Letter of Credit is outstanding 30 days prior to the termination of this Agreement, or upon such termination of this Agreement, then each applicable Borrower shall cause such Letter of Credit to be Fully Supported.
(h)    Letter of Credit Reporting.    Each Letter of Credit Issuer shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall notify the Lenders on the first Business Day of each week of the total face amount of all of the Letters of Credit issued by it during the preceding week; provided however, the failure of any Letter of Credit Issuer or the Agent to deliver such notice shall not affect the obligations of the Lenders under Section 12.16.
1.4    Bank Products. Each Borrower may request and the Bank, the Bank’s Affiliates and each other Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, arrange for such Borrower to obtain from the Bank, its Affiliates or such Lender Bank Products, although the Borrower is not required to do so. If Bank Products are provided by an Affiliate of the Bank to a Borrower, the Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Bank and the other Lenders from any and all costs and obligations now or hereafter incurred by the Agent, the Bank or any of the Lenders which arise from any indemnity (which shall not extend to gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Affiliates) given by the Bank to its Affiliates related to such Bank Products; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 1.4 is intended to limit any Borrower’s rights with respect to any Lender, the Bank or its Affiliates, if any, which arise as a result of the execution of documents by and between such Borrower and a Lender or the Bank or its Affiliates which relate to Bank Products and to the extent the terms of indemnity of such documents are different from the terms of indemnity set forth above, the terms of such documents shall control; and provided further, that nothing contained in this Section 1.4 is intended to obligate any Lender, the Bank or its Affiliates or any Borrower to provide any indemnity in connection with any Bank Products other than the indemnity of the Borrowers specifically provided for above. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of Bank Products from a Lender, the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates (a) is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender, the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of such Lender, the Bank or the Bank’s Affiliates.

9


1.5    Increase in Commitments
(a)    Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, upon written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrowers may from time to time, request an increase in the Facility and the aggregate Commitments hereunder by an amount (for all such requests that are satisfied) not exceeding $100,000,000. Such notice shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Each Lender shall notify the Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment. No Lender declining to increase its Commitment in connection with such a request shall be entitled to fees, if any, paid in connection with such Commitment increase. The Agent shall notify the Borrowers and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the Borrowers may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Agent and subject to a $5,000,000 minimum Commitment amount for each such Eligible Assignee. Any increase in the aggregate Commitments may require the agreement of the Borrowers to pay additional arrangement, upfront and/or Agent’s fees to the Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, and may require a proportionate increase in all Liquidity and Availability thresholds hereunder, including, without limitation, the Availability threshold for the Applicable Margin and the Liquidity thresholds for reporting requirements, covenant limitations and cash dominion triggers under the Blocked Account Agreement.
(b)    If the aggregate Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Agent and the Borrowers shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of each Credit Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Credit Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties made to the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or the Lenders by any Credit Party contained in Article 6 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Extension Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 1.5, the representations and warranties contained in subsection (a) of Section 6.6 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), of Section 5.2, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists. On the Increase Effective Date, Schedule 1.1 shall be deemed to be deleted in its entirety and replaced with a new Schedule 1.1 reflecting the increased Commitments. The respective Lenders shall fund and/or be pre-paid, as applicable,

10


any Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and the Borrowers shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.4) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any non-ratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.
(c)    This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 11.1 or Section 12.11(b) to the contrary.
ARTICLE 2
INTEREST AND FEES
2.1    Interest.
(a)    Interest Rates. Except as otherwise provided herein, all outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof (including, to the extent permitted by law, on interest thereon not paid when due) from the date made (or due, in the case of Obligations other than Revolving Loans) until paid in full in cash at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margins as set forth below, but not to exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time Loans are outstanding with respect to which the applicable Borrower has not delivered to the Agent a notice specifying the basis for determining the interest rate applicable thereto in accordance herewith, those Loans shall bear interest at a rate determined by reference to the Base Rate until notice to the contrary has been given to the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and such notice has become effective. Except as otherwise provided herein, the outstanding Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) shall bear interest as follows:
(i)    For all Base Rate Loans, at a fluctuating per annum rate equal to the applicable Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and
(ii)    For all LIBOR Loans at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
Each change in the Base Rate shall be reflected in the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such change. All interest charges shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed.
(b)    Payment of Interest. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, interest accrued on all Base Rate Loans in arrears on the first day of each month hereafter and on the Termination Date. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, interest on all LIBOR Loans in arrears on each applicable LIBOR Interest Payment Date.

11


(c)    Default Rate. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 2.1(a) and the payment dates specified in Section 2.1(b), effective at the direction of the Agent after the occurrence of any Event of Default or after acceleration of maturity pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and for so long thereafter as any such Event of Default or acceleration shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) then due and payable (including all amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2(a)), shall bear interest payable upon demand at the applicable Default Rate.
2.2    Continuation and Conversion Elections.
(a)    Each Borrower may, except to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:
(i)    elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans to convert any Base Rate Loans (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) into LIBOR Loans; or
(ii)    elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in an amount not less than $1,000,000, or that is in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof);
provided, that if at any time the aggregate amount of LIBOR Loans in respect of any Borrowing is reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof to be less than $1,000,000, such LIBOR Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans; provided further that if the notice shall fail to specify the duration of the Interest Period, such Interest Period shall be one month.
(b)    The applicable Borrower shall deliver a notice of continuation/conversion (“Notice of Continuation/Conversion”) to the Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Continuation/Conversion Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Loans and specifying:
(i)    the proposed Continuation/Conversion Date;
(ii)    the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or renewed;
(iii)    the type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and
(iv)    the duration of the requested Interest Period, provided, however, such Borrower may not select an Interest Period that ends after the Stated Termination Date.

12


(c)    If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any LIBOR Loans, the applicable Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into LIBOR Loans having a one-month Interest Period effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period. At any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert all LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of their respective Interest Periods.
(d)    The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Continuation/Conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.
(e)    There may not be more than five (5) different LIBOR Loans in effect hereunder at any time.
2.3    Maximum Interest Rate. In no event shall any interest rate provided for hereunder exceed the maximum rate legally chargeable by any Lender under applicable Requirements of Law for such Lender with respect to loans of the type provided for hereunder (the “Maximum Rate”). If, in any month, any interest rate, absent such limitation, would have exceeded the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the Maximum Rate, and, if in future months, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the Maximum Rate, then that interest rate shall remain at the Maximum Rate until such time as the amount of interest paid hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid if the same had not been limited by the Maximum Rate. In the event that, upon payment in full of the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations), the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would, but for this Section 2.3, have been paid or accrued if the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then such Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an amount equal to the excess of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have been charged if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in this Agreement, at all times, been in effect over (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued under this Agreement. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Agent and/or any Lender has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) other than interest, and if there are no Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) outstanding, the Agent and/or such Lender shall refund to such Borrower such excess.
2.4    Fees. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay the Agent the fees payable as set forth in the fee letter dated March 26, 2008, between the Agent and ATI (the “Fee Letter”).

13


2.5    Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each month and on the Termination Date the Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin for the Unused Line Fee times the amount by which the Total Facility Amount exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding amount of Revolving Loans and the average daily undrawn face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, during the immediately preceding month or shorter period if calculated for the first month hereafter or on the Termination Date. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, for the actual number of days elapsed. All principal payments received by the Agent shall be deemed to be credited to the applicable Borrower’s Loan Account immediately upon receipt for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee pursuant to this Section 2.5.
2.6    Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree (a) to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, (i) for each Commercial Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, a fee (the “Commercial Letter of Credit Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for the Commercial Letter of Credit Fee multiplied by the average daily undrawn amount available to be drawn on such Commercial Letter of Credit during the immediately preceding month and (ii) for each Standby Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, a fee (the “Standby Letter of Credit Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans multiplied by the average daily undrawn amount available to be drawn on such Standby Letter of Credit during the immediately preceding month, (b) to pay to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer a fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”) of one-eighth of one percent (.125%) of the undrawn face amount of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, and (c) to pay to the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, such out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by each Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with the application for, processing of, issuance of, or amendment to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, as the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer and such Borrower shall agree upon, but which costs, fees and expenses shall not include the Fronting Fee. The Commercial Letter of Credit Fee and the Standby Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month following any month in which such a Letter of Credit is outstanding and on the Termination Date. The Fronting Fee shall be payable on each date of issuance or renewal (automatic or otherwise) of each Letter of Credit. All fees described in this Section 2.6 shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, for the actual number of days elapsed.
ARTICLE 3
PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS
3.1    Revolving Loans. The Borrowers shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans made to them, plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, on the Termination Date. Any Borrower may prepay Revolving Loans at any time, and reborrow subject to the terms of this Agreement. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon demand by the Agent the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, for account of the Lenders, the amount, without duplication, by which the Aggregate Outstandings exceeds the lesser of the

14


Borrowing Base or the Total Facility Amount.
3.2    Termination of Facility. The Borrowers may terminate this Agreement upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Agent and the Lenders, upon (a) the payment in full of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, and the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit or such Letters of Credit being Fully Supported, (b) the payment in full in cash of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations, and (c) with respect to any LIBOR Loans prepaid, payment of the amounts due under Section 4.4, if any, in each case on or prior to the Termination Date.
3.3    Payments by the Borrowers.
(a)    All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers shall be made to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, at the account designated by the Agent and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by the Agent after such time shall be deemed (for purposes of calculating interest only) to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest shall continue to accrue.
(b)    Subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”, whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c)    If any LIBOR Loans are repaid prior to the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders the amounts described in Section 4.4.
3.4    Payments as Revolving Loans. At the election of Agent, all payments of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations in connection with Letters of Credit, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses and other sums payable hereunder that are due but have not been paid by the Borrowers at the date and time specified herein, may be paid from the proceeds of Revolving Loans made hereunder. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to charge the Loan Account of such Borrower for the purpose of paying all amounts from time to time due hereunder in respect of principal, interest or fees (or, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all other Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations)) and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Revolving Loans.
3.5    Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments.
(a)    Principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among

15


the Lenders, except for fees payable solely to Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuers and except as provided in Section 11.1(b).
(b)    After the occurrence of an Event of Default and the exercise of any of the remedies provided for in Section 9.2(a)(v), (vi), (vii) or (viii) or 9.2(b) (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit Obligations have been required to be Fully Supported), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent; second, to pay interest and principal due to the Bank in respect of all Non-Ratable Loans; third, to pay all fees, expenses and indemnities due to the Letter of Credit Issuers in respect of Letters of Credit; fourth, to pay any Obligations constituting fees due to the Lenders (other than fees relating to Bank Products); fifth, to pay interest due in respect of all Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans); sixth, to pay or prepay principal of all Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans) and unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit; sixth, to pay an amount to the Agent equal to all Letter of Credit Outstandings to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations; and seventh, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Agent, any Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Bank (including any Obligations arising under Bank Products).
(c)    Amounts distributed with respect to any Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of the applicable Bank Product Amount last reported to Agent or the actual Bank Product Amount as calculated by the methodology reported to Agent for determining the amount due. The Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon written notice of the amount (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) from the applicable Lender. In the absence of such notice, the Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is the Bank Product Amount last reported to it.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrowers, or unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments which it receives to any LIBOR Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Loan, or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans.
The Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations in accordance with the first sentence of Section 3.5(b). The allocations set forth in Section 3.5(b) are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Agent and Lenders as among themselves, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Credit Party; provided that all such amounts received by the Agent shall be (i) credited upon receipt to the Loan Account and applied towards payment of Obligations hereunder and (ii) shall not be applied to the payment of Bank Product Obligations prior to the payment in full of all other amounts specified in clauses first through sixth of Section 3.5(b).


