accounting or financial nature that are used in calculating the First Lien
Leverage Ratio, the Funded Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio, the
Secured Leverage Ratio or Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall be construed and
interpreted in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided

occurring after the date of delivery of the financial statements described in
Sections 5.5 and 8.1(l) in GAAP or in the application thereof (including the
conversion to IFRS as described below) on the operation of such provision (or if
the Agent notifies the Borrowers that the Required Lenders request an amendment
to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice
is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then
such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and
applied immediately before such change becomes effective until such notice shall
have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith; provided,
further, that if such an amendment is requested by the Borrowers or the Required
Lenders, then the Borrowers and the Agent shall negotiate in good faith to enter
into an amendment of the relevant affected provisions (without the payment of
any amendment or similar fee to the Lenders) to preserve the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the application
thereof; provided, further, that all terms of an accounting or financial nature
used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios
referred to herein shall be made without giving effect to (i) any election under

Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect)

If Loan Parties shall fail to deliver the financial statements, certificates

required pursuant to such sections, each Applicable Margin shall be conclusively
presumed to equal the highest Applicable Margin specified in the pricing table
set forth above until the date of delivery of such financial statements,

interest rates payable by Loan Parties under this Agreement and the Other
Documents pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be in
addition to and independent of any increase in such interest rates resulting
from the effectiveness of the Default Rate provisions of Section 3.1 hereof.

If, as a result of any restatement of, or other adjustment to, the financial
statements of Loan Parties on a Consolidated Basis or for any other reason,
Agent determines that (a) the RLOC Utilization as previously calculated as of
any applicable date for any applicable period was inaccurate, and (b) a proper
calculation of the RLOC Utilization for any such period would have resulted in
different pricing for such period, then (i) if the proper calculation of the
RLOC Utilization would have resulted in a higher interest rate for such period,
automatically and immediately without the necessity of any demand or notice by
Agent or any other affirmative act of any party, the interest accrued on the
applicable outstanding Advances for such period under the provisions of this
Agreement and the Other Documents shall be deemed to be retroactively increased
by, and Loan Parties shall be obligated to pay to Agent for the ratable benefit
of Lenders, promptly upon demand by Agent, an amount equal to the excess of the
amount of interest that should have been paid for such period over the amount of
interest actually paid for such period; and (ii) if the proper calculation of
the RLOC Utilization would have resulted in a lower interest rate for such
period, then the interest accrued on the applicable outstanding Advances for
such period under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents shall
be deemed to remain

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

unchanged, and Lenders shall have no obligation to repay interest to Loan
Parties; provided, that, if as a result of any restatement or other event a
proper calculation of the RLOC Utilization would have resulted in a higher
interest rate for one or more periods and a lower interest rate for one or more
other periods (due to the shifting of income or expenses from one period to
another period or any other reason), then the amount payable by Loan Parties
pursuant to clause (i) above shall be based upon the excess, if any, of the
amount of interest that should have been paid for all applicable periods over
the amounts of interest actually paid for such periods.

in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion.

“Base Rate” shall mean the base commercial lending rate of PNC as publicly
announced to be in effect from time to time, such rate to be adjusted

actually charged by PNC to any particular class or category of customers of PNC.

calculation of any financial ratio or test (x) any Subject Transaction has
occurred or (y) any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or
was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Holdings or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or any joint venture since the beginning of such test
period has consummated any Subject Transaction, then, in each case, any
applicable financial ratio or test shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis for
such test period as if such Subject Transaction had occurred at the beginning of
the applicable test period (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt,
that solely for purposes of calculating quarterly compliance with Section 6.5,
the date of the required calculation shall be the last day of the test period,
and no Subject Transaction occurring thereafter shall be taken into account).
(b)For purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change,
transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio or test
(including, without limitation, Section 6.5, any Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio

Leverage Ratio test, any Secured Leverage Ratio test, the amount of Consolidated

60

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken
(subject to clause (a) above), such change is made, such transaction is
consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and no Default or Event of
Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such
financial ratio or test occurring after the time such action is taken, such
change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the
case may be.
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any
action required to be taken in connection with a Limited Conditionality

(b)testing  availability  under  covenant  baskets  set  forth  in  this

election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Conditionality
Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination shall be deemed to be
the date of the Subject Acquisition Agreement (the “LCA Test Date”), and if,
after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Conditionality Acquisition and the
other transactions required to be entered into in connection therewith
(including any incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds
thereof) as of the LCA Test Date, the Borrowing Agent would have been permitted
to take such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio,
test or basket, such ratio, test or basket shall be deemed to have been complied
with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrowing Agent has made an LCA
Election and any of the ratios, tests or baskets for which compliance was
determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of
fluctuations in any such ratio, test or basket, including due to fluctuations in
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA or Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrowing Agent or
the Person subject to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition, at or prior to
the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets, tests or
ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such
fluctuations. If the Borrowing Agent has made an LCA Election for any Limited
Conditionality Acquisition, then in connection with any calculation of any
ratio, test or basket availability with respect to any transaction following the
relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such
Limited Conditionality Acquisition is consummated or the date that the Subject
Acquisition Agreement is terminated or expires without consummation of such
Limited Conditionality Acquisition, for purposes of determining whether any such
required transaction is permitted under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or
basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited
Conditionality Acquisition and such other required transaction (including any
incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been
consummated.  For the avoidance of doubt, a minimum Undrawn Availability test
shall not be deemed a financial ratio, test or basket for purposes of this
Section 1.5.

(c)a reserve for any brokered accounts payable more than thirty (30) days past
due, minus
(d)the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit; minus
(e)such Reserves established hereunder.

The amount derived from the sum of (x) Sections 2.1(a)(y)(i) and (ii) minus (y)
Sections 2.1 (a)(y)(iii), (iv) and (v) at any time and from time to time shall
be referred to as the “Formula Amount”.  If so requested by a Lender, Borrowers
shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (“Revolving
Credit Note”) to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Advance, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1(a).  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the foregoing or otherwise in this Agreement, the
outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans and the Revolving Advances
at any one time outstanding shall

62

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance
Amount less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters or (ii) the
Formula Amount.

(b)Discretionary Rights.  The Advance Rates may be increased or decreased by
Agent at any time and from time to time in its sole judgment exercised in good
faith.  Agent will endeavor to provide Borrowers with notice prior to making any
changes in the Advance Rates but failure to provide such notice shall not
invalidate any Advance Rate changes that may be instituted.  Borrowers consent
to any such increases or decreases and acknowledge that decreasing the Advance
Rates or increasing or imposing Reserves may limit or restrict Advances
requested by Borrowing Agent.  The rights of Agent under this subsection are
subject to the provisions of Section 16.2(b).
2.2Procedures for Requesting Revolving Advances; Procedures for Selection of
Applicable Interest Rates for All Advances.
(a)Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify Agent prior to 3:00 p.m.
New York time on a Business Day of a Borrower’s request to incur, on that day, a
Revolving Advance hereunder.  Should any amount required to be paid as interest
hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other
agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation under
this Agreement, become due, the same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving
Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan as of the date such payment is due,
in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation,
and such request shall be irrevocable.
(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event any
Borrower desires to obtain a LIBOR Rate Loan for any Advance (other than a Swing
Loan), Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00
p.m. New York time on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date
such LIBOR Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the proposed
borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing and the
amount of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in an aggregate
principal amount that is not less than $1,000,000 and at an integral multiples
of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest
Period therefor.  Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Loans shall be for one (1),
two (2), three (3), or six (6) months; provided that, if an Interest Period
would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next
succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar
month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business
Day.  Any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar
month (or a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the last
calendar month of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of
the last calendar month of such Interest Period. Upon and after the occurrence
of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of
Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders, no LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made
available to any Borrower.  After giving effect to each requested LIBOR Rate
Loan, including those which are converted from a Domestic Rate Loan under
Section 2.2(e), there shall not be outstanding more than four (4) LIBOR Rate
Loans, in the aggregate.
(c)Each Interest Period of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall commence on the date such
LIBOR Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect
as set

63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

forth in subsection (b)(iii) above, provided that the exact length of each
Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of the
interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end
after the last day of the Term.
(d)Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR
Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b)
or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the
case may be.  Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding
Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration
not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day which is three (3) Business
Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to
such LIBOR Rate Loan.  If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest
Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have
elected to convert such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to
Section 2.2(e) below.
(e)On the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to
any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic
Rate Loans, Borrowing Agent may, on behalf of Borrowers, convert any such loan
into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that
any conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day
of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan and any
conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan may only be done if no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing.  If Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan,
Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New
York time) (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on
which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic
Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or (ii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day
prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the
last Business Day of the Interest Period for the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan)
with respect to a conversion from a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan,
specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted
and if the conversion is from a Domestic Rate Loan to any other type of loan,
the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.
(f)At its option and upon written notice given prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York
time) at least three (3) Business Days (or 1 Business Day in the case of
Domestic Rate Loans) prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may,
subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay Advances in whole at any time or in
part from time to time without premium or penalty (other than fees associated
with the prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans prior to the end of an Interest Period)
with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such
repayment; such Borrower shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances,
identify which Advances are LIBOR Rate Loans and which are Domestic Rate Loans
and the amount of such prepayment.  In the event that any prepayment of a LIBOR
Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of
the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall
indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof.
(g)Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders
harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders
may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any
default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any
LIBOR Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a
prepayment of or conversion of or to a LIBOR Rate Loan after notice

64

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by
Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain
its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder.  A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to
Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(h)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty,
regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or
application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make
it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the
term “Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender
or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans)
to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such
affected Lender) to make LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled
and Borrowers shall, if any affected LIBOR Rate Loans are then outstanding,
promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected LIBOR Rate Loans
or convert such affected LIBOR Rate Loans into loans of another type.  If any
such payment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan is made on a day that is not
the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan,
Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent’s request, such amount or amounts set
forth in clause (g) above.  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable
pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(i)Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither any Agent
nor any Lender, nor any of their participants, is required to acquire LIBOR
deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest
accrues based on the LIBOR Rate.  The provisions set forth herein shall apply as
if each Lender or its participants had match funded any Obligation as to which
interest is accruing based on the LIBOR Rate by acquiring LIBOR deposits for
each Interest Period in the amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans.
2.3[Reserved].
2.4Swing Loans.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order
to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative
convenience, Agent, Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and Swing Loan Lender
agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing
Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion
cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances
(“Swing Loans”) available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.4 at
any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the
expiration of the Term, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess
of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the outstanding
aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans and the Revolving Advances at any one
time outstanding shall not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit, or (ii) the Formula Amount.  All Swing Loans
shall be Domestic Rate Loans only.  Borrowers may borrow (at the option and
election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election
of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as
provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between Settlement Dates.  All
Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory note (the “Swing Loan
Note”)

65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(a).  Swing Loan
Lender’s agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any
time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan
Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish
any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be
obligated to make Swing Loans in the future
(b)Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance made
pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request
by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance pursuant to the provisions of Section
2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such
request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance
same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make
Swing Loan Advances if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by
Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in
Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Revolving
Commitments have been terminated for any reason.
(c)Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been
requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving
Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan
in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage.  Swing Loan Lender or
Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to
fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section
2.6(d) below.  From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any
Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender
its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest
and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan;
provided that no Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any
event to make Revolving Advances in an amount in excess of its Revolving
Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any
reallocations under Section 2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all
outstanding Letters of Credit.
2.5Disbursement of Advance Proceeds.  All Advances shall be disbursed from
whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and,
together with any and all other Obligations of Borrowers to Agent or Lenders,
shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account on Agent’s books.  The proceeds of each
Revolving Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any
Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Sections 2.2(a),
2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances,
to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances in accordance with Section
2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any
request or deemed request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance to the
extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in accordance with Section 2.4(b)
hereof, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by
way of credit to such Borrower’s operating account at PNC, or such other bank as
Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately
available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, (ii) with
respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or
Swing Loans made upon

66

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

any deemed request for a Revolving Advance by any Borrower, be disbursed to
Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed
request.  During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances and Swing
Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof.

2.6Making and Settlement of Advances.
(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the
applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving
Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22).  Each borrowing of
Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone.
(b)Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a
Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving
Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making
of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing
Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.4(a), Agent shall
notify Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments of its receipt of such request
specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment
among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance as determined by Agent in
accordance with the terms hereof.  Each Lender shall remit the principal amount
of each Revolving Advance to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall,
to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such
purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance to Borrowers in
U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the
close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any
applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent
may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving
Advance of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject
to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof.
(c)Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by
any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that such Lender will not make the
amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of
the requested Revolving Advance available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on
such date in accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount.  Agent will
endeavor in good faith to promptly notify Borrowing Agent of its receipt of any
such notice from a Lender, but shall bear no liability for any failure to so
provide such notice.  If a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Revolving
Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance available to Agent on
the applicable borrowing date, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers
severally agree to pay to Agent on demand such corresponding amount with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at
(i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x)
the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B)
a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by
Borrowers, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances that are Domestic
Rate Loans.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance
to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s

67

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revolving Advance.  Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any
claim Borrowers may have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that
shall have failed to make such payment to Agent.  A certificate of Agent
submitted to any Lender or Borrowers with respect to any amounts owing under
this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.
(d)Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a
“Settlement”) of all or any Swing Loans with Lenders holding the Revolving
Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent
elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason
whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments
of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission
no later than 3:00 p.m. New York time, on the date of such requested Settlement
(the “Settlement Date”).  Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22,
each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the amount of such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount
(plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the
applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to
such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. New York
time, on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m. New York time,
otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. New York time, on the next Business Day.
 Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent
to making Revolving Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or
the Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time.
 All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of
outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances
of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans.  If any such amount is
not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment on such
Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from
such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c).
(e)If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of
all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in
respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a
greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other
Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon,
and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly
permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the
other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s
Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such
Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such
Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or
proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided, however, that if all
or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from
such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price
and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
 Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion
of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including
rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were
the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such
purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of
any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the
Collateral, and the obligations

68

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such
purchased portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the
Obligations secured by the Collateral.
2.7Maximum Advances.  The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing
Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum
Revolving Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued
and outstanding Letters of Credit, or (b) the Formula Amount.
2.8Manner and Repayment of Advances.
(a)The Revolving Advances and Swing Loans shall be due and payable in full on
the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided.  The
Revolving Advances may be prepaid at any time and from time to time without
premium or penalty (other than fees associated with the prepayment of LIBOR Rate
Loans prior to the end of an Interest Period).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or (y) termination of
this Agreement.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on
account of the principal of and interest on the Advances shall be applied, first
to the outstanding Swing Loans and next, pro rata according to the applicable
Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving
Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22).
(b)Borrowers recognize that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or
any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be
collectible by Agent on the date received.  In consideration of Agent’s
agreement to conditionally credit Borrowers’ Account as of the next Business Day
following Agent’s receipt of those items of payment, Borrowers agree that, in
computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed
applied by Agent on account of the Obligations one (1) Business Day after (i)
the Business Day Agent receives such payments via wire transfer or electronic
depository check or (ii) in the case of payments received by Agent in any other
form, the Business Day such payment constitutes good funds in Agent’s account.
 Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers’ Account for the amount of
any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge
Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to
Agent unpaid.  All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable
hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the
Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time, on the due date therefor
in Dollars in funds immediately available to Agent.  Agent shall have the right
to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by
charging Borrowers’ Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2
hereof.
(c)Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to
be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other
amounts payable hereunder shall be made without any deduction, setoff or
counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of Lenders to the Payment
Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m. New York time, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds.

