Unless a particular term, word or phrase is otherwise defined or the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms, words and phrases used herein or in the Loan Documents (as hereinafter defined) have the following meanings (all definitions that are defined in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents in the singular have the same meanings when used in the plural and vice versa):

     “Additional Interest” means the aggregate of all amounts accrued or paid pursuant to the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents (other than interest on the Notes at the Stated Rate) which, under applicable laws, are or may be deemed to constitute interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or any other amounts owing under any Loan Document.

     “Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Agent.

     “Affiliate” means any Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with any other Person. For purposes of this definition, “control” (including “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or otherwise.

As long as Borrower files an annual report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such report and related financial statements, including notes thereto and opinion of independent certified public accountants, included thereon shall be considered the “Annual Financial Statements”.

In the event that Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual net cash amount required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of an authorized officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess. Each mandatory prepayment shall be made without premium or penalty other than the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans prepaid and any applicable breakage fees and funding losses pursuant to this Agreement.

          (d) Interest Payments. Accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loans shall be due and payable on the Interest Payment Dates and on the date of any prepayment of the Loans.

          (e) Interest on Past Due Payments. Subject to Section 11.7 hereof, Borrower will pay to Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the applicable Past Due Rate on any amount payable by Borrower hereunder to or for the account of such Lender (but, if such amount is interest, only to the extent legally allowed), which shall not be paid in full within five (5) days after the date due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), for the period commencing on the expiration of such five (5) day period until the same is paid in full.

     Section 3.3 Interest Options.

          (a) Options Available. The outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall bear interest at the Base Rate; provided, that (1) subject to Section 3.2(e), all past due amounts, both principal and accrued and unpaid interest, shall bear interest at the Past Due Rate, and (2) subject to the provisions hereof, Borrower shall have the option of having all or any portion of the principal balances of the Notes from time to time outstanding bear interest at a Eurodollar Rate. The records of Agent and each of the Lenders with respect to Interest Options, Interest Periods and the amounts of Loans to which they are applicable shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof. Interest on the Loans shall be calculated at the Base Rate except where it is expressly provided pursuant to this Agreement that a Eurodollar Rate is to apply. Interest on the amount of each advance against the Notes shall be computed on the amount of that advance and from the date it is made to but excluding the date of repayment thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the full term of the Notes the interest rate produced by the aggregate of all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holders of the Notes for the use, forbearance or detention of the debt evidenced thereby (including all interest on the Notes at the Stated Rate plus the Additional Interest) shall not exceed the Ceiling Rate.

          (b) Designation and Conversion. Borrower shall have the right to designate or convert its Interest Options in accordance with the provisions hereof. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and subject to the last sentence of Section 3.3(a) and the provisions of Section 3.3(c), Borrower may elect to have a Eurodollar Rate apply or continue to apply to all or any portion of the principal balance of the Notes. Each change in Interest Options shall be a conversion of the rate of interest applicable to the specified portion of the Loans, but such conversion shall not change the respective outstanding principal balances of the Notes. The Interest Options shall be designated or converted in the manner provided below:

          (i) Borrower shall give Agent telephonic notice, promptly confirmed by a Rate Designation Notice (and Agent shall promptly inform each Lender thereof). Each such telephonic and written notice shall specify the amount of the Loan which is the subject of the designation, if any; the amount of borrowings into which such borrowings are to be converted or for which an Interest Option is designated; the proposed date for the designation or conversion and the Interest Period or Periods, if any, selected by Borrower. Such telephonic notice shall be irrevocable and shall be given to Agent no later than the applicable Rate Designation Date.

          (ii) No more than five (5) LIBOR Borrowings shall be in effect at any time.

          (iii) Each advance, designation or conversion of a LIBOR Borrowing shall occur on a LIBOR Business Day.

          (iv) Except as provided in Section 3.3(c) hereof, no LIBOR Borrowing may be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing or another LIBOR Borrowing on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

          (v) Each request for a LIBOR Borrowing shall be in the amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

          (vi) Subject to Section 3.3(c)(i), each designation of an Interest Option with respect to the Notes shall apply to all of the Notes ratably in accordance with their respective outstanding principal balances. If any Lender assigns an interest in its Note when any LIBOR Borrowing is outstanding with respect thereto, then such assignee shall have its ratable interest in such LIBOR Borrowing.