16


3.6    Indemnity for Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Agent, any Lender, any Letter of Credit Issuer, the Bank or any Affiliate of the Bank (each an “Affected Payee”) is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Affected Payee and the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall be liable to pay to the Affected Payee, and hereby does indemnify the Affected Payee and holds harmless the Affected Payee, for the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 3.9 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Affected Payee in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Affected Payee’s rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 3.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3.7    Agent’s and Lenders’ Books and Records; Monthly Statements. The Agent shall record the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender, the undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of unpaid reimbursement obligations outstanding with respect to the Letters of Credit from time to time on its books. In addition, each Lender may note the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Lender’s Loans in its books and records. Failure by Agent or any Lender to make such notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrowers with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit. Each Borrower agrees that the Agent’s and each Lender’s books and records showing the Obligations and the transactions pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be admissible in any action or proceeding arising therefrom, and shall constitute rebuttably presumptive proof thereof (absent manifest error), irrespective of whether any Obligation is also evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument. The Agent will provide to ATI, on behalf of the Borrowers, a monthly statement of Loans, payments, and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement shall be deemed presumptively correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrowers and an account stated (except for reversals and reapplications of payments made as provided in Section 3.5 and corrections of errors discovered by the Agent), unless the Borrowers (or ATI on their behalf) notify the Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by a Borrower (or ATI on behalf of such Borrower), only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by such Borrower.
ARTICLE 4
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
4.1    Taxes.

17


(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments made to the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers or any Lender by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Borrower shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent, a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
(c)    Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender and each Letter of Credit Issuer, 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) paid by the Agent, such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability and in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts, delivered to any Borrower by a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or a Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(e)    Status of Lenders and Letter of Credit Issuers. Any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Requirements of Law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, if requested by such Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law

18


or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender or Foreign Letter of Credit Issuer shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which, in the case of a Foreign Lender, such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, or, in the case of a Foreign Letter of Credit Issuer, such Foreign Letter of Credit Issuer becomes a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of such Borrower or the Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender or Foreign Letter of Credit Issuer is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(i)    duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or any successor form, and any required attachments thereto, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(ii)    duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or any successor form, and any required attachments thereto,
(iii)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the applicable Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or any successor form, and any required attachments thereto, or
(iv)    any other documentation prescribed by the U.S. law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed and executed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by the U.S. law to permit the applicable Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Without limiting the generality of this Section 4.1(e), any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer that is not a Foreign Letter of Credit Issuer shall complete and deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) a statement signed by an authorized signatory of the Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to the effect that it is a United States person, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, together with duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor form, and any required attachments thereto, establishing that the Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax.

(f)    Mitigation. Each Lender and Letter of Credit Issuer shall use reasonable efforts (in the case of a Lender, including reasonable efforts to change its applicable

19


Lending Office) to avoid the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that such efforts would not subject such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such mitigation efforts.
(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Agent, any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it is entitled to receive a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1, it shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain such refund and upon receipt of any such refund shall promptly pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 4.1 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund, plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant Governmental Authority attributable thereto), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, 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 the Borrowers, upon the request of the Agent, such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent, such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer in the event the Agent, such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Agent, any Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.
4.2    Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Requirement of 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 LIBOR Loans, 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 Borrowers through the Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

20


4.3    Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR 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 Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Offshore Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or (c) that the Offshore Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR 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.
4.4    Increased Costs.
(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 reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or any Letter of Credit Issuer;
(ii)    subject any Lender or any Letter of Credit 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 LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.1 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer); or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR 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 LIBOR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Letter of Credit 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 such Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

21


(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments 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 such Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or any Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Letter of Credit 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 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
4.5    Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a)    any conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

22


(b)    any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers; or
(c)    any assignment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.8;
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 4.5, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Loan made by it at the LIBOR Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan was in fact so funded.
4.6    Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.4, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 4.2, then such Lender 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, provided that it would be an Eligible Assignee, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.4, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 4.2, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
4.7    Survival. All of the Borrowers' obligations under this Article 4 shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) hereunder.
4.8    Replacement of Lenders. (a) If and with respect to each occasion that a Lender other than the Agent either makes a demand for compensation pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.4 or is unable to fund LIBOR Loans pursuant to Section 4.2 or such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to each of such Lender and Agent, in whole permanently replace the Commitment of such Lender; provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such proposed replacement of the Commitment of such Lender, and (ii) the Borrowers shall replace such Commitment with the Commitment of a financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Agent (and such consent of the Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such replacement Lender shall upon the effective date of replacement purchase the Loans owed to such replaced Lender for the aggregate amount thereof and shall thereupon for all purposes become a “Lender” hereunder. Such notice

23


from the Borrowers shall specify an effective date for the replacement of such Lender’s Commitment, which date shall not be later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the day such notice is given. On the effective date of any replacement of such Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.8, the Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the account of such Lender (a) any fees due to such Lender to the date of such replacement; (b) accrued interest on the principal amount of outstanding Loans held by such Lender to the date of such replacement, and (c) the amount or amounts requested by such Lender pursuant to Article 4. On or before the effective date for the replacement of such Lender’s Commitment, the Borrowers will cause any Letter of Credit issued by such replaced Lender to be terminated or transferred to the replacement Lender or to another Lender. Upon the effective date of repayment of any Lender’s Loans, the termination or transfer of such Lender’s Letters of Credit and termination of such Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 4.8, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder. No such termination of any such Lender’s Commitment and the purchase of such Lender’s Loans and termination or transfer of such Lender’s Letters of Credit pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall affect (i) any liability or obligation of the Borrowers or any other Lender to such terminated Lender which accrued on or prior to the date of such termination or which by the terms of this Agreement expressly survive termination hereof or (ii) such terminated Lender’s rights hereunder in respect of any such liability or obligation.
ARTICLE 5

5.1    Books and Records. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, maintain, at all times, correct and complete books, records and accounts in which complete, correct and timely entries are made of its transactions in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the audited Financial Statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a).

Each Borrower shall, and shall cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain at all times books and records pertaining to the Collateral in such detail, form and scope as the Agent shall reasonably require, including, but not limited to, records of (a) all payments received and all credits and extensions granted with respect to the Accounts; (b) the return, rejection, repossession, stoppage in transit, loss, damage, or destruction of any Inventory; and (c) all other dealings affecting the Collateral.

Such statements shall be examined in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards by and, in the case of such statements performed on a consolidated basis, accompanied by a report thereon unqualified in any respect of independent certified public accountants selected by the Borrowers and reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to communicate directly with its certified public accountants and, by this provision, authorizes those accountants to disclose to the Agent any and all financial statements and other supporting financial documents and schedules relating to such Borrower and to discuss directly with the Agent the finances and affairs of such Borrower; provided, however, the Agent shall give ATI not less than five (5) days prior written notice of any such communication, disclosure or discussion and nothing in this Section 5.2(a) shall limit the right of any of the Borrowers to be present during any such discussions.
(b)    As soon as available, but in any event not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter (other than the last fiscal quarter of any Fiscal Year), a consolidated unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such period, income statement and cash flow statement for the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for such fiscal quarter and for the period from the beginning of the Fiscal Year to the end of such fiscal quarter, all in reasonable detail, fairly presenting the financial position and results of operations of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the date thereof and for such periods, and in each case in comparative form, figures for the corresponding period in the prior Fiscal Year, and prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the audited Financial Statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a) (subject to normal year-end adjustments), together with a report identifying all Unrestricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, if Liquidity shall be less than $50,000,000 at any time, the Financial Statements described in this Section 5.2(b) shall thereafter (until Liquidity is more than $50,000,000 for 90 consecutive days) be provided monthly no later than 30 days after the end of each month and be prepared on a monthly basis. Each Borrower shall certify by a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer that all such statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and results of operations for the periods then ended, subject to normal year-end adjustments.

(d)    Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each month during which any portion of an Illiquidity Period shall be in effect, a certificate of a Responsible Officer of ATI in the form of the applicable portion of Exhibit A hereto setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations required to establish that the Borrowers were in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 7.22 at the end of such month.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the documents and information required to be provided under this Section 5.2(j) shall be provided on a more frequent basis than set forth herein if and as requested by the Agent. If records or reports of the Collateral of the type required to be delivered hereunder are prepared by an accounting service or other agent, each Borrower hereby authorizes such service or agent to deliver such records, reports, and related documents (but only to the extent necessary to satisfy the foregoing reporting requirements) to the Agent, for distribution to the Lenders; provided however, the Agent shall give written notice to ATI not less than five (5) days prior to any such contact with such accounting service or agent.

ARTICLE 7
AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE COVENANTS
Each Borrower covenants to the Agent and each Lender that so long as any of the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) remain outstanding or this Agreement is in effect:
7.1    Taxes and Other Obligations. Each Borrower shall, and shall cause the Parent to, (a) file when due all U.S. federal and state income tax returns and other material returns and reports which it is required to file; and (b) pay, or provide for the payment, when due, of all U.S. federal taxes and other material taxes, fees, assessments and other charges of Governmental Authorities against it or upon its property, income and franchises, make all required withholding and other tax deposits, and establish adequate reserves for the payment of all such items, and provide to the Agent and the Lenders, upon request, satisfactory evidence of its timely compliance with the foregoing; provided, however, so long as ATI has notified the Agent in writing, none of the Parent or the Borrowers need pay any tax, fee, assessment, or governmental charge (i) it is contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently pursued, (ii) as to which the Parent or such Borrower, as the case may be, has established proper reserves as required under GAAP, and (iii) the nonpayment of which does not result in the imposition of a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien).
7.2    Legal Existence and Good Standing. Except as otherwise permitted under Sections 7.10(a)(ix) or 7.16(a), each Borrower shall, and shall cause the Parent to, maintain its legal existence and its qualification and good standing in all jurisdictions in which the failure to maintain such existence and qualification or good standing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
7.3    Compliance with Law and Agreements; Maintenance of Licenses. Each Borrower shall comply, and shall cause the Parent to comply, in all material respects with all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business (including the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act and all Environmental Laws) where the failure to so comply could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Borrower shall obtain and maintain, and shall cause the Parent to obtain and maintain, all material licenses, permits, franchises, and governmental authorizations necessary to own its property and to conduct its business as conducted from time to time in compliance with the terms hereof. No Borrower shall modify,