69

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.9Repayment of Excess Advances.  If at any time the aggregate balance of
outstanding Revolving Advances, Swing Loans, and/or Advances taken as a whole
exceeds the maximum amount of such type of Advances and/or Advances taken as a
whole (as applicable) permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be
immediately due and payable without necessity of any demand at the Payment
Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.
2.10Statement of Account.  Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its
customary procedures, a loan account (“Borrowers’ Account”) in the name of
Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by
Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof;
provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any
Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender.  Each month, Agent shall
send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances
made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions
between Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month.  The monthly statements
shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest
error and shall constitute an account stated among Lenders and Borrowers unless
Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto
within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent.
 The records of Agent with respect to Borrowers’ Account shall be conclusive
evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges
thereto and of payments applicable thereto.
2.11Letters of Credit.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the
issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated in Dollars
(collectively, “Letters of Credit” and each a “Letter of Credit”) for the
account of Borrowers; provided, however, that Issuer will not be required to
issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the
issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding Revolving
Advances plus (ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the Maximum Undrawn
Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the lesser of (x) the
Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, or (y) the Formula Amount (calculated without
giving effect to the deduction provided for in Section 2.1(a)(y)(iv)).  The
Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed in
the aggregate at any time the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  All disbursements or
payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans
consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving
Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans.  Letters of Credit that have not been
drawn upon shall not bear interest.  It is agreed that each Existing Letter of
Credit shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement and each shall
be a Letter of Credit hereunder, and as of the Closing Date, each Lender holding
a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuer of each Existing Letter of
Credit a participation in such Existing Letter of Credit and each drawing
thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage
of the Maximum Undrawn Face Amount of such Existing Letter of Credit and the
amount of such drawing, respectively.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under
any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or
decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to
enjoin or restrain  Issuer from

70

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to Issuer or any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority with jurisdiction over Issuer shall prohibit, or request that Issuer
refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of
Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with respect to the Letter of
Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which Issuer is not
otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or
shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which Issuer in good faith deems
material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one
or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.
2.12Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(a)Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue or
cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer, with a copy to
Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 10:00 a.m. New York time, at least five
(5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer’s form of
Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”) completed to
the satisfaction of Agent and Issuer; and, such other certificates, documents
and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request.
 Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuer has
received notice from Agent or any Lender that one or more of the applicable
conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or
the Revolving Commitments have been terminated.  Borrowers also have the right
to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any application, any
applicable letter of credit and security agreement, any applicable Letter of
Credit reimbursement agreement and/or any other applicable agreement, any letter
of credit and the disposition of documents, disposition of any unutilized funds,
and to agree with Agent upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter
of Credit.
(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment
of sight drafts or other written demands for payment, and (ii) have an expiry
date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of
issuance (as such expiry dates may be automatically renewed and extended under
the terms of any such Letter of Credit) and in no event later than five (5)
Business Days prior to the last day of the Term.  Each standby Letter of Credit
shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary
Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at
the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the “UCP”) or the International Standby
Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), or any
subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as
determined by Issuer, and each trade Letter of Credit shall be subject to UCP.
(c)Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by
Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.
2.13Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.  Borrowing Agent hereby
authorizes and directs any Issuer to name the applicable Borrower as the
“Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit.  If Agent is not the
Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent hereby authorizes and directs
Issuer to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and
property received by Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and

71

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to accept and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all
matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, and the application
therefor.

2.14Disbursements, Reimbursement.
(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter
of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of
Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing,
respectively.
(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Agent and
Borrowing Agent.  Provided that it shall have received such notice, Borrowers
shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuer shall sometimes be referred
to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) Issuer prior to 12:00 p.m. New York time, on
each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such
date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by Issuer.  In
the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for the full amount of any drawing
under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 p.m. New York time, on the Drawing Date,
Issuer will promptly notify Agent and each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment
thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a
Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan be made by Lenders to be
disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding
the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such
Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 8.2
are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances
hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section
2.14(c) immediately below.  Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section
2.14(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack
of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
effect of such notice.
(c)Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Agent at the Payment Office an
amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Commitment
Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) of the amount of
the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section
2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a
Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount.  If any Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Agent, for the
benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage
of such amount by 2:00 p.m. New York time, on the Drawing Date, then interest
shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing
Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days
following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate
applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after
the fourth day following the Drawing Date.  Agent and Issuer will promptly give
notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Agent or Issuer to
give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any
Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect such payment on such date shall
not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.14(c),
provided that such Lender

72

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and
(ii) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Agent or
Issuer of a drawing.
(d)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a
Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in
part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers’ failure to
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice
requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have
incurred from Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the
amount of such drawing.  Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and
payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate
per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan.
 Each applicable Lender’s payment to Agent pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be
deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit
Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Lender in
satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in respect of the applicable Letter
of Credit under this Section 2.14.
(e)Each applicable Lender’s Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters
of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events:
 (x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of
Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains
outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have
been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of
Credit.
2.15Repayment of Participation Advances.
(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by Agent for the account of Issuer of
immediately available funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment
made by Issuer or Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any
Lender has made a Participation Advance to Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest
on such a payment made by Issuer or Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Agent
will pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as
those received by Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage of such funds, except Agent shall retain the amount of the Revolving
Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment
that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by Agent
(and, to the extent that any of the other Lenders holding the Revolving
Commitment have funded any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22, Agent will pay over
to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from
such Defaulting Lender).
(b)If Issuer or Agent is required at any time to return to any Borrower, or to a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency
proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Borrowers to Issuer or Agent
pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter
of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender shall, on demand of
Agent, forthwith return to Issuer or Agent the amount of its Revolving
Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Agent plus
interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

73

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.16Documentation.  Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter
of Credit Application and by Issuer’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit
issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer’s written regulations and
customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer’s
interpretations may be different from such Borrower’s own.  In the event of a
conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this
Agreement shall govern.  It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of
gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for
any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in
following Borrowing Agent’s or any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in
the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
2.17Determination to Honor Drawing Request.  In determining whether to honor any
request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof,
Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and
certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been
delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such
Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of
such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.
2.18Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.  The obligation of
each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to
make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing
under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer
upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of
this Section 2.18 under all circumstances, including the following
circumstances:
(a)any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against Issuer, Agent, any
Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever;
(b)the failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with
a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this Agreement
for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such
conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and
the obligation of Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.14;
(c)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
(d)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower, Agent,
Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the
existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense
or other right which any Borrower, Agent, Issuer or any Lender may have at any
time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any
Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom
any such transferee or assignee may be acting), Issuer, Agent or any Lender or
any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying
transaction between any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of such Borrower and the
beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

74

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e)the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery
of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand,
instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with
any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any
Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services
relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if Issuer or any of Issuer’s
Affiliates has been notified thereof;
(f)payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a
demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing
shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable
Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face
appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of
Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);
(g)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter
of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation
relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity,
condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to
a Letter of Credit;
(h)any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of
Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Agent and Issuer have
each received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure within three
(3) Business Days after Issuer shall have furnished Agent and Borrowing Agent a
copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been
made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;
(i)the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;
(j)any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party thereto;
(k)the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with respect to any
Loan Party;
(l)the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(m)the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the
obligations of Lenders to make Advances have been terminated; and
(n)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing.
2.19Liability for Acts and Omissions.
(a)As between Borrowers and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Agent and Lenders, each
Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the
Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.
 In furtherance and not in limitation of

75

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the foregoing, Issuer shall not be responsible for:  (i) the form, validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by
any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter
of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its
Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency
of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign
any such 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; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit,
or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply
fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit
or any other claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and
any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages,
by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;
(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the
misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds
of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising
from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and
none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of
Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall
relieve Issuer from liability for Issuer’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in
such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence.  In no event shall Issuer or
Issuer’s Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential,
incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including
without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any
change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.
(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer and each of its
Affiliates:  (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good
faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on
behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation
if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the
terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a
previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such
dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of
wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the
same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with
any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that
is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment,
upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or
other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any
failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way
with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank
claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place
where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand
made on Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the
applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity
issued to a carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an
“Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is
the subject of such Order,

76

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with
such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.
(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions
set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Issuer under or in connection
with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates
delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any
resulting liability to any Borrower, Agent or any Lender.
2.20Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)Subject to Section 7.1(b) hereof, when a Trigger Period is in effect and any
Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of any ABL Facility Priority Collateral,
Borrowers shall prepay the Advances in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds
of such sale (i.e., gross proceeds less the reasonable costs of such sales or
other dispositions and related taxes and any debt required to be repaid (“Net
Cash Proceeds”)), such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than
three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, and until
the date of payment, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent.
 The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale
otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof.  Such repayments shall
be applied to the Advances in such order as Agent may determine, subject to
Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms
hereof.
(b)In the event that there are any Term Loan Declined Proceeds during the
continuation of a Trigger Period, Borrowers shall, no later than three (3)
Business Days after the receipt by Borrowers of notice that any such Term Loan
Declined Proceeds have been declined under any applicable mandatory prepayment
provision of the Term Loan Agreement, repay the Advances in an amount equal to
such Declined Proceeds.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this
Section 2.20(b) shall not apply to the proceeds of the Equity Contribution.  
(c)During the continuation of a Trigger Period, all Net Cash Proceeds received
by Borrowers or Agent (i) under any insurance policy on account of damage or
destruction or (ii) as a result of any taking or condemnation, in each case, of
any (A) ABL Facility Priority Collateral of any Borrowers or (B) Term Loan
Priority Collateral (solely to the extent that there are any Term Loan Declined
Proceeds under any applicable mandatory prepayment provision of the Term Loan
Agreement), in each case shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.6.
2.21Use of Proceeds.
(a)Loan Parties shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) finance a portion of
any Permitted Acquisition, (ii) pay fees and expenses relating to the
Transactions, (iii) provide for their working capital needs and reimburse
drawings under Letters of Credit, and (iv) for other general corporate purposes
of Loan Parties.
(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, neither Loan
Parties nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this
Agreement or the Other

77

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Documents as a Loan Party, intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the
proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation
of Applicable Law.
2.22Defaulting Lender.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such
Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the
extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Lender is
a Defaulting Lender.
(b)(a)except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22, Revolving
Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments which
are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Revolving Commitment
Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro
rata share of any Revolving Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall
be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender.  Amounts
received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances shall be
applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances of each Lender (other than any
Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with their
Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that, Agent shall not be obligated
to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for Defaulting
Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of
any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees).  Amounts
payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent.
 Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the amount of such
payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.
(b)fees pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such
Defaulting Lender.
(c)if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings
under any Letter of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are
outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(A)Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans
and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be
reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments in
proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such
Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such
reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances
made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such
Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans
plus such Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum
Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving
Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;
(B)if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, Loan Parties shall within one Business Day following
notice by Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be
reallocated, and (y) second, cash

78

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

collateralize for the benefit of Issuer, Loan Parties’ obligations corresponding
to such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn
Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation
pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) (except that, so
long as no Event of Default is continuing, the amount of cash required to be
deposited by Loan Parties pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall be an amount equal
to one hundred percent (100%) of Loan Parties’ obligations corresponding to such
Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of
all Letters of Credit) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;
(C)if Loan Parties cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit
pursuant to clause (B) above, Loan Parties shall not be required to pay any fees
to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of
all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash
collateralized;
(D)if Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount
of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the
fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a)
shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving
Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and
(E)if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in
the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor
cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then, without
prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all
Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn
Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such
Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated
and/or cash collateralized; and
(d)so long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting Lender,
Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall
not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such
Swing Loan Lender or such Issuer, as applicable, is satisfied that the related
exposure and Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn
Amount of all Letters of Credit or all Swing Loans, as applicable (after giving
effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully
allocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash
collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by Loan Parties in
accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any
newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be
allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section
2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate
therein).
(c)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to
approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this
Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other
modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without
regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition

79

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of “Required Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender,
to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage.
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to vote
on any matter increasing such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage or
maximum dollar commitment.
(d)Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and
obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent)
and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged.  Nothing in this Section
2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under
this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall
operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall
prejudice any rights which any Loan Party, Agent or any Lender may have against
any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender
hereunder.
(e)In the event that Agent, Loan Parties, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer agree in
writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused
such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Revolving
Commitment, then Participation Commitments of Lenders holding Revolving
Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and
Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated
to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and on such date
such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances of the other
Lenders as Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to
hold such Revolving Advances in accordance with its Revolving Commitment
Percentage.
(f)If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender
holding a Revolving Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under
one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit,
Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall
not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing
Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements
with Loan Parties or such Lender, satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer,
as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender
hereunder.
2.23Payment of Obligations.  Agent may charge to Borrowers’ Account as a
Revolving Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing Loan
(i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder
(including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments
of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments
under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and
payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon
maturity or otherwise), (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing
clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Agent or any Lender pursuant to Sections
4.2 or 4.3 hereof and (b) all expenses which Agent incurs in connection with the
forwarding of Advance proceeds and the establishment and maintenance of any
Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts as provided for in Section 4.8(h), and
(iii) any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Loan Party’s failure
to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other
Document including any Loan Party’s obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.3,
6.4, 6.6 and 6.8 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the
Obligations and shall be secured by the Collateral.  To the extent Revolving
Advances are not actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such
amounts so charged,

80

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and
owing to Agent and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of
interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents
with respect to such Revolving Advances.