          (c) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Borrowings.

          (i) Options Unlawful. If the adoption of any applicable Legal Requirement after the Effective Date or any change after the Effective Date in any applicable Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Effective Date by any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall at any time make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to permit the establishment of or to maintain any LIBOR Borrowing, the commitment of such Lender to establish such LIBOR Borrowing shall forthwith be canceled and Borrower shall on the last day the Interest Period relating to any outstanding LIBOR Borrowing (or within such earlier period as may be required by applicable law) (1) convert the LIBOR Borrowing of such Lender to a Base Rate Borrowing; (2) pay all accrued and unpaid interest to date on the amount so converted; and (3) pay any amounts required to compensate each Lender for any additional cost or expense which any Lender may incur as a result of such adoption of or change in such Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or administration thereof and any Funding Loss which any Lender may incur as a result of such conversion. If, when Agent so notifies Borrower, Borrower has given a Rate Designation Notice specifying a LIBOR Borrowing but the selected Interest Period has not yet begun, as to the applicable Lender such Rate Designation Notice shall be deemed to be of no force and effect, as if never made, and the balance of the Loans made by such Lender specified in such Rate Designation Notice shall bear interest at the Base Rate until a different available Interest Option shall be designated in accordance herewith.

          (ii) Increased Cost of Borrowings. Subject to Section 11.15, if the adoption after the Effective Date of any applicable Legal Requirement or any change after the Effective Date in any applicable Legal Requirement or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Effective Date by any central bank or Governmental Authority shall at any time as a result of any portion of the principal balances of the Notes being maintained on the basis of a Eurodollar Rate:

     (1) subject any Lender to any Taxes, or any deduction or withholding for any Taxes, on or from any payment due under any LIBOR Borrowing or other amount due hereunder, other than income and franchise taxes of the United States or its political subdivisions or such other jurisdiction in which the applicable Lender has any office or applicable lending office; or

     (2) change the basis of taxation of payments due from Borrower to any Lender under any LIBOR Borrowing (otherwise than by a change in

the rate of taxation of the gross revenues or overall net income of such Lender); or

     (3) impose, modify, increase or deem applicable any reserve requirement (excluding that portion of any reserve requirement included in the calculation of the applicable Eurodollar Rate), special deposit requirement or similar requirement (including, but not limited to, state law requirements) against assets of any Lender, or against deposits with any Lender, or against loans made by any Lender, or against any other funds, obligations or other Property owned or held by any Lender; or

     (4) impose on any Lender any other condition regarding any LIBOR Borrowing;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or of making, renewing or maintaining such LIBOR Borrowing, or reduce the amount of principal or interest received by any Lender, then, within 15 Business Days after demand by Agent (accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the applicable Lender’s basis therefor), Borrower shall pay to Agent additional amounts which shall compensate each Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. The determination by any Lender of the amount of any such increased cost, increased reserve requirement or reduced amount shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof. Borrower shall have the right, if it receives from Agent any notice referred to in this paragraph, upon three Business Days’ notice to Agent (which shall notify each affected Lender), either (i) to repay in full (but not in part) any borrowing with respect to which such notice was given, together with any accrued interest thereon, or (ii) to convert the LIBOR Borrowing which is the subject of the notice to a Base Rate Borrowing; provided, that any such repayment or conversion shall be accompanied by payment of (x) the amount required to compensate each Lender for the increased cost or reduced amount referred to in the preceding paragraph; (y) all accrued and unpaid interest to date on the amount so repaid or converted, and (z) any Funding Loss which any Lender may incur as a result of such repayment or conversion. Each Lender will notify Borrower through Agent of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation, and (if so requested by Borrower through Agent) will designate a different lending office of such Lender for the applicable LIBOR Borrowing or will take such other action as Borrower may reasonably request if such designation or action is consistent with the internal policy of such Lender and legal and regulatory restrictions, will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender (provided that such Lender shall have no obligation so to designate a different lending office which is located in the United States of America).