36


amend or alter, or permit the Parent to modify, amend or alter, its certificate or articles of incorporation, or its limited liability company operating agreement or limited partnership agreement, as applicable, other than in a manner which does not adversely affect the rights and interests of the Lenders or the Agent.
7.4    Maintenance of Property; Appraisals and Inspection of Property.
(a)    Each Borrower shall maintain, and shall cause the Parent to maintain, all of its property material to the operation of its business in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and, subject to Section 7.6, loss or damage from casualty or condemnation excepted.
(b)    Each Borrower shall permit, and shall cause the Parent to permit, representatives and independent contractors of the Agent to visit and inspect any of its or the other Credit Parties’ properties, to conduct appraisals and audits of Collateral, 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 directors, officers and independent public accountants, at reasonable times during normal business hours; provided, however, that (i) if Liquidity is equal to or greater than $100,000,000 at all times during any Fiscal Year, the Agent shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers for expenses in connection with, only one field exam and one inventory and fixed asset appraisal during such Fiscal Year, (ii) if Liquidity is less than $100,000,000 at any time during any Fiscal Year, the Agent shall thereafter be reimbursed by the Borrowers for expenses in connection with, up to three field exams and up to two inventory and fixed asset appraisals during such Fiscal Year, and (iii) if any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(a), (b), (c)(i) or (ii), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (k), (l) or (m) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers for all expenses in connection with, all field exams and appraisals requested by the Agent in its reasonable judgment.
7.5    Insurance.
(a)    Each Borrower shall maintain, and shall cause the Parent to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers having a rating of at least A- or better by Best Rating Guide, insurance of such types as is customary for Persons of similar size engaged in the same or similar business in amounts and under policies reasonably acceptable to the Agent and otherwise as is customary for Persons of similar size engaged in the same or similar types of business. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any improved Real Estate covered by the Mortgages is determined to be located within an area that has been identified by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a Special Flood Hazard Area (“SFHA”), each Borrower shall purchase and maintain flood insurance on the improved Real Estate and any Equipment and Inventory located on such Real Estate. The amount of said flood insurance shall, at a minimum, comply with applicable federal regulations as required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended. Each Borrower shall also maintain flood insurance for its Inventory and Equipment which is, at any time, located in a SFHA.
(b)    Each Borrower shall cause the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the

37


Agent and the Lenders, to be named as secured party or mortgagee and sole loss payee or additional insured with respect to each policy described in the foregoing clause (a) of this Section 7.5, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Each such policy of insurance shall contain a clause or endorsement requiring the insurer to give not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever and a clause or endorsement stating that the interest of the Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of the Parent, any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the owner of any Real Estate or the use of such Real Property by any of them for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such policy. All premiums for such insurance shall be paid by the Borrowers when due, and certificates of insurance and, if reasonably requested by the Agent, photocopies of the policies, shall be delivered to the Agent, in each case in sufficient quantity for distribution by the Agent to each of the Lenders. If any Borrower fails to procure such insurance or to pay the premiums therefor when due, the Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, do so from the proceeds of Revolving Loans.
7.6    Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. Each Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent and the Lenders of any material loss, damage, or destruction to the Collateral, whether or not covered by insurance. The Agent is hereby authorized to collect all property insurance and condemnation proceeds in respect of Collateral in an amount in excess of $500,000 for any incident (“Excess Proceeds”) directly and to apply or remit them as follows:
(a)    With respect to insurance and condemnation proceeds relating to Collateral other than Fixed Assets, after deducting from such proceeds the reasonable expenses, if any, incurred by the Agent in the collection or handling thereof, the Agent may in its discretion remit such proceeds to the Borrowers or apply such proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations in the order provided for in Section 7.25 or, if applicable, Section 3.5.
(b)    With respect to insurance and condemnation proceeds relating to Collateral consisting of Fixed Assets, the Agent shall permit or require the applicable Borrower to use such proceeds, or any part thereof, to replace, repair, restore or rebuild the relevant Fixed Assets in a diligent and expeditious manner with materials and workmanship of substantially the same quality as existed before the loss, damage or destruction so long as (1) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (2) the aggregate proceeds do not exceed $3,000,000 and (3) ATI or such Borrower first (i) provides the Agent with plans and specifications for any such replacement, repair or restoration which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and (ii) demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent that the funds available to it will be sufficient to complete such project in the manner provided therein. In all other circumstances, the Agent may in its discretion remit such proceeds to the Borrowers or apply such insurance and condemnation proceeds to the reduction of the Obligations in the order provided for in Section 7.25 or, if applicable, Section 3.5.

38


Any such proceeds other than Excess Proceeds may be retained by the Borrowers.
7.7    Environmental Laws.
(a)    Each Borrower shall, and shall cause the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries to, conduct its business in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to it, including those relating to the generation, handling, use, storage, and disposal of any Contaminant unless the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause the Parent and each of its Subsidiaries to, take prompt and appropriate action to respond to any such non-compliance with Environmental Laws and shall regularly report to the Agent on such response.
(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ATI shall submit to the Agent and the Lenders annually, commencing on the date that occurs one year after the Effective Date, and on each such anniversary date of the Effective Date thereafter, copies of any material notices received by the Borrowers from any Governmental Authority under any Environmental Law, if any, and copies of any environmental reports prepared by the Borrowers, in each case prepared by or received by the Borrowers during such prior year, if any. The Agent or any Lender may request copies of technical reports prepared by any Borrower and its communications with any Governmental Authority to determine whether such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is proceeding reasonably to correct, cure or contest in good faith any alleged non-compliance or environmental liability. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, each Borrower shall, at the Agent’s or the Required Lenders’ request and at the applicable Borrower’s expense, with respect to any Real Property owned by any Borrower that is part of the Collateral (i) retain an independent environmental engineer acceptable to the Agent to evaluate the site, including tests if appropriate, where the Agent has a reasonable basis to believe any material non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with Environmental Laws has occurred and prepare and deliver to the Agent, in sufficient quantity for distribution by the Agent to the Lenders, a report setting forth the results of such evaluation, a proposed plan for responding to any environmental problems described therein, and an estimate of the costs thereof, and (ii) provide to the Agent and the Lenders a supplemental report of such engineer whenever the scope of the environmental problems, or the response thereto or the estimated costs thereof, shall increase in any material respect; provided that the Agent and its representatives will have the right at any reasonable time to enter and visit such Real Property and for the purposes of observing such Real Property. The Agent is under no duty, however, to visit or observe any Real Property owned by any Borrower that is part of the Collateral or to conduct tests, and any such acts by the Agent will be solely for the purposes of protecting the Agent’s Liens and preserving the Agent and the Lenders’ rights under the Loan Documents. No site visit, observation or testing by the Agent and the Lenders will result in a waiver of any default of any Borrower or impose any liability on the Agent or the Lenders. In no event will any site visit, observation or testing by the Agent be a representation that hazardous substances are or are not present in, on or under such Real Property, or that there has been or will be compliance with any Environmental Law. None of the Borrowers, any other Credit Party nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or testing by the Agent. The Agent and the Lenders owe no duty of care to protect the Borrowers, any other Credit Party or any other party against, or to inform

39


the Borrowers, any other Credit Party or any other party of, any hazardous substances or any other adverse condition affecting any Real Property owned by any Borrower that is part of the Collateral. The Agent may in its discretion disclose to the Borrowers or to any other party if so required by any Requirement of Law any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation or testing by the Agent. Each Borrower understands and agrees that the Agent makes no warranty or representation to the Borrowers or any other party regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of any such report or findings that may be disclosed. Each Borrower also understands that depending on the results of any site visit, observation or testing by the Agent and disclosed to the Borrowers, the Borrowers, the Parent, or its Subsidiaries may have a legal obligation to notify one or more environmental agencies of the results, that such reporting requirements are site-specific, and are to be evaluated by the applicable Borrower without advice or assistance from the Agent. In each instance, the Agent will give the applicable Borrower reasonable notice before entering such Real Property. The Agent will make reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with such Borrower’s or any other Credit Party’s use of such Real Property or any other property in exercising any rights provided hereunder.

(a)    Until the Agent notifies ATI to the contrary, the Credit Parties shall make collection of all Accounts and other Collateral for the Agent, shall receive all payments as the Agent’s trustee, and shall immediately deliver all payments in their original form duly endorsed in blank into one or more Approved Deposit Accounts established in the name of such Credit Party. All amounts deposited into such Approved Deposit Accounts shall be swept on a daily basis and transferred to the Payment Account for further dispersal subject to the Blocked Account Agreement. None of the Borrowers shall make any material change in their cash management practices, including any change that would cause amounts held in any Approved Deposit Account not to be swept on a daily basis to the Payment Account. Following receipt of written notice from the Agent that an Activation Period (as defined below) exists and until receipt of written notice from the Agent that all Activation Periods have terminated, the Clearing Bank shall not permit any Credit Party to make any withdrawals from the Payment Account. Prior to or after the termination of an Activation Period, the Credit Parties shall have the right to operate and transact business through the Payment Account in normal fashion, including making withdrawals from the Payment Account, but covenants to the Agent it will not close the Payment Account. No later than two (2) Business Days following the commencement of the Activation Period, and continuing on each Business Day thereafter, the Clearing Bank shall transfer all collected and available balances in the Payment Account to the Agent as the Agent shall direct. The “Activation Period” means each period which (a) commences upon the day that either (i) Liquidity is less than $37,500,000 or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) terminates on the day Liquidity is in excess of $50,000,000 for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive days or such Event of Default has been waived, as applicable. The agreement herein regarding the definition of “Activation Period” and the dollar amount $37,500,000 shall supersede any agreement between ATI and the Agent contained in the Blocked Account Agreement, and the parties hereto agree that the dollar amount of $30,000,000 contained in paragraph 1(f) of the Blocked Account Agreement shall be deemed to be “$37,500,000” for the purpose of determining whether an “Activation Event” has occurred thereunder.
(b)    On or prior to the Effective Date, the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Agent (i) notifications executed by each of the Borrowers to each depository institution identified on Schedule 6.25 in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of the Agent’s interest in each related Deposit Account (each, a “DDA Notification”), which DDA Notifications shall be held in escrow by the Agent until the occurrence of an Activation Period, at which time the Agent may, in its discretion, forward such DDA Notifications to the applicable institutions, and (ii) notifications executed on behalf of the Borrowers to each credit card processor identified on Schedule 6.25 in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of the Agent’s interest in

51


all related credit card receivable proceeds (each, a “Credit Card Notification”), which Credit Card Notifications the Agent may, in its discretion, forward to the applicable credit card processors at any time. The DDA Notifications and the Credit Card Notifications shall require during the continuance of an Activation Period, the sweep on each Business Day of all available cash receipts and other proceeds from the sale or disposition of any Collateral, including, without limitation, the proceeds of all credit card receivables (all such cash receipts and proceeds, “Cash Receipts”) (and with respect to institutions which maintain a Deposit Account net of a minimum balance not to exceed $10,000) to the Payment Account.
(c)    The Borrowers may close Deposit Accounts and/or open new Deposit Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Agent of appropriate DDA Notifications consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.25. Unless consented to in writing by the Agent, the Borrowers may not enter into any agreements with additional credit card processors unless, contemporaneously therewith, a Credit Card Notification is executed and delivered to the Agent.
(d)    If at any time during the continuance of an Activation Period, any cash or cash equivalents owned by the Borrowers and constituting proceeds of Collateral are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, other than in an Approved Deposit Account, the Agent may require the Borrowers to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to the Payment Account, or such other Approved Deposit Account as the Agent may direct.
(e)    In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.25, during the continuance of an Activation Period, the Borrowers receive or otherwise have dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections of Collateral, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by the Borrowers for the Agent and shall not be commingled with any of the Borrowers’ other funds or deposited in any account of any Borrower other than as instructed by the Agent.
(f)    All payments received by the Agent during an Activation Period at a bank account designated by it, will be the Agent’s sole property for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, will be credited to the Loan Account immediately (conditional upon final collection) if received no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) and otherwise on the next Business Day and shall be applied to outstanding Obligations as follows: first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent; second, to pay interest and principal due to the Bank in respect of all Non-Ratable Loans; third, to pay all fees, expenses and indemnities due to the Letter of Credit Issuers in respect of Letters of Credit; fourth, to pay any Obligations constituting fees due to the Lenders (other than fees relating to Bank Products); fifth, to pay interest due in respect of all Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans); and sixth, to pay or prepay principal of all Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans) and unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit; with any excess after all such applications of payment being released to the Borrowers.