2.24Increase in Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.
(a)Borrowers may, at any time prior to the date that is one year prior to the
last day of the Term, request that the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount be
increased by (i) one or more of the current Lenders increasing their Revolving
Commitment Amount (any current Lender which elects to increase its Revolving
Commitment Amount shall be referred to as an “Increasing Lender”) or (ii) one or
more new lenders (each a “New Lender”) joining this Agreement and providing a
Revolving Commitment Amount hereunder, in each case subject to the following
terms and conditions:
(a)No current Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Commitment
Amount and any increase in the Revolving Commitment Amount by any current Lender
shall be in the sole discretion of such current Lender;
(b)Borrowers may not request the addition of a New Lender unless (and then only
to the extent that) Borrowers do not receive written confirmations of sufficient
participation on behalf of the existing Lenders in the increased Revolving
Commitments being requested by Borrowers within ten (10) Business Days after
such request;
(c)There shall exist no Event of Default or Default on the effective date of
such increase after giving effect to such increase;
(d)After giving effect to such increase, the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount
shall not exceed $150,000,000;
(e)Borrowers may not request an increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount
under this Section 2.24 more than three (3) times during the Term, in minimum
increments of $5,000,000.
(f)Loan Parties shall deliver to Agent on or before the effective date of such
increase the following documents in form and substance satisfactory to Agent:
 (1) certifications of their corporate secretaries with attached resolutions
certifying that the increase in the Revolving Commitment Amounts has been

and be continuing and certifying that the representations and warranties made by
each Loan Party herein and in the Other Documents are true and complete in all
material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such
date (except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates
only to any earlier and/or specified date), (3) such other agreements,
instruments and information (including supplements or modifications to this
Agreement and/or the Other Documents executed by Loan Parties as Agent
reasonably deems necessary in order to document the increase to the Maximum
Revolving Advance Amount and to protect, preserve and continue the perfection
and priority of the liens, security interests, rights and remedies of Agent and
Lenders hereunder and under the Other Documents in light of such increase,

81

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and (4) if requested by Agent, an opinion of counsel in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Agent which shall cover such matters related to such
increase as Agent may reasonably require and each Loan Party hereby authorizes
and directs such counsel to deliver such opinions to Agent and Lenders;
(g)If requested, Borrowers shall execute and deliver (1) to each Increasing
Lender a replacement Revolving Credit Note reflecting the new amount of such
Increasing Lender’s Revolving Commitment Amount after giving effect to the
increase (and the prior Note issued to such Increasing Lender shall be deemed to
be cancelled and, upon Loan Parties’ request, shall be returned to Loan Parties)
and (2) to each New Lender a Note reflecting the amount of such New Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Amount;
(h)Any New Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the approval of Agent,
Issuer and Borrowing Agent;
(i)Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving
Commitment Amount pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to Agent,
signed by it and each Loan Party and delivered to Agent at least five (5) days
before the effective date of such increase;
(j)Each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in the form of Exhibit
2.24(a)(x) hereto (a “Lender Joinder”) pursuant to which such New Lender shall
join and become a party to this Agreement and the Other Documents with a
Revolving Commitment Amount as set forth in such Lender Joinder;
(k)Agent shall have received documentation and evidence satisfactory to it in
its Permitted Discretion that the increased Revolving Commitments are permitted
to be incurred under the Term Loan Agreement; and
(l)The terms and pricing of all Commitments and Revolving Advances incurred
under this Section 2.24 may be different than the terms and pricing of the
existing Commitments and Revolving Advances prior to giving effect to such
increase but shall be no more favorable to any Increasing Lender or New Lender,
as the case may be, than the terms and pricing of such existing Commitments and
Revolving Advances.
(b)On the effective date of such increase, each Increasing Lender shall be
deemed to have purchased an additional/increased participation in, and each New
Lender will be deemed to have purchased a new participation in, each then
outstanding Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder and each then
outstanding Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage (as calculated pursuant to Section 16.21) of the Maximum Undrawn
Amount of each such Letter of Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the
amount of each drawing and of each such Swing Loan, respectively.  As necessary
to effectuate the foregoing, each existing Lender holding a Revolving Commitment
Percentage that is not an Increasing Lender shall be deemed to have sold to each
applicable Increasing Lender and/or New Lender, as necessary, a portion of such
existing Lender’s participations in such outstanding Letters of Credit and
drawings and such outstanding Swing Loans such that, after giving effect to all
such purchases and sales, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment (including
each Increasing Lender and/or

82

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Lender) shall hold a participation in all Letters of Credit (and drawings
thereunder) and all Swing Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving
Commitment Percentages (as calculated pursuant to Section 16.21 above).
(c)On the effective date of such increase, Loan Parties shall pay all reasonable
and documented cost and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the
negotiations regarding, and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery
of all agreements and instruments executed and delivered by any of Agent, Loan
Parties and/or Increasing Lenders and New Lenders in connection with, such
increase (including all fees for any supplemental or additional public filings
of any Other Documents necessary to protect, preserve and continue the
perfection and priority of the liens, security interests, rights and remedies of
Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the Other Documents in light of such
increase).
(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.24 or any other
provision of any Other Document, if the proceeds of any Revolving Advances as a
result of an increase in the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount will be used to
consummate a Limited Conditionality Acquisition and the Borrowing Agent has made
an LCA Election with respect to such Limited Conditionality Acquisition, the
condition that, at the time of the effectiveness of any increase in the Maximum
Revolving Advance Amount and Revolving Advances in connection therewith (and
after giving effect thereto), no Event of Default shall exist, may be tested and
satisfied as of the LCA Test Date; provided, that, (x) upon the effectiveness of
any Revolving Advances as a result of an increase in the Maximum Revolving
Advance Amount, no Event of Default under Section 10.1, 10,6 or 10.7 shall exist
and (y) the availability of such Revolving Advances shall nevertheless be
subject to customary “specified acquisition agreement” representations.
Article IIIINTEREST AND FEES.
3.1Interest.  Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first day
of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to LIBOR
Rate Loans, at (a) the end of each Interest Period, or (b) for LIBOR Rate Loans
with an Interest Period in excess of three months, at the end of each three
month period during such Interest Period, provided further that all accrued and
unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term.  Interest
charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding
during the month at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving
Advances, the applicable Revolving Interest Rate and (ii) with respect to Swing
Loans, the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans.  Except as expressly
provided otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances
that are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving Interest Rate
for Domestic Rate Loans, subject to the provision of the final sentence of this
Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate.  Whenever, subsequent to the date of
this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the Revolving
Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice
or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the
Alternate Base Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect.
 The LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans without
notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve
Percentage as of such effective date.  Upon and after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option

83

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event
of Default under Section 10.7 (other than Section 10.7(vii)), immediately and
automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the
requirement of any affirmative action by any party), after notice to Loan
Parties, (i) the Obligations other than LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at
the Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans plus two percent (2.00%) per annum and
(ii) LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at the Interest Rate for LIBOR Rate
Loans plus two percent (2.00%) per annum, as applicable (the “Default Rate”).

3.2Letter of Credit Fees.
(a)Loan Parties shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders
holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period
from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of
expiration or termination, equal to the aggregate daily face amount of each
outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Revolving
Advances consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable
quarterly in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter and on the last day
of the Term, and (y) to Issuer, a fronting fee of one eighth of one percent
(0.125%) per annum times the aggregate daily face amount of each outstanding
Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same
to and including the date of expiration or termination, to be payable quarterly
in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the
Term. (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”).  In addition,
Loan Parties shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, any and all
administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with
respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by Issuer
and Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter of Credit, including in
connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit
and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges, fees (other than the
Letter of Credit Fees) and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand.  All such
charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and
payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the
termination of this Agreement for any reason.  Any such charge in effect at the
time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction,
notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuer’s prevailing charges for that
type of transaction.  Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and
during the continuation thereof, at the option of Agent or at the direction of
Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7,
immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default
without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of
Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by
an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.  Any Letters of Credit which Agent
agrees to allow to remain outstanding after the termination of this Agreement
will be cash collateralized in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent
(105%) of the amount thereof in the manner described below.
(b)On demand by Agent or Issuer, when an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.  Loan Parties will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an
account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and
five percent (105%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit, and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in its
discretion, on such Loan Party’s behalf and in such Loan Party’s name, to open
such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account
opened by such Loan Party, in the amounts required to be made by such Loan
Party, out of the

84

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such
Loan Party coming into any Lender’s possession at any time.  Agent may, in its
discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in such
short-term money-market items as to which Agent and such Loan Party mutually
agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Agent may reasonably select) and
the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and
constitute additional cash collateral, or Agent may (notwithstanding the
foregoing) establish the account provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a
non-interest bearing account and in such case Agent shall have no obligation
(and Loan Parties hereby waive any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code or under any other Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash
collateral being held by Agent.  No Loan Party may withdraw amounts credited to
any such account except upon the occurrence of all of the following:
 (x) payment and performance in full of all Obligations; (y) the cure of such
Event of Default or waiver thereof or expiration of all Letters of Credit; and
(z) the termination of this Agreement.  Loan Parties hereby assign, pledge and
grant to Agent, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and
each other holder of Obligations, a continuing security interest in and to and
Lien on any such cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Loan
Parties in any deposit account, securities account or investment account into
which such cash collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the
Obligations, specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters
of Credit.  Loan Parties agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement
Obligations (or any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of
Credit Fees) with respect to the Letters of Credit, Agent may use such cash
collateral to pay and satisfy such Obligations.
3.3Facility Fee.  Loan Parties shall pay to Agent a fee for the ratable benefit
of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments based on their Revolving Commitment
Percentages, in an amount equal to the Facility Fee multiplied by the amount by
which the average Maximum Revolving Advance Amount exceeds the Usage Amount
during any Fiscal Quarter.  Such fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the
first day of each month with respect to the previous month.
3.4Fee Letter.  Loan Parties shall pay the amounts required to be paid in the
Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.
3.5Computation of Interest and Fees.  Interest and fees hereunder shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days
elapsed.  If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the Revolving
Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans during such extension.
3.6Maximum Charges.  In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges
charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law.  In
the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise
exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law:  (i) the interest rates
hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law;
(ii) to the extent a payment has been made under such rate, such excess amount
shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Loan Parties; and
(iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid
principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Loan
Parties and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such
permissible rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or in any Other Document, all agreements which either now are or

85

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

which shall become agreements among Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders are hereby
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the total liability
for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges
exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws.  If any
payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made
under this Agreement or any Other Document are held to be in excess of the
limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, it is agreed that any such amount
held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal hereunder or
thereunder, and the indebtedness evidenced hereby or thereby shall be reduced by
such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest,
additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits
imposed by any applicable usury laws, in compliance with the desires of Loan
Parties and Agent.  In addition, unless preempted by federal law, the Revolving
Interest Rate or Default Rate, as applicable, from time to time in effect
hereunder may not exceed the “weekly ceiling” from time to time in effect under
Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended from time to time.  The
foregoing provisions shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every
other provision of this Agreement or any Other Document and all agreements among
Loan Parties and Agent and Lenders, or their respective successors and assigns.
 If the applicable state or federal law is amended in the future to allow a
greater rate of interest to be charged under this Agreement than is presently
allowed by applicable state or federal law, then the limitation of interest
hereunder shall be increased to the maximum rate of interest allowed by
applicable state or federal law as amended, which increase shall be effective
hereunder on the effective date of such amendment, and all interest charges
owing to Lender by reason thereof accruing on and after the date hereof shall be
payable in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement.  If by operation of
this provision, Loan Parties would be entitled to a refund of interest paid
pursuant to this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it shall pay to Loan Parties
upon Agent’s request such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such
interest to be refunded, as determined by Agent.

3.7Increased Costs.  In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law
or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender”
shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any corporation
or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the
office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so
defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
financial, monetary or other authority, shall:
(a)subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or 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 Rate Loan, or change the basis
of taxation of payments to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in
respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section
3.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax
payable by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or the Issuer);
(b)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment,
special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans
by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer
or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System; or

86

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer or the London
interbank LIBOR market any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes)
affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any
Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing
Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making, converting to, continuing, renewing
or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan
Lender, such Lender or Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of
any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of
the Advances by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer
deems to be material, then, in any case Loan Parties shall (without duplication
of any obligation of Loan Parties under Section 3.10 hereof) promptly pay Agent,
Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer, upon its demand, such additional
amount as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for
such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that (i)
the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the
LIBOR Rate, as the case may be and (ii) Loan Parties shall not be required to
compensate Agent or any Lender for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be (unless the event giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions is retroactive, then the one hundred eighty (180) day period
referred to above shall be extended to the period of retroactive effect thereof)
notified Loan Parties of the change or compliance giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions and of Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor.  Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall
certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent,
and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  For the
avoidance of doubt, Loan Parties shall have no obligation to pay to any Lender
amounts such Lender may incur or owe as a result of Excluded Taxes.

3.8Alternate Rate of Interest. 3.8.1Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.  In the
event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:
(a)reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable
pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or
(b)Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not
available in the London interbank LIBOR market, with respect to an outstanding
LIBOR Rate Loan, a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a
Domestic Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan; or
(c)the making, maintenance or funding of any LIBOR Rate Loan has been made
impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Agent or such Lender in good faith
with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any
Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such Governmental
Authority (whether or not having the force of law); or
(d)the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender
of the establishment or maintenance of any LIBOR Rate Loan,

87

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of
such determination.  If such notice is given prior to a Benchmark Replacement
Date (as defined below), (i) any such requested LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as
a Domestic Rate Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than
1:00 p.m. New York time, two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such
proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or
made as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or
LIBOR Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of LIBOR
Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if
Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. New York time, two
(2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an
unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected LIBOR
Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent
shall notify Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. New York time, two (2) Business Days
prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to
such affected LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of
LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period
for such affected LIBOR Rate Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to
lawfully maintain such affected LIBOR Rate Loan).  Until such notice has been
withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of LIBOR
Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans and no Loan Party
shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of
LIBOR Rate Loan into an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan.

3.8.2.Successor LIBOR Rate Index.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other Document, if
the Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Event
has occurred, the Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace
the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement, and any such amendment will become
effective at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after
the Agent has provided such proposed amendment to all Lenders, so long as the
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such
amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Until the Benchmark
Replacement is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a LIBOR Rate
Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBOR Rate; provided
however, during a Benchmark Unavailability Period (i) any pending selection of,
conversion to or renewal of a LIBOR Rate Loan that has not yet gone into effect
shall be deemed to be a selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate
with respect to such Loan, (ii) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall
automatically be converted to a Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate at the
expiration of the existing Interest Period (or sooner, if Agent cannot continue
to lawfully maintain such affected Loan at the LIBOR Rate) and (iii) the
component of the Base Rate based upon the LIBOR Rate will not be used in any
determination of the Base Rate.  

(b)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent
will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time
to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Other
Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other
party to this Agreement. 

(c)The Agent will promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and the Lenders of (i) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iii) the commencement of any
Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that
may be made by the Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this Section 3.8.2 including
any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
occurrence or non-

88

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain
from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and
may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other
party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this
Section 3.8.2.

(d)As used in this Section 3.8:

 “Benchmark Replacement” means the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that
has been selected by the Agent and the Borrowing Agent giving due consideration
to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism
for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any
evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest
as a replacement to the LIBOR Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities
and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if at any time the
Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than the Benchmark
Replacement Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Benchmark
Replacement Floor for the purposes of this Agreement.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the
LIBOR Rate with an alternate benchmark rate for each applicable Interest Period,
the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread
adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been
selected by the Agent and the Borrowing Agent (a) giving due consideration to
(i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for
calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the
LIBOR Rate with the applicable  Benchmark Replacement (excluding such spread
adjustment) by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or
then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method
for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for such replacement of
the LIBOR Rate for U.S. dollar-denominated credit facilities at such time and
(b) which may also reflect adjustments to account for (i) the effects of the
transition from the LIBOR Rate to the Benchmark Replacement and (ii) yield- or
risk-based differences between the LIBOR Rate and the Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark
Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including
changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Interest Period,”
timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and
other administrative matters) that the Agent decides may be appropriate to
reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to
permit the administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially
consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent decides that adoption of any
portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Agent
determines that no market practice for the administration of the Benchmark
Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent decides
is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this
Agreement).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earlier to occur of the following events
with respect to the LIBOR Rate:

89

therein.

“Benchmark Replacement Floor” means the minimum rate of interest, if any,
specified for the LIBOR Rate or, if no minimum rate of interest is specified,
zero.

“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the
following events with respect to the LIBOR Rate:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the
administrator of the LIBOR Rate announcing that such administrator has ceased or
will cease to provide the LIBOR Rate, permanently or indefinitely, provided
that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor
administrator that will continue to provide the LIBOR Rate;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by a Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over the Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the
administrator of the LIBOR Rate, the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency
official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the LIBOR Rate, a
resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the LIBOR Rate
or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the
administrator for the LIBOR Rate, which states that the administrator of the
LIBOR Rate has ceased or will cease to provide the LIBOR Rate permanently or
indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there
is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the LIBOR Rate; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory
supervisor for the administrator of the LIBOR Rate or a Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over the Agent announcing that the LIBOR Rate is no longer
representative.