          (iii) Inadequacy of Pricing and Rate Determination. If, for any reason with respect to any Interest Period, Agent (or, in the case of clause 3 below, the applicable Lender) shall have reasonably determined that:

     (1) Agent is unable through its customary general practices to determine any applicable Eurodollar Rate, or

     (2) by reason of circumstances affecting the applicable market, generally, Agent is not being offered deposits in United States dollars in such market, for the applicable Interest Period and in an amount equal to the amount of any applicable LIBOR Borrowing requested by Borrower, or

     (3) any applicable Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of making and maintaining such LIBOR Borrowing hereunder for any proposed Interest Period,

then Agent shall give Borrower notice thereof and thereupon, (A) any Rate Designation Notice previously given by Borrower designating the applicable LIBOR Borrowing which has not commenced as of the date of such notice from Agent shall be deemed for all purposes hereof to be of no force and effect, as if never given, and (B) until Agent shall notify Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice from Agent no longer exist, each Rate Designation Notice requesting the applicable Eurodollar Rate shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Borrowing, and any applicable LIBOR Borrowing then outstanding shall be converted, without any notice to or from Borrower, upon the termination of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to it, to a Base Rate Borrowing.

          (iv) Funding Losses. Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against and hold each Lender harmless from any Funding Loss. Subject to Section 11.15, this indemnity shall survive the payment of the Notes. Within 15 Business Days after demand by Agent (accompanied by a certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and calculation of the amount claimed as to any Funding Losses, which shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of such Lender, the amount of such Funding Losses.

          (d) Funding Offices; Adjustments Automatic; Calculation Year. Any Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation as to any LIBOR Borrowing by causing a branch or affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan and may transfer and carry such Loan at, to or for the account of any branch office or affiliate of such Lender; provided, that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement such Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender and the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender and shall be deemed held by it for the account of such branch or affiliate. Without notice to Borrower or any other Person, each rate required to be calculated or determined under this Agreement shall automatically fluctuate upward and downward in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Interest at the Prime Rate and at the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. All other interest required to be calculated or determined under this Agreement shall be computed on

the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days, unless the Ceiling Rate would thereby be exceeded, in which event, to the extent necessary to avoid exceeding the Ceiling Rate, the applicable interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable calendar year in which accrued.

          (e) Funding Sources. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of the Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Borrowing during each Interest Period through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

SECTION 4. Payments; Pro Rata Treatment; Computations, Etc.

     Section 4.1 Payments.

          (a) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding on such date.

          (b) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower hereunder, under the Notes and under the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to Agent at the Principal Office (or in the case of a successor Agent, at the principal office of such successor Agent in the United States), not later than 11:00 a.m. central time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

          (c) Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment hereunder, under any Note or under any other Loan Document, specify to Agent the Loans or other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder or thereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by Agent hereunder, under any Note or under any other Loan Document for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds. If Agent fails to send to any Lender the applicable amount by the close of business on the date any such payment is received by Agent if such payment is received prior to 11:00 a.m. central time (or on the next succeeding Business Day with respect to payments which are received after 11:00 a.m. central time), Agent shall pay to the applicable Lender interest on such amount from such date at the Federal Funds Rate. Borrower, the Lenders and Agent acknowledge and agree that this provision and each other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents relating to the application of amounts in payment of the Obligations shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(f) regarding pro rata application of amounts after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

          (d) If the due date of any payment hereunder or under any Note falls on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date for such payments (except as otherwise provided in clause (2) of the definition of “Interest Period”) shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