(a)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Agent may, in its discretion, and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, do one or more of the following at any time or times and in any order, without notice to or demand on the Borrowers: (i) reduce advance rates against any amounts used in calculating the Borrowing Base or otherwise reduce one or more other elements of the Borrowing Base, effective only for so long as such Event of Default continues without being waived; (ii) reduce the Total Facility Amount, effective only for so long as such Event of Default continues without being waived; (iii) restrict the amount of or refuse to make Revolving Loans, effective only for so long as such Event of Default continues without being waived; and (iv) restrict or refuse to provide Letters of Credit, effective only for so long as such Event of Default continues without being waived; (v) terminate the Commitments; (vi) declare any or all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 9.1(e), 9.1(f), 9.1(g), or 9.1(h) as to any Credit Party, the Commitments shall automatically and immediately expire and all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) shall automatically become immediately due and payable without notice or demand of any kind; (vii) require the Borrowers to Fully Support all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations; and/or (viii) pursue its other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law. Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to ATI of any remedy or other action described under this Section 9.2(a), but the failure to give such notice shall not impair any right or remedy otherwise available to the Agent or create any right or remedy in favor of any Credit Party or liability of the Agent or any Lender.
(b)    If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) the Agent shall have for the benefit of the Lenders, in addition to all other rights of the Agent and the Lenders, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Loan Documents and the UCC; (ii) the Agent may, at any time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it on the applicable Borrower’s premises, at no cost to the Agent or any Lender, or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Agent may desire, or the applicable Borrower shall, upon the Agent’s demand, at such Borrower’s cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at a place reasonably convenient to the Agent; and (iii) the Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Agent deems advisable in its sole discretion and may, if the Agent deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale without giving a new notice of sale. Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following manner, each Borrower agrees that any notice by the Agent of sale, disposition or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to such Borrower if such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action to such Borrower’s address specified in or pursuant to Section 14.8. If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Agent or the Lenders receive payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, the Agent may resell the Collateral without further notice to such Borrower. In the event the Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by

58


judicial process, each Borrower irrevocably waives: (A) the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required; (B) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (C) any requirement that the Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment. Each Borrower agrees that the Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. To the extent not prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law or by any material contract of any Credit Party, the Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, such Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property, in completing production of, advertising or selling any Collateral, and such Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the Agent’s benefit for such purpose. The proceeds of sale shall be applied first to all expenses of sale, including attorneys’ fees, and then to the Obligations. The Agent will return any excess to such Borrower and such Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency.
(c)    If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, each Borrower hereby waives all rights to notice and hearing prior to the exercise by the Agent of the Agent’s rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to reply, attach or levy upon the Collateral without notice or hearing.
ARTICLE 10
TERM AND TERMINATION
10.1    Term and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall end on the Stated Termination Date unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon the effective date of termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) (including all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and any early termination or prepayment fees or penalties) shall become immediately due and payable and the Borrowers shall immediately arrange for the Letters of Credit then outstanding to be Fully Supported.

(a)    Except as otherwise provided for herein or in such other Loan Documents, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by any Borrower or any other Credit Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and each Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the Lenders and each Borrower and acknowledged by the Agent, do any of the following:

59


(i)    increase or extend the Commitment of the Lenders (provided that if any Lender desires to increase its Commitment and such increase would not result in an increase in the aggregate Commitments, only the consent of such Lender shall be required for such increase);
(ii)    postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(b)    If any fees are paid to the Lenders as consideration for amendments, waivers or consents with respect to this Agreement, at Agent’s election, such fees may be paid only to those Lenders that agree to such amendments, waivers or consents within the time specified for submission thereof.

60


(c)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this clause (c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrowers’ request, the Agent or an Eligible Assignee shall have the right (but not the obligation) with the Agent’s approval, to purchase from the Non-Consenting Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall sell, all the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments for an amount equal to the principal balances thereof and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale pursuant to Assignment and Acceptance Agreement(s), without premium or discount.
11.2    Assignments; Participations.
(a)    Any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all, or any ratable part of all, of the Loans, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (provided that, unless an assignor Lender has assigned and delegated all of its Loans and Commitments, no such assignment and/or delegation shall be permitted unless, after giving effect thereto, such assignor Lender retains a Commitment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000); provided, however, that the Borrowers and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrowers (or ATI on behalf of the Borrowers) and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee; (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrowers (or ATI on behalf of the Borrowers) and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance in the form of Exhibit F (“Assignment and Acceptance”) together with any note or notes subject to such assignment and (iii) the assignor Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500. Each Borrower agrees to promptly execute and deliver promissory notes and replacement promissory notes as reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender to evidence assignments of the Loans and Commitments in accordance herewith.
(b)    From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assignor Lender that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations, including, but not limited to, the obligation to participate in Letters of Credit have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

61


(c)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto or the attachment, perfection, or priority of any Lien granted by any Borrower to the Agent or any Lender in the Collateral; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or the performance or observance by any Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers, including the discretionary rights and incidental power, as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d)    Immediately upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 11.2(a), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.
(e)    Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons not Affiliates of any Borrower (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, the Commitment of that Lender and the other interests of that Lender (the “originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) the originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the originating Lender in connection with the originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has rights to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document except the matters set forth in Section 11.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii), and (v) all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same limitation as if the

62


amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. If a Lender sells a participating interest in its Loans, commitments or other interests hereunder as described above, such Lender shall thereafter maintain at its address specified on the signature pages hereto, as agent for the Borrowers, a register (the “Participation Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Participant and the principal amounts of each such participation. A Participant may not, with respect to such participation, enter into any subparticipation or otherwise subdivide, sell, transfer or assign any of its rights therein without prior written consent of the applicable Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event that the Lender consents to the proposed subparticipation, sale, transfer or assignment of or with respect to any participation (any such subdivision, sale, transfer or assignment, a “Transfer”), the Lender shall thereafter maintain at its address specified on the signature pages hereto a copy of the written consent to such Transfer and shall record the names and addresses of each transferee (a “Transferee”) and the principal amount of each such Transfer in the Participation Register. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.1 or 4.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.1 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 4.1(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.14, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
ARTICLE 12
THE AGENT
12.1    Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Bank as its Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article 12. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended

63


to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including (a) the determination of the applicability of ineligibility criteria with respect to the calculation of the Borrowing Base, (b) the making of Agent Advances pursuant to Section 1.2(i), and (c) the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 9.2, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Lenders.
12.2    Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.3    Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower or any of any Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
12.4    Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,

64


under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if so required by Section 11.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
12.5    Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 9; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.
12.6    Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower and its respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of each Borrower and its respective Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.
12.7    Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities as such term is defined in Section 14.11; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting directly from such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the

65


Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.
12.8    Agent in Individual Capacity. The Bank and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Borrower and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though the Bank were not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Bank or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Borrower, its respective Affiliates and Account Debtors (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Borrower or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that the Agent and the Bank shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, the Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include the Bank in its individual capacity.
12.9    Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers (or to ATI on behalf of the Borrowers), such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Agent. In the event the Bank sells all of its Commitment and Revolving Loans as part of a sale, transfer or other disposition by the Bank of substantially all of its loan portfolio, the Bank shall resign as Agent and such purchaser or transferee shall become the successor Agent hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, if the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 12 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

66


12.10    Collateral Matters.
(a)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Agent’s Liens upon any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Loans and reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, and the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit (whether or not any of such obligations are due) and all other Obligations; (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if such Borrower certifies to the Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with Section 7.10 (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which such Borrower owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) constituting property leased to such Borrower under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, the Agent will not release any of the Agent’s Liens without the prior written authorization of the Lenders; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Agent’s Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during each Fiscal Year without the prior written authorization of the Lenders and the Agent may release the Agent’s Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $10,000,000 during each Fiscal Year with the prior written authorization of Required Lenders. Upon request by the Agent or the Borrowers at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release any Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.10.
(b)    Upon receipt by the Agent of any authorization required pursuant to Section 12.10(a) from the Lenders of the Agent’s authority to release Agent’s Liens upon particular types or items of Collateral, and upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written request by the Borrowers, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Agent’s Liens upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by such Borrower, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.
(c)    The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any

67


of the foregoing.
12.11    Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.
(a)    Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Agent and the Required Lenders, set off against the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations), any amounts owing by such Lender to any Borrower or any accounts of any Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Agent, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Borrower, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.
(b)    If at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) of any Borrower to such Lender arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender shall promptly (1) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in same day funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.
12.12    Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints the Agent and each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions.
12.13    Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by the Agent to the Lenders shall be made promptly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by bank wire transfer or internal transfer of immediately available funds to each Lender pursuant to wire transfer instructions delivered in writing to the Agent on or prior to the Effective Date (or if such Lender is an Assignee, on the applicable Assignment and Acceptance), or pursuant to such other wire transfer

68


instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium or interest on the Revolving Loans or otherwise. Unless the Agent receives notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that such Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.
12.14    Settlement.
(a)    (i) Each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the Lenders to be equal at all times to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding such agreement, the Agent, the Bank, and the other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of or enforceable by the Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Revolving Loans, the Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:
(ii)    The Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis at Agent’s election, (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, and (C) with respect to collections received, in each case, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Bank, in the case of Non-Ratable Loans and the Agent in the case of Agent Advances) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances with respect to each Settlement to the Agent, to Agent’s account, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Settlement Date applicable thereto. Settlements may occur during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have then been satisfied. Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and, together with the portion of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance representing the Bank’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders. If any such amount required hereunder to be so transferred is not transferred to the Agent by any Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after the Settlement

69


Date and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans (A) on behalf of the Bank, with respect to each outstanding Non-Ratable Loan, and (B) for itself, with respect to each Agent Advance, but only to the extent such amount is not paid by such Borrower.
(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, not more than one (1) Business Day after demand is made by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether the Agent has requested a Settlement with respect to a Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance), each other Lender (A) shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase and receive from the Bank or the Agent, as applicable, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance and (B) if Settlement has not previously occurred with respect to such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances, upon demand by Bank or Agent, as applicable, shall pay to Bank or Agent, as applicable, as the purchase price of such participation an amount equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by any Lender, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days from and after such demand and thereafter at the Interest Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, but only to the extent such amount is not paid by such Borrower.
(iv)    From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender purchases an undivided interest and participation in any Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Non-Ratable Loan or Agent Advance.
(v)    Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the extent no Agent Advances are outstanding, may pay over to the Bank any payments received by the Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Bank’s Revolving Loans including Non-Ratable Loans. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Bank’s Revolving Loans (other than to Non-Ratable Loans or Agent Advances in which such Lender has not yet funded its purchase of a participation pursuant to clause (iii) above), as provided for in the previous sentence, the Bank shall pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lenders, an amount such that each Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Bank with respect to Non-Ratable Loans, the Agent with respect to Agent Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the actual average daily amount of funds employed by the Bank, the Agent and the other Lenders.