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its
related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the LIBOR Rate
and solely to the extent that the LIBOR Rate has not been replaced with a
Benchmark Replacement, the period (x) beginning at the time that such Benchmark
Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has
replaced the LIBOR Rate for all purposes hereunder in accordance with Section
3.8 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the
LIBOR Rate for all purposes hereunder pursuant to Section 3.8.

“Early Opt-in Event” means a determination by the Agent that U.S.
dollar-denominated credit facilities being executed at such time, or that
include language similar to that contained in this Section 3.8, are being
executed or amended, as applicable, to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark
interest rate to replace the LIBOR Rate.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the
Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any
successor thereto.

3.9Capital Adequacy.
(a)In the event that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender shall have
determined that any Applicable Law or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or
any Change in Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof
by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent, Swing Loan
Lender, Issuer or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term
“Lender” shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender and any
corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender and the
office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender (as so defined)
makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender’s capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder (including the making of any Swing
Loans) to a level below that which Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender could
have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration Agent’s, Swing Loan Lender’s and each Lender’s policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Agent, Swing Loan Lender or
any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Loan Parties shall pay upon
demand to Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender for such
reduction.  In determining such amount or amounts, Agent, Swing Loan Lender or
such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods.  The
protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to Agent, Swing Loan Lender
and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or
inapplicability with respect to the Applicable Law, rule, regulation, guideline
or condition.
(b)A certificate of Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender setting forth such
amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender
or such Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowing
Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
3.10Taxes.
(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under
any Other Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required under Applicable Law.  If a
Withholding Agent shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from
such payments, then (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum
payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required
deductions (including deductions of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section) Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender
or Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made and (ii) the Withholding Agent shall
make such deductions and shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

91

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.10(a) above, Loan Parties shall
timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance
with Applicable Law.
(c)Each Loan Party shall jointly and severally indemnify Agent, Swing Loan
Lender, each Lender, and Issuer, within twenty (20) 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 Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such
Lender or 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; provided, however, any Loan Party shall
not be required to indemnify any Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender or Issuer
pursuant to this Section 3.10(c) for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes unless
such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender or Issuer makes written demand on the
applicable Loan Party for indemnification no later than 180 days after the
earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes
written demand upon such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender or Issuer, and (ii)
the date on which such Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender or Issuer has made
payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes.  A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to Loan Parties by any Lender,
Swing Loan Lender or Issuer (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender or Issuer, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, Loan Parties shall deliver to
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 Agent.
(e)Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Loan Party is
resident for tax purposes, or under any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a
party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any Other Document shall
deliver to Loan Parties (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed
by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Loan Parties or Agent, such
properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as
will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if requested by Loan Parties or Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or
reasonably requested by Loan Parties or Agent as will enable Loan Parties or
Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements, and as will enable the Borrower or the
Agent to comply with their own withholding or information reporting requirements
(including pursuant to FATCA or any analogous provisions of non-U.S. law).
 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Loan
Party is resident for tax purposes in the United States of America, each Lender
shall deliver to Loan Parties and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement:

92

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)to the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall
submit to Agent two (2) copies of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed
by Applicable Law demonstrating that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal
backup withholding tax.
(b)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to Borrowing Agent and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be
requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of Borrowing Agent or Agent), whichever of the following is
applicable:
(A)two (2) duly completed valid copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States of America is a party,
(B)two (2) duly completed valid copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,
(C)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
substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.10(e)-1 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 Loan Parties 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 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) two duly completed valid copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable,
(D)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies
of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
3.10(e)-2 or Exhibit 3.10(e)-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification
documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the
Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of
such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign
Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form
of Exhibit 3.10(e)-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, or
(E)any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption
from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
Applicable Law to permit Loan Parties to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made.
(f)If a payment made to a Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer, or Agent under this
Agreement or any Other Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax
imposed by FATCA if such Person fails to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b)
of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer, or Agent
shall deliver to Agent (in the case of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender or Issuer)
and Loan Parties at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by Loan Parties or Agent such documentation
prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section
1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and other documentation reasonably requested by
Agent or any Loan Party sufficient for Agent and Loan Parties to comply with
their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Swing Loan Lender, such
Lender,

93

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Issuer, or Agent has complied with such applicable reporting requirements under
FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
 Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer, or Agent agrees that if any form or
certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate
in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify
Loan Parties and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that
it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified
pursuant to this Section 3.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under
this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such
indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over
pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such
indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in
no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would
place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or
additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph
shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its
Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)To the extent not provided pursuant to Section 3.10(e), (i) if Agent is a
“United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code,
then it shall, on or prior to the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of a
successor Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes Agent hereunder),
provide Loan Parties with a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS
Form W-9 confirming that Agent is exempt from U.S. federal back-up withholding
and (ii)if Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the date of this
Agreement (or, in the case of a successor Agent, on or before the date on which
it becomes Agent hereunder), provide Loan Parties with, (i) with respect to
payments made to Agent for its own account, a properly completed and duly
executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), and (ii) with
respect to payments made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, a properly completed
and duly executed IRS Form W-8IMY confirming that Agent agrees to be treated as
a “United States person” for U.S. federal withholding Tax purposes.
(i)For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and
after the effective date of this Agreement, Loan Parties and Agent shall treat
(and the Lenders, Swing Loan Lender and Issuer hereby authorize Agent to treat)
this Agreement as not

94

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
3.11Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) makes
demand upon Loan Parties for (or if Loan Parties are otherwise required to pay)
amounts pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10 hereof, (b) is unable to make or
maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(h)
hereof, (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent requested by Agent
pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, Borrowing Agent may, within ninety (90) days
of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing
Loan Parties to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(h)
hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or such
approval, as the case may be, by notice in writing to Agent and such Affected
Lender (i) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with Loan Parties in
obtaining a replacement Lender satisfactory to Agent and Loan Parties (the
“Replacement Lender”); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and
assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its Revolving Commitment
Percentage as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any
obligation to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to approval
by Agent in its good faith business judgment.  If any satisfactory Replacement
Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders
shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its
Revolving Commitment Percentage, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in
accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its Advances and its Revolving
Commitment Percentage and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the Other Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Affected Lenders, as the
case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all
interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations
then due and payable to the Affected Lender.
Article IVCOLLATERAL:  GENERAL TERMS
4.1Security Interest in the Collateral.  To secure the prompt payment and
performance to Agent, Issuer and each Lender (and each other holder of any
Obligations) of the Obligations, each Loan Party hereby assigns, pledges and
grants to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of each Lender,
Issuer and each other holder of any Obligations, a continuing security interest
in and to and Lien on all of its Collateral, whether now owned or existing or
hereafter created, acquired or arising and wherever located.  Each Loan Party
shall mark its books and records as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence,
protect and perfect Agent’s security interest and shall cause its financial
statements to reflect such security interest.  Each Loan Party shall provide
Agent with written notice of any individual commercial tort claim with a
reasonably estimated value of more than $2,500,000 promptly after the occurrence
of any events giving rise to any such claim(s) (regardless of whether legal
proceedings have yet been commenced), such notice to contain a brief description
of the claim(s), and the case title together with the applicable court and
docket number.  Upon delivery of each such notice, such Loan Party shall be
deemed to thereby grant to Agent a security interest and lien in and to such
commercial tort claims described therein and all proceeds thereof.  Each Loan
Party shall provide Agent with written notice promptly upon becoming the
beneficiary under any letter of credit or otherwise obtaining any right, title
or interest in any letter of credit rights, in either case with respect to any
letter of credit with a face amount in excess of $2,500,000, and at Agent’s
request

95

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agent’s security interest therein.

4.2Perfection of Security Interest.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement,

that Agent may request, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection,
enforceability and priority of Agent’s security interest in and Lien on the
Collateral or to enable Agent to protect, exercise or enforce its rights
hereunder and in the Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) promptly
discharging all Liens other than Permitted Liens upon demand by Agent or
promptly after obtaining knowledge of such Liens, (ii) obtaining Lien Waiver
Agreements required under this Agreement, (iii) delivering to Agent, endorsed or

other custodial arrangements satisfactory to Agent and (v) executing and
delivering financing statements, control agreements, instruments of pledge,
mortgages, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection,
maintenance or continuation of Agent’s security interest and Lien in any
Collateral under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law; provided
that Loan Parties shall not be required to cause Agent’s Lien to be noted on
certificates of title for any motor vehicles, trailers or other assets subject
to a certificate of title statute unless and until the Term Loan Agent’s Lien is
notated on any such certificate of title, in which case the Agent’s second
priority Lien shall also be notated on such certificate of title.  By its
signature hereto, each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file against such
Loan Party, one or more financing, continuation or amendment statements pursuant
to the Uniform Commercial Code in form and substance satisfactory to Agent
(which statements may have a description of collateral which is broader than
that set forth herein, including without limitation a description of Collateral
as “all assets” and/or “all personal property” of any Loan Party).  All charges,
expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local
taxes relating thereto, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving
Advance of a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations, or, at Agent’s
option, shall be paid by Loan Parties to Agent for its benefit and for the
ratable benefit of Lenders immediately upon demand.
4.3Preservation of Collateral.  Following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies set
forth in Section 11.1 hereof, Agent:  (a) may at any time take such steps as
Agent deems necessary to protect Agent’s interest in and to preserve the
Collateral, including the hiring of security guards or the placing of other
security protection measures as Agent may deem appropriate; (b) may employ and
maintain at any of any Loan Parties’ premises a custodian who shall have full
authority to do all acts necessary to protect Agent’s interests in the
Collateral; (c) may lease warehouse facilities to which Agent may move all or

egress to the places where the Collateral is located, and may proceed over and
through any Loan Parties’ owned or leased property.  Each Loan Party shall
cooperate fully with all of Agent’s efforts to preserve the Collateral and will
take such actions to preserve the Collateral as Agent may direct.  All of
Agent’s expenses of preserving the Collateral, including any expenses relating
to the bonding of a

96

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

custodian, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance
maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan and added to the Obligations.

4.4Ownership and Location of Collateral.
(a)With respect to the Collateral, at the time the Collateral becomes subject to
Agent’s security interest:  (i) each Loan Party shall be the sole owner of and
fully authorized and able to sell, transfer, pledge and/or grant a security
interest in each and every item of its respective Collateral to Agent (in the
case of ABL Facility Priority Collateral, such security interest shall be a
first priority security interest); and, except for Permitted Liens the
Collateral shall be free and clear of all Liens whatsoever; and (ii) each Loan
Party’s Eligible Parts Inventory, and any other Inventory having a value in
excess of $2,500,000, shall be located as set forth on Schedule 4.4 (or at any

9.18) and shall not be removed from such location(s) without the prior written
consent of Agent except with respect to the sale of Inventory in the Ordinary
Course of Business and the sale of equipment and other assets to the extent
permitted in Section 7.1 hereof and except for equipment and Inventory that is
removed from such location(s) for repair or in transit or located at a customer
site in the Ordinary Course of Business.
(b)(i) There is no location at which any Loan Party has any Inventory or other
Collateral (except for Inventory and equipment in transit, located at a customer
site or out for repair in the Ordinary Course of Business) other than those
locations listed on Schedule 4.4; (ii) Schedule 4.4 hereto contains a correct
and complete list, as of the Closing Date, of the legal names and addresses of
each warehouse at which any Eligible Parts Inventory, or any other Inventory of
any Loan Party having a value in excess of $2,500,000, is stored and each
warehousemen, bailee or other third party in possession of any Loan Party’s
Inventory or equipment; (iii) Schedule 4.4 hereto sets forth a correct and
complete list as of the Closing Date of (A) each place of business of each Loan

each Loan Party, identifying which properties are owned and which are leased,
together with the names and addresses of any landlords.
4.5Defense of Agent’s and Lenders’ Interests.  Until Payment in Full of the
Obligations, Agent’s interests in the Collateral shall continue in full force
and effect (unless otherwise released in accordance with this Agreement).
 During such period no Loan Party shall, without Agent’s prior written consent,
pledge, sell (except for sales or other dispositions otherwise permitted in
Section 7.1(b) hereof), assign, transfer, create or suffer to exist a Lien upon
or encumber or allow or suffer to be encumbered in any way except for Permitted
Liens, any part of the Collateral.  Each Loan Party shall defend Agent’s
interests in the Collateral against any and all Persons whatsoever.  At any time
following demand by Agent for payment of all Obligations during the continuance
of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to take possession of the
indicia of the Collateral and the Collateral in whatever physical form
contained, including:  labels, stationery, documents, instruments and
advertising materials.  If Agent exercises this right to take possession of the
Collateral, Loan Parties shall, upon demand, assemble it in the best manner
possible and make it available to Agent at a place reasonably convenient to
Agent.  In addition, with respect to all Collateral, Agent and Lenders shall be
entitled to all of the rights and remedies set forth herein and further provided
by the Uniform Commercial Code or other

97

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applicable Law.  When an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
Agent has exercised its right to take possession of the Collateral, Loan Parties
shall, and Agent may, at its option, instruct all suppliers, carriers,
forwarders, warehousers or others receiving or holding cash, checks, Inventory,
documents or instruments in which Agent holds a security interest to deliver
same to Agent and/or subject to Agent’s order and if they shall come into any
Loan Party’s possession, they, and each of them, shall be held by such Loan
Party in trust as Agent’s trustee, and such Loan Party will immediately deliver
them to Agent in their original form together with any necessary endorsement.

4.6Inspection of Premises.  At all reasonable times, Agent and each Lender shall
have full access to and the right to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts
and copies from each Loan Party’s books, records, audits, correspondence and all
other papers relating to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral and the operation
of each Loan Party’s business.  Agent and its agents may enter upon any premises
of any Loan Party at any time during business hours after providing reasonable
advance notice and at any other reasonable time after providing reasonable
advance notice, and from time to time, for the purpose of inspecting the
Collateral and any and all records pertaining thereto and the operation of such
Loan Party’s business.  Subject to the following sentence, Agent will conduct no
more than one field examination per year for up to three Borrowers at the Loan
Parties’ expense so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
provided however

(i) beginning on the first date of such year on which (A) the average RLOC
Utilization has been greater than twenty percent (20%) for the preceding thirty
(30) consecutive day period and (B) no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Agent will be permitted to conduct up to one field examination per
year per Borrower at the Loan Parties’ expense; provided, however, if (A) the
average RLOC Utilization is equal to or less than twenty percent (20%) for the
preceding sixty (60) consecutive day period and (B) no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, then no more than one field examination per year for
up to three Borrowers at the Loan Parties’ expense; and

(ii) beginning on the first date of such year an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Agent will be permitted to conduct unlimited field
examination per year at the Loan Parties’ expense.

Field examinations conducted in connection with a request that assets acquired
pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition be included in the Formula Amount, or a
request that assets of a Restricted Subsidiary joining this Agreement as a
Borrower after the Closing Date be included in the Formula Amount, shall be at
the expense of the Loan Parties and shall not be subject to the limitations set
forth in the preceding sentence.

4.7Appraisals.  Agent may, in its reasonable credit judgment exercised in good
faith, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, upon reasonable
notice to Borrowing Agent engage the services of an independent appraisal firm
or firms of reputable standing, satisfactory to Agent, for the purpose of
appraising the then current values of Loan Parties’ assets consisting of ABL
Facility Priority Collateral; provided that so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties shall only be responsible for the
costs and expenses of one appraisal during any twelve (12) month period.  Absent
the occurrence and

98

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

continuance of an Event of Default at such time, Agent shall consult with Loan
Parties as to the identity of any such firm.