          (e) All payments by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any present or future income, stamp, or other taxes, fees, duties, withholding or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority excluding in the case of Agent and each Lender taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or franchise taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which it is organized or through which it acts for purposes of this Agreement (such non-excluded items being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If as a result of any change in law (or the interpretation thereof) after the date that Agent or the applicable Lender became a party to this Agreement, any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made to, or for the account of, such Person by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule, or regulation, then Borrower will (i) pay to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) to the extent available, promptly forward to Agent an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Agent, for the account of each affected Person, such additional amount or amounts as are necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Lender will equal the full amount such Person would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. Each such Person shall determine such additional amount or amounts payable to it (which determination shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof). If Agent or any Lender becomes aware that any such withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document is required, then such Person shall promptly notify Agent and Borrower thereof stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required to be paid under this Section. Each Lender shall execute and deliver to Agent and Borrower such forms as it may be required to execute and deliver pursuant to Section 11.13 hereof. To the extent that any such withholding or deduction results from the failure of a Lender to provide a form required by Section 11.13 hereof (unless such failure is due to some prohibition under applicable Legal Requirements), Borrower shall have no obligation to pay the additional amount required by clause (iii) above. Anything in this Section notwithstanding, if any Lender elects to require payment by Borrower of any material amount under this Section, Borrower may, within 60 days after the date of receiving notice thereof and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, elect to terminate such Lender as a party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such termination Borrower shall (i) if Agent and each of the other Lenders shall consent, pay that Lender all principal, interest and fees and other amounts owed to such Lender through such date of termination or (ii) have arranged for another financial institution approved by Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as of such date, to become a substitute Lender for all purposes under this Agreement in the manner provided in Section 11.6; provided further that, prior to substitution for any Lender, Borrower shall have given written notice to Agent of such intention and the Lenders shall have the option, but no obligation, for a period of 60 days after receipt of such notice, to increase their Commitments in order to replace the affected Lender in lieu of such substitution.

     Section 4.2 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1 hereof shall be made ratably from the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments at such time; (b) each termination or reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders under Section 2.4 hereof shall be applied, pro rata, according to the Lenders’ respective Commitments at such time, and (c) each payment by Borrower of principal of or interest on the Loans shall be made to Agent for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans held by the Lenders.

     Section 4.3 Certain Actions, Notices, Etc. Notices to Agent of any termination or reduction of Commitments and of borrowings and optional prepayments of Loans shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by Agent not later than 12:00 noon central time on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction, borrowing and/or prepayment specified below:

		Number of Business Days            Prior Notice
Termination or Reduction of Commitments		3
Loan repayment		1
Borrowing of the Base Rate		1
Selection of a Eurodollar Rate		3 LIBOR Business Days
Prepayment of Base Rate Borrowing		1
Prepayment of LIBOR Borrowing		3 LIBOR Business Days

Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount of the applicable Commitment to be terminated or reduced. Each such notice of borrowing or prepayment shall specify the amount of the Loans to be borrowed or prepaid and the date of borrowing or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of the contents of each such notice.

     Section 4.4 Non-Receipt of Funds by Agent. Unless Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Borrower (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment to Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or Borrower is to make a payment to Agent for the account of one or more of the Lenders, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to Agent, Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, pay to Agent the amount made available by Agent, together with interest thereon in respect of the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by Agent until the date Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such period.

     Section 4.5 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on account of any Loan made by it under this Agreement or on any other Obligation then due to such Lender hereunder, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including, without limitation, any right of setoff or Lien granted under Section 9.2 hereof), banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise, it shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in the Loans made or other Obligations held, by the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid Obligations then due to each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of

such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held, by other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.

SECTION 5. Conditions Precedent to Borrowings.

     Section 5.1 Initial Borrowings. The obligation of each Lender to make its initial Borrowing hereunder is subject to the following conditions precedent, each of which shall have been fulfilled or waived to the satisfaction of Agent:

          (a) Authorization and Status. Agent shall have received (i) copies of the Organizational Documents of Borrower certified as true and correct by its secretary, assistant secretary or other equivalent officer, (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent of all action taken by Borrower authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and all other documents related to this Agreement to which it is a party (including, without limitation, a certificate of the secretary, assistant secretary or other equivalent officer of each such party which is a corporation setting forth the resolutions of its board of directors authorizing the transactions contemplated thereby), and (iii) such certificates as may be appropriate to demonstrate the qualification and good standing of Borrower in the jurisdiction of its organization and in each other jurisdiction where the failure in which to qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Incumbency. Borrower shall have delivered to Agent a certificate in respect of the name and signature of each of the officers (i) who is authorized to sign on its behalf the applicable Loan Documents to which it is a party related to any Loan and (ii) who will, until replaced by another officer or officers duly authorized for that purpose, act as its representative for the purposes of signing documents and giving notices and other communications in connection with any Loan. Agent and each Lender may conclusively rely on such certificates until they receive notice in writing from Borrower to the contrary.