70


(vi)    Unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender to the contrary, the Agent may assume that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 have been satisfied and the requested Borrowing will not exceed Availability on any Funding Date for a Revolving Loan or Non-Ratable Loan.
(b)    Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Revolving Loans (other than Non-Ratable Loans and Agent Advances) shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligation to make any Revolving Loans hereunder, and (iii) the obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several, not joint and several.
(c)    Defaulting Lenders. Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Effective Date or, with respect to any Borrowing after the Effective Date, at least one Business Day prior to the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Funding Date. Furthermore, the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If any Lender has not transferred, on the date required hereunder, its full Pro Rata Share of any required funding to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent has transferred the corresponding amount to a Borrower, such Lender, on the Business Day following such date, shall make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for that day. A notice by the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If a Lender’s full Pro Rata Share is transferred to the Agent as required, the amount transferred to the Agent shall constitute that Lender’s Revolving Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If that amount is not transferred to the Agent on the Business Day following the Funding Date, the Agent will notify the applicable Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising that particular Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Funding Date (any such Lender, prior to the cure of such failure, being hereinafter referred to as a “Defaulting Lender”) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on that Funding Date. No Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to advance such other Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing.
(d)    Retention of Defaulting Lender’s Payments. The Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by any Borrower to the Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit; nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder. Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained

71


by the Agent. In its discretion, the Agent may loan any Borrower the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Any amounts so loaned to any Borrower shall bear interest at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Revolving Loans, provided, however, that for purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender”. Until a Defaulting Lender cures its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing (A) such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any portion of the Unused Line Fee and (B) the Unused Line Fee shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested Borrowing and shall be allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative Commitments. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder.
12.15    Letters of Credit; Intra-Lender Issues.
(a)    Notice of Letter of Credit Balance. On each Settlement Date the Agent shall notify each Lender of the issuance of all Letters of Credit since the prior Settlement Date.
(b)    Participations in Letters of Credit.
(i)    Purchase of Participations. Immediately upon issuance of any Letter of Credit or the making of any L/C Borrowing in accordance with Section 1.3(d) or (e), as applicable, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit (including all obligations of the applicable Borrower with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto) or the amount of such L/C Borrowing, as applicable..
(ii)    Sharing of Reimbursement Obligation Payments. Whenever the Agent receives a payment from a Borrower on account of reimbursement obligations in respect of a Letter of Credit or L/C Borrowing as to which the Agent has previously received for the account of a Letter of Credit Issuer thereof payment from a Lender, the Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment from such Borrower. Each such payment shall be made by the Agent on the next Settlement Date.
(iii)    Documentation. Upon the request of any Lender, the Agent shall, to the extent delivered to the Agent by the applicable Letter of Credit Issuer, furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit, reimbursement agreements executed in connection therewith, applications for any Letter of Credit, and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender.

72


(iv)    Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of each Lender to make payments to the Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or with respect to their participation therein or with respect to the Revolving Loans made as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit and the obligations of any Borrower for whose account the Letter of Credit was issued to make payments in respect thereof in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, shall be irrevocable and shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including any of the following circumstances:
(1)    any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
(2)    the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which such Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Lender, the Agent, the issuer of such Letter of Credit, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between such Borrower or any other Person and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);
(3)    any draft, certificate or any other document presented under the 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;
(4)    the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;
(5)    the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or
(6)    the failure of such Borrower to satisfy the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 8.
(c)    Recovery or Avoidance of Payments; Refund of Payments In Error. In the event any payment by or on behalf of a Borrower received by the Agent with respect to any Letter of Credit or L/C Borrowing and distributed by the Agent to the Lenders on account of their respective participations therein is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Agent in connection with any receivership, liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, the Lenders shall, upon demand by the Agent, pay to the Agent their respective Pro Rata Shares of such amount set aside, avoided or recovered, together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Agent upon the

73


amount required to be repaid by it. Unless the Agent receives notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that such Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date in immediately available funds and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent such Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.
(d)    Indemnification by Lenders. To the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder, the Lenders agree to indemnify the Letter of Credit Issuers ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Letter of Credit Issuer in any way relating to or arising out of any Letter of Credit or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document in connection therewith; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent it arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Letter of Credit Issuer to be indemnified. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Letter of Credit Issuer promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any costs or expenses payable by any Borrower to such Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent that any Letter of Credit Issuer is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by such Borrower. The agreement contained in this Section shall survive payment in full of all other Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations).
12.16    Concerning the Collateral and the Related Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the other Loan Documents, for the ratable benefit and obligation of the Agent and the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, of their respective powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that the Revolving Loans, reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit, Agent Advances, Non-Ratable Loans, Bank Products and all interest, fees and expenses hereunder constitute one Debt, secured pari passu by all of the Collateral.
12.17    Field Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

74


(a)    is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or on behalf of the Agent;
(b)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that neither the Bank nor the Agent (i) makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, or (ii) shall be liable for any information contained in any Report;
(c)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agent or the Bank or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Borrowers and will rely significantly upon the Borrowers’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Borrowers’ personnel; and
(d)    without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of any Borrower; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses and other amounts (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

ARTICLE 13
GUARANTEES
13.1    Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, the full and prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or

75


earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, of all of the Obligations, whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished or hereafter increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether enforceable or unenforceable as against any other Borrower, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due (all such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”) This Section 13.1 continues, reaffirms and amends, as the case may be, the guarantees under the Original Subsidiary Agreements and the Restated Subsidiary Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Borrower individually with respect to its Guaranteed Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
13.2    Contribution. The Borrowers hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Borrower shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Borrower shall have a right of contribution from each other Borrower in an amount equal to such other Borrower’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Borrower under this paragraph shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments have been terminated, and none of the Borrowers shall exercise any right or remedy under this paragraph against any other Borrower until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments have been terminated. For purposes of this paragraph, (a) “Excess Payment” shall mean the amount paid by any Borrower pursuant to this Article 13 in excess of its Pro Rata Guaranty Share of any Guaranteed Obligations; (b) “Pro Rata Guaranty Share” shall mean, for any Borrower in respect of any payment of Obligations by such Borrower, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such payment of Guaranteed Obligations of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Borrower (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Borrower hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of all of the Borrowers exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder) of the Borrowers; provided, however, that, for purpose of calculating the Pro Rata Guaranty Shares of the Borrowers in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations, any Borrower that became a Borrower subsequent to the date of any such payment shall be deemed to have been a Borrower on the date of such payment and the financial information for such Borrower as of the date such Borrower became a Borrower shall be utilized for such Borrower in connection with such payment; and (c) “Contribution Share” shall mean, for any Borrower in respect of any Excess Payment made by any other Borrower, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) as of the date of such Excess Payment of (i) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Borrower (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Borrower hereunder) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of the Borrowers other than the maker of such Excess Payment exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but

76


excluding the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder) of the Borrowers other than the maker of such Excess Payment; provided, however, that, for purposes of calculating the Contribution Shares of the Borrowers in respect of any Excess Payment, any Borrower that became a Borrower subsequent to the date of any such Excess Payment shall be deemed to have been a Borrower on the date of such Excess Payment and the financial information for such Borrower as of the date such Borrower became a Borrower shall be utilized for such Borrower in connection with such Excess Payment.
13.3    Waivers; Other Agreements.    (i) Subject to the terms hereof, the Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrowers (subject to any additional authorization required by the Lenders or the Required Lenders), without notice to or demand upon any Borrower, which notice or demand is expressly waived under this Article 13, and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Borrower under this Article 13 (which shall remain absolute and unconditional notwithstanding any such action or omission to act), from time to time, to:
(A)    supplement, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, the Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument (including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to the Agent, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon;
(B)    waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with any provision of any instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other instrument or agreement in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (including this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to the Agent;
(C)    accept partial payments on the Guaranteed Obligations;
(D)    receive, take and hold additional security or collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or for the payment of any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations or other liabilities of any Borrower, and exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, transfer, otherwise alter and release any such additional security or collateral;
(E)    apply any and all such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Agent may determine in its sole discretion;
(F)    settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations or accept, substitute, release, exchange or otherwise alter, affect or impair any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty therefor, in any manner;

77


(G)    add, release or substitute any one or more other guarantors, makers or endorsers of the Guaranteed Obligations and otherwise enforce its rights under the Loan Documents against any Borrower or any other guarantor, maker or endorser as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion;
(H)    apply any and all payments or recoveries from any Borrower, from any other guarantor, maker or endorser of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Obligations in such order as provided in Section 3.5 hereof, whether such Guaranteed Obligations are secured or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by others;
(I)    apply any and all payments or recoveries from any Borrower or any other guarantor, maker or endorser of the Guaranteed Obligations or sums realized from security furnished by any of them upon any of their indebtedness or obligations to the Agent as the Agent in its sole discretion, may determine, whether or not such indebtedness or obligations relate to the Guaranteed Obligations; and
(J)    refund at any time, at the Agent’s sole discretion, any payment received by the Agent in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, and payment to the Agent of the amount so refunded shall be fully guaranteed hereby even though prior thereto this Agreement shall have been cancelled or surrendered (or any release or termination of any collateral by virtue thereof) by the Agent, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower hereunder in respect of the amount so refunded (and any collateral so released or terminated shall be reinstated with respect to such obligations);
even if any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Borrower is extinguished, affected or impaired by any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any election of remedies by reason of any judicial, non-judicial or other proceeding in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations which impairs any subrogation, reimbursement or other right of such Borrower).
The foregoing provisions are intended to eliminate suretyship defenses and are not intended to affect the operation of Section 11.1.
(ii)    Each Borrower hereby waives, with respect to this Article 13:
(A)    any requirements of diligence or promptness on the part of the Agent;
(B)    presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations;
(C)    notices (I) of nonperformance, (II) of acceptance of this Agreement, (III) of default in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, (IV) of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional indebtedness, arising either from additional loans extended

78


to any Borrower or otherwise, (V) that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations is due, (VI) of any and all proceedings to collect from any Borrower, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or from anyone else, and (VII) of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or collateral given to the Agent to secure payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any guaranty therefor;
(D)    any right to require the Agent to (I) proceed first against any other Borrower, or any other person whatsoever, (II) proceed against or exhaust any security given to or held by the Agent in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or (III) pursue any other remedy in the Agent’s power whatsoever;
(E)    any defense arising by reason of (I) any disability or other defense of any Borrower, (II) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower, (III) any act or omission of the Agent or others which directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or any security given to or held by the Agent in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations;
(F)    any and all other suretyship defenses under applicable law; and
(G)    the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guaranteed Obligations or such Borrower’s liability under this Article 13 or the enforcement of this Article 13.
In connection with the foregoing, each Borrower covenants that the provisions of this Article 13 shall not be discharged, except by complete performance of the obligations contained herein.