4.8Receivables; Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.
(a)Each of the Receivables shall, except as noted therein, be a bona fide and
valid account representing a bona fide indebtedness incurred by the Customer
therein named, for a fixed sum (subject to customary discounts or reductions
permitted in the Ordinary Course of Business and in accordance with past
practices) as set forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or
unintentional invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with
respect to an absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of
a Loan Party, or work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Loan Party as
of the date each Receivable is created.  Same shall be due and owing in
accordance with the applicable Loan Party’s standard terms of sale without
dispute, setoff or counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts
receivable schedules delivered by Loan Parties to Agent.
(b)Each Customer, to the best of each Loan Party’s knowledge, as of the date
each Receivable is created, is and will be solvent and able to pay all
Receivables on which the Customer is obligated in full when due.  With respect
to such Customers of any Loan Party who are not solvent, such Loan Party has set
up on its books and in its financial records bad debt reserves adequate to cover
such Receivables.
(c)Each Loan Party’s chief executive office is located as set forth on Schedule
4.4.  Until written notice is given to Agent by Borrowing Agent of any other
office at which any Loan Party keeps its records pertaining to Receivables, all
such records shall be kept at such executive office or the executive office of
Holdings.
(d)Until Loan Parties’ authority to do so is terminated by Agent (which notice
Agent may give at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default or during any Trigger Period if Agent in its sole credit
judgment exercised in good faith deems it to be in Lenders’ best interest to do
so), Loan Parties will, at Loan Parties’ sole cost and expense, but on Agent’s
behalf and for Agent’s account, collect as Agent’s property and in trust for
Agent all amounts received on Receivables, and shall not commingle such
collections with any Loan Parties’ funds or use the same except to pay
Obligations.  Loan Parties shall deposit in the Blocked Account or, upon request
by Agent, deliver to Agent, in original form and on the date of receipt thereof,
all checks, drafts, notes, money orders, acceptances, cash and other evidences
of Indebtedness.
(e)At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default or a Default, Agent shall have the right to send notice of the
assignment of, and Agent’s security interest in and Lien on, the Receivables to
any and all Customers or any third party holding or otherwise concerned with any
of the Collateral.  Thereafter, Agent shall have the sole right to collect the
Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or both.  Agent’s actual
collection expenses, including, but not limited to, stationery and postage,
telephone, facsimile, telegraph, secretarial and clerical expenses and the
salaries of any collection personnel used for collection, may be charged to
Borrowers’ Account and added to the Obligations.

99

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(f)During the continuance of any Event of Default (except to the extent
otherwise agreed in any treasury management agreement entered into between Agent
and any Loan Party), Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign
and/or deliver in the name of Agent or any Loan Party any and all checks, drafts
and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, and
each Loan Party hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and non-payment of
any instrument so endorsed.  Each Loan Party hereby constitutes Agent or Agent’s
designee as such Loan Party’s attorney with power:  (i) (A) to endorse such Loan
Party’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other
evidences of payment or Collateral during the continuance of any Event of
Default; (B) to sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or bill of lading
relating to any of the Receivables, drafts against Customers, assignments and
verifications of Receivables during the continuance of any Event of Default; (C)
to send verifications of Receivables to any Customer (provided that, so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall only conduct
verifications of Receivables over the phone with participation from Borrowers or
with Borrowers being present); (D) to sign such Loan Party’s name on all
documents or instruments reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to

Agent shall apply all funds received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or
Depository Accounts to the satisfaction of the Obligations (including the cash
collateralization of the Letters of Credit, if an event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or such cash collateralization is otherwise required
hereunder) in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion,
provided that, in the absence of any Event of Default (during the continuance of
which Section 11.5 hereof shall apply), Agent shall apply all such funds
representing collection of Receivables first to the prepayment of the principal
amount of the Swing Loans, if any, and then to the Revolving Advances.  At all
times other than during a Trigger Period, Agent shall remit all funds received
by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to Borrower’s
operating account at PNC.
(i)No Loan Party will, without Agent’s consent, compromise or adjust any
material amount of the Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or
accept any material returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts,
allowances or credits thereon except for those compromises, adjustments,
returns, discounts, credits and allowances as have been heretofore customary in
the Ordinary Course of Business of such Loan Party.
(j)All deposit accounts (including all Blocked Accounts and Depository
Accounts), securities accounts and investment accounts of each Loan Party and
its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date are set forth on Schedule 4.8(j).  No
Loan Party shall open any new deposit account, securities account or investment
account except in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 7.20
hereof.
4.9Inventory.  To the extent Inventory held for sale or lease has been produced
by any Loan Party, it has been and will be produced by such Loan Party in all
material respects in accordance with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act of

constitute Agent or any Lender as any Loan Party’s agent for any purpose
whatsoever, nor shall Agent or any Lender be responsible or liable for any
shortage, discrepancy, damage, loss or destruction of any part of the Collateral
wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof unless and
until Agent or any Lender takes possession and/or control of the Collateral and
except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent as determined
by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment
or otherwise, assume any of any Loan Party’s obligations under any contract or
agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender
shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Loan Party of any of
the terms and conditions thereof.

by Agent, “precautionary” financing statements, and financing statements filed
in connection with Permitted Liens, no Loan Party is aware of any financing
statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof being on file
in any public office as of the Closing Date.
4.13Designation of Term Loan Real Property Collateral as Collateral.  Subject to
the Intercreditor Agreement, Agent, at its option by written notice to Borrowing
Agent, may designate all or any portion of the Term Loan Real Property

to which it is a party (a) are within such Loan Party’s corporate or company
powers, as applicable, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or
company action, as applicable, are not in contravention of law, except to the

affecting creditors’ rights generally, general principles of equity, principles

policies by the renewal thereof before any expiration date, and (B) appropriate
loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, naming
Agent as an additional insured and mortgagee (if applicable), and lender loss
payee (as applicable and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) as its
interests may appear with respect to all insurance coverage referred to in
clauses (i), and (iii) above, and providing (I) that all proceeds thereunder
shall be payable to Agent, (II) no such insurance shall be affected by any act
or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such policy, and
(III) that such policy and loss payable clauses

110

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

may not be cancelled, amended or terminated unless at least thirty (30) days
prior written notice is given to Agent (or in the case of non-payment, at least
ten (10) days prior written notice).  In the event of any loss thereunder, the
carriers named therein hereby are directed by Agent and the applicable Loan
Party to make payment for such loss to Agent and not to such Loan Party and
Agent jointly.  If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or other
instrument payable to any Loan Party and Agent jointly, Agent may endorse such
Loan Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable
to reduce the same to cash.  If any such payment for such loss is made to a Loan
Party and not Agent, such Loan Party shall turnover payment to Agent.
(b)Each Loan Party shall take all actions required under the Flood Laws and/or
requested by Agent to assist in ensuring that each Lender is in compliance with
the Flood Laws applicable to the Collateral, including, but not limited to,
providing Agent with the address and/or GPS coordinates of each structure on any
real property that will be subject to a mortgage in favor of Agent, for the
benefit of Lenders, and, to the extent required, obtaining flood insurance for
such property, structures and contents prior to such property, structures and
contents becoming Collateral, and thereafter maintaining such flood insurance in
full force and effect for so long as required by the Flood Laws.
(c)While no Event of Default exists, the Loan Parties may adjust and compromise
claims under insurance coverage referred to in this Section 6.6 relating to ABL
Facility Priority Collateral and any recoveries in respect of ABL Facility
Priority Collateral during any Trigger Period shall be paid to Agent.  At any
time while an Event of Default exists, Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and
compromise claims under such insurance coverage.  All loss recoveries received
by Agent under any such insurance may be applied to the Obligations, in such
order as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine.  Any surplus shall be
paid by Agent to Loan Parties or applied as may be otherwise required by law.
 Any deficiency thereon shall be paid by Loan Parties to Agent, on demand.  If
any Loan Party fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove provided, or to keep the
same in force, Agent, if Agent so elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the
premium therefor on behalf of such Loan Party, which payments shall be charged
to Borrowers’ Account and constitute part of the Obligations.
6.7[Reserved].  
6.8Environmental Matters.
(a)Use commercially reasonably efforts to ensure that the Real Property are in
compliance and remain in compliance with all Environmental Laws (unless such
failure to comply could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect) and it shall manage any and all Hazardous Materials on any Real Property
in compliance with Environmental Laws (unless such failure to comply could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except as permitted
by appropriate Governmental Authority).
(b)[Reserved].
(c)Respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint that
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and take all
necessary action in order to safeguard the health of any Person with respect to
any such Hazardous

111

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discharge or Environmental Complaint to the extent required under applicable
Environmental Law and to avoid subjecting the Collateral to any Lien as a result
thereof.  If any Loan Party shall fail to respond promptly to any Hazardous
Discharge or Environmental Complaint or any Loan Party shall fail to comply with
any of the requirements of any Environmental Laws, Agent on behalf of Lenders
may, but without the obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of protecting
Agent’s interest in the Collateral:  (i) give such notices or (ii) enter onto
the Real Property (or authorize third parties to enter onto the Real Property)
and take such actions as Agent (or such third parties as directed by Agent) deem
reasonably necessary or advisable, to remediate, remove, mitigate or otherwise
manage any such Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint.  All reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders (or such third parties) in the
exercise of any such rights, including any sums paid in connection with any
judicial or administrative investigation or proceedings, fines and penalties,
together with interest thereon from the date expended at the Default Rate for
Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances shall be paid upon demand by
Loan Parties, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the
Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of this Agreement or any
other agreement between Agent, any Lender and any Loan Party.
(d)Following the grant of any Lien in any Real Property by a Loan Party in favor
of Agent as security for the Obligations, promptly upon the written request of
Agent from time to time, provided Agent has a reasonable basis to believe that a
Hazardous Discharge has occurred on the Real Property or Agent is required by
its internal policies to make such requests, Loan Parties shall provide Agent,
at Loan Parties’ expense, with an environmental site assessment or environmental
compliance audit report prepared by an environmental engineering firm acceptable
in the reasonable opinion of Agent, to assess with a reasonable degree of
certainty the existence of a Hazardous Discharge and the potential costs in
connection with abatement, remediation and removal of any Hazardous Materials
found on, under, at or within the Real Property.  Any report or investigation of
such Hazardous Discharge proposed and acceptable to the responsible Governmental
Authority shall be acceptable to Agent.  If such estimates, individually or in
the aggregate, exceed $2,500,000, Agent shall have the right to require Loan
Parties to post a bond, letter of credit or other security reasonably
satisfactory to Agent to secure payment of these costs and expenses.
6.9Certificate of Beneficial Ownership and Other Additional Information.
 Provide to Agent and the Lenders, as applicable: (i) upon the reasonable
request of Agent or any Lender from time to time, confirmation of the accuracy
of the information set forth in the most recent Certificate of Beneficial
Ownership provided to the Agent and Lenders; (ii) a new Certificate of
Beneficial Ownership within two (2) Business Days after the individual(s) to be
identified as a Beneficial Owner have changed; and (iii) such other information
and documentation as may reasonably be requested by Agent or any Lender from
time to time for purposes of compliance by Agent or such Lender with applicable
laws (including without limitation the USA Patriot Act and other “know your
customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations), and any policy or
procedure implemented by Agent or such Lender to comply therewith.
6.10[Reserved].

6.11Execution of Supplemental Instruments.  Execute and deliver to Agent from
time to time, within five (5) Business Days of demand, such supplemental
agreements, statements, assignments and transfers, or instructions or documents
relating to the Collateral, as Agent may reasonably request, in order that the
full intent of this Agreement may be carried into effect.
6.12[Reserved].
6.13Government Receivables.  Take all steps necessary to protect Agent’s
interest in the Collateral that Loan Parties desire to be Eligible Receivables
under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act, the Uniform Commercial Code and all
other applicable state or local statutes or ordinances and deliver to Agent
appropriately endorsed, any instrument or chattel paper connected with any
Receivable arising out of any contract between any Loan Party and the United
States, any state or any department, agency or instrumentality of any of them
that is connected with any Receivable that Loan Parties desire to be Eligible
Receivables.
6.14Additional Loan Parties and Collateral.  
(a)Upon (i) the formation or acquisition after the Closing Date of any
Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary (including any Restricted
Subsidiary resulting from a Division (whether or not permitted hereunder)), (ii)
the designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary as
a Restricted Subsidiary, (iii) any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Domestic
Subsidiary ceasing to be an Immaterial Subsidiary or (iv) any Restricted

during the first three Fiscal Quarters of any Fiscal Year, on or before the date
on which financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section
9.8 for the Fiscal Quarter in which the relevant formation, acquisition,
designation or cessation occurred or (y) if the event giving rise to the
obligation under this Section 6.14(a) occurs during the fourth Fiscal Quarter of
any Fiscal Year, on or before the date that is 45 days after the end of such
Fiscal Quarter (or, in the cases of clauses (x) and (y), such longer period as
the Agent may reasonably agree), Holdings shall (A) cause such Restricted
Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) to join this agreement as a
joint and several Borrower or as a Subsidiary Guarantor by executing a joinder
in the form attached as Exhibit 6.14(a) hereto (and, if a Subsidiary Guarantor,

exhibit thereto), (B) cause such Restricted Subsidiary to deliver a completed
Perfection Certificate Supplement and execute a joinder to the Pledge Agreement,
(C) cause such Restricted Subsidiary to authorize or deliver Uniform Commercial

pursuant to this Agreement, and (F) upon the reasonable request of the Agent,
cause the relevant Restricted Subsidiary to deliver to the Agent a signed copy
of a customary opinion of counsel for such Restricted Subsidiary, addressed to
the Agent and the Lenders.  For the avoidance of doubt, no assets of any
Restricted Subsidiary that joins this Agreement as a Borrower after the Closing
Date shall be included in the Formula Amount until Agent has received a field
examination and/or Appraisal of such assets, at the Loan Parties’ expense, in
form and substance acceptable to Agent in its Permitted Discretion.