          (c) Notes. Agent shall have received the appropriate Notes of Borrower for each Lender, duly completed and executed.

          (d) Loan Documents. Borrower shall have duly executed and delivered the Loan Documents to which it is a party (in such number of copies as Agent shall have requested). Each

such Loan Document shall be in substantially the form furnished to the Lenders prior to their execution of this Agreement, together with such changes therein as Agent may approve.

          (e) Fees and Expenses. Borrower shall have paid to Agent all unpaid fees in the amounts previously agreed upon in writing among Borrower and Agent.

          (f) Opinions of Counsel. Agent shall have received such opinions of counsel to Borrower as Agent shall reasonably request with respect to Borrower and the Loan Documents.

          (g) Consents. Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Lenders that all material consents of each Governmental Authority and of each other Person, if any, reasonably required by the Agent in connection with (a) the Loans and (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been satisfactorily obtained.

          (h) Other Documents. Agent shall have received such other documents consistent with the terms of this Agreement and relating to the transactions contemplated hereby as Agent may reasonably request.

     Section 5.2 All Borrowings. The obligation of each Lender to make any Loan to be made by it hereunder is subject to: (a) the accuracy, in all material respects, on the date of such Loan of all representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except to the extent expressly limited to an earlier date; (b) Agent shall have received the following, all of which shall be duly executed and in Proper Form: (1) a Request for Extension of Credit as to the Loan no later than 12:00 noon central time on the Business Day on which such Request for Extension of Credit must be given under Section 4.3 hereof and (2) such other documents as Agent may reasonably require; (c) prior to the making of such Loan, there shall have occurred no event which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (d) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (e) the making of such Loan shall not be illegal or prohibited by any Legal Requirement. The submission by Borrower of a Request for Extension of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions precedent to the applicable Loan have been satisfied.

SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties.

     To induce Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Borrowings, Borrower represents and warrants (such representations and warranties to survive any investigation and the making of the Borrowings) to the Lenders and Agent as follows:

     Section 6.1 Organization. Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (b) has all necessary corporate and organizational power and authority to conduct its business as presently conducted, and (c) is duly qualified to do business and in good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization and in all jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.2 Financial Statements. Borrower has furnished to Agent (i) audited financial statements (including a balance sheet) as to Borrower which fairly present in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP, the consolidated financial condition and the results

of operations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, and (ii) unaudited financial statements (including a balance sheet) as to Borrower which fairly present in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP (subject to year-end adjustments and the absence of notes), the consolidated financial condition and the results of operations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008. No events, conditions or circumstances have occurred from the date that the actual financial statements were delivered to Agent through the Effective Date which would cause said financial statements to be misleading in any material respect, provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time, it being recognized by the Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no material instruments or liabilities which should be reflected in such financial statements provided to Agent which are not so reflected that are necessary in order for such financial statement presentation to conform to GAAP. Since December 31, 2007, no event has occurred and no circumstance has arisen which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.3 Enforceable Obligations; Authorization. The Loan Documents are legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws and judicial decisions affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower (a) have all been duly authorized by all necessary action; (b) are within the corporate power and authority of Borrower; (c) do not and will not contravene or violate any Legal Requirement applicable to Borrower or the Organizational Documents of Borrower, the contravention or violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (d) do not and will not result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument by which Borrower or any of its Property may be bound, and (e) do not and will not result in the creation of any Lien upon any Property of Borrower, except in favor of Agent or as expressly contemplated herein or therein. All necessary permits, registrations and consents for such making and performance have been obtained.

     Section 6.4 Other Debt. Neither Borrower nor any its Restricted Subsidiaries is in default in the payment of any other Indebtedness or under any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement or lease to which it is a party and which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.5 Litigation. There is no litigation or administrative proceeding, to the knowledge of any executive officer of Borrower, pending or threatened against, nor any outstanding judgment, order or decree against, Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries before or by any Governmental Authority which does or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Borrower nor any its Restricted Subsidiaries is in default with respect to any judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Authority where such default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.6 Taxes. Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed all tax returns required to have been filed and paid all taxes shown thereon to be due, except those for which extensions have been obtained and those which are being contested in good faith or where

the failure to make required filings or pay required taxes could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     Section 6.7 Regulations U and X. None of the proceeds of any Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or carrying directly or indirectly any margin stock or for any other purpose would constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as any of them may be amended from time to time.