(iii)    Each Borrower hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Borrower, of any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal and each Borrower hereby agrees that the Agent shall not have any duty to advise any Borrower of information known to the Agent regarding such condition or any such circumstances.
(iv)    Each Borrower hereby agrees that any Debt of any other Borrower now or hereafter owing to such Borrower is hereby subordinated to all of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Subordinated Debt”), and that without the prior consent of the Agent, the Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, the commitments of the Lenders to extend credit under the Credit Agreement have been terminated, no Letters of Credit are outstanding and the Credit Agreement has been terminated and is of no further force or effect, except that payments of principal and interest on the Subordinated Debt shall be permitted so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing to the extent such payments would not render such Borrower

79


incapable of performing the Guaranteed Obligations. No Borrower will accept any payment of or on account of any Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. At the request of the Agent, each Borrower shall pay to the Agent all or any part of the Subordinated Debt and any amount so paid to the Agent shall be applied to payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each payment on the Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by the relevant Borrower as trustee for the Agent and shall be paid over to the Agent immediately on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner such Borrower’s liability under any of the provisions of this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees to file all claims against any other Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Subordinated Debt, and the Agent shall be entitled to all of such Borrower’s right thereunder. If for any reason the relevant Borrower fails to file such claim at least thirty (30) days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, the Agent, as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, is hereby authorized to do so in such Borrower’s name or, in the Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Borrower hereby assigns to the Agent all such Borrower’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Borrower otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Borrower’s liability hereunder, the Agent will pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto. In addition, until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, each Borrower hereby appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of such Borrower’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of any other Borrower.
13.4    Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Borrower hereby expressly agrees that this Article 13 is a continuing, unconditional guaranty of payment and not of collection and its obligations under this Article 13 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged or otherwise affected as a result of:
(i)    the invalidity or unenforceability of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any promissory note or other document (including, without limitation, this Agreement) evidencing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty therefor;
(ii)    the absence of any attempt to collect the Guaranteed Obligations from any other Borrower or any other guarantor or other action to enforce the same;
(iii)    failure by the Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty therefor;

80


(iv)    any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, or extension of credit, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(v)    the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the Agent’s claim(s) for repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(vi)    any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(vii)    any agreement or stipulation as to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(viii)    the avoidance of any lien in favor of the Agent for any reason;
(ix)    any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Borrower or any other guarantor, maker or endorser, including without limitation, any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;
(x)    failure by the Agent to file or enforce a claim against any Borrower or its estate in any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding;
(xi)    any action taken by the Agent that is authorized by this Agreement;
(xii)    any election by the Agent under Section 9-501(4) of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction as to any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(xiii)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.
13.5    Reinstatement. Each Borrower further agrees that, if any payment made by any Borrower or any other person and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations is at any time annulled, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by the Agent, any of the Lenders and any Letter of Credit Issuer to any Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including, without limitation, any guarantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, each Borrower’s liability under this Article 13 (and any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such liability) shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made, or, if prior thereto this Agreement shall have been cancelled or surrendered (and if any lien, security interest or other collateral securing any Borrower’s liability under this Article 13 shall

81


have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), this Article 13 (and such lien, security interest or other collateral) shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any Borrower under this Article 13 in respect of the amount of such payment (or any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such obligation).
13.6    Payment. (i) Each Borrower agrees that if any other Borrower shall default in payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether principal, interest, premium, fee (including, but not limited to, loan fees and attorneys' fees and expenses), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of this Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, then such Borrower will, upon demand thereof by the Agent, fully pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers in an amount equal to all the Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing.
(ii)    Each Borrower further agrees to pay all costs and expenses promptly upon written demand by the Agent, including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Agent (i) in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations after the same become due and owing from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or (ii) in endeavoring to realize upon (whether by judicial, non-judicial or other proceedings) any Collateral or any other collateral securing any Guarantor’s liabilities under this Article 13.
ARTICLE 14
MISCELLANEOUS
14.1    No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by the Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any present or future supplement thereto, or in any other agreement between or among any Borrower and the Agent and/or any Lender, or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by the Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by the Agent or the Lenders on any occasion shall affect or diminish the Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by any Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. The Agent and the Lenders may proceed directly to collect the Obligations (other than Bank Product Obligations) when due and payable hereunder without any prior recourse to the Collateral. The Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Agent or any Lender may have.
14.2    Severability. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

(a)    Each Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Agent-Related Persons, and each Lender and each of its respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, representatives, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following repayment of the Loans and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Agent or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the Loans or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent, as to any Indemnified Person, it shall be determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person; provided, further, that the indemnity provided in this Section 14.11 shall in no event entitle any Indemnified Person to payment in respect of claims, losses, liabilities or expenses of any kind that are expressly limited by or governed by other provisions of this Agreement in excess of amounts (if any) to which such Indemnified Person is entitled pursuant to such provisions. The agreements in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.

14.13    Final Agreement.

AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
15.1    Amendment and Restatement. Each Borrower, the Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuers and the Lenders hereby agree that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Original Credit Agreement which in any manner govern or evidence the Obligations, the rights and interests of the Lenders and any terms, conditions or matters related to any thereof, shall be and hereby are amended and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Original Credit Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

(b)If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or during any period that Liquidity is less than $37,500,000, in connection with all Inventory financed by Letters of Credit, each Grantor will, at the Agent’s request, instruct all suppliers, carriers, forwarders, customs brokers, warehouses or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory, Documents or Instruments in which the Agent holds a security interest to deliver them to the Agent and/or subject to the Agent’s order, and if they shall come into such Grantor’s possession, to deliver them, upon

12


request, to the Agent in their original form and shall also, designate the Agent as the consignee on all bills of lading and other negotiable and non-negotiable documents.
9.EQUIPMENT.
(a)Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders and agrees with the Agent and the Lenders that all of the Equipment owned by such Grantor is and will be used or held for use in such Grantor’s business, and is and will be fit for such purposes. Each Grantor shall keep and maintain its Equipment in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and shall make all necessary replacements thereof.
(b)Each Grantor shall promptly inform the Agent of any additions to or deletions from the Equipment in an amount in excess of $1,000,000. No Grantor shall permit any Equipment to become a fixture with respect to real property or to become an accession with respect to other personal property with respect to which real or personal property the Agent does not have a Lien. No Grantor will, without the Agent’s prior written consent, alter or remove any identifying symbol or number on any of such Grantor’s Equipment constituting Collateral.
(c)Except as permitted by the Credit Agreement, no Grantor shall, without the Agent’s prior written consent, sell, license, lease as a lessor, or otherwise dispose of any of such Grantor’s Equipment.
10.PLEDGED COLLATERAL. (a) The Pledged Equity Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. The Pledged Notes of any Grantor’s Subsidiaries (if any), and, to the best of each Grantor’s knowledge, all other Pledged Notes, have been duly authorized, issued and delivered, and is the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the issuers thereof.
(b)The Pledged Equity Interests indicated on Schedule IV hereto constitute all of the shares of stock held by each Grantor of the respective issuers thereof who are not Foreign Subsidiaries and constitute 65% of all of the shares of stock of the respective issuers who are Foreign Subsidiaries. The Pledged Equity Interests and the Pledged Notes constitute all of the Pledged Collateral except for Pledged Collateral consisting of checks and drafts received in the ordinary course of business and with respect to which the Agent has not at any time requested possession and which are not a material portion of the Collateral under this Agreement (the “Personal Property Collateral”), either singly or in the aggregate.
(c)The pledge and delivery of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Agreement and all other filings and other actions taken by each Grantor to perfect such security interest prior to the date hereof, create a continuing, valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral, securing the payment of the Obligations except for Pledged Collateral consisting of checks and drafts received in the ordinary course of business with respect to which the Agent has not at any time requested possession and which are not a material portion of the Personal Property Collateral, either singly or in the aggregate.
(d)So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

13


i.Each Grantor, and not the Agent, shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other rights of consent or approval pertaining to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that no Grantor shall exercise or refrain from exercising any such right without the consent of the Agent if such action or inaction would have a material adverse effect on the benefits to the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, including, without limitation, the validity, priority or perfection of the security interest granted hereby or the remedies of the Agent hereunder.
ii.Each Grantor, and not the Agent, shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, principal and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral provided, however, that any and all dividends, principal and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, shall forthwith be delivered to the Agent to hold as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor, and be forthwith delivered to the Agent, as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
iii.The Agent shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends, principal or interest payments which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(e)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the direction of the Required Lenders:
i.All rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights of consent or approval which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 10(d)(i) hereof and to receive the dividends, principal and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 10(d)(ii) hereof shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other rights of consent or approval and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, principal and interest payments which shall forthwith be delivered to the Agent to be applied to the Obligations in such order as provided in Section 7.25 (or, if applicable, Section 3.5) of the Credit Agreement .
ii.All dividends, principal and interest payments which are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii) of Section 10(d) hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(f)Each Grantor agrees that it will (i) cause each issuer of the Pledged Equity

14


Interests subject to its control not to issue any stock or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Shares issued by such issuer, except to such Grantor or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional shares of stock or other securities of each issuer of the Pledged Equity Interests; provided that in no event shall any Grantor be required to pledge more than 65% of the shares of any Foreign Subsidiary. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Annex IV to include such additional shares or other securities.
(g)Determination by the Agent to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 19 hereof without making a request of the relevant Grantor to register such Pledged Collateral under the Securities Act shall not by the sole fact of such sale be deemed to be commercially unreasonable.
(h)The Grantors hereby agree that the aggregate principal amount of all promissory notes described in clause (i) of the definition of Excluded Notes at any time outstanding shall not exceed $3,000,000.
11.DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS, AND CHATTEL PAPER. Each Grantor represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders that (a) all Documents, Instruments, and Chattel Paper describing, evidencing, or constituting Collateral, and all signatures and endorsements thereon, are and will be complete, valid, and genuine, and (b) all goods evidenced by such Documents are and will be owned by such Grantor, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens permitted under Section 7.10(b) of the Credit Agreement.
12.RIGHT TO CURE. The Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, pay any amount or do any act reasonably required of any Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document in order to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce the Obligations, the Collateral or the Agent’s Liens therein, and which such Grantor fails to pay or do, including payment of any judgment against such Grantor, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord’s or bailee’s claim, and any other Lien upon or with respect to the Collateral. All payments that the Agent makes under this Section 12 and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken by it hereunder shall be charged to the Borrower’s Loan Account as a Revolving Loan. Any payment made or other action taken by the Agent under this Section 12 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein provided.
13.POWER OF ATTORNEY. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent and the Agent’s designee as each Grantor’s attorney, with power: (a) to endorse such Grantor’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, or other forms of payment or security that come into the Agent’s or any Lender’s possession; (b) to sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice, bill of lading, warehouse receipt or other negotiable or non-negotiable Document constituting Collateral, on drafts against customers, on assignments of Accounts, on notices of assignment, financing statements and other public records and to file any such financing statements by electronic means with or without a signature as authorized or required by applicable law or filing procedure; (c) so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to notify the post office authorities

15


to change the address for delivery of such Grantor’s mail to an address designated by the Agent and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor; (d) to send requests for verification of Accounts to customers or Account Debtors; (e) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to complete in such Grantor’s name or the Agent’s name, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary Documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof; (f) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to clear Inventory through customs in such Grantor’s name, the Agent’s name or the name of the Agent’s designee, and to sign and deliver to customs officials powers of attorney in such Grantor’s name for such purpose; (g) to the extent such Grantor’s authorization given in Section 3(g) hereof is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect to this Agreement, with or without such Grantor’s signature, or to file a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as the Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in such Grantor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require such Grantor’s signature; (h) to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Grantor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same; and (i) to do all things necessary to carry out the Credit Agreement and this Agreement. Each Grantor ratifies and approves all acts of such attorney. None of the Lenders or the Agent nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law except for their gross negligence or willful misconduct. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until the Credit Agreement has been terminated and the Obligations have been fully satisfied.
14.THE AGENT’S AND LENDERS’ RIGHTS, DUTIES AND LIABILITIES.
(a)Each Grantor assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral. The Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of the Agent or any Lender to take any steps to perfect the Agent’s Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release any Grantor from any of the Obligations. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to or consent from any Grantor, sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, any insurance applicable thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of any Grantor for the Obligations or under the Credit Agreement or any other agreement now or hereafter existing between the Agent and/or any Lender and any Grantor.