Document, it is understood that:
(a)the Agent (A) may grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of
security interests in, or obtaining of legal opinions or other deliverables with
respect to, particular assets or the provision of any Loan Guaranty by any
Restricted Subsidiary (in connection with assets acquired, or Restricted
Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the Closing Date), and (B) with respect
to any such extension relating solely to Term Loan Priority Collateral, shall
grant any such extension that have been granted by the Term Loan Agent, and each
Lender hereby consents to any such extension of time,
(b)any Lien required to be granted from time to time pursuant to clause (a)
above shall be subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth in this
Agreement and the Other Documents,
(c)no Loan Party will be required to (A) take any action outside of the U.S. in

vehicle or other asset subject to a certificate of title, (2) the Equity
Interests of any Immaterial Subsidiary and/or (3) the Equity Interests of any
Person that is not a subsidiary, which Person, if a subsidiary, would constitute
an Immaterial Subsidiary, in each case except to the extent that a security
interest therein can be perfected by filing a Form UCC-1 (or similar) financing
statement under the UCC,
(f)no action shall be required to perfect a Lien in any asset in respect of
which the perfection of a security interest therein would (1) be prohibited by
enforceable anti-assignment provisions set forth in any contract that is
permitted or otherwise not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, (2)
violate the terms of any contract relating to such asset that is permitted or
otherwise not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or (3) trigger
termination of any contract relating to such asset that is permitted or

adverse tax consequences to any Loan Party as reasonably determined by Holdings
and specified in a written notice to the Agent,
(h)any joinder or supplement to this Agreement or any Other Document executed by
any Restricted Subsidiary that is required to become a Loan Party pursuant to
Section 6.14(a) above may, with the consent of the Agent (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), include such schedules (or updates to schedules) as may be
necessary to qualify any representation

114

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or warranty set forth in this Agreement or any Other Document to the extent
necessary to ensure that such representation or warranty is true and correct to
the extent required thereby or by the terms of this Agreement or any Other
Document, and
(i)the Agent shall not require the taking of a Lien on, or require the
perfection of any Lien granted in, those assets as to which the cost of
obtaining or perfecting such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or
other tax or expenses relating to such Lien) is excessive in relation to the
benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby as reasonably determined
by Holdings and the Agent with respect to any ABL Facility Priority Collateral
or as reasonably redetermined by Holdings and the Term Loan Agent with respect
to any Term Loan Priority Collateral.
6.15Keepwell.  If it is a Qualified ECP Loan Party, then jointly and severally,
together with each other Qualified ECP Loan Party, hereby absolutely
unconditionally and irrevocably (a) guarantees the prompt payment and
performance of all Swap Obligations owing by each Non-Qualifying Party (it being
understood and agreed that this guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection), and (b) undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be
needed from time to time by any Non-Qualifying Party to honor all of such
Non-Qualifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document in
respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Loan
Party shall only be liable under this Section 6.15 for the maximum amount of
such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations
under this Section 6.15, or otherwise under this Agreement or any Other
Document, voidable under applicable law, including applicable law relating to
fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).
 The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 6.15 shall
remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Obligations.  Each
Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 6.15 constitute, and this
Section 6.15 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of,

Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.
6.16[Reserved].  
6.17Designation of Subsidiaries.  Loan Parties may at any time after the Closing

have occurred and be continuing (including after giving effect to the
reclassification of Investments in, Indebtedness of and Liens on the assets of,
the applicable Restricted Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary), (ii) Loan
Parties shall be in compliance with Section 6.5 calculated on a Pro Forma Basis
as of the last day of the most recently ended test period immediately prior to
giving effect to the relevant designation, (iii) no subsidiary may be designated
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” for purposes of
the Term Loan Agreement and (iv) as of the date of designation thereof, no
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall own any Equity Interests in any Restricted
Subsidiary of any Loan Party.  The designation of any subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the applicable Loan
Party therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the portion of
the fair market value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary
attributable to the Loan Party’s equity interest therein (whether direct or
indirect) as reasonably estimated by the Loan Parties (and such

115

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

designation shall only be permitted to the extent such Investment is permitted
under Section 7.3).  The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the making, incurrence or granting as
applicable, at the time of designation of any then-existing Investment,
Indebtedness or Lien of such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable; provided that
upon any re-designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted
Subsidiary, the applicable Loan Party shall be deemed to continue to have an
Investment in the resulting Restricted Subsidiary in an amount (if positive)
equal to (a) such Loan Party’s “Investment” in such subsidiary as calculated at
the time re-designated as a Restricted Subsidiary, less (b) the portion of the
fair market value of the net assets of such Restricted Subsidiary attributable
to such Loan Party’s equity therein (whether direct or indirect) as reasonably
estimated by Loan Parties at the time of such re-designation; provided, further
that no designations shall be permitted under this Section unless the Specified
Conditions are satisfied.

6.18Amendments to Organizational Documents.  Each Loan Party shall give prompt
(and, in any event, within 15 days of the relevant change) written notice of any
of the following: (i) any change in its legal name, (ii) any change in its form
of legal entity (e.g., converting from a corporation to a limited liability
company or vice versa), and (iii) any change in its jurisdiction of organization
or its becoming (or attempting or purporting to become) organized in more than
one jurisdiction, in each case to the extent such information is necessary to
enable the Agent to perfect or maintain the perfection and priority of its
security interest in the Collateral of the relevant Loan Party.

given date or period, such representation and warranty shall be true and correct
in all material respects as of the respective date or for the respective period,
as the case may be and (B) if any Specified Representation is  qualified by or

Specified Representation on, or as of, the Closing Date (or any date prior
thereto) and (2) such Specified Representation shall be true and correct in all
respects; and

hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the

by the delivery of a stock or equivalent certificate (together with a stock
power or similar instrument endorsed in blank for the relevant certificate)), in
each case after the Borrowing Agent’s use of commercially reasonable efforts to

 The Loan Parties hereby agree that it will use commercially reasonable efforts
to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to
the Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and
conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word

shall be treated as set forth in Section 16.15); (y) all Borrower Materials
marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the

9.8 will, in each case, be deemed to be “public-side” Borrower Materials and may
be made available to Public Lenders; provided, however, that to the extent the
Borrower believes in good faith that any Compliance Certificate (excluding any
annual budget) contains MNPI, and the Loan Parties so advise Agent in writing at
the time of delivery of such Compliance Certificate, such Compliance Certificate
shall not be deemed to be “public-side” Borrower Materials, but the Loan Parties
shall promptly provide Agent with a version of such Compliance Certificate that
redacts any portions thereof that contain MNPI so that such redacted version may
be “public-side” Borrower Material.

process.  Agent may enter any of any Loan Party’s premises or other premises
without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party
therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion
without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place
as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the
Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place.  With or without having the
Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any
part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more
sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or
future delivery, as Agent may elect.  Except as to that part of the Collateral
which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Loan Parties
reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all
events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to
such sale or sales is reasonable notification.  At any public sale Agent or any
Lender may bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and Agent,
any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the
Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind,
including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are
hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party.  In connection with the
exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, Agent is
granted a perpetual non-revocable, royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent
is granted permission to use all of each Loan Party’s (a) Intellectual Property
which is used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of
marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such
Inventory and (b) equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of
unfinished goods.  The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral
shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5
hereof.  Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are
converted into cash.  If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain
liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.
(b)To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise

151

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Loan Party acknowledges and
agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent:  (i) to fail to incur
expenses reasonably deemed significant by 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; (ii) 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 be collected
or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers
or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse
claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use
of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other
Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions
of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire
one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) 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; (ix) to dispose of assets
in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties,
such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or
credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the
collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed
appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment
bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection
or disposition of any of the Collateral.  Each Loan Party acknowledges that the
purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what
actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent’s
exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions
by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not
being indicated in this Section 11.1(b).  Without limitation upon the foregoing,
nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights
to any Loan Party 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 11.1(b).
(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.5 or Section
10.5, in the event that Loan Parties fail to comply with any of the financial
covenants set forth in Section 6.5 (the “Financial Covenants”), then until the
date on which the Compliance Certificate in respect of the applicable fiscal
quarter is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.8, any existing owner
or owners of the Equity Interests of any Loan Party or any other Person in
connection with any public offering of Equity Interests, may (i) purchase or
irrevocably commit to purchase Equity Interests of Holdings for cash and (ii)
make payment for such Equity Interests within thirty (30) Business Days of such
commitment; provided, that Holdings shall, if it elects to exercise its rights
under this clause (c), promptly upon receipt of such payment contribute 100% of
such payment to the capital of Loan Parties (collectively, the “Cure Right”),
and upon the receipt by Loan Parties of such cash (the “Specified Equity
Contribution” and the amount of such Specified Equity Contribution, the “Cure
Amount”) pursuant to the exercise of such Cure Right, the applicable Financial
Covenant(s) shall be recalculated giving effect to the Specified Equity
Contribution (for example, any expenditure in violation of a covenant shall be
deemed to have

152

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

been made with the Specified Equity Contribution and therefore permitted).  If,
after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, Loan Parties shall then be
in compliance with the requirements of all Financial Covenants, Loan Parties
shall be deemed to have complied with the Financial Covenants as of the relevant
date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure
to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the
Financial Covenants that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of
this Agreement.  No more than five (5) Specified Equity Contributions shall be
allowed during the term of this Agreement and there must be at least two fiscal
quarters in each four fiscal quarter period in which there is no Specified
Equity Contribution.

For purposes of recalculating the Financial Covenants with respect to a Cure
Amount (i) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA shall be increased by an amount equal to
the Cure Amount with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter and any
calculation period that contains such fiscal quarter for the purpose of
calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio; (ii) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
shall be increased by an amount equal to the Cure Amount with respect to the
applicable fiscal quarter (and only such applicable fiscal quarter) for the
purpose of calculating the Funded Debt to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Ratio;
and (iii) Indebtedness shall be decreased for purposes of determining compliance
solely to the extent proceeds of the Cure Amount are actually applied to prepay
any Indebtedness and in no event shall any reduction be given effect during the
fiscal quarter with regard to which the Cure Right is exercised.  For the
avoidance of doubt, amounts applied as a “Cure Amount” under and as defined in
the Term Loan Agreement shall also be permitted to be applied as a Cure Amount
hereunder.

11.2Agent’s Discretion.  Subject to the rights of the Lenders under this
Agreement and the Other Documents, Agent shall have the right in its sole
discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies
Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify, which
procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action to
take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto and
such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or
Lenders’ rights hereunder as against Loan Parties or each other.
11.3Setoff.  Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which
Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender
shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any
Loan Party’s property held by Agent and such Lender or any of their Affiliates
to reduce the Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may
be available to Agent and such Lender with respect to any deposits held by Agent
or such Lender.
11.4Rights and Remedies not Exclusive.  The enumeration of the foregoing rights
and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or
remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided
for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and
not alternative.
11.5Allocation of Payments After Event of Default.  Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by
Agent on account of the Obligations (including without limitation any amounts on
account of any of Cash

153

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Management Liabilities or Hedge Liabilities), or in respect of the Collateral
may, at Agent’s discretion, be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Agent in connection with enforcing its
rights and the rights of Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents,
and any Out-of-Formula Loans and Protective Advances funded by Agent with
respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders to the extent
owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued interest
on account of the Swing Loans;

FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations
consisting of Swing Loans;

SIXTH, to the payment of all Obligations arising under this Agreement and the
Other Documents consisting of accrued fees and interest (other than interest in
respect of Swing Loans paid pursuant to clause FOURTH above);

SEVENTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations
(other than principal in respect of Swing Loans paid pursuant to clause FIFTH
above) arising under this Agreement (including Cash Management Liabilities and
Hedge Liabilities and the payment or cash collateralization of any outstanding
Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.2(b) hereof);

EIGHTH, to all other Obligations arising under this Agreement (other than Cash
Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities) which shall have become due and
payable (hereunder, under the Other Documents or otherwise) and not repaid
pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “SEVENTH” above;

NINTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due and payable and not
repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST through “EIGHTH”; and

TENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders or its Affiliates, as applicable,
shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its
pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Advances, Cash
Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities held by such Lender bears to the
aggregate then outstanding Advances, Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge
Liabilities) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “SIXTH”,
“SEVENTH”, “EIGHTH” and “NINTH”

154

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

above; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.5,
no Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts
received from such Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty (including sums
received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty)
or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party’s Collateral if such Swap
Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities, provided, however, that
to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to
payments and/or the proceeds of Collateral from other Loan Parties that are
Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve
the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 11.5;
and (iv) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to
clause “SEVENTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of
outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by Agent as cash
collateral for the Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof and
applied (A) first, to reimburse Issuer from time to time for any drawings under
such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of
Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses “SEVENTH,”
“EIGHTH” and “NINTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 11.5

Article XIIWAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.
12.1Waiver of Notice.  Each Loan Party hereby waives notice of non-payment of

right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.
12.3Jury Waiver.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION

PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Article XIIIEFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.
13.1Term.  This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be
binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of each Loan Party,
Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the date hereof and shall
continue in full force and effect until the earliest to occur of (a) February
27, 2025, (b) in the event that the Term Loans have not been repaid,
repurchased, redeemed, refinanced, exchanged or otherwise satisfied in full
prior to such date of determination, including the entire outstanding principal
amount thereof and interest, fees and premiums with respect thereto, the later
of (i) January 2, 2024, and (ii) sixty (60) days prior to the stated maturity
date of the Term Loan Agreement as such maturity date may be extended and in
effect from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Agreement
and the Intercreditor Agreement, or (c) such earlier date on which the
Commitments shall have been terminated (such earliest date in the foregoing
clauses (a) through (c), the “Term”).  Loan Parties may terminate this Agreement
at any time upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (the effectiveness of
which may be contingent upon the consummation of a pending refinancing of the
Obligations or the sale of the equity in Loan Parties upon Payment in Full of
the Obligations).
13.2Termination.  The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any Loan
Party’s, Agent’s or any Lender’s rights, or any of the Obligations having their
inception prior to the effective date of such termination or any Obligations
which pursuant to the terms hereof continue to accrue after such date, and the
provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions
entered into, rights or interests created or Obligations (other than Hedge
Liabilities, Cash Management Liabilities and contingent indemnification
obligations with respect to which no claim has been asserted or threatened) have
been fully and indefeasibly paid, disposed of, concluded or liquidated.  The
security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent and Lenders hereunder and
the financing statements filed hereunder shall continue in full force and
effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that
Borrowers’ Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit
position, until Payment in Full all of the Obligations or each Loan Party has
furnished Agent and Lenders with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent and
Lenders with respect thereto.  Accordingly, each Loan Party waives any rights
which it may have under the Uniform Commercial Code to demand the filing of
termination statements with respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be
required to send such termination statements to each Loan Party, or to file them
with any filing office, unless and until Payment in Full of the  Obligations.
 All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained
herein shall survive termination hereof until Payment in Full of the
Obligations.
13.3Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  Each of the Lenders Each of the Lenders
(including in their capacities as holders of any Cash Management Liabilities and
Hedge Liabilities) and the Issuer authorize Agent, at its option and in its
discretion:
(a)to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under this
Agreement or any Other Document (i) Payment in Full of the Obligations, provided
that Agent and Lenders shall have received reasonably satisfactory releases and
indemnifications and assurances regarding surviving Obligations, (ii) that is
sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted under
this Agreement or any Other Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or
ratified in writing in accordance with Section 16.2; and

156

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b)to release any Loan Party from its obligations under this Agreement or any
Other Document if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a
transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing
Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or
items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations pursuant to
this Section 13.3.  In each case as specified in this Section 13.3, Agent will,
at Loan Partiess expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such
documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of
such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under
this Agreement or any Other Document or to subordinate its interest in such
item, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations, in each case in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Other Documents and this
Section 13.3.

Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into
any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability
of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Agent’s Lien, or any
certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall Agent
be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain
any portion of the Collateral.

Article XIVREGARDING AGENT.
14.1Appointment.  Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such
Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents.  Each Lender hereby
irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers
and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically
delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral,
payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in the Fee
Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the
ratable benefit of Lenders.  Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or
through its agents or employees.  As to any matters not expressly provided for
by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) Agent shall not be required
to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or
to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining
from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other number of
Lenders required under this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding;
provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in
Agent’s discretion, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this
Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished
with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.
 In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Lenders
hereby acknowledges that it has received and reviewed copies of the
Intercreditor Agreement and hereby confirms Agent’s authority to on its behalf
thereunder.
14.2Nature of Duties.  Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents.  Neither
Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i)
liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in
connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere)

157

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any
manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any
Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the
Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection
with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party to
perform its obligations hereunder or under any Other Document.  Agent shall not
be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions
of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of any Loan Party.  The duties of Agent as respects the
Advances to Borrowers shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent
shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect
of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended
to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect
of this Agreement or the transactions described herein except as expressly set
forth herein.