     Section 10.2 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (which may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall not be required in any way to determine the identity or authority of any Person delivering or executing the same. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and thereunder in accordance with instructions of the Majority Lenders, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

     Section 10.3 Defaults. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans) unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that Agent receives such a Notice of Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders (and shall give each Lender prompt notice of each such non-payment). Agent shall (subject to Section 10.7 hereof) take such action with respect to such Notice of Default as shall

be directed by the Majority Lenders and within its rights under the Loan Documents and at law or in equity, provided that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, permitted hereby with respect to such Notice of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders and within its rights under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity.

Agent may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, letter of credit, agency or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Agent; and Agent may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower (in addition to the fees heretofore agreed to between Borrower and Agent) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

     Section 10.6 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 11.3 or Section 11.4 hereof, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under said Sections 11.3 and 11.4), ratably in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Commitments (or, after termination of the Commitments, ratably in accordance with the Loans held by them, respectively), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which Borrower is obligated to pay under Sections 11.3 and 11.4 hereof, interest, penalties, attorneys’ fees and amounts paid in settlement, but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

Each Lender agrees that it has received current financial information with respect to Borrower that it has, independently and without reliance on Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the Properties or books of any Person. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Person which may come into the possession of Agent.

     Section 10.8 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction by the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 10.6 hereof against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

     Section 10.9 Resignation or Removal of Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, and Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority Lenders; provided, that Agent shall continue as Agent until such time as any successor shall have accepted appointment as Agent hereunder. Upon any such resignation or removal, (i) the Majority Lenders with the consent of Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent so long as such successor Agent is also a Lender at the time of such appointment and (ii) the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent that is not a Lender at the time of such appointment so long as Borrower consents to such appointment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent. Any successor Agent shall be a bank which has an office in the United States and a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under any other Loan Documents. Such successor Agent shall promptly specify by notice to Borrower its Principal Office referred to in Section 3.1 and Section 4 hereof. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

     Section 10.10 No Partnership. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor any of the other Loan Documents nor any interest the Lenders, Agent or any of them may now or hereafter have in all or any part of the Obligations shall create or be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture or other joint enterprise between the Lenders or among the Lenders and Agent. The relationship between the Lenders, on the one hand, and Agent, on the other, is and shall be that of principals and agent only, and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute Agent as trustee or other fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on Agent any duty, responsibility or obligation other than those expressly provided for herein and therein.

     Section 10.11 Authority of Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents with respect to any action taken by Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents shall, as between Agent and the Lenders, be governed by this Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between Agent and Borrower, Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting; and Borrower shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 11. Miscellaneous.

     Section 11.1 Waiver. No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall be a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default. No failure on the part of Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity.

     Section 11.2 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein (including, without limitation, any modifications of, or waivers or consents under, this Agreement) shall be given or made by telegraph, telecopy (confirmed by mail), cable or other writing and telecopied, telegraphed, cabled, mailed or delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages hereof (or provided for in an Assignment and Acceptance); or, as to any party hereto, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice (given in accordance with this Section) (i) as to Borrower, to Agent, (ii) as to Agent, to Borrower and to each Lender, and (iii) as to any Lender, to Borrower and Agent. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all such notices or communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when (i) transmitted by electronic mail, telecopier or delivered to the telegraph or cable office, (ii) personally delivered (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight mail or delivery service, postage prepaid or (iv) three Business Days’ after deposit in a receptacle maintained by the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

     Section 11.3 Expenses, Etc. Whether or not any Loan is ever made, Borrower shall pay or reimburse within 10 Business Days after written demand (a) Agent for paying the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Agent, together with the reasonable fees and expenses of each local counsel to Agent, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto) and the other Loan Documents and the making of the Loans, and any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) Agent for any reasonable and customary lien search fees; (c) Agent for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, documentation of the Loans or any of the Loan Documents; (d) Agent for paying all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to herein or therein, and (e) following the occurrence

and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any Lender or Agent for paying all amounts reasonably expended, advanced or incurred by such Lender or Agent to satisfy any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to collect the Obligations or to enforce, protect, preserve or defend the rights of the Lenders or Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses incurred in connection with such Lender’s or Agent’s participation as a member of a creditor’s committee in a case commenced with Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or other similar law, fees and expenses incurred in connection with lifting the automatic stay prescribed in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and fees and expenses incurred in connection with any action pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code and all other reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Lender or Agent in connection with such matters, together with interest thereon at the Past Due Rate on each such amount from the due date until the date of reimbursement to such Lender or Agent.