16


(b)It is expressly agreed by each Grantor that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of its contracts and each of its licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any contract or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Agent or any Lender of any payment relating to any contract or license pursuant hereto. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any contract or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any contract or license, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
(c)Agent may at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and be continuing (or if any rights of set-off (other than set-offs against an Account arising under the contract giving rise to the same Account) or contra accounts may be asserted with respect to the following), without prior notice to any Grantor, notify Account Debtors, and other Persons obligated on the Collateral that Agent has a security interest therein, and that payments shall be made directly to Agent, for itself and the benefit of Lenders. Upon the request of Agent, each Grantor shall so notify Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral. Once any such notice has been given to any Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, such Grantor shall not give any contrary instructions to such Account Debtor or other Person without Agent’s prior written consent.
(d)Agent may at any time in Agent’s own name or in the name of any Grantor communicate with Account Debtors, parties to Contracts and obligors in respect of Instruments to verify with such Persons, to Agent’s reasonable satisfaction, the existence, amount and terms of Accounts, payment intangibles, Instruments or Chattel Paper. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor, at its own expense, shall cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by such Grantor to prepare and deliver to Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time promptly upon Agent’s request the following reports with respect to such Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts as Agent may request. Each Grantor, at its own expense, shall deliver to Agent the results of each physical verification, if any, which such Grantor may in its discretion have made, or caused any other Person to have made on its behalf, of all or any portion of its Inventory.
15.PATENT, TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT COLLATERAL.
(a)No Grantor has any interest in, or title to any United States Trademark or any Copyright or material Patent except as set forth in Schedule III hereto. This Agreement is effective to create a valid and continuing Lien on and, upon filing of the Trademark Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, perfected Liens in favor of Agent on such Grantor’s patents, trademarks and copyrights identified on Schedule III and such perfected Liens a

17


re enforceable as such as against any and all creditors of and purchasers from such Grantor. Upon filing of the Trademark Security Agreement with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the filing of appropriate financing statements, all action necessary or desirable to protect and perfect Agent’s Lien on such Grantor’s patents, trademarks or copyrights identified on Schedule III shall have been duly taken.
(b)Each Grantor shall notify Agent immediately if it knows that any application or registration relating to any patent, trademark or copyright (now or hereafter existing) may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such patent, trademark or copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.
(c)In no event shall any Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any patent, trademark or copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency without giving Agent written notice thereof, and, upon request of Agent, Grantor shall execute and deliver any and all patent security agreements, copyright security agreements or trademark security agreements as Agent may request to evidence Agent’s Lien on such patent, trademark or copyright, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.
(d)Each Grantor shall take all actions appropriate under the circumstances or reasonably requested by Agent to maintain and pursue each patent, trademark and copyright application currently pending, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the patents, trademarks and copyrights (now or hereafter existing), including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings, unless such Grantor shall determine in its reasonable business judgment that such patent, trademark or copyright is not material to the conduct of its business.
(e)In the event that any of the patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is infringed upon, or misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall notify Agent promptly after such Grantor learns of such infringement. Each Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral is not material to the conduct of its business or operations, promptly take appropriate action to protect such patent, copyright or trademark, including, where such Grantor believes in its reasonable business judgment that it would be prudent to do so, sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, and shall take such other actions as Agent shall reasonably request under the circumstances to protect such patent, trademark or copyright Collateral.
16.INDEMNIFICATION. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Agent or any Lender relating to any Collateral for any sum owing with respect thereto or to enforce any rights or claims with respect thereto, the Grantors, jointly or severally, will save, indemnify and keep

18


Agent and Lenders harmless from and against all expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of the Account Debtor or other Person obligated on the Collateral, arising out of a breach by any Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to, or in favor of, such obligor or its successors from such Grantor, except in the case of Agent or any Lender, to the extent such expense, loss, or damage is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. All such obligations of the Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and only against such Grantors and shall not be enforceable against Agent or any Lender.
17.LIMITATION ON LIENS ON COLLATERAL. No Grantor will create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral against, and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except Liens permitted by Section 7.10(b) of the Credit Agreement, and will defend the right, title and interest of Agent and Lenders in and to any of such Grantor’s rights under the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.
18.NOTICE REGARDING COLLATERAL. Each Grantor will advise Agent promptly, in reasonable detail of any Lien (other than Liens permitted by Section 7.10(b) of the Credit Agreement) or claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral.
19.REMEDIES; RIGHTS UPON DEFAULT.
(a)In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that in any such event Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of such Grantor where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving such Grantor or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on Agent’s claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption such Grantor hereby releases. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere

19


and shall have the right to use any Grantor’s premises without charge for such time or times as Agent deems necessary or advisable. The Agent is authorized, at any such sale, if it deems it advisable so to do, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of any of the Pledged Collateral to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any such Pledged Collateral, and to take such other actions as it may deem appropriate to exempt the offer and sale of the Collateral from any registration requirements of state or federal securities laws (including, if it deems it appropriate, actions to comply with Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”)).
(b)Each Grantor further agrees, at Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place or places designated by Agent which are reasonably convenient to Agent and such Grantor, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Until Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Agent. Agent shall have no obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of such Grantor as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of Agent. Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of Agent and Lenders), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Agent account for the surplus, if any, to such Grantor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against Agent or any Lender arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Lender as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Grantor agrees that ten (10) days prior notice by Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred by Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.
(c)Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.
(d)To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to

20


be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 19(d) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 19(d). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 19(d) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 19(d).
20.GRANT OF LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 19 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 19 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time and for so long as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, wherever permitted by law or by agreement, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
21.LIMITATION ON AGENT’S AND LENDERS’ DUTY IN RESPECT OF COLLATERAL. Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Agent or such Lender, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

21


22.MISCELLANEOUS.
(a)Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should such Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
(b)Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other party, or whenever any of the parties desires to give and serve upon any other party any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner, and deemed received, as provided for in the Credit Agreement.
(c)Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement is to be read, construed and applied together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, taken together, set forth the complete understanding and agreement of Agent, Lenders and Grantor with respect to the matters referred to herein and therein.
(d)No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by Agent and each Grantor.

22


(e)Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
(f)Termination of this Security Agreement.
(a) Subject to Section 22(a) hereof, this Agreement shall terminate upon all Letters of Credit being Fully Supported, the payment in full of all other Obligations (other than indemnification Obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) and the termination of all Commitments under the Credit Agreement.
(b)    Upon any sale or other transfer by a Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement to any Person that is not a Grantor, or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall automatically be released.
(c)    The Agent agrees that upon such termination or release of the security interests or release of any Collateral, the Agent shall, at the expense of the Grantors, execute and deliver to each Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the security interests or the release and reassignment of such Collateral, as the case may be.
(g)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor (including any debtor-in-possession on behalf of such Grantor) and shall, together with the rights and remedies of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, hereunder, inure to the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all future holders of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns. No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner affect the Lien granted to Agent, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, hereunder. No Grantor may assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Agreement.
(h)Counterparts. This Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement may be authenticated by manual signature, facsimile or, if approved in writing by Agent, electronic means, all of which shall be equally valid.

(i)Governing Law. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN THAT STATE, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. GRANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN ANY GRANTOR, AGENT AND LENDERS PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, THAT AGENT, LENDERS AND EACH GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK COUNTY, CITY OF NEW YORK, AND, PROVIDED, FURTHER, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF AGENT. EACH GRANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINTS AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH GRANTOR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 14.8 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.
(j)Waiver of Jury Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT,

24


OR OTHERWISE, AMONG AGENT, LENDERS, AND ANY GRANTOR ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
(k)Section Titles. The Section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.
(l)No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
(m)Advice of Counsel. Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Section 22(i) and Section 22(j), with its counsel.
(n)Benefit of Lenders. All Liens granted or contemplated hereby shall be for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and all proceeds or payments realized from Collateral in accordance herewith shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

FORM OF THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
PARENT GUARANTY






FORM OF
THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PARENT GUARANTY
THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PARENT GUARANTY (as such agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or amended and restated from time to time, this “Guaranty”) dated as of April 23, 2008 is made by ANNTAYLOR STORES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business at 142 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019 (the “Guarantor”), in favor of BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent for each of the Lenders now or hereafter party to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (the “Agent”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement (as defined below).
R E C I T A L S:
WHEREAS, ANNTAYLOR, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ATI”), ANNCO, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ANNCO”), ANNTAYLOR DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ATDS”), ANNTAYLOR RETAIL, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ATR” and, together with ATI, ANNCO and ATDS, the “Borrowers” and each, individually, a “Borrower”), the Agent, the lenders referred to therein, the syndication agents named therein and the issuing banks named therein have entered into that certain $175,000,000 Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated November 14, 2003 (as amended, the “Original Credit Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, at the Borrowers’ request, the Lenders, the Agent, and the syndication agents party thereto, have agreed to amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement in its entirety as of the date hereof (as so amended and restated and as such agreement may be further amended, supplemented, modified, or amended and restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, the Guarantor is the parent of the Borrowers and has and will materially benefit from the Loans made and to be made, and the Letters of Credit issued and to be issued, under the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Guarantor and the Agent have entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Parent Guaranty dated November 14, 2003 (as amended, the “Original Guaranty”) pursuant to which the Guarantor has guaranteed the full and prompt payment and performance of the Borrowers' Obligations under the Original Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and in order to induce the Lenders and each Letter of Credit Issuer to amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement and continue to, respectively, make Loans and issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor hereby agrees, and the Agent for its benefit, and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, by acceptance hereof, hereby agrees as follows:



1.Guaranty.
(a)    The Guarantor hereby unconditionally, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, the full and prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents, of all of the Obligations, whether or not from time to time reduced or extinguished or hereafter increased or incurred, whether or not recovery may be or hereafter may become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether enforceable or unenforceable as against the Borrowers, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due (all such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). For purposes of this Guaranty, any Affiliate of any Lender, which is a party to a Hedge Agreement or Foreign Currency Exchange Contract with any Borrower or any of its respective Restricted Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to be a “Lender”. This Section 1 continues, reaffirms and amends, as the case may be, the guarantees under the Original Guaranty and the Restated Guaranty.
(b)    The Guarantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Borrower or any other person and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations is at any time annulled, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any of the Lenders or any of the Letter of Credit Issuers to any Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including, without limitation, the Guarantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Guarantor’s liability hereunder (and any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such liability) shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made, or, if prior thereto this Guaranty shall have been cancelled or surrendered (and if any lien, security interest or other collateral securing Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), this Guaranty (and such lien, security interest or other collateral) shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the Guarantor in respect of the amount of such payment (or any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such obligation).
(c)    The Guarantor further agrees to pay all costs and expenses promptly upon written demand by the Agent including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Agent in enforcing this Guaranty.

2.    Payment.    The Guarantor agrees that if any Borrower shall default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether with respect to principal, interest, premium, fee (including, but not limited to, loan fees and attorneys’ fees and expenses), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of the Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, then the Guarantor will, upon demand thereof by the Agent, fully pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers, an amount equal to all the Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing.