14.3Lack of Reliance on Agent.  Independently and without reliance upon Agent or
any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan
Party in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances
hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and
(ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Loan Party.  Agent shall
have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to
provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto,
whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time
or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Loan Party pursuant to
the terms hereof.  Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in
any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with
or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, or of the
financial condition of any Loan Party, or be required to make any inquiry
concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions
or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial
condition or prospects of any Loan Party, or the existence of any Event of
Default or any Default.
14.4Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent.  Agent may resign on sixty (60) days
written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation,
Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably
satisfactory to Loan Parties (provided that no such approval by Loan Parties
shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of the
Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default).  Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and
duties of Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of Agent’s right, title
and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the
Obligations created hereunder or any Other Document (including the Pledge
Agreement, all account control agreements and any Mortgages), and the term
“Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the
former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without
any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent.  However,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of

158

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the effectiveness of the new Agent’s appointment, any further actions need to be
taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any
Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection
of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then
possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and
perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold
such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent
until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected
Lien on all Collateral, provided that Agent shall not be required to or have any
liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such
agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to
forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens).  After any
Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV, and any
indemnification rights under this Agreement, including without limitation,
rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this
Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant
to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this
Article XIV and any indemnification rights under this Agreement, including
without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with
such Liens).

14.5Certain Rights of Agent.  If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders
with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with
this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from
such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received
instructions from Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any
Person by reason of so refraining.  Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders
shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its
acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions
of Required Lenders (or such other number of Lenders required under this
Agreement).
14.6Reliance.  Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate,
email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or
other document or telephone message reasonably believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity,
and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the
Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
 Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the
default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent
with reasonable care.
14.7Notice of Default.  Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other
Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent
referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing 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, Agent shall give notice thereof to
Lenders.  Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required Lenders; 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, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the
best interests of Lenders.

159

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14.8Indemnification.  To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by
Loan Parties, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to
its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective
Participation Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding
Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the
percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the total
aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts), from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties
hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
Other Document; provided that, Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere)
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).
14.9Agent in its Individual Capacity.  With respect to the obligation of Agent
to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights
and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the
duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term
shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its
individual capacity as a Lender.  Agent may engage in business with any Loan
Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept
fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with
this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.
14.10Delivery of Documents.  To the extent Agent receives financial statements
or other written information required under Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.12 and
9.13 or Borrowing Base Certificates from any Loan Party pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement which any Loan Party is not obligated to deliver to each Lender,
Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.
14.11Loan Parties’ Undertaking to Agent.  Without prejudice to their respective
obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Loan
Party hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand
all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or
Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already
paid.  Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the
relevant Loan Party’s obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or
the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.
14.12No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program.  To the extent the
Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other
Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any
of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out
such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification
program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA

concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an
accommodation to Loan Parties and at their request.  Neither Agent nor any
Lender shall incur liability to Loan Parties as a result thereof.  To induce
Agent and Lenders to do so and in consideration thereof, each Loan Party hereby
indemnifies Agent and each Lender and holds Agent and each Lender harmless from
and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of
damage or injury asserted against Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from
or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Loan
Parties as provided herein, reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or
instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any

of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).
(c)All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Loan Party shall make
payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and
such obligation

161

or any other notice, any failure of Agent or any Lender to pursue or preserve
its rights against any Loan Party, the release by Agent or any Lender of any
Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Loan Party, and such agreement by
each Loan Party to pay upon any notice issued pursuant thereto is unconditional
and unaffected by prior recourse by Agent or any Lender to the other Loan
Parties or any Collateral for such Loan Party’s Obligations or the lack thereof.
 Each Loan Party waives all suretyship defenses.
15.2Waiver of Subrogation.  Each Loan Party expressly waives any and all rights
of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other
claim which such Loan Party may now or hereafter have against the other Loan

hereunder, or against or with respect to any other Loan Party’s property
(including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the
Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until
Payment in Full of the Obligations.
15.3Common Enterprise.  The successful operation and condition of each Loan
Party is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of
the group of Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each Loan
Party is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other
Loan Party.  Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of
directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be
expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from successful operations
of Holdings and each of the other Loan Parties.  Each Loan Party expects to
derive benefit (and the boards of directors or other governing body of each such
Loan Party have determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive
benefit), directly and indirectly, from the credit extended by the Lenders to
Loan Parties hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the

(a)THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS EXECUTED CONCURRENTLY HEREWITH CONTAIN THE
ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN EACH LOAN PARTY, AGENT AND EACH LENDER AND
SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, IF ANY, RELATING TO THE
SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.  ANY PROMISES, REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES
NOT HEREIN CONTAINED AND HEREINAFTER MADE SHALL HAVE NO FORCE AND EFFECT UNLESS
IN WRITING, SIGNED BY EACH LOAN PARTY’S, AGENT’S AND EACH LENDER’S RESPECTIVE
OFFICERS.  Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be
changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or
terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an
agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Agent and Borrowing Agent may jointly agree to modify this Agreement
or any of the Other Documents for the purposes of completing missing content or
correcting erroneous content of an administrative nature, with Borrowing Agent’s
written consent and without the need for a written amendment, provided that
Agent shall send a copy of any such modification to Loan Parties and each Lender
(which copy may be provided by electronic mail).  Each Loan Party acknowledges
that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this
Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or
statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(b)The Required Lenders, Agent and Loan Parties may, subject to the provisions
of this Section 16.2(b), from time to time enter into written supplemental
agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents (other than the Fee Letter
which can only be modified by Agent) executed by Loan Parties, for the purpose
of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving
in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent or Loan Parties thereunder or the
conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default
thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements;
provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

163

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)increase the Revolving Commitment Percentage or the maximum dollar amount of
the Revolving Commitment Amount of any Lender without the consent of such Lender
directly affected thereby;
(b)extend the maturity of any Note or the due date for any amount payable
hereunder (excluding any mandatory prepayment), or decrease the Applicable
Margin or reduce any fee payable by Loan Parties to Lenders pursuant to this
Agreement without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except
that Required Lenders may elect to waive or rescind any imposition of the
Default Rate under Section 3.1 or of default rates of Letter of Credit fees
under Section 3.2 (unless imposed by Agent));
(c)alter the definition of “Required Lenders” or alter, amend or modify this
Section 16.2(b) without the consent of all Lenders;
(d)release or subordinate any ABL Facility Priority Collateral during any
calendar year (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement)
having an aggregate value in excess of $10,000,000 without the consent of all
Lenders;
(e)change the rights and duties of Agent without the consent of all Lenders;
(f)subject to clause (e) below, permit any Revolving Advance to be made if after
giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder
(including Protective Advances) would exceed the Formula Amount for more than
thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or exceed one hundred ten percent (110%)
of the Formula Amount without the consent of each Lender directly affected
thereby;
(g)increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing
Date without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(h)release any Loan Party (other than in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement) without the consent of all Lenders; or
(i)alter, amend or modify the provisions of Section 11.5 without the consent of
all Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and without limiting
Section 13.3, if as a result of any transaction not prohibited by this Agreement
any Loan Party becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, an Immaterial Subsidiary or is
otherwise no longer required to be a Loan Party pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement or any Other Document, then such Loan Party’s obligations
hereunder and under the Other Documents shall be automatically released. If as a
result of any transaction not prohibited by this Agreement the property of
(including Equity Interests held by) any Person is no longer required to be
pledged pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any Other Document, then
the security interest of the Agent and the other Secured Parties therein shall
be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release
pursuant to this Section 16.2(b), the Agent and any applicable Lender shall
promptly execute and deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense,
all documents that such Credit Party shall reasonably request to evidence such
termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this
Section 16.2(b) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the

164

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Agent or any Lender.

(c)Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall
be binding upon Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the
Obligations.  In the case of any waiver, Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall
be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default
waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a
specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default
(whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of
Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.
(d)In the event that Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this
Section 16.2 and such consent is denied, then PNC may, at its option, require
such Lender to assign its interest in the Advances to PNC or to another Lender
or to any other Person designated by Agent and reasonably acceptable to Loan
Parties (the “Designated Lender”), for a price equal to the then outstanding
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such
Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Loan Parties.
 In the event PNC elects to require any Lender to assign its interest to PNC or
to the Designated Lender, PNC will so notify such Lender in writing within forty
five (45) days following such Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its
interest to PNC or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following
receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by
such Lender, PNC or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent.
(e)Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default,
(ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section
8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make
Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any
other contrary provision of this Agreement, Agent may at its discretion and
without the consent of the Required Lenders, voluntarily permit the outstanding
Revolving Advances at any time to exceed the Formula Amount by up to ten percent
(10%) of the Formula Amount for up to thirty (30) consecutive calendar days (the
“Out-of-Formula Loans”), but in no event shall the Out-of-Formula Loans exceed
the Maximum Loan Amount.  If Agent is willing in its sole and absolute
discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving
Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance
with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, and such Out-of-Formula
Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate for
Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans; provided that, if Agent
does permit Out-of-Formula Loans, neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed
thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender be
obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment
Amount.  For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Agent
hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time
to time due to the fact that the Formula Amount was unintentionally exceeded for
any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be
either “Eligible Unbilled Receivables” “Eligible Receivables” or “Eligible Parts
Inventory”, as applicable, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables
applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are thereafter returned for
insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the
Collateral.  In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving
Advances to exceed the Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%), Agent
shall use its efforts to have Loan Parties decrease such excess in as
expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not
inconsistent with the reason

165

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

for such excess.  Revolving Advances made after Agent has determined the
existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary
overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence.
 To the extent any Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other
Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(e), Agent may elect in its
discretion to fund such Out-of-Formula Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans
so funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to
Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest)
and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and
the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.
(f)In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving
Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Agent is hereby authorized by
Loan Parties and Lenders, at any time in Agent’s sole discretion, regardless of
(i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the
other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not
been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances
hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary
provision of this Agreement, to make Revolving Advances to Borrowers on behalf
of Lenders which Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or
desirable (a) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b)
to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the
Advances and other Obligations, or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to
Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Protective
Advances”); provided, that at any time after giving effect to any such Revolving
Advances the outstanding Revolving Advances do not exceed one hundred and ten
percent (110%) of the Formula Amount and provided such Revolving Advances in
excess of the Formula Amount but not in excess of one hundred and ten percent
(110%) of the Formula Amount do not remain outstanding for more than thirty (30)
consecutive calendar days, provided further that at any time after giving effect
to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Revolving Advances, Swing Loans
Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit do not exceed the
Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.  Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments
shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and effect a settlement with
Agent therefor upon demand of Agent in accordance with their respective
Revolving Commitment Percentages.  To the extent any Protective Advances are not
actually funded by the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f),
any such Protective Advances funded by Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving
Advances made by and owing to Agent, and Agent shall be entitled to all rights
(including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving
Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such
Revolving Advances.
(g)For the avoidance of doubt, nothing set forth in this Section 16.2 (i) shall
affect the ability of holders of Hedge Liabilities or Cash Management
Liabilities to amend or otherwise modify all documents and agreements relating
to such Hedge Liabilities or Cash Management Liabilities, as applicable, in
accordance with their terms, or (ii) shall provide the holders of Hedge
Liabilities or Cash Management Liabilities, in their capacities as such, any
consent or voting rights with respect to the matters referred to in this Section
16.2.
16.3Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders.

166

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Loan
Parties, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party may assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of Agent and each Lender.
(b)Each Loan Party acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking
business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell
participating interests in the Advances to other Persons without the consent of
Agent, Loan Parties or any other Lender to other financial institutions (each
such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a “Participant”);
provided, that any such sale of participating interests must be for a constant
and non-varying interest in all Advances.  Each Participant may exercise all
rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of
such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder and shall be
entitled to the benefits of Section 3.7 and Section 3.10 (subject to the
requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section
3.10(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section
3.10(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) provided that (i) the
Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.11 as if it were
an assignee, (ii) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Section 3.7 or Section 3.10, with respect to any participation,
than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive had such
Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations
payable hereunder and (iii) in no event shall Loan Parties be required to pay
any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same
Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder with respect to both such Lender
and such Participant.  Each Loan Party hereby grants to any Participant a
continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually
or constructively held by such Participant as security for the Participant’s
interest in the Advances.  No Lenders shall transfer, grant, assign or sell any
participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any
amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or
waiver would require the approval of all Lenders pursuant to Section 16.2(b).
 Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as
a non-fiduciary agent of Loan Parties, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other Obligations
(the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation
to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's
interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations
under any loan document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure
is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other
obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
 For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c)Any Lender, with the consent of Agent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its rights
and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances under this Agreement and
the Other Documents to one or more

167

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

additional Persons and one or more additional Persons may commit to make
Advances hereunder (each a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less
than $5,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a
Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for
recording provided, that any such assignment of a portion must be for a constant
and non-varying portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement, the Other
Documents, the Advances and Commitment Percentage.  Upon such execution,
delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date
determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing
Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii)
the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that
purpose.  Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this
Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the
addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving
Commitment Percentage arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all
or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this
Agreement and the Other Documents.  Each Loan Party hereby consents to the
addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving
Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of
all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under
this Agreement and the Other Documents.  Loan Parties shall execute and deliver
such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to
effectuate the foregoing provided, however, that the consent of Loan Parties
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required
unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of
such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Permitted Assignee; provided that
Loan Parties shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless
they shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within five (5) Business
Days after having received prior notice thereof.
(d)Any Lender, with the consent of Agent which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or
any portion of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving
Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity, whether a
corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that
(i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank
loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business
and (ii) is administered, serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an
Affiliate of such Lender (a “Purchasing CLO” and together with each Participant
and Purchasing Lender, each a “Transferee” and collectively the “Transferees”),
pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement modified as appropriate to reflect
the interest being assigned (“Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement”),
executed by any intermediate purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the transferor
Lender, and Agent as appropriate and delivered to Agent for recording.  Upon
such execution and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date
determined pursuant to such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i)
Purchasing CLO thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in
such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of
a Lender thereunder and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the
extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement, the Modified Commitment Transfer
Supplement creating a novation for that purpose.  Such Modified

168

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the
extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such
Purchasing CLO.  Each Loan Party hereby consents to the addition of such
Purchasing CLO.  Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents
and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.
(e)Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer
Supplement and Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a
register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each
Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees
due hereunder.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence
of manifest error, and each Loan Party, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded
therein for the purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for
inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Agent shall receive a fee in the amount
of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon
the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate
purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO.
(f)Each Loan Party authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any
prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s
possession concerning such Loan Party which has been delivered to such Lender by
or on behalf of such Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Loan Party.  Loan Parties, subject to
receipt from such Person of an agreement to be bound by the confidentiality
provisions of this Agreement.
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any
Lender may at any time and from time to 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 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.
16.4Application of Payments.  Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive
right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of
Collateral to any portion of the Obligations.  To the extent that any Loan Party
makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the
Collateral for any Loan Party’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to
a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under
any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the
Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such
Lender.
16.5Indemnity.  Each Loan Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save
harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers,
directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified
Party”) for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including reasonable and documented  fees and disbursements of counsel)
(collectively, “Claims”) which

169

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in
arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or
indirect, of:  (i) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other
Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the
Transactions, (ii) any action or failure to act or action taken only after delay
or the satisfaction of any conditions by any Indemnified Party in connection
with and/or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery or administration
of the Agreement and the Other Documents, the credit facilities established
hereunder and thereunder and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including
the Transactions, (iii) any Loan Party’s failure to observe, perform or
discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or
breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and
the Other Documents, (iv) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of
Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (v) any
threatened or actual imposition of fines or penalties, or disgorgement of

Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Loan Party, and (vi) any claim, litigation,
proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental
Authority or instrumentality, any Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any
Borrowers, or any Guarantor, or any other Person with respect to any aspect of,
or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to,
this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Agent or any Lender is a
party thereto, in each case except to the extent that any of the foregoing
arises out of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified
Party, (B) the material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under
this Agreement or any Other Document or (C) disputes arising solely among
Indemnified Parties not arising from any act or omission by any Loan Party (in
each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable judgment).  Without limiting the generality of any of the
foregoing, each Loan Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save
harmless each Indemnified Party from (x) any Claims which may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in any
way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any
Letter of Credit hereunder and (y) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party under any Environmental Laws with
respect to or in connection with the Real Property, any Hazardous Discharge, the
presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Real Property (whether or not
the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real
estate), including any Claims consisting of or relating to the imposition or
assertion of any Lien on any of the Real Property under any Environmental Laws
and any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except
to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any
Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of Agent or any Lender.
 Loan Parties’ obligations under this Section 16.5 shall arise upon the
discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Real Property,
whether or not any federal, state, or local environmental agency has taken or
threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous
Materials, in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing
arises out of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified
Party, (B) the material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under
this Agreement or any Other Document or (C) disputes arising solely among
Indemnified Parties not arising from any act or omission by any Loan Party (in
each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable judgment).