     Section 11.4 Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify each of Agent, the Lenders, and each affiliate thereof and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims or damages to which any of them may become subject, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims or damages arise out of or result from any (i) actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of any extension of credit (whether a Loan) by any Lender hereunder; (ii) breach by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iii) violation by Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any Legal Requirement, or (iv) investigation, litigation or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, and Borrower shall reimburse Agent, each Lender, and each Affiliate thereof and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, upon demand for any reasonable and customary expenses (including reasonable and customary legal fees) incurred in connection with any such investigation or proceeding; provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligations pursuant to this Section with respect to any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by the Person seeking indemnification by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Person or with respect to any disputes between or among any of Agent and Lenders. Nothing in this Section is intended to limit the obligations of Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. In the case of any indemnification hereunder, Agent or the respective Lender, as appropriate, shall give written notice to Borrower of any such claim or demand being made against an indemnified person and Borrower shall have the non-exclusive right to join in the defense against any such claim or demand, provided that if Borrower provides a defense, the indemnified person shall bear its own cost of defense unless there is a conflict of interests between Borrower and such indemnified person. No Indemnified Person may settle any claim to be indemnified without the consent of Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     Section 11.5 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or modification of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall in any event be effective against Borrower unless the same shall be agreed or consented to in writing by such Person. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, nor any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective against the Lenders unless the same shall be agreed or consented to in writing by the Majority Lenders, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender affected thereby, do any of the following: (a)

increase any Commitment of any of the Lenders (or reinstate any termination or reduction of the Commitments) or subject any of the Lenders to any additional obligations; (b) reduce the principal of, or interest on, any Loan or fee hereunder; (c) postpone or extend the Maturity Date or any scheduled date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan, fee or other sum to be paid hereunder or waive any Event of Default described in Section 9.1(a) hereof; (d) change the percentage of any of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of any of the Loans, or the percentage of Lenders, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Agreement, or (e) change any provision contained in Sections 7.9, 11.3 or 11.4 hereof or this Section 11.5. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.5 to the contrary, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be made with respect to Section 10 without the consent of Agent to the extent it affects Agent, as Agent.

     Section 11.6 Successors and Assigns.

          (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder, other than as permitted by Section 8.5 hereof, without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          (b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned; (iii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, at least five days prior to the proposed

effective date of such assignment, an Assignment and Acceptance in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (each an “Assignment and Acceptance”), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,000, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the “Effective Date” specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, except for any assigning Lender assigning to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund for which (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred or is continuing) the Borrower shall not have consented, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.3(c)(ii), 3.3(c)(iv), 11.4 and 4.1(E) with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section, subject to compliance with the requirements of such paragraph (d).

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

          (d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 11.5 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.3(c)(ii), 3.3(c)(iv) and 4.1(e) to the same extent (but only to the extent of its transferor Lender) as if it were a Lender and had acquired its

interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2 as though it were a Lender (but only to the extent of its transferor Lender), provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.5 as though it were a Lender.

          (e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.3(c)(ii) and 4.1(e) 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 which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.1(e) 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 11.13 as though it were a Lender.

          (f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

     Section 11.7 Limitation of Interest. The parties hereto intend to strictly comply with all applicable federal and Texas laws, including applicable usury laws (or the usury laws of any jurisdiction whose usury laws are deemed to apply to the Notes or any other Loan Documents). Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 11.7 shall govern and control over every other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section, even if such provision declares that it controls. As used in this Section, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the Obligations. In no event shall Borrower or any other Person be obligated to pay, or Agent or any Lender have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (a) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of nonusurious interest permitted under the laws of the State of Texas or the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any other jurisdiction, or (b) total interest in excess of the amount which such Person could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the Obligations at the Ceiling Rate. The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the Ceiling Rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable Ceiling Rate per annum by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made. None of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, Section 9.1 hereof) which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this Section 11.7, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the Ceiling Rate. If the term of any Obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any Default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason Agent or any Lender at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the Ceiling Rate, then and in any

such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to such Person, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of Borrower’s obligations to such Person, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