2


3.    Representations and Warranties.
The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent that each representation and warranty made by Borrowers in Article 6 of the Credit Agreement applicable to the Guarantor is true and correct, which representations and warranties (except such representations and warranties which are expressly made as of a different date) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, and shall, except to the extent that the same have been modified by a writing delivered to and accepted in writing by the Agent, and, other than with respect to changes permitted or contemplated by the Credit Agreement, continue to be true and correct on the date of each Loan, and on the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit.
4.    Waivers; Other Agreements.
(a)    Subject to the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, the Agent is hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon the Guarantor, which notice or demand is expressly waived hereby, and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder (which shall remain absolute and unconditional notwithstanding any such action or omission to act), from time to time, to:
(i)    supplement, renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, the Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise modify, amend, restate or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument (including the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents) now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to the Agent, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon;
(ii)    waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with any provision of any instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or any other instrument or agreement in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (including the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents) now or hereafter executed by any Borrower and delivered to the Agent;
(iii)    accept partial payments on the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iv)    receive, take and hold additional security or collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or for the payment of any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations or other liabilities of any Borrower, and exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, transfer, otherwise alter and release any such additional security or collateral;
(v)    apply any and all such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Agent may determine in its sole discretion;
(vi)    settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations or accept, substitute, release, exchange or otherwise alter, affect or impair any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty therefor, in any manner;

3


(vii)    add, release or substitute any one or more other guarantors, makers or endorsers of the Guaranteed Obligations and otherwise enforce its rights under the Loan Agreements against any Borrower or any other guarantor, maker or endorser as the Agent may elect in its sole discretion;
(viii)    apply any and all payments or recoveries from the Borrower, from any other guarantor, maker or endorser of the Guaranteed Obligations or from the Guarantor to the Guaranteed Obligations to the Obligations in such order as provided in Section 3.5 of the Credit Agreement, whether such Guaranteed Obligations are secured or unsecured or guaranteed or not guaranteed by others;
(ix)    apply any and all payments or recoveries from the Guarantor or any other guarantor, maker or endorser of the Guaranteed Obligations or sums realized from security furnished by any of them upon any of their indebtedness or obligations to the Agent as the Agent in its sole discretion, may determine, whether or not such indebtedness or obligations relate to the Guaranteed Obligations; and
(x)    refund at any time, at the Agent’s sole discretion, any payment received by the Agent in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, and payment to the Agent of the amount so refunded shall be fully guaranteed hereby even though prior thereto this Guaranty shall have been cancelled or surrendered (or any release or termination of any collateral by virtue thereof) by the Agent, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder in respect of the amount so refunded (and any collateral so released or terminated shall be reinstated with respect to such obligations);
even if any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantor is extinguished, affected or impaired by any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, any election of remedies by reason of any judicial, non-judicial or other proceeding in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations which impairs any subrogation, reimbursement or other right of Guarantor).
(b)    The Guarantor hereby agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing, unconditional guaranty of payment and not of collection and that its obligations under this Guaranty are absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged or otherwise affected as a result of:
(i)    the invalidity or unenforceability of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any promissory note or other document (including, without limitation, the Credit Agreement) evidencing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty therefor;
(ii)    the absence of any attempt to collect the Guaranteed Obligations from the Borrower or any other guarantor or other action to enforce the same;
(iii)    failure by the Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty therefor;

(vi)    the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the Agent’s claim(s) for repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(vii)    any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(viii)    any agreement or stipulation as to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(ix)    the avoidance of any lien in favor of the Agent for any reason;
(x)    any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Borrower, the Guarantor or any other guarantor, maker or endorser, including without limitation, any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;
(xi)    failure by the Agent to file or enforce a claim against the Borrower or its estate in any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding;
(xii)    any action taken by the Agent that is authorized by this Guaranty;
(xiii)    any election by the Agent under Section 9-501(4) of the Uniform Commercial Code, or any successor provision, as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction (the “Code”) as to any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(xiv)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.
(c)    The Guarantor hereby waives:
(i)    any requirements of diligence or promptness on the part of the Agent;
(ii)    presentment, demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iii)    notices (A) of nonperformance, (B) of acceptance of this Guaranty, (C) of default in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, (D) of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional indebtedness, arising either from additional loans extended to any Borrower or otherwise,

5


(E) that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations is due, (F) of any and all proceedings to collect from any Borrower, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or from anyone else, and (G) of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or collateral given to the Agent to secure payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any guaranty therefor;
(iv)    any right to require the Agent to (a) proceed first against any Borrower, or any other person whatsoever, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security given to or held by the Agent in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) pursue any other remedy in the Agent’s power whatsoever;
(v)    any defense arising by reason of (a) any disability or other defense of any Borrower, (b) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower, (c) any act or omission of the Agent or others which directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or any security given to or held by the Agent in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations;
(vi)    any and all other suretyship defenses under applicable law; and
(vii)    the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guaranteed Obligations or the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof.
In connection with the foregoing, the Guarantor covenants that this Guaranty shall not be discharged, except by complete performance of the obligations contained herein.
(d)    The Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers, of any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal and the Guarantor hereby agrees that the Agent shall not have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to the Agent regarding such condition or any such circumstances.
(e)    The Guarantor hereby agrees that (i) until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, the commitments of the Lenders to extend credit under the Credit Agreement have been terminated, no Letters of Credit exist that have not been Fully Supported, and the Credit Agreement has been terminated and is of no further force or effect (the "Satisfaction Date") and (ii) during any period that the Guaranteed Obligations may arise or be reinstated after the Satisfaction Date whether pursuant Section 4(h) below or otherwise, the Guarantor agrees that it shall not exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against any Borrower that arises from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor's obligations or liabilities under this Guaranty, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy against any Borrower or any

6


collateral which the Agent or any Lender now has or hereafter acquires an interest, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as the Agent may determine.
(f)    The Guarantor hereby agrees that any indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter owing to the Guarantor is hereby subordinated to all of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Subordinated Debt”), and that without the prior consent of the Agent, the Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until the Satisfaction Date shall have occurred, except that payments of principal and interest on the Subordinated Debt shall be permitted so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing to the extent such payments would not render such Borrower incapable of performing the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor will not accept any payment of or on account of any Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing. At the request of the Agent, the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Agent all or any part of the Subordinated Debt and any amount so paid to the Agent shall be applied to payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each payment on the Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by Guarantor as trustee for the Agent and shall be paid over to the Agent immediately on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner the Guarantor’s liability under any of the provisions of this Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees to file all claims against the applicable Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Subordinated Debt, and the Agent shall be entitled to all of the Guarantor’s right thereunder. If for any reason the Guarantor fails to file such claim at least thirty (30) days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, the Agent, as the Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact, is hereby authorized to do so in the Guarantor’s name or, in the Agent’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Agent or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Agent the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, the Guarantor hereby assigns to the Agent all Guarantor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which the Guarantor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Agent will pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, the Guarantor hereby appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact to exercise all of the Guarantor’s voting rights in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of such Borrower.
(g)    The Guarantor shall comply with all covenants stated to be applicable to it under the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor shall also cause each Borrower to comply with all covenants applicable to such Borrower under the Credit Agreement.

7


(h)    The Guarantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Borrower or any other person and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations is at any time annulled, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by the Agent, any of the Lenders and any Letter of Credit Issuer to any Borrower or the Guarantor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including, without limitation, any guarantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty (and any lien, security interest or other
collateral securing such liability) shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made, or, if prior thereto this Guaranty shall have been cancelled or surrendered (and if any lien, security interest or other collateral securing any Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), this Guaranty (and such lien, security interest or other collateral) shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty in respect of the amount of such payment (or any lien, security interest or other collateral securing such obligation).
5.    Default, Remedies.
(a)    The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations. If any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default, the Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once against the Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, without first proceeding against any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any Collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(b)    At any time after maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Agent may, without notice to the Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (i) any indebtedness due or to become due from the Agent to the Guarantor and (ii) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to the Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of the Agent or any of its affiliates.
(c)    The Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Agent, in its sole discretion, without any notice (except notices required by law to the extent such notice as a matter of law may not be waived) or demand to the Guarantor whatsoever and without affecting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which the Agent may have available to it, including but not limited to, foreclosure by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, and the Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Agent against the Guarantor of any deficiency after such action, notwithstanding any impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution, subrogation or other right or remedy against any Borrower, or any other guarantor, maker or endorser, or against any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for any guaranty of

8


the Guaranteed Obligations. No exercise by the Agent of, and no omission of the Agent to exercise, any power or authority recognized herein and no impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of the Agent against the Guarantor, any other guarantor, maker or endorser or any security shall in any way suspend, discharge, release, exonerate or otherwise affect any of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or give to the Guarantor any right of recourse against the Agent, the Lenders or the Letter of Credit Issuers.
(d)    The Guarantor consents and agrees that the Agent shall not be under any obligation to make any demand upon or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against any Borrower or any guarantor or others with respect to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any security therefor, or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof or any security for any such guaranty, or to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations or to resort to any security or any such guaranty in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder, under the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative. The Guarantor hereby agrees to waive, and does hereby absolutely and irrevocably waive and relinquish the benefit and advantage of, and does hereby covenant not to assert against the Agent any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension or redemption laws now existing or which may hereafter exist which, but for this provision, might be applicable to any sale made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Guaranty or the Security Instruments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke or utilize any law which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the rights under this Guaranty, the Security Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
6.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    This Guaranty shall be irrevocable as to any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Credit Agreement has been terminated, the commitments of the Lenders to extend credit under the Credit Agreement have been terminated and all Guaranteed Obligations then outstanding have been repaid.
(b)    This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and upon its successors and assigns, heirs and legal representatives and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuers; all references herein to the Borrowers and to the Guarantor shall be deemed to include their successors and assigns, heirs and legal representatives as applicable. Each Borrower’s successors and assigns shall include a receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession of or for such Borrower. All references to the singular shall be deemed to include the plural where the context so requires. The Guarantor acknowledges the Agent’s acceptance hereof and reliance hereon.
(c)    No delay on the part of the Agent in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude any further exercise thereof; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions

9


of this Guaranty be binding upon the Agent, except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by the Agent or on the Agent’s behalf by an authorized officer or agent of the Agent. The Agent’s failure at any time or times hereafter to require strict performance by any Borrower or of the Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the provisions, warranties, terms and conditions contained in any promissory note, security agreement, agreement, guaranty, instrument or document now or at any time or times hereafter executed by any Borrower or the Guarantor or any other guarantor and delivered to the Agent shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of the Agent at any time or times hereafter to demand strict performance thereof and such right shall not be deemed to have been waived by any act or knowledge of the Agent, its agents, officers or employees, unless such waiver is contained in an instrument in writing signed by an officer or agent of the Agent and directed to the Borrowers or the Guarantor, or any of them (as the case may be) specifying such waiver. No waiver by the Agent of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or the same default on a future occasion, and no action by the Agent permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair the Agent’s rights or the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty. Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction of the amount of any principal and/or interest owing by the Borrowers to the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Guarantor irrespective of whether it was a party to the suit or action in which such determination was made.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING: (1) THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION THE AGENT OR THE LENDERS DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE IN ORDER TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR OTHER SECURITY FOR THE

THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(h)    This Guaranty (and any instrument or agreement granting or creating any security for this Guaranty) contains all the terms and conditions of the agreement between the Agent and the Guarantor relating to the subject matter hereof.