16.7Survival.  The obligations of Borrowers under Sections 2.2(f), 2.2(g),
2.2(h), 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 16.5 and 16.9 and the obligations of Lenders under
Sections 2.2, 2.15(b), 2.16, 2.18, 2.19, 14.8 and 16.5, shall survive
termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents and payment in full of the
Obligations.
16.8Severability.  If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by,
or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision shall be inapplicable
and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the
remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so
far as possible.
16.9Expenses.  Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates (including the
reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Agent),
and shall pay all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may
be employees of Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Agreement and the Other Documents or any
amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of
any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, any Lender or Issuer (including the
documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Agent, any Lender
or Issuer), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be
employees of Agent, any Lender or Issuer, in connection with the enforcement or
protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the Other
Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with
the Advances made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and (iv) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Agent’s regular employees and agents
engaged periodically to perform audits of the any Borrower’s or any Borrower’s
Affiliate’s or Subsidiary’s books, records and business properties.
16.10Injunctive Relief.  Each Borrower recognizes that, in the event any
Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or
discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be
inadequate relief to Lenders; therefor, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be
entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without
the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.
16.11Consequential Damages.  Neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or
attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Borrower, or any Guarantor (or
any Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or
consequential damages arising from any

173

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment,
administration or collection of the Obligations or as a result of any
transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other Document.

for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part
of this Agreement.
16.13Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of
which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts
shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Any signature delivered by a party
by facsimile or electronic transmission (including email transmission of a PDF
image) shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.
16.14Construction.  The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have
reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect
that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be
employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or
exhibits thereto.
16.15Confidentiality; Sharing Information.  Agent, each Lender and each
Transferee shall hold all non-public information obtained by Agent, such Lender
or such Transferee pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance
with Agent’s, such Lender’s and such Transferee’s customary procedures for
handling confidential information of this nature; provided, however, Agent, each
Lender and each Transferee may disclose such confidential information (a) to its
examiners, Affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional
advisors, (b) to Agent, any Lender or to any prospective Transferees, and (c) as
required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or
pursuant to legal process; provided, further that (i) unless specifically
prohibited by Applicable Law, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall use
its reasonable best efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify the
applicable Borrower of the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public
information (A) by a Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other
than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial
condition of a Lender or a Transferee by such Governmental Authority or any such
other request from a Governmental Authority with regulatory authority over a
Lender or Transferee) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii) in no event
shall Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials
furnished by any Borrower other than those documents and instruments in
possession of Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral
upon Payment in Full of the Obligations.  Each Borrower acknowledges that from
time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be
offered or provided to such Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in
connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more
Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each Borrower hereby authorizes
each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Borrower
and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the
decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or
Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or
Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the
provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder.  Such
authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any non-disclosure agreement or
similar document executed by Agent in favor

174

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of any Borrower or any of any Borrower’s Affiliates, the provisions of this
Agreement shall supersede such agreements.

16.16Publicity.  Each Borrower and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent and each
Lender to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered
into among Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, including announcements which are
commonly known as tombstones, in such publications and to such selected parties
as Agent shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate or any such
Lender shall in its reasonable discretion after consultation with Borrowing
Agent deem appropriate (as applicable), in each case subject to the
confidentiality provisions of Section 16.15.
16.17Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act.
(a)Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated
under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not
excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA
PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate
of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence
in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a
banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign
bank) shall deliver to Agent the certification, or, if applicable,
recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to
other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the
applicable regulations:  (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and
(2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.
(b)The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and
record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities
which open an “account” with such financial institution.  Consequently, each
Lender may from time to time request, and each Borrower shall provide to the
Lenders, such Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such
other identifying information as shall be necessary for the Lenders to comply
with the USA PATRIOT Act and any other Anti-Terrorism Law.
16.18Anti-Terrorism Laws.  
(a)Each Borrower represents and warrants that (i) no Covered Entity is a
Sanctioned Person and (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through
any third party, (A) has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the
possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any
Anti-Terrorism Law; (B) does business in or with, or derives any of its income
from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned
Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; or (C) engages in any dealings or
transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law.
(b)Each Borrower covenants and agrees that (i) no Covered Entity will become a
Sanctioned Person, (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through
any third party, will (A) have any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in
the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any
Anti-Terrorism Law; (B) do business in or with, or derive any of its income from
investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned

175

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (C) engage in any dealings or
transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law or (D) use the Advances to
fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or, make any
payments to, a Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any
Anti-Terrorism Law, (iii) the funds used to repay the Obligations will not be
derived from any unlawful activity, (iv) each Covered Entity shall comply with
all Anti-Terrorism Laws and (v) Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent in writing
upon the occurrence of a Reportable Compliance Event.
16.19Concerning Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.
(a)Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in
consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Lenders under
this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each
Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each Borrower to accept
joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them, and without
regard to whether any Borrower is a direct party thereto or has actual knowledge
thereof.
(b)Each Borrower jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several
liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and performance
of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all
the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower
without preferences or distinction among them.
(c)If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with
respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the
Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the
other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such
Obligation.
(d)The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 16.19
constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to
the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances
whatsoever.
(e)Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives
notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Advance
made under this Agreement, notice of occurrence of any Event of Default, or of
any demand for any payment under this Agreement (except as otherwise provided
herein), notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by any Lender under
or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence and,
generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in
connection with this Agreement.  Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives
notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of
the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver,
consent or other action or acquiescence by any Lender at any time or times in
respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any
term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other
indulgences whatsoever by any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and
the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time
or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or in part, at any time or
times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution
or release, in

176

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

whole or in part, of any Borrower.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or
failure to act on the part of any Lender, including, without limitation, any
failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to
comply fully with the applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but
for the provisions of this Section 16.19, afford grounds for terminating,
discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its
obligations under this Section 16.19, it being the intention of each Borrower
that, so long as any of the Obligations remain unsatisfied, the obligations of
such Borrower under this Section 16.19 shall not be discharged except by
performance and then only to the extent of such performance or except as
otherwise agreed in writing in accordance with Section 16.2.  The Obligations of
each Borrower under this Section 16.19 shall not be diminished or rendered
unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation,
reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Lender.
 The joint and several liability of Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full
force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any
other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of
formation of any Borrower or any Lender.
(f)The provisions of this Section 16.19 are made for the benefit of the Lenders
and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any such
Person from time to time against any Borrower as often as occasion therefor may
arise and without requirement on the part of any Lender first to marshal any of
its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any of the other Borrowers
or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the other Borrowers or
to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the
Obligations or to elect any other remedy.  The provisions of this Section 16.19
shall remain in effect until the Payment in Full of the Obligations.  If at any
time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the
Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any
Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or
otherwise, the provisions of this Section 16.19 will forthwith be reinstated in
effect, as though such payment had not been made.
(g)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other of the Other Documents, to the extent the joint obligations of a Borrower
shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including,
without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to
fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each Borrower
hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under
Applicable Law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, any
federal or state bankruptcy laws).
(h)Borrowers hereby agree, as among themselves, that if any Borrower shall
become an Excess Funding Borrower (as defined below), each other Borrower shall,
on demand of such Excess Funding Borrower (but subject to the next sentence
hereof and to subsection (B) below), pay to such Excess Funding Borrower an
amount equal to such Borrower’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined,
for this purpose, without reference to the properties, assets, liabilities and
debts of such Excess Funding Borrower) of such Excess Payment (as defined
below).  The payment obligation of any Borrower to any Excess Funding Borrower
under this Section 16.19(h) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment
to the prior payment in full of the Obligations (except for Hedge Liabilities,
Cash Management Liabilities and contingent indemnification obligations with
respect to which no claim has been asserted or threatened) of such Borrower
under the other provisions of this Agreement, and such Excess Funding Borrower

177

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until Payment
in Full of the Obligations.  For purposes hereof, (i) “Excess Funding Borrower”
shall mean, in respect of any Obligations arising under the other provisions of
this Agreement (hereafter, the “Joint Obligations”), a Borrower that has paid an
amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Joint Obligations; (ii) “Excess
Payment” shall mean, in respect of any Joint Obligations, the amount paid by an
Excess Funding Borrower in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Joint
Obligations; and (iii) “Pro Rata Share”, for the purposes of this Section
16.19(h), shall mean, for any Borrower, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of
(A) 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 (B)
the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and
other properties of such Borrower and all of the other Borrowers exceeds the
amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such
Borrower and the other Borrowers hereunder) of such Borrower and all of the
other Borrowers, all as of the Closing Date (if any Borrower becomes a party
hereto subsequent to the Closing Date, then for the purposes of this Section
16.19(h) such subsequent Borrower shall be deemed to have been a Borrower as of
the Closing Date and the information pertaining to, and only pertaining to, such
Borrower as of the date such Borrower became a Borrower shall be deemed true as
of the Closing Date) notwithstanding the payment obligations imposed on
Borrowers in this Section, the failure of a Borrower to make any payment to an
Excess Funding Borrower as required under this Section shall not constitute an
Event of Default.
16.20Delegation of Authority.  Each Loan Party (other than Holdings) hereby
authorizes and appoints Borrowing Agent and each of the President and Chief
Financial Officer of Borrowing Agent, to be its attorneys (“its Attorneys”) and
in its name and on its behalf and as its act and deed or otherwise to execute
and deliver all documents and carry out all such acts as are necessary or
appropriate in connection with drawing Advances and the making of other
extensions of credit hereunder, the granting and perfection of security
interests under this Agreement and the Other Documents, and complying with the
terms and provisions hereof and the Other Documents.  This delegation of
authority and appointment shall be valid for the duration of the term of this
Agreement; provided, however, that such delegation of authority and appointment
shall terminate automatically without any further act with respect to any such
officer of Borrowing Agent if such officer is no longer an employee of Borrowing
Agent.  Each Loan Party (other than Borrowing Agent) hereby undertakes to ratify
everything which any of its Attorneys shall do in furtherance of this delegation
of authority and appointment.
16.21Reallocation of the Advances and the Commitment Amounts.  On the Closing
Date and on each date when a new Lender becomes a party to the Credit Agreement
pursuant to Section 2.24 hereof or an existing Lender increases its Commitment
Percentage pursuant to Section 2.24 hereof (in each case, a “Commitment Change
Date”), (i) each Lender, if any, whose relative proportion of its Commitment
Percentage increases over the proportion of the Commitment Percentage held by it
prior to the Closing Date (or held by it prior to such Commitment Change Date)
and/or (ii) each new Lender that increased its Commitment Percentage after the
Closing Date, shall, by assignments among them (which assignments shall be
deemed to occur hereunder automatically, and without any requirement for
additional

178

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

documentation, on the Closing Date or any Commitment Change Date, as applicable)
acquire a portion of the Advances held by them from and among each other, and
shall, through Agent, make such other adjustments among themselves as may be
necessary so that after giving effect to such assignments and adjustments, such
existing Lenders and such new Lenders, as applicable, shall hold all Advances
outstanding under this Agreement ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages as reflected on Exhibit 1.2(b) hereto, as are amended (or
deemed amended) from time to time to include the new Commitment Percentages each
time a Commitment Increase Certificate or Additional Lender Certificate is
accepted by Agent.  On the Closing Date or the Commitment Change Date, as
applicable, all Interest Periods in respect of any LIBOR Rate Loans that were
required to be assigned as set forth above shall automatically be terminated
solely with respect to any such Lender that has assigned any such LIBOR Rate
Loans (but not with respect to any Lender that is an assignee of any such
Lender).  Borrower shall on the Closing Date or the Commitment Change Date, as
applicable, make payments to the Lenders that held such LIBOR Rate Loans that
were required to be assigned as set forth above to compensate for such
termination as if such termination were a payment or prepayment referred to in
Article II.

16.22Amendment and Restatement.
(a)Certain Borrowers, Agent and certain Lenders were parties to that certain
Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated December 30, 2008 (as
amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date of the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement described below, the “Original Credit Agreement”).  On May 31,
2013, certain Borrowers, Agent and certain Lenders amended and restated the
Original Credit Agreement pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (as amended, modified or
supplemented prior to the date of the Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement described below, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).  On
November 12, 2013, certain Borrowers, Agent and certain Lenders amended and
restated the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to that certain
Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement
(as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date of the Third Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement described below, the “Second Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement”).  On October 2, 2014, certain Borrowers, Agent and certain
Lenders amended and restated the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
pursuant to that certain Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan
and Security Agreement (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date
hereof, the “Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).  On August 9, 2016,
certain Borrowers, Agent and certain Lenders amended and restated the Third
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to that certain Fourth Amended
and Restated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (as amended,
modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “Fourth Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement”, and together with the Original Credit Agreement, the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the “Existing Credit
Agreement”).  Borrowers have requested that the Lenders amend and restate the
Existing Credit Agreement as set forth herein.  It is the intention the parties
hereto that the Revolving Advances outstanding under the Existing Credit
Agreement prior to the Closing Date shall continue and remain outstanding and
shall not be repaid on the Closing Date but shall constitute outstanding
Revolving Advances hereunder and accordingly, the Revolving Advances made
hereunder are not an extinguishment or novation of the Revolving

179

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advances made pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement (as herein amended and
restated by this Agreement).
(b)The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Agreement and the
Other Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or
otherwise, do not constitute a novation or repayment and reborrowing of the
Advances and the other Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement the Other
Documents (as defined therein) as in effect prior to the Closing Date and which
remain outstanding as of the Closing Date, (ii) the Obligations under the
Existing Credit Agreement and such Other Documents in all respects continuing