     Section 11.8 Survival. The obligations of Borrower under Sections 7.9, 11.3 and 11.4 hereof and all other obligations of Borrower in any other Loan Document (to the extent stated therein) and the obligations of the Lenders under Sections 4.1(e), 10.6, 11.7, 11.13 and 11.16 hereof, shall, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments.

     Section 11.9 Captions. Captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

     Section 11.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

     Section 11.11 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND (EXCEPT AS THEREIN PROVIDED) THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM TIME TO TIME IN EFFECT.

     Section 11.12 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. If any provision of any Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of such Loan Document shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 11.13 Tax Forms. Each Lender which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on the day of the initial borrowing from each such Lender hereunder and from time to time thereafter if requested by Borrower or Agent, provide Agent and Borrower with the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to such Lender’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder or other documents satisfactory to such Lender, Borrower and Agent indicating that all payments to be made to such Lender hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty. If a Lender determines, as a result of any change in either (i) applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application thereof or (ii) its circumstances, that it is unable to submit any form or certificate that it is obligated to submit pursuant to this Section, or that it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted, it shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent of such fact. Unless Borrower and Agent shall have received such forms or such documents indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, Borrower or Agent shall withhold taxes from such

payments at the applicable statutory rate. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless from any United States taxes, penalties, interest and other expenses, costs and losses incurred or payable by (i) Agent as a result of such Lender’s failure to submit any form or certificate that it required to provide pursuant to this Section or (ii) Borrower or Agent as a result of their reliance on any representation, form or certificate which such Lender has provided to them pursuant to this Section.

     Section 11.14 Conflicts Between This Agreement and the Other Loan Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

     Section 11.15 Limitation on Charges; Substitute Lenders; Non-Discrimination. Anything in Sections 3.3(c) or 7.9 notwithstanding:

          (a) Borrower shall not be required to pay to any Lender reimbursement or indemnification with regard to any costs or expenses described in such Sections, unless such Lender notifies Borrower of such costs or expenses within 90 days after the date paid or incurred;

          (b) none of the Lenders shall be permitted to pass through to Borrower charges and costs under such Sections on a discriminatory basis (i.e., which are not also passed through by such Lender to other customers of such Lender similarly situated where such customer is subject to documents providing for such pass through); and

          (c) if any Lender elects to pass through to Borrower any material charge or cost under such Sections or elects to terminate the availability of LIBOR Borrowings for any material period of time, Borrower may, within 60 days after the date of such event and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, elect to terminate such Lender as a party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such termination Borrower shall (i) if Agent and each of the other Lenders shall consent, pay that Lender all principal, interest and fees and other amounts owed to such Lender through such date of termination or (ii) have arranged for another financial institution approved by Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as of such date, to become a substitute Lender for all purposes under this Agreement in the manner provided in Section 11.6; provided further that, prior to substitution for any Lender, Borrower shall have given written notice to Agent of such intention and the Lenders shall have the option, but no obligation, for a period of 60 days after receipt of such notice, to increase their Commitments in order to replace the affected Lender in lieu of such substitution.

     Section 11.16 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to exercise its best efforts to keep any information delivered or made available by Borrower which is clearly indicated to be confidential information, confidential from anyone other than Persons employed or retained by such Lender or any of its Affiliates who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such information (a) to any other Lender; (b) pursuant to subpoena or upon the order of any court or administrative agency; (c) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Lender; (d) which has been publicly disclosed; (e) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation to which Agent, any Lender, Borrower or their respective Affiliates may be a party; (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder; (g) to such Lender’s bank

counsel and independent auditors; and (h) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, “information” shall not include, and the Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated hereby.

     Section 11.17 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

     Section 11.18 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES PRIOR HERETO OR SUBSTANTIALLY CONCURRENTLY HEREWITH CONSTITUTE A WRITTEN CREDIT AGREEMENT WHICH REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
